1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Job answered,
2 “धेरै यस्ता कुराहरू मैले सुनेको छु । सान्‍वना दिने तपाईंहरू सबैले दुःख दिनुहुन्छ ।
“I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3 के व्यर्थका शब्दहरू कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुन्‍छन् कि? तपाईंहरूलाई के भयो जसले गर्दा तपाईंहरू यसरी जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ?
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
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 could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5 मेरो मुखले तपाईंहरूलाई बलियो पार्थें, र मेरो ओठको बरबरले तपाईंहरूलाई राहत ल्याउँथें ।
but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6 मैले बोल्‍दा त मेरो शोक कम हुँदैन । मैले बोल्न छाडें भने मलाई कसरी मदत हुन्छ?
“Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 तर हे परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंले मलाई थकित पार्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मेरा सबै परिवारलाई सर्वनाश पार्नुभएको छ ।
But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.
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 ।
You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
9 परमेश्‍वर क्रोधमा उहाँले मलाई टुक्रा पार्नुभएको, र मलाई सताउनुभएको छ । क्रोधमा उहाँले आफ्नो दाह्रा किट्नुहुन्छ । मेरो शत्रुले मलाई घुरेर हेर्नुहुन्छ ।
He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on 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 on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
11 परमेश्‍वरले मलाई ईश्‍वरहीन मानिसहरूका हातमा दिनुहुन्छ, र मलाई दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूका हातमा फाल्‍नुहुन्छ ।
God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 म चैनमा थिएँ, अनि उहाँले मलाई लुछ्नुभयो । वास्तवमा, उहाँले मलाई गलहत्त्‍याउनुभएको र टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो निसाना पनि बनाउनुभएको छ ।
I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13 उहाँका धनुर्धारीहरूले मेरो चारैतिर घेरा हाल्‍छन् । परमेश्‍वरले मेरा मिर्गौला छेड्नुहुन्छ, र मलाई छोड्‍नुहुन्‍न । उहाँले मेरो पित्त भुइँमा पोख्‍नुहुन्छ ।
His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
14 उहाँले बारम्बार मेरो भित्तामा हिर्काउनुहुन्छ । एक जना लडाकुले झैं उहाँले मलाई झम्‍टिनुहुन्छ ।
He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.
15 आफ्‍नो शरीर ढाक्‍नलाई मैले भाङ्ग्रा सिएको छु । मैले आफ्‍नो टाउकोलाई भुइँमा गाडेको छु ।
I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
16 रुँदा-रुँदा मेरो अनुहार रातो भएको छ । मेरो आँखाको वरिपरि मृत्युको छाया छ,
My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
17 जबकि मेरा हातमा कुनै हिंसा छैन र मेरो प्रार्थना शुद्ध छ ।
although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 ए पृथ्वी, मेरो रगतलाई नछोप । मेरो रोदनले विश्राम नपाओस् ।
“Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
19 अहिले पनि मेरो साक्षी स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ । मलाई स्‍याबासी दिनुहुने उच्‍चमा हुनुहुन्छ ।
Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
20 मेरा मित्रहरूले मलाई खिसी गर्छन्, तर मेरो आँखाले परमेश्‍वरमा आँसु बगाउँछ ।
My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
21 मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई गरेझैं, स्वर्गमा हुनुभएको त्यो साक्षीलाई यस मानिसको पक्षमा परमेश्‍वरसित बहस गरिदिन म बिन्‍ती गर्छु ।
that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
22 किनकि जब केही वर्ष बितेर जान्‍छ, तब म त्यस्तो ठाउँमा जानेछु, जहाँबाट म फर्कनेछैनँ ।
For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
