अय्यूब 23
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Job replied again,
2 “आज पनि मेरो गुनासो तितो छ । मेरो क्रन्दनको कारणले मेरो हात गह्रौं भएको छ ।
“Today I am again complaining bitterly/strongly [to God]; I [continue] groaning, but he [SYN] [continues to] (punish me/cause me to suffer).
3 ओहो, उहाँलाई मैले कहाँ भेट्न सक्छु भनी मैले जानेको भए! ओहो, म उहाँको बासस्थानमा गएको भए!
I (wish that I knew/want to know) where I could meet/talk with him, so that I could go to the place where he lives.
4 उहाँको सामु म आफ्नो मुद्दालाई क्रमैसित राख्नेथिएँ, अनि मेरो मुखलाई तर्कले भर्नेथिएँ ।
If I could do that, I would tell him why [I know that] I am innocent; I would tell [MTY] to him all my (arguments/evidence [to show that I have not done what is evil]).
5 उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिएर भन्नुहुने वचनहरू म सिक्नेथिएँ, र उहाँले मलाई भन्नुहुने कुरा बुझ्नेथिएँ ।
Then I would find out what he would reply to me [DOU].
6 उहाँले आफ्नो शक्तिको महान्तामा मेरो विरुद्धमा तर्क गर्नुहुन्छ? अहँ, बरु उहाँले मेरो कुरामा ध्यान दिनुहुन्छ ।
Would he use his great power to argue with me? No, he would listen to me carefully.
7 त्यहाँ सोझाहरूले उहाँसित बहस गर्न सक्छन् । यसरी मेरा न्यायकर्ताले मलाई सधैंभरि निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुन्थ्यो ।
I am (an honest/a righteous) man; so I would be able to discuss things with him [fairly], and then he would declare that I am innocent, [and that decision would endure] forever.
8 हेर्नुहोस्, म पूर्वतिर जान्छु, उहाँ त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्न, अनि पश्चिमतिर जान्छु, तर म उहाँलाई भेट्न सक्दिन ।
“But, I have gone to the east, and he is not there; I have gone to the west, but I have not found him there.
9 उत्तरमा, जहाँ उहाँले काम गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, तर म उहाँलाई देख्न सक्दिनँ, र दक्षिणमा जहाँ उहाँले आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ, जसले गर्दा म उहाँलाई देख्न सक्दिनँ ।
I have gone north and I have gone south, but I have not seen him anywhere.
10 तर म हिंड्ने बाटो उहाँलाई थाहा छ । जब उहाँले मलाई जाँच्नुहुन्छ, तब म खारिएको सुनझैं हुनेछु ।
But he knows how I have conducted my life; and when he has finished testing me, [he] will [see that] I [am] as pure as [SIM] gold [whose impurities have all been burned out].
11 मेरो खुट्टाले उहाँका पाइला पक्का गरी पछ्याएको छ । म उहाँको मार्गमा हिंडेको छु, र यताउता फर्केको छैनँ ।
I [SYN] have faithfully walked on the path that he showed me; I have not stopped [obeying] him.
12 उहाँको मुखबाट निस्केको आज्ञाबाट म फर्केको छैनँ । मेरो खानाको भागभन्दा बढी मैले उहाँको मुखका वचनहरूलाई सञ्चय गरेको छु ।
I have always obeyed what he [SYN] commanded; I have treasured the words that he has spoken.
13 तर उहाँ बेग्लै किसिमको हुनुहुन्छ, कसले उहाँलाई फर्काउन सक्छ र? उहाँले जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ, सो गर्नुहुन्छ ।
“He never changes. There is no one who can [RHQ] stop him [from doing what he desires]. Whatever he wants to do, he does.
14 किनकि मेरो विरुद्धमा भएको उहाँको आदेशलाई उहाँले पूरा गर्नुहुन्छ । त्यस्ता कुराहरू त्यहाँ धेरै छन् ।
And he will finish doing for me the things that he has planned for me; [and I am sure that] he has thought about doing many things for me.
15 त्यसकारण, म उहाँको उपस्थितिमा त्रसित भएको छु । मैले उहाँको बारेमा विचार गर्दा म भयभीत हुन्छु ।
So I am terrified in his presence; when I think [about what he can do], I am very afraid [DOU].
16 किनकि परमेश्वरले मेरो हृदय कमजोर पार्नुभएको छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्ले मलाई त्रसित पार्नुभएको छ ।
Almighty God has caused me [SYN] to feel terrified [DOU].
17 अन्धकारले, मेरो अनुहारको उदासीलाई ढाक्ने निस्पट्ट अन्धकारको कारणले, मेरो अन्त्य भएको छैन ।
[It is as though] there is only thick darkness in front of me, but it is God that I am afraid of, not the darkness.”
