अय्यूब 19
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Job answered and said,
2 “कहिलेसम्म तपाईंहरूले मलाई दुःख दिनुहुन्छ, र वचनले मलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पार्नुहुन्छ?
How long will you vex my soul, and destroy me with words? only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus.
3 यी दस पटक तपाईंहरूले मेरो अपमान गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंहरूले मलाई कठोरतापूर्वक व्यवहार गरे पनि तपाईंहरू लाज मान्नुहुन्न ।
You speak against me; you do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me.
4 मैले गल्ती गरेको कुरा वास्तवमा साँचो हो भने, मेरो गल्ती मेरो आफ्नै सरोकारको कुरो हो ।
Yes verily, I have erred in truth, (but the error abides with myself) in having spoken words which it was not right [to speak]; and my words err, and are unreasonable.
5 तपाईंहरूले आफूलाई मभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुहुन्छ, र मेरो तुच्छता मेरै विरुद्धमा प्रयोग गर्नुहुन्छ भने,
But alas! for you magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach.
6 तब तपाईंहरूले जान्नुपर्छ, परमेश्वरले मेरो हानि गर्नुभएको र मलाई आफ्नो पासोमा पार्नुभएको छ।
Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled [me], and has raised his bulwark against me.
7 हेर्नुहोस्, “हिंसा” भनेर म कराउँछु, तर मैले जवाफ पाउँदिन । मदतको लागि म पुकार्छु, तर त्यहाँ निष्पक्ष व्यवहार हुँदैन ।
Behold, I laugh at reproach; I will not speak: [or] I will cry out, but [there is] nowhere judgment.
8 मेरो बाटोमा उहाँले पर्खाल लगाउनुभएको छ, यसैले म जान सक्दिनँ, अनि उहाँले मेरो मार्गमा अन्धकार राख्नुभएको छ ।
I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness before my face.
9 उहाँले मेरो महिमा हटाउनुभएको छ, र उहाँले मेरो शिरको मुकुट हटाउनुभएको छ ।
And he has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head.
10 उहाँले मलाई चारैतिरबाट चूर पार्नुभएको छ, र लोप हुन्छ, उहाँले मेरो आशा रूखलाई झैं उखेल्नुभएको छ ।
He has torn me around about, and I am gone: and he has cut off my hope like a tree.
11 उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा आफ्नो क्रोध पनि दन्काउनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्ना शत्रुहरूमध्ये एक ठान्नुहुन्छ ।
And he has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy.
12 उहाँका फौजहरू सँगसँगै आउँछन् । तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा घेरा लगाउँछन्, र मेरो पालको चारैतिर छाउनी हाल्छन् ।
His troops also came upon me with one accord, liars in wait compassed my ways.
13 उहाँले मेरा दाजुभाइलाई मबाट टाढा राख्नुभएको छ । मैले चिनजानकाहरू मबाट बिलकुल अलग रहन्छन् ।
My brethren have stood aloof from me; they have recognized strangers [rather] than me: and my friends have become pitiless.
14 मेरा आफन्तहरू मबाट पछि हटेका छन् । मेरो घनिष्ठ मित्रहरूले मलाई बिर्सेका छन् ।
My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name, have forgotten me.
15 मेरो घरमा कुनै बेला पाहुना भएर रहेकाहरू र दासीहरूले मलाई बिरोनो ठान्छन् । तिनीहरूको दृष्टिमा म अनौठो भएको छु ।
[As for] my household, and my maidservants, I was a stranger before them.
16 म आफ्नो सेवकलाई बोलाउँछु, तर उसले मलाई जवाफ दिंदैन । मैले आफ्नै मुखले त्यसलाई बिन्ती गर्छु ।
I called my servant, and he listened not; and my mouth entreated [him].
17 मेरो सास मेरी पत्नीलाई दुर्गन्धित लाग्छ । मेरै आमाको गर्भबाट जन्मेकाहरूले पनि मलाई घृणा गर्छन् ।
And I implored my wife, and earnestly entreated the sons of my concubines.
18 सा-साना केटाकेटीले पनि मलाई तिरस्कार गर्छन् । म बोल्नलाई उठ्दा तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा बोल्छन् ।
But they rejected me for ever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me.
19 मेरा सबै परिचित मित्रहरूले मलाई घृणा गर्छन् । मैले प्रेम गरेकाहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा लागेका छन् ।
They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me.
20 मेरा हड्डीहरू मेरो छाला र मासुमा टाँसिन्छन् । म आफ्ना दाँतको छालाले मात्र बाँचेको छु ।
My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in [my] teeth.
21 मलाई दया गर्नुहोस्, हे मेरा मित्रहरू हो, मलाई दया गर्नुहोस्, किनकि परमेश्वरको हातले मलाई छोएको छ ।
Pity me, pity me, O friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me.
22 परमेश्वरले झैं तपाईंहरू किन मेरो खेदो गर्नुहुन्छ? मेरो शरीरले तपाईंहरूलाई कहिल्यै सन्तुष्ट पार्छ र?
Therefore do you persecute me as also the Lord [does], and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 ओहो, मेरो वचनहरू यति बेला लेखिए त! ओहो, ती एउटा पुस्तकमा लेखिए त!
For oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book forever,
24 ओहो, फलामको कलम र छिनोले, सदाको लागि ती चट्टानमा खोपे त!
with an iron pen and lead, or graven in the rocks!
25 तर मेरो बारेमा, मेरा उद्धारक जिउँदो हुनुहुन्छ, र अन्त्यमा उहाँ पृथ्वीमा खडा रहनुहुनेछ ।
For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me,
26 मेरो शरीरको छाला, अर्थात् शरीर पूरै गलेपछि, मेरो शरीरमा नै म परमेश्वरलाई देख्नेछु ।
[and] to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these [sufferings]: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord;
27 मेरा आफ्नै आँखाले— अरू कसैको होइन म आफैंले उहाँलाई देख्नेछु । मेरो हृदय मभित्रै विह्वल बन्छ ।
which I am conscious of in myself, which mine eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in [my] bosom.
28 तपाईंहरूले यसो भन्नुहुन्छ भने, 'हामी उसलाई कसरी सताउँ! उसको सङ्कष्टको जड ऊ आफै हो,'
But if you shall also say, What shall we say before him, and [so] find the root of the matter in him?
29 तब तरवारदेखि डराउनुहोस्, किनकि क्रोधले तरवारको दण्ड ल्याउँछ, यसरी न्याय हुन्छ भनी तपाईंहरूले जान्नुहुनेछ ।”
Do you also beware of deceit: for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their substance is.
