Lamentations 3
1 I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
परमप्रभुको क्रोधको लाठोमुनि दुर्दशा देख्ने मानिस म नै हुँ ।
2 He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
उहाँले मलाई खेद्नुभयो, र उज्यालोमा भन्दा पनि अँध्यारोमा हिँड्न लगाउनुभयो ।
3 Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
निश्चय नै उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा पटक-पटक र दिनभरि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो ।
4 He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
उहाँले मेरो मासु र छाला गलाइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरा हाडहरू भाँचिदिनुभयो ।
5 He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा घेरा लगाउनुभयो, अनि तिक्तता र कठिनाइले मलाई घेर्नुभयो ।
6 He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
उहाँले मलाई धेरै पहिले मर्नेहरूजस्तै अन्धकार ठाउँहरूमा बस्न लगाउनुभयो ।
7 He has walled me about, so that I cannot go out. He has made my chain heavy.
उहाँले मरो चारैतिर पर्खाल लगाउनुभयो । त्यसैले म भाग्न सक्दिनँ । उहाँले मेरा साङ्लाहरू गह्रौँ बनाइदिनुभयो,
8 Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
र मैले सहायताको लागि पुकारे र चिच्च्याए तापनि उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना थुनिदिनुभयो ।
9 He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
काटिएको ढुङ्गाको पर्खालले उहाँले मेरो बाटो थुनिदिनुभयो । उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू बाङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो ।
10 He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
उहाँ आक्रमण गर्न ढुकेर बस्ने भालुजस्तो र लुकेर बस्ने सिंहजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू उल्टो बनाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बेसाहारा तुल्याइदिनुभयो ।
12 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
उहाँले आफ्नो धनुमा ताँदो चढाउनुभयो, र मलाई नै काँडको निसाना बनाउनुभयो ।
13 He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
उहाँले आफ्नो ठोक्रोका काँडहरूले मेरा मृगौला छेडिदिनुभयो ।
14 I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
म मेरा सबै मानिसका लागि हाँसोको पात्र बनेँ, र दिनभरि तिनीहरूको ठट्टाको निसाना बनेँ ।
15 He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भरिदिनुभयो, र ऐरेलु पिउन लगाउनुभयो ।
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
उहाँले रोडाले मेरा दाँत पिँध्नुभयो, र खरानीमा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिदिनुभयो ।
17 You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
मेरो प्राण शान्तिबाट वञ्चित भएको छ । प्रसन्नता के हो भनी मैले बिर्सेको छु ।
18 I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”
त्यसैले म भन्छु, “मेरो धैर्य नष्ट भएको छ, र मेरो भरोसा परमप्रभुमा नै छ ।”
19 Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
मेरो कष्ट र मेरो फिरन्तेपन, ऐरेलु र तिक्ततालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
20 My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
म निरन्तर यसलाई सम्झन्छु, र म मभित्रै हताश भएको छु ।
21 This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
तर म यो स्मरण गर्दछु । त्यसैले म आशा गर्दछुः
22 It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies do not fail.
परमप्रभुको अचुक प्रेम कहिल्यै समाप्त हुँदैन, र उहाँको दया कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
23 They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
ती हरेक बिहान नयाँ हुन्छन् । तपाईंको विश्वसनीयता महान् छ ।
24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
मैले भनेँ, “परमप्रभु मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुनुहुन्छ ।” त्यसैले म उहाँमा नै आशा गर्दछु ।
25 The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गर्नेहरू, उहाँको खोजी गर्नेहरूका निम्ति उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ ।
26 It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
मौन रूपमा परमप्रभुको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्नु राम्रो हुन्छ ।
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
आफ्नो युवावस्थामा जुवा बोक्नु मानिसको लागि राम्रो हुन्छ ।
28 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
त्यसमाथि यो राखिँदा त्यो एक्लै चुप लागेर बसोस् ।
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
त्यसले आफ्नो मुख धूलोमा लगाओस् । अझै पनि आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ ।
30 Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
त्यसलाई हिर्काउनेलाई त्यसले आफ्नो गाला पनि देओस्, र त्यो निन्दाले भरियोस् ।
31 For the Lord will not cast off forever.
किनकि परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सदासर्वदा त्याग्नुहुने छैन,
32 For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
तर उहाँले शोक ल्याउनुभए तापनि उहाँको अचुक प्रेमको प्रचुरतामुताबिक उहाँले दया देखाउनुहुने छ ।
33 For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
किनकि उहाँले हृदयबाट नै मानव-जातिका सन्तानलाई यातना दिनुहुन्न वा कष्ट दिनुहुन्न ।
34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
पृथ्वीका सबै कैदीलाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची पार्ने,
35 to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा मानिसको न्यायलाई इन्कार गर्ने,
36 to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
कुनै मानिसलाई न्यायबाट वञ्चित गर्नेजस्ता कुराहरू परमप्रभुले अनुमोदन गर्नुहुन्न ।
37 Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord does not command it?
परमप्रभुले उर्दी नगर्नुभएसम्म कसले बोलेको कुरा पुरा भएको छ?
38 Does not evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
के सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको मुखबाट नै विपत्ति र राम्रा कुराहरू दुवै आउँदैनन् र?
39 Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
कुनै जीवित मानिस कसरी गनगनाउन सक्छ? आफ्ना पापको लागि पाएको दण्डको विषयमा कुनचाहिँ व्यक्तिले गनगन गर्न सक्छ?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
हाम्रा मार्गको जाँच गरौँ, र तिनलाई जाँचेर परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्कौं ।
41 Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
हाम्रा हृदय र हाम्रा हात स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने परमेश्वमा उठाऔँ, र भनौँ:
42 “We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.
“हामीले आज्ञा उल्लङ्घन गरेका छौँ, र विद्रोह गरेका छौँ, अनि तपाईंले बिर्सनुभएको छैन ।
43 “You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
तपाईंले आफैलाई रिसले ढाक्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो पिछा गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मार्नुभएको छ, जोगाउनुभएको छैन ।
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
कुनै प्रार्थनाले नछेडोस् भनेर तपाईंले आफैलाई बादलले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
45 You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.
तपाईंले जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा हामीलाई फोहोरको थुप्रो र कसिङ्गर बनाउनुभएको छ ।
46 “All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
हाम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई हामीलाई सराप दिन अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।
47 Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”
आतङ्क र खतरा, उजाड र विनाश हामीमाथि आइपरेका छन् ।
48 My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
मेरा जाति नष्ट गरिएकाले मेरा आँखाबाट आँसुको धारा बहन्छ ।
49 My eye pours down and does not cease, without any intermission,
मेरा आँखाबाट नरोकिकन, विश्राम नगरीकन आँसु बहन्छ,
50 until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
जबसम्म परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्न ।
51 My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
मेरो सहरका सबै छोरीको कारण मेरा आँखाले मलाई शोकित तुल्याए ।
52 They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
मेरा शत्रुहरूद्वारा मलाई चरालाई झैँ सिकार गरिएको छ । विनाकारण तिनीहरूले मेरो सिकार गरे ।
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
तिनीहरूले मलाई खाडलमा फ्याँके, र मलाई ढुङ्गाले हाने,
54 Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I am cut off.”
अनि मेरो शिर ढाक्ने गरी तिनीहरूले पानीको बाढी ल्याए । मैले भनेँ, “मेरो अन्त्य आइसकेको छ ।”
55 I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
हे परमप्रभु, खाडलको गहिराइबाट मैले तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारेँ ।
56 You heard my voice: “Do not hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
“मैले मदतको लागि पुकार्दा तपाईंका कान बन्द नगर्नुहोस्” भनी मैले भन्दा तपाईंको मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो ।
57 You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Do not be afraid.”
मैले पुकार गरेको त्यस दिनमा तपाईं नजिक आउनुभयो । तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, “नडरा ।”
58 Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो पक्षमा लड्नुभयो । तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान बचाइदिनुभयो ।
59 LORD, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका खराबी तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ । मेरो मुद्दाको इन्साफ गरिदिनुहोस् ।
60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका अपमान, मेरो विरुद्धमा रचेका सबै षड्यन्त्र तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
61 You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their plans against me,
हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेका निन्दा र मेरो बारेमा भएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
62 the lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
मेरो विरुद्धमा मेरा शत्रुहरूका बोली र अभियोग दिनभरि आउँछन् ।
63 You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
तिनीहरू कसरी बस्छन्, र उठ्छन्, हेर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका गीतले मेरो ठट्टा गर्छन् ।
64 You will pay them back, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई बदला लिनुहोस् ।
65 You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदय लज्जित पर्न दिनुहुने छ । तपाईंको दण्डाज्ञा तिनीहरूमाथि परोस् ।
66 You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
हे परमप्रभु, रिसमा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई खेद्नुहुन्छ, र स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुहुन्छ ।
