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, those younger in years scorn me, whose fathers I would not have seen fit to place 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?
the strength of whose hands was nothing to me, and they were considered unworthy of life itself.
3 गरिबी र भोकले तिनीहरू दुब्लो थिए । उजाडस्थान र मरुभूमीमा अँध्यारोमा सुक्खा भुइँमा तिनीहरू कुटुकुटु टोक्थे ।
They were barren from poverty and hunger; they gnawed in solitude, layered with misfortune and misery.
4 तिनीहरूले नुनिलो झार र झाडीका पातहरू उखेल्थे । झ्याउका जराहरू तिनीहरूका खानेकुरा थिए ।
And they chewed grass and the bark from trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
5 तिनीहरू मानिसहरूका बिचबाट खेदिएका थिए, जो चिच्च्याउँदै चोरको पछि लागेझैं तिनीहरूको पछि लाग्थे ।
They took these things from the steep valleys, and when they discovered one of these things, they rushed to the others with a cry.
6 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले नदीका मैदानहरू, जमिन र चट्टानका गुफाहरूमा बस्नुपरेको थियो ।
They lived in the parched desert and in caves underground or above the rocks.
7 झाडीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू गधझैं कराउँथे, र तिनीहरू झाडीमुनि एकसाथ जम्मा हुन्थे ।
They rejoiced among these kinds of things, and they considered it delightful to be under thorns.
8 तिनीहरू मूर्खहरूका छोराहरू थिए, वास्तवमा नाम नभएका मानिसहरूका छोराहरू थिए । कोर्रा लगाएर तिनीहरूलाई देशबाट लखेटियो ।
These are the sons of foolish and base men, not even paying any attention to the land.
9 तर अहिले म तिनीहरूको गिल्लाको गितको विषय बनेको छु । म तिनीहरूका लागि उखान भएको छु ।
Now I become their song, and I have been made into their proverb.
10 तिनीहरू मलाई घृणा गर्छन्, र मबाट टाढा रहन्छन् । मेरो मुखमा थुक्नबाट तिनीहरू रोकिंदैनन् ।
They loathe me, and so they flee far from me, and they are not reluctant 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 has opened his quiver and has afflicted me, and he has placed a bridle in my mouth.
12 मेरो दाहिने हातमा हुल्याहाहरू खडा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई टाढा लखेट्छन् र मेरो विरुद्धमा आफ्ना घेरा-मचान बनाउँछन् ।
Immediately, upon rising, my calamities rise up to the right. They have overturned my feet and have pressed me down along their way like waves.
13 तिनीहरूले मेरो मार्ग नष्ट गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले ममाथि विपत्ति ल्याउँछन्, र ती मानिसहरूलाई रोक्ने कोही छैन ।
They have diverted my journeys; they have waited to ambush me, and they have prevailed, and there was no one who might bring help.
14 सहरको पर्खालमा भएको ठुलो प्वालबाट आउने फौजझैं तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा आउँछन् । विनाशको बिचमा तिनीहरू ममाथि लडिबडि खेल्छन् ।
They have rushed upon me, as when a wall is broken or a gate opened, and they have been pulled down into my miseries.
15 त्रासहरू ममाथि परेका छन् । बतासले उडाएर लगेझैं मेरो आदरलाई लगिएको छ । मेरो समृद्धि बादलझैं बितेर जान्छ ।
I have been reduced to nothing. You have taken away my desire like a wind, and my health has passed by like a cloud.
16 अब मेरो जीवन मभित्रै सकिंदैछ । कष्टका धेरै दिनहरूले मलाई समातेका छन् ।
But now my soul withers within myself, and the days of affliction take hold of me.
17 रातमा मभित्र भएका हड्डीहरूले मलाई घोच्छन् । मलाई सताउने मेरा पीडाले आराम लिंदैनन् ।
At night, my bone is pierced with sorrows, and those who feed on me, do not sleep.
18 परमेश्वरको महान् शक्तिले मेरो वस्त्र समातेको छ । मेरो कमीजको कठालोझैं यसले मेरो चारैतिर बेर्छ ।
By the sheer number of them my clothing is worn away, and they have closed in on me like the collar of my coat.
19 उहाँले मलाई हिलोमा फाल्नुभएको छ । म धूलो र खरानीझैं भएको छु ।
I have been treated like dirt, and I have been turned into embers and ashes.
20 हे परमेश्वर, म तपाईंमा पुकार्छु, तर तपाईंले मलाई जवाफ दिनुहुन्न । म खडा हुन्छु, तर तपाईंले हेर्नु मात्र हुन्छ ।
I cry to you, and you do not heed me. I stand up, and you do not look back at me.
21 तपाईं बद्लिनुभएको छ र मप्रति क्रुर बन्नुभएको छ । आफ्नो हातको ताकतले तपाईंले मलाई सताउनुहुन्छ ।
You have changed me into hardness, and, with the hardness of your hand, you oppose me.
22 तपाईंले मलाई बतासमा उचाल्नुहुन्छ र त्यसले मलाई उडाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई आँधीमा यताउता हुत्याउनुहुन्छ ।
You have lifted me up, and, placing me as if on the wind, you have thrown me down powerfully.
23 किनकि म जान्दछु, कि तपाईंले मलाई मृत्युमा पुर्याउनुहुन्छ, सबै जीवितहरूका लागि नियुक्त गरिएको घरमा लानुहुन्छ ।
I know that you will hand me over to death, where a home has been established for all the living.
24 तापनि जब कोही लड्छ, तब के त्यसले मदतको लागि आफ्नो हात उठाउँदैन र? के सङ्कष्टमा भएको कसैले पनि मदतको लागि पुकार्दैन र?
Truly, then, you do not extend your hand in order to consume them, and if they fall down, you will save them.
25 कष्टमा भएको व्यक्तिको लागि म रोइनँ र? खाँचोमा परेको मानिसको लागि मैले शोक गरिनँ र?
Once, I wept over him who was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
26 जब मैले भलाइको आशा गरें, तब खराबी आयो । जब मैले ज्योतिको आशा गरें, त्यसको साटो अन्धकार आयो ।
I expected good things, but evil things have come to me. I stood ready for light, yet darkness burst forth.
27 मेरो हृदय कष्टमा छ र यसले विश्राम लिंदैन । कष्टका दिनहरू ममाथि आएका छन् ।
My insides have seethed, without any rest, for the days of affliction have prevented it.
28 अन्धकारमा बसिरहेको मानिसझैं म हिंडेको छ, तर सूर्यको कारणले होइन । म सभामा खडा हुन्छु र मदतको लागि पुकार्छु ।
I went forth mourning, without anger, and rising up, I cried out in confusion.
29 म स्यालहरूको भाइ, अस्ट्रिचहरूको मित्र भएको छु ।
I was the brother of snakes, and the companion of ostriches.
30 मेरो छाला कालो छ, र पत्रै-पत्र भएर झर्छ । मेरा हड्डीहरू रापले जलेका छन् ।
My skin has become blackened over me, and my bones have dried up because of the heat.
31 त्यसकारण मेरो वीणाले शोकका गीतहरू गाउँछ, र मेरो बाँसुरीले रुनेहरूको निम्ति गाउँछ ।
My harp has been turned into mourning, and my pipes have been turned into a voice of weeping.
