< इजकिएल 19 >
1 “अब तैंले इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूका विरुद्धमा विलाप गर्,
Take up now a song of grief for the ruler of Israel, and say,
2 र भन्, 'तेरी आमा को थिई? एक सिंहिनी, त्यो सिंहका डमरुसँग बस्थी । त्यसले आफ्ना डमरुहरूलाई हुर्काउँदै तिनीहरूका बिचमा बस्थी ।
What was your mother? Like a she-lion among lions, stretched out among the young lions she gave food to her little ones.
3 आफ्ना डमरुमध्ये एउटालाई हुर्काएर जवान बनाउने त्यो नै थिई । त्यो सिंह जसले आफ्नो शिकारलाई फहराउन सिक्यो र त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई खायो ।
And one of her little ones came to growth under her care, and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.
4 तब जातिहरूले त्यसको बारेमा सुने । त्यो तिनीहरूको जालमा पर्यो, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई अङ्कुसेले समातेर मिश्रदेशमा लगे ।
And the nations had news of him; he was taken in the hole they had made: and, pulling him with hooks, they took him into 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 ।
Now when she saw that her hope was made foolish and gone, she took another of her little ones and made him into 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 ।
And he went up and down among the lions and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.
7 त्यसले तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूलाई कब्जा गर्यो र तिनीहरूका सहरहरू उजाड पार्यो । त्यो गर्जेको आवाजले त्यो देश र त्यसको पूर्णतालाई त्यागियो ।
And he sent destruction on their widows and made waste their towns; and the land and everything in it became waste because of the loud sound of his voice.
8 तर छेउछाउका इलाकाबाट जातिहरू त्यसको विरुद्धमा आए । तिनीहरूले त्यसमाथि पासो थापे । तिनीहरूको पासोमा त्यो पर्यो ।
Then the nations came against him from the kingdoms round about: their net was stretched over him and he was taken in the hole they had made.
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 ।
They made him a prisoner with hooks, and took him to the king of Babylon; they put him in the strong place so that his voice might be sounding 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 in comparison like a vine, planted by the waters: she was fertile and full of branches because of the great waters.
11 त्यसका हाँगाहरू बलिया थिए, जसलाई शासकको राजदण्डको लागि प्रयोग गरिए, र त्यसको आकार हाँगाहरूभन्दा माथि उठ्यो, र त्यसको उचाइचाहिं त्यसका पातहरूमा देखिन्थ्यो ।
And she had a strong rod for a rod of authority for the rulers, and it became tall among the clouds and it was seen lifted up among the number of its branches.
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 she was uprooted in burning wrath, and made low on the earth; the east wind came, drying her up, and her branches were broken off; her strong rod became dry, the fire made a meal of it.
13 यसैले अब त्यो उजाड-स्थानमा, सुक्खा र पानी नभएको ठाउँमा रोपियो ।
And now she is planted in the waste land, in a dry and unwatered country.
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 ।”
And fire has gone out from her rod, causing the destruction of her branches, so that there is no strong rod in her to be the ruler's rod of authority. This is a song of grief, and it was for a song of grief.
