< Job 17 >
1 My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, 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, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
निश्चय नै गिल्ला गर्नेहरू मसितै छन् । मेरो आँखाले सधैं तिनीहरूको रिसलाई हेर्नुपर्छ ।
3 Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; who is there that will strike hands with me?
मलाई धरौटी दिनुहोस् । तपाईं आफै मेरो जमानी हुनुहोस् । मलाई मदत गर्नलाई अरू को नै छ र?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].
किनकि हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयको समझलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसकारण तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुहुन्न ।
5 He that denounceth his friends for a prey, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
इनामको लागि जसले आफ्नो मित्रहरूको बदनामी गर्छ, त्यसका छोराछोरीका आँखा कमजोर हुनेछन् ।
6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become an open abhorring.
तर उहाँले मलाई मानिसहरूको उखान बनाउनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले मेरो मुखैमा थुक्छन् ।
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and 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 shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
यसले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई अलमलमा पार्नेछन् । निर्दोष मानिसले आफैलाई ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा सुर्याउनेछ ।
9 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.
धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्नेछ । शुद्ध हात भएकोचाहिं बलियो हुँदै जानेछ ।
10 But return ye, all of you, and come now: and I shall 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 purposes are broken off, even the droughts of my heart.
मेरा दिन बितिसके । मेरा योजनाहरू चकनाचूर भए, अनि मेरो हृदयको इच्छा पनि त्यस्तै भयो ।
12 They change the night into a day: the fight, [say they], is near unto the darkness.
यी मानिसहरू, यी गिल्ला गर्नेले रातलाई दिनमा बद्लन्छन् । उज्यालो अँध्यारको नजिकै छ ।
13 If I look for Sheol as mine house; if I have spread my couch in the 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 corruption, Thou art my father; to the worm, [Thou art] 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? and as for my hope, who shall see it?
तब मेरो आशा खोइ त? कसले मेरो निम्ति कुनै आशा देख्न सक्छ र?
16 It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when once there is rest in the dust. (Sheol )
जब हामी धूलोमा फर्कन्छौं, तब के मसँगै आशा पनि पातालका ढोकाहरूमा जानेछ र? (Sheol )
