अय्यूब 3
1 यसपछि अय्यूबले आफ्नो मुख खोले, र आफू जन्मेको दिनलाई सरापे ।
After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 तिनले भने,
And Job spake, and said,
3 “म जन्मेको दिन नष्ट होस्, त्यो रात जसले भन्यो, 'एउटा बालकको गर्भधारण भएको छ ।'
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which] it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 त्यो दिन अन्धकार होस् । परमेश्वरले माथिबाट त्यसलाई याद नगरून्, न त यसमा घाम लागोस् ।
Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5 अन्धकार र मृत्युको छायाले आफ्नो लागि यसलाई दाबी गरून् । यसमाथि बादल लागोस् । दिनलाई अँध्यारो बनाउने हरेक कुराले यसलाई साँच्चै त्रसित पारोस् ।
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोले त्यो रातलाई समातोस् । वर्षका दिनहरूका बिचमा यो नरमाओस् । महिनाहरूको गन्तीमा यसको गणना नहोस् ।
As [for] that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7 हेर, त्यो रात बाँझो होस् । यसमा कुनै हर्षको सोर नआओस् ।
Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8 लिव्यातन्लाई कसरी ब्युँझाउने भनी जानेकाहरूले, त्यस दिनलाई सराप दिऊन् ।
Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9 त्यो दिनको बिहानका ताराहरू अँध्यारो होऊन् । त्यो दिनले ज्योति खोजोस्, तर नपाओस्, न त यसले मिरमरेको प्रथम किरणलाई देख्न पाओस् ।
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but [have] none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10 किनभने यसले मेरी आमाको गर्भको ढोकालाई थुनेन, र किनभने यसले मेरा आँखाबाट कष्टलाई लुकाएन ।
Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother’s] womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
11 मेरी आमाको गर्भबाट बाहिर निस्कँदा म किन मरिनँ? मेरी आमाले मलाई जन्माउँदा मैले आफ्नो आत्मा किन त्यागिनँ?
Why died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12 उनका घुँडाहरूले मलाई किन स्वागत गरे? मैले दूध चुस्नलाई उनका स्तनहरूले मलाई किन स्वीकार गरे?
Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13 किनकि अहिले म चुप लागेर बसिरहेको हुन्थें । म सुतेको हुन्थें, र विश्राममा हुन्थें,
For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 पृथ्वीका राजाहरू र सल्लाहकारहरूका साथमा, जसले आफ्नै लागि चिहानहरू बनाए, जुन अहिले ध्वस्त छन् ।
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
15 अर्थात् ती राजकुमारहरूसित म सुतिरहेको हुन्थें, जससित कुनै बेला सुन थियो, जसले आफ्ना घरहरूलाई चाँदीले भरेका थिए ।
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 अर्थात् सायद म तुहेर जन्मने थिएँ, कदापि उज्यालो नदेख्ने शिशुहरूझैं हुन्थें ।
Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants [which] never saw light.
17 त्यहाँ दुष्टको अत्याचार सकिन्छ । त्यहाँ थाकितहरूले विश्राममा लिन्छन् ।
There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 त्यहाँ कैदीहरू सँगसँगै चैनमा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले कमाराको नाइकेको सोर सुन्नुपर्दैन ।
[There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 त्यहाँ साना र ठुला दुवै थरिका मानिसहरू छन् । नोकर आफ्नो मालिकबाट स्वतन्त्र हुन्छ ।
The small and great are there; and the servant [is] free from his master.
20 दुःखमा हुनेलाई किन ज्योति दिइन्छ? मनमा तितो हुनेलाई किन जीवन दिइन्छ?
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] soul;
21 जसले मृत्यु नै नआई त्यसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ, जसले गाड्धनभन्दा धेरै मृत्यको लागि खाडल खन्छ ।
Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22 जसले चिहान फेला पार्दा ज्यादै रमाउँछ र खुसी हुन्छ, त्यसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 जसको मार्ग लुकाइएको छ, र जुन मानिसलाई परमेश्वरले छेक्नुभएको छ, त्यस मानिसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24 किनकि मैले खानुको साटो सुस्केरा हाल्छु । मेरो वेदनाको सोर पानीझैं पोखिन्छ ।
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25 जुन कुरोदेखि म डराउँथेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ । म जेदेखि भयभीत हुन्थेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ ।
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26 म चैनमा छैनँ, म मौन छैनँ, र मलाई विश्राम छैन । बरु सङ्कष्ट आउँछ ।”
I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
