अय्यूब 30
1 अब मभन्दा जवानहरूले मेरो ठट्टा गर्नुबाहेक अरू केही गर्दैनन् । यी जवान मानिसहरूका बुबाहरूलाई आफ्नो बगाल रुँग्ने कुकुरहरूको छेउमा काम गर्न पनि म इन्कार गर्थें ।
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
2 वास्तवमा तिनीहरूका बाबुहरूका हातको ताकतले, अर्थात् तन्देरी उमेरको बल नष्ट भएका मानिसहरूका ताकतले मलाई कसरी मदत गर्न सक्थ्यो र?
Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.
3 गरिबी र भोकले तिनीहरू दुब्लो थिए । उजाडस्थान र मरुभूमीमा अँध्यारोमा सुक्खा भुइँमा तिनीहरू कुटुकुटु टोक्थे ।
They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.
4 तिनीहरूले नुनिलो झार र झाडीका पातहरू उखेल्थे । झ्याउका जराहरू तिनीहरूका खानेकुरा थिए ।
They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food.
5 तिनीहरू मानिसहरूका बिचबाट खेदिएका थिए, जो चिच्च्याउँदै चोरको पछि लागेझैं तिनीहरूको पछि लाग्थे ।
They are driven forth from the midst [of men]; They cry after them as after a thief;
6 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले नदीका मैदानहरू, जमिन र चट्टानका गुफाहरूमा बस्नुपरेको थियो ।
So that they dwell in frightful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7 झाडीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू गधझैं कराउँथे, र तिनीहरू झाडीमुनि एकसाथ जम्मा हुन्थे ।
Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they are gathered together.
8 तिनीहरू मूर्खहरूका छोराहरू थिए, वास्तवमा नाम नभएका मानिसहरूका छोराहरू थिए । कोर्रा लगाएर तिनीहरूलाई देशबाट लखेटियो ।
[They are] children of fools, yea, children of base men; They were scourged out of the land.
9 तर अहिले म तिनीहरूको गिल्लाको गितको विषय बनेको छु । म तिनीहरूका लागि उखान भएको छु ।
And now I am become their song, Yea, I am a byword unto them.
10 तिनीहरू मलाई घृणा गर्छन्, र मबाट टाढा रहन्छन् । मेरो मुखमा थुक्नबाट तिनीहरू रोकिंदैनन् ।
They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, And spare not to spit in my face.
11 किनकि परमेश्वरले मेरो धनुको डोरी फुकाउनुभएको र मलाई कष्ट दिनुभएको छ, अनि मलाई गिल्ला गर्नेहरूले मेरो अनुहारकै सामु आफ्नो रिस पोखाउँछन् ।
For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me.
12 मेरो दाहिने हातमा हुल्याहाहरू खडा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई टाढा लखेट्छन् र मेरो विरुद्धमा आफ्ना घेरा-मचान बनाउँछन् ।
Upon my right hand rise the rabble; They thrust aside my feet, And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
13 तिनीहरूले मेरो मार्ग नष्ट गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले ममाथि विपत्ति ल्याउँछन्, र ती मानिसहरूलाई रोक्ने कोही छैन ।
They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, [Even] men that have no helper.
14 सहरको पर्खालमा भएको ठुलो प्वालबाट आउने फौजझैं तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा आउँछन् । विनाशको बिचमा तिनीहरू ममाथि लडिबडि खेल्छन् ।
As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves [upon me].
15 त्रासहरू ममाथि परेका छन् । बतासले उडाएर लगेझैं मेरो आदरलाई लगिएको छ । मेरो समृद्धि बादलझैं बितेर जान्छ ।
Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.
16 अब मेरो जीवन मभित्रै सकिंदैछ । कष्टका धेरै दिनहरूले मलाई समातेका छन् ।
And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17 रातमा मभित्र भएका हड्डीहरूले मलाई घोच्छन् । मलाई सताउने मेरा पीडाले आराम लिंदैनन् ।
In the night season my bones are pierced in me, And the [pains] that gnaw me take no rest.
18 परमेश्वरको महान् शक्तिले मेरो वस्त्र समातेको छ । मेरो कमीजको कठालोझैं यसले मेरो चारैतिर बेर्छ ।
By [God’s] great force is my garment disfigured; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
19 उहाँले मलाई हिलोमा फाल्नुभएको छ । म धूलो र खरानीझैं भएको छु ।
He hath cast me into the mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.
20 हे परमेश्वर, म तपाईंमा पुकार्छु, तर तपाईंले मलाई जवाफ दिनुहुन्न । म खडा हुन्छु, तर तपाईंले हेर्नु मात्र हुन्छ ।
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me: I stand up, and thou gazest at me.
21 तपाईं बद्लिनुभएको छ र मप्रति क्रुर बन्नुभएको छ । आफ्नो हातको ताकतले तपाईंले मलाई सताउनुहुन्छ ।
Thou art turned to be cruel to me; With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me.
22 तपाईंले मलाई बतासमा उचाल्नुहुन्छ र त्यसले मलाई उडाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई आँधीमा यताउता हुत्याउनुहुन्छ ।
Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride [upon it]; And thou dissolvest me in the storm.
23 किनकि म जान्दछु, कि तपाईंले मलाई मृत्युमा पुर्याउनुहुन्छ, सबै जीवितहरूका लागि नियुक्त गरिएको घरमा लानुहुन्छ ।
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.
24 तापनि जब कोही लड्छ, तब के त्यसले मदतको लागि आफ्नो हात उठाउँदैन र? के सङ्कष्टमा भएको कसैले पनि मदतको लागि पुकार्दैन र?
Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
25 कष्टमा भएको व्यक्तिको लागि म रोइनँ र? खाँचोमा परेको मानिसको लागि मैले शोक गरिनँ र?
Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
26 जब मैले भलाइको आशा गरें, तब खराबी आयो । जब मैले ज्योतिको आशा गरें, त्यसको साटो अन्धकार आयो ।
When I looked for good, then evil came; And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27 मेरो हृदय कष्टमा छ र यसले विश्राम लिंदैन । कष्टका दिनहरू ममाथि आएका छन् ।
My heart is troubled, and resteth not; Days of affliction are come upon me.
28 अन्धकारमा बसिरहेको मानिसझैं म हिंडेको छ, तर सूर्यको कारणले होइन । म सभामा खडा हुन्छु र मदतको लागि पुकार्छु ।
I go mourning without the sun: I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
29 म स्यालहरूको भाइ, अस्ट्रिचहरूको मित्र भएको छु ।
I am a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.
30 मेरो छाला कालो छ, र पत्रै-पत्र भएर झर्छ । मेरा हड्डीहरू रापले जलेका छन् ।
My skin is black, [and falleth] from me, And my bones are burned with heat.
31 त्यसकारण मेरो वीणाले शोकका गीतहरू गाउँछ, र मेरो बाँसुरीले रुनेहरूको निम्ति गाउँछ ।
Therefore is my harp [turned] to mourning, And my pipe into the voice of them that weep.
