अय्यूब 9
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then answered Job, and said,
2 “यो यस्तै हो भनी म साँच्चै जान्दछु । तर एक व्यक्ति कसरी परमेश्वसित ठिक हुन सक्छ?
Truly I know that it is so: and how could a mortal be righteous before God?
3 उसले परमेश्वरसित तर्क गर्न चाह्यो भने, उसले हजारपल्टमा एकपल्ट पनि जवाफ दिन सक्दैन ।
If he were desirous to enter into a contest with him, he could not give him one answer out of a thousand.
4 परमेश्वर हृदयमा बुद्धिमान् र बलमा शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको विरुद्धमा कसले आफूलाई कहिलै कठोर पारेको अनि सफल भएको छ र?
He is wise of heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and escaped unscathed?
5 जब उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोधमा पर्वतहरूलाई पल्टाउनुहुन्छ, तब उहाँले कसैलाई चेताउनी नदिइएर ती हटाउनुहुन्छ ।
[He it is] who removeth mountains, and they know it not, yea, when he overturneth them in his anger;
6 उहाँले पृथ्वीलाई यसको आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हल्लाउनुहुन्छ, र यसका टेकाहरूलाई कँपाउनुहुन्छ ।
Who shaketh the earth loose out of her place, that her pillars tremble;
7 उहाँ उही परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले सूर्यलाई नउदाउन भन्नुहुन्छ, र त्यो उदाउँदैन, र जसले ताराहरूलाई ढाक्नुहुन्छ,
Who speaketh to the sun, and he shineth not, and around the stars he placeth a seal;
8 जो आफैले आकाशलाई तन्काउनुहुन्छ, र समुद्रका छालहरूलाई कुल्चिनुहुन्छ,
Who spread out the heavens by himself alone, and treadeth upon the hillocks of the sea;
9 उहाँले सप्तर्षि, मृगशिरा र किरकिटी ताराहरू र दक्षिणका तारापुञ्जहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
Who made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers the south;
10 उहाँले महान् र अगम्य कुराहरू, अनि अनगिन्ती उदेकका कामहरू गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Who doth great things which are quite unsearchable, and wonders which are quite without number.
11 हेर, उहाँ मेरो छेउबाट जानुहुन्छ, र पनि म उहाँलाई देख्दिनँ । उहाँ आफ्नो बाटो हिंड्नुहुँदा मलाई पत्तै हुँदैन ।
Lo, were he to go past by me, I should not see him; and were he to pass along, I should not perceive him.
12 उहाँले कुनै कुरो खोस्नुभयो भने कसले उहाँलाई रोक्न सक्छ? कसले उहाँलाई भन्न सक्छ, 'तपाईं के गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?'
Behold, were he to snatch aught away, who could hold him back? who would say unto him, What dost thou?
13 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो रिस रोक्नुहुन्न । राहाबका सहयोगीहरू उहाँको मुनि झुक्छन् ।
God will not withdraw his anger: beneath him sink down the helpers of the proud.
14 कति थोरै जवाफ मैले उहाँलाई दिन सक्छु, उहाँसित तर्क गर्न म शब्दहरू छान्न सक्छु र?
How much less then could I answer him, and select my words [to contend] with him?
15 म धर्मी भए तापनि मैले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सक्दिन । मेरा न्यायकर्तासँत मैले कृपाको लागि बिन्ती मात्र चढाउन सक्छु ।
Whom, were I even righteous, I could not answer? to him that condemneth me I could [only] make supplication.
16 मैले उहाँलाई पुकारेँ, र उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो भने पनि, उहाँले मेरो आवाज सुन्नुभयो भनेर म विश्वास गर्दिनँ ।
Or were I to call, and he would answer me, I could yet not believe that he would give ear unto my voice—
17 किनकि उहाँले मलाई आँधीले तोड्नुहुन्छ, र विनाकारण मेरा घाउहरू बढाउनुहुन्छ ।
He that bruiseth me with [his] tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without a cause.
18 उहाँले मलाई फेरि सास फेर्ने दिनुहुन्न, तर उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भर्नुहुन्छ ।
He suffereth me not to recover my breath; but feedeth me overmuch with bitter things.
19 ताकतको विषय हो भने, उहाँ शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । न्यायको विषय हो भने, कसले उहाँलाई बोलाउन सक्छ?
If it regard strength, lo, he is the powerful; and if justice, who will cite him for me to appear?
20 म ठिक भए पनि मेरो आफ्नै मुखले मलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ । र म दोषरहित भए पनि मेरा वचनले मलाई दोषी प्रमाणित गर्छन् ।
If I were righteous even, my own mouth would condemn me: were I innocent, it would still prove me perverse.
21 म दोषरहित छु, तर अब फेरि म आफ्नै बारेमा वास्ता गर्दिनँ । मेरो आफ्नै जीवनलाई म घृणा गर्छु ।
I am innocent; I will not have regard for myself: I will despise my life.
22 यसले मलाई केही फरक पार्दैन । त्यसैले म भन्छु, उहाँले दोषरहित र दुष्ट मानिसलाई सँगसँगै नष्ट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
One thing is [certain], therefore have I said it, The innocent and the wicked he bringeth to their end.
23 जब कोर्राले अकस्मात् मार्छ, तब उहाँले निर्दोषहरूको निराशाको उपहास गर्नुहुन्छ ।
If a scourge should slay suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the guiltless.
24 पृथ्वी दुष्ट मानिसको हातमा दिइएको छ । परमेश्वरले यसका न्यायकर्ताहरूका मुहार ढाक्नुहन्छ । यसो गर्ने उहाँ हुनुहुन्न भने त्यो को हो त?
Is a land given up into the hand of the wicked? he covereth the faces of its judges: if this be not the truth, who is it then?
25 मेरा दिनहरू कुद्ने दूतभन्दा पनि द्रुत गतिमा दौडन्छन् । मेरा दिनहरू भाग्छन् । तिनले कतै पनि भलो देख्दैनन् ।
And my days pass swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no happiness,
26 ती निगालोको डुङ्गाजस्तै चाँडो बगेर छन्, र आफ्नो सिकारलाई वेगसित झम्टने चीलझैं छन् ।
They hasten along like pirate ships: like the eagle that stoopeth down upon his food.
27 आफ्ना गुनासाहरूको विषयमा म बिर्सन्छु, आफ्नो निराश अनुहार म हटाउँछु र खुसी हुन्छु भनें पनि,
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my sorrowful countenance, and recover my cheerfulness:
28 आफ्ना सबै शोकदेखि म डराउँछु, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुने छैन भनी म जान्दछु ।
O then would I be in dread of all my pains; I know that thou wilt not declare me innocent.
29 म दोषी ठहराइने छु । तब मैले किन व्यर्थैमा कोसिस गर्ने?
I must ever be guilty: why then should I fatigue myself for nought?
30 आफैलाई मैले हिउँको पानीले धोएँ, र आफ्ना हात अत्यन्तै सफा बनाए पनि,
If I were to wash myself in snow-water, to cleanse myself in the purity of my hands:
31 परमेश्वरले मलाई हिलैमा फाल्नुहुन्छ, र मेरा आफ्नै लुगाहरूले मलाई घृणा गर्छन् ।
Even then wouldst thou plunge me in the ditch, that my own clothes would render me abhorred.
32 किनकि परमेश्वर मजस्तै मानिस हुनुहुन्न, कि म उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सकूँ, वा अदालतमा हामी सँगसँगै आउन सकौं ।
For he is not a man, like me, that I could answer him, that we should enter together into a contest.
33 हाम्रा बिचमा कुनै न्यायधीश छैन, जसले हामी दुवैमाथि आफ्ना हात पसार्न सक्छ ।
There is no one who can decide between us, who could lay his hand upon us both.
34 अर्को कुनै न्यायाधीश छैन, जसले परमेश्वरको लौरो मबाट हटाउन सक्छ, जसले मलाई भयभीत पार्नबाट उहाँको त्रासलाई रोक्न सक्छ ।
Let him but remove from me his rod, and let not his dread terrify me:
35 तब म बोल्नेछु र उहाँदेखि डराउँदिनँ, तर अहिलेको जस्ता कुराहरू छन्, म त्यसो गर्न सक्दिनँ ।
Then would I speak, and not fear him; for the like I feel not within me.
