1 “अब तैंले इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूका विरुद्धमा विलाप गर्,
Moreover do you take up a lamentation for the prince of Israel,
2 र भन्‌, 'तेरी आमा को थिई? एक सिंहिनी, त्यो सिंहका डमरुसँग बस्थी । त्यसले आफ्ना डमरुहरूलाई हुर्काउँदै तिनीहरूका बिचमा बस्थी ।
and say, Why is your mother become a whelp in the midst of lions? in the midst of lions she has multiplied her whelps.
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 whelps sprang forth; he became a lion, and learned to take prey, he devoured men.
4 तब जातिहरूले त्‍यसको बारेमा सुने । त्यो तिनीहरूको जालमा पर्‍यो, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई अङ्‌कुसेले समातेर मिश्रदेशमा लगे ।
And the nations heard a report of him; he was caught in their pit, and they brought him into the land of Egypt in chains.
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 ।
And she saw that he was driven away from her, [and] her hope [of him] perished, and she took another of her whelps; she made him a 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 in the midst of lions, he became a lion, and learned to take prey, he devoured men.
7 त्‍यसले तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूलाई कब्जा गर्‍यो र तिनीहरूका सहरहरू उजाड पार्‍यो । त्‍यो गर्जेको आवाजले त्यो देश र त्‍यसको पूर्णतालाई त्यागियो ।
And he prowled in his boldness and laid waste their cities, and made the land desolate, and the fullness of it, by the voice of his roaring.
8 तर छेउछाउका इलाकाबाट जातिहरू त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा आए । तिनीहरूले त्‍यसमाथि पासो थापे । तिनीहरूको पासोमा त्‍यो पर्‍यो ।
Then the nations set upon him from the countries round about, and they spread their nets upon him: he was taken 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 ।
And they put him in chains and in a cage, [and] he came to the king of Babylon; and he cast him into prison, that his voice should not be heard 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 as a vine and as a blossom on a pomegranate tree, planted by water: her fruit and her shoot abounded by reason of much water.
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 became a rod for a tribe of princes, and was elevated in her bulk in the midst of [other] trees, and she saw her bulk in the multitude of her 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 broken down in wrath, she was cast upon the ground, and the east wind dried up her choice [branches]: vengeance came upon them, and the rod of her strength was withered; fire consumed it.
13 यसैले अब त्‍यो उजाड-स्‍थानमा, सुक्‍खा र पानी नभएको ठाउँमा रोपियो ।
And now they have planted her in the wilderness, in a dry 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 ।”
And fire is gone out of a rod of her choice [boughs], and has devoured her; and there was no rod of strength in her. Her race is become a parable of lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.
