1 स्‍त्रीबाट जन्मेको मानिस थोरै दिन बाँच्‍छ, अनि दुखैदुखले भरिएको हुन्छ ।
“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 ऊ फुलझैं जमिनबाट उम्रिन्‍छ र काटिन्छ । ऊ छायाझैं भाग्छ, र रहँदैन ।
He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
3 के तपाईंले यीमध्ये कुनैलाई हेर्नुहुन्छ? के तपाईंले मलाई आफूसँगै न्यायमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ?
Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
4 अशुद्ध कुराबाट कसले शुद्ध कुरा ल्याउन सक्छ र? कसैले सक्दैन ।
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
5 मानिसको दिनहरू निर्धारित छन् । उसका महिनाहरूका सङ्ख्या तपाईंसितै छन् । तपाईंले उसका सिमाहरू तोक्‍नुभएको छ, जसलाई उसले नाघ्न सक्दैन ।
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
6 ऊबाट आफ्नो दृष्‍टि हटाउनुहोस्, यसैले कि उसले विश्राम पाओस्, यसरी उसले सक्‍छ भने, ज्यालाको मानिस झैं आफ्नो दिनमा रमाउन सकोस् ।
Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
7 एउटा रुखको लागि आशा हुन सक्छ । त्‍यो काटियो भने, त्‍यो फेरि पलाउन सक्‍छ, जसको कारणले त्‍यसका कोमल पालुवा लोप हुँदैनन् ।
“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
8 त्‍यसको जरा जमिनभित्र बुढो हुन्‍छ, त्‍यसको फेद जमिनमा मर्छ,
Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
9 तापनि त्‍यसले पानीको ओस मात्र पायो भने, त्यो फेरि पलाउँछ, र रुखले झैं हाँगाहरू फिंजाउँछ ।
yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.
10 तर मानिसचाहिं मर्छ । त्यो कमजोर हुन्छ । वास्तवमा मानिसले सास फेर्न छोड्छ र फेरि ऊ कहाँ हुन्छ?
But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11 जसरी एउटा तलाउबाट पानी लोप हुन्छ, र जसरी नदीको पानी घट्छ र सुक्छ,
As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
12 त्यसरी नै मानिसहरू ढल्‍किन्छन्, र फेरि उठ्दैनन् । आकाशहरू लोप नभएसम्म तिनीहरू ब्युँझने छैनन्, न त तिनीहरू आफ्‍ना निद्राबाट उठ्नेछन् ।
so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
13 दुखबाट टाढा तपाईंले मलाई पातालमा लुकाउनुहुन्‍छ, र तपाईंको रिस नमरेसम्म तपाईंले मलाई गुप्‍तमा राख्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र त्यहाँ म रहने समय तपाईंले तोक्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र मलाई याद गर्नुहुन्‍छ । (Sheol h7585)
“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me! (Sheol h7585)
14 एक जना मानिस मर्‍यो भने, के ऊ फेरि बाँच्‍नेछ र? त्यसो हो भने, मेरो छुटकारा नआएसम्म, मेरा सबै दुखको समयमा म त्‍यहाँ पर्खेर बिताउन चाहान्‍छु ।
If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
15 तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउनुहुन्‍छ, र म जवाफ दिन्‍छु । आफ्‍नो हातको कामको लागि तपाईंको इच्छा हुन्‍छ ।
You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 तपाईंले मेरा पाइला गन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र वास्ता गर्नुहुन्‍छ । तपाईंले मेरो पापको लेखा राख्‍नुहुन्‍न ।
But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
17 मेरो अपराध थैलोमा बन्‍द गरिन्‍छ । तपाईंले मेरो अधर्म ढाक्‍नुहुन्‍छ ।
My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
18 तर पहाडहरू खस्‍छन् र कतै पुग्‍दैनन्, चट्टानहरू आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हटेर जान्‍छन्,
“But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place.
19 नदीहरूले ढुङ्गाहरूलाई खियाउँछन्, तिनीहरूमा भएको बाढीले जमिनको धूलो बगाउँछन्। त्‍यसरी नै तपाईंले मानिसको आशालाई नाश गर्नुहुन्छ ।
The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
20 तपाईंले सधैं उसलाई हराउनुहुन्छ, र ऊ मर्छ । तपाईंले उसको अनुहारको बद्लनुहुन्छ, र उसलाई मर्न दिनुहुन्छ ।
You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
21 उसका छोराहरूको आदर भयो कि भएन भनेर उसलाई जान्‍दैन । र तिनीहरू होच्याइएका छन् कि छैन् उसले त्‍यो देख्दैन ।
His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
22 उसले आफ्नो शरीरको दुखलाई अनुभव गर्छ, र उसले आफ्नै निम्‍ति शोक गर्छ ।
But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”
