अय्यूब 8
1 तब बिल्दाद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
But Baldad the Suhite, responding, said:
2 “तपाईं कहिलेसम्म यी कुरा भन्नुहुन्छ? कहिलेसम्म तपाईंको मुखका वचन शक्तिशाली बतास हुनेछन्?
How long will you speak this way, so that the words of your mouth are like a changeable wind?
3 के परमेश्वरले न्यायमा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र? के सर्वशक्तिमान्ले धार्मिकतामा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र?
Does God supplant judgment, or does the Almighty subvert that which is just?
4 तपाईंका छोराछोरीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छन् । हामी यो जान्दछौं, किनकि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै पापमा मर्न दिनुभयो ।
And if now your children have sinned against him, and he has dismissed them into the power of their iniquity,
5 तर मानौँ, तपाईंले परमेश्वरलाई बडो मेहनत गरेर खोज्नुभयो, अनि आफ्नो बिन्ती सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई चढाउनुभयो ।
even so, you should arise early to God, so as to beseech the Almighty.
6 तपाईं शुद्ध र सोझो हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँले निश्चय पनि तपाईंको पक्ष लिनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंको उचित स्थानमा तपाईंलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुहुन्छ ।
If you approach with purity and honesty, he will quickly be attentive to you, and a peaceful life will repay your righteousness,
7 तपाईंको सुरुआत् सानो भए तापनि, तपाईंको आखिरी अवस्था महान् हुन्छ ।
so much so that, if your former things were small, your latter things would be multiplied greatly.
8 कृपया पहिलेका पुस्ताहरूलाई सोध्नुहोस्, र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले सिकेका कुरामा आफ्नो ध्यान लगाउनुहोस् ।
For inquire of the earliest generation, and investigate diligently the history of the fathers,
9 (हामी हिजो मात्र जन्मियौं र हामी केही जन्दैनौं, किनकि पृथ्वीमा हाम्रा दिनहरू छाया मात्र हो ।)
(of course, we are but of yesterday and are ignorant that our days on earth are like a shadow, )
10 के तिनले तपाईंलाई सिकाउने र भन्ने छैनन् र? के तिनले आफ्ना हृदयहरूबाट वचन बोल्ने छैनन्?
and they will teach you; they will speak with you and will offer you the eloquence of their hearts.
11 के दलदल नभएको ठाउँमा नर्कट उम्रन्छ? के पानीविना निगालाहरू बढ्छन्?
Can the marsh plant live without moisture? Or can sedges grow without water?
12 ती अझै हरिया छँदै र नकाटकै बेलामा, अरू कुनै बिरुवाभन्दा पहिले नै ती सुक्छन् ।
When it is still in flower, and has not been pulled up by hand, it withers before all other plants.
13 परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सनेहरू सबैका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छन् । ईश्वरहीनको आशा नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
Just so are the ways of all who forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite will perish.
14 उसको दृढता टुक्राटुक्रा हुनेछन्, र उसको भरोसा माकुरोको जालझैं कमजोर हुन्छ ।
His frenzy will not please him, and his faith will be like a spider’s web.
15 ऊ आफ्नो घरमा अडेल लग्छ, तर त्यसले उसलाई थाम्दैन । उसले त्यसमा समात्छ, तर यो अडिंदैन ।
He will lean on his house, and it will not stand; he will prop it up, but it will not rise.
16 घामको मुनि त्यो हरियो हुन्छ, र त्यसका पालुवाहरू त्यसको सारा बगैँचामा फैलिन्छ ।
He seems to have moisture before the sun arrives; and at sunrise, his sprout shoots forth.
17 त्यसका जराहरू ढुङ्गाको थुप्रो वरिपरि बेरिन्छन् । तिनले चट्टानहरूका बिचमा राम्रा ठाउँहरू खोज्छन् ।
His roots will crowd together over a heap of stones, and among the stones he will remain.
18 तर यो व्यक्ति आफ्नो ठाउँ बाहिर नष्ट भयो भने, तब त्यो ठाउँले उसलाई इन्कार गर्नेछ र भन्नेछ, 'मैले तँलाई कहिल्यै देखिनँ ।'
If someone is devoured right beside him, he will deny him and will say: “I do not know you.”
19 हेर्नुहोस्, त्यस्तो व्यक्तिको व्यवहारको 'आनन्द' यही हो । त्यसको ठाउँमा उही माटोबाट अन्य बिरुवाहरू उम्रनेछन् ।
For this is the benefit of his way, that others in turn may spring up from the earth.
20 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले निर्दोष मानिसलाई फाल्नुहुन्न, न त उहाँले दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूका हातलाई मदत गर्नुहुन्छ ।
God will not discard the simple, nor will he extend his hand to the spiteful,
21 तर पनि उहाँले तपाईंको मुखमा हाँसो, र तपाईंको ओठमा आनन्दको सोरले भर्नुहुनेछ ।
even until your mouth is filled with laughter and your lips with rejoicing.
22 तपाईंलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू लाजले ढाकिनेछन् । दुष्टको पाल फेरि रहनेछैन ।”
Those who hate you, will be clothed with confusion, and the tabernacle of the impious will not continue.
