इजकिएल 19
1 “अब तैंले इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूका विरुद्धमा विलाप गर्,
“Moreover, take up a lamentation 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. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished 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. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
4 तब जातिहरूले त्यसको बारेमा सुने । त्यो तिनीहरूको जालमा पर्यो, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई अङ्कुसेले समातेर मिश्रदेशमा लगे ।
The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks 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 ।
“‘Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then 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 went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the 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 knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. The land was desolate with its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.
8 तर छेउछाउका इलाकाबाट जातिहरू त्यसको विरुद्धमा आए । तिनीहरूले त्यसमाथि पासो थापे । तिनीहरूको पासोमा त्यो पर्यो ।
Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces. They spread their net over 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 ।
They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, so that his voice should no more 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 like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters. It was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many 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 for the scepters of those who ruled. Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs. They were seen in their height with the multitude of their 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 it was plucked up in fury. It was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were broken off and 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 of its branches. It has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter to rule.’ This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.”
