< विलाप 3 >
1 परमप्रभुको क्रोधको लाठोमुनि दुर्दशा देख्ने मानिस म नै हुँ ।
I am the man that 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 against me he turns his hand again and again all the day.
4 उहाँले मेरो मासु र छाला गलाइदिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरा हाडहरू भाँचिदिनुभयो ।
My flesh and my skin he has made old; he has broken my bones.
5 उहाँले मेरो विरुद्धमा घेरा लगाउनुभयो, अनि तिक्तता र कठिनाइले मलाई घेर्नुभयो ।
He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6 उहाँले मलाई धेरै पहिले मर्नेहरूजस्तै अन्धकार ठाउँहरूमा बस्न लगाउनुभयो ।
He has made me to dwell in dark places, like those that have been long dead.
7 उहाँले मरो चारैतिर पर्खाल लगाउनुभयो । त्यसैले म भाग्न सक्दिनँ । उहाँले मेरा साङ्लाहरू गह्रौँ बनाइदिनुभयो,
He has walled me in, so I can't escape; he has made my chains heavy.
8 र मैले सहायताको लागि पुकारे र चिच्च्याए तापनि उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना थुनिदिनुभयो ।
Yes, 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 cut 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 hiding.
11 उहाँले मेरा बाटाहरू उल्टो बनाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बेसाहारा तुल्याइदिनुभयो ।
He has obstructed my path, and torn 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 arrows of his quiver to pierce my inward parts.
14 म मेरा सबै मानिसका लागि हाँसोको पात्र बनेँ, र दिनभरि तिनीहरूको ठट्टाको निसाना बनेँ ।
I have become a laughingstock to all peoples, and their song all the day.
15 उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भरिदिनुभयो, र ऐरेलु पिउन लगाउनुभयो ।
He has filled me with bitterness, he has given me in full measure wormwood.
16 उहाँले रोडाले मेरा दाँत पिँध्नुभयो, र खरानीमा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिदिनुभयो ।
He has also broken my teeth with gravel; he has pressed me down in the dust.
17 मेरो प्राण शान्तिबाट वञ्चित भएको छ । प्रसन्नता के हो भनी मैले बिर्सेको छु ।
You have removed my soul far away from peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 त्यसैले म भन्छु, “मेरो धैर्य नष्ट भएको छ, र मेरो भरोसा परमप्रभुमा नै छ ।”
And I said, "My strength and my hope has perished 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 considers them, and is depressed.
21 तर म यो स्मरण गर्दछु । त्यसैले म आशा गर्दछुः
But this I call to my mind; therefore I have hope:
22 परमप्रभुको अचुक प्रेम कहिल्यै समाप्त हुँदैन, र उहाँको दया कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
Jehovah's faithful love does not cease; his compassion does not fail.
23 ती हरेक बिहान नयाँ हुन्छन् । तपाईंको विश्वसनीयता महान् छ ।
They are new every morning; great is your 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 that 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 while he is young.
28 त्यसमाथि यो राखिँदा त्यो एक्लै चुप लागेर बसोस् ।
Let him sit alone and keep silence when he is disciplining him.
29 त्यसले आफ्नो मुख धूलोमा लगाओस् । अझै पनि आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ ।
Let him put his mouth to the dust, there may yet be hope.
30 त्यसलाई हिर्काउनेलाई त्यसले आफ्नो गाला पनि देओस्, र त्यो निन्दाले भरियोस् ।
Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled with insults.
31 किनकि परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सदासर्वदा त्याग्नुहुने छैन,
For Jehovah will not reject forever.
32 तर उहाँले शोक ल्याउनुभए तापनि उहाँको अचुक प्रेमको प्रचुरतामुताबिक उहाँले दया देखाउनुहुने छ ।
For though he may cause grief, yet he will have compassion according to the abundance of his loving kindness.
33 किनकि उहाँले हृदयबाट नै मानव-जातिका सन्तानलाई यातना दिनुहुन्न वा कष्ट दिनुहुन्न ।
For he is not predisposed to bring affliction or suffering to human beings.
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 deprive a man of justice before the face of the Most High,
36 कुनै मानिसलाई न्यायबाट वञ्चित गर्नेजस्ता कुराहरू परमप्रभुले अनुमोदन गर्नुहुन्न ।
to subvert a man in his cause, Jehovah does not approve.
37 परमप्रभुले उर्दी नगर्नुभएसम्म कसले बोलेको कुरा पुरा भएको छ?
Who can speak a thing and have it come to pass, unless Jehovah has commanded it?
38 के सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको मुखबाट नै विपत्ति र राम्रा कुराहरू दुवै आउँदैनन् र?
Doesn't both calamity and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
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 examine and search our ways, and return 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, and you have not forgiven.
43 तपाईंले आफैलाई रिसले ढाक्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो पिछा गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मार्नुभएको छ, जोगाउनुभएको छैन ।
You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you killed without sparing.
44 कुनै प्रार्थनाले नछेडोस् भनेर तपाईंले आफैलाई बादलले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
45 तपाईंले जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा हामीलाई फोहोरको थुप्रो र कसिङ्गर बनाउनुभएको छ ।
You have made us rubbish 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 on us, devastation and destruction.
48 मेरा जाति नष्ट गरिएकाले मेरा आँखाबाट आँसुको धारा बहन्छ ।
Streams of tears run down from my eyes because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 मेरा आँखाबाट नरोकिकन, विश्राम नगरीकन आँसु बहन्छ,
My tears flow and do not cease, without respite,
50 जबसम्म परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्न ।
until Jehovah looks down and sees from heaven.
51 मेरो सहरका सबै छोरीको कारण मेरा आँखाले मलाई शोकित तुल्याए ।
My eyes bring my soul grief, 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 relentlessly 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 a pit, and have cast a stone on 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 finished.'
55 हे परमप्रभु, खाडलको गहिराइबाट मैले तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारेँ ।
I called on your name, Jehovah, out of the depths of the pit.
56 “मैले मदतको लागि पुकार्दा तपाईंका कान बन्द नगर्नुहोस्” भनी मैले भन्दा तपाईंको मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो ।
You heard my voice; do not hide your ear at my sighs, to my cry.
57 मैले पुकार गरेको त्यस दिनमा तपाईं नजिक आउनुभयो । तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, “नडरा ।”
You drew near in the day that I called on you; you said, "Do not be afraid."
58 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो पक्षमा लड्नुभयो । तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान बचाइदिनुभयो ।
Jehovah, you have taken up the case for my soul; you have redeemed my life.
59 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका खराबी तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ । मेरो मुद्दाको इन्साफ गरिदिनुहोस् ।
You have seen, Jehovah, the wrong done to me; judge my case.
60 तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका अपमान, मेरो विरुद्धमा रचेका सबै षड्यन्त्र तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
You have seen all their vengeance and all their plots against me.
61 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेका निन्दा र मेरो बारेमा भएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ ।
You have heard their insults, Jehovah, and all their plots against me.
62 मेरो विरुद्धमा मेरा शत्रुहरूका बोली र अभियोग दिनभरि आउँछन् ।
The lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
63 तिनीहरू कसरी बस्छन्, र उठ्छन्, हेर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका गीतले मेरो ठट्टा गर्छन् ।
Look their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their mocking song.
64 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई बदला लिनुहोस् ।
You will render to them what they deserve, Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.
65 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदय लज्जित पर्न दिनुहुने छ । तपाईंको दण्डाज्ञा तिनीहरूमाथि परोस् ।
You will give them hardness of heart as your curse to them.
66 हे परमप्रभु, रिसमा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई खेद्नुहुन्छ, र स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुहुन्छ ।
You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
