1 मेरो आत्मा नाश पारिएको छ, र मेरो आयु सकिएको छ । चिहान मेरो लागि तयार छ ।
My spirit is crushed; my life is extinguished; the grave is ready for me.
2 निश्‍चय नै गिल्ला गर्नेहरू मसितै छन् । मेरो आँखाले सधैं तिनीहरूको रिसलाई हेर्नुपर्छ ।
Mockers surround me. I see how bitterly they ridicule me.
3 मलाई धरौटी दिनुहोस् । तपाईं आफै मेरो जमानी हुनुहोस् । मलाई मदत गर्नलाई अरू को नै छ र?
God, you need to put down a pledge for me with yourself, for who else will be my guarantor?
4 किनकि हे परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयको समझलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसकारण तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुहुन्‍न ।
You have closed their minds to understanding, so do not let them win!
5 इनामको लागि जसले आफ्नो मित्रहरूको बदनामी गर्छ, त्यसका छोराछोरीका आँखा कमजोर हुनेछन् ।
They betray friends to gain benefit for themselves and their children suffer for it.
6 तर उहाँले मलाई मानिसहरूको उखान बनाउनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले मेरो मुखैमा थुक्छन् ।
He has made me a proverb of ridicule among the people; they spit in my face.
7 शोकको कारण मेरो आँखा पनि धमिलो भएको छ । मेरो शरीरका सम्पूर्ण भाग छायाजत्तिकै सुकेका छन् ।
My eyes are worn out from crying and my body is a shadow of its former self.
8 यसले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई अलमलमा पार्नेछन् । निर्दोष मानिसले आफैलाई ईश्‍वरहीन मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा सुर्‍याउनेछ ।
People who think they are good are shocked to see me. Those who are innocent are troubled by the godless.
9 धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्नेछ । शुद्ध हात भएकोचाहिं बलियो हुँदै जानेछ ।
Those who are right keep going, and those whose hands are clean grow stronger and stronger.
10 तर तिमीहरू सबैले चाहिं फेरि कोसिस गर । तिमीहरूका बिचमा बुद्धिमान् मानिस मैले पाउनेछैनँ ।
Why don't you come back and repeat again what you've been saying?—yet I still won't find a wise man among you!
11 मेरा दिन बितिसके । मेरा योजनाहरू चकनाचूर भए, अनि मेरो हृदयको इच्छा पनि त्‍यस्‍तै भयो ।
My life is over. My plans are gone. My heart is broken.
12 यी मानिसहरू, यी गिल्ला गर्नेले रातलाई दिनमा बद्लन्‍छन् । उज्यालो अँध्यारको नजिकै छ ।
They turn night into day, and say that daylight is close to darkness.
13 मैले आशा गरेको घर पाताल मात्र हो भने, र अन्धकारमा मेरो ओछ्यान मैले बनाएको छु भने, (Sheol h7585)
What am I looking for? To make my home in Sheol, to make my bed in darkness? (Sheol h7585)
14 र मैले खाडललाई, 'तँ मेरो बुबा हो,' अनि किरालाई 'तँ मेरी आमा वा बहिनी' हो भनेको छु भने,
Should I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister?
15 तब मेरो आशा खोइ त? कसले मेरो निम्ति कुनै आशा देख्‍न सक्‍छ र?
So then where is my hope? Can anyone see any hope for me?
16 जब हामी धूलोमा फर्कन्‍छौं, तब के मसँगै आशा पनि पातालका ढोकाहरूमा जानेछ र? (Sheol h7585)
Will hope go down with me to the gates of Sheol? Will we go down together into the dust?” (Sheol h7585)
