अय्यूब 3
1 यसपछि अय्यूबले आफ्नो मुख खोले, र आफू जन्मेको दिनलाई सरापे ।
After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 तिनले भने,
Job answered:
3 “म जन्मेको दिन नष्ट होस्, त्यो रात जसले भन्यो, 'एउटा बालकको गर्भधारण भएको छ ।'
"Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, 'A man is conceived.'
4 त्यो दिन अन्धकार होस् । परमेश्वरले माथिबाट त्यसलाई याद नगरून्, न त यसमा घाम लागोस् ।
Let that day be darkness. May God above not care about it, neither let the light shine on it.
5 अन्धकार र मृत्युको छायाले आफ्नो लागि यसलाई दाबी गरून् । यसमाथि बादल लागोस् । दिनलाई अँध्यारो बनाउने हरेक कुराले यसलाई साँच्चै त्रसित पारोस् ।
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोले त्यो रातलाई समातोस् । वर्षका दिनहरूका बिचमा यो नरमाओस् । महिनाहरूको गन्तीमा यसको गणना नहोस् ।
As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
7 हेर, त्यो रात बाँझो होस् । यसमा कुनै हर्षको सोर नआओस् ।
Look, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come in it.
8 लिव्यातन्लाई कसरी ब्युँझाउने भनी जानेकाहरूले, त्यस दिनलाई सराप दिऊन् ।
Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
9 त्यो दिनको बिहानका ताराहरू अँध्यारो होऊन् । त्यो दिनले ज्योति खोजोस्, तर नपाओस्, न त यसले मिरमरेको प्रथम किरणलाई देख्न पाओस् ।
Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
10 किनभने यसले मेरी आमाको गर्भको ढोकालाई थुनेन, र किनभने यसले मेरा आँखाबाट कष्टलाई लुकाएन ।
because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11 मेरी आमाको गर्भबाट बाहिर निस्कँदा म किन मरिनँ? मेरी आमाले मलाई जन्माउँदा मैले आफ्नो आत्मा किन त्यागिनँ?
"Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
12 उनका घुँडाहरूले मलाई किन स्वागत गरे? मैले दूध चुस्नलाई उनका स्तनहरूले मलाई किन स्वीकार गरे?
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?
13 किनकि अहिले म चुप लागेर बसिरहेको हुन्थें । म सुतेको हुन्थें, र विश्राममा हुन्थें,
For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
14 पृथ्वीका राजाहरू र सल्लाहकारहरूका साथमा, जसले आफ्नै लागि चिहानहरू बनाए, जुन अहिले ध्वस्त छन् ।
with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
15 अर्थात् ती राजकुमारहरूसित म सुतिरहेको हुन्थें, जससित कुनै बेला सुन थियो, जसले आफ्ना घरहरूलाई चाँदीले भरेका थिए ।
or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 अर्थात् सायद म तुहेर जन्मने थिएँ, कदापि उज्यालो नदेख्ने शिशुहरूझैं हुन्थें ।
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
17 त्यहाँ दुष्टको अत्याचार सकिन्छ । त्यहाँ थाकितहरूले विश्राममा लिन्छन् ।
There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
18 त्यहाँ कैदीहरू सँगसँगै चैनमा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले कमाराको नाइकेको सोर सुन्नुपर्दैन ।
There the prisoners are at ease together. They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 त्यहाँ साना र ठुला दुवै थरिका मानिसहरू छन् । नोकर आफ्नो मालिकबाट स्वतन्त्र हुन्छ ।
The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
20 दुःखमा हुनेलाई किन ज्योति दिइन्छ? मनमा तितो हुनेलाई किन जीवन दिइन्छ?
"Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21 जसले मृत्यु नै नआई त्यसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ, जसले गाड्धनभन्दा धेरै मृत्यको लागि खाडल खन्छ ।
Who long for death, but it doesn't come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 जसले चिहान फेला पार्दा ज्यादै रमाउँछ र खुसी हुन्छ, त्यसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 जसको मार्ग लुकाइएको छ, र जुन मानिसलाई परमेश्वरले छेक्नुभएको छ, त्यस मानिसलाई ज्योति किन दिइन्छ?
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in?
24 किनकि मैले खानुको साटो सुस्केरा हाल्छु । मेरो वेदनाको सोर पानीझैं पोखिन्छ ।
For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25 जुन कुरोदेखि म डराउँथेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ । म जेदेखि भयभीत हुन्थेँ, त्यही मकहाँ आएको छ ।
For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me.
26 म चैनमा छैनँ, म मौन छैनँ, र मलाई विश्राम छैन । बरु सङ्कष्ट आउँछ ।”
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble comes."
