विलाप 3
1 परमप्रभुको क्रोधको लाठोमुनि दुर्दशा देख्ने मानिस म नै हुँ ।
I am the man who hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 उहाँले मलाई खेद्नुभयो, र उज्यालोमा भन्दा पनि अँध्यारोमा हिँड्न लगाउनुभयो ।
Me hath he driven out, and led into darkness, but not into light.
3 निश्चय नै उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा पटक-पटक र दिनभरि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो ।
Surely against me doth he turn again and again his hand all the day.
4 उहाँले मेरो मासु र छाला गलाइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरा हाडहरू भाँचिदिनुभयो ।
He hath caused my flesh and my skin to wear out, he hath broken my bones.
5 उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा घेरा लगाउनुभयो, अनि तिक्तता र कठिनाइले मलाई घेर्नुभयो ।
He hath built around me, and encompassed me with poison and hardship.
6 उहाँले मलाई धेरै पहिले मर्नेहरूजस्तै अन्धकार ठाउँहरूमा बस्न लगाउनुभयो ।
In dark places hath he set me to dwell, like the dead of olden times.
7 उहाँले मरो चारैतिर पर्खाल लगाउनुभयो । त्यसैले म भाग्न सक्दिनँ । उहाँले मेरा साङ्लाहरू गह्रौँ बनाइदिनुभयो,
He hath placed a fence round about me, that I cannot get out; he hath made heavy my chain.
8 र मैले सहायताको लागि पुकारे र चिच्च्याए तापनि उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना थुनिदिनुभयो ।
Also when I cry aloud and make entreaty, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 काटिएको ढुङ्गाको पर्खालले उहाँले मेरो बाटो थुनिदिनुभयो । उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू बाङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो ।
He hath fenced up my ways with hewn stone, my paths hath he made crooked.
10 उहाँ आक्रमण गर्न ढुकेर बस्ने भालुजस्तो र लुकेर बस्ने सिंहजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ ।
A bear lying in wait is he to me, a lion in secret places.
11 उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू उल्टो बनाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बेसाहारा तुल्याइदिनुभयो ।
On my ways hath he placed thorns, and torn me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12 उहाँले आफ्नो धनुमा ताँदो चढाउनुभयो, र मलाई नै काँडको निसाना बनाउनुभयो ।
He hath bent his bow, and placed me as a mark for the arrow.
13 उहाँले आफ्नो ठोक्रोका काँडहरूले मेरा मृगौला छेडिदिनुभयो ।
He hath caused to enter into my reins the children of his quiver.
14 म मेरा सबै मानिसका लागि हाँसोको पात्र बनेँ, र दिनभरि तिनीहरूको ठट्टाको निसाना बनेँ ।
I am become a laughing-stock to all my people, their [jeering] song all the day.
15 उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भरिदिनुभयो, र ऐरेलु पिउन लगाउनुभयो ।
He hath sated me with bitter things, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16 उहाँले रोडाले मेरा दाँत पिँध्नुभयो, र खरानीमा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिदिनुभयो ।
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel-stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17 मेरो प्राण शान्तिबाट वञ्चित भएको छ । प्रसन्नता के हो भनी मैले बिर्सेको छु ।
And my soul hath given up all thoughts of peace: I forget happiness.
18 त्यसैले म भन्छु, “मेरो धैर्य नष्ट भएको छ, र मेरो भरोसा परमप्रभुमा नै छ ।”
And I said, Lost is my strength, my expectation also from the Lord.
19 मेरो कष्ट र मेरो फिरन्तेपन, ऐरेलु र तिक्ततालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
Remembering my affliction and [the cause of] my complaint, wormwood and poison.
20 म निरन्तर यसलाई सम्झन्छु, र म मभित्रै हताश भएको छु ।
Remembering [this] continually my soul is bowed down deeply within me.
21 तर म यो स्मरण गर्दछु । त्यसैले म आशा गर्दछुः
[Yet] this answer will I give to my heart: therefore will I wait [in confidence].
22 परमप्रभुको अचुक प्रेम कहिल्यै समाप्त हुँदैन, र उहाँको दया कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
It is through the Lord's kindness that we are not consumed, because his mercies have no end;
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 ।
The Lord is my portion, saith my soul, therefore will I wait for him.
25 परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गर्नेहरू, उहाँको खोजी गर्नेहरूका निम्ति उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ ।
The Lord is good unto those that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 मौन रूपमा परमप्रभुको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्नु राम्रो हुन्छ ।
It is good that one should wait and this in silence for the salvation of the Lord.
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 ।
That he sit in solitude and be silent; because He hath laid it upon him;
29 त्यसले आफ्नो मुख धूलोमा लगाओस् । अझै पनि आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ ।
That he put his mouth in the dust; perhaps there still is hope;
30 त्यसलाई हिर्काउनेलाई त्यसले आफ्नो गाला पनि देओस्, र त्यो निन्दाले भरियोस् ।
That he offer his cheek to him that smiteth him; that he be satisfied with reproach.
31 किनकि परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सदासर्वदा त्याग्नुहुने छैन,
For the Lord will not cast off for ever;
32 तर उहाँले शोक ल्याउनुभए तापनि उहाँको अचुक प्रेमको प्रचुरतामुताबिक उहाँले दया देखाउनुहुने छ ।
But though he have caused grief, yet will he have mercy according to the abundance of his kindnesses.
33 किनकि उहाँले हृदयबाट नै मानव-जातिका सन्तानलाई यातना दिनुहुन्न वा कष्ट दिनुहुन्न ।
For he doth not afflict of his own will, and aggrieve the children of men.
34 पृथ्वीका सबै कैदीलाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची पार्ने,
To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35 सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा मानिसको न्यायलाई इन्कार गर्ने,
To pervert the justice [due to man] before the face of the Most High.
36 कुनै मानिसलाई न्यायबाट वञ्चित गर्नेजस्ता कुराहरू परमप्रभुले अनुमोदन गर्नुहुन्न ।
To subvert a man in his contest—should the Lord not see this?
37 परमप्रभुले उर्दी नगर्नुभएसम्म कसले बोलेको कुरा पुरा भएको छ?
Who is he that saith aught, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord hath not ordained it?
38 के सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको मुखबाट नै विपत्ति र राम्रा कुराहरू दुवै आउँदैनन् र?
Do not out of the mouth of the Most High come both the evil things and the good?
39 कुनै जीवित मानिस कसरी गनगनाउन सक्छ? आफ्ना पापको लागि पाएको दण्डको विषयमा कुनचाहिँ व्यक्तिले गनगन गर्न सक्छ?
Wherefore should a living man complain? let every man complain because of his sins.
40 हाम्रा मार्गको जाँच गरौँ, र तिनलाई जाँचेर परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्कौं ।
Let us search through and investigate our ways, and let us return to the Lord.
41 हाम्रा हृदय र हाम्रा हात स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने परमेश्वमा उठाऔँ, र भनौँ:
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 “हामीले आज्ञा उल्लङ्घन गरेका छौँ, र विद्रोह गरेका छौँ, अनि तपाईंले बिर्सनुभएको छैन ।
We have indeed transgressed and rebelled: thou hast truly not pardoned.
43 तपाईंले आफैलाई रिसले ढाक्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो पिछा गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मार्नुभएको छ, जोगाउनुभएको छैन ।
Thou hast covered [us] with thy anger, and made pursuit after us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44 कुनै प्रार्थनाले नछेडोस् भनेर तपाईंले आफैलाई बादलले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that no prayer should pass through.
45 तपाईंले जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा हामीलाई फोहोरको थुप्रो र कसिङ्गर बनाउनुभएको छ ।
As something loathsome and rejected hast thou rendered us in the midst of the people.
46 हाम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई हामीलाई सराप दिन अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।
Wide have all our enemies opened against us their mouth.
47 आतङ्क र खतरा, उजाड र विनाश हामीमाथि आइपरेका छन् ।
Terror and a snare are come upon us, [with] desolation and breaches.
48 मेरा जाति नष्ट गरिएकाले मेरा आँखाबाट आँसुको धारा बहन्छ ।
With streams of water runneth my eye down, because of the breach of the daughter of my people.
49 मेरा आँखाबाट नरोकिकन, विश्राम नगरीकन आँसु बहन्छ,
My eye trickleth down, and resteth not, without any intermission,
50 जबसम्म परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्न ।
Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
51 मेरो सहरका सबै छोरीको कारण मेरा आँखाले मलाई शोकित तुल्याए ।
My eye affecteth my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
52 मेरा शत्रुहरूद्वारा मलाई चरालाई झैँ सिकार गरिएको छ । विनाकारण तिनीहरूले मेरो सिकार गरे ।
Those who are my enemies, without a cause, have chased me about like a bird.
53 तिनीहरूले मलाई खाडलमा फ्याँके, र मलाई ढुङ्गाले हाने,
They have shut up in the dungeon my life, and have cast stones upon me.
54 अनि मेरो शिर ढाक्ने गरी तिनीहरूले पानीको बाढी ल्याए । मैले भनेँ, “मेरो अन्त्य आइसकेको छ ।”
Waters streamed over my head: I said, I am cut off.
55 हे परमप्रभु, खाडलको गहिराइबाट मैले तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारेँ ।
I called on thy name, O Lord, out of the dungeon of the lowest depth.
56 “मैले मदतको लागि पुकार्दा तपाईंका कान बन्द नगर्नुहोस्” भनी मैले भन्दा तपाईंको मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो ।
Thou didst hear my voice: hide not thy ear to give me enlargement at my cry.
57 मैले पुकार गरेको त्यस दिनमा तपाईं नजिक आउनुभयो । तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, “नडरा ।”
Thou wast ever near on the day that I called on thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो पक्षमा लड्नुभयो । तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान बचाइदिनुभयो ।
Thou didst plead, O Lord, the causes of my soul: thou didst [before this] redeem my life.
59 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका खराबी तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ । मेरो मुद्दाको इन्साफ गरिदिनुहोस् ।
Thou hast [now] seen, O Lord, the wrong I suffer: judge thou my cause.
60 तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका अपमान, मेरो विरुद्धमा रचेका सबै षड्यन्त्र तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their plans against me.
61 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेका निन्दा र मेरो बारेमा भएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
Thou hast heard their reviling, O Lord, all their plans against me,
62 मेरो विरुद्धमा मेरा शत्रुहरूका बोली र अभियोग दिनभरि आउँछन् ।
The speeches of these that rise up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 तिनीहरू कसरी बस्छन्, र उठ्छन्, हेर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका गीतले मेरो ठट्टा गर्छन् ।
Oh look upon their sitting down, and their rising up: I am their [jeering] song.
64 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई बदला लिनुहोस् ।
Render unto them a recompense, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
65 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदय लज्जित पर्न दिनुहुने छ । तपाईंको दण्डाज्ञा तिनीहरूमाथि परोस् ।
Give them confusion of heart, thy curse he upon them.
66 हे परमप्रभु, रिसमा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई खेद्नुहुन्छ, र स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुहुन्छ ।
Pursue them in anger and destroy from under the heavens of the Lord.
