अय्यूब 40
1 परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित निरन्तर बोल्नुभयो । उहाँले यसो भन्नुभयो,
And the Lord God answered Job, and said,
2 “आलोचना गर्न चाहनेले सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई सुधार्ने कोसिस गर्नुपर्छ र? जसले परमेश्वरसित विवाद गर्छ, त्यसले जवाफ देओस् ।”
Will [any one] pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.
3 तब अय्यूबले परमेश्वरलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
And Job answered and said to the Lord,
4 “हेर्नुहोस्, म नगण्य छु । मैले तपाईंलाई कसरी जवाफ दिन सक्छु र? म आफ्नो हातलाई आफ्नो मुखमा राख्छु ।
Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 मैले एकपल्ट बोलें, अनि म अब जवाफ दिने छैनँ । वास्तवमा दुई पकट बोलें, तर म अरू अगाडि बढनेछैनँ ।”
I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time.
6 तब परमप्रभुले प्रचण्ड आँधीबाट अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो,
And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying],
7 “अब एक जना मानिसले झैं आफ्नो कम्मर कस्, किनकि म तँलाई प्रश्नहरू सोध्नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनैपर्छ ।
Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.
8 के म अन्यायी छु भनेर तँ साँच्चै भन्छस्? तैंले आफू ठिक छु भनी दाबी गर्नलाई तँ मलाई दोष लगाउँछस्?
Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous?
9 के तँसँग परमेश्वरको जस्तो पाखुरा छ? के तँ उहाँको जस्तो आवाजले गर्जन सक्छस्?
Hast thou an arm like the Lord's? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his?
10 अब महिमा र इज्जतले आफैलाई सुसज्जित पार । आदर र ऐश्वर्यले आफैलाई सुसोभित पार ।
Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour.
11 तेरो रिसको झोँक छरपष्ट पार् । हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् ।
And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one.
12 हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् । दुष्ट मानिसहरू खडा भएकै ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई कुल्ची ।
Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly.
13 तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ जमिनमा गाडिदे । तिनीहरूका अनुरहरूलाई लुकाइएको ठाउँमा कैद गर् ।
And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.
14 तब तेरो दाहिने हातले तँलाई बचाउन सक्दोरहेछ, भनेर म तेरो विषयमा स्वीकार गर्नेछु ।
[Then] will I confess that thy right hand can save [thee].
15 अब मैले तँलाई बनाउँदा बनाएको बहेमोथलाई विचार गर् । एउटा गोरुले झैं त्यसले घाँस खान्छ ।
But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen.
16 हेर्, त्यसको बल त्यसको कम्मरमा हुन्छ । त्यसको शक्ति त्यसको पेटको मांसपेशीमा हुन्छ ।
Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 त्यसले आफ्नो पुच्छर देवदारुको रुखझैं बनाउँछ । त्यसको तिघ्राका नसाहरू कसिएका हुन्छन् ।
He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.
18 त्यसका हड्डीहरू काँसाका नलीहरूझैं हुन्छन् । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू फलामका गजबारहरूझैं हुन्छन् ।
His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron.
19 परमेश्वरका सृष्टिहरूमध्ये त्यो मुख्य हो । त्यसलाई बनाउनुहुने परमेश्वरले मात्र त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।
This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.
20 किनकि पहाडहरूले त्यसलाई खानेकुरो जुटाउँछन् । वन-पशुहरू त्यसकै नजिक खेल्छन् ।
And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.
21 कमलको फुलमुनि त्यो लुकेर बस्छ । निगालोको झाडीको छाया र सिमसारहरूमा त्यो लुक्छ ।
He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush.
22 कमलको फुलको छायाले त्यसलाई ढाक्छ । खोलाका लहरे-पीपलहरूले त्यसलाई चारैतिर घेर्छ ।
And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field.
23 नदीको बाडी उर्लेर किनारमा आयो भने त्यो काँप्दैन । यर्दन नदी नै उर्लेर आई त्यसको मुखमा पस्यो भने पनि त्यो निर्धक्क हुन्छ ।
If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.
24 के कसैले त्यसलाई बल्छीले पक्रन सक्छ? अथवा पासो थापेर त्यसको नाक छेड्न सक्छ?
[Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose.
