अय्यूब 8
1 तब बिल्दाद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,
2 “तपाईं कहिलेसम्म यी कुरा भन्नुहुन्छ? कहिलेसम्म तपाईंको मुखका वचन शक्तिशाली बतास हुनेछन्?
How long wilt thou speak these things, [how long shall] the breath of thy mouth [be] abundant in words?
3 के परमेश्वरले न्यायमा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र? के सर्वशक्तिमान्ले धार्मिकतामा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र?
Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice?
4 तपाईंका छोराछोरीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छन् । हामी यो जान्दछौं, किनकि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै पापमा मर्न दिनुभयो ।
If thy sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression.
5 तर मानौँ, तपाईंले परमेश्वरलाई बडो मेहनत गरेर खोज्नुभयो, अनि आफ्नो बिन्ती सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई चढाउनुभयो ।
But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.
6 तपाईं शुद्ध र सोझो हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँले निश्चय पनि तपाईंको पक्ष लिनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंको उचित स्थानमा तपाईंलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुहुन्छ ।
If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, and will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.
7 तपाईंको सुरुआत् सानो भए तापनि, तपाईंको आखिरी अवस्था महान् हुन्छ ।
Though then thy beginning should be small, yet thy end should be unspeakably great.
8 कृपया पहिलेका पुस्ताहरूलाई सोध्नुहोस्, र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले सिकेका कुरामा आफ्नो ध्यान लगाउनुहोस् ।
For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of [our] fathers:
9 (हामी हिजो मात्र जन्मियौं र हामी केही जन्दैनौं, किनकि पृथ्वीमा हाम्रा दिनहरू छाया मात्र हो ।)
(for we are of yesterday, and know nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow: )
10 के तिनले तपाईंलाई सिकाउने र भन्ने छैनन् र? के तिनले आफ्ना हृदयहरूबाट वचन बोल्ने छैनन्?
shall not these teach thee, and report [to thee], and bring out words from [their] heart?
11 के दलदल नभएको ठाउँमा नर्कट उम्रन्छ? के पानीविना निगालाहरू बढ्छन्?
Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture?
12 ती अझै हरिया छँदै र नकाटकै बेलामा, अरू कुनै बिरुवाभन्दा पहिले नै ती सुक्छन् ।
When it is yet on the root, and [though] it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?
13 परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सनेहरू सबैका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छन् । ईश्वरहीनको आशा नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
14 उसको दृढता टुक्राटुक्रा हुनेछन्, र उसको भरोसा माकुरोको जालझैं कमजोर हुन्छ ।
For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web.
15 ऊ आफ्नो घरमा अडेल लग्छ, तर त्यसले उसलाई थाम्दैन । उसले त्यसमा समात्छ, तर यो अडिंदैन ।
If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.
16 घामको मुनि त्यो हरियो हुन्छ, र त्यसका पालुवाहरू त्यसको सारा बगैँचामा फैलिन्छ ।
For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap.
17 त्यसका जराहरू ढुङ्गाको थुप्रो वरिपरि बेरिन्छन् । तिनले चट्टानहरूका बिचमा राम्रा ठाउँहरू खोज्छन् ।
He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the mist of flints.
18 तर यो व्यक्ति आफ्नो ठाउँ बाहिर नष्ट भयो भने, तब त्यो ठाउँले उसलाई इन्कार गर्नेछ र भन्नेछ, 'मैले तँलाई कहिल्यै देखिनँ ।'
If [God] should destroy [him], his place shall deny him. Hast thou not seen such things,
19 हेर्नुहोस्, त्यस्तो व्यक्तिको व्यवहारको 'आनन्द' यही हो । त्यसको ठाउँमा उही माटोबाट अन्य बिरुवाहरू उम्रनेछन् ।
that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow.
20 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले निर्दोष मानिसलाई फाल्नुहुन्न, न त उहाँले दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूका हातलाई मदत गर्नुहुन्छ ।
For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.
21 तर पनि उहाँले तपाईंको मुखमा हाँसो, र तपाईंको ओठमा आनन्दको सोरले भर्नुहुनेछ ।
But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving.
22 तपाईंलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू लाजले ढाकिनेछन् । दुष्टको पाल फेरि रहनेछैन ।”
But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.
