< अय्यूब 33 >

1 त्यसैले अब, हे अय्यूब, मेरो कुरा सुन्‍न म तपाईंसित बिन्ती गर्छु, मेरा सबै शब्‍दहरू सुन्‍नुहोस् ।
So now, Job, I beg you, hear my speech; listen to all my words.
2 हेर्नुहोस्, अब मैले आफ्‍नो मुख खोलेको छु । मेरो जिब्रोले मेरो मुखमा बोलेको छ ।
See now, I have opened my mouth; my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 मेरा वचनहरू मेरो हृदयको सोझोपनबाट आउँछन् । मेरो ओठले शुद्ध ज्ञान बोल्‍छ ।
My words come from the uprightness of my heart; my lips speak pure knowledge.
4 परमेश्‍वरका पवित्र आत्माले मलाई बनाउनुभएको छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को सासले मलाई जीवन दिएको छ ।
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
5 तपाईं सक्‍नुहुन्छ भने मलाई जवाफ दिनुहोस् । आफ्‍ना बहसहरू मेरो सामु क्रमैसित राख्‍नुहोस्, र खडा हुनुहोस् ।
If you can, answer me; set your words in order before me and stand up.
6 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा तपाईं जस्तो हुनुहुन्‍छ म पनि त्‍यस्‍तै हुँ । म पनि माटैबाट रचना गरिएको हुँ ।
See, I am just as you are in God's sight; I also have been formed out of the clay.
7 हेर्नुहोस्, मेरो डरले तपाईंलाई त्रसित नपारोस्, न त मेरो बोझ तपाईंलाई गह्रौं होस् ।
See, terror of me will not make you afraid; neither will my pressure be heavy upon you.
8 तपाईंले निश्‍चय पनि मैले सुन्‍ने गरी बोल्नुभएको छ । तपाईंका वचनहरूका आवाजले यसो भनेको मैले सुनेको छु,
You have certainly spoken in my hearing; I have heard the sound of your words saying,
9 'म शुद्ध र अपराधरहित छु । म निर्दोष छु, र ममा कुनै पाप छैन ।
'I am clean and without transgression; I am innocent, and there is no sin in me.
10 परमेश्‍वरले मलाई आक्रमण गर्ने मौकाहरू खोज्‍नुहुन्‍छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो शत्रु ठान्‍नुहुन्छ ।
See, God finds opportunities to attack me; he regards me as his enemy.
11 उहाँले मेरो खुट्टा ठिंगुरोमा हाल्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले मेरा सबै मार्ग नियालेर हेर्नुहुन्छ ।'
He puts my feet in stocks; he watches all my paths.'
12 हेर्नुहोस्, यो कुरोमा तपाईं ठिक हुनुहुन्‍न— म तपाईंलाई जवाफ दिन्छु, किनकि परमेश्‍वर मानिसभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ ।
See, in this you are not right—I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
13 उहाँको विरुद्धमा तपाईं किन सङ्घर्ष गर्नुहुन्छ? उहाँले त आफ्ना कुनै पनि कामको लेखा दिनुपर्दैन ।
Why do you struggle against him? He does not account for any of his doings.
14 परमेश्‍वरले एक पटक, दुई पटक बोल्नुहुन्छ, तापनि मानिसले त्‍यसको ख्याल गर्दैन ।
For God speaks once— yes, twice, though man does not notice it.
15 राती सपनामा, दर्शनमा, मानिसहरू मस्त निद्रामा पर्दा, ओछ्यानमा सुतेको समयमा,
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumber on the bed—
16 तब परमेश्‍वरले मानिसहरूका कान खोल्‍नुहुन्छ, र तिनीहरूलाई चेतावनीहरूले तर्साउनुहुन्छ,
then God opens the ears of men, and frightens them with threats,
17 मानिसका पापी उद्देश्यहरूबाट उसलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनलाई, र अहङ्कारलाई ऊबाट टाढा राख्‍नलाई ।
in order to pull man back from his sinful purposes, and keep pride from him.
18 परमेश्‍वरले मानिसको जीवनलाई खाडल पर्नबाट, उसको जीवनलाई मृत्युमा जानबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
God keeps man's life back from the pit, his life from crossing over to death.
19 मानिसलाई ओछ्यानमा हुने पीडा, उसका हड्‍डीहरूमा निरन्तर हुने वेदनाद्वारा पनि उसलाई दण्ड दिइन्छ,
Man is punished also with pain on his bed, with constant agony in his bones,
20 जसको कारणले उसको जीवनले खानेकुरालाई घृणा गर्छ, र उसको प्राणले मिठो भोजनलाई घृणा गर्छ ।
so that his life abhors food, and his soul abhors delicacies.
21 उसको शरीरको मासु नदेखियोस् भनेर त्यो नष्‍ट भएको हुन्छ । पहिले नदेखिने उसका हाडहरू लौरोझैं देखिन्छन् ।
His flesh is consumed away so that it cannot be seen; his bones, once not seen, now stick out.
22 वास्तवमा उसको प्राण मृत्‍युको खाडल नजिक, उसको जीवन उसलाई नष्‍ट गर्न चाहनेहरूकहाँ पुग्छ ।
Indeed, his soul draws close to the pit, his life to those who wish to destroy it.
23 तर के गर्नु ठिक हुन्‍छ भनेर उसलाई देखाउन, उसको निम्‍ति मध्‍यस्‍थकर्ता हुनलाई एउटा स्‍वर्गदूत छन्, हजारौँ स्वर्गदूतहरूका बिचबाट एउटा यस्तो मध्यस्थकर्ता छन्,
But if there is an angel who can be a mediator for him, a mediator, one from among the thousands of angels, to show him what is right to do,
24 र त्यो स्वर्गदूत ऊप्रति दयालु हुन्‍छन् र परमेश्‍वरलाई यसो भन्‍छन् भने, 'य स व्यक्तिलाई मृत्‍युको खाडल जानबाट बचाउनुहोस् । उसलाई छुटकारा दिने मोल म तिर्नेछु,'
and if the angel is kind to him and says to God, 'Save this person from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him,'
25 तब उसको मासु बच्‍चाको भन्दा कलिलो हुन्छ । उसले फेरि आफ्नो युवावस्थाको ताकत पाउनेछ ।
then his flesh will become fresher than a child's; he will return to the days of his youthful strength.
26 उसले परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रार्थना चढाउनेछ, र परमेश्‍वर ऊप्रति दयालु बन्‍नुहुनेछ, ताकि उसले आनन्दले परमेश्‍वरको मुहार हेर्छ । परमेश्‍वरले त्यो व्यक्तिलाई विजय दिनुहुन्‍छ ।
He will pray to God, and God will be kind to him, so that he sees God's face with joy. God will give the person his triumph.
27 तब त्यो व्यक्तिले अरू मानिसहरूको सामु गाउनेछ र यसो भन्‍नेछ, 'मैले पाप गरें, र ठिक कुरालाई बङ्ग्याएँ, तर मेरो पापको दण्ड दिइएन ।
Then that person will sing in front of other people and say, 'I sinned and perverted that which was right, but my sin was not punished.
28 परमेश्‍वरले मेरो प्राणलाई मृत्‍युको खाडलमा जानबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ । मेरो जीवनले निरन्‍तर ज्योति देख्‍नेछ ।'
God has rescued my soul from going down into the pit; my life will continue to see light.'
29 परमेश्‍वरले एक जना व्यक्तिसित यी सबै कुरा, दुई पटक वा तिन पटक पनि गर्नुहुन्छ,
See, God does all these things with a person, twice, yes, even three times,
30 उसको प्राणलाई मृत्‍युको खाडलबाट फर्काउनलाई, जसले गर्दा जीवनको ज्योतिले उसले आफूलाई चम्काउन सकोस् ।
to bring his soul back from the pit, so that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
31 हे अय्यूब, ध्यान दिनुहोस्, र मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । चुप लाग्‍नुहोस्, र म बोल्नेछु ।
Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent and I will speak.
32 तपाईंसित भन्‍नुपर्ने कुनै कुरा छ भने मलाई जवाफ दिनुहोस् । बोल्नुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं ठिक हुनुहुन्छ भनी म प्रमाणित गर्न चाहान्‍छु ।
If you have anything to say, answer me; speak, for I wish to prove that you are in the right.
33 होइन भने, मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । चुप लाग्‍नुहोस्, र म तपाईंलाई बुद्धिका कुरा सिकाउनेछु ।”
If not, then listen to me; remain silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
