विलाप 2

1 परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीलाई आफ्नो रिसको बादलमुनि ढाक्‍नुभएको छ । उहाँले इस्राएलको गौरवलाई स्वर्गबाट तल पृथ्वीमा फ्याँकिदिनुभएको छ । आफ्नो रिसको दिनमा उहाँले आफ्नो पाउदानको सम्झना गर्नुभएको छैन ।

How hath the Lord covered with a cloud the daughter of Zion in His anger! He hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and hath not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger.

2 परमरप्रभुले याकूबका सबै नगरलाई स्वाहा पार्नुभएको छ, र तिनलाई दया देखाउनुभएको छैन । उहाँको रिसको दिनमा उहाँले यहूदाकी छोरीका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू भत्काइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले राज्य र यसका शासकहरूलाई अपमानमा भुइँ ढाल्नुभएको छ ।

The Lord hath swallowed up unsparingly all the habitations of Jacob; He hath thrown down in His wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He hath brought them down to the ground; He hath profaned the kingdom and the princes thereof.

3 भयङ्कर रिसले उहाँले इस्राएलको हरेक सिङ काटिदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले शत्रुकै सामुन्‍ने आफ्नो दाहिने हात हटाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले याकूबलाई चारैतिर भस्म गर्ने दन्कँदो आगोले जलाउनुभएको छ ।

He hath cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He hath drawn back His right hand from before the enemy; and He hath burned in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

4 शत्रुले झैँ उहाँले धनु हामीतिर उठाउनुभएको छ । उहाँको दाहिने हात हान्‍नलाई तयार छ । सियोनकी छोरीको पालमा उहाँले आफूलाई प्रिय लाग्‍ने सबैलाई मार्नुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोध आगोझैँ खन्याउनुभएको छ ।

He hath bent His bow like an enemy, standing with His right hand as an adversary, and hath slain all that were pleasant to the eye; in the tent of the daughter of Zion He hath poured out His fury like fire.

5 परमप्रभु शत्रुझैँ हुनुभएको छ । उहाँले इस्राएललाई निल्नुभएको छ । उहाँले त्यसका सबै महललाई निल्नुभएको छ । उहाँले त्यसका किल्लाहरूलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुभएको छ । उहाँले यहूदाकी छोरीमा शोक र विलाप बढाउनुभएको छ ।

The Lord is become as an enemy, He hath swallowed up Israel; He hath swallowed up all her palaces, He hath destroyed his strongholds; and He hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and moaning.

6 उहाँले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानलाई बगैँचाको छाप्रोलाई झैँ आक्रमण गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले पवित्र सभाको स्थानलाई नष्‍ट गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुले सियोनमा पवित्र सभा र शबाथ दुवैलाई बिर्सन लगाउनुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँले आफ्नो भयानक रिसमा राजा र पुजारी दुवैलाई तिरस्कार गर्नुभएको छ ।

And He hath stripped His tabernacle, as if it were a garden, He hath destroyed His place of assembly; the LORD hath caused to be forgotten in Zion appointed season and sabbath, and hath rejected in the indignation of His anger the king and the priest.

7 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो वेदीलाई तिरस्कार गर्नुभएको छ, र पवित्र वासस्थानलाई त्यागिदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले त्यसका महलहरूका पर्खालहरू शत्रुको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभएको छ । तोकिएको चाडको दिनमा जस्तै तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा विजयको ध्वनि लगाएका छन् ।

The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath abhorred His sanctuary, He hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn assembly.

8 परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीको सहरको पर्खाललाई नष्‍ट गर्ने निधो गर्नुभयो । उहाँले नाप्‍ने फित्ता तन्काउनुभयो, र पर्खाललाई नष्‍ट गर्नबाट आफ्नो हात रोक्‍नुभएको छैन । उहाँले गढी र पर्खाललाई विलाप गर्न लगाउनुभयो । ती सँगसँगै भत्के ।

The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He hath stretched out the line, He hath not withdrawn His hand from destroying; but He hath made the rampart and wall to mourn, they languish together.

9 त्यसका मूल ढोकाहरू भुइँमा ढलेका छन् । उहाँले त्यसका मूल ढोकाका गजबारहरू नष्‍ट गर्नुभएको छ, र भाँच्नुभएको छ । त्यसका राजा र राजकुमारहरू जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा छन्, र व्यवस्था रहँदैन, अनि त्यसका अगमवक्ताहरूले परमप्रभुबाट कुनै दर्शन पाउँदैनन् ।

Her gates are sunk into the ground; He hath destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes are among the nations, instruction is no more; yea, her prophets find no vision from the LORD.

10 सियोनकी छोरीका धर्म-गुरुहरू चुप लागेर भुइँमा बस्छन् । तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शिरमा धूलो हालेका छन्, र भाङ्ग्रा लगाएका छन् । यरूशलेमका कन्याहरूले भुइँमा आ-आफ्ना शिर झुकाएका छन् ।

They sit upon the ground, and keep silence, the elders of the daughter of Zion; they have cast up dust upon their heads, they have girded themselves with sackcloth; the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

11 तिनीहरूको आँसुले मेरा आँखा टट्टाइसक्यो । मेरो पेट हुँडल्छ । मेरा मानिसहरूकी छोरीको विनाशको कारण मेरा मेरो हृदय छियाछिया भयो । बालबच्‍चा र दुधे बालकहरू सहरका सडकहरूमा मुर्छा खान्छन् ।

Mine eyes do fail with tears, mine inwards burn, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the breach of the daughter of my people; because the young children and the sucklings swoon in the broad places of the city.

12 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आमाहरूलाई भन्छन्, “अन्‍न र दाखमद्य कहाँ छन्?” तिनीहरू सहरका सडकहरूमा घाइतेझैँ मुर्छा पर्दा तिनीहरूका प्राण तिनीहरूका आमाहरूको काखमा शिथिल हुन्छन् ।

They say to their mothers: 'Where is corn and wine?' when they swoon as the wounded in the broad places of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers' bosom.

13 हे यरूशलेमकी छोरी, म तँलाई के भनूँ? हे सियोनकी छोरी, तँलाई सान्त्वना दिन तँलाई म केसित तुलना गरूँ? तेरो घाउ समुद्रजस्तै विशाल भएको छ । कसले तँलाई निको पार्न सक्छ?

What shall I take to witness for thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea; who can heal thee?

14 तेरा अगमवक्ताहरूले तेरो लागि झुटा र बेकम्मा दर्शनहरू देखेका छन् । तेरो सुदिन पुनर्स्थापित गर्न तिनीहरूले तेरो अधर्मको पर्दाफास गरेका छैनन्, तर तिनीहरूले तँलाई झुटा र गलत वचनहरू दिएका छन् ।

Thy prophets have seen visions for thee of vanity and delusion; and they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity; but have prophesied for thee burdens of vanity and seduction.

15 यस सडक भएर जानेहरू सबैले तँलाई देखेर थपडी मार्छन् । यरूशलेमकी छोरीको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूले गिल्ला गर्छन्, र आफ्ना शिर हल्लाउँछन्, अनि भन्छन्, “के यो त्यही सहर हो जसलाई तिनीहरूले 'परम सुन्दरी' र 'सारा पृथ्वीको आनन्द' भन्थे?”

All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem: 'Is this the city that men called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?'

16 तेरा सबै शत्रुले तेरो विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूका मुख खोल्छन् । तिनीहरूले खिसी गरेर रिसमा आफ्ना दाह्रा किट्छन्, र भन्छन्, “हामीले त्यसलाई निलेका छौँ । हामी यही दिनको प्रतीक्षामा थियौँ । यही हेर्न हामी बाँचेका छौँ ।”

All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide against thee; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say: 'We have swallowed her up; certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.'

17 परमप्रभुले जे गर्ने योजना बनाउनुभयो, त्यही गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो वचन पुरा गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले दया नदेखाइकन तँलाई फ्याँकिदिनुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँले तँलाई देखेर तेरो शत्रुलाई रमाउने अनुमति दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले तेरा शत्रुहरूको सिङ उठाउनुभएको छ ।

The LORD hath done that which He devised; He hath performed His word that He commanded in the days of old; He hath thrown down unsparingly; and He hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, He hath exalted the horn of thine adversaries.

18 हे सियोनकी छोरीका पर्खालहरू हो, तिनीहरूका हृदयले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे । दिनरात नदीझैँ तेरा आँसु बगा । कत्ति पनि विश्राम नले; तेरा आँखालाई विश्राम नदे ।

Their heart cried unto the Lord: 'O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; give thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eye cease.

19 रातको हरेक पहरको सुरुमा उठेर चिच्‍च्या । परमप्रभुको मुहारको सामुन्‍ने तेरो हृदय पानीझैँ खन्या । हरेक सडकको कुनामा भोकले मुर्छा पर्ने तेरा बालबच्‍चाका प्राणको लागि तेरा हात उहाँतिर उठा ।

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord; lift up thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.'

20 हे परमप्रभु, हेर्नुहोस्, र यसरी व्यवहार गर्नेहरूलाई विचार गर्नुहोस् । के स्‍त्रीहरूले आफ्नै गर्भको फल अर्थात् आफैले जन्माएका बालबच्‍चालाई खाने? के पुजारी र अगमवक्ता परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानमा मारिने?

'See, O LORD, and consider, to whom Thou hast done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

21 युवाहरू र पाकाहरू सडकहरूका धूलोमा पस्रिन्छन् । मेरा युवतीहरू र युवाहरू तरवारले ढालिएका छन् । तिनीहरूलाई दया नदेखाइकन तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नुभएको छ ।

The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; Thou hast slain them in the day of Thine anger; Thou hast slaughtered unsparingly.

22 चाडको दिनमा मानिसहरू भेला गरेँझैँ तपाईंले मेरो हरेक किनारामा मेरा त्रासहरूलाई बोलाउनुभएको छ । परमप्रभुको रिसको दिनमा कोही पनि उम्केन वा बाँचेन । मैले वास्ता गरेका र हुर्काएकाहरूलाई मेरो शत्रुले नष्‍ट पारेको छ ।

Thou hast called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side, and there was none in the day of the LORD'S anger that escaped or remained; those that I have dandled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.'
