अय्यूब 42
1 तब अय्यूबले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Job answered the Lord.
2 “तपाईंले सबै कुरा गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ भनी म जान्दछु, र तपाईंको कुनै पनि उद्देश्यलाई रोक्न सकिंदैन ।
“I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.
3 तपाईंले सोध्नुभयो, 'ज्ञानविना योजनाहरू लुकाउने को हो?' वास्तवमा मैले यस्ता कुराहरू बोलेको छु, जुन मैले बुझिनँ, जुन बुझ्न मलाई अत्यन्तै गार्हो थियो, जसको बारेमा मलाई थाहा थिएन ।
You asked, ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to know.
4 तपाईंले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'अब सुन्, र म बोल्नेछु । म तँलाई सोध्नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनेछस् ।'
You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’
5 तपाईंको विषयमा मेरा कानले मात्र मैले सुनेको थिएँ, तर अहिले मेरा आँखाले नै तपाईंलाई देखेका छन् ।
Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.
6 त्यसैले म आफैलाई हीन ठान्छु । धूलो र खरानीमा बसेर म पश्चात्ताप गर्छु ।”
That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
7 परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित यी वचनहरू बोल्नुभएपछि, उहाँले एलीपज तेमानीलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ र तेरा दुई जना मित्रको विरुद्धमा मेरो क्रोध दन्किएको छ, किनकि मेरो दास अय्यूबले झैं तिमीहरूले मेरो विषयमा जे ठिक छ, सो बोलेका छैनौ ।
After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.
8 त्यसकारण अब आफ्नो निम्ति सातवटा साँढे र सातवटा भेडा लेओ, मेरो दास अय्यूबकहाँ जाओ, र आफ्नो लागि होमबलि चढाओ । मेरो दास अय्यूबले तिमीहरूका लागि प्रार्थना चढाउनेछ, र म त्यसको प्रार्थना ग्रहण गर्नेछु, जसको कारणले तिमीहरूको मूर्खताअनुरूपको व्यवहार मैले तिमीहरूसित गर्न नपरोस् । मेरो दास अय्यूबले भनेझैं तिमीहरूले मेरो विषयमा जे ठिक छ, सो बोलेका छैनौ ।”
So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”
9 त्यसैले एलीपज तेमानी, बिल्दद शुही र सोपर नमाती गए, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएझैं गरे, अनि परमप्रभुले अय्यूबको प्रार्थना ग्रहण गर्नुभयो ।
So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
10 अय्यूबले आफ्ना मित्रहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरेपछि, परमप्रभुले तिनको सुदिन पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुभयो । तिनीसित पहिले भएकोभन्दा परमप्रभुले तिनलाई दोब्बर दिनुभयो ।
The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before.
11 तब अय्यूबका सबै दाजु-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनी र तिनले पहिले चिनेका सबै जना तिनीकहाँ आए, र तिनको घरमा भोज गरे । परमप्रभुले तिनीमाथि ल्याउनुभएका सबै विपत्तिको निम्ति तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सहानुभूति र सान्त्वना प्रकट गरे । हरेकले अय्यूबलाई चाँदीको टुक्रा र सुनको औँठी दिए ।
Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring.
12 परमप्रभुले अय्यूबको जीवनको अगिल्लो समयमा भन्दा पछिल्लो समयमा झन् धेरै आशिष् दिनुभयो । तिनका चौध हजार भेडा, छ हजार ऊँट, एक हजार हल गोरु र एक हजार गधैनी थिए ।
The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13 तिनका सात छोरा र तिन छोरी पनि थिए ।
Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 तिनले जेठीको नाउँ यमीमा, माहिलीको नाउँ कसीआ र कान्छीको नाउँ केरेन-हप्पूक राखे ।
Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
15 सारा देशमा अय्यूबका छोरीहरूजत्तिकै सुन्दरी कुनै स्त्रीहरू पनि थिएनन् । तिनीहरूका पिताले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना दाजुभाइसरह नै पैतृक-अंश दिए ।
Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as their brothers.
16 यसपछि अय्यूब थप १४० वर्षसम्म बाँचे । तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरू, नातिहरू र चार पुस्तासम्मका सन्तानहरूलाई देखे ।
Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.
17 तब पुरा बुढेसकालमा दीर्घायू भएर अय्यूब मरे ।
Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
