< अय्यूब 14 >

1 स्‍त्रीबाट जन्मेको मानिस थोरै दिन बाँच्‍छ, अनि दुखैदुखले भरिएको हुन्छ ।
Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!
2 ऊ फुलझैं जमिनबाट उम्रिन्‍छ र काटिन्छ । ऊ छायाझैं भाग्छ, र रहँदैन ।
As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.
3 के तपाईंले यीमध्ये कुनैलाई हेर्नुहुन्छ? के तपाईंले मलाई आफूसँगै न्यायमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ?
Also — on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee.
4 अशुद्ध कुराबाट कसले शुद्ध कुरा ल्याउन सक्छ र? कसैले सक्दैन ।
Who giveth 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 ।
If determined are his days, The number of his months [are] with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;
6 ऊबाट आफ्नो दृष्‍टि हटाउनुहोस्, यसैले कि उसले विश्राम पाओस्, यसरी उसले सक्‍छ भने, ज्यालाको मानिस झैं आफ्नो दिनमा रमाउन सकोस् ।
Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an 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 of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease.
8 त्‍यसको जरा जमिनभित्र बुढो हुन्‍छ, त्‍यसको फेद जमिनमा मर्छ,
If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,
9 तापनि त्‍यसले पानीको ओस मात्र पायो भने, त्यो फेरि पलाउँछ, र रुखले झैं हाँगाहरू फिंजाउँछ ।
From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.
10 तर मानिसचाहिं मर्छ । त्यो कमजोर हुन्छ । वास्तवमा मानिसले सास फेर्न छोड्छ र फेरि ऊ कहाँ हुन्छ?
And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where [is] he?
11 जसरी एउटा तलाउबाट पानी लोप हुन्छ, र जसरी नदीको पानी घट्छ र सुक्छ,
Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry.
12 त्यसरी नै मानिसहरू ढल्‍किन्छन्, र फेरि उठ्दैनन् । आकाशहरू लोप नभएसम्म तिनीहरू ब्युँझने छैनन्, न त तिनीहरू आफ्‍ना निद्राबाट उठ्नेछन् ।
And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from 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)
O that in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, 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 dieth — doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
15 तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउनुहुन्‍छ, र म जवाफ दिन्‍छु । आफ्‍नो हातको कामको लागि तपाईंको इच्छा हुन्‍छ ।
Thou dost call, and I — I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.
16 तपाईंले मेरा पाइला गन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र वास्ता गर्नुहुन्‍छ । तपाईंले मेरो पापको लेखा राख्‍नुहुन्‍न ।
But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.
17 मेरो अपराध थैलोमा बन्‍द गरिन्‍छ । तपाईंले मेरो अधर्म ढाक्‍नुहुन्‍छ ।
Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18 तर पहाडहरू खस्‍छन् र कतै पुग्‍दैनन्, चट्टानहरू आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हटेर जान्‍छन्,
And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.
19 नदीहरूले ढुङ्गाहरूलाई खियाउँछन्, तिनीहरूमा भएको बाढीले जमिनको धूलो बगाउँछन्। त्‍यसरी नै तपाईंले मानिसको आशालाई नाश गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
20 तपाईंले सधैं उसलाई हराउनुहुन्छ, र ऊ मर्छ । तपाईंले उसको अनुहारको बद्लनुहुन्छ, र उसलाई मर्न दिनुहुन्छ ।
Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.
21 उसका छोराहरूको आदर भयो कि भएन भनेर उसलाई जान्‍दैन । र तिनीहरू होच्याइएका छन् कि छैन् उसले त्‍यो देख्दैन ।
Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.
22 उसले आफ्नो शरीरको दुखलाई अनुभव गर्छ, र उसले आफ्नै निम्‍ति शोक गर्छ ।
Only — his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
