For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, “Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.”

Jeremiah 4:31 · WEB

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૪:૩૧
સિયોનની દીકરીનો સાદ મેં સાંભળ્યો છે. એ તો પ્રસૂતાની વેદના જેવો તથા તેના પહેલા બાળકને જન્મ આપતાં કષ્ટાતી સ્ત્રીનાં જેવો સાદ છે. તેઓ હાંફે છે તેઓ પોતાના હાથ પ્રસારે છે અને કહે છે કે, ‘મને અફસોસ!’ કેમ કે ઘાતકીઓને લીધે મારો જીવ ચિંતાતુર થઈ ગયો છે.’”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ४:३१
क्योंकि मैंने जच्चा का शब्द, पहलौठा जनती हुई स्त्री की सी चिल्लाहट सुनी है, यह सिय्योन की बेटी का शब्द है, जो हाँफती और हाथ फैलाए हुए यह कहती है, “हाय मुझ पर, मैं हत्यारों के हाथ पड़कर मूर्छित हो चली हूँ।”

In context

29Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers. They go into the thickets and climb up on the rocks. Every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.

30You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck yourself with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with makeup, you make yourself beautiful in vain. Your lovers despise you. They seek your life.

31For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, “Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.”
