Job 17
1 “My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have no strength left; my grave is waiting for me.
मेरी जान तबाह हो गई मेरे दिन हो चुके क़ब्र मेरे लिए तैय्यार है।
2 Those who are around me are making fun of me; I [SYN] watch them while they (taunt/make fun of) me.”
यक़ीनन हँसी उड़ाने वाले मेरे साथ साथ हैं, और मेरी आँख उनकी छेड़छाड़ पर लगी रहती है।
3 “God, [it is as though I am in prison; ] please pay the money in order that I may be released, because there is certainly no one else who will help me.
ज़मानत दे, अपने और मेरे बीच में तू ही ज़ामिन हो। कौन है जो मेरे हाथ पर हाथ मारे?
4 You have prevented my friends from understanding [what is true about me]; do not allow them to triumph over me, [saying that I have done things that are wrong].
क्यूँकि तूने इनके दिल को समझ से रोका है, इसलिए तू इनको सरफ़राज़ न करेगा।
5 [Our ancestors often said, ‘It often happens that] when someone betrays his friends in order to get some of their property, it is that person’s children who will be punished for it;’ [so I desire/hope that will be true of these friends of mine who are lying about me].
जो लूट की ख़ातिर अपने दोस्तों को मुल्ज़िम ठहराता है, उसके बच्चों की आँखें भी जाती रहेंगी।
6 “But now people use that saying of our ancestors when they talk about me; they spit in my face [to insult me].
उसने मुझे लोगों के लिए ज़रबुल मिसाल बना दिया हैं: और मैं ऐसा हो गया कि लोग मेरे मुँह पर थूकें।
7 (My sight has become dim/I cannot see well) because I am extremely sad, and my arms and legs are [very thin, with the result that they almost do not cast] [MET] a shadow.
मेरी आँखे ग़म के मारे धुंदला गई, और मेरे सब 'आज़ा परछाईं की तरह है।
8 Those who [say that they] are good/righteous are shocked [when they see what has happened to me], and people who [say that they] (are innocent/have not done anything that is wrong) say that I am wicked/godless and should be punished.
रास्तबाज़ आदमी इस बात से हैरान होंगे और मा'सूम आदमी बे ख़ुदा लोगों के ख़िलाफ़ जोश में आएगा
9 Those who [claim that they] are righteous will continue to do what [they think] is right, and those [who say] they have not sinned will continue to become stronger.
तोभी सच्चा अपनी राह में साबित क़दम रहेगा और जिसके हाथ साफ़ हैं, वह ताक़तवर ही होता जाएगा
10 “But even if all of those people came [and stood in front of me], I would not find anyone among them who is wise.
लेकिन तुम सब के सब आते हो तो आओ, मुझे तुम्हारे बीच एक भी आदमी 'अक़्लमन्द न मिलेगा।
11 My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have not been able to do the things that I confidently expected to do; [I have not been able to accomplish] anything that I [SYN] desired.
मेरे दिन तो बीत चुके, और मेरे मक़सद मिट गए और जो मेरे दिल में था, वह बर्बाद हुआ है।
12 My friends do not know when it is night and when it is day; when it is night, they claim that it is daylight; when it is becoming dark, they claim it is becoming light.
वह रात को दिन से बदलते हैं, वह कहतें है रोशनी तारीकी के नज़दीक है।
13 If my home will be the place where dead people are, where will I sleep in the darkness? (Sheol h7585)
अगर में उम्मीद करूँ कि पाताल मेरा घर है, अगर मैंने अँधेरे में अपना बिछौना बिछा लिया है। (Sheol h7585)
14 I may say to the grave, ‘You will be [like] a father to me,’ and say to the maggots [that will eat my body], ‘You will be [like] a mother or younger sisters to me [because you will be where I will always be].’
अगर मैंने सड़ाहट से कहा है कि तू मेरा बाप है, और कीड़े से कि तू मेरी माँ और बहन है
15 But if I say those things, (will there be anything good that I can confidently expect to happen to me?/there will be nothing good that I can confidently expect to happen to me.) [RHQ] (Is there anyone who knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave?/No one knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave.) [RHQ]
तोमेरी उम्मीद कहाँ रही, और जो मेरी उम्मीद है, उसे कौन देखेगा
16 After I descend to the place where the dead are, (will I be able to confidently expect anything good there?/I certainly will not be able to confidently expect anything good there.) [RHQ] [It will be as though] [RHQ] I and the things I hope for will descend with me into the dust [where the dead are].” (Sheol h7585)
वह पाताल के फाटकों तक नीचे उतर जाएगी जब हम मिलकर ख़ाक में आराम पाएँगे।” (Sheol h7585)
