< Jeremiah 50 >

1 This is the word that the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Chaldeans:
यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा कल्दीहरूको देश बेबिलोनको विषयमा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको वचन यही हो,
2 “Announce and declare to the nations; lift up a banner and proclaim it; hold nothing back when you say, ‘Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is shattered, her images are disgraced, her idols are broken in pieces.’
“जातिहरूलाई खबर गर र तिनीहरूलाई सुन्‍न लगा । सङ्केत उठा र तिनीहरूलाई सुन्‍न लगा । यसलाई नलुका । यसो भन्, 'बेबिलोनलाई लिइएको छ । बेललाई लाजमा पारिएको छ । मरोदक हताश भएको छ । यसका मूर्तिहरू लाजमा पारिएका छन् । यसका प्रतिमाहरू हताश पारिएका छन् ।'
3 For a nation from the north will come against her; it will make her land a desolation. No one will live in it; both man and beast will flee.”
यसको विरुद्धमा उत्तरबाट एउटा जातिको उदय हुनेछ, र यसको देशलाई उजाड पार्नेछ । यसमा कोही बस्‍ने छैन । मानिस र पशु दुवै भाग्‍नेछन् ।
4 “In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together, weeping as they come, and will seek the LORD their God.
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, ती दिनमा र त्‍यो समयमा इस्राएल र यहूदाका मानिसहरू रुँदैरुँदै जान र परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरको खोजी गर्न सँगसँगै आउनेछन् ।
5 They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
तिनीहरूले सियोनतिर जाने बाटो सोध्‍नेछन्, र यसो भन्दै त्‍यतैतिर फर्कनेछन्, हामि जानेछौं र परमप्रभुसित कहिलै नबिर्सिने अनन्त करारमा सहभगी हुनेछौं ।”
6 My people are lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, causing them to roam the mountains. They have wandered from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
मेरा मानिसहरू एउटा हराएको बगाल भएको छ । तिनीहरूका गोठालाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पहाडहरूमा बरालिदिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई एउटा पहाडदेखि अर्को पडाहमा फर्काएका छन् । तिनीहरू गए, अनि आफू बसेको ठाउँ तिनीहरूले बिर्से ।
7 All who found them devoured them, and their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the LORD, their true pasture, the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
तिनीहरूकहाँ जाने हरेकले तिनीहरूलाई निले । तिनीहरूका वैरीहरूले भने, 'हामी दोषी छैनौं, किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु, आफ्‍ना साँचो घर, आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूको आशाको विरुद्धमा पाप गरे ।'
8 Flee from the midst of Babylon; depart from the land of the Chaldeans; be like the he-goats that lead the flock.
बेबिलोनको बिचबाट निस्केर आओ । कल्दीहरूको देशबाट बाहिर जाओ । बोकाहरूजस्ता होओ जुन अरू बगालभन्दा अगिअगि जान्‍छन् ।
9 For behold, I stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north. They will line up against her; from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.
किनकि हेर, मैले काम गर्न र बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा उत्तरबाट म महान् जातिहरूको समूहलाई खडा गर्न लागेको छु । तिनीहरू आफै त्यसको विरुद्धमा व्यवस्थित हुनेछन् । त्यहाँबाट बेबिलोन कब्जा गरिनेछ । तिनीहरूका काँडहरू निपुण योद्धाजस्ता छन् जो रित्तो हात फर्कँदैनन् ।
10 Chaldea will be plundered; all who plunder her will have their fill,”
कल्दी लुटको माल बन्‍नेछ । यसलाई लुट्नेहरू सबै सन्तुष्‍ट हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
11 “Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph— you who plunder My inheritance— because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,
तँ रमाउँछस् । मेरो उत्तराधिकारको लुटको मालमा तैंले उत्सव मनाउँछस् । खर्कमा नाच्ने बाछोझैं तँ वरिपरि उफ्रन्छस् । शक्तिशाली घोडाझैं तँ हिनहिनाउँछस् ।
12 your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who bore you will be disgraced. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
त्यसैले तेरी आमा अत्यन्तै लज्‍जित हुनेछे । तँलाई जन्म दिने शर्ममा पर्नेछे । हेर, त्‍यो जातिहरूका बिचमा नीच हुनेछे । त्यो उजाड, सक्खा भूमि र मरुभूमि हुनेछे ।
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD, she will not be inhabited; she will become completely desolate. All who pass through Babylon will be horrified and will hiss at all her wounds.
परमप्रभुको क्रोधको कारणले बेबिलोनमा आबादी हुनेछैन, तर यो पूर्ण रूपमा सर्वनाश हुनेछ । बेबिलोनको कारणले यसबाट भएर जाने हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति तर्सनेछ, र यसका सबै चोटको कारण तिनीहरू गिल्‍ला गर्नेछन् ।
14 Line up in formation around Babylon, all you who draw the bow! Shoot at her! Spare no arrows! For she has sinned against the LORD.
बेबिलोनको चारैतिर भएकाहरू हो, यसको विरुद्धमा आफैलाई व्यवस्थित गर । धनु तन्काउने हरेकले यसलाई प्रहार गर्नुपर्छ । आफ्नो कुनै पनि काँड बाँकी नराख, किनकि त्यसले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छ ।
15 Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands in surrender; her towers have fallen; her walls are torn down. Since this is the vengeance of the LORD, take out your vengeance upon her; as she has done, do the same to her.
चारैतिर त्यसको विरुद्धमा सोर उच्‍च पार । त्यसले आत्मसमर्पण गरेको छ । त्यसका धरहराहरू ढलेका छन् । त्यसका पर्खालहरू भत्काइएका छन्, किनकि यो परमप्रभुको बदला हो । त्यसमाथि बदला लेओ । त्यसले जस्‍तो गरेको छ तेस्तै त्यसलाई गर ।
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and the one who wields the sickle at harvest time. In the face of the oppressor’s sword, each will turn to his own people, each will flee to his own land.
बेबिलोनमा बीउ छर्ने किसान र कटनीको समयमा हँसिया प्रयोग गर्ने दुवैलाई नाश पार । अत्याचारीको तरवारबाट हरेक व्यक्ति आफ्नै मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्कोस् । तिनीहरू आफ्नै देशमा फर्कून् ।
17 Israel is a scattered flock, chased away by lions. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.”
इस्राएल सिंहहरूद्वारा तितरबितर पारिएको र लखेटिएको भेडा हो । पहिले अश्शूरका राजाले त्यसलाई खायो । त्यसपछि बेबिलोनका राजाले त्यसका हड्‍डीहरू भाँचिदियो ।
18 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.
त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः हेर्, मैले बेबिलोनका राजा र त्यसको देशलाई दण्ड दिनै लागेको छु, जसरी मैले अश्शूरको देशलाई दण्ड दिएँ ।
19 I will return Israel to his pasture, and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
इस्राएललाई त्यसको मातृभूमिमा म पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु । ऊ कर्मेल र बाशानमा चर्नेछ । त्यसपछि ऊ एफ्राइम र गिलादका पहाडी इलाकामा सन्तुष्‍ट हुनेछ ।
20 In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, a search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for Judah’s sins, but they will not be found; for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.
परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, ती दिनमा र त्यो समयमा इस्राएलमा अधर्मको खोजी गरिनेछ, तर केही पनि पाइनेछैन । यहूदाका पापको विषयमा म जाँचबुझ गर्नेछु, तर केही पनि पाइने छैन, किनकि मैले जोगाउने बाँकीहरूलाई म क्षमा दिनेछु ।”
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the residents of Pekod. Kill them and devote them to destruction. Do all that I have commanded you,”
“मरातैम देश र पकोदका बासिन्दाहरूको विरुद्धमा खडा होओ । यो परमप्रभु घोषणा हो, तिनीहरूलाई तरवारमा राख, र विनाशको लागि तिनीहरूलाई अलग गर— मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेझैं हरेक कुरा गर ।
22 “The noise of battle is in the land— the noise of great destruction.
देशमा युद्धको ध्वनी र विशाल विनाशको सोर सुनिएको छ ।
23 How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
सबै देशका घन काटेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेर नाश गरिएका छन् । जातिहरूका बिचमा बेबिलोनचाहिं एउटा नष्‍ट गरिएको ठाउँ भएको छ ।
24 I laid a snare for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured because you challenged the LORD.
ए बेबिलोन, मैले तेरो लागि एउटा पासो थापेको छु, र तँ निर्वासनमा लगिइस् अनि तँलाई त्‍यसको बारेमा थाहा नै भएन । तँलाई भेट्टाइयो र कब्जा गरियो, किनकि तैंले परमप्रभुको विरोध गरिस् ।
25 The LORD has opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, for this is the work of the Lord GOD of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो अस्‍त्रभण्‍डार खोल्‍नुभएको छ, र आफ्नो रिसले काम गर्ने उहाँले हातहतियार ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । कल्दीहरूको देशमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको काम छ ।
26 Come against her from the farthest border. Break open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain. Devote her to destruction; leave her no survivors.
टाढाबाट त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर । त्यसका अन्‍नका ढुकुटीहरू खुला गर, र त्यसलाई अन्‍नको थुप्रोझैं थुपार । त्यसलाई विनाशको लागि अलग गर । त्यसको बाँकी रहेको एउटैलाई पनि नछोड ।
27 Kill all her young bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come— the time of their punishment.
त्यसका सबै साँढेहरूलाई मार । तिनीहरूलाई काटिने ठाउँमा पठाओ । तिनीहरूलाई धिक्‍का छ! किनकि तिनीहरूका दिन— तिनीहरूका दण्डको समय आएको छ ।
28 Listen to the fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon, declaring in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance for His temple.
बेबिलोनको देशबाट भागिरहेकाहरू र त्‍यहाँ बाँचेकाहरूको आवाज सुनिन्छ । यिनीहरूले सियोनका लागि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको बदला र उहाँको मन्दिरको बदलाको खबर दिनेछन् ।”
29 Summon the archers against Babylon, all who string the bow. Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
“बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा काँड हान्‍नेहरू, आफ्‍ना धनु तान्‍नेहरूलाई बोलाओ । त्यसको विरुद्धमा छाउनी हाल, र कोही पनि भाग्‍न नपाओस् । त्यसले गरेको कामअनुसार त्यसको बदला लेओ । त्यसले प्रयोग गरेको नापअनुसार त्यसलाई गर । किनभने त्यसले परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमपवित्रलाई दुषित पारेको थियो ।
30 Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
त्यसैले त्यसका युवाहरू सहरका चोकहरूमा ढल्‍नेछन्, र त्यस दिन त्यसका योद्धाहरू नष्‍ट हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
31 “Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, “for your day has come, the time when I will punish you.
“हेर्, अहङ्कारी, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु, यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, किनकि ए अहंकारी, तँलाई दण्ड दिने तेरो दिन आइपुगेको छ, जति बेला म तँलाई दण्‍ड दिनेछु ।
32 The arrogant one will stumble and fall with no one to pick him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities to consume all those around him.”
त्यसैले अहङ्कारीहरू ठक्‍कर खानेछन् र ढल्‍नेछन् । कसैले तिनीहरूलाई उठाउनेछैन । म तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा आगो लगाउनेछु । त्‍यसले उसको वरिपरि भएको हरेक कुरोलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।
33 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “The sons of Israel are oppressed, and the sons of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to release them.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँगै इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गरिएको छ । तिनीहरूलाई कब्जा गर्नेहरूले अझै पनि तिनीहरूलाई थुनिराखेका छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई जान दिन इन्‍कार गर्छन् ।
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He may bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.
तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने बलवान् हुनुहुन्छ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु उहाँको नाउँ हो । देशमा चैन ल्याउन र बेबिलोनमा बस्‍नेहरूकहाँ द्वन्‍द ल्याउन उहाँले साँच्‍चै तिनीहरूको पक्षमा बोल्नुहुनेछ ।
35 A sword is against the Chaldeans, declares the LORD, against those who live in Babylon, and against her officials and wise men.
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, कल्दीहरूको विरुद्धमा र बेबिलोनका बासिन्दाहरू, त्‍यसका अगुवाहरू र यसका बुद्धिमानी मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा एउटा तरवार छ ।
36 A sword is against her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is against her warriors, and they will be filled with terror.
व्यर्थका कुराहरू गर्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू मूर्ख हुनेछन् । त्यसका सिपाहीहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू त्रासले भरिनेछन् ।
37 A sword is against her horses and chariots and against all the foreigners in her midst, and they will become like women. A sword is against her treasuries, and they will be plundered.
तिनीहरूका घोडाहरू, तिनीहरूका रथहरू र बेबिलोनको बिचमा भएका सबै मानिसको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ, यसैले तिनीहरू स्‍त्रीहरूझैं हुनेछन् । त्यसका भण्डारहरूमा तरवार आउँदैछ, र ती लुटिनेछन् ।
38 A drought is upon her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and the people go mad over idols.
त्यसका नदीहरूमा खडेरी पर्दैछ, र ती सुक्‍नेछन् । किनकि त्यो बेकम्मा मूर्तिहरूको देश हो, र आफ्ना डरलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूद्वारा बौलाहा बनाइएका मानिसहरूले झैं तिनीहरू व्यवहार गर्छन् ।
39 So the desert creatures and hyenas will live there and ostriches will dwell there. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.
स्यालहरूसँगै मरुभूमिका जनावरहरू त्यहाँ बस्‍नेछन्, र अस्ट्रिचका बच्‍चाहरू त्यहाँ बस्‍नेछन् । किनकि त्यसमा फेरि कहिल्यै बासिन्‍दा बस्‍नेछैनन् । पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म त्यहाँ कोही पनि बस्‍नेछैन ।
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
जसरी परमेश्‍वरले सदोम र गमोरा अनि तिनीहरूका छिमेकीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्नुभयो, त्यसरी नै त्यहाँ कोही बस्‍नेछैन, कुनै व्यक्ति त्यहाँ रहनेछैन, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
41 Behold, an army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are stirred up from the ends of the earth.
“हेर, उत्तरबाट एउटा जाति आउँदैछ । पृथ्वीको पल्लो छेउबाट एउटा जाति र धेरै राजाहरूलाई उत्तेजित पारिंदैछ ।
42 They grasp the bow and spear; they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Babylon.
तिनीहरूले धनु र भालाहरू उठाउनेछन् । तिनीहरू क्रुर छन् र दया देखाउँदैनन् । ए बेबिलोनकी छोरी हो, तिनीहरूको सोर समुद्रको गर्जनझैं छ, र युद्ध गर्न तयार मानिसहरूझैं तेरो विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू घोडामा सवार हुँदैछन् ।
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report, and his hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped him, pain like that of a woman in labor.
बेबिलोनका राजाले तिनीहरूको बारेमा खबर सुन्यो, र त्यसका हात चिन्ताले फतक्‍कै गले । प्रसव-वेदनामा परेकी स्‍त्रीझैं वेदनाले त्यसलाई समात्यो ।
44 Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Babylon from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”
हेर्, त्यो यर्दनका जङ्गलहरूबाट सधैं हरिया रहने ठाउँमा सिंहझैं माथि उक्लनेछ । किनकि तिनीहरूलाई म तुरुन्‍तै त्यहाँबाट भाग्‍न लगाउनेछु, र यसको जिम्मामा म चुनिएको कसैलाई नियुक्त गर्नेछु । किनकि मजस्तो को छ अनि कसले मलाई बोलाउनेछ र? कुनचाहिं गोठालोले मेरो विरोध गर्न सक्छ?
45 Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Babylon and the strategies He has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.
त्यसैले परमप्रभुले बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा निधो गर्नुभएका योजनाहरू, कल्दीहरूको देशको विरुद्धमा उहाँले रच्नुभएका योजनाहरू सुन । निश्‍चय नै स-साना बगालका पनि घिस्याएर लगिनेछन् । तिनीहरूका खर्कहरू उजाड-स्थानमा परिणत हुनेछन् ।
46 At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will quake; a cry will be heard among the nations.
बेबिलोन पराजित गरिएको सोरमा पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ, र जातिहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको चिन्ताको सोर सुनिन्छ ।”
