< Job 40 >

1
परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित निरन्‍तर बोल्‍नुभयो । उहाँले यसो भन्‍नुभयो,
2 Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.
“आलोचना गर्न चाहनेले सर्वशक्तिमान्‌लाई सुधार्ने कोसिस गर्नुपर्छ र? जसले परमेश्‍वरसित विवाद गर्छ, त्‍यसले जवाफ देओस् ।”
3 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
तब अय्यूबले परमेश्‍वरलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
4 Truly, I am of no value; what answer may I give to you? I will put my hand on my mouth.
“हेर्नुहोस्, म नगण्य छु । मैले तपाईंलाई कसरी जवाफ दिन सक्छु र? म आफ्‍नो हातलाई आफ्‍नो मुखमा राख्छु ।
5 I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again.
मैले एकपल्‍ट बोलें, अनि म अब जवाफ दिने छैनँ । वास्तवमा दुई पकट बोलें, तर म अरू अगाडि बढनेछैनँ ।”
6 Then the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind, and said,
तब परमप्रभुले प्रचण्ड आँधीबाट अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो,
7 Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
“अब एक जना मानिसले झैं आफ्नो कम्मर कस्, किनकि म तँलाई प्रश्नहरू सोध्‍नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनैपर्छ ।
8 Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right?
के म अन्यायी छु भनेर तँ साँच्‍चै भन्‍छस्? तैंले आफू ठिक छु भनी दाबी गर्नलाई तँ मलाई दोष लगाउँछस्?
9 Have you an arm like God? have you a voice of thunder like his?
के तँसँग परमेश्‍वरको जस्तो पाखुरा छ? के तँ उहाँको जस्तो आवाजले गर्जन सक्छस्?
10 Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power:
अब महिमा र इज्‍जतले आफैलाई सुसज्‍जित पार । आदर र ऐश्‍वर्यले आफैलाई सुसोभित पार ।
11 Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low.
तेरो रिसको झोँक छरपष्‍ट पार् । हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् ।
12 Send destruction on all who are lifted up, pulling down the sinners from their places.
हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् । दुष्‍ट मानिसहरू खडा भएकै ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई कुल्‍ची ।
13 Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.
तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ जमिनमा गाडिदे । तिनीहरूका अनुरहरूलाई लुकाइएको ठाउँमा कैद गर् ।
14 Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation.
तब तेरो दाहिने हातले तँलाई बचाउन सक्दोरहेछ, भनेर म तेरो विषयमा स्वीकार गर्नेछु ।
15 See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox.
अब मैले तँलाई बनाउँदा बनाएको बहेमोथलाई विचार गर् । एउटा गोरुले झैं त्यसले घाँस खान्छ ।
16 His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach.
हेर्, त्यसको बल त्यसको कम्मरमा हुन्छ । त्यसको शक्ति त्यसको पेटको मांसपेशीमा हुन्छ ।
17 His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together.
त्यसले आफ्नो पुच्छर देवदारुको रुखझैं बनाउँछ । त्यसको तिघ्राका नसाहरू कसिएका हुन्छन् ।
18 His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron.
त्यसका हड्‍डीहरू काँसाका नलीहरूझैं हुन्छन् । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू फलामका गजबारहरूझैं हुन्छन् ।
19 He is the chief of the ways of God, made by him for his pleasure.
परमेश्‍वरका सृष्‍टिहरूमध्ये त्यो मुख्य हो । त्यसलाई बनाउनुहुने परमेश्‍वरले मात्र त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ ।
20 He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play.
किनकि पहाडहरूले त्यसलाई खानेकुरो जुटाउँछन् । वन-पशुहरू त्यसकै नजिक खेल्छन् ।
21 He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants.
कमलको फुलमुनि त्‍यो लुकेर बस्‍छ । निगालोको झाडीको छाया र सिमसारहरूमा त्यो लुक्छ ।
22 He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him.
कमलको फुलको छायाले त्‍यसलाई ढाक्‍छ । खोलाका लहरे-पीपलहरूले त्यसलाई चारैतिर घेर्छ ।
23 Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.
नदीको बाडी उर्लेर किनारमा आयो भने त्यो काँप्दैन । यर्दन नदी नै उर्लेर आई त्यसको मुखमा पस्‍यो भने पनि त्यो निर्धक्‍क हुन्छ ।
24 Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose?
के कसैले त्यसलाई बल्छीले पक्रन सक्छ? अथवा पासो थापेर त्यसको नाक छेड्न सक्छ?
