< Lamentations 4 >
1 How is the golde become so dimme? the most fine golde is changed, and the stones of the Sanctuarie are scattered in the corner of euery streete.
सुनको चमक हराएको छ । कसरी निखुर सुन बद्लेको छ! पवित्र पत्थरहरू हरेक सडकको कुनामा छरपष्ट छन् ।
2 The noble men of Zion coparable to fine golde, howe are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, euen the worke of the handes of the potter!
सियोनका मूल्यवान् छोराहरू निखुर सुनका तौलजत्तिकै योग्य थिए, तर अहिले तिनीहरू कुमालेको हातका काम अर्थात् माटोको भाँडाजत्तिकै पनि गनिएका छैनन्।
3 Euen the dragons draw out the breastes, and giue sucke to their yong, but the daughter of my people is become cruell like the ostriches in the wildernesse.
स्यालका माउहरूले पनि आफ्ना बच्चाहरूलाई थुन चुस्न दिन्छन्, तर मेरो जातिकी छोरी मरुभूमिका अस्ट्रिचहरूझैँ क्रुर भएकी छे ।
4 The tongue of the sucking childe cleaueth to the roofe of his mouth for thirst: the yong children aske bread, but no man breaketh it vnto them.
दूध चुस्ने शिशुको जिब्रो तिर्खाले गर्दा तालुमा टाँसिन्छ । बालबालिकाहरूले खानेकुरा माग्छन्, तर तिनीहरूका लागि केही छैन ।
5 They that did feede delicately, perish in the streetes: they that were brought vp in skarlet, embrace the dongue.
मिठा-मिठा खानेकुरा खाएर भोज गर्नेहरू सडकहरूमा भोकले मर्छन् । वैजनी वस्त्र लगाएर हुर्काइएकाहरू अहिले खरानीको थुप्रोमा बस्छन् ।
6 For the iniquitie of the daughter of my people is become greater then the sinne of Sodom, that was destroyed as in a moment, and none pitched campes against her.
मेरो जातिकी छोरीको दण्ड सदोमको भन्दा ठुलो छ, जसलाई एकै क्षणमा फ्याँकिएको थियो, र कसैको हातले त्यसलाई सहायता गरेको थिएन ।
7 Her Nazarites were purer then the snowe, and whiter then ye milke: they were more ruddie in bodie, then the redde precious stones; they were like polished saphir.
त्यसका अगुवाहरू हिउँभन्दा शुद्ध, दूधभन्दा सेता थिए । तिनीहरूका शरीर मानिकभन्दा राता थिए; तिनीहरूका रूप नीरजस्तै थिए ।
8 Nowe their visage is blacker then a cole: they can not knowe them in the streetes: their skinne cleaueth to their bones: it is withered like a stocke.
अहिले तिनीहरू मुहार मोसोभन्दा कालो छ । तिनीहरू सडकहरूमा चिनिँदैनन् । तिनीहरूको छाला हड्डीहरूमा टाँसिएको छ । यो काठ जत्तिकै सुक्खा भएको छ ।
9 They that be slaine with the sword are better, then they that are killed with hunger: for they fade away as they were striken through for the fruites of the fielde.
तरवारले मारिएकाहरू भोकले मरेकाहरूभन्दा खुसी थिए । जमिनको फसलको कमीको कारणले तिनीहरू भोकाएर सुक्दै जान्छन्।
10 The hands of the pitifull women haue sodden their owne children, which were their meate in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
दयालु स्त्रीहरूका हातले तिनीहरूका आफ्नै बालबच्चा पकाएका छन् । मेरो जातिकी छोरीलाई नष्ट पारिँदा ती बालबच्चा तिनीहरूको खानेकुरा बने ।
11 The Lord hath accomplished his indignation: he hath powred out his fierce wrath, he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath deuoured the foundations thereof.
परमप्रभुले आफ्ना सबै क्रोध देखाउनुभयो । उहाँले आफ्नो भयङ्कर रिस खन्याउनुभयो । उहाँले सियोनमा आगो सल्काउनुभयो जसले त्यसका जगहरूलाई भस्म पार्यो ।
12 The Kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not haue beleeued that the aduersarie and the enemie should haue entred into the gates of Ierusalem:
शत्रुहरू वा विरोधीहरू यरूशलेमका मूल ढोकाहरूभित्र प्रवेश गर्न सक्नेथिए भनी पृथ्वीका राजाहरूले विश्वास गरेनन्, न त संसारको कुनै बासिन्दाले विश्वास गर्यो ।
13 For the sinnes of her Prophets, and the iniquities of her Priests, that haue shed the blood of the iust in the middes of her.
त्यसका अगमवक्ताहरू र त्यसका पुजारीहरूका अधर्मको कारणले यसो भएको थियो, जसले त्यसकै बिचमा धर्मीहरूको रगत बगाएका थिए ।
14 They haue wandred as blinde men in the streetes, and they were polluted with blood, so that they would not touch their garments.
अन्धाहरूझैँ तिनीहरू सडकहरूमा यताउता हिँड्छन् । त्यस रगतद्वारा तिनीहरू यति दुषित पारिएका थिए, कि तिनीहरूका लुगा छुन कसैलाई अनुमति दिइएन ।
15 But they cried vnto them, Depart, ye polluted, depart, depart, touch not: therefore they fled away, and wandered: they haue sayd among the heathen, They shall no more dwell there.
तिनीहरूलाई देखेर मानिसहरू चिच्च्याउँछन्, “भाग, हे अशुद्धहरू हो! भाग! भाग! नछोओ!” त्यसैले तिनीहरू यताउता भौँतारिए । मानिसहरूले जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा भने, “अबदेखि उसो तिनीहरू यहाँ बस्न सक्दैनन् ।”
16 The anger of the Lord hath scattered them, he will no more regard them: they reuerenced not the face of the Priestes, nor had compassion of the Elders.
परमप्रभु आफैले तिनीहरूलाई तितरबितर पारिदिनुभयो । उहाँले फेरि तिनीहरूको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्न । तिनीहरूले पुजारीहरूको आदर गर्दैनन्, र तिनीहरूले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई निगाह गरेनन् ।
17 Whiles we waited for our vaine helpe, our eyes failed: for in our waiting we looked for a nation that could not saue vs.
सहायताको लागि प्रतीक्षा गर्दा-गर्दा हाम्रा आँखा व्यर्थमा टट्टाइसके । हाम्रा धरहराहरूबाट हामीले एउटा जातिको बाटो हेर्यौँ, जसले हामीलाई बचाउन सकेन ।
18 They hunt our steppes that we cannot goe in our streetes: our ende is neere, our dayes are fulfilled, for our ende is come.
तिनीहरूले हाम्रा पाइलाहरू पछ्याए । हामी हाम्रा सडकहरूमा हिँड्न सकेनौँ । हाम्रो अन्त्य नजिकै थियो, र हाम्रा दिन गन्ती गरिए । हाम्रो अन्त्य आइसकेको थियो ।
19 Our persecuters are swifter then the eagles of the heauen: they pursued vs vpon the mountaines, and layed waite for vs in the wildernes.
हामीले खेद्नेहरू आकाशका चीलहरूभन्दा पनि छिटा थिए । तिनीहरूले हामीलाई पहाडहरूसम्मे खेदे, र उजाड-स्थानमा हामीलाई ढुकिबसे ।
20 The breath of our nostrels, the Anoynted of the Lord was taken in their nets, of whome we sayde, Vnder his shadowe we shalbe preserued aliue among the heathen.
परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त जन अर्थात् हाम्रो प्राणधार तिनीहरूको पासोमा परे, जसको बारेमा यसो भनिएको थियो, “उहाँकै छायामुनि हामी जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा बस्ने छौँ ।”
21 Reioyce and be glad, O daughter Edom, that dwellest in the lande of Vz, the cuppe also shall passe through vnto thee: thou shalt be drunken and vomit.
हे ऊज देशमा बस्ने एदोमकी छोरी, रमा, र खुसी हो । तर तँलाई त्यो कचौरा पनि दिइने छ । तँ मात्नेछेस्, र नाङ्गो पारिने छेस् ।
22 Thy punishment is accomplished, O daughter Zion: he will no more carie thee away into captiuitie, but he will visite thine iniquitie, O daughter Edom, he wil discouer thy sinnes.
हे सियोनकी छोरी, तेरो दण्ड समाप्त हुने छ । उहाँले तेरो निर्वासनको समय लम्ब्याउनुहुने छैन । तर हे एदोमकी छोरी, उहाँले तँलाई दण्ड दिनुहुने छ । उहाँले तेरा पाप प्रकट गरिदिनुहुने छ ।
