< Job 30 >

1 “But now men who are younger than I am make fun of me— men whose fathers I greatly despised, with the result that I would not even have allowed them to help my dogs guard my sheep.
अब मभन्दा जवानहरूले मेरो ठट्टा गर्नुबाहेक अरू केही गर्दैनन् । यी जवान मानिसहरूका बुबाहरूलाई आफ्‍नो बगाल रुँग्‍ने कुकुरहरूको छेउमा काम गर्न पनि म इन्कार गर्थें ।
2 They were men who were old and (weak/worn out); so (what could I gain from them working for me?/I would have gained nothing from them working for me.) [RHQ]
वास्तवमा तिनीहरूका बाबुहरूका हातको ताकतले, अर्थात् तन्‍देरी उमेरको बल नष्‍ट भएका मानिसहरूका ताकतले मलाई कसरी मदत गर्न सक्थ्यो र?
3 They were very poor and hungry, with the result that they chewed on roots [at night] in dry and desolate places.
गरिबी र भोकले तिनीहरू दुब्‍लो थिए । उजाडस्‍थान र मरुभूमीमा अँध्‍यारोमा सुक्खा भुइँमा तिनीहरू कुटुकुटु टोक्थे ।
4 They pulled up plants in the desert [and ate them] and warmed themselves by [burning] the roots of broom trees.
तिनीहरूले नुनिलो झार र झाडीका पातहरू उखेल्थे । झ्याउका जराहरू तिनीहरूका खानेकुरा थिए ।
5 Everyone shouted at them as though they were thieves and expelled them [from their areas].
तिनीहरू मानिसहरूका बिचबाट खेदिएका थिए, जो चिच्‍च्याउँदै चोरको पछि लागेझैं तिनीहरूको पछि लाग्थे ।
6 They were forced to live in caves in the hills, in holes in the ground, and in the sides of cliffs.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले नदीका मैदानहरू, जमिन र चट्टानका गुफाहरूमा बस्‍नुपरेको थियो ।
7 In the bushes they howled [like animals because they were hungry], and they huddled together under thornbushes.
झाडीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू गधझैं कराउँथे, र तिनीहरू झाडीमुनि एकसाथ जम्‍मा हुन्थे ।
8 They were people without good sense, whose names no one knows; they have been expelled from the land [where they were born].
तिनीहरू मूर्खहरूका छोराहरू थिए, वास्तवमा नाम नभएका मानिसहरूका छोराहरू थिए । कोर्रा लगाएर तिनीहरूलाई देशबाट लखेटियो ।
9 “And now their [children] sing songs to make fun of me. They tell jokes about me.
तर अहिले म तिनीहरूको गिल्लाको गितको विषय बनेको छु । म तिनीहरूका लागि उखान भएको छु ।
10 They are disgusted with me, and they [usually] stay away from me, [but when they see me, ] they are happy to spit in my face.
तिनीहरू मलाई घृणा गर्छन्, र मबाट टाढा रहन्छन् । मेरो मुखमा थुक्‍नबाट तिनीहरू रोकिंदैनन् ।
11 Because [it is as though] [MET] God has cut my bowstring, [he has caused me to be unable to defend myself, ] and he has humbled me, and my enemies have done to me whatever they wanted.
किनकि परमेश्‍वरले मेरो धनुको डोरी फुकाउनुभएको र मलाई कष्‍ट दिनुभएको छ, अनि मलाई गिल्ला गर्नेहरूले मेरो अनुहारकै सामु आफ्नो रिस पोखाउँछन् ।
12 (Gangs/Groups of violent youths) attack me and force me to run away; they prepare to destroy me.
मेरो दाहिने हातमा हुल्याहाहरू खडा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई टाढा लखेट्छन् र मेरो विरुद्धमा आफ्‍ना घेरा-मचान बनाउँछन् ।
13 They prevent me from escaping, and they [do] not [need] anyone to help them (OR, there is no one to help me).
तिनीहरूले मेरो मार्ग नष्‍ट गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले ममाथि विपत्ति ल्याउँछन्, र ती मानिसहरूलाई रोक्‍ने कोही छैन ।
14 [It is as though I am a city wall and] [SIM] they have broken through the wall, and they have come crashing down on me.
सहरको पर्खालमा भएको ठुलो प्वालबाट आउने फौजझैं तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा आउँछन् । विनाशको बिचमा तिनीहरू ममाथि लडिबडि खेल्छन् ।
15 I am very terrified; My dignity/honor has been taken away as though [SIM] [it has been] blown away by the wind, and my prosperity has disappeared like [SIM] clouds disappear.
त्रासहरू ममाथि परेका छन् । बतासले उडाएर लगेझैं मेरो आदरलाई लगिएको छ । मेरो समृद्धि बादलझैं बितेर जान्छ ।
16 “And now I [SYN] am about to die [IDM]; I suffer every day.
अब मेरो जीवन मभित्रै सकिंदैछ । कष्‍टका धेरै दिनहरूले मलाई समातेका छन् ।
17 My bones ache during the night, and the pain that torments me never stops.
रातमा मभित्र भएका हड्‍डीहरूले मलाई घोच्‍छन् । मलाई सताउने मेरा पीडाले आराम लिंदैनन् ।
18 [It is as though God] seizes my clothes and chokes me with the collar of my coat.
परमेश्‍वरको महान् शक्तिले मेरो वस्‍त्र समातेको छ । मेरो कमीजको कठालोझैं यसले मेरो चारैतिर बेर्छ ।
19 He has thrown me into the mud; I am [not worth anything more than] dust and ashes.
उहाँले मलाई हिलोमा फाल्‍नुभएको छ । म धूलो र खरानीझैं भएको छु ।
20 “I cry out to God, but he does not answer/help me; I stand up [and pray], but he does not pay any attention.
हे परमेश्‍वर, म तपाईंमा पुकार्छु, तर तपाईंले मलाई जवाफ दिनुहुन्‍न । म खडा हुन्छु, तर तपाईंले हेर्नु मात्र हुन्छ ।
21 He acts very cruelly toward me; with all of his power [MTY] he causes me to suffer.
तपाईं बद्लिनुभएको छ र मप्रति क्रुर बन्‍नुभएको छ । आफ्नो हातको ताकतले तपाईंले मलाई सताउनुहुन्छ ।
22 He [allows] the wind to lift me up and blow me away, and he tosses me up and down in a violent storm.
तपाईंले मलाई बतासमा उचाल्‍नुहुन्छ र त्‍यसले मलाई उडाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई आँधीमा यताउता हुत्‍याउनुहुन्छ ।
23 I know that he will cause me to die, which is what happens to everyone [MTY] who is alive.
किनकि म जान्‍दछु, कि तपाईंले मलाई मृत्युमा पुर्‍याउनुहुन्‍छ, सबै जीवितहरूका लागि नियुक्त गरिएको घरमा लानुहुन्‍छ ।
24 “When people experience disasters, and they sit on a pile of ruins and cry out for help, others surely [RHQ] reach out their hand to help them.
तापनि जब कोही लड्छ, तब के त्यसले मदतको लागि आफ्नो हात उठाउँदैन र? के सङ्कष्‍टमा भएको कसैले पनि मदतको लागि पुकार्दैन र?
25 [That is what I did previously]. I wept for people who were experiencing troubles, and I felt sorry for poor/needy people.
कष्‍टमा भएको व्यक्तिको लागि म रोइनँ र? खाँचोमा परेको मानिसको लागि मैले शोक गरिनँ र?
26 But when I expected good things [to happen to me], evil things happened; when I waited for light/happiness, all I experienced was darkness/unhappiness [MET].
जब मैले भलाइको आशा गरें, तब खराबी आयो । जब मैले ज्योतिको आशा गरें, त्‍यसको साटो अन्धकार आयो ।
27 I am very distressed [IDM], all the time; I suffer every day.
मेरो हृदय कष्‍टमा छ र यसले विश्राम लिंदैन । कष्‍टका दिनहरू ममाथि आएका छन् ।
28 I go about very discouraged; I stand up and plead for people to help me.
अन्धकारमा बसिरहेको मानिसझैं म हिंडेको छ, तर सूर्यको कारणले होइन । म सभामा खडा हुन्छु र मदतको लागि पुकार्छु ।
29 My wailing sounds as sad as [MET] the cries of jackals/foxes and ostriches.
म स्यालहरूको भाइ, अस्ट्रिचहरूको मित्र भएको छु ।
30 My skin has become dark/black and is peeling off, and I have a fever [which causes my body to feel like it is] burning.
मेरो छाला कालो छ, र पत्रै-पत्र भएर झर्छ । मेरा हड्‍डीहरू रापले जलेका छन् ।
31 Previously, I played joyful music on my harp and with my flute, but now I play only the sad music of those who mourn.”
त्यसकारण मेरो वीणाले शोकका गीतहरू गाउँछ, र मेरो बाँसुरीले रुनेहरूको निम्ति गाउँछ ।
