< विलाप 3 >
1 परमप्रभुको क्रोधको लाठोमुनि दुर्दशा देख्ने मानिस म नै हुँ ।
I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 उहाँले मलाई खेद्नुभयो, र उज्यालोमा भन्दा पनि अँध्यारोमा हिँड्न लगाउनुभयो ।
He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
3 निश्चय नै उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा पटक-पटक र दिनभरि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो ।
Surely he turns his hand against me, again and again all the day.
4 उहाँले मेरो मासु र छाला गलाइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरा हाडहरू भाँचिदिनुभयो ।
He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
5 उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा घेरा लगाउनुभयो, अनि तिक्तता र कठिनाइले मलाई घेर्नुभयो ।
He has built against me, and encompassed me with gall and travail.
6 उहाँले मलाई धेरै पहिले मर्नेहरूजस्तै अन्धकार ठाउँहरूमा बस्न लगाउनुभयो ।
He has made me to dwell in dark places, as those who have long been dead.
7 उहाँले मरो चारैतिर पर्खाल लगाउनुभयो । त्यसैले म भाग्न सक्दिनँ । उहाँले मेरा साङ्लाहरू गह्रौँ बनाइदिनुभयो,
He has walled me around, that I cannot go forth. He has made my chain heavy.
8 र मैले सहायताको लागि पुकारे र चिच्च्याए तापनि उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना थुनिदिनुभयो ।
Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
9 काटिएको ढुङ्गाको पर्खालले उहाँले मेरो बाटो थुनिदिनुभयो । उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू बाङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो ।
He has walled up my ways with hewn stone. He has made my paths crooked.
10 उहाँ आक्रमण गर्न ढुकेर बस्ने भालुजस्तो र लुकेर बस्ने सिंहजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ ।
He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in concealed places.
11 उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू उल्टो बनाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बेसाहारा तुल्याइदिनुभयो ।
He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
12 उहाँले आफ्नो धनुमा ताँदो चढाउनुभयो, र मलाई नै काँडको निसाना बनाउनुभयो ।
He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 उहाँले आफ्नो ठोक्रोका काँडहरूले मेरा मृगौला छेडिदिनुभयो ।
He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 म मेरा सबै मानिसका लागि हाँसोको पात्र बनेँ, र दिनभरि तिनीहरूको ठट्टाको निसाना बनेँ ।
I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
15 उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भरिदिनुभयो, र ऐरेलु पिउन लगाउनुभयो ।
He has filled me with bitterness. He has sated me with wormwood.
16 उहाँले रोडाले मेरा दाँत पिँध्नुभयो, र खरानीमा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिदिनुभयो ।
He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones. He has covered me with ashes.
17 मेरो प्राण शान्तिबाट वञ्चित भएको छ । प्रसन्नता के हो भनी मैले बिर्सेको छु ।
And thou have removed my soul far off from peace. I forgot prosperity.
18 त्यसैले म भन्छु, “मेरो धैर्य नष्ट भएको छ, र मेरो भरोसा परमप्रभुमा नै छ ।”
And I said, My strength is perished, and my expectation from Jehovah.
19 मेरो कष्ट र मेरो फिरन्तेपन, ऐरेलु र तिक्ततालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 म निरन्तर यसलाई सम्झन्छु, र म मभित्रै हताश भएको छु ।
My soul still has them in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.
21 तर म यो स्मरण गर्दछु । त्यसैले म आशा गर्दछुः
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope:
22 परमप्रभुको अचुक प्रेम कहिल्यै समाप्त हुँदैन, र उहाँको दया कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
It is of Jehovah's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions do not fail.
23 ती हरेक बिहान नयाँ हुन्छन् । तपाईंको विश्वसनीयता महान् छ ।
They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness.
24 मैले भनेँ, “परमप्रभु मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुनुहुन्छ ।” त्यसैले म उहाँमा नै आशा गर्दछु ।
Jehovah is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him.
25 परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गर्नेहरू, उहाँको खोजी गर्नेहरूका निम्ति उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ ।
Jehovah is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
26 मौन रूपमा परमप्रभुको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्नु राम्रो हुन्छ ।
It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.
27 आफ्नो युवावस्थामा जुवा बोक्नु मानिसको लागि राम्रो हुन्छ ।
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 त्यसमाथि यो राखिँदा त्यो एक्लै चुप लागेर बसोस् ।
Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it upon him.
29 त्यसले आफ्नो मुख धूलोमा लगाओस् । अझै पनि आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ ।
Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
30 त्यसलाई हिर्काउनेलाई त्यसले आफ्नो गाला पनि देओस्, र त्यो निन्दाले भरियोस् ।
Let him give his cheek to him who smites him. Let him be filled full with reproach.
31 किनकि परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सदासर्वदा त्याग्नुहुने छैन,
For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32 तर उहाँले शोक ल्याउनुभए तापनि उहाँको अचुक प्रेमको प्रचुरतामुताबिक उहाँले दया देखाउनुहुने छ ।
For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
33 किनकि उहाँले हृदयबाट नै मानव-जातिका सन्तानलाई यातना दिनुहुन्न वा कष्ट दिनुहुन्न ।
For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the sons of men.
34 पृथ्वीका सबै कैदीलाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची पार्ने,
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35 सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा मानिसको न्यायलाई इन्कार गर्ने,
to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36 कुनै मानिसलाई न्यायबाट वञ्चित गर्नेजस्ता कुराहरू परमप्रभुले अनुमोदन गर्नुहुन्न ।
to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
37 परमप्रभुले उर्दी नगर्नुभएसम्म कसले बोलेको कुरा पुरा भएको छ?
Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord does not command it?
38 के सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको मुखबाट नै विपत्ति र राम्रा कुराहरू दुवै आउँदैनन् र?
Out of the mouth of the Most High does there not come evil and good?
39 कुनै जीवित मानिस कसरी गनगनाउन सक्छ? आफ्ना पापको लागि पाएको दण्डको विषयमा कुनचाहिँ व्यक्तिले गनगन गर्न सक्छ?
Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 हाम्रा मार्गको जाँच गरौँ, र तिनलाई जाँचेर परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्कौं ।
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
41 हाम्रा हृदय र हाम्रा हात स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने परमेश्वमा उठाऔँ, र भनौँ:
Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
42 “हामीले आज्ञा उल्लङ्घन गरेका छौँ, र विद्रोह गरेका छौँ, अनि तपाईंले बिर्सनुभएको छैन ।
We have transgressed and have rebelled. Thou have not pardoned.
43 तपाईंले आफैलाई रिसले ढाक्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो पिछा गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मार्नुभएको छ, जोगाउनुभएको छैन ।
Thou have covered with anger and pursued us. Thou have slain; thou have not pitied.
44 कुनै प्रार्थनाले नछेडोस् भनेर तपाईंले आफैलाई बादलले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
Thou have covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
45 तपाईंले जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा हामीलाई फोहोरको थुप्रो र कसिङ्गर बनाउनुभएको छ ।
Thou have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
46 हाम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई हामीलाई सराप दिन अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।
All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
47 आतङ्क र खतरा, उजाड र विनाश हामीमाथि आइपरेका छन् ।
Fear and the pit have come upon us, devastation and destruction.
48 मेरा जाति नष्ट गरिएकाले मेरा आँखाबाट आँसुको धारा बहन्छ ।
My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 मेरा आँखाबाट नरोकिकन, विश्राम नगरीकन आँसु बहन्छ,
My eye pours down, and does not cease, without any intermission,
50 जबसम्म परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्न ।
till Jehovah looks down, and beholds from heaven.
51 मेरो सहरका सबै छोरीको कारण मेरा आँखाले मलाई शोकित तुल्याए ।
My eye stirs my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
52 मेरा शत्रुहरूद्वारा मलाई चरालाई झैँ सिकार गरिएको छ । विनाकारण तिनीहरूले मेरो सिकार गरे ।
They have chased me grievously like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
53 तिनीहरूले मलाई खाडलमा फ्याँके, र मलाई ढुङ्गाले हाने,
They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.
54 अनि मेरो शिर ढाक्ने गरी तिनीहरूले पानीको बाढी ल्याए । मैले भनेँ, “मेरो अन्त्य आइसकेको छ ।”
Waters flowed over my head. I said, I am cut off.
55 हे परमप्रभु, खाडलको गहिराइबाट मैले तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारेँ ।
I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest dungeon.
56 “मैले मदतको लागि पुकार्दा तपाईंका कान बन्द नगर्नुहोस्” भनी मैले भन्दा तपाईंको मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो ।
Thou heard my voice. Hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 मैले पुकार गरेको त्यस दिनमा तपाईं नजिक आउनुभयो । तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, “नडरा ।”
Thou drew near in the day that I called upon thee. Thou said, Fear not.
58 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो पक्षमा लड्नुभयो । तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान बचाइदिनुभयो ।
O Lord, thou have pleaded the causes of my soul. Thou have redeemed my life.
59 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका खराबी तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ । मेरो मुद्दाको इन्साफ गरिदिनुहोस् ।
O Jehovah, thou have seen my wrong. Judge thou my cause.
60 तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका अपमान, मेरो विरुद्धमा रचेका सबै षड्यन्त्र तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
Thou have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
61 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेका निन्दा र मेरो बारेमा भएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
Thou have heard their reproach, O Jehovah, and all their devices against me,
62 मेरो विरुद्धमा मेरा शत्रुहरूका बोली र अभियोग दिनभरि आउँछन् ।
the lips of those who rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 तिनीहरू कसरी बस्छन्, र उठ्छन्, हेर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका गीतले मेरो ठट्टा गर्छन् ।
Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up. I am their song.
64 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई बदला लिनुहोस् ।
Thou will render to them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.
65 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदय लज्जित पर्न दिनुहुने छ । तपाईंको दण्डाज्ञा तिनीहरूमाथि परोस् ।
Thou will give them hardness of heart, thy curse to them.
66 हे परमप्रभु, रिसमा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई खेद्नुहुन्छ, र स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुहुन्छ ।
Thou will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
