< Job 17 >

1 “My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.
मेरो आत्मा नाश पारिएको छ, र मेरो आयु सकिएको छ । चिहान मेरो लागि तयार छ ।
2 Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.
निश्‍चय नै गिल्ला गर्नेहरू मसितै छन् । मेरो आँखाले सधैं तिनीहरूको रिसलाई हेर्नुपर्छ ।
3 “Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
मलाई धरौटी दिनुहोस् । तपाईं आफै मेरो जमानी हुनुहोस् । मलाई मदत गर्नलाई अरू को नै छ र?
4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.
किनकि हे परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयको समझलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसकारण तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुहुन्‍न ।
5 He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.
इनामको लागि जसले आफ्नो मित्रहरूको बदनामी गर्छ, त्यसका छोराछोरीका आँखा कमजोर हुनेछन् ।
6 “But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
तर उहाँले मलाई मानिसहरूको उखान बनाउनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले मेरो मुखैमा थुक्छन् ।
7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.
शोकको कारण मेरो आँखा पनि धमिलो भएको छ । मेरो शरीरका सम्पूर्ण भाग छायाजत्तिकै सुकेका छन् ।
8 Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.
यसले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई अलमलमा पार्नेछन् । निर्दोष मानिसले आफैलाई ईश्‍वरहीन मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा सुर्‍याउनेछ ।
9 Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्नेछ । शुद्ध हात भएकोचाहिं बलियो हुँदै जानेछ ।
10 But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.
तर तिमीहरू सबैले चाहिं फेरि कोसिस गर । तिमीहरूका बिचमा बुद्धिमान् मानिस मैले पाउनेछैनँ ।
11 My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.
मेरा दिन बितिसके । मेरा योजनाहरू चकनाचूर भए, अनि मेरो हृदयको इच्छा पनि त्‍यस्‍तै भयो ।
12 They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.
यी मानिसहरू, यी गिल्ला गर्नेले रातलाई दिनमा बद्लन्‍छन् । उज्यालो अँध्यारको नजिकै छ ।
13 If I look for Sheol (Sheol h7585) as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,
मैले आशा गरेको घर पाताल मात्र हो भने, र अन्धकारमा मेरो ओछ्यान मैले बनाएको छु भने, (Sheol h7585)
14 if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
र मैले खाडललाई, 'तँ मेरो बुबा हो,' अनि किरालाई 'तँ मेरी आमा वा बहिनी' हो भनेको छु भने,
15 where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?
तब मेरो आशा खोइ त? कसले मेरो निम्ति कुनै आशा देख्‍न सक्‍छ र?
16 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol (Sheol h7585), or descend together into the dust?"
जब हामी धूलोमा फर्कन्‍छौं, तब के मसँगै आशा पनि पातालका ढोकाहरूमा जानेछ र? (Sheol h7585)
