विलाप 3
1 परमप्रभुको क्रोधको लाठोमुनि दुर्दशा देख्ने मानिस म नै हुँ ।
I am the man who has experienced suffering under the rod of God's anger.
2 उहाँले मलाई खेद्नुभयो, र उज्यालोमा भन्दा पनि अँध्यारोमा हिँड्न लगाउनुभयो ।
He has driven me away, forcing me to walk in darkness instead of the light.
3 निश्चय नै उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा पटक-पटक र दिनभरि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो ।
In fact he hits me again and again all day long.
4 उहाँले मेरो मासु र छाला गलाइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरा हाडहरू भाँचिदिनुभयो ।
He has worn me out; he has broken me in pieces.
5 उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा घेरा लगाउनुभयो, अनि तिक्तता र कठिनाइले मलाई घेर्नुभयो ।
He has besieged me, surrounding me with bitterness and misery.
6 उहाँले मलाई धेरै पहिले मर्नेहरूजस्तै अन्धकार ठाउँहरूमा बस्न लगाउनुभयो ।
He has forced me to live in darkness like those long dead.
7 उहाँले मरो चारैतिर पर्खाल लगाउनुभयो । त्यसैले म भाग्न सक्दिनँ । उहाँले मेरा साङ्लाहरू गह्रौँ बनाइदिनुभयो,
He has built a wall around me so I can't escape; he has bound me with heavy chains.
8 र मैले सहायताको लागि पुकारे र चिच्च्याए तापनि उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना थुनिदिनुभयो ।
Even when I keep on crying out for help, he refuses to listen to my prayer.
9 काटिएको ढुङ्गाको पर्खालले उहाँले मेरो बाटो थुनिदिनुभयो । उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू बाङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो ।
He has put stone blocks in my way and sends me down crooked paths.
10 उहाँ आक्रमण गर्न ढुकेर बस्ने भालुजस्तो र लुकेर बस्ने सिंहजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ ।
He is a bear that lies in wait for me, a lion in hiding ready to attack,
11 उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू उल्टो बनाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बेसाहारा तुल्याइदिनुभयो ।
He dragged me from my path and ripped me to pieces, leaving me helpless.
12 उहाँले आफ्नो धनुमा ताँदो चढाउनुभयो, र मलाई नै काँडको निसाना बनाउनुभयो ।
He loaded his bow with an arrow and used me as his target,
13 उहाँले आफ्नो ठोक्रोका काँडहरूले मेरा मृगौला छेडिदिनुभयो ।
He shot me in my kidneys with his arrows.
14 म मेरा सबै मानिसका लागि हाँसोको पात्र बनेँ, र दिनभरि तिनीहरूको ठट्टाको निसाना बनेँ ।
Now everyone laughs at me, singing songs that mock me all day long.
15 उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भरिदिनुभयो, र ऐरेलु पिउन लगाउनुभयो ।
He has filled me with bitterness; he has filled me up with bitter wormwood.
16 उहाँले रोडाले मेरा दाँत पिँध्नुभयो, र खरानीमा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिदिनुभयो ।
He has broken my teeth with grit; he has trampled me in the dust.
17 मेरो प्राण शान्तिबाट वञ्चित भएको छ । प्रसन्नता के हो भनी मैले बिर्सेको छु ।
Peace has been torn away from me; I've forgotten all that's good in life.
18 त्यसैले म भन्छु, “मेरो धैर्य नष्ट भएको छ, र मेरो भरोसा परमप्रभुमा नै छ ।”
That's why I say, “My expectation of a long life is gone, along with all that I hoped for from Lord.
19 मेरो कष्ट र मेरो फिरन्तेपन, ऐरेलु र तिक्ततालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
Don't forget everything I've suffered in my wandering, as bitters as wormwood and poison.
20 म निरन्तर यसलाई सम्झन्छु, र म मभित्रै हताश भएको छु ।
I certainly haven't forgotten. I remember it all too well, so I sink into depression.
21 तर म यो स्मरण गर्दछु । त्यसैले म आशा गर्दछुः
But I still hope when I think about this:
22 परमप्रभुको अचुक प्रेम कहिल्यै समाप्त हुँदैन, र उहाँको दया कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
It's because of the Lord's trustworthy love that our lives are not finished, for through his merciful actions he never lets us down.
23 ती हरेक बिहान नयाँ हुन्छन् । तपाईंको विश्वसनीयता महान् छ ।
He renews them every morning. How wonderfully trustworthy you are, Lord!
24 मैले भनेँ, “परमप्रभु मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुनुहुन्छ ।” त्यसैले म उहाँमा नै आशा गर्दछु ।
The Lord is all I need,” I tell myself, “so I will put my hope in him.”
25 परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गर्नेहरू, उहाँको खोजी गर्नेहरूका निम्ति उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ ।
The Lord is good to those who trust in him, to anyone who seeks to follow him.
26 मौन रूपमा परमप्रभुको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्नु राम्रो हुन्छ ।
It is good to wait quietly for the Lord's salvation.
27 आफ्नो युवावस्थामा जुवा बोक्नु मानिसको लागि राम्रो हुन्छ ।
It is good for people to learn to patiently bear discipline while they're still young.
28 त्यसमाथि यो राखिँदा त्यो एक्लै चुप लागेर बसोस् ।
They should sit by themselves in silence, because it's God who has disciplined them.
29 त्यसले आफ्नो मुख धूलोमा लगाओस् । अझै पनि आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ ।
They should bow low with their faces to the ground, for there may still be hope.
30 त्यसलाई हिर्काउनेलाई त्यसले आफ्नो गाला पनि देओस्, र त्यो निन्दाले भरियोस् ।
They should turn a cheek to someone who wants to slap them; they should take the insults of others.
31 किनकि परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सदासर्वदा त्याग्नुहुने छैन,
For the Lord won't abandon us forever.
32 तर उहाँले शोक ल्याउनुभए तापनि उहाँको अचुक प्रेमको प्रचुरतामुताबिक उहाँले दया देखाउनुहुने छ ।
Even though he may bring sadness, he shows us mercy because his trustworthy love is so great.
33 किनकि उहाँले हृदयबाट नै मानव-जातिका सन्तानलाई यातना दिनुहुन्न वा कष्ट दिनुहुन्न ।
For he doesn't willingly hurt people, or cause them grief.
34 पृथ्वीका सबै कैदीलाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची पार्ने,
Whether it's mistreating all the prisoners of the land,
35 सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा मानिसको न्यायलाई इन्कार गर्ने,
Or denying someone their rights as the Most High watches,
36 कुनै मानिसलाई न्यायबाट वञ्चित गर्नेजस्ता कुराहरू परमप्रभुले अनुमोदन गर्नुहुन्न ।
Or cheating someone in their legal case—these things the Lord doesn't approve of.
37 परमप्रभुले उर्दी नगर्नुभएसम्म कसले बोलेको कुरा पुरा भएको छ?
Who spoke and it came into existence? Wasn't it the Lord who commanded it?
38 के सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको मुखबाट नै विपत्ति र राम्रा कुराहरू दुवै आउँदैनन् र?
When the Most High speaks it can be a disaster or a blessing.
39 कुनै जीवित मानिस कसरी गनगनाउन सक्छ? आफ्ना पापको लागि पाएको दण्डको विषयमा कुनचाहिँ व्यक्तिले गनगन गर्न सक्छ?
Why should any human being complain about the results of their sins?
40 हाम्रा मार्गको जाँच गरौँ, र तिनलाई जाँचेर परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्कौं ।
We should look at ourselves, examine what we're doing, and return to the Lord.
41 हाम्रा हृदय र हाम्रा हात स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने परमेश्वमा उठाऔँ, र भनौँ:
Let's not just hold up our hands to God in heaven, but our minds as well, saying,
42 “हामीले आज्ञा उल्लङ्घन गरेका छौँ, र विद्रोह गरेका छौँ, अनि तपाईंले बिर्सनुभएको छैन ।
“We are the ones who sinned; we are the ones who rebelled; and you haven't forgiven us!”
43 तपाईंले आफैलाई रिसले ढाक्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो पिछा गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मार्नुभएको छ, जोगाउनुभएको छैन ।
You have wrapped yourself in anger and chased us down, killing without mercy. You have killed without pity.
44 कुनै प्रार्थनाले नछेडोस् भनेर तपाईंले आफैलाई बादलले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
You have wrapped yourself with a cloud that no prayer can penetrate.
45 तपाईंले जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा हामीलाई फोहोरको थुप्रो र कसिङ्गर बनाउनुभएको छ ।
You have made us waste and refuse to the nations around.
46 हाम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई हामीलाई सराप दिन अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।
All our enemies open their mouths to criticize us.
47 आतङ्क र खतरा, उजाड र विनाश हामीमाथि आइपरेका छन् ।
We're terrified and trapped, devastated and destroyed.
48 मेरा जाति नष्ट गरिएकाले मेरा आँखाबाट आँसुको धारा बहन्छ ।
Tears stream from my eyes over the death of my people.
49 मेरा आँखाबाट नरोकिकन, विश्राम नगरीकन आँसु बहन्छ,
My eyes overflow with tears all the time. They won't stop
50 जबसम्म परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्न ।
Until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees what's going on.
51 मेरो सहरका सबै छोरीको कारण मेरा आँखाले मलाई शोकित तुल्याए ।
What I've seen torments me because of what's happened to all the women in my city.
52 मेरा शत्रुहरूद्वारा मलाई चरालाई झैँ सिकार गरिएको छ । विनाकारण तिनीहरूले मेरो सिकार गरे ।
For no reason my enemies trapped me like a bird.
53 तिनीहरूले मलाई खाडलमा फ्याँके, र मलाई ढुङ्गाले हाने,
They tried to kill me by tossing me into a pit and throwing stones at me.
54 अनि मेरो शिर ढाक्ने गरी तिनीहरूले पानीको बाढी ल्याए । मैले भनेँ, “मेरो अन्त्य आइसकेको छ ।”
Water flooded over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
55 हे परमप्रभु, खाडलको गहिराइबाट मैले तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारेँ ।
I called out for you, Lord, from deep inside the pit.
56 “मैले मदतको लागि पुकार्दा तपाईंका कान बन्द नगर्नुहोस्” भनी मैले भन्दा तपाईंको मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो ।
You heard me when I prayed, “Please don't ignore my cry for help.”
57 मैले पुकार गरेको त्यस दिनमा तपाईं नजिक आउनुभयो । तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, “नडरा ।”
You came to me when I called you, and you told me, “Don't be afraid!”
58 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो पक्षमा लड्नुभयो । तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान बचाइदिनुभयो ।
You have taken my case and defended me; you have saved my life!
59 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका खराबी तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ । मेरो मुद्दाको इन्साफ गरिदिनुहोस् ।
Lord, you have seen the injustices done to me; please vindicate me!
60 तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका अपमान, मेरो विरुद्धमा रचेका सबै षड्यन्त्र तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
You have observed how vengeful they are and how often they've plotted against me.
61 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेका निन्दा र मेरो बारेमा भएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
Lord, you have heard how they've insulted me, and what they've plotted against me,
62 मेरो विरुद्धमा मेरा शत्रुहरूका बोली र अभियोग दिनभरि आउँछन् ।
How my enemies talk against me and complain about me all the time!
63 तिनीहरू कसरी बस्छन्, र उठ्छन्, हेर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका गीतले मेरो ठट्टा गर्छन् ।
Just look! Whether they're sitting down and or standing up, they go on making fun of me in their songs.
64 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई बदला लिनुहोस् ।
Pay them back as they deserve, Lord, for all they've done!
65 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदय लज्जित पर्न दिनुहुने छ । तपाईंको दण्डाज्ञा तिनीहरूमाथि परोस् ।
Give them a covering for their minds! May your curse be on them!
66 हे परमप्रभु, रिसमा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई खेद्नुहुन्छ, र स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुहुन्छ ।
Chase them down in your anger, Lord, and get rid of them from the earth!
