1 यसपछि अय्यूबले आफ्नो मुख खोले, र आफू जन्मेको दिनलाई सरापे ।
After thus he opened Job mouth his and he cursed day his.
2 तिनले भने,
And he answered Job and he said.
3 “म जन्मेको दिन नष्‍ट होस्, त्‍यो रात जसले भन्‍यो, 'एउटा बालकको गर्भधारण भएको छ ।'
Let it perish [the] day [which] I was born on it and the night [which] it said he has been conceived a man.
4 त्यो दिन अन्धकार होस् । परमेश्‍वरले माथिबाट त्‍यसलाई याद नगरून्, न त यसमा घाम लागोस् ।
The day that let it be darkness may not he care for it God above and may not it shine forth on it daylight.
5 अन्धकार र मृत्युको छायाले आफ्नो लागि यसलाई दाबी गरून् । यसमाथि बादल लागोस् । दिनलाई अँध्यारो बनाउने हरेक कुराले यसलाई साँच्‍चै त्रसित पारोस् ।
Let them reclaim it darkness and deep darkness let it settle down over it cloud let them terrify it [the] darkness of day.
6 निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोले त्यो रातलाई समातोस् । वर्षका दिनहरूका बिचमा यो नरमाओस् । महिनाहरूको गन्तीमा यसको गणना नहोस् ।
The night that let it take it darkness may not it rejoice among [the] days of [the] year in [the] number of [the] months may not it come.
7 हेर, त्यो रात बाँझो होस् । यसमा कुनै हर्षको सोर नआओस् ।
There! the night that let it be barren may not it come a cry of joy in it.
8 लिव्यातन्‌लाई कसरी ब्युँझाउने भनी जानेकाहरूले, त्यस दिनलाई सराप दिऊन् ।
Let them curse it cursers of a day the [ones] ready to rouse Leviathan.
9 त्यो दिनको बिहानका ताराहरू अँध्यारो होऊन् । त्यो दिनले ज्योति खोजोस्, तर नपाओस्, न त यसले मिरमरेको प्रथम किरणलाई देख्‍न पाओस् ।
Let them grow dark [the] stars of twilight its let it wait for light and not and may not it look on [the] eyelids of dawn.
10 किनभने यसले मेरी आमाको गर्भको ढोकालाई थुनेन, र किनभने यसले मेरा आँखाबाट कष्‍टलाई लुकाएन ।
For not it shut [the] doors of womb my and it hid trouble from eyes my.
11 मेरी आमाको गर्भबाट बाहिर निस्कँदा म किन मरिनँ? मेरी आमाले मलाई जन्माउँदा मैले आफ्‍नो आत्मा किन त्यागिनँ?
Why? not from [the] womb did I die from [the] belly I came forth and I may expire?
12 उनका घुँडाहरूले मलाई किन स्वागत गरे? मैले दूध चुस्‍नलाई उनका स्तनहरूले मलाई किन स्वीकार गरे?
Why? did they receive me knees and why? breasts that I will suckle.
13 किनकि अहिले म चुप लागेर बसिरहेको हुन्‍थें । म सुतेको हुन्‍थें, र विश्राममा हुन्‍थें,
For now I lay down and I may be at peace I slept then - it is at rest to me.
14 पृथ्वीका राजाहरू र सल्लाहकारहरूका साथमा, जसले आफ्नै लागि चिहानहरू बनाए, जुन अहिले ध्‍वस्‍त छन् ।
With kings and counselors of [the] earth the [ones who] rebuilt ruins for themselves.
15 अर्थात् ती राजकुमारहरूसित म सुतिरहेको हुन्‍थें, जससित कुनै बेला सुन थियो, जसले आफ्ना घरहरूलाई चाँदीले भरेका थिए ।
Or with princes [whom] gold [belonged] to them those [who] filled houses their silver.
16 अर्थात् सायद म तुहेर जन्‍मने थिएँ, कदापि उज्‍यालो नदेख्‍ने शिशुहरूझैं हुन्‍थें ।
Or like a miscarriage hidden not was I? like children [who] not they have seen light.
17 त्यहाँ दुष्‍टको अत्‍याचार सकिन्‍छ । त्यहाँ थाकितहरूले विश्राममा लिन्छन् ।
There wicked [people] they cease turmoil and there they rest weary [ones] of strength.
18 त्यहाँ कैदीहरू सँगसँगै चैनमा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले कमाराको नाइकेको सोर सुन्‍नुपर्दैन ।
Together prisoners they are at ease not they hear [the] voice of a taskmaster.
19 त्यहाँ साना र ठुला दुवै थरिका मानिसहरू छन् । नोकर आफ्नो मालिकबाट स्‍वतन्‍त्र हुन्छ ।
Small and great [is] there he and a slave [is] free from master his.
20 दुःखमा हुनेलाई किन ज्योति दिइन्छ? मनमा तितो हुनेलाई किन जीवन दिइन्छ?
Why? does someone give to a sufferer light and life to [people] bitter of soul.
21 जसले मृत्यु नै नआई त्‍यसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ, जसले गाड्धनभन्‍दा धेरै मृत्यको लागि खाडल खन्‍छ ।
Those [who] long for death and there not [is] it and they dug for it more than hidden treasures.
22 जसले चिहान फेला पार्दा ज्यादै रमाउँछ र खुसी हुन्छ, त्‍यसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
The joyful [people] to rejoicing they exult if they find [the] grave.
23 जसको मार्ग लुकाइएको छ, र जुन मानिसलाई परमेश्‍वरले छेक्‍नुभएको छ, त्यस मानिसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
To a man whom way his it is hidden and he has made inaccessible God behind him.
24 किनकि मैले खानुको साटो सुस्केरा हाल्छु । मेरो वेदनाको सोर पानीझैं पोखिन्छ ।
If before food my groaning my it comes and they poured forth like water cries of distress my.
25 जुन कुरोदेखि म डराउँथेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ । म जेदेखि भयभीत हुन्थेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ ।
For a fear I feared and it came to me and [that] which I dreaded it came to me.
26 म चैनमा छैनँ, म मौन छैनँ, र मलाई विश्राम छैन । बरु सङ्कष्‍ट आउँछ ।”
Not I am at ease - and not I am at peace and not I am at rest and it has come turmoil.
