< अय्यूब 17 >
1 मेरो आत्मा नाश पारिएको छ, र मेरो आयु सकिएको छ । चिहान मेरो लागि तयार छ ।
My breath is exhausted; My days are at an end; The grave is ready for me.
2 निश्चय नै गिल्ला गर्नेहरू मसितै छन् । मेरो आँखाले सधैं तिनीहरूको रिसलाई हेर्नुपर्छ ।
Are not revilers before me? And doth not my eye dwell upon their provocations?
3 मलाई धरौटी दिनुहोस् । तपाईं आफै मेरो जमानी हुनुहोस् । मलाई मदत गर्नलाई अरू को नै छ र?
Give a pledge, I pray thee; be thou a surety for me with thee; Who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 किनकि हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयको समझलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसकारण तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुहुन्न ।
Behold, thou hast blinded their understanding; Therefore thou wilt not suffer them to prevail.
5 इनामको लागि जसले आफ्नो मित्रहरूको बदनामी गर्छ, त्यसका छोराछोरीका आँखा कमजोर हुनेछन् ।
He who delivereth up his friends as a prey, —The eyes of his children shall fail.
6 तर उहाँले मलाई मानिसहरूको उखान बनाउनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले मेरो मुखैमा थुक्छन् ।
He made me the by-word of the people; Yea, I have become their abhorrence.
7 शोकको कारण मेरो आँखा पनि धमिलो भएको छ । मेरो शरीरका सम्पूर्ण भाग छायाजत्तिकै सुकेका छन् ।
My eye therefore is dim with sorrow, And all my limbs are as a shadow.
8 यसले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई अलमलमा पार्नेछन् । निर्दोष मानिसले आफैलाई ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा सुर्याउनेछ ।
Upright men will be astonished at this, And the innocent will rouse themselves against the wicked.
9 धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्नेछ । शुद्ध हात भएकोचाहिं बलियो हुँदै जानेछ ।
The righteous will also hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands will gather strength.
10 तर तिमीहरू सबैले चाहिं फेरि कोसिस गर । तिमीहरूका बिचमा बुद्धिमान् मानिस मैले पाउनेछैनँ ।
But as for you all, return, I pray! I find not yet among you one wise man.
11 मेरा दिन बितिसके । मेरा योजनाहरू चकनाचूर भए, अनि मेरो हृदयको इच्छा पनि त्यस्तै भयो ।
My days are at an end; My plans are broken off; Even the treasures of my heart.
12 यी मानिसहरू, यी गिल्ला गर्नेले रातलाई दिनमा बद्लन्छन् । उज्यालो अँध्यारको नजिकै छ ।
Night hath become day to me; The light bordereth on darkness.
13 मैले आशा गरेको घर पाताल मात्र हो भने, र अन्धकारमा मेरो ओछ्यान मैले बनाएको छु भने, (Sheol )
Yea, I look to the grave as my home; I have made my bed in darkness. (Sheol )
14 र मैले खाडललाई, 'तँ मेरो बुबा हो,' अनि किरालाई 'तँ मेरी आमा वा बहिनी' हो भनेको छु भने,
I say to the pit, Thou art my father! And to the worm, My mother! and, My sister!
15 तब मेरो आशा खोइ त? कसले मेरो निम्ति कुनै आशा देख्न सक्छ र?
Where then is my hope? Yea, my hope, who shall see it?
16 जब हामी धूलोमा फर्कन्छौं, तब के मसँगै आशा पनि पातालका ढोकाहरूमा जानेछ र? (Sheol )
It must go down to the bars of the under-world, As soon as there is rest for me in the dust. (Sheol )
