< विलाप 5 >

1 हे परमप्रभु, हामीमाथि जे भएको छ, सो सम्झनुहोस् । हाम्रो अपमान हेर्नुहोस्, र विचार गर्नुहोस् ।
Remember, O Lord, what has happened to us: behold, and look on our reproach.
2 हाम्रो उत्तराधिकार पराईहरू र हाम्रा घरहरू विदेशीहरूलाई दिइए ।
Our inheritance has been turned away to aliens, our houses to strangers:
3 हामी अनाथ, पितृहीन भएका छौँ, र हाम्रा आमाहरू विधवाजस्ता छन् ।
we are become orphans, we have no father, our mothers are as widows.
4 हामीले पिउने पानीको लागि र हाम्रै दाउरा किन्‍न हामीले चाँदीको दाम तिर्नुपर्छ ।
We have drunk our water for money; our wood is sold to us [for a burden] on our neck:
5 हामीलाई पछ्याउनेहरू हाम्रो छेउमा छन् । हामी थाकेका छौँ, र हामीलाई चैन छैन ।
we have been persecuted, we have laboured, we have had no rest.
6 पर्याप्‍त खानाको लागि हामीले आफैलाई मिश्र र अश्शूरमा सुम्पिदिएका छौँ ।
Egypt gave the hand [to us], Assur to their own satisfaction.
7 हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूलेपाप गरे, र अब तिनीहरू छैनन्, र हामीले तिनीहरूका अधर्मको फल भोग्दछौँ ।
Our fathers sinned, [and] are not: we have borne their iniquities.
8 कमाराहरूले हामीमाथि शासन गर्छन्, र हामीलाई तिनीहरूको हातबाट छुटकारा दिने कोही छैन ।
Servants have ruled over us: there is none to ransom [us] out of their hand.
9 उजाड-स्थानमा भएको तरवारको कारण हाम्रा जीवन जोखिममा पारेर मात्रै हामी रोटी पाउँछौँ ।
We shall bring in our bread with [danger of] our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.
10 भोकको रापले गर्दा हाम्रो छाला चुलोझैँ तातिएको छ ।
Our skin is blackened like an oven; they are convulsed, because of the storms of famine.
11 सियोनमा स्‍त्रीहरू र यहूदाका सहरहरूमा कन्याहरू बलत्कार गरिएका छन् ।
They humbled the women in Sion, the virgins in the cities of Juda.
12 राजकुमारहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हातद्वारा झुण्ड्याइएका छन्, र धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई कुनै आदर देखाइएको छैन ।
Princes were hanged up by their hands: the elders were not honored.
13 युवाहरू जाँतोमा अन्‍न पिँध्‍न बाध्य पारिएका छन्, र ठिटाहरू दाउराको भारीले थिचिएर लडबडाउँदै हिँड्छन् ।
The chosen men lifted up [the voice in] weeping, and the youths fainted under the wood.
14 धर्म-गुरुहरूले सहरको मूल ढोका छोडेका छन्, र युवाहरूले तिनीहरूको सङ्गीत छोडिदिएका छन् ।
And the elders ceased from the gate, the chosen men ceased from their music.
15 हाम्रो हृदयको आनन्द हटेको छ, र हाम्रो नाच शोकमा परिणत भएको छ ।
The joy of our heart has ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16 मुकुट हाम्रो शिरबाट खसेको छ । हामीलाई धिक्‍कार छ! किनकि हामीले पाप गरेका छौँ ।
The crown has fallen [from] our head: yes, woe to us! for we have sinned.
17 हाम्रो यो हृदय दुर्बल भएको छ, र यिनै कुराको कारण हाम्रो आँखा धमिलिएका छन् ।
For this has grief come; our heart is sorrowful: for this our eyes are darkened.
18 सियोन पर्वत उजाड छ, जहाँ स्यालहरू घुमिहिँड्छन् ।
Over the mountain of Sion, because it is made desolate, foxes have walked therein.
19 तर हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले सदासर्वदा शासन गर्नुहुन्छ, र तपाईं पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म आफ्नो सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनुहुने छ ।
But you, O Lord, shall dwell for ever; your throne [shall endure] to generation and generation.
20 तपाईंले हामीलाई किन सदाको निम्ति बिर्सनुहुन्छ? तपाईंले हामीलाई यति धेरै दिनसम्म किन त्याग्‍नुहुन्छ?
Therefore will you utterly forget us, and abandon us a long time?
21 हे परमप्रभु, हामीलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुहोस्, र हामी पुनर्स्थापित हुने छौँ ।
Turn us, O Lord, to you, and we shall be turned; and renew our days as before.
22 तपाईंले हामीलाई बिलकुलै इन्कार गर्नुभएको छैन, र सम्झनै नसक्‍ने गरी तपाईं हामीसित रिसाउनुभएको छैन भने धेरै पहिले भएजस्तै हाम्रा दिन नवीकरण गरिदिनुहोस् ।
For you have indeed rejected us; you have been very angry against us.
