< अय्यूब 42 >

1 तब अय्यूबले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
2 “तपाईंले सबै कुरा गर्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ भनी म जान्‍दछु, र तपाईंको कुनै पनि उद्देश्यलाई रोक्‍न सकिंदैन ।
I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
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 ।
Who is he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 तपाईंले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'अब सुन्, र म बोल्नेछु । म तँलाई सोध्‍नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनेछस् ।'
Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
5 तपाईंको विषयमा मेरा कानले मात्र मैले सुनेको थिएँ, तर अहिले मेरा आँखाले नै तपाईंलाई देखेका छन् ।
I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
6 त्यसैले म आफैलाई हीन ठान्‍छु । धूलो र खरानीमा बसेर म पश्‍चात्ताप गर्छु ।”
Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am 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 ।
And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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 ।”
And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
9 त्यसैले एलीपज तेमानी, बिल्दद शुही र सोपर नमाती गए, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएझैं गरे, अनि परमप्रभुले अय्यूबको प्रार्थना ग्रहण गर्नुभयो ।
Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
10 अय्यूबले आफ्ना मित्रहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरेपछि, परमप्रभुले तिनको सुदिन पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुभयो । तिनीसित पहिले भएकोभन्दा परमप्रभुले तिनलाई दोब्बर दिनुभयो ।
And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
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 ।
And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring of gold.
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 ।
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 तिनका सात छोरा र तिन छोरी पनि थिए ।
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 तिनले जेठीको नाउँ यमीमा, माहिलीको नाउँ कसीआ र कान्छीको नाउँ केरेन-हप्पूक राखे ।
And he called the name of the first Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 सारा देशमा अय्यूबका छोरीहरूजत्तिकै सुन्दरी कुनै स्‍त्रीहरू पनि थिएनन् । तिनीहरूका पिताले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍ना दाजुभाइसरह नै पैतृक-अंश दिए ।
And there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 यसपछि अय्यूब थप १४० वर्षसम्म बाँचे । तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरू, नातिहरू र चार पुस्तासम्मका सन्तानहरूलाई देखे ।
And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 तब पुरा बुढेसकालमा दीर्घायू भएर अय्यूब मरे ।
Then died Job, being old and full of days.
