1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then responded Job, and said: —
2 “धेरै यस्ता कुराहरू मैले सुनेको छु । सान्‍वना दिने तपाईंहरू सबैले दुःख दिनुहुन्छ ।
I have heard many such things, Wearisome comforters, are ye all!
3 के व्यर्थका शब्दहरू कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुन्‍छन् कि? तपाईंहरूलाई के भयो जसले गर्दा तपाईंहरू यसरी जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ?
Is there to be an end to windy words? Or what so strongly exciteth thee, that thou must respond?
4 तपाईंहरू ठाउँमा हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो भने, तपाईंहरूले बोलेझैं म पनि बोल्‍न सक्‍थें, तपाईंहरूको विरुद्धमा शब्दहरू जम्मा गर्न र मिलाउन सक्थें, र गिल्ला गर्दै मेरो शिर हल्लाउन सक्थें ।
I also, like you, could speak, —If your soul were in the place of my soul, I could string together words against you, and could therewith shake over you my head.
5 मेरो मुखले तपाईंहरूलाई बलियो पार्थें, र मेरो ओठको बरबरले तपाईंहरूलाई राहत ल्याउँथें ।
I could make you determined, by my mouth, and then my lip-solace should restrain you.
6 मैले बोल्‍दा त मेरो शोक कम हुँदैन । मैले बोल्न छाडें भने मलाई कसरी मदत हुन्छ?
Though I do speak, unassuaged is my stinging pain, —And, if I forbear, of what am I relieved?
7 तर हे परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंले मलाई थकित पार्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मेरा सबै परिवारलाई सर्वनाश पार्नुभएको छ ।
But, now, hath he wearied me, thou hast destroyed all my family;
8 तपाईंले मलाई सुक्खा पार्नुभएको छ, जसले मेरो विरुद्धमा साक्षी दिन्‍छ । मेरो शरीरको दुब्लोपन मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुन्छ, र यसले मेरो अनुहारको विरुद्धमा साक्षी दिन्छ ।
And, having captured me, it hath served, as a witness; and so my wasting away hath risen up against me, in my face, it answereth.
9 परमेश्‍वर क्रोधमा उहाँले मलाई टुक्रा पार्नुभएको, र मलाई सताउनुभएको छ । क्रोधमा उहाँले आफ्नो दाह्रा किट्नुहुन्छ । मेरो शत्रुले मलाई घुरेर हेर्नुहुन्छ ।
His anger, hath torn and persecuted me, He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth, Mine adversary, hath sharpened his eyes for me.
10 मानिसहरूले मलाई हेर्दै मुख खोलेर टोलाएका छन् । निन्दाले भरिएर तिनीहरूले मलाई गालामा थप्‍पड हानेका छन् । तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा एकसाथ भेला भएका छन्।
They have gaped upon me with their mouth, With reproach, have they smitten my cheek, Together, against me, have they closed their ranks.
11 परमेश्‍वरले मलाई ईश्‍वरहीन मानिसहरूका हातमा दिनुहुन्छ, र मलाई दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूका हातमा फाल्‍नुहुन्छ ।
GOD doth abandon me to him that is perverse, and, into the hands of the lawless, he throweth me headlong.
12 म चैनमा थिएँ, अनि उहाँले मलाई लुछ्नुभयो । वास्तवमा, उहाँले मलाई गलहत्त्‍याउनुभएको र टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो निसाना पनि बनाउनुभएको छ ।
At ease, was I when he shattered me, Yea he seized me by my neck, and dashed me in pieces, then set me up for himself as a mark:
13 उहाँका धनुर्धारीहरूले मेरो चारैतिर घेरा हाल्‍छन् । परमेश्‍वरले मेरा मिर्गौला छेड्नुहुन्छ, र मलाई छोड्‍नुहुन्‍न । उहाँले मेरो पित्त भुइँमा पोख्‍नुहुन्छ ।
His archers came round against me, He clave asunder my reins, and spared not, He poured out, on the earth, my gall:
14 उहाँले बारम्बार मेरो भित्तामा हिर्काउनुहुन्छ । एक जना लडाकुले झैं उहाँले मलाई झम्‍टिनुहुन्छ ।
He made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man.
15 आफ्‍नो शरीर ढाक्‍नलाई मैले भाङ्ग्रा सिएको छु । मैले आफ्‍नो टाउकोलाई भुइँमा गाडेको छु ।
Sackcloth, sewed I on my skin, and rolled—in the dust—my horn:
16 रुँदा-रुँदा मेरो अनुहार रातो भएको छ । मेरो आँखाको वरिपरि मृत्युको छाया छ,
My face, is reddened from weeping, and, upon mine eyelashes, is the death-shade: —
17 जबकि मेरा हातमा कुनै हिंसा छैन र मेरो प्रार्थना शुद्ध छ ।
Though no violence was in my hands, and, my prayer, was pure.
18 ए पृथ्वी, मेरो रगतलाई नछोप । मेरो रोदनले विश्राम नपाओस् ।
O earth! do not cover my blood, and let there be no place for mine outcry.
19 अहिले पनि मेरो साक्षी स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ । मलाई स्‍याबासी दिनुहुने उच्‍चमा हुनुहुन्छ ।
Even now, lo! in the heavens, is my witness,
20 मेरा मित्रहरूले मलाई खिसी गर्छन्, तर मेरो आँखाले परमेश्‍वरमा आँसु बगाउँछ ।
And, he that voucheth for me is on high. My friends are, they who scorn me, Unto GOD, hath mine eye shed tears: —
21 मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई गरेझैं, स्वर्गमा हुनुभएको त्यो साक्षीलाई यस मानिसको पक्षमा परमेश्‍वरसित बहस गरिदिन म बिन्‍ती गर्छु ।
That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, —Even a son of man, for his friend!
22 किनकि जब केही वर्ष बितेर जान्‍छ, तब म त्यस्तो ठाउँमा जानेछु, जहाँबाट म फर्कनेछैनँ ।
When, a few years, come, then, by a path by which I shall not return, shall I depart.
