< Job 14 >

1 “We humans are very frail. We live only a short time, and we experience a lot of trouble.
स्‍त्रीबाट जन्मेको मानिस थोरै दिन बाँच्‍छ, अनि दुखैदुखले भरिएको हुन्छ ।
2 We disappear quickly, like flowers that grow from the ground quickly and then wither and die [SIM]. We are like shadows that disappear [when the sun stops shining].
ऊ फुलझैं जमिनबाट उम्रिन्‍छ र काटिन्छ । ऊ छायाझैं भाग्छ, र रहँदैन ।
3 [Yahweh, ] why do you keep watching me [to see if I am doing something that is wrong] [RHQ]? Are you wanting to take me to court to judge me?
के तपाईंले यीमध्ये कुनैलाई हेर्नुहुन्छ? के तपाईंले मलाई आफूसँगै न्यायमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ?
4 People are sinners from the time when they are born; who can cause them to be sinless? No one [RHQ]!
अशुद्ध कुराबाट कसले शुद्ध कुरा ल्याउन सक्छ र? कसैले सक्दैन ।
5 You have decided how long our lives will be. You have decided how many months we will live, and we cannot live more months than the (limit/number of months) that you have decided.
मानिसको दिनहरू निर्धारित छन् । उसका महिनाहरूका सङ्ख्या तपाईंसितै छन् । तपाईंले उसका सिमाहरू तोक्‍नुभएको छ, जसलाई उसले नाघ्न सक्दैन ।
6 So please stop examining us, and allow us to be alone, until/while we finish our time [here on earth], like a man finishes his work [at the end of the day].
ऊबाट आफ्नो दृष्‍टि हटाउनुहोस्, यसैले कि उसले विश्राम पाओस्, यसरी उसले सक्‍छ भने, ज्यालाको मानिस झैं आफ्नो दिनमा रमाउन सकोस् ।
7 If someone cuts a tree down, we hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
एउटा रुखको लागि आशा हुन सक्छ । त्‍यो काटियो भने, त्‍यो फेरि पलाउन सक्‍छ, जसको कारणले त्‍यसका कोमल पालुवा लोप हुँदैनन् ।
8 Its roots in the ground may be very old, and its stump may decay,
त्‍यसको जरा जमिनभित्र बुढो हुन्‍छ, त्‍यसको फेद जमिनमा मर्छ,
9 but if some water falls on it, it may bud/sprout and send up shoots like a young plant.
तापनि त्‍यसले पानीको ओस मात्र पायो भने, त्यो फेरि पलाउँछ, र रुखले झैं हाँगाहरू फिंजाउँछ ।
10 But when we people lose all our strength and die, we stop breathing and then we are gone [forever].
तर मानिसचाहिं मर्छ । त्यो कमजोर हुन्छ । वास्तवमा मानिसले सास फेर्न छोड्छ र फेरि ऊ कहाँ हुन्छ?
11 Just like water evaporates from the ocean, or like a riverbed dries up,
जसरी एउटा तलाउबाट पानी लोप हुन्छ, र जसरी नदीको पानी घट्छ र सुक्छ,
12 people [lie down and die and] do not get up again. Until the heavens disappear, people who die [EUP] do not wake up, and no one can wake them up.
त्यसरी नै मानिसहरू ढल्‍किन्छन्, र फेरि उठ्दैनन् । आकाशहरू लोप नभएसम्म तिनीहरू ब्युँझने छैनन्, न त तिनीहरू आफ्‍ना निद्राबाट उठ्नेछन् ।
13 [“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol h7585)
दुखबाट टाढा तपाईंले मलाई पातालमा लुकाउनुहुन्‍छ, र तपाईंको रिस नमरेसम्म तपाईंले मलाई गुप्‍तमा राख्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र त्यहाँ म रहने समय तपाईंले तोक्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र मलाई याद गर्नुहुन्‍छ । (Sheol h7585)
14 When we humans die, we will certainly not live again [RHQ]. If [I knew that] we would live again, I would wait patiently, and I would wait for you to release me [from my sufferings].
एक जना मानिस मर्‍यो भने, के ऊ फेरि बाँच्‍नेछ र? त्यसो हो भने, मेरो छुटकारा नआएसम्म, मेरा सबै दुखको समयमा म त्‍यहाँ पर्खेर बिताउन चाहान्‍छु ।
15 You would call me, and I would answer. You would be eager to see me, one of the creatures that you had made.
तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउनुहुन्‍छ, र म जवाफ दिन्‍छु । आफ्‍नो हातको कामको लागि तपाईंको इच्छा हुन्‍छ ।
16 You would take care of [MET] me, instead of watching me to see if I would sin.
तपाईंले मेरा पाइला गन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र वास्ता गर्नुहुन्‍छ । तपाईंले मेरो पापको लेखा राख्‍नुहुन्‍न ।
17 [It is as though the record of] my sins would be sealed in a small bag, and you would cover them up.
मेरो अपराध थैलोमा बन्‍द गरिन्‍छ । तपाईंले मेरो अधर्म ढाक्‍नुहुन्‍छ ।
18 “But, just like mountains crumble and rocks fall down from a cliff,
तर पहाडहरू खस्‍छन् र कतै पुग्‍दैनन्, चट्टानहरू आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हटेर जान्‍छन्,
19 and just like water slowly wears away the stones, and just like floods wash away soil, [you eventually destroy us]; you do not allow us to continue to (hope/confidently expect) [that we will keep on living].
नदीहरूले ढुङ्गाहरूलाई खियाउँछन्, तिनीहरूमा भएको बाढीले जमिनको धूलो बगाउँछन्। त्‍यसरी नै तपाईंले मानिसको आशालाई नाश गर्नुहुन्छ ।
20 You always defeat us, and then we die [EUP]. You cause our faces to look ugly after we die, and you send us away.
तपाईंले सधैं उसलाई हराउनुहुन्छ, र ऊ मर्छ । तपाईंले उसको अनुहारको बद्लनुहुन्छ, र उसलाई मर्न दिनुहुन्छ ।
21 [When we die] we do not know if our sons will grow up and [do things that will cause them to] be honored. And if they become disgraced, we do not see that, [either].
उसका छोराहरूको आदर भयो कि भएन भनेर उसलाई जान्‍दैन । र तिनीहरू होच्याइएका छन् कि छैन् उसले त्‍यो देख्दैन ।
22 We will feel our own pains; we will not feel anything else; we will be sorry for ourselves, not for anyone else.”
उसले आफ्नो शरीरको दुखलाई अनुभव गर्छ, र उसले आफ्नै निम्‍ति शोक गर्छ ।
