1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Job answered,
2 “आज पनि मेरो गुनासो तितो छ । मेरो क्रन्दनको कारणले मेरो हात गह्रौं भएको छ ।
"Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of 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 set my cause in order 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 tell me.
6 उहाँले आफ्नो शक्तिको महान्‌तामा मेरो विरुद्धमा तर्क गर्नुहुन्छ? अहँ, बरु उहाँले मेरो कुरामा ध्यान दिनुहुन्छ ।
Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.
7 त्यहाँ सोझाहरूले उहाँसित बहस गर्न सक्छन् । यसरी मेरा न्यायकर्ताले मलाई सधैंभरि निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
8 हेर्नुहोस्, म पूर्वतिर जान्छु, उहाँ त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्‍न, अनि पश्‍चिमतिर जान्छु, तर म उहाँलाई भेट्‍न सक्‍दिन ।
"If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can't find 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 ।
He works to the north, but I can't see him. He turns south, but I can't catch a glimpse of 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 like gold.
11 मेरो खुट्टाले उहाँका पाइला पक्‍का गरी पछ्याएको छ । म उहाँको मार्गमा हिंडेको छु, र यताउता फर्केको छैनँ ।
My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.
12 उहाँको मुखबाट निस्केको आज्ञाबाट म फर्केको छैनँ । मेरो खानाको भागभन्‍दा बढी मैले उहाँको मुखका वचनहरूलाई सञ्चय गरेको छु ।
I haven't gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up 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 stands alone, and who can oppose him? 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 that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.
15 त्यसकारण, म उहाँको उपस्थितिमा त्रसित भएको छु । मैले उहाँको बारेमा विचार गर्दा म भयभीत हुन्छु ।
Therefore I am terrified 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 has made my heart faint. Shaddai has terrified me.
17 अन्धकारले, मेरो अनुहारको उदासीलाई ढाक्‍ने निस्पट्ट अन्धकारको कारणले, मेरो अन्‍त्‍य भएको छैन ।
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
