< Job 17 >
1 My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
मेरो आत्मा नाश पारिएको छ, र मेरो आयु सकिएको छ । चिहान मेरो लागि तयार छ ।
2 I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
निश्चय नै गिल्ला गर्नेहरू मसितै छन् । मेरो आँखाले सधैं तिनीहरूको रिसलाई हेर्नुपर्छ ।
3 Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.
मलाई धरौटी दिनुहोस् । तपाईं आफै मेरो जमानी हुनुहोस् । मलाई मदत गर्नलाई अरू को नै छ र?
4 Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
किनकि हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयको समझलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसकारण तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुहुन्न ।
5 He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.
इनामको लागि जसले आफ्नो मित्रहरूको बदनामी गर्छ, त्यसका छोराछोरीका आँखा कमजोर हुनेछन् ।
6 He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
तर उहाँले मलाई मानिसहरूको उखान बनाउनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले मेरो मुखैमा थुक्छन् ।
7 My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
शोकको कारण मेरो आँखा पनि धमिलो भएको छ । मेरो शरीरका सम्पूर्ण भाग छायाजत्तिकै सुकेका छन् ।
8 The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
यसले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई अलमलमा पार्नेछन् । निर्दोष मानिसले आफैलाई ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा सुर्याउनेछ ।
9 And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्नेछ । शुद्ध हात भएकोचाहिं बलियो हुँदै जानेछ ।
10 Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
तर तिमीहरू सबैले चाहिं फेरि कोसिस गर । तिमीहरूका बिचमा बुद्धिमान् मानिस मैले पाउनेछैनँ ।
11 My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
मेरा दिन बितिसके । मेरा योजनाहरू चकनाचूर भए, अनि मेरो हृदयको इच्छा पनि त्यस्तै भयो ।
12 They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.
यी मानिसहरू, यी गिल्ला गर्नेले रातलाई दिनमा बद्लन्छन् । उज्यालो अँध्यारको नजिकै छ ।
13 If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness. (Sheol )
मैले आशा गरेको घर पाताल मात्र हो भने, र अन्धकारमा मेरो ओछ्यान मैले बनाएको छु भने, (Sheol )
14 If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, 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 is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
तब मेरो आशा खोइ त? कसले मेरो निम्ति कुनै आशा देख्न सक्छ र?
16 All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest? (Sheol )
जब हामी धूलोमा फर्कन्छौं, तब के मसँगै आशा पनि पातालका ढोकाहरूमा जानेछ र? (Sheol )
