अय्यूब 5
1 अहिले बोलाउनुहोस् । तपाईंलाई जवाफ दिने कुनै व्यक्ति छ? पवित्र मानिसहरूमध्ये कुनतिर तपाईं फर्कनुहुनेछ?
Call if you want, but who is going to answer you? Which angel are you going to turn to?
2 किनकि मूर्ख मानिसलाई रिसले मार्छ। सजिलै छलमा पर्नेलाई ईर्ष्याले मार्छ ।
Surely anger slays the fool and jealousy kills the simple.
3 मूर्ख व्यक्तिले जरा गाडेको मैले देखेको छु, तर मैले एक्कासि त्यसको घरलाई सराप दिएँ ।
I have seen a fool growing strong, but I immediately cursed his house.
4 त्यसका छोराछोरी बिल्कुलै सुरक्षित छैनन् । तिनीहरू सहरको मूल ढोकामा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिएका छन् । तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने कोही छैन ।
His sons are never safe; they are crushed in court with no one to defend them.
5 भोकाएकाहरूले आफ्नो फसल खान्छन् । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई काँढाहरूका बिचबाट पनि बटुल्छन् । तिर्खाएकाहरूले आफ्नो धन-सम्पत्तिको तृष्णा गर्छन् ।
The hungry eat everything he has harvested, taking even that protected by a thorn hedge, while others look to steal his wealth.
6 किनकि कठिनाइ माटोबाट आउँदैन । न त भुइँबाट समस्या उम्रन्छ ।
For evil doesn't come from the dust; neither does trouble grow from the earth.
7 बरु, मानव-जाति कष्टकै लागि जन्मन्छन्, जसरी आगोको झिल्काहरू माथि उड्छन् ।
But human beings are born for trouble just as certainly as sparks from a fire fly upwards.
8 तर मेरो बारेमा, स्वयम् परमेश्वरकहाँ नै म फर्कन्छु । उहाँमा नै म आफ्नो गुनासो समर्पित गर्छु—
If it were me, I would go to God and put my case before him.
9 महान् अनि अगम्य कुराहरू गर्नुहुने, अनगिन्ती उदेकका कामहरू गर्नुहुने उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
He is the one who does amazing, incredible things; miracles that can't be counted!
10 उहाँले पृथ्वीमा वृष्टि दिनुहुन्छ, र खेतबारीमा पानी पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields.
11 नम्रहरूलाई उच्च स्थानमा राख्नलाई अनि शोक गर्नेहरूलाई सुरक्षित उचाल्नलाई उहाँले यसो गर्नुहुन्छ ।
He exalts the humble, and rescues those who mourn.
12 धूर्त मानिसहरूका हातले सफलता नपाओस् भनेर, उहाँले तिनीहरूका योजनाहरूलाई विफल तुल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
He frustrates the plans of the cunning so that they are unsuccessful.
13 उहाँले बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका आफ्नै धूर्त कामहरूमा पासोमा पार्नुहुन्छ । टेडा मानिसहरूका योजनाहरू अन्त्यको लागि हतारिन्छन् ।
He traps the wise in their own clever thinking, and the schemes of twisted people are cut short.
14 तिनीहरूले दिउँसै अन्धकार भेट्टाउँछन्, अनि मध्यदिनमा पनि रातमा झैं छामेर हिंड्छन् ।
In the daytime they're in the dark, and they stumble around at noon like it's night.
15 तर उहाँले गरिबहरूलाई तिनीहरूको मुखमा भएको तरवारदेखि र खाँचोमा परेकालाई शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूको हातबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
But God is the one who saves from their cutting remarks, and the poor from the actions of the powerful.
16 त्यसैले गरिब मानिसको आशा छ, र अन्यायले त्यसको आफ्नै मुख बन्द गर्छ ।
As a result those who are helpless have hope, and the wicked have to shut their mouths!
17 हेर, त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो, जसलाई परमेश्वरले सुधार्नुहुन्छ । त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान्को ताडनालाई इन्कार नगर ।
See how happy is the person God corrects—so don't despise the Almighty's discipline.
18 किनकि उहाँले चोट पुर्याउनुहुन्छ, र पट्टी बाँध्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले चोट पुर्याउनुहुन्छ र आफ्नै हातले निको पार्नुहुन्छ ।
For he causes pain but he provides relief; he wounds but his hands heal.
19 उहाँले तपाईंलाई छवटा कष्टबाट छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ । वास्तवमा सातौं कष्टमा पनि कुनै दुष्ट्याइँले तपाईंलाई छुँदैन ।
He will save you from many disasters; a multitude of evils will not affect you.
20 अनिकालको समयमा मृत्युबाट मोल तिरेर, र युद्धमा तरवारको हातबाट उहाँले तपाईंलाई छुटाउनुहुनेछ ।
In times of famine he will rescue you from death, and in times of war he will save you from the power of the sword.
21 झूट बोल्ने जिब्रोको कोर्राबाट तपाईंलाई लुकाइनेछ, र जब विनाश आउँछ, तब तपाईं त्यसबाट डराउनुहुनेछैन ।
You will be protected from sharp-tongued slander; and when violence comes you will not be afraid.
22 विनाश र अनिकाल देखेर तपाईं हास्नुहुनेछ, अनि पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरूदेखि तपाईं डराउनुहुनेछैनौ ।
You will laugh at violence and famine; you won't be afraid of wild animals—
23 किनकि तपाईंको खेतमा भएका ढुङ्गाहरूसित तपाईंले करार बाँध्नुहुनेछ, र वनका पशुहरू तपाईंसित मिलापमा रहनेछन् ।
for you will be at peace with the stones of the field and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
24 तपाईंको पाल सुरक्षित छ भनी तपाईंले जान्नुहुनेछ । तपाईं आफ्नो भेडी-गोठ हेर्न जानुहुनेछ र एउटा पनि नहराएको तपाईंले पाउनुहुनेछैन ।
You will be certain that your home is safe, for you will go to where you live and find nothing missing.
25 तपाईंले यो जान्नुहुनेछ, तपाईंको सन्तान महान् हुनेछ, तपाईंका छोराछोरी जमिनको घाँसझैं हुनेछन् ।
You will also be sure that you will have many children; your descendants will be like the grass of the earth.
26 तपाईं आफ्नो चिहानमा पूरा बढो भएर आउनुहुनेछ । जसरी आफ्नो समयमा अन्नका मुट्ठाहरूको चाङ हुनेछ ।
You will live to a ripe old age like a sheaf of grain when it is harvested.
27 हेर्नुहोस्, हामीले यस विषयलाई जाँच गरेका छौं । यो यस्तो छ । यसलाई सुन्नुहोस् र आफ्नै निम्ति यसलाई चिन्नुहोस् ।”
Look, we've examined it, and it's true! Listen to what I'm saying and apply it to yourself!”
