1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then responded Job, and said: —
2 “आज पनि मेरो गुनासो तितो छ । मेरो क्रन्दनको कारणले मेरो हात गह्रौं भएको छ ।
Even to-day, is my complaint rebellion? His hand, 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! I would come even unto his dwelling-place;
4 उहाँको सामु म आफ्‍नो मुद्दालाई क्रमैसित राख्‍नेथिएँ, अनि मेरो मुखलाई तर्कले भर्नेथिएँ ।
I would set out, before him, a plea, and, my mouth, would I fill with arguments;
5 उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिएर भन्‍नुहुने वचनहरू म सिक्‍नेथिएँ, र उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुहुने कुरा बुझ्नेथिएँ ।
I would note the words wherewith he would respond to me, and would mark what he would say to me.
6 उहाँले आफ्नो शक्तिको महान्‌तामा मेरो विरुद्धमा तर्क गर्नुहुन्छ? अहँ, बरु उहाँले मेरो कुरामा ध्यान दिनुहुन्छ ।
Would he, with fulness of might, contend with me? Nay, surely, he, would give heed to me!
7 त्यहाँ सोझाहरूले उहाँसित बहस गर्न सक्छन् । यसरी मेरा न्यायकर्ताले मलाई सधैंभरि निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
There an upright man, might reason with him, so should I deliver myself completely from my judge.
8 हेर्नुहोस्, म पूर्वतिर जान्छु, उहाँ त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्‍न, अनि पश्‍चिमतिर जान्छु, तर म उहाँलाई भेट्‍न सक्‍दिन ।
Behold! eastward, I go, but he is not there, and, westward, but I perceive him not;
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 north, where he worketh, but I get no vision, He hideth himself on the south that I cannot see him.
10 तर म हिंड्‍ने बाटो उहाँलाई थाहा छ । जब उहाँले मलाई जाँच्नुहुन्‍छ, तब म खारिएको सुनझैं हुनेछु ।
But, he, knoweth the way that I choose, Having tried me, as gold, I shall come forth.
11 मेरो खुट्टाले उहाँका पाइला पक्‍का गरी पछ्याएको छ । म उहाँको मार्गमा हिंडेको छु, र यताउता फर्केको छैनँ ।
Of his steps, my foot taketh hold, His way, have I kept, and not swerved;
12 उहाँको मुखबाट निस्केको आज्ञाबाट म फर्केको छैनँ । मेरो खानाको भागभन्‍दा बढी मैले उहाँको मुखका वचनहरूलाई सञ्चय गरेको छु ।
The command of his lips, and would not go back, and, in my bosom, have I treasured the words of his lips.
13 तर उहाँ बेग्‍लै किसिमको हुनुहुन्छ, कसले उहाँलाई फर्काउन सक्छ र? उहाँले जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ, सो गर्नुहुन्छ ।
But, he, is one, and who can turn him? What his soul desired, he hath done.
14 किनकि मेरो विरुद्धमा भएको उहाँको आदेशलाई उहाँले पूरा गर्नुहुन्छ । त्‍यस्ता कुराहरू त्‍यहाँ धेरै छन् ।
Surely he will accomplish what is decreed for me, and, many such things, hath he in store.
15 त्यसकारण, म उहाँको उपस्थितिमा त्रसित भएको छु । मैले उहाँको बारेमा विचार गर्दा म भयभीत हुन्छु ।
For this cause, from his presence, am I driven in fear, I diligently consider and am kept back from him in dread:
16 किनकि परमेश्‍वरले मेरो हृदय कमजोर पार्नुभएको छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ले मलाई त्रसित पार्नुभएको छ ।
Yea, GOD, hath made timid my heart, and, the Almighty, hath put me in terror.
17 अन्धकारले, मेरो अनुहारको उदासीलाई ढाक्‍ने निस्पट्ट अन्धकारको कारणले, मेरो अन्‍त्‍य भएको छैन ।
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, nor, before my face, did the gloom form a shroud.
