1 अहिले बोलाउनुहोस् । तपाईंलाई जवाफ दिने कुनै व्‍यक्‍ति छ? पवित्र मानिसहरूमध्‍ये कुनतिर तपाईं फर्कनुहुनेछ?
"Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 किनकि मूर्ख मानिसलाई रिसले मार्छ। सजिलै छलमा पर्नेलाई ईर्ष्याले मार्छ ।
For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.
3 मूर्ख व्यक्तिले जरा गाडेको मैले देखेको छु, तर मैले एक्‍कासि त्यसको घरलाई सराप दिएँ ।
I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 त्यसका छोराछोरी बिल्‍कुलै सुरक्षित छैनन् । तिनीहरू सहरको मूल ढोकामा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिएका छन् । तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने कोही छैन ।
His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,
5 भोकाएकाहरूले आफ्नो फसल खान्छन् । तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई काँढाहरूका बिचबाट पनि बटुल्छन् । तिर्खाएकाहरूले आफ्‍नो धन-सम्पत्तिको तृष्णा गर्छन् ।
whose harvest the hungry eats up, and take it even out of the thorns. And the thirsty swallow up their wealth.
6 किनकि कठिनाइ माटोबाट आउँदैन । न त भुइँबाट समस्‍या उम्रन्छ ।
For affliction doesn't come forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
7 बरु, मानव-जाति कष्‍टकै लागि जन्मन्छन्, जसरी आगोको झिल्काहरू माथि उड्छन् ।
but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 तर मेरो बारेमा, स्‍वयम् परमेश्‍वरकहाँ नै म फर्कन्छु । उहाँमा नै म आफ्‍नो गुनासो समर्पित गर्छु—
"But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,
9 महान् अनि अगम्‍य कुराहरू गर्नुहुने, अनगिन्ती उदेकका कामहरू गर्नुहुने उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
who does great things that can't be fathomed, marvelous things without number;
10 उहाँले पृथ्वीमा वृष्‍टि दिनुहुन्छ, र खेतबारीमा पानी पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;
11 नम्रहरूलाई उच्‍च स्‍थानमा राख्‍नलाई अनि शोक गर्नेहरूलाई सुरक्षित उचाल्‍नलाई उहाँले यसो गर्नुहुन्छ ।
so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.
12 धूर्त मानिसहरूका हातले सफलता नपाओस् भनेर, उहाँले तिनीहरूका योजनाहरूलाई विफल तुल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise.
13 उहाँले बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका आफ्नै धूर्त कामहरूमा पासोमा पार्नुहुन्छ । टेडा मानिसहरूका योजनाहरू अन्त्यको लागि हतारिन्छन् ।
He traps the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning are brought to a quick end.
14 तिनीहरूले दिउँसै अन्धकार भेट्टाउँछन्, अनि मध्यदिनमा पनि रातमा झैं छामेर हिंड्छन् ।
They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15 तर उहाँले गरिबहरूलाई तिनीहरूको मुखमा भएको तरवारदेखि र खाँचोमा परेकालाई शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूको हातबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
16 त्यसैले गरिब मानिसको आशा छ, र अन्यायले त्यसको आफ्नै मुख बन्द गर्छ ।
So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
17 हेर, त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो, जसलाई परमेश्‍वरले सुधार्नुहुन्छ । त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को ताडनालाई इन्कार नगर ।
"Look, blessed is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of Shaddai.
18 किनकि उहाँले चोट पुर्‍याउनुहुन्छ, र पट्टी बाँध्‍नुहुन्छ । उहाँले चोट पुर्‍याउनुहुन्छ र आफ्‍नै हातले निको पार्नुहुन्‍छ ।
For he wounds, and binds up. He injures, and his hands make whole.
19 उहाँले तपाईंलाई छवटा कष्‍टबाट छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ । वास्तवमा सातौं कष्‍टमा पनि कुनै दुष्‍ट्याइँले तपाईंलाई छुँदैन ।
He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
20 अनिकालको समयमा मृत्युबाट मोल तिरेर, र युद्धमा तरवारको हातबाट उहाँले तपाईंलाई छुटाउनुहुनेछ ।
In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword.
21 झूट बोल्‍ने जिब्रोको कोर्राबाट तपाईंलाई लुकाइनेछ, र जब विनाश आउँछ, तब तपाईं त्‍यसबाट डराउनुहुनेछैन ।
You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 विनाश र अनिकाल देखेर तपाईं हास्‍नुहुनेछ, अनि पृथ्‍वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरूदेखि तपाईं डराउनुहुनेछैनौ ।
At destruction and famine you shall laugh, neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
23 किनकि तपाईंको खेतमा भएका ढुङ्गाहरूसित तपाईंले करार बाँध्‍नुहुनेछ, र वनका पशुहरू तपाईंसित मिलापमा रहनेछन् ।
For you shall be in league with the stones of the field. The animals of the field shall 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 shall know that your tent is in peace. You shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing.
25 तपाईंले यो जान्‍नुहुनेछ, तपाईंको सन्तान महान् हुनेछ, तपाईंका छोराछोरी जमिनको घाँसझैं हुनेछन् ।
You shall know also that your descendants shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 तपाईं आफ्‍नो चिहानमा पूरा बढो भएर आउनुहुनेछ । जसरी आफ्नो समयमा अन्‍नका मुट्ठाहरूको चाङ हुनेछ ।
You shall come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
27 हेर्नुहोस्, हामीले यस विषयलाई जाँच गरेका छौं । यो यस्‍तो छ । यसलाई सुन्‍नुहोस् र आफ्‍नै निम्‍ति यसलाई चिन्‍नुहोस् ।”
Look this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know it for your good."
