अय्यूब 7
1 के मानिसले पृथ्वीमा कठिन परिश्रम गर्दैन र? के उसका दिन ज्यालादारी मानिसका दिनजस्तै हुँदैनन् र?
“People need to work hard on this earth, like soldiers do; all during the time that we are alive, we work hard [RHQ], like laborers/servants do.
2 एउटा दासले उत्सुकतासाथ साँझको छायाको इच्छा गरेझैं, एक जना ज्यालादारीले आफ्नो ज्यालाको आशा गर्छ ।
We are like [SIM] slaves who keep wanting to be in the cool shade, and we are like [SIM] workers who are waiting to be paid.
3 यसरी मलाई दुःखका महिनाहरू सहन लगाइएको छ । मलाई कष्टले भरिएका रातहरू दिइएका छन् ।
God has given me many months [in which I think that it is] useless [to remain alive]; he has allotted/given to me many nights during which I feel miserable.
4 म पल्टिदाँ म आफैलाई भन्छु, 'म कहिले ब्युँझनेछु, र रात कहिले बित्नेछ?' मिरमिरे उज्यालो नहुञ्जेल म यताउता छटपटाउँछु ।
When I lie down [at night] I say, ‘How long will it be until morning?’ But nights are long, and I (toss/turn over and over) [on my bed] until dawn.
5 मेरो शरीर किराहरू र धूलोको डल्लाहरूले ढाकिएको छ । मेरो जीउका खटिरा टन्किन्छन्, र फुट्छन् र पिप बग्छन् ।
My body is covered with maggots and scabs; pus oozes out of my open sores.
6 मेरा दिनहरू सिलाउनेको चक्काभन्दा चाँडो बित्छन् । ती आशाविनै बितेर जान्छन् ।
My days pass as quickly as a weaver’s (shuttle/stick that takes the thread back and forth), and they end without my confidently expecting [that things will be better the next day].
7 हे परमेश्वर, मेरो जीवनलाई केवल एक सास सम्झनुहोस् । मेरो आँखाले फेरि असल देख्न पाउनेछैन ।
God, do not forget that my life is [as short as] a breath [MET]; I [think that] I [SYN] will never again be happy.
8 मलाई हेर्ने परमेश्वरका आँखाले फेरि मलाई हेर्ने छैन । परमेश्वरका आँखा ममाथि हुनेछ, तर मेरो अस्तत्व हुनेछैन ।
God, you [SYN] see me now, but [some day] you will not see me any more. You will search for me, but I will be gone [because I will be dead].
Like [SIM] clouds (disperse/break up) and then disappear, people [die and] descend to the place where dead people are, and they do not return; (Sheol h7585)
10 ऊ फेरि आफ्नो घरमा फर्कनेछैन, न त उसको ठाउँले फेरि उसलाई चिन्नेछ ।
they never return to their houses, and people among whom they lived do not remember them any more.
11 त्यसकारण म आफ्नो मुख बन्द गर्दिन । म आफ्नो आत्माको वेदनामा बोल्नेछु । म आफ्नो प्राणको तिक्ततामा गनगन गर्नेछु ।
So, I will not be silent; while I am suffering I will speak; I will complain [to God about what has happened to me] because I [SYN] am very angry.
12 तपाईंले ममाथि रक्षक राख्नलाई, के म समुद्र वा समुद्रको राक्षस हुँ र?
[God, ] why do you watch closely what I am doing? [Do you think that] I am a [dangerous] sea monster?
13 जब म भन्छु, 'मेरो ओछ्यानले मलाई सान्त्वना दिनेछ, र मेरो खाटले मेरो गुनासोलाई चैन दिन्छ,'
When [I lie down at night, ] I think, ‘I will be comforted here on my bed; my pain will be less while I am sleeping.’
14 तब तपाईंले सपनाहरूले मलाई तर्साउनुहुन्छ र दर्शनहरूद्वारा मलाई आतङ्कित पार्नुहुन्छ,
But then you give me dreams that cause me to be afraid; you give me visions that terrify me,
15 जसले गर्दा मेरा यी हड्डीलाई जोगाउनुभन्दा, बरु घाँटी च्याप्ने कुरा र मृत्युलाई रोज्छु ।
with the result that I would prefer to be strangled to death than to continue to [be alive] being only a bunch of bones.
16 म मेरो जीवनलाई घृणा गर्छु । म सधैँ जिउने इच्छा गर्दिनँ । मलाई एक्लै छोडिदिनुहोस्, किनकि मेरा दिनहरू व्यर्थ छन् ।
I detest continuing to be alive; I do not want to live for many years [HYP]. Allow me to be alone, [because I will be alive] for only a very short remaining time [HYP].
17 मानिस के हो र तपाईंले उसको ख्याल राख्नुपर्ने, तपाईंले आफ्नो मनलाई उसमा लगाउनुपर्ने,
“We human beings are not [very important]; so, why do you pay a lot of attention to us [DOU]?
18 हरेक बिहान तपाईंले उसको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्ने, हरेक क्षण उसको जाँच गर्नुपर्ने?
You look at us every morning [to see what we are doing], and examine us every moment [to see if we are doing what is right].
19 तपाईंले आफ्ना आँखा मबाट कहिले हटाउनुहुन्छ, आफ्नो थुक निल्न मलाई तपाईंले कहिले एक्लै छोड्नुहुन्छ?
(When will you stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit?/Please stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit.) [RHQ]
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?
[Why do] you watch me constantly? If I sin, that certainly does not harm you! Why have you set me up like a target to shoot at? Do you consider me to be a heavy load that you are forced to carry?
21 किन मेरो अपराध तपाईंले क्षमा गर्नुहुन्न र मेरो अधर्म हटाउनुहुन्न? अब म धूलोमा पल्टनेछु । तपाईंले मलाई ध्यानपूर्वक खोज्नुहुनेछ, तर मेरो अस्तित्व रहनेछैन ।”
[If I have sinned, ] are you not able to forgive me for my sins— the things that I have done that are wrong? Soon I will lie in my grave; you will search for me, but [you will not find me because] I will be [dead and] gone.”
