ईयोब 3
After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
So then Job began, and said:
3 ३ “मी ज्या दिवशी जन्मलो तो दिवस नष्ट होवो, मुलाची गर्भधारणा झाली अशी जी रात्र म्हणाली ती भस्म होवो.
Perish, the day wherein I was born, and the night it was said, Lo! a manchild!
4 ४ तो दिवस अंधकारमय होवो, देवाला त्याचे विस्मरण होवो, त्यावर सुर्यप्रकाश पडला नसता तर फार बरे झाले असते.
That day, be it darkness, —Let not God enquire after it from above, May there shine upon it no clear beam:
5 ५ मृत्यूची सावली आणि अंधार त्यास आपल्या स्वतःचा समजो, ढग सदैव त्यावर राहो, जी प्रत्येक गोष्ट दिवसाचा अंधार करते ती त्यास खरेच भयभीत करो,
Let darkness and death-shade buy it back, May there settle down upon it a cloud, Let a day’s dark eclipse cause it terror:
6 ६ ती रात्र काळोख घट्ट पकडून ठेवो, वर्षाच्या दिवसांमध्ये ती आनंद न पावो. महिन्याच्या तिथीत तिची गणती न होवो.
That night, darkness take it, —May it not rejoice among the days of the year, Into the number of months, let it not enter.
Lo! that night, be it barren, Let no joyous shouting enter therein:
Let day-cursers denounce it, Those skilled in rousing the dragon of the sky:
9 ९ त्या दिवसाच्या पहाटेचे तारे काळे होत. तो दिवस प्रकाशाची वाट पाहो पण तो कधी न मिळो, त्याच्या पापण्यास उषःकालाचे दर्शन न घडो.
Darkened be the stars of its twilight, —Let it wait for light, and there be none, neither let it see the eyelashes of the dawn:
Because it closed not the doors of the womb wherein I was, and so hid trouble from mine eyes.
11 ११ उदरातुन बाहेर आलो तेव्हाच मी का मरण पावलो नाही? माझ्या आईने मला जन्म देताच मी का प्राण त्यागला नाही?
Wherefore, in the womb, did I not die? From the womb, come forth and cease to breathe?
12 १२ तिच्या मांडयानी माझा स्विकार का केला? किंवा मी जगावे म्हणून तिच्या स्तनांनी माझा स्विकार का केला?
For what reason, were there prepared for me—knees? and why—breasts, that I might suck?
Surely, at once, had I lain down, and been quiet, I had fallen asleep, then, had I been at rest:
With kings, and counselors of the earth, who had built them pyramids:
15 १५ किंवा ज्या राजकुमारांनी आपली घरे सोन्या रुप्यांनी भरली त्यांच्या बरोबरच मलाही मरण आले असते तर बरे झाले असते.
Or with rulers possessing, gold, —Who had filled their houses with silver:
16 १६ कदाचित मी जन्मापासूनच मृत मूल का झालो नाही, किंवा प्रकाश न पाहिलेले अर्भक मी असतो तर बरे झाले असते.
Or that, like an untimely birth hidden away, I had not come into being, like infants that never saw light:
There, the lawless, cease from raging, and there the toil-worn are at rest:
At once are prisoners at peace, they hear not the voice of a driver:
Small and great, there, they are, and, the slave, is free from his master.
Wherefore give, to the wretched, light? Or, life, to the embittered in soul?—
21 २१ ज्याला मरण पाहीजे त्यास मरण येत नाही, दु: खी मनुष्य गुप्त खजिन्यापेक्षा मृत्यूच्या अधिक शोधात असतो?
Who long for death, and it is not, And have digged for it, beyond hid treasures:
Who rejoice unto exultation, Are glad, when they can find the grave:
To a man, whose way is concealed, And GOD hath straitly enclosed him?
For, in the face of my food, my sighing, cometh in, and, poured out like the water, are my groans:
For, a dread, I dreaded, and it hath come upon me, and, that from which I shrank, hath overtaken me.
I was not careless, nor was I secure, nor had I settled down, —when there came—consternation!
