1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
And Job made answer and said,
2 “हाय, मेरो वेदना जोखिएको भए, मेरा सबै विपत्ति तराजुमा राखिएको भए,
If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!
3 किनकि अहिले त्‍यो समुद्रका बालुवाभन्दा पनि गह्रौं हुनेथियो, त्यसकारण मेरा वचन समझहीन छन् ।
For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.
4 सर्वशक्तिमान्‌का काँडहरू ममा गाडिएका छन्, र मेरो आत्माले विष सेवन गर्छ । परमेश्‍वरको त्रास आफै मेरो विरुद्धमा तैनाथ छन् ।
For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.
5 के वनको गधाले घाँस पाउँदा यो निराशमा कराउँछ र? वा के गोरुले कुँडो पाउँदा यो डुक्रन्छ र?
Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food?
6 के स्वाद नभएको खानेकुरालाई नुनविना खान सकिन्छ र? वा अण्डाको सेतो भागको कुनै स्वाद हुन्छ र?
Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?
7 म तिनलाई छुन पनि इन्कार गर्छु । मेरा लागि ती घृणित खानेकुरा हुन् ।
My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.
8 हाय! मैले बिन्ती गरेको कुरा मसित भए! हाय, मैले चिताएको कुरा परमेश्‍वरले दिनुभए!
If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire!
9 मलाई एकैचोटी धुलो पार्न परमेश्‍वर खुसी हुनुपर्छ! उहाँले आफ्‍नो हात उठाउनुपर्छ र यो जीवनबाट मलाई खतम पार्नुपर्छ!
If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!
10 यो अझै पनि मेरो सान्त्वना होस्– म पीडामा उफ्रे पनि त्‍यो घट्‍दैन, मैले परमपवित्रको वचन इन्कार गरेको छैनँ ।
So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.
11 मैले पर्खन कोसिस गर्नुपर्ने मेरो बल के हो र? मैले आफ्‍नो जीवनलाई लम्‍ब्‍याउनुपर्ने मेरो अन्त्य के हो?
Have I strength to go on waiting, or have I any end to be looking forward to?
12 के मेरो बल ढुङ्गाहरूका बल हो र? अर्थात् मेरो मासु काँसाबाट बनेको छ?
Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh brass?
13 म आफैलाई मदत गर्न सक्‍दिन भन्‍ने कुरा सत्‍य होइन र, अनि बुद्धिलाई मबाट खेदिएको छैन र?
I have no help in myself, and wisdom is completely gone from me.
14 मूर्छा खानै लागेको व्यक्तिलाई, त्यसको साथीले विश्‍वसनीयता देखाउनु, उसलाई पनि जसले सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को भयलाई त्याग्‍छ ।
He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all.
15 तर मरुभूमिको नहरझैं मेरा दाजुभाइ मसित विश्‍वासयोग्य भएका छन्, बगेर कतै पनि नपुग्‍ने पानीको नहरझैं,
My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:
16 तीमाथि बरफ जमेको हुनाले, र तिनमा लुकेर बस्‍ने हिउँको कारणले अँध्‍यारो भएका छन् ।
Which are dark because of the ice, and the snow falling into them;
17 जब ती पग्लिन्छन्, ती बिलय हुन्छन् । तातो हुँदा ती आफ्नो ठाउँबाट पग्लेर जान्छन् ।
Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.
18 आफ्नो बाटोमा हिंड्ने यात्रु-दल पानी खोज्‍न पाखा लाग्‍छन् । तिनीहरू बाँझो भू-भागमा भौंतारिन्छन्, र नष्‍ट हुन्छन् ।
The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.
19 तेमाबाट आएका यात्रु-दलले त्‍यहाँ हेरे, जबकि शेबाका सहयात्रीहरूले तिनमा आशा राखे ।
The camel-trains of Tema were searching with care, the bands of Sheba were waiting for them:
20 तिनमा पानी भेट्टाउने निश्‍चयता भएको हुनाले तिनीहरू निरुत्साही भए । तिनीहरू त्यहाँ गए, तर तिनीहरू धोकामा परे ।
They were put to shame because of their hope; they came and their hope was gone.
21 किनकि अब तपाईं मित्रहरू त मेरा लागि केही होइन । तपाईंहरू मेरो डरलाग्दो अवस्था देख्‍नुहुन्‍छ र डराउनुहुन्‍छ ।
So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear.
22 के मैले तपाईंलाई यसो भनें, 'मलाई केही कुरा दिनुहोस्?' अथवा ‘आफ्‍नो धन-सम्पत्तिबाट मलाई एउटा उपहार दिनुहोस्?’
Did I say, Give me something? or, Make a payment for me out of your wealth?
23 अथवा ‘मलाई मेरा वैरीको हातबाट बचाउनुहोस्?' अथवा 'मेरो थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरूको हातबाट मलाई मोल तिरेर छुटाउनुहोस्?'
Or, Get me out of the power of my hater? or, Give money so that I may be free from the power of the cruel ones?
24 मलाई सिकाउनुहोस्, र म आफू शान्‍त रहनेछु । मैले कहाँ गल्ती गरें, मलाई प्रष्‍ट पार्नुहोस् ।
Give me teaching and I will be quiet; and make me see my error.
25 इमानदार वचन कति पीडादयक हुन्छन्! तर तपाईंका तर्कहरू, कसरी तिनले मलाई साँच्‍चै हप्काउँछन् र?
How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments?
26 मेरा वचनलाई बेवास्ता गर्ने योजना गर्नुहुन्‍छ, निराश मानिसका वचनलाई बतासझैं तपाईं गर्नुहुन्‍छ?
My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.
27 वास्तवमा, तपाईं अनाथको लागि चिट्ठा हाल्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र बेच्ने सामनझैं आफ्नो मित्रको मूल्‍य तोक्‍नुहुन्‍छ ।
Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend.
28 त्यसकारण अब कृपया मलाई हेर्नुहोस्, किनकि म निश्‍चय नै तपाईंको सामु झुट बोल्दिनँ ।
Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face.
29 मेरो बिन्ती छ, कोमल हुनुहोस् । तपाईंसित कुनै अन्याय नहोस् । वास्तवमै कोमलो हुनुहोस्, किनकि मेरो समस्‍या न्‍यायोचित छ ।
Let your minds be changed, and do not have an evil opinion of me; yes, be changed, for my righteousness is still in me.
30 के मेरो जिब्रोमा खराबी छ र? के मेरा मुखले दूर्भावपूर्ण कुराहरू छुट्ट्याउन सक्दैन र?
Is there evil in my tongue? is not the cause of my trouble clear to me?
