इजकिएल 19
1 “अब तैंले इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूका विरुद्धमा विलाप गर्,
“As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel
2 र भन्, 'तेरी आमा को थिई? एक सिंहिनी, त्यो सिंहका डमरुसँग बस्थी । त्यसले आफ्ना डमरुहरूलाई हुर्काउँदै तिनीहरूका बिचमा बस्थी ।
and say: ‘What was your mother? A lioness among the lions! She lay down among the young lions; she reared her cubs.
3 आफ्ना डमरुमध्ये एउटालाई हुर्काएर जवान बनाउने त्यो नै थिई । त्यो सिंह जसले आफ्नो शिकारलाई फहराउन सिक्यो र त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई खायो ।
She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
4 तब जातिहरूले त्यसको बारेमा सुने । त्यो तिनीहरूको जालमा पर्यो, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई अङ्कुसेले समातेर मिश्रदेशमा लगे ।
When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt.
5 त्यसले ऊ फर्केर आउँछ कि भनी आशा गरे तापनि आफ्नो आशा खेर गएको देखी । यसैले त्यसले आफ्नो अर्को डमरुलाई लिएर र त्यसलाई जवान सिंह हुनलाई हुर्काई ।
When she saw that she had waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 त्यो जवान सिंह अरू सिंहहरूका माझमा यताउता हिंड्डुल गर्न लाग्यो । त्यो एउटा बलियो जवान सिंह भएको थियो र त्यसले शिकारलाई फहराउन सिक्यो । त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई खान लाग्यो ।
He prowled among the lions, and became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
7 त्यसले तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूलाई कब्जा गर्यो र तिनीहरूका सहरहरू उजाड पार्यो । त्यो गर्जेको आवाजले त्यो देश र त्यसको पूर्णतालाई त्यागियो ।
He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it shuddered at the sound of his roaring.
8 तर छेउछाउका इलाकाबाट जातिहरू त्यसको विरुद्धमा आए । तिनीहरूले त्यसमाथि पासो थापे । तिनीहरूको पासोमा त्यो पर्यो ।
Then the nations set out against him from the provinces on every side. They spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit.
9 अङ्कुसेले समातेर तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई एउटा खोरमा हाले, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बेबिलोनको राजाकहाँ लगे । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई किल्लाहरूमा ल्याए ताकि इस्राएलका डाँडाहरूमा त्यसको आवाज फेरि कहिल्यै सुनिनेछैन ।
With hooks they caged him and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
10 तेरी आमा पानीको छेउमा तेरो रगतमा रोपिएको दाखको बोटजस्तै थिई । प्रशस्त पानीको कारणले त्यो फलवन्त र हाँगैहाँगाले पूर्ण थियो ।
Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters.
11 त्यसका हाँगाहरू बलिया थिए, जसलाई शासकको राजदण्डको लागि प्रयोग गरिए, र त्यसको आकार हाँगाहरूभन्दा माथि उठ्यो, र त्यसको उचाइचाहिं त्यसका पातहरूमा देखिन्थ्यो ।
It had strong branches, fit for a ruler’s scepter. It towered high above the thick branches, conspicuous for its height and for its dense foliage.
12 तर त्यो दाखको बोट क्रोधमा उखेलियो, र जमिनमा फालियो, र पूर्वीय बतासले त्यसका फललाई सुकाइदियो । त्यसका बलिया हाँगाहरू भाँचिए र सुके, र आगोले ती भस्म पारिए ।
But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them.
13 यसैले अब त्यो उजाड-स्थानमा, सुक्खा र पानी नभएको ठाउँमा रोपियो ।
Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14 किनकि त्यसका ठुला हाँगाहरूबाट आगो निस्क्यो, र त्यसका फलहरू भस्म पार्यो । त्यसमा कुनै बलियो हाँगा बाँकी रहेन, शासन गर्ने राजदण्ड पनि रहेन ।' यो एउटा विलापको गीत हो, र विलापको गीतको रूपमा गाउनुपर्छ ।”
Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a lament and shall be used as a lament.”
