< Job 6 >

1 Then Job answered and said,
तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “Oh, if only my anguish were weighed; if only all my calamity were laid in the balance!
“हाय, मेरो वेदना जोखिएको भए, मेरा सबै विपत्ति तराजुमा राखिएको भए,
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas. That is why my words were reckless.
किनकि अहिले त्‍यो समुद्रका बालुवाभन्दा पनि गह्रौं हुनेथियो, त्यसकारण मेरा वचन समझहीन छन् ।
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks up the poison; the terrors of God have arranged themselves in array against me.
सर्वशक्तिमान्‌का काँडहरू ममा गाडिएका छन्, र मेरो आत्माले विष सेवन गर्छ । परमेश्‍वरको त्रास आफै मेरो विरुद्धमा तैनाथ छन् ।
5 Does the wild donkey bray in despair when he has grass? Or does the ox low in hunger when it has fodder?
के वनको गधाले घाँस पाउँदा यो निराशमा कराउँछ र? वा के गोरुले कुँडो पाउँदा यो डुक्रन्छ र?
6 Can that which has no taste be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
के स्वाद नभएको खानेकुरालाई नुनविना खान सकिन्छ र? वा अण्डाको सेतो भागको कुनै स्वाद हुन्छ र?
7 I refuse to touch them; they are like disgusting food to me.
म तिनलाई छुन पनि इन्कार गर्छु । मेरा लागि ती घृणित खानेकुरा हुन् ।
8 Oh, that I might have my request; oh, that God would grant me the thing I long for:
हाय! मैले बिन्ती गरेको कुरा मसित भए! हाय, मैले चिताएको कुरा परमेश्‍वरले दिनुभए!
9 that it would please God to crush me once, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off from this life!
मलाई एकैचोटी धुलो पार्न परमेश्‍वर खुसी हुनुपर्छ! उहाँले आफ्‍नो हात उठाउनुपर्छ र यो जीवनबाट मलाई खतम पार्नुपर्छ!
10 May this still be my consolation— even if I exult in pain that does not lessen: that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
यो अझै पनि मेरो सान्त्वना होस्– म पीडामा उफ्रे पनि त्‍यो घट्‍दैन, मैले परमपवित्रको वचन इन्कार गरेको छैनँ ।
11 What is my strength, that I should try to wait? What is my end, that I should prolong my life?
मैले पर्खन कोसिस गर्नुपर्ने मेरो बल के हो र? मैले आफ्‍नो जीवनलाई लम्‍ब्‍याउनुपर्ने मेरो अन्त्य के हो?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh made of bronze?
के मेरो बल ढुङ्गाहरूका बल हो र? अर्थात् मेरो मासु काँसाबाट बनेको छ?
13 Is it not true that I have no help in myself, and that wisdom has been driven out of me?
म आफैलाई मदत गर्न सक्‍दिन भन्‍ने कुरा सत्‍य होइन र, अनि बुद्धिलाई मबाट खेदिएको छैन र?
14 To the person who is about to faint, faithfulness should be shown by his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
मूर्छा खानै लागेको व्यक्तिलाई, त्यसको साथीले विश्‍वसनीयता देखाउनु, उसलाई पनि जसले सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को भयलाई त्याग्‍छ ।
15 But my brothers have been as faithful to me as a desert streambed, as channels of water that pass away to nothing,
तर मरुभूमिको नहरझैं मेरा दाजुभाइ मसित विश्‍वासयोग्य भएका छन्, बगेर कतै पनि नपुग्‍ने पानीको नहरझैं,
16 which are darkened because of ice over them, and because of the snow that hides itself in them.
तीमाथि बरफ जमेको हुनाले, र तिनमा लुकेर बस्‍ने हिउँको कारणले अँध्‍यारो भएका छन् ।
17 When they thaw out, they vanish; when it is hot, they melt out of their place.
जब ती पग्लिन्छन्, ती बिलय हुन्छन् । तातो हुँदा ती आफ्नो ठाउँबाट पग्लेर जान्छन् ।
18 The caravans that travel by their way turn aside for water; they wander into barren land and then perish.
आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्ने यात्रु-दल पानी खोज्‍न पाखा लाग्‍छन् । तिनीहरू बाँझो भू-भागमा भौंतारिन्छन्, र नष्‍ट हुन्छन् ।
19 Caravans from Tema looked there, while companies of Sheba hoped in them.
तेमाबाट आएका यात्रु-दलले त्‍यहाँ हेरे, जबकि शेबाका सहयात्रीहरूले तिनमा आशा राखे ।
20 They were disappointed because they had been confident of finding water. They went there, but they were deceived.
तिनमा पानी भेट्टाउने निश्‍चयता भएको हुनाले तिनीहरू निरुत्साही भए । तिनीहरू त्यहाँ गए, तर तिनीहरू धोकामा परे ।
21 For now you friends are nothing to me; you see my dreadful situation and are afraid.
किनकि अब तपाईं मित्रहरू त मेरा लागि केही होइन । तपाईंहरू मेरो डरलाग्दो अवस्था देख्‍नुहुन्‍छ र डराउनुहुन्‍छ ।
22 Did I say to you, 'Give something to me?' Or, 'Offer me a gift from your wealth?'
के मैले तपाईंलाई यसो भनें, 'मलाई केही कुरा दिनुहोस्?' अथवा ‘आफ्‍नो धन-सम्पत्तिबाट मलाई एउटा उपहार दिनुहोस्?’
23 Or, 'Save me from my adversary's hand?' Or, 'Ransom me from the hand of my oppressors?'
अथवा ‘मलाई मेरा वैरीको हातबाट बचाउनुहोस्?' अथवा 'मेरो थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरूको हातबाट मलाई मोल तिरेर छुटाउनुहोस्?'
24 Teach me, and I will hold my peace; make me understand where I have been wrong.
मलाई सिकाउनुहोस्, र म आफू शान्‍त रहनेछु । मैले कहाँ गल्ती गरें, मलाई प्रष्‍ट पार्नुहोस् ।
25 How painful are truthful words! But your arguments, how do they actually rebuke me?
इमानदार वचन कति पीडादयक हुन्छन्! तर तपाईंका तर्कहरू, कसरी तिनले मलाई साँच्‍चै हप्काउँछन् र?
26 Do you plan to ignore my words, treating the words of a desperate man like the wind?
मेरा वचनलाई बेवास्ता गर्ने योजना गर्नुहुन्‍छ, निराश मानिसका वचनलाई बतासझैं तपाईं गर्नुहुन्‍छ?
27 Indeed, you cast lots for a fatherless child, and haggle over your friend like merchandise.
वास्तवमा, तपाईं अनाथको लागि चिट्ठा हाल्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र बेच्ने सामनझैं आफ्नो मित्रको मूल्‍य तोक्‍नुहुन्‍छ ।
28 Now, therefore, please look at me, for surely I would not lie to your face.
त्यसकारण अब कृपया मलाई हेर्नुहोस्, किनकि म निश्‍चय नै तपाईंको सामु झुट बोल्दिनँ ।
29 Relent, I beg you; let there be no injustice with you; Indeed, relent, for my cause is just.
मेरो बिन्ती छ, कोमल हुनुहोस् । तपाईंसित कुनै अन्याय नहोस् । वास्तवमै कोमलो हुनुहोस्, किनकि मेरो समस्‍या न्‍यायोचित छ ।
30 Is there evil on my tongue? Cannot my mouth detect malicious things?
के मेरो जिब्रोमा खराबी छ र? के मेरा मुखले दूर्भावपूर्ण कुराहरू छुट्ट्याउन सक्दैन र?
