इजकिएल 19
1 “अब तैंले इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूका विरुद्धमा विलाप गर्,
Sing this funeral song 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 ।
with these words: “What was your mother? She was a lioness among the lions! She lay down in her place among the young lions and 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 raised one of her cubs, and he grew up to be young lion. Once he had learned how to tear up his prey, he started eating people.
4 तब जातिहरूले त्यसको बारेमा सुने । त्यो तिनीहरूको जालमा पर्यो, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई अङ्कुसेले समातेर मिश्रदेशमा लगे ।
But when the nations heard about him, he was caught in their trap. They used hooks to drag him away to 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 realized that the hope she had been waiting for was gone, she made another of her cubs 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 ।
He went around with the other lions, and became strong. Once he had learned how to tear up his prey, he started eating people.
7 त्यसले तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूलाई कब्जा गर्यो र तिनीहरूका सहरहरू उजाड पार्यो । त्यो गर्जेको आवाजले त्यो देश र त्यसको पूर्णतालाई त्यागियो ।
He tore down their fortresses and destroyed their towns. All the people living in the country were appalled when they heard him roaring.
8 तर छेउछाउका इलाकाबाट जातिहरू त्यसको विरुद्धमा आए । तिनीहरूले त्यसमाथि पासो थापे । तिनीहरूको पासोमा त्यो पर्यो ।
Then the people of the countries all around attacked him. They threw their net over him; he was caught in their trap.
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 used hooks to put him in a cage and took him to the king of Babylon. They led him away and imprisoned him so his roar wasn't heard any more in Israel's mountains.
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 planted in your vineyard at the waterside. It produced a lot of fruit and had many branches because it had plenty of water.
11 त्यसका हाँगाहरू बलिया थिए, जसलाई शासकको राजदण्डको लागि प्रयोग गरिए, र त्यसको आकार हाँगाहरूभन्दा माथि उठ्यो, र त्यसको उचाइचाहिं त्यसका पातहरूमा देखिन्थ्यो ।
Its branches were strong like rulers' scepters. It grew high above the tree canopy. People could see how tall and full of leaves it was.
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 anger and thrown down on the ground. The east wind blew and dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped of leaves and they withered. Then they were burned up in the fire.
13 यसैले अब त्यो उजाड-स्थानमा, सुक्खा र पानी नभएको ठाउँमा रोपियो ।
Now the vine has been replanted in the desert, in a dry and waterless 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 ।”
A fire blazed out from its main trunk and burned up its fruit. None of its branches that were once like a ruler's scepter are strong any more.” This is a funeral song and is to be used for mourning.
