अय्यूब 40
1 परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित निरन्तर बोल्नुभयो । उहाँले यसो भन्नुभयो,
Then Yahweh said to Job,
2 “आलोचना गर्न चाहनेले सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई सुधार्ने कोसिस गर्नुपर्छ र? जसले परमेश्वरसित विवाद गर्छ, त्यसले जवाफ देओस् ।”
“Do you still want to argue with me, the Almighty One? Since you criticize me, (you should be able to answer my questions!/why are you not able to answer my questions?) [RHQ]”
3 तब अय्यूबले परमेश्वरलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Job replied to Yahweh,
4 “हेर्नुहोस्, म नगण्य छु । मैले तपाईंलाई कसरी जवाफ दिन सक्छु र? म आफ्नो हातलाई आफ्नो मुखमा राख्छु ।
“[Now I realize that] I am completely worthless. So (how could I answer [those questions]?/I could not possibly answer [those questions]!) [RHQ] I will put my hand over my mouth [and not say anything].
5 मैले एकपल्ट बोलें, अनि म अब जवाफ दिने छैनँ । वास्तवमा दुई पकट बोलें, तर म अरू अगाडि बढनेछैनँ ।”
I have already said more than I should have said, so now I will say nothing more.”
6 तब परमप्रभुले प्रचण्ड आँधीबाट अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो,
Then Yahweh [again] spoke to Job from inside the great windstorm. He said,
7 “अब एक जना मानिसले झैं आफ्नो कम्मर कस्, किनकि म तँलाई प्रश्नहरू सोध्नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनैपर्छ ।
“I want to ask you some [more] questions. So as men prepare themselves for a difficult task [MET], prepare yourself again to answer some [more] questions.
8 के म अन्यायी छु भनेर तँ साँच्चै भन्छस्? तैंले आफू ठिक छु भनी दाबी गर्नलाई तँ मलाई दोष लगाउँछस्?
“Are you going to accuse me and say that I am unjust? Are you going to say that what I have done is wrong, in order that you can say that what you have done is right?
9 के तँसँग परमेश्वरको जस्तो पाखुरा छ? के तँ उहाँको जस्तो आवाजले गर्जन सक्छस्?
Are you as powerful [MTY] as I am? Can your voice sound [as loud] as thunder, as mine can?
10 अब महिमा र इज्जतले आफैलाई सुसज्जित पार । आदर र ऐश्वर्यले आफैलाई सुसोभित पार ।
[If you can do that], put on the robes that show that you are glorious and are greatly honored!
11 तेरो रिसको झोँक छरपष्ट पार् । हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् ।
Show that you are very angry; show that you have the right/authority to humble people who are [very] proud!
12 हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् । दुष्ट मानिसहरू खडा भएकै ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई कुल्ची ।
Humble those proud people [just] by looking at them [angrily] Crush wicked people quickly!
13 तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ जमिनमा गाडिदे । तिनीहरूका अनुरहरूलाई लुकाइएको ठाउँमा कैद गर् ।
Bury them in the ground! Send them to the place where dead people are, where they will not be able to get out!
14 तब तेरो दाहिने हातले तँलाई बचाउन सक्दोरहेछ, भनेर म तेरो विषयमा स्वीकार गर्नेछु ।
After you do that, I will congratulate/praise you and say that [truly] you can save yourself by your own ability/power.
15 अब मैले तँलाई बनाउँदा बनाएको बहेमोथलाई विचार गर् । एउटा गोरुले झैं त्यसले घाँस खान्छ ।
“Think [also] about the huge animals that live near the water. I made you, and I made them also. They eat grass, like oxen do.
16 हेर्, त्यसको बल त्यसको कम्मरमा हुन्छ । त्यसको शक्ति त्यसको पेटको मांसपेशीमा हुन्छ ।
Their legs/thighs are [very] strong, and the muscles of their bellies are [very] powerful.
17 त्यसले आफ्नो पुच्छर देवदारुको रुखझैं बनाउँछ । त्यसको तिघ्राका नसाहरू कसिएका हुन्छन् ।
Their tails are stiff (OR, bend down) like the branches of a cedar tree. The sinews/muscles of their thighs are close together.
18 त्यसका हड्डीहरू काँसाका नलीहरूझैं हुन्छन् । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू फलामका गजबारहरूझैं हुन्छन् ।
Their [thigh] bones are [like] tubes [made] of bronze, and the bones of their legs are like bars [made] of iron.
19 परमेश्वरका सृष्टिहरूमध्ये त्यो मुख्य हो । त्यसलाई बनाउनुहुने परमेश्वरले मात्र त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।
They are among the strongest of the animals that I made, and I, who created them, am the only one who can kill them.
20 किनकि पहाडहरूले त्यसलाई खानेकुरो जुटाउँछन् । वन-पशुहरू त्यसकै नजिक खेल्छन् ।
On the hills grows food [PRS] for them to eat while many [HYP] other wild animals play nearby.
21 कमलको फुलमुनि त्यो लुकेर बस्छ । निगालोको झाडीको छाया र सिमसारहरूमा त्यो लुक्छ ।
They lie down [in the water] under the lotus plants; they hide in [tall] reeds in the swamps.
22 कमलको फुलको छायाले त्यसलाई ढाक्छ । खोलाका लहरे-पीपलहरूले त्यसलाई चारैतिर घेर्छ ।
Those huge animals find shade under the lotus plants, and they are surrounded by poplar trees.
23 नदीको बाडी उर्लेर किनारमा आयो भने त्यो काँप्दैन । यर्दन नदी नै उर्लेर आई त्यसको मुखमा पस्यो भने पनि त्यो निर्धक्क हुन्छ ।
They are not disturbed by raging/swiftly-flowing rivers; they are not even disturbed/frightened when [rivers like the] Jordan [River] rush over them.
24 के कसैले त्यसलाई बल्छीले पक्रन सक्छ? अथवा पासो थापेर त्यसको नाक छेड्न सक्छ?
No one can [RHQ] catch them by blinding their eyes or by piercing their noses with [the teeth of] a trap!”
