< अय्यूब 17 >
1 मेरो आत्मा नाश पारिएको छ, र मेरो आयु सकिएको छ । चिहान मेरो लागि तयार छ ।
I perish, carried away by the wind, and I seek for burial, and obtain [it] not.
2 निश्चय नै गिल्ला गर्नेहरू मसितै छन् । मेरो आँखाले सधैं तिनीहरूको रिसलाई हेर्नुपर्छ ।
Weary I entreat; and what have I done? and strangers have stolen my goods.
3 मलाई धरौटी दिनुहोस् । तपाईं आफै मेरो जमानी हुनुहोस् । मलाई मदत गर्नलाई अरू को नै छ र?
Who is this? let him join hands with me.
4 किनकि हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयको समझलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसकारण तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुहुन्न ।
For you have hid their heart from wisdom; therefore you shall not exalt them.
5 इनामको लागि जसले आफ्नो मित्रहरूको बदनामी गर्छ, त्यसका छोराछोरीका आँखा कमजोर हुनेछन् ।
He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: but [their] eyes have failed for [their] children.
6 तर उहाँले मलाई मानिसहरूको उखान बनाउनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले मेरो मुखैमा थुक्छन् ।
But you has made me a byword amount the nations, and I am become a scorn to them.
7 शोकको कारण मेरो आँखा पनि धमिलो भएको छ । मेरो शरीरका सम्पूर्ण भाग छायाजत्तिकै सुकेका छन् ।
For my eyes are dimmed through pain; I have been grievously beset by all.
8 यसले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई अलमलमा पार्नेछन् । निर्दोष मानिसले आफैलाई ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा सुर्याउनेछ ।
Wonder has seized true men upon this; and let the just rise up against the transgressor.
9 धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्नेछ । शुद्ध हात भएकोचाहिं बलियो हुँदै जानेछ ।
But let the faithful hold on his own way, and let him that is pure of hands take courage.
10 तर तिमीहरू सबैले चाहिं फेरि कोसिस गर । तिमीहरूका बिचमा बुद्धिमान् मानिस मैले पाउनेछैनँ ।
Howbeit, do you all strengthen [yourselves] and come now, for I do not find truth in you.
11 मेरा दिन बितिसके । मेरा योजनाहरू चकनाचूर भए, अनि मेरो हृदयको इच्छा पनि त्यस्तै भयो ।
My days have passed in groaning, and my heart-strings are broken.
12 यी मानिसहरू, यी गिल्ला गर्नेले रातलाई दिनमा बद्लन्छन् । उज्यालो अँध्यारको नजिकै छ ।
I have turned the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13 मैले आशा गरेको घर पाताल मात्र हो भने, र अन्धकारमा मेरो ओछ्यान मैले बनाएको छु भने, (Sheol )
For if I remain, Hades is my habitation: and my bed has been made in darkness. (Sheol )
14 र मैले खाडललाई, 'तँ मेरो बुबा हो,' अनि किरालाई 'तँ मेरी आमा वा बहिनी' हो भनेको छु भने,
I have called upon death to be my father, and corruption [to be] my mother and sister.
15 तब मेरो आशा खोइ त? कसले मेरो निम्ति कुनै आशा देख्न सक्छ र?
Where then is yet my hope? or [where] shall I see my good?
16 जब हामी धूलोमा फर्कन्छौं, तब के मसँगै आशा पनि पातालका ढोकाहरूमा जानेछ र? (Sheol )
Will they go down with me to Hades, or shall we go down together to the tomb? (Sheol )
