अय्यूब 7
1 के मानिसले पृथ्वीमा कठिन परिश्रम गर्दैन र? के उसका दिन ज्यालादारी मानिसका दिनजस्तै हुँदैनन् र?
Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?
2 एउटा दासले उत्सुकतासाथ साँझको छायाको इच्छा गरेझैं, एक जना ज्यालादारीले आफ्नो ज्यालाको आशा गर्छ ।
Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?
3 यसरी मलाई दुःखका महिनाहरू सहन लगाइएको छ । मलाई कष्टले भरिएका रातहरू दिइएका छन् ।
So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me.
4 म पल्टिदाँ म आफैलाई भन्छु, 'म कहिले ब्युँझनेछु, र रात कहिले बित्नेछ?' मिरमिरे उज्यालो नहुञ्जेल म यताउता छटपटाउँछु ।
Whenever I lie down, I say, When [will it be] day? and whenever I rise up, again [I say] when [will it be] evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.
5 मेरो शरीर किराहरू र धूलोको डल्लाहरूले ढाकिएको छ । मेरो जीउका खटिरा टन्किन्छन्, र फुट्छन् र पिप बग्छन् ।
And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.
6 मेरा दिनहरू सिलाउनेको चक्काभन्दा चाँडो बित्छन् । ती आशाविनै बितेर जान्छन् ।
And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.
7 हे परमेश्वर, मेरो जीवनलाई केवल एक सास सम्झनुहोस् । मेरो आँखाले फेरि असल देख्न पाउनेछैन ।
Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shall not yet again see good.
8 मलाई हेर्ने परमेश्वरका आँखाले फेरि मलाई हेर्ने छैन । परमेश्वरका आँखा ममाथि हुनेछ, तर मेरो अस्तत्व हुनेछैन ।
The eye of him that sees me shall not see me [again]: your eyes are upon me, and I am no more.
[I am] as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again: (Sheol h7585)
10 ऊ फेरि आफ्नो घरमा फर्कनेछैन, न त उसको ठाउँले फेरि उसलाई चिन्नेछ ।
and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.
11 त्यसकारण म आफ्नो मुख बन्द गर्दिन । म आफ्नो आत्माको वेदनामा बोल्नेछु । म आफ्नो प्राणको तिक्ततामा गनगन गर्नेछु ।
Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.
12 तपाईंले ममाथि रक्षक राख्नलाई, के म समुद्र वा समुद्रको राक्षस हुँ र?
Am I a sea, or a serpent, that you have set a watch over me?
13 जब म भन्छु, 'मेरो ओछ्यानले मलाई सान्त्वना दिनेछ, र मेरो खाटले मेरो गुनासोलाई चैन दिन्छ,'
I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.
14 तब तपाईंले सपनाहरूले मलाई तर्साउनुहुन्छ र दर्शनहरूद्वारा मलाई आतङ्कित पार्नुहुन्छ,
You scare me with dreams, and do terrify me with visions.
15 जसले गर्दा मेरा यी हड्डीलाई जोगाउनुभन्दा, बरु घाँटी च्याप्ने कुरा र मृत्युलाई रोज्छु ।
You will separate life from my spirit; and yet [keep] my bones from death.
16 म मेरो जीवनलाई घृणा गर्छु । म सधैँ जिउने इच्छा गर्दिनँ । मलाई एक्लै छोडिदिनुहोस्, किनकि मेरा दिनहरू व्यर्थ छन् ।
For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life [is] vain.
17 मानिस के हो र तपाईंले उसको ख्याल राख्नुपर्ने, तपाईंले आफ्नो मनलाई उसमा लगाउनुपर्ने,
For what is man, that you have magnified him? or that you give heed to him?
18 हरेक बिहान तपाईंले उसको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्ने, हरेक क्षण उसको जाँच गर्नुपर्ने?
Will you visit him till the morning, and judge him till [the time of] rest?
19 तपाईंले आफ्ना आँखा मबाट कहिले हटाउनुहुन्छ, आफ्नो थुक निल्न मलाई तपाईंले कहिले एक्लै छोड्नुहुन्छ?
How long do you not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?
20 मैले पाप नै गरेको भए पनि, हे मानिसलाई हेर्नुहुने, त्यसले तपाईंलाइ के हुन्छ त? तपाईंले मलाई किन निसाना बनाउनुभएको छ जसको कारण म तपाईंको लागि बोझ छु?
If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O you that understand the mind of men? why have you made me as your accuser, and [why] am I a burden to you?
21 किन मेरो अपराध तपाईंले क्षमा गर्नुहुन्न र मेरो अधर्म हटाउनुहुन्न? अब म धूलोमा पल्टनेछु । तपाईंले मलाई ध्यानपूर्वक खोज्नुहुनेछ, तर मेरो अस्तित्व रहनेछैन ।”
Why have you not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.
