अय्यूब 23
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Job answered and said,
2 “आज पनि मेरो गुनासो तितो छ । मेरो क्रन्दनको कारणले मेरो हात गह्रौं भएको छ ।
Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 ओहो, उहाँलाई मैले कहाँ भेट्न सक्छु भनी मैले जानेको भए! ओहो, म उहाँको बासस्थानमा गएको भए!
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
4 उहाँको सामु म आफ्नो मुद्दालाई क्रमैसित राख्नेथिएँ, अनि मेरो मुखलाई तर्कले भर्नेथिएँ ।
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिएर भन्नुहुने वचनहरू म सिक्नेथिएँ, र उहाँले मलाई भन्नुहुने कुरा बुझ्नेथिएँ ।
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
6 उहाँले आफ्नो शक्तिको महान्तामा मेरो विरुद्धमा तर्क गर्नुहुन्छ? अहँ, बरु उहाँले मेरो कुरामा ध्यान दिनुहुन्छ ।
Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
7 त्यहाँ सोझाहरूले उहाँसित बहस गर्न सक्छन् । यसरी मेरा न्यायकर्ताले मलाई सधैंभरि निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुन्थ्यो ।
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8 हेर्नुहोस्, म पूर्वतिर जान्छु, उहाँ त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्न, अनि पश्चिमतिर जान्छु, तर म उहाँलाई भेट्न सक्दिन ।
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9 उत्तरमा, जहाँ उहाँले काम गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, तर म उहाँलाई देख्न सक्दिनँ, र दक्षिणमा जहाँ उहाँले आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ, जसले गर्दा म उहाँलाई देख्न सक्दिनँ ।
On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 तर म हिंड्ने बाटो उहाँलाई थाहा छ । जब उहाँले मलाई जाँच्नुहुन्छ, तब म खारिएको सुनझैं हुनेछु ।
But he knows the way that I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 मेरो खुट्टाले उहाँका पाइला पक्का गरी पछ्याएको छ । म उहाँको मार्गमा हिंडेको छु, र यताउता फर्केको छैनँ ।
My foot has held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 उहाँको मुखबाट निस्केको आज्ञाबाट म फर्केको छैनँ । मेरो खानाको भागभन्दा बढी मैले उहाँको मुखका वचनहरूलाई सञ्चय गरेको छु ।
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 तर उहाँ बेग्लै किसिमको हुनुहुन्छ, कसले उहाँलाई फर्काउन सक्छ र? उहाँले जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ, सो गर्नुहुन्छ ।
But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does.
14 किनकि मेरो विरुद्धमा भएको उहाँको आदेशलाई उहाँले पूरा गर्नुहुन्छ । त्यस्ता कुराहरू त्यहाँ धेरै छन् ।
For he performs the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
15 त्यसकारण, म उहाँको उपस्थितिमा त्रसित भएको छु । मैले उहाँको बारेमा विचार गर्दा म भयभीत हुन्छु ।
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 किनकि परमेश्वरले मेरो हृदय कमजोर पार्नुभएको छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्ले मलाई त्रसित पार्नुभएको छ ।
For God makes my heart soft, and the Almighty troubles me:
17 अन्धकारले, मेरो अनुहारको उदासीलाई ढाक्ने निस्पट्ट अन्धकारको कारणले, मेरो अन्त्य भएको छैन ।
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither has he covered the darkness from my face.
