< Job 30 >

1 “But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.
अब मभन्दा जवानहरूले मेरो ठट्टा गर्नुबाहेक अरू केही गर्दैनन् । यी जवान मानिसहरूका बुबाहरूलाई आफ्‍नो बगाल रुँग्‍ने कुकुरहरूको छेउमा काम गर्न पनि म इन्कार गर्थें ।
2 Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?
वास्तवमा तिनीहरूका बाबुहरूका हातको ताकतले, अर्थात् तन्‍देरी उमेरको बल नष्‍ट भएका मानिसहरूका ताकतले मलाई कसरी मदत गर्न सक्थ्यो र?
3 They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
गरिबी र भोकले तिनीहरू दुब्‍लो थिए । उजाडस्‍थान र मरुभूमीमा अँध्‍यारोमा सुक्खा भुइँमा तिनीहरू कुटुकुटु टोक्थे ।
4 They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom tree are their food.
तिनीहरूले नुनिलो झार र झाडीका पातहरू उखेल्थे । झ्याउका जराहरू तिनीहरूका खानेकुरा थिए ।
5 They are driven out from among men. They cry after them as after a thief,
तिनीहरू मानिसहरूका बिचबाट खेदिएका थिए, जो चिच्‍च्याउँदै चोरको पछि लागेझैं तिनीहरूको पछि लाग्थे ।
6 so that they live in frightful valleys, and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले नदीका मैदानहरू, जमिन र चट्टानका गुफाहरूमा बस्‍नुपरेको थियो ।
7 They bray among the bushes. They are gathered together under the nettles.
झाडीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू गधझैं कराउँथे, र तिनीहरू झाडीमुनि एकसाथ जम्‍मा हुन्थे ।
8 They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged out of the land.
तिनीहरू मूर्खहरूका छोराहरू थिए, वास्तवमा नाम नभएका मानिसहरूका छोराहरू थिए । कोर्रा लगाएर तिनीहरूलाई देशबाट लखेटियो ।
9 “Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.
तर अहिले म तिनीहरूको गिल्लाको गितको विषय बनेको छु । म तिनीहरूका लागि उखान भएको छु ।
10 They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and do not hesitate to spit in my face.
तिनीहरू मलाई घृणा गर्छन्, र मबाट टाढा रहन्छन् । मेरो मुखमा थुक्‍नबाट तिनीहरू रोकिंदैनन् ।
11 For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.
किनकि परमेश्‍वरले मेरो धनुको डोरी फुकाउनुभएको र मलाई कष्‍ट दिनुभएको छ, अनि मलाई गिल्ला गर्नेहरूले मेरो अनुहारकै सामु आफ्नो रिस पोखाउँछन् ।
12 On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet. They cast their ways of destruction up against me.
मेरो दाहिने हातमा हुल्याहाहरू खडा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई टाढा लखेट्छन् र मेरो विरुद्धमा आफ्‍ना घेरा-मचान बनाउँछन् ।
13 They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.
तिनीहरूले मेरो मार्ग नष्‍ट गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले ममाथि विपत्ति ल्याउँछन्, र ती मानिसहरूलाई रोक्‍ने कोही छैन ।
14 As through a wide breach they come. They roll themselves in amid the ruin.
सहरको पर्खालमा भएको ठुलो प्वालबाट आउने फौजझैं तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा आउँछन् । विनाशको बिचमा तिनीहरू ममाथि लडिबडि खेल्छन् ।
15 Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.
त्रासहरू ममाथि परेका छन् । बतासले उडाएर लगेझैं मेरो आदरलाई लगिएको छ । मेरो समृद्धि बादलझैं बितेर जान्छ ।
16 “Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
अब मेरो जीवन मभित्रै सकिंदैछ । कष्‍टका धेरै दिनहरूले मलाई समातेका छन् ।
17 In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.
रातमा मभित्र भएका हड्‍डीहरूले मलाई घोच्‍छन् । मलाई सताउने मेरा पीडाले आराम लिंदैनन् ।
18 My garment is disfigured by great force. It binds me about as the collar of my tunic.
परमेश्‍वरको महान् शक्तिले मेरो वस्‍त्र समातेको छ । मेरो कमीजको कठालोझैं यसले मेरो चारैतिर बेर्छ ।
19 He has cast me into the mire. I have become like dust and ashes.
उहाँले मलाई हिलोमा फाल्‍नुभएको छ । म धूलो र खरानीझैं भएको छु ।
20 I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.
हे परमेश्‍वर, म तपाईंमा पुकार्छु, तर तपाईंले मलाई जवाफ दिनुहुन्‍न । म खडा हुन्छु, तर तपाईंले हेर्नु मात्र हुन्छ ।
21 You have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of your hand you persecute me.
तपाईं बद्लिनुभएको छ र मप्रति क्रुर बन्‍नुभएको छ । आफ्नो हातको ताकतले तपाईंले मलाई सताउनुहुन्छ ।
22 You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.
तपाईंले मलाई बतासमा उचाल्‍नुहुन्छ र त्‍यसले मलाई उडाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई आँधीमा यताउता हुत्‍याउनुहुन्छ ।
23 For I know that you will bring me to death, to the house appointed for all living.
किनकि म जान्‍दछु, कि तपाईंले मलाई मृत्युमा पुर्‍याउनुहुन्‍छ, सबै जीवितहरूका लागि नियुक्त गरिएको घरमा लानुहुन्‍छ ।
24 “However does not one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
तापनि जब कोही लड्छ, तब के त्यसले मदतको लागि आफ्नो हात उठाउँदैन र? के सङ्कष्‍टमा भएको कसैले पनि मदतको लागि पुकार्दैन र?
25 Did not I weep for him who was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
कष्‍टमा भएको व्यक्तिको लागि म रोइनँ र? खाँचोमा परेको मानिसको लागि मैले शोक गरिनँ र?
26 When I looked for good, then evil came. When I waited for light, darkness came.
जब मैले भलाइको आशा गरें, तब खराबी आयो । जब मैले ज्योतिको आशा गरें, त्‍यसको साटो अन्धकार आयो ।
27 My heart is troubled, and does not rest. Days of affliction have come on me.
मेरो हृदय कष्‍टमा छ र यसले विश्राम लिंदैन । कष्‍टका दिनहरू ममाथि आएका छन् ।
28 I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
अन्धकारमा बसिरहेको मानिसझैं म हिंडेको छ, तर सूर्यको कारणले होइन । म सभामा खडा हुन्छु र मदतको लागि पुकार्छु ।
29 I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.
म स्यालहरूको भाइ, अस्ट्रिचहरूको मित्र भएको छु ।
30 My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.
मेरो छाला कालो छ, र पत्रै-पत्र भएर झर्छ । मेरा हड्‍डीहरू रापले जलेका छन् ।
31 Therefore my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
त्यसकारण मेरो वीणाले शोकका गीतहरू गाउँछ, र मेरो बाँसुरीले रुनेहरूको निम्ति गाउँछ ।
