< Lamentations 2 >

1 How could My Lord, in his anger, enshroud in gloom, the daughter of Zion? have cast from the heavens to the earth, the beauty of Israel? and not have remembered his footstool, in the day of his anger?
परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीलाई आफ्नो रिसको बादलमुनि ढाक्‍नुभएको छ । उहाँले इस्राएलको गौरवलाई स्वर्गबाट तल पृथ्वीमा फ्याँकिदिनुभएको छ । आफ्नो रिसको दिनमा उहाँले आफ्नो पाउदानको सम्झना गर्नुभएको छैन ।
2 My Lord hath swallowed up—without pity—all the pastures of Jacob, hath laid waste—in his indignation—the strongholds of the daughter of Judah, hath brought them down to the ground, —hath profaned the kingdom, and the princes thereof.
परमरप्रभुले याकूबका सबै नगरलाई स्वाहा पार्नुभएको छ, र तिनलाई दया देखाउनुभएको छैन । उहाँको रिसको दिनमा उहाँले यहूदाकी छोरीका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू भत्काइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले राज्य र यसका शासकहरूलाई अपमानमा भुइँ ढाल्नुभएको छ ।
3 He hath broken off—in the glow of his anger—the whole horn of Israel, hath turned back his right hand, from the face of the foe, —and hath kindled against Jacob, a very fire of flame, devouring round about.
भयङ्कर रिसले उहाँले इस्राएलको हरेक सिङ काटिदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले शत्रुकै सामुन्‍ने आफ्नो दाहिने हात हटाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले याकूबलाई चारैतिर भस्म गर्ने दन्कँदो आगोले जलाउनुभएको छ ।
4 He hath trodden his bow like a foe, his right hand erect as an adversary, and hath slain all them who delighted the eye, —In the home of the daughter of Zion, hath he poured out, as fire, his indignation.
शत्रुले झैँ उहाँले धनु हामीतिर उठाउनुभएको छ । उहाँको दाहिने हात हान्‍नलाई तयार छ । सियोनकी छोरीको पालमा उहाँले आफूलाई प्रिय लाग्‍ने सबैलाई मार्नुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोध आगोझैँ खन्याउनुभएको छ ।
5 My Lord hath become like a foe, hath swallowed up Israel, hath swallowed up all her castles, ruined his strongholds, —and hath caused to abound, in the daughter of Judah, lamentation and mourning.
परमप्रभु शत्रुझैँ हुनुभएको छ । उहाँले इस्राएललाई निल्नुभएको छ । उहाँले त्यसका सबै महललाई निल्नुभएको छ । उहाँले त्यसका किल्लाहरूलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुभएको छ । उहाँले यहूदाकी छोरीमा शोक र विलाप बढाउनुभएको छ ।
6 Thus hath he destroyed, like a garden, his pavilion, hath laid waste his place of assembly, —Yahweh, hath caused to be forgotten, in Zion, the appointed assembly and the sabbath, and hath spurned, in the indignation of his anger, the king and the priest.
उहाँले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानलाई बगैँचाको छाप्रोलाई झैँ आक्रमण गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले पवित्र सभाको स्थानलाई नष्‍ट गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुले सियोनमा पवित्र सभा र शबाथ दुवैलाई बिर्सन लगाउनुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँले आफ्नो भयानक रिसमा राजा र पुजारी दुवैलाई तिरस्कार गर्नुभएको छ ।
7 My Lord hath rejected his altar, hath abhorred his sanctuary, hath delivered, into the hand of the foe, the walls of her castles, —A voice, have they uttered in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed assembly.
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो वेदीलाई तिरस्कार गर्नुभएको छ, र पवित्र वासस्थानलाई त्यागिदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले त्यसका महलहरूका पर्खालहरू शत्रुको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभएको छ । तोकिएको चाडको दिनमा जस्तै तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा विजयको ध्वनि लगाएका छन् ।
8 Yahweh hath devised to lay in ruins, the wall of the daughter of Zion, he hath stretched out a line, he hath not turned back his hand from swallowing up, —Thus hath he caused to mourn—rampart and wall, together, have they languished!
परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीको सहरको पर्खाललाई नष्‍ट गर्ने निधो गर्नुभयो । उहाँले नाप्‍ने फित्ता तन्काउनुभयो, र पर्खाललाई नष्‍ट गर्नबाट आफ्नो हात रोक्‍नुभएको छैन । उहाँले गढी र पर्खाललाई विलाप गर्न लगाउनुभयो । ती सँगसँगै भत्के ।
9 Her gates, have sunk in the earth, He hath destroyed and broken in pieces, her bars, —Her king and her princes, are among the nations, There is no instruction, Even her prophets, have found no vision, from Yahweh.
त्यसका मूल ढोकाहरू भुइँमा ढलेका छन् । उहाँले त्यसका मूल ढोकाका गजबारहरू नष्‍ट गर्नुभएको छ, र भाँच्नुभएको छ । त्यसका राजा र राजकुमारहरू जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा छन्, र व्यवस्था रहँदैन, अनि त्यसका अगमवक्ताहरूले परमप्रभुबाट कुनै दर्शन पाउँदैनन् ।
10 Seated on the ground, in silence, are the elders of the daughter of Zion, They have lifted up dust on their head, have girded themselves with sackcloth, —Bowed down to the ground is the head, of the virgins of Jerusalem.
सियोनकी छोरीका धर्म-गुरुहरू चुप लागेर भुइँमा बस्छन् । तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शिरमा धूलो हालेका छन्, र भाङ्ग्रा लगाएका छन् । यरूशलेमका कन्याहरूले भुइँमा आ-आफ्ना शिर झुकाएका छन् ।
11 Blinded with tears are mine eyes, In ferment is my body, Poured out to the earth is my grief, for the sore hurt of the daughter of my people, —when child and suckling are swooning, in the broadways of the city.
तिनीहरूको आँसुले मेरा आँखा टट्टाइसक्यो । मेरो पेट हुँडल्छ । मेरा मानिसहरूकी छोरीको विनाशको कारण मेरा मेरो हृदय छियाछिया भयो । बालबच्‍चा र दुधे बालकहरू सहरका सडकहरूमा मुर्छा खान्छन् ।
12 To their mothers, they keep saying, Where are corn and wine? Swooning off, like one thrust through, in the broadways of the city, pouring out their life into the bosom of their mothers.
तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आमाहरूलाई भन्छन्, “अन्‍न र दाखमद्य कहाँ छन्?” तिनीहरू सहरका सडकहरूमा घाइतेझैँ मुर्छा पर्दा तिनीहरूका प्राण तिनीहरूका आमाहरूको काखमा शिथिल हुन्छन् ।
13 How shall I solemnly admonish thee? What shall I liken to thee, thou daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare with thee, that I may comfort thee, thou virgin, daughter of Zion? for, great as the sea, is thy grievous injury, Who can heal thee?
हे यरूशलेमकी छोरी, म तँलाई के भनूँ? हे सियोनकी छोरी, तँलाई सान्त्वना दिन तँलाई म केसित तुलना गरूँ? तेरो घाउ समुद्रजस्तै विशाल भएको छ । कसले तँलाई निको पार्न सक्छ?
14 Thy prophets, have had visions for thee, false and foolish, and have not unveiled thine iniquity, to turn back thy captivity, —Yea they have had visions for thee, oracles of falsehood, and enticements!
तेरा अगमवक्ताहरूले तेरो लागि झुटा र बेकम्मा दर्शनहरू देखेका छन् । तेरो सुदिन पुनर्स्थापित गर्न तिनीहरूले तेरो अधर्मको पर्दाफास गरेका छैनन्, तर तिनीहरूले तँलाई झुटा र गलत वचनहरू दिएका छन् ।
15 All passing by, have clapped, over thee, their hands, have hissed and wagged their head over the daughter of Jerusalem, —[saying], Is, this, the city, of which men used to say—The perfection of beauty! A joy to the whole earth!
यस सडक भएर जानेहरू सबैले तँलाई देखेर थपडी मार्छन् । यरूशलेमकी छोरीको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूले गिल्ला गर्छन्, र आफ्ना शिर हल्लाउँछन्, अनि भन्छन्, “के यो त्यही सहर हो जसलाई तिनीहरूले 'परम सुन्दरी' र 'सारा पृथ्वीको आनन्द' भन्थे?”
16 All thy foes, have opened wide, over thee their mouth, They have hissed, and gnashed their teeth, They have said—We have swallowed [her] up! Surely, this, is the day for which we have waited, We have found! We have seen!
तेरा सबै शत्रुले तेरो विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूका मुख खोल्छन् । तिनीहरूले खिसी गरेर रिसमा आफ्ना दाह्रा किट्छन्, र भन्छन्, “हामीले त्यसलाई निलेका छौँ । हामी यही दिनको प्रतीक्षामा थियौँ । यही हेर्न हामी बाँचेका छौँ ।”
17 Yahweh hath done what he thought, hath carried out his word, wherewith he gave charge in the days of old, hath thrown down, and not spared, —Thus hath he let the enemy rejoice over thee, hath raised high the horn of thine adversaries.
परमप्रभुले जे गर्ने योजना बनाउनुभयो, त्यही गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो वचन पुरा गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले दया नदेखाइकन तँलाई फ्याँकिदिनुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँले तँलाई देखेर तेरो शत्रुलाई रमाउने अनुमति दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले तेरा शत्रुहरूको सिङ उठाउनुभएको छ ।
18 Their heart, hath made outcry, unto My Lord, —O wall of the daughter of Zion—Let tears run down as a torrent day and night, Do not give thyself relief, Let not the weeping of thine eye cease!
हे सियोनकी छोरीका पर्खालहरू हो, तिनीहरूका हृदयले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे । दिनरात नदीझैँ तेरा आँसु बगा । कत्ति पनि विश्राम नले; तेरा आँखालाई विश्राम नदे ।
19 Arise, cry out in the night, At the beginning of the watches, pour out, like waters, thy heart, right before the face of My Lord, —Lift up, above thee, the palms of thy hands, for the life of thy children, who are swooning for hunger, at the top of all the streets!
रातको हरेक पहरको सुरुमा उठेर चिच्‍च्या । परमप्रभुको मुहारको सामुन्‍ने तेरो हृदय पानीझैँ खन्या । हरेक सडकको कुनामा भोकले मुर्छा पर्ने तेरा बालबच्‍चाका प्राणको लागि तेरा हात उहाँतिर उठा ।
20 See, O Yahweh, and do consider, to whom thou hast acted thus severely, —Will women, devour, their own fruit—the children they have dandled? Shall priest and prophet, be slain in the sanctuary of My Lord?
हे परमप्रभु, हेर्नुहोस्, र यसरी व्यवहार गर्नेहरूलाई विचार गर्नुहोस् । के स्‍त्रीहरूले आफ्नै गर्भको फल अर्थात् आफैले जन्माएका बालबच्‍चालाई खाने? के पुजारी र अगमवक्ता परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानमा मारिने?
21 Youth and elder, have lain down on the ground in the streets, My virgins and my young men, have fallen by the sword, —Thou hast slain, in the day of thine anger, Thou hast slaughtered, hast not spared!
युवाहरू र पाकाहरू सडकहरूका धूलोमा पस्रिन्छन् । मेरा युवतीहरू र युवाहरू तरवारले ढालिएका छन् । तिनीहरूलाई दया नदेखाइकन तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नुभएको छ ।
22 Wilt thou proclaim, like the day of an appointed meeting—My terrors round about? when there was not—in the day of the anger of Yahweh—fugitive or survivor, —Those whom I dandled and reared, my foe hath destroyed.
चाडको दिनमा मानिसहरू भेला गरेँझैँ तपाईंले मेरो हरेक किनारामा मेरा त्रासहरूलाई बोलाउनुभएको छ । परमप्रभुको रिसको दिनमा कोही पनि उम्केन वा बाँचेन । मैले वास्ता गरेका र हुर्काएकाहरूलाई मेरो शत्रुले नष्‍ट पारेको छ ।
