< Job 7 >

1 Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?
के मानिसले पृथ्वीमा कठिन परिश्रम गर्दैन र? के उसका दिन ज्यालादारी मानिसका दिनजस्तै हुँदैनन् र?
2 Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?
एउटा दासले उत्‍सुकतासाथ साँझको छायाको इच्छा गरेझैं, एक जना ज्यालादारीले आफ्नो ज्यालाको आशा गर्छ ।
3 So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me.
यसरी मलाई दुःखका महिनाहरू सहन लगाइएको छ । मलाई कष्‍टले भरिएका रातहरू दिइएका छन् ।
4 Whenever I lie down, I say, When [will it be] day? and whenever I rise up, again [I say] when [will it be] evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.
म पल्टिदाँ म आफैलाई भन्छु, 'म कहिले ब्युँझनेछु, र रात कहिले बित्‍नेछ?' मिरमिरे उज्यालो नहुञ्जेल म यताउता छटपटाउँछु ।
5 And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.
मेरो शरीर किराहरू र धूलोको डल्‍लाहरूले ढाकिएको छ । मेरो जीउका खटिरा टन्‍किन्‍छन्, र फुट्‍छन् र पिप बग्‍छन् ।
6 And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.
मेरा दिनहरू सिलाउनेको चक्‍काभन्दा चाँडो बित्छन् । ती आशाविनै बितेर जान्छन् ।
7 Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shall not yet again see good.
हे परमेश्‍वर, मेरो जीवनलाई केवल एक सास सम्झनुहोस् । मेरो आँखाले फेरि असल देख्‍न पाउनेछैन ।
8 The eye of him that sees me shall not see me [again]: your eyes are upon me, and I am no more.
मलाई हेर्ने परमेश्‍वरका आँखाले फेरि मलाई हेर्ने छैन । परमेश्‍वरका आँखा ममाथि हुनेछ, तर मेरो अस्‍तत्‍व हुनेछैन ।
9 [I am] as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again: (Sheol h7585)
जसरी बादल फट्छ र हराएर जान्‍छ, त्यसरी नै चिहानमा जाने फेरि फर्केर आउनेछैन । (Sheol h7585)
10 and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.
ऊ फेरि आफ्नो घरमा फर्कनेछैन, न त उसको ठाउँले फेरि उसलाई चिन्‍नेछ ।
11 Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.
त्यसकारण म आफ्‍नो मुख बन्‍द गर्दिन । म आफ्‍नो आत्माको वेदनामा बोल्नेछु । म आफ्‍नो प्राणको तिक्ततामा गनगन गर्नेछु ।
12 Am I a sea, or a serpent, that you have set a watch over me?
तपाईंले ममाथि रक्षक राख्‍नलाई, के म समुद्र वा समुद्रको राक्षस हुँ र?
13 I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.
जब म भन्‍छु, 'मेरो ओछ्यानले मलाई सान्त्वना दिनेछ, र मेरो खाटले मेरो गुनासोलाई चैन दिन्छ,'
14 You scare me with dreams, and do terrify me with visions.
तब तपाईंले सपनाहरूले मलाई तर्साउनुहुन्छ र दर्शनहरूद्वारा मलाई आतङ्कित पार्नुहुन्छ,
15 You will separate life from my spirit; and yet [keep] my bones from death.
जसले गर्दा मेरा यी हड्‍डीलाई जोगाउनुभन्दा, बरु घाँटी च्‍याप्‍ने कुरा र मृत्युलाई रोज्छु ।
16 For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life [is] vain.
म मेरो जीवनलाई घृणा गर्छु । म सधैँ जिउने इच्छा गर्दिनँ । मलाई एक्‍लै छोडिदिनुहोस्, किनकि मेरा दिनहरू व्‍यर्थ छन् ।
17 For what is man, that you have magnified him? or that you give heed to him?
मानिस के हो र तपाईंले उसको ख्याल राख्‍नुपर्ने, तपाईंले आफ्नो मनलाई उसमा लगाउनुपर्ने,
18 Will you visit him till the morning, and judge him till [the time of] rest?
हरेक बिहान तपाईंले उसको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्ने, हरेक क्षण उसको जाँच गर्नुपर्ने?
19 How long do you not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?
तपाईंले आफ्‍ना आँखा मबाट कहिले हटाउनुहुन्‍छ, आफ्‍नो थुक निल्न मलाई तपाईंले कहिले एक्‍लै छोड्नुहुन्‍छ?
20 If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O you that understand the mind of men? why have you made me as your accuser, and [why] am I a burden to you?
मैले पाप नै गरेको भए पनि, हे मानिसलाई हेर्नुहुने, त्‍यसले तपाईंलाइ के हुन्‍छ त? तपाईंले मलाई किन निसाना बनाउनुभएको छ जसको कारण म तपाईंको लागि बोझ छु?
21 Why have you not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.
किन मेरो अपराध तपाईंले क्षमा गर्नुहुन्‍न र मेरो अधर्म हटाउनुहुन्‍न? अब म धूलोमा पल्टनेछु । तपाईंले मलाई ध्‍यानपूर्वक खोज्नुहुनेछ, तर मेरो अस्‍तित्‍व रहनेछैन ।”
