< Job 16 >
1 Job replied [to Eliphaz and the others: ]
तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “I have heard things like that before; all of you, [instead of helping me, ] are only causing me to feel more miserable.
“धेरै यस्ता कुराहरू मैले सुनेको छु । सान्वना दिने तपाईंहरू सबैले दुःख दिनुहुन्छ ।
3 Will your speeches, which are only hot air, never end [RHQ]? Eliphaz, what bothers/irritates you so much that you continue replying to me?
के व्यर्थका शब्दहरू कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुन्छन् कि? तपाईंहरूलाई के भयो जसले गर्दा तपाईंहरू यसरी जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ?
4 If it were you [three and not I] who were suffering, I could say the things that you are saying; I could make great speeches [to criticize/condemn you], and I could shake my head at you [to ridicule you].
तपाईंहरू ठाउँमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो भने, तपाईंहरूले बोलेझैं म पनि बोल्न सक्थें, तपाईंहरूको विरुद्धमा शब्दहरू जम्मा गर्न र मिलाउन सक्थें, र गिल्ला गर्दै मेरो शिर हल्लाउन सक्थें ।
5 But, [unlike all of you, ] with what I said [MTY] I would encourage you and try to cause your pain to be less.
मेरो मुखले तपाईंहरूलाई बलियो पार्थें, र मेरो ओठको बरबरले तपाईंहरूलाई राहत ल्याउँथें ।
6 “But now, if I talk, my pain does not decrease, and if I am silent, my pain still certainly does not [RHQ] go away.
मैले बोल्दा त मेरो शोक कम हुँदैन । मैले बोल्न छाडें भने मलाई कसरी मदत हुन्छ?
7 God has now taken away all my strength, and he has destroyed my family.
तर हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले मलाई थकित पार्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मेरा सबै परिवारलाई सर्वनाश पार्नुभएको छ ।
8 He has shriveled me up, and people think that shows that I [am a sinner]. And people see that I am only skin and bones, and they think that proves that I [am guilty].
तपाईंले मलाई सुक्खा पार्नुभएको छ, जसले मेरो विरुद्धमा साक्षी दिन्छ । मेरो शरीरको दुब्लोपन मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुन्छ, र यसले मेरो अनुहारको विरुद्धमा साक्षी दिन्छ ।
9 Because God is very angry with me and hates me, [it is as though he is a wild animal that] [MET] has gnashed his teeth at me because he is my enemy.
परमेश्वर क्रोधमा उहाँले मलाई टुक्रा पार्नुभएको, र मलाई सताउनुभएको छ । क्रोधमा उहाँले आफ्नो दाह्रा किट्नुहुन्छ । मेरो शत्रुले मलाई घुरेर हेर्नुहुन्छ ।
10 People gape/stare at me with their mouths open [to sneer at me]; they have struck me on the face/cheek to ridicule me, and they crowd around me to threaten me.
मानिसहरूले मलाई हेर्दै मुख खोलेर टोलाएका छन् । निन्दाले भरिएर तिनीहरूले मलाई गालामा थप्पड हानेका छन् । तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा एकसाथ भेला भएका छन्।
11 [It is as though] God has handed me over to ungodly people and turned me over to the wicked [DOU].
परमेश्वरले मलाई ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूका हातमा दिनुहुन्छ, र मलाई दुष्ट मानिसहरूका हातमा फाल्नुहुन्छ ।
12 Previously, I was living peacefully, but he crushed me; [it is as though] he grabbed my neck and smashed me to pieces. [It is as though] [MET] he set me up like a target;
म चैनमा थिएँ, अनि उहाँले मलाई लुछ्नुभयो । वास्तवमा, उहाँले मलाई गलहत्त्याउनुभएको र टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो निसाना पनि बनाउनुभएको छ ।
13 people are surrounding me [and shooting arrows at me]. His arrows pierce my kidneys and cause the bile [from my liver] to spill onto the ground, and God does not pity me at all.
उहाँका धनुर्धारीहरूले मेरो चारैतिर घेरा हाल्छन् । परमेश्वरले मेरा मिर्गौला छेड्नुहुन्छ, र मलाई छोड्नुहुन्न । उहाँले मेरो पित्त भुइँमा पोख्नुहुन्छ ।
14 [It is as though] [MET] I am a wall that he is breaking through; he rushes at me like [SIM] a soldier [attacking his enemies].
उहाँले बारम्बार मेरो भित्तामा हिर्काउनुहुन्छ । एक जना लडाकुले झैं उहाँले मलाई झम्टिनुहुन्छ ।
15 [“Because I am mourning, ] I wear pieces of rough cloth that I have sewed together, and I sit [here] in the dirt, very depressed/discouraged.
आफ्नो शरीर ढाक्नलाई मैले भाङ्ग्रा सिएको छु । मैले आफ्नो टाउकोलाई भुइँमा गाडेको छु ।
16 My face is red because I have cried very much, and there are dark circles around my eyes.
रुँदा-रुँदा मेरो अनुहार रातो भएको छ । मेरो आँखाको वरिपरि मृत्युको छाया छ,
17 [All this has happened to me] even though I have not acted violently [toward anyone], and I [always] pray sincerely/honestly [to God].
जबकि मेरा हातमा कुनै हिंसा छैन र मेरो प्रार्थना शुद्ध छ ।
18 [When I die, ] I want the ground [APO] to [act as though I had been murdered and] cry out against those who killed me, and I do not want anyone to stop me while I am demanding [that God act justly toward] me.
ए पृथ्वी, मेरो रगतलाई नछोप । मेरो रोदनले विश्राम नपाओस् ।
19 But even now, [I know that] there is someone in heaven who will testify for me, and he will say that what I have done is right.
अहिले पनि मेरो साक्षी स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ । मलाई स्याबासी दिनुहुने उच्चमा हुनुहुन्छ ।
20 My [three] friends scorn/ridicule me, but my eyes are full of tears [while I cry out] to God.
मेरा मित्रहरूले मलाई खिसी गर्छन्, तर मेरो आँखाले परमेश्वरमा आँसु बगाउँछ ।
21 I pray that [the] one [who knows what I have done] would come to plead with God for me like people plead for their friends.
मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई गरेझैं, स्वर्गमा हुनुभएको त्यो साक्षीलाई यस मानिसको पक्षमा परमेश्वरसित बहस गरिदिन म बिन्ती गर्छु ।
22 [I say this because] within a few years [I will die]; I will walk along the [to the grave] from which I will never return.”
किनकि जब केही वर्ष बितेर जान्छ, तब म त्यस्तो ठाउँमा जानेछु, जहाँबाट म फर्कनेछैनँ ।
