Job 23
1 Then answered Job, and said,
तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
2 Even now is my complaint bitter: my suffering is heavier than my groans.
“आज पनि मेरो गुनासो तितो छ । मेरो क्रन्दनको कारणले मेरो हात गह्रौं भएको छ ।
3 Oh who would grant that I knew where I might find him! that I might attain to his Judgment throne!
ओहो, उहाँलाई मैले कहाँ भेट्न सक्छु भनी मैले जानेको भए! ओहो, म उहाँको बासस्थानमा गएको भए!
4 I would put in order before him my cause, and my mouth would I fill with arguments.
उहाँको सामु म आफ्नो मुद्दालाई क्रमैसित राख्नेथिएँ, अनि मेरो मुखलाई तर्कले भर्नेथिएँ ।
5 I should know the words which he might answer me, and understand what he might say unto me.
उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिएर भन्नुहुने वचनहरू म सिक्नेथिएँ, र उहाँले मलाई भन्नुहुने कुरा बुझ्नेथिएँ ।
6 Would he with his power contend against me? he would truly not lay such doings to my charge.
उहाँले आफ्नो शक्तिको महान्तामा मेरो विरुद्धमा तर्क गर्नुहुन्छ? अहँ, बरु उहाँले मेरो कुरामा ध्यान दिनुहुन्छ ।
7 There would an upright one argue with him; and I should be allowed to escape for ever by my judge.
त्यहाँ सोझाहरूले उहाँसित बहस गर्न सक्छन् । यसरी मेरा न्यायकर्ताले मलाई सधैंभरि निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुन्थ्यो ।
8 But, lo, I go eastward—and he is not there; and to the west— and I cannot perceive him;
हेर्नुहोस्, म पूर्वतिर जान्छु, उहाँ त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्न, अनि पश्चिमतिर जान्छु, तर म उहाँलाई भेट्न सक्दिन ।
9 When he doth great things at the north, I behold him not; he hideth himself in the south—and I see him not.
उत्तरमा, जहाँ उहाँले काम गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, तर म उहाँलाई देख्न सक्दिनँ, र दक्षिणमा जहाँ उहाँले आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ, जसले गर्दा म उहाँलाई देख्न सक्दिनँ ।
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: were he to probe me, I should come forth as gold.
तर म हिंड्ने बाटो उहाँलाई थाहा छ । जब उहाँले मलाई जाँच्नुहुन्छ, तब म खारिएको सुनझैं हुनेछु ।
11 On his steps my foot hath held fast: his way have I kept, and swerved not.
मेरो खुट्टाले उहाँका पाइला पक्का गरी पछ्याएको छ । म उहाँको मार्गमा हिंडेको छु, र यताउता फर्केको छैनँ ।
12 From the commandment of his lips have I also not moved away: as a fixed statute for me have I treasured up the sayings of his mouth.
उहाँको मुखबाट निस्केको आज्ञाबाट म फर्केको छैनँ । मेरो खानाको भागभन्दा बढी मैले उहाँको मुखका वचनहरूलाई सञ्चय गरेको छु ।
13 But he is unchangeably one, and who can turn him? And what his will desireth, even that he doth.
तर उहाँ बेग्लै किसिमको हुनुहुन्छ, कसले उहाँलाई फर्काउन सक्छ र? उहाँले जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ, सो गर्नुहुन्छ ।
14 For he will bring to completion what hath been destined for me: and like these hath he many other things with him.
किनकि मेरो विरुद्धमा भएको उहाँको आदेशलाई उहाँले पूरा गर्नुहुन्छ । त्यस्ता कुराहरू त्यहाँ धेरै छन् ।
15 Therefore am I terrified at his presence: I will reflect, and be in dread of him.
त्यसकारण, म उहाँको उपस्थितिमा त्रसित भएको छु । मैले उहाँको बारेमा विचार गर्दा म भयभीत हुन्छु ।
16 Still God hath made timid my heart, and the Almighty hath terrified me;
किनकि परमेश्वरले मेरो हृदय कमजोर पार्नुभएको छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्ले मलाई त्रसित पार्नुभएको छ ।
17 Because I was not destroyed before this darkness, and because he hath not hidden from my face [this] gloom.
अन्धकारले, मेरो अनुहारको उदासीलाई ढाक्ने निस्पट्ट अन्धकारको कारणले, मेरो अन्त्य भएको छैन ।
