अय्यूब 3
After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
Job answered:
"Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, 'A man is conceived.'
Let that day be darkness. May God above not care about it, neither let the light shine on it.
5 ५ अंधियारा और मृत्यु की छाया उस पर रहे। बादल उस पर छाए रहें; और दिन को अंधेरा कर देनेवाली चीजें उसे डराएँ।
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 ६ घोर अंधकार उस रात को पकड़े; वर्षा के दिनों के बीच वह आनन्द न करने पाए, और न महीनों में उसकी गिनती की जाए।
As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
Look, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come in it.
Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
9 ९ उसकी संध्या के तारे प्रकाश न दें; वह उजियाले की बाट जोहे पर वह उसे न मिले, वह भोर की पलकों को भी देखने न पाए;
Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
"Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?
For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
14 १४ और मैं पृथ्वी के उन राजाओं और मंत्रियों के साथ होता जिन्होंने अपने लिये सुनसान स्थान बनवा लिए,
with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
15 १५ या मैं उन राजकुमारों के साथ होता जिनके पास सोना था जिन्होंने अपने घरों को चाँदी से भर लिया था;
or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 १६ या मैं असमय गिरे हुए गर्भ के समान हुआ होता, या ऐसे बच्चों के समान होता जिन्होंने उजियाले को कभी देखा ही न हो।
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
There the prisoners are at ease together. They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
"Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
Who long for death, but it doesn't come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 २३ उजियाला उस पुरुष को क्यों मिलता है जिसका मार्ग छिपा है, जिसके चारों ओर परमेश्वर ने घेरा बाँध दिया है?
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in?
24 २४ मुझे तो रोटी खाने के बदले लम्बी-लम्बी साँसें आती हैं, और मेरा विलाप धारा के समान बहता रहता है।
For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25 २५ क्योंकि जिस डरावनी बात से मैं डरता हूँ, वही मुझ पर आ पड़ती है, और जिस बात से मैं भय खाता हूँ वही मुझ पर आ जाती है।
For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me.
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble comes."
