अय्यूब 8
1 तब बिल्दाद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,
2 “तपाईं कहिलेसम्म यी कुरा भन्नुहुन्छ? कहिलेसम्म तपाईंको मुखका वचन शक्तिशाली बतास हुनेछन्?
“How much longer will you go on talking like this? The words coming out of your mouth are a lot of hot air!
3 के परमेश्वरले न्यायमा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र? के सर्वशक्तिमान्ले धार्मिकतामा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र?
Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4 तपाईंका छोराछोरीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छन् । हामी यो जान्दछौं, किनकि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै पापमा मर्न दिनुभयो ।
Your children must have sinned against him, and so they deserved the punishment he inflicted on them.
5 तर मानौँ, तपाईंले परमेश्वरलाई बडो मेहनत गरेर खोज्नुभयो, अनि आफ्नो बिन्ती सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई चढाउनुभयो ।
But if you pray to God and ask for his help,
6 तपाईं शुद्ध र सोझो हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँले निश्चय पनि तपाईंको पक्ष लिनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंको उचित स्थानमा तपाईंलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुहुन्छ ।
if you live a clean life and do what is right, then he would act to make things right for you in your home.
7 तपाईंको सुरुआत् सानो भए तापनि, तपाईंको आखिरी अवस्था महान् हुन्छ ।
Though you began with next to nothing, you will end up with so much!
8 कृपया पहिलेका पुस्ताहरूलाई सोध्नुहोस्, र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले सिकेका कुरामा आफ्नो ध्यान लगाउनुहोस् ।
Why don't you ask what previous generations discovered, examine what our ancestors found out? We were born yesterday and don't know anything!
9 (हामी हिजो मात्र जन्मियौं र हामी केही जन्दैनौं, किनकि पृथ्वीमा हाम्रा दिनहरू छाया मात्र हो ।)
Our days on earth fade as quickly as a passing shadow.
10 के तिनले तपाईंलाई सिकाउने र भन्ने छैनन् र? के तिनले आफ्ना हृदयहरूबाट वचन बोल्ने छैनन्?
Won't they teach you and explain what they know?
11 के दलदल नभएको ठाउँमा नर्कट उम्रन्छ? के पानीविना निगालाहरू बढ्छन्?
Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Can reeds grow without water?
12 ती अझै हरिया छँदै र नकाटकै बेलामा, अरू कुनै बिरुवाभन्दा पहिले नै ती सुक्छन् ।
Even without being cut, while they are still flowering, they wither faster than grass.
13 परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सनेहरू सबैका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छन् । ईश्वरहीनको आशा नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
This is what happens to everyone who forgets God. The hopes of those who live without God come to nothing.
14 उसको दृढता टुक्राटुक्रा हुनेछन्, र उसको भरोसा माकुरोको जालझैं कमजोर हुन्छ ।
Their confidence is like holding on to a flimsy spider's web.
15 ऊ आफ्नो घरमा अडेल लग्छ, तर त्यसले उसलाई थाम्दैन । उसले त्यसमा समात्छ, तर यो अडिंदैन ।
They look to their home to provide security, but it provides no support. They try to hang onto it, but it doesn't last.
16 घामको मुनि त्यो हरियो हुन्छ, र त्यसका पालुवाहरू त्यसको सारा बगैँचामा फैलिन्छ ।
Those who live without God are like a luxuriant plant growing in the sun, spreading its shoots all over the garden.
17 त्यसका जराहरू ढुङ्गाको थुप्रो वरिपरि बेरिन्छन् । तिनले चट्टानहरूका बिचमा राम्रा ठाउँहरू खोज्छन् ।
It twists its roots down through the stones, and holds on to rock.
18 तर यो व्यक्ति आफ्नो ठाउँ बाहिर नष्ट भयो भने, तब त्यो ठाउँले उसलाई इन्कार गर्नेछ र भन्नेछ, 'मैले तँलाई कहिल्यै देखिनँ ।'
But when it's cut down, the place where it was disowns it, saying, ‘I never even saw you.’
19 हेर्नुहोस्, त्यस्तो व्यक्तिको व्यवहारको 'आनन्द' यही हो । त्यसको ठाउँमा उही माटोबाट अन्य बिरुवाहरू उम्रनेछन् ।
Its life is over, and others spring up from the earth to take its place.
20 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले निर्दोष मानिसलाई फाल्नुहुन्न, न त उहाँले दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूका हातलाई मदत गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Look, God doesn't reject someone who is innocent, and he doesn't support those who are guilty.
21 तर पनि उहाँले तपाईंको मुखमा हाँसो, र तपाईंको ओठमा आनन्दको सोरले भर्नुहुनेछ ।
He can make you laugh with happiness again and shout for joy.
22 तपाईंलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू लाजले ढाकिनेछन् । दुष्टको पाल फेरि रहनेछैन ।”
Those who hate you will be put to shame, and the place where the wicked live will be destroyed.”
