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 ।

Oh how hath the Lord covered in his anger the daughter of Zion with a cloud; he hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the ornament of Israel; and he hath not remembered his footstool on 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 destroyed and hath not pitied all the habitation of Jacob: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong-holds of the daughter of Judah: he hath thrown them down to the ground; he hath defiled the kingdom and its princes.

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 hewn away in his fierce anger the whole horn of Israel; he hath drawn back his right hand before the enemy; and he burnt against 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 bent his bow like an enemy; he held out his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye: in the tent of the daughter of Zion did he pour out like fire his fury.

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 became like an enemy; he destroyed Israel, he destroyed all her palaces, he ruined her strong-holds, and he increased in the midst of the daughter of Judah groaning and wailing.

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 violently wasted, as if it were a garden, his tabernacle; he destroyed his place of assembly: [yea, ] the Lord hath caused to be forgotten in Zion the solemn feast and the day of rest, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger both king and 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 made void his sanctuary, he hath surrendered into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: they have made their voice to resound in the house of the Lord, as on a day of a solemn feast.

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 resolved to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; he stretched out the measuring-line, he withdrew not his hand from destroying: and he caused the rampart and the wall to mourn; together they languish.

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 ।

Sunk into the ground are her gates, he hath ruined and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the nations without any law; her prophets also obtain no more any 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 ।

The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they keep silence: they have thrown dust upon their head; they have girt themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem have brought down low their head 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 ।

My eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are heated, my liver is poured upon the earth because of the breach of the daughter of my people; because babes and sucklings faint away in the streets of the town.

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

To their mothers they say, Where is corn and wine? when they faint away like the deadly wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out on the bosom of their mother.

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 compare unto thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I find equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for great like the sea is thy breach; who can bring healing to 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 foresaw for thee vain and deceptive things; and they did not lay open thy iniquity, to cause thy backsliders to return: but they foresaw for thee prophecies of falsehood 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 [this] way clap their hands on account of thee; they hiss and shake their head over the daughter of Jerusalem: [saying, ] Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty. The joy for all the 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 thy enemies open wide their mouth against thee; they hiss and gnash their teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up: ah, truly this is the day that we hoped 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 what he had resolved; he hath accomplished his word which he had ordained already in the days of old; he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied; and he hath caused to rejoice over thee thy enemy, he hath raised on high the horn of thy 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 crieth unto the Lord, O thou wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a stream day and night; allow thyself no rest; let not the apple of thy eye be still.

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, complain aloud in the night, in the beginning of the watches; pour out like water thy heart before the face of the Lord: lift up toward him thy hands because of the life of thy babes, that faint away for hunger at the corner of all the streets.

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 behold! to whom hast thou ever done the like? Shall women, then, eat their own fruit, the babes they have tenderly nursed? or shall there be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord the priest and the prophet?

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

There lie down on the ground in the streets the lad and the ancient: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain on the day of thy anger; thou hast slaughtered, thou hast not pitied.

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 it were on a festive day, my evil neighbors from round about; and there was not on the day of the Lord's anger one that escaped or remained: those that I had tenderly nursed and reared up my enemy brought to their end.
