विलापगीत 5
Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.
Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.
Orphans we have been — without a father, our mothers [are] as widows.
Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.
For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured — there hath been no rest for us.
[To] Egypt we have given a hand, [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
7 ७ आमच्या पूर्वजांनी तुझ्याविरुध्द पाप केले. आता ते नाहीत. पण त्यांच्या पापाची फळे आता आम्ही भोगत आहोत.
Our fathers have sinned — they are not, We their iniquities have borne.
Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from their hand.
With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.
Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the raging of the famine.
Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins — in cities of Judah.
Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders have not been honoured.
13 १३ आमच्या तरुणांना त्यांनी पिठाच्या जात्यावर दळावयास लावले. ते तरुण लाकडाच्या ढिगाऱ्याखाली अडखळले.
Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood have stumbled.
The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their song.
Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.
Fallen hath the crown [from] our head, Woe [is] now to us, for we have sinned.
For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.
For the mount of Zion — that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.
Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.
Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!
21 २१ परमेश्वरा, आम्हास तुझ्याकडे परत वळव. आम्ही आमच्या पातकाकरिता पश्चाताप करितो. पूर्वीप्रमाणेच आमच्या जुन्या दिवसाची पुनर्स्थापना कर.
Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.
For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us — exceedingly?
