< 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 day long.
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 surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6 उहाँले मलाई धेरै पहिले मर्नेहरूजस्तै अन्धकार ठाउँहरूमा बस्‍न लगाउनुभयो ।
He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
7 उहाँले मरो चारैतिर पर्खाल लगाउनुभयो । त्यसैले म भाग्‍न सक्दिनँ । उहाँले मेरा साङ्लाहरू गह्रौँ बनाइदिनुभयो,
He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain 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 turned away my path, 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 kidneys.
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 day long.
15 उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भरिदिनुभयो, र ऐरेलु पिउन लगाउनुभयो ।
He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
16 उहाँले रोडाले मेरा दाँत पिँध्‍नुभयो, र खरानीमा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिदिनुभयो ।
He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
17 मेरो प्राण शान्तिबाट वञ्चित भएको छ । प्रसन्‍नता के हो भनी मैले बिर्सेको छु ।
You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
18 त्यसैले म भन्छु, “मेरो धैर्य नष्‍ट भएको छ, र मेरो भरोसा परमप्रभुमा नै छ ।”
I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”
19 मेरो कष्‍ट र मेरो फिरन्तेपन, ऐरेलु र तिक्ततालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
20 म निरन्तर यसलाई सम्झन्छु, र म मभित्रै हताश भएको छु ।
My soul still remembers them, 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 because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t 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 ।
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
25 परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गर्नेहरू, उहाँको खोजी गर्नेहरूका निम्ति उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ ।
The LORD 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 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 ।
Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
29 त्यसले आफ्नो मुख धूलोमा लगाओस् । अझै पनि आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ ।
Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may 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 full of 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 children 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 away 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 doesn’t approve.
37 परमप्रभुले उर्दी नगर्नुभएसम्म कसले बोलेको कुरा पुरा भएको छ?
Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
38 के सर्वोच्‍च परमेश्‍वरको मुखबाट नै विपत्ति र राम्रा कुराहरू दुवै आउँदैनन् र?
Doesn’t evil 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 should 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 the LORD.
41 हाम्रा हृदय र हाम्रा हात स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने परमेश्‍वमा उठाऔँ, र भनौँ:
Let’s 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. You have not pardoned.
43 तपाईंले आफैलाई रिसले ढाक्‍नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो पिछा गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले मार्नुभएको छ, जोगाउनुभएको छैन ।
“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
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 an off-scouring and refuse in the middle 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 ।
Terror and the pit have come on 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 doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
50 जबसम्म परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्‍न ।
until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
51 मेरो सहरका सबै छोरीको कारण मेरा आँखाले मलाई शोकित तुल्याए ।
My eye affects 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 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 the dungeon, 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 cut off.”
55 हे परमप्रभु, खाडलको गहिराइबाट मैले तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारेँ ।
I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
56 “मैले मदतको लागि पुकार्दा तपाईंका कान बन्द नगर्नुहोस्” भनी मैले भन्दा तपाईंको मेरो सोर सुन्‍नुभयो ।
You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
57 मैले पुकार गरेको त्यस दिनमा तपाईं नजिक आउनुभयो । तपाईंले भन्‍नुभयो, “नडरा ।”
You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
58 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो पक्षमा लड्नुभयो । तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान बचाइदिनुभयो ।
Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
59 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका खराबी तपाईंले देख्‍नुभएको छ । मेरो मुद्दाको इन्साफ गरिदिनुहोस् ।
LORD, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
60 तिनीहरूले मलाई गरेका अपमान, मेरो विरुद्धमा रचेका सबै षड्यन्त्र तपाईंले देख्‍नुभएको छ ।
You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
61 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेका निन्दा र मेरो बारेमा भएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंले देख्‍नुभएको छ ।
You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their plans 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 ।
You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
64 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई बदला लिनुहोस् ।
You will pay them back, LORD, 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, 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 the LORD.
