अय्यूब 40
1 परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित निरन्तर बोल्नुभयो । उहाँले यसो भन्नुभयो,
Moreover the LORD answered Job,
2 “आलोचना गर्न चाहनेले सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई सुधार्ने कोसिस गर्नुपर्छ र? जसले परमेश्वरसित विवाद गर्छ, त्यसले जवाफ देओस् ।”
“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3 तब अय्यूबले परमेश्वरलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Job answered the LORD,
4 “हेर्नुहोस्, म नगण्य छु । मैले तपाईंलाई कसरी जवाफ दिन सक्छु र? म आफ्नो हातलाई आफ्नो मुखमा राख्छु ।
“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on 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, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6 तब परमप्रभुले प्रचण्ड आँधीबाट अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो,
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
7 “अब एक जना मानिसले झैं आफ्नो कम्मर कस्, किनकि म तँलाई प्रश्नहरू सोध्नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनैपर्छ ।
“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8 के म अन्यायी छु भनेर तँ साँच्चै भन्छस्? तैंले आफू ठिक छु भनी दाबी गर्नलाई तँ मलाई दोष लगाउँछस्?
Will you even annul my judgement? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9 के तँसँग परमेश्वरको जस्तो पाखुरा छ? के तँ उहाँको जस्तो आवाजले गर्जन सक्छस्?
Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 अब महिमा र इज्जतले आफैलाई सुसज्जित पार । आदर र ऐश्वर्यले आफैलाई सुसोभित पार ।
“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honour and majesty.
11 तेरो रिसको झोँक छरपष्ट पार् । हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् ।
Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12 हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् । दुष्ट मानिसहरू खडा भएकै ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई कुल्ची ।
Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13 तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ जमिनमा गाडिदे । तिनीहरूका अनुरहरूलाई लुकाइएको ठाउँमा कैद गर् ।
Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 तब तेरो दाहिने हातले तँलाई बचाउन सक्दोरहेछ, भनेर म तेरो विषयमा स्वीकार गर्नेछु ।
Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 अब मैले तँलाई बनाउँदा बनाएको बहेमोथलाई विचार गर् । एउटा गोरुले झैं त्यसले घाँस खान्छ ।
“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16 हेर्, त्यसको बल त्यसको कम्मरमा हुन्छ । त्यसको शक्ति त्यसको पेटको मांसपेशीमा हुन्छ ।
Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17 त्यसले आफ्नो पुच्छर देवदारुको रुखझैं बनाउँछ । त्यसको तिघ्राका नसाहरू कसिएका हुन्छन् ।
He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 त्यसका हड्डीहरू काँसाका नलीहरूझैं हुन्छन् । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू फलामका गजबारहरूझैं हुन्छन् ।
His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19 परमेश्वरका सृष्टिहरूमध्ये त्यो मुख्य हो । त्यसलाई बनाउनुहुने परमेश्वरले मात्र त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।
He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20 किनकि पहाडहरूले त्यसलाई खानेकुरो जुटाउँछन् । वन-पशुहरू त्यसकै नजिक खेल्छन् ।
Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21 कमलको फुलमुनि त्यो लुकेर बस्छ । निगालोको झाडीको छाया र सिमसारहरूमा त्यो लुक्छ ।
He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22 कमलको फुलको छायाले त्यसलाई ढाक्छ । खोलाका लहरे-पीपलहरूले त्यसलाई चारैतिर घेर्छ ।
The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23 नदीको बाडी उर्लेर किनारमा आयो भने त्यो काँप्दैन । यर्दन नदी नै उर्लेर आई त्यसको मुखमा पस्यो भने पनि त्यो निर्धक्क हुन्छ ।
Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24 के कसैले त्यसलाई बल्छीले पक्रन सक्छ? अथवा पासो थापेर त्यसको नाक छेड्न सक्छ?
Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
