अय्यूब 10
1 म आफ्नो जीवनदेखि थाकित छु । म आफ्नो गुनासो स्वतन्त्र भएर पोखाउनेछु । म आफ्नो प्राणको तिक्ततामा बोल्नेछु ।
My soul is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry.
2 म परमेश्वरलाई भन्नेछु, 'मलाई दोषी ठहराउने काम मात्र नगर्नुहोस् । तपाईंले मलाई किन दोष लगाउनुहुन्छ सो देखाउनुहोस् ।
I will say to God, Do not put me down as a sinner; make clear to me what you have against me.
3 आफ्ना हातको कामलाई तुच्छ ठान्नलाई, तपाईंले मेरो थिचोमिचो गर्नु असल हो र, जब कि दुष्टहरूका योजनाहरूमा तपाईं मुस्काउनुहुन्छ?
What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?
4 के तपाईंका मासुका आँखा छन्? के मानिसले झैं तपाईं देख्नुहुन्छ?
Have you eyes of flesh, or do you see as man sees?
5 के तपाईंका दिनहरू मानव-जातिका दिनझैं, वा तपाईंका वर्ष मानिसका वर्षझैं छन्,
Are your days as the days of man, or your years like his,
6 तपाईंले मेरो अधर्मको जाँचबूझ गर्नुहुन्छ, र मेरो पाप खोज्न गर्नुहुन्छ,
That you take note of my sin, searching after my wrongdoing,
7 म दोषी छैनँ भनी तपाईं जान्नुहुन्छ, र कोही पनि छैन जसले मलाई तपाईंको हातबाट बचाउन सक्छ?
Though you see that I am not an evil-doer; and there is no one who is able to take a man out of your hands?
8 तपाईंकै हातले सबैतिरबाट मलाई आकार दिएर, एकसाथ बनाए, तापनि तपाईंले मलाई नष्ट पार्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
Your hands made me, and I was formed by you, but then, changing your purpose, you gave me up to destruction.
9 म बिन्ती गर्छु, माटोलाई आकार दिएझैं तपाईंले मलाई बनाउनुभएको कुरा सम्झनुहोस् । के तपाईंले मलाई फेरि धूलोमा नै पुर्याउनुहुन्छ?
O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?
10 के तपाईंले मलाई दूधझैं खन्याउनुभएको छैन, अनि पनीरझैं जमाउनुभएको छैन?
Was I not drained out like milk, becoming hard like cheese?
11 तपाईंले मलाई छाला र मासुले ढाक्नुभएको छ, अनि हड्डी र नसाहरूले एकसाथ गाँस्नुभएको छ ।
By you I was clothed with skin and flesh, and joined together with bones and muscles.
12 तपाईंले मलाई जीवन र करारको विश्वस्तता दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंको मदतले मेरो आत्माको रक्षा भएको छ ।
You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.
13 तापनि यी कुरा तपाईंले आफ्नै हृदयमा लुकाउनुभयो । तपाईंले यस्तो सोच्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी म जान्दछुः
But you kept these things in the secret of your heart; I am certain this was in your thoughts:
14 मैले पाप गरें भने तपाईंले त्यो ख्याल गर्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई मेरो अधर्मबाट छोड्नुहुन्न ।
That, if I did wrong, you would take note of it, and would not make me clear from sin:
15 मैले दुष्टतासाथ काम गरेको भए, मलाई धिक्कार छ! र मैले धार्मिकतासाथ काम गरे पनि, मैले आफ्नो शिर ठाडो पार्न सकिनँ, किनकि म अपमानले भरिएको छु— मेरो कष्ट हेर्नुहोस् ।
That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.
16 मेरो शिर ठाडो पारिएको भए, सिंहले झैं तपाईंले मलाई सिकार बनाउनुहुन्थ्यो । अनि तपाईंले फेरि पनि मेरो विरुद्धमा शक्तिका आश्चर्यपूर्ण कामहरूले आफूलाई देखाउनुहुन्थ्यो ।
And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:
17 तपाईंले मेरो विरुद्धमा नयाँ साक्षीहरू ल्याउनुहुन्छ, र मेरो विरुद्धमा आफ्नो रिस बढाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई नयाँ फौजले आक्रमण गर्नुहुन्छ ।
That you would send new witnesses against me, increasing your wrath against me, and letting loose new armies on me.
18 त्यसो भए, तपाईंले मलाई किन गर्भबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको छ? मैले आफ्नो आत्मा त्यागेको भए, अनि कसैले कहिल्यै मलाई नदेखेको भए हुन्थ्यो ।
Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,
19 म कहिल्यै अस्तित्वमा नभएजस्तो हुन्थें । म गर्भबाट नै चिहानमा लगिन्थें ।
And for me to have been as if I had not been; to have been taken from my mother's body straight to my last resting-place.
20 के मेरा दिनहरू थोरै मात्र छैनन् र? त्यसो भए, रोक्नुहोस्, मलाई नसताउनुहोस् जसले गर्दा केही क्षण म आराम गर्न सकूँ,
Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,
21 जहाँबाट म कहिलै फर्कन्न त्यहाँ जानुअगि, अन्धकारको देश र मृत्युको छायामा,
Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,
22 मध्यरात जस्तै अँध्यारो देशमा, कुनै नियमबिनाको, मृत्युको छायाको देशमा, जहाँ उज्यालो नै मध्यरातजस्तो हुन्छ ।’”
A land of thick dark, without order, where the very light is dark.
