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 who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.
2 वास्तवमा तिनीहरूका बाबुहरूका हातको ताकतले, अर्थात् तन्देरी उमेरको बल नष्ट भएका मानिसहरूका ताकतले मलाई कसरी मदत गर्न सक्थ्यो र?
Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?
3 गरिबी र भोकले तिनीहरू दुब्लो थिए । उजाडस्थान र मरुभूमीमा अँध्यारोमा सुक्खा भुइँमा तिनीहरू कुटुकुटु टोक्थे ।
They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
4 तिनीहरूले नुनिलो झार र झाडीका पातहरू उखेल्थे । झ्याउका जराहरू तिनीहरूका खानेकुरा थिए ।
They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom tree are their food.
5 तिनीहरू मानिसहरूका बिचबाट खेदिएका थिए, जो चिच्च्याउँदै चोरको पछि लागेझैं तिनीहरूको पछि लाग्थे ।
They are driven out from amongst men. They cry after them as after a thief,
6 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले नदीका मैदानहरू, जमिन र चट्टानका गुफाहरूमा बस्नुपरेको थियो ।
so that they live in frightful valleys, and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7 झाडीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू गधझैं कराउँथे, र तिनीहरू झाडीमुनि एकसाथ जम्मा हुन्थे ।
They bray amongst the bushes. They are gathered together under the nettles.
8 तिनीहरू मूर्खहरूका छोराहरू थिए, वास्तवमा नाम नभएका मानिसहरूका छोराहरू थिए । कोर्रा लगाएर तिनीहरूलाई देशबाट लखेटियो ।
They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged out of the land.
9 तर अहिले म तिनीहरूको गिल्लाको गितको विषय बनेको छु । म तिनीहरूका लागि उखान भएको छु ।
“Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.
10 तिनीहरू मलाई घृणा गर्छन्, र मबाट टाढा रहन्छन् । मेरो मुखमा थुक्नबाट तिनीहरू रोकिंदैनन् ।
They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate 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 untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.
12 मेरो दाहिने हातमा हुल्याहाहरू खडा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई टाढा लखेट्छन् र मेरो विरुद्धमा आफ्ना घेरा-मचान बनाउँछन् ।
On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet. They cast their ways of destruction up against me.
13 तिनीहरूले मेरो मार्ग नष्ट गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले ममाथि विपत्ति ल्याउँछन्, र ती मानिसहरूलाई रोक्ने कोही छैन ।
They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.
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. They roll themselves in amid the ruin.
15 त्रासहरू ममाथि परेका छन् । बतासले उडाएर लगेझैं मेरो आदरलाई लगिएको छ । मेरो समृद्धि बादलझैं बितेर जान्छ ।
Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honour as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.
16 अब मेरो जीवन मभित्रै सकिंदैछ । कष्टका धेरै दिनहरूले मलाई समातेका छन् ।
“Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold of 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 ।
My garment is disfigured by great force. It binds me about as the collar of my tunic.
19 उहाँले मलाई हिलोमा फाल्नुभएको छ । म धूलो र खरानीझैं भएको छु ।
He has cast me into the mire. I have 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 to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.
21 तपाईं बद्लिनुभएको छ र मप्रति क्रुर बन्नुभएको छ । आफ्नो हातको ताकतले तपाईंले मलाई सताउनुहुन्छ ।
You have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of your hand you persecute me.
22 तपाईंले मलाई बतासमा उचाल्नुहुन्छ र त्यसले मलाई उडाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई आँधीमा यताउता हुत्याउनुहुन्छ ।
You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.
23 किनकि म जान्दछु, कि तपाईंले मलाई मृत्युमा पुर्याउनुहुन्छ, सबै जीवितहरूका लागि नियुक्त गरिएको घरमा लानुहुन्छ ।
For I know that you will bring me to death, 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?
“However doesn’t one stretch out a 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?
Didn’t I weep for him who was in trouble? Wasn’t 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. When I waited for light, darkness came.
27 मेरो हृदय कष्टमा छ र यसले विश्राम लिंदैन । कष्टका दिनहरू ममाथि आएका छन् ।
My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest. Days of affliction have come on 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 grows black and peels from me. My bones are burnt with heat.
31 त्यसकारण मेरो वीणाले शोकका गीतहरू गाउँछ, र मेरो बाँसुरीले रुनेहरूको निम्ति गाउँछ ।
Therefore my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
