अय्यूब 9
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Job answered and said,
2 “यो यस्तै हो भनी म साँच्चै जान्दछु । तर एक व्यक्ति कसरी परमेश्वसित ठिक हुन सक्छ?
“I truly know that this is so. But how can a person be in the right with God?
3 उसले परमेश्वरसित तर्क गर्न चाह्यो भने, उसले हजारपल्टमा एकपल्ट पनि जवाफ दिन सक्दैन ।
If he wants to argue with God, he cannot answer him once in a thousand times.
4 परमेश्वर हृदयमा बुद्धिमान् र बलमा शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको विरुद्धमा कसले आफूलाई कहिलै कठोर पारेको अनि सफल भएको छ र?
God is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has ever hardened himself against him and succeeded?—
5 जब उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोधमा पर्वतहरूलाई पल्टाउनुहुन्छ, तब उहाँले कसैलाई चेताउनी नदिइएर ती हटाउनुहुन्छ ।
he who removes the mountains without warning anyone when he overturns them in his anger—
6 उहाँले पृथ्वीलाई यसको आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हल्लाउनुहुन्छ, र यसका टेकाहरूलाई कँपाउनुहुन्छ ।
he who shakes the earth out of its place and sets its supports trembling.
7 उहाँ उही परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले सूर्यलाई नउदाउन भन्नुहुन्छ, र त्यो उदाउँदैन, र जसले ताराहरूलाई ढाक्नुहुन्छ,
It is the same God who tells the sun not to rise, and it does not, and who covers up the stars,
8 जो आफैले आकाशलाई तन्काउनुहुन्छ, र समुद्रका छालहरूलाई कुल्चिनुहुन्छ,
who by himself stretches out the heavens and tramples down the waves of the sea,
9 उहाँले सप्तर्षि, मृगशिरा र किरकिटी ताराहरू र दक्षिणका तारापुञ्जहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
who makes the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the constellations of the south.
10 उहाँले महान् र अगम्य कुराहरू, अनि अनगिन्ती उदेकका कामहरू गर्नुहुन्छ ।
He does great and unsearchable things, and wonderful things that cannot be counted.
11 हेर, उहाँ मेरो छेउबाट जानुहुन्छ, र पनि म उहाँलाई देख्दिनँ । उहाँ आफ्नो बाटो हिंड्नुहुँदा मलाई पत्तै हुँदैन ।
See, he goes by me, and I do not see him; he passes on also, but I do not perceive him.
12 उहाँले कुनै कुरो खोस्नुभयो भने कसले उहाँलाई रोक्न सक्छ? कसले उहाँलाई भन्न सक्छ, 'तपाईं के गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?'
If he takes something away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, 'What are you doing?'
13 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो रिस रोक्नुहुन्न । राहाबका सहयोगीहरू उहाँको मुनि झुक्छन् ।
God will not withdraw his anger; the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.
14 कति थोरै जवाफ मैले उहाँलाई दिन सक्छु, उहाँसित तर्क गर्न म शब्दहरू छान्न सक्छु र?
How much less could I answer him, could I choose words to reason with him?
15 म धर्मी भए तापनि मैले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सक्दिन । मेरा न्यायकर्तासँत मैले कृपाको लागि बिन्ती मात्र चढाउन सक्छु ।
Even if I were righteous, I could not answer him; I could only plead for mercy with my judge.
16 मैले उहाँलाई पुकारेँ, र उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो भने पनि, उहाँले मेरो आवाज सुन्नुभयो भनेर म विश्वास गर्दिनँ ।
Even if I called and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.
17 किनकि उहाँले मलाई आँधीले तोड्नुहुन्छ, र विनाकारण मेरा घाउहरू बढाउनुहुन्छ ।
For he breaks me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 उहाँले मलाई फेरि सास फेर्ने दिनुहुन्न, तर उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भर्नुहुन्छ ।
He does not allow me to regain my breath; but he fills me with bitterness.
19 ताकतको विषय हो भने, उहाँ शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । न्यायको विषय हो भने, कसले उहाँलाई बोलाउन सक्छ?
If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
20 म ठिक भए पनि मेरो आफ्नै मुखले मलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ । र म दोषरहित भए पनि मेरा वचनले मलाई दोषी प्रमाणित गर्छन् ।
Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; and though I am blameless, my words would prove me to be guilty.
21 म दोषरहित छु, तर अब फेरि म आफ्नै बारेमा वास्ता गर्दिनँ । मेरो आफ्नै जीवनलाई म घृणा गर्छु ।
I am blameless, but I do not care any more about myself; I despise my own life.
22 यसले मलाई केही फरक पार्दैन । त्यसैले म भन्छु, उहाँले दोषरहित र दुष्ट मानिसलाई सँगसँगै नष्ट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
It makes no difference, which is why I say that he destroys blameless people and wicked people together.
23 जब कोर्राले अकस्मात् मार्छ, तब उहाँले निर्दोषहरूको निराशाको उपहास गर्नुहुन्छ ।
When a whip suddenly kills, he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 पृथ्वी दुष्ट मानिसको हातमा दिइएको छ । परमेश्वरले यसका न्यायकर्ताहरूका मुहार ढाक्नुहन्छ । यसो गर्ने उहाँ हुनुहुन्न भने त्यो को हो त?
The earth is given into the hand of wicked people; God covers the faces of its judges. If it is not he who does it, then who is it?
25 मेरा दिनहरू कुद्ने दूतभन्दा पनि द्रुत गतिमा दौडन्छन् । मेरा दिनहरू भाग्छन् । तिनले कतै पनि भलो देख्दैनन् ।
My days are swifter than a running messenger; my days flee away; they see no good anywhere.
26 ती निगालोको डुङ्गाजस्तै चाँडो बगेर छन्, र आफ्नो सिकारलाई वेगसित झम्टने चीलझैं छन् ।
They are as fast as papyrus reed boats, and as fast as the eagle that swoops down on its victim.
27 आफ्ना गुनासाहरूको विषयमा म बिर्सन्छु, आफ्नो निराश अनुहार म हटाउँछु र खुसी हुन्छु भनें पनि,
If I said that I would forget about my complaints, that I would take off my sad face and be happy,
28 आफ्ना सबै शोकदेखि म डराउँछु, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुने छैन भनी म जान्दछु ।
I would be afraid of all my sorrows because I know that you will not consider me innocent.
29 म दोषी ठहराइने छु । तब मैले किन व्यर्थैमा कोसिस गर्ने?
I will be condemned; why, then, should I try in vain?
30 आफैलाई मैले हिउँको पानीले धोएँ, र आफ्ना हात अत्यन्तै सफा बनाए पनि,
If I washed myself with snow water and made my hands ever so clean,
31 परमेश्वरले मलाई हिलैमा फाल्नुहुन्छ, र मेरा आफ्नै लुगाहरूले मलाई घृणा गर्छन् ।
God would plunge me in a ditch, and my own clothes would be disgusted with me.
32 किनकि परमेश्वर मजस्तै मानिस हुनुहुन्न, कि म उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सकूँ, वा अदालतमा हामी सँगसँगै आउन सकौं ।
For God is not a man, as I am, that I could answer him, that we could come together in court.
33 हाम्रा बिचमा कुनै न्यायधीश छैन, जसले हामी दुवैमाथि आफ्ना हात पसार्न सक्छ ।
There is no judge between us who might 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 ।
There is no other judge who could take God's rod off me, who could keep his terror from frightening me.
35 तब म बोल्नेछु र उहाँदेखि डराउँदिनँ, तर अहिलेको जस्ता कुराहरू छन्, म त्यसो गर्न सक्दिनँ ।
Then would I speak up and not fear him. But as things are now, I cannot do that.
