1 इसके बाद अय्यूब ने अपना मुँह खोल कर अपने पैदाइश के दिन पर ला'नत की।
Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
3 “मिट जाए वह दिन जिसमें मैं पैदा हुआ, और वह रात भी जिसमें कहा गया, 'कि देखो, बेटा हुआ।”
“I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.
4 वह दिन अँधेरा हो जाए। ख़ुदा ऊपर से उसका लिहाज़ न करे, और न उस पर रोशनी पड़े।
I wish that the day when I was born would have been covered in darkness. I wish that God who is in heaven [MTY] would have forgotten about that day, and that the sun would not have shone on it.
5 अँधेरा और मौत का साया उस पर क़ाबिज़ हो। बदली उस पर छाई रहे और दिन को तारीक कर देनेवाली चीज़ें उसे दहशत ज़दा करें।
I wish that thick/intense darkness would have filled that day, and that a black cloud would have come over it and blotted out all light and caused people to be terrified.
6 गहरी तारीकी उस रात को दबोच ले। वह साल के दिनों के बीच ख़ुशी न करने पाए, और न महीनों की ता'दाद में आए।
I wish that the night when I was conceived would be erased from the calendar, with the result that it would never again appear as one night in any month, and that it would not be included in any calendar.
7 वह रात बाँझ हो जाए; उसमें ख़ुशी की कोई आवाज़ न आए।
I wish that no child would again be conceived on that night of the month [MET], and that no one would again be happy on that night.
8 दिन पर ला'नत करने वाले उस पर ला'नत करें और वह भी जो अज़दह “को छेड़ने को तैयार हैं।
I want those people who (curse/put evil spells on) days—those who know how to arouse/awaken the great sea monster—to curse that day.
9 उसकी शाम के तारे तारीक हो जाएँ, वह रोशनी की राह देखे, जबकि वह है नहीं, और न वह सुबह की पलकों को देखे।
I wish that the stars that shone early in the morning on that day [after I was conceived] will not shine again. I want those stars to have wished in vain for light to shine; and that they would not have shone on that day.
10 क्यूँकि उसने मेरी माँ के रहम के दरवाज़ों को बंद न किया और दुख को मेरी आँखों से छिपा न रख्खा।
[That was an evil day] because my mother was able to conceive; instead, I was born, and I have now experienced all these terrible things.
11 मैं रहम ही में क्यूँ न मर गया? मैंने पेट से निकलते ही जान क्यूँ न दे दी?
“I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
12 मुझे क़ुबूल करने को घुटने क्यूँ थे, और छातियाँ कि मैं उनसे पियूँ?
I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
13 नहीं तो इस वक़्त मैं पड़ा होता, और बेख़बर रहता, मैं सो जाता। तब मुझे आराम मिलता।
If I had died at the time when I was born, I would be asleep, resting peacefully [in the place where the dead people are].
14 ज़मीन के बादशाहों और सलाहकारों के साथ, जिन्होंने अपने लिए मक़बरे बनाए।
I would be resting with kings whose [beautiful palaces] that they built are now in ruins (OR, who rebuilt [palaces] that had previously been destroyed), and I would be resting with their officials [who have also died].
15 या उन शाहज़ादों के साथ होता, जिनके पास सोना था। जिन्होंने अपने घर चाँदी से भर लिए थे;
I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
16 या पोशीदा गिरते हमल की तरह, मैं वजूद में न आता या उन बच्चों की तरह जिन्होंने रोशनी ही न देखी।
I wish that I had been buried like a child who died in its mother’s womb and never lived to see the light.
17 वहाँ शरीर फ़साद से बाज़ आते हैं, और थके मांदे राहत पाते हैं।
After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
18 वहाँ क़ैदी मिलकर आराम करते हैं, और दरोग़ा की आवाज़ सुनने में नहीं आती।
Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
19 छोटे और बड़े दोनों वहीं हैं, और नौकर अपने मालिक से आज़ाद है।”
Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
20 “दुखियारे को रोशनी, और तल्ख़जान को ज़िन्दगी क्यूँ मिलती है?
(“Why does God allow those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive?/I do not understand why God allows those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive.) [RHQ] Why does he allow those who are very miserable/distressed to keep living [RHQ]?
21 जो मौत की राह देखते हैं लेकिन वह आती नहीं, और छिपे ख़ज़ाने से ज़्यादा उसकी तलाश करते हैं।
They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
22 जो निहायत शादमान और ख़ुश होते हैं, जब क़ब्र को पा लेते हैं।
When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
23 ऐसे आदमी को रोशनी क्यूँ मिलती है, जिसकी राह छिपी है, और जिसे ख़ुदा ने हर तरफ़ से बंद कर दिया है?
Those who do not know where they are [eventually] going when they die [RHQ], people whom God has forced [MET] to continue to live in misery, (it is not right that they continue to live./why do they continue to live?) [RHQ]
24 क्यूँकि मेरे खाने की जगह मेरी आहें हैं, और मेरा कराहना पानी की तरह जारी है।
I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
25 क्यूँकि जिस बात से मैं डरता हूँ, वही मुझ पर आती है, और जिस बात का मुझे ख़ौफ़ होता है, वही मुझ पर गुज़रती है।
Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
26 क्यूँकि मुझे न चैन है, न आराम है, न मुझे कल पड़ती है; बल्कि मुसीबत ही आती है।”
Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
