अय्यूब 3
1 यसपछि अय्यूबले आफ्नो मुख खोले, र आफू जन्मेको दिनलाई सरापे ।
Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
2 तिनले भने,
He said,
3 “म जन्मेको दिन नष्ट होस्, त्यो रात जसले भन्यो, 'एउटा बालकको गर्भधारण भएको छ ।'
“I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.
4 त्यो दिन अन्धकार होस् । परमेश्वरले माथिबाट त्यसलाई याद नगरून्, न त यसमा घाम लागोस् ।
I wish that the day when I was born would have been covered in darkness. I wish that God who is in heaven [MTY] would have forgotten about that day, and that the sun would not have shone on it.
5 अन्धकार र मृत्युको छायाले आफ्नो लागि यसलाई दाबी गरून् । यसमाथि बादल लागोस् । दिनलाई अँध्यारो बनाउने हरेक कुराले यसलाई साँच्चै त्रसित पारोस् ।
I wish that thick/intense darkness would have filled that day, and that a black cloud would have come over it and blotted out all light and caused people to be terrified.
6 निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोले त्यो रातलाई समातोस् । वर्षका दिनहरूका बिचमा यो नरमाओस् । महिनाहरूको गन्तीमा यसको गणना नहोस् ।
I wish that the night when I was conceived would be erased from the calendar, with the result that it would never again appear as one night in any month, and that it would not be included in any calendar.
7 हेर, त्यो रात बाँझो होस् । यसमा कुनै हर्षको सोर नआओस् ।
I wish that no child would again be conceived on that night of the month [MET], and that no one would again be happy on that night.
8 लिव्यातन्लाई कसरी ब्युँझाउने भनी जानेकाहरूले, त्यस दिनलाई सराप दिऊन् ।
I want those people who (curse/put evil spells on) days—those who know how to arouse/awaken the great sea monster—to curse that day.
9 त्यो दिनको बिहानका ताराहरू अँध्यारो होऊन् । त्यो दिनले ज्योति खोजोस्, तर नपाओस्, न त यसले मिरमरेको प्रथम किरणलाई देख्न पाओस् ।
I wish that the stars that shone early in the morning on that day [after I was conceived] will not shine again. I want those stars to have wished in vain for light to shine; and that they would not have shone on that day.
10 किनभने यसले मेरी आमाको गर्भको ढोकालाई थुनेन, र किनभने यसले मेरा आँखाबाट कष्टलाई लुकाएन ।
[That was an evil day] because my mother was able to conceive; instead, I was born, and I have now experienced all these terrible things.
11 मेरी आमाको गर्भबाट बाहिर निस्कँदा म किन मरिनँ? मेरी आमाले मलाई जन्माउँदा मैले आफ्नो आत्मा किन त्यागिनँ?
“I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
12 उनका घुँडाहरूले मलाई किन स्वागत गरे? मैले दूध चुस्नलाई उनका स्तनहरूले मलाई किन स्वीकार गरे?
I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
13 किनकि अहिले म चुप लागेर बसिरहेको हुन्थें । म सुतेको हुन्थें, र विश्राममा हुन्थें,
If I had died at the time when I was born, I would be asleep, resting peacefully [in the place where the dead people are].
14 पृथ्वीका राजाहरू र सल्लाहकारहरूका साथमा, जसले आफ्नै लागि चिहानहरू बनाए, जुन अहिले ध्वस्त छन् ।
I would be resting with kings whose [beautiful palaces] that they built are now in ruins (OR, who rebuilt [palaces] that had previously been destroyed), and I would be resting with their officials [who have also died].
15 अर्थात् ती राजकुमारहरूसित म सुतिरहेको हुन्थें, जससित कुनै बेला सुन थियो, जसले आफ्ना घरहरूलाई चाँदीले भरेका थिए ।
I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
16 अर्थात् सायद म तुहेर जन्मने थिएँ, कदापि उज्यालो नदेख्ने शिशुहरूझैं हुन्थें ।
I wish that I had been buried like a child who died in its mother’s womb and never lived to see the light.
17 त्यहाँ दुष्टको अत्याचार सकिन्छ । त्यहाँ थाकितहरूले विश्राममा लिन्छन् ।
After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
18 त्यहाँ कैदीहरू सँगसँगै चैनमा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले कमाराको नाइकेको सोर सुन्नुपर्दैन ।
Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
19 त्यहाँ साना र ठुला दुवै थरिका मानिसहरू छन् । नोकर आफ्नो मालिकबाट स्वतन्त्र हुन्छ ।
Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
20 दुःखमा हुनेलाई किन ज्योति दिइन्छ? मनमा तितो हुनेलाई किन जीवन दिइन्छ?
(“Why does God allow those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive?/I do not understand why God allows those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive.) [RHQ] Why does he allow those who are very miserable/distressed to keep living [RHQ]?
21 जसले मृत्यु नै नआई त्यसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ, जसले गाड्धनभन्दा धेरै मृत्यको लागि खाडल खन्छ ।
They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
22 जसले चिहान फेला पार्दा ज्यादै रमाउँछ र खुसी हुन्छ, त्यसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
23 जसको मार्ग लुकाइएको छ, र जुन मानिसलाई परमेश्वरले छेक्नुभएको छ, त्यस मानिसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
Those who do not know where they are [eventually] going when they die [RHQ], people whom God has forced [MET] to continue to live in misery, (it is not right that they continue to live./why do they continue to live?) [RHQ]
24 किनकि मैले खानुको साटो सुस्केरा हाल्छु । मेरो वेदनाको सोर पानीझैं पोखिन्छ ।
I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
25 जुन कुरोदेखि म डराउँथेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ । म जेदेखि भयभीत हुन्थेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ ।
Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
26 म चैनमा छैनँ, म मौन छैनँ, र मलाई विश्राम छैन । बरु सङ्कष्ट आउँछ ।”
Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
