Lamentations 3
1 ALEPH. I am the man that sees poverty, through the rod of his wrath upon me.
परमप्रभुको क्रोधको लाठोमुनि दुर्दशा देख्ने मानिस म नै हुँ ।
2 He has taken me, and led me away into darkness, and not [into] light.
उहाँले मलाई खेद्नुभयो, र उज्यालोमा भन्दा पनि अँध्यारोमा हिँड्न लगाउनुभयो ।
3 Nay, against me has he turned his hand all the day.
निश्चय नै उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा पटक-पटक र दिनभरि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो ।
4 He has made old my flesh and my skin; he has broken my bones.
उहाँले मेरो मासु र छाला गलाइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरा हाडहरू भाँचिदिनुभयो ।
5 BETH. He has built against me, and compassed my head, and brought travail [upon me].
उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा घेरा लगाउनुभयो, अनि तिक्तता र कठिनाइले मलाई घेर्नुभयो ।
6 He has set me in dark places, as them that have long been dead.
उहाँले मलाई धेरै पहिले मर्नेहरूजस्तै अन्धकार ठाउँहरूमा बस्न लगाउनुभयो ।
7 He has builded against me, and I cannot come forth: he has made my brazen [chain] heavy.
उहाँले मरो चारैतिर पर्खाल लगाउनुभयो । त्यसैले म भाग्न सक्दिनँ । उहाँले मेरा साङ्लाहरू गह्रौँ बनाइदिनुभयो,
8 GIMEL. Yea, [though] I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
र मैले सहायताको लागि पुकारे र चिच्च्याए तापनि उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना थुनिदिनुभयो ।
9 DALETH. He has built up my ways, he has hedged my paths;
काटिएको ढुङ्गाको पर्खालले उहाँले मेरो बाटो थुनिदिनुभयो । उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू बाङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो ।
10 he has troubled me, [as] a she-bear lying in wait: he is to me [as] a lion in secret places.
उहाँ आक्रमण गर्न ढुकेर बस्ने भालुजस्तो र लुकेर बस्ने सिंहजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 He pursued [me] after I departed, and brought me to a stand: he has utterly ruined me.
उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू उल्टो बनाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बेसाहारा तुल्याइदिनुभयो ।
12 HE. 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 arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
उहाँले आफ्नो ठोक्रोका काँडहरूले मेरा मृगौला छेडिदिनुभयो ।
14 I became a laughing-stock to all my people; and their song all the day.
म मेरा सबै मानिसका लागि हाँसोको पात्र बनेँ, र दिनभरि तिनीहरूको ठट्टाको निसाना बनेँ ।
15 VAU. He has filled me with bitterness, he has drenched me with gall.
उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भरिदिनुभयो, र ऐरेलु पिउन लगाउनुभयो ।
16 And he has dashed out my teeth with gravel, he has fed me with ashes.
उहाँले रोडाले मेरा दाँत पिँध्नुभयो, र खरानीमा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिदिनुभयो ।
17 He has also removed my soul from peace: I forgot prosperity.
मेरो प्राण शान्तिबाट वञ्चित भएको छ । प्रसन्नता के हो भनी मैले बिर्सेको छु ।
18 Therefore my success has perished, and my hope from the Lord.
त्यसैले म भन्छु, “मेरो धैर्य नष्ट भएको छ, र मेरो भरोसा परमप्रभुमा नै छ ।”
19 ZAIN. I remembered by reason of my poverty, and because of persecution my bitterness and gall shall be remembered;
मेरो कष्ट र मेरो फिरन्तेपन, ऐरेलु र तिक्ततालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
20 and my soul shall meditate with me.
म निरन्तर यसलाई सम्झन्छु, र म मभित्रै हताश भएको छु ।
21 This will I lay up in my heart, therefore I will endure.
तर म यो स्मरण गर्दछु । त्यसैले म आशा गर्दछुः
22 HETH. [It is] the mercies of the Lord, that he has not failed me, because his compassions are not exhausted. Pity [us], O Lord, early [every] month: for we are not brought to an end, because his compassions are not exhausted.
परमप्रभुको अचुक प्रेम कहिल्यै समाप्त हुँदैन, र उहाँको दया कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
23 [They are] new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
ती हरेक बिहान नयाँ हुन्छन् । तपाईंको विश्वसनीयता महान् छ ।
24 The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for him.
मैले भनेँ, “परमप्रभु मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुनुहुन्छ ।” त्यसैले म उहाँमा नै आशा गर्दछु ।
25 TETH. The Lord is good to them that wait for him: the soul which shall seek him
परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गर्नेहरू, उहाँको खोजी गर्नेहरूका निम्ति उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ ।
26 [is] good, and shall wait for, and quietly expect salvation of the Lord.
मौन रूपमा परमप्रभुको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्नु राम्रो हुन्छ ।
27 TETH. [It is] good for a man when he bears a yoke in his youth.
आफ्नो युवावस्थामा जुवा बोक्नु मानिसको लागि राम्रो हुन्छ ।
28 He will sit alone, and be silent, because he has borne [it] upon him.
त्यसमाथि यो राखिँदा त्यो एक्लै चुप लागेर बसोस् ।
त्यसले आफ्नो मुख धूलोमा लगाओस् । अझै पनि आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ ।
30 JOD. He will give [his] cheek to him that smites him: he will be filled full with reproaches.
त्यसलाई हिर्काउनेलाई त्यसले आफ्नो गाला पनि देओस्, र त्यो निन्दाले भरियोस् ।
31 For the Lord will not reject for ever.
किनकि परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सदासर्वदा त्याग्नुहुने छैन,
32 CHAPH. For he that has brought down will pity, and [that] according to the abundance of his mercy.
तर उहाँले शोक ल्याउनुभए तापनि उहाँको अचुक प्रेमको प्रचुरतामुताबिक उहाँले दया देखाउनुहुने छ ।
33 He has not answered [in anger] from his heart, though he has brought low the children of a man.
किनकि उहाँले हृदयबाट नै मानव-जातिका सन्तानलाई यातना दिनुहुन्न वा कष्ट दिनुहुन्न ।
34 LAMED. To bring down under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
पृथ्वीका सबै कैदीलाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची पार्ने,
35 to turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the Most High,
सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा मानिसको न्यायलाई इन्कार गर्ने,
36 to condemn a man [unjustly] in his judgment, the Lord has not given commandment.
कुनै मानिसलाई न्यायबाट वञ्चित गर्नेजस्ता कुराहरू परमप्रभुले अनुमोदन गर्नुहुन्न ।
37 Who has thus spoken, and it has come to pass? the Lord has not commanded it.
परमप्रभुले उर्दी नगर्नुभएसम्म कसले बोलेको कुरा पुरा भएको छ?
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High there shall not come forth evil and good.
के सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको मुखबाट नै विपत्ति र राम्रा कुराहरू दुवै आउँदैनन् र?
39 MEM. Why should a living man complain, a man concerning his sin?
कुनै जीवित मानिस कसरी गनगनाउन सक्छ? आफ्ना पापको लागि पाएको दण्डको विषयमा कुनचाहिँ व्यक्तिले गनगन गर्न सक्छ?
40 NUN. Our way has been searched out and examined, and we will turn to the Lord.
हाम्रा मार्गको जाँच गरौँ, र तिनलाई जाँचेर परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्कौं ।
41 Let us lift up our hearts with [our] hand to the lofty One in heaven.
हाम्रा हृदय र हाम्रा हात स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने परमेश्वमा उठाऔँ, र भनौँ:
42 We have sinned, we have transgressed; and thou hast not pardoned.
“हामीले आज्ञा उल्लङ्घन गरेका छौँ, र विद्रोह गरेका छौँ, अनि तपाईंले बिर्सनुभएको छैन ।
43 SAMECH. Thou has visited [us] in wrath, and driven us away: thou has slain, thou has not pitied.
तपाईंले आफैलाई रिसले ढाक्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो पिछा गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मार्नुभएको छ, जोगाउनुभएको छैन ।
44 Thou hast veiled thyself with a cloud because of prayer, that I might be blind,
कुनै प्रार्थनाले नछेडोस् भनेर तपाईंले आफैलाई बादलले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
45 and be cast off. AIN. Thou hast set us [alone] in the midst of the nations.
तपाईंले जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा हामीलाई फोहोरको थुप्रो र कसिङ्गर बनाउनुभएको छ ।
46 All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
हाम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई हामीलाई सराप दिन अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।
47 Fear and wrath are come upon us, suspense and destruction.
आतङ्क र खतरा, उजाड र विनाश हामीमाथि आइपरेका छन् ।
48 Mine eye shall pour down torrents of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
मेरा जाति नष्ट गरिएकाले मेरा आँखाबाट आँसुको धारा बहन्छ ।
49 PHE. Mine eye is drowned [with tears], and I will not be silent, so that there shall be no rest,
मेरा आँखाबाट नरोकिकन, विश्राम नगरीकन आँसु बहन्छ,
50 until the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
जबसम्म परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्न ।
51 Mine eye shall prey upon my soul, because of all the daughters of the city.
मेरो सहरका सबै छोरीको कारण मेरा आँखाले मलाई शोकित तुल्याए ।
52 TSADE. The fowlers chased me as a sparrow, all mine enemies destroyed my life in a pit without cause,
मेरा शत्रुहरूद्वारा मलाई चरालाई झैँ सिकार गरिएको छ । विनाकारण तिनीहरूले मेरो सिकार गरे ।
53 and laid a stone upon me.
तिनीहरूले मलाई खाडलमा फ्याँके, र मलाई ढुङ्गाले हाने,
54 Water 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 KOPH. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon.
हे परमप्रभु, खाडलको गहिराइबाट मैले तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारेँ ।
56 Thou heardest my voice: close not thine ears to my supplication.
“मैले मदतको लागि पुकार्दा तपाईंका कान बन्द नगर्नुहोस्” भनी मैले भन्दा तपाईंको मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो ।
57 Thou drewest nigh to my help: in the day wherein I called upon thee thou saidst to me, Fear not.
मैले पुकार गरेको त्यस दिनमा तपाईं नजिक आउनुभयो । तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, “नडरा ।”
58 RECHS. O Lord, thou has pleaded the causes of my soul; thou has redeemed my life.
हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो पक्षमा लड्नुभयो । तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान बचाइदिनुभयो ।
59 Thou hast seen, O Lord, my troubles: thou hast judged my cause.
हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका खराबी तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ । मेरो मुद्दाको इन्साफ गरिदिनुहोस् ।
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, [thou hast looked] on all their devices against me.
तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका अपमान, मेरो विरुद्धमा रचेका सबै षड्यन्त्र तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
61 CHSEN. Thou hast heard their reproach [and] all their devices against me;
हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेका निन्दा र मेरो बारेमा भएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
62 the lips of them that rose up against me, and their plots against me all the day;
मेरो विरुद्धमा मेरा शत्रुहरूका बोली र अभियोग दिनभरि आउँछन् ।
63 their sitting down and their rising up: look thou upon their eyes.
तिनीहरू कसरी बस्छन्, र उठ्छन्, हेर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका गीतले मेरो ठट्टा गर्छन् ।
64 Thou wilt render them a recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands.
हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई बदला लिनुहोस् ।
65 THAU. Thou wilt give them [as] a covering, the grief of my heart.
तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदय लज्जित पर्न दिनुहुने छ । तपाईंको दण्डाज्ञा तिनीहरूमाथि परोस् ।
66 Thou wilt persecute them in anger, and wilt consume them from under the heaven, O Lord.
हे परमप्रभु, रिसमा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई खेद्नुहुन्छ, र स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुहुन्छ ।
