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 would have disdained to have 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, whereto [might] the strength of their hands [profit] me, in whom old age was perished?
3 गरिबी र भोकले तिनीहरू दुब्लो थिए । उजाडस्थान र मरुभूमीमा अँध्यारोमा सुक्खा भुइँमा तिनीहरू कुटुकुटु टोक्थे ।
For want and famine [they were] solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
4 तिनीहरूले नुनिलो झार र झाडीका पातहरू उखेल्थे । झ्याउका जराहरू तिनीहरूका खानेकुरा थिए ।
Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots [for] their meat.
5 तिनीहरू मानिसहरूका बिचबाट खेदिएका थिए, जो चिच्च्याउँदै चोरको पछि लागेझैं तिनीहरूको पछि लाग्थे ।
They were driven forth from among [men], (they cried after them as [after] a thief; )
6 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले नदीका मैदानहरू, जमिन र चट्टानका गुफाहरूमा बस्नुपरेको थियो ।
To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, [in] caves of the earth, and [in] the rocks.
7 झाडीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू गधझैं कराउँथे, र तिनीहरू झाडीमुनि एकसाथ जम्मा हुन्थे ।
Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
8 तिनीहरू मूर्खहरूका छोराहरू थिए, वास्तवमा नाम नभएका मानिसहरूका छोराहरू थिए । कोर्रा लगाएर तिनीहरूलाई देशबाट लखेटियो ।
[They were] children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
9 तर अहिले म तिनीहरूको गिल्लाको गितको विषय बनेको छु । म तिनीहरूका लागि उखान भएको छु ।
And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
10 तिनीहरू मलाई घृणा गर्छन्, र मबाट टाढा रहन्छन् । मेरो मुखमा थुक्नबाट तिनीहरू रोकिंदैनन् ।
They abhor me, they flee far 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 ।
Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose 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 youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their 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, they have no helper.
14 सहरको पर्खालमा भएको ठुलो प्वालबाट आउने फौजझैं तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा आउँछन् । विनाशको बिचमा तिनीहरू ममाथि लडिबडि खेल्छन् ।
They came [upon me] as a wide breaking in [of waters: ] in the desolation they rolled 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 pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
16 अब मेरो जीवन मभित्रै सकिंदैछ । कष्टका धेरै दिनहरूले मलाई समातेका छन् ।
And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17 रातमा मभित्र भएका हड्डीहरूले मलाई घोच्छन् । मलाई सताउने मेरा पीडाले आराम लिंदैनन् ।
My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18 परमेश्वरको महान् शक्तिले मेरो वस्त्र समातेको छ । मेरो कमीजको कठालोझैं यसले मेरो चारैतिर बेर्छ ।
By the great force [of my disease] is my garment changed: 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 hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me [not].
21 तपाईं बद्लिनुभएको छ र मप्रति क्रुर बन्नुभएको छ । आफ्नो हातको ताकतले तपाईंले मलाई सताउनुहुन्छ ।
Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against 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 dissolvest my substance.
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 he will not stretch out [his] hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
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 poor?
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 [unto me: ] and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27 मेरो हृदय कष्टमा छ र यसले विश्राम लिंदैन । कष्टका दिनहरू ममाथि आएका छन् ।
My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
28 अन्धकारमा बसिरहेको मानिसझैं म हिंडेको छ, तर सूर्यको कारणले होइन । म सभामा खडा हुन्छु र मदतको लागि पुकार्छु ।
I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, [and] I cried in the congregation.
29 म स्यालहरूको भाइ, अस्ट्रिचहरूको मित्र भएको छु ।
I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
30 मेरो छाला कालो छ, र पत्रै-पत्र भएर झर्छ । मेरा हड्डीहरू रापले जलेका छन् ।
My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
31 त्यसकारण मेरो वीणाले शोकका गीतहरू गाउँछ, र मेरो बाँसुरीले रुनेहरूको निम्ति गाउँछ ।
My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
