Jeremiah 10
1 Give ear to the word which the Lord says to you, O people of Israel:
हे इस्राएलका घराना हो, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई घोषणा गरिरहनुभएको वचन सुन ।
2 This is what the Lord has said: Do not go in the way of the nations; have no fear of the signs of heaven, for the nations go in fear of them.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “जाति-जातिहरूका चाल नसिक, र आकाशका चिन्हहरूदेखि भयभीत नहोओ किनकि जातिहरू यसबाट भयभीत हुन्छन् ।
3 For that which is feared by the people is foolish: it is the work of the hands of the workman; for a tree is cut down by him out of the woods with his axe.
किनकि यी मानिसहरूका धार्मिक प्रचलनहरू बेकम्मा छन् । तिनीहरू जङ्गलमा भएको एउटा रुख काट्छन्, र कारीगरले काठको मूर्ति बनाउँछ ।
4 They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.
त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले सुन र चाँदीले त्यसलाई सजाउँछन् । त्यो नढलोस् भनेर तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई घन र किल्लाले ठोक्दछन् ।
5 It is like a pillar in a garden of plants, and has no voice: it has to be lifted, for it has no power of walking. Have no fear of it; for it has no power of doing evil and it is not able to do any good.
तिनीहरूले हातले बनाएको कुरो काँक्रोको बारीमा राखिने पुतलाजस्तो हो, किनकि तिनीहरूले पनि केही भन्न सक्दैनन्, र तिनीहरू हिंड्न नसक्ने भएका हुनाले तिनलाई बोक्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूदेखि नडराओ, किनकि तिनीहरूले खराबी ल्याउन सक्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले कुनै भलाइ नै गर्न सक्छन् ।”
6 There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power.
हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंजस्तो कोही पनि छैन । तपाईं महान् हुनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंको नाउँ शक्तिमा महान् छ ।
7 Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.
हे जातिहरूका महाराजा, तपाईंदेखि को डराउँदैन र? तपाईं यसैको लागि योग्य हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि जातिहरूका सबै बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूका सबै राज्यहरूका बिचमा तपाईंजस्तो कोही पनि छैन ।
8 But they are together like beasts and foolish: the teaching of false gods is wood.
तिनीहरू सबै उस्तै छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिहीन र मूर्ख छन् । तिनीहरू मूर्तीका चेलाहरू हुन् जुन काठबाहेक केही पनि होइन ।
9 Silver hammered into plates is sent from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the expert workman and of the hands of the gold-worker; blue and purple is their clothing, all the work of expert men.
तर्शीशबाट पिटिएका चाँदी अनि उपज देशबाट सुनारहरू, शुद्ध पार्नेका हातद्वारा बनाइएका सुन तिनीहरूले ल्याउँछन्, तिनीहरूका वस्त्रहरू निलो र बैजनी कपडा हुन् । तिनीहरूका सिपालु मानिसहरूले यी सबै कुरा बनाए ।
10 But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.
तर परमप्रभु नै साँचो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ नै जीवित परमेश्वर र अनन्तका राजा हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको रिसमा पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ, र जातिहरूले उहाँको रिस सहन सक्दैनन् ।
11 This is what you are to say to them: The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth will be cut off from the earth and from under the heavens.
तपाईं तिनीहरूसित यसरी बोल्नुहुन्छ, “स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी नबनाउने देवताहरू पृथ्वीबाट र यी आकाशको तलबाट नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.
तर उहाँले पृथ्वीलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले बनाउनुभयो, र उहाँले आफ्नो बुद्धिले संसार स्थापित गर्नुभयो, र आफ्नो समझशक्तिले आकाशलाई फैलाउनुभयो ।
13 At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.
उहाँको आवाजले आकाशमा पानीको गर्जन ल्याउँछ, र उहाँले पृथ्वीको कुनाबाट तुसारो ल्याउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले वर्षाको लागि चट्याङ पार्नुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो भण्डारबाट बतास पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
14 Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.
हरेक मानिस ज्ञानविना अज्ञानी भएको छ । धातुको काम गर्ने हरेक आफ्ना मूर्तिहरूबाट नै लाजमा परेको छ । किनकि त्यसले बनाएका मूर्तिहरू झूटा हुन् । तिनमा जीवन छैन ।
15 They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.
ती बेकम्मा छन्, गिल्ला गर्नेहरूको काम हुन् । तिनीहरूको दण्डको समयमा तिनीहरू नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
16 The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.
तर परमेश्वर जो याकूबको हिस्सा हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँ तीजस्ता छैनन्, किनकि उहाँ त सबै कुराका निर्माणकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ । इस्राएल उहाँको उत्तराधिकारको कुल हो । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु उहाँको नाउँ हो ।
17 Get your goods together and go out of the land, O you who are shut up in the walled town.
ए घेराबन्दीमा बाँचेका मानिसहरू हो, आ-आफ्नो पोकोपन्तरो जम्मा गर र देश छोड ।
18 For the Lord has said, I will send the people in flight like a stone from the land at this time, troubling them so that they will be conscious of it.
किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, यस बेला यो देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई मैले बाहिर फाल्न लागेको छु । म तिनीहरूमाथि सङ्कष्ट ल्याउनेछु, र तिनीहरूले यस्तै भएको भेट्टाउनेछन् ।”
19 Sorrow is mine for I am wounded! my wound may not be made well; and I said, Cruel is my disease, I may not be free from it.
मलाई धिक्कार छ! मेरा हड्डी भाँचिएका हुनाले मेरो चोट सङ्क्रमित भएको छ । त्यसैले मैले भनें, “निश्चय नै यो वेदना हो, तर मैले त्यो सहनैपर्छ ।”
20 My tent is pulled down and all my cords are broken: my children have gone from me, and they are not: no longer is there anyone to give help in stretching out my tent and hanging up my curtains.
मेरो पाल तहस-नहस पारिएको छ, र मेरा पालका सबै डोरी दुई टुक्रा पारेर काटिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले मेरा बालबालिकालाई मबाट टाढा लगेका छन्, त्यसैले तिनीहरू अब छैनन् । मेरो पाल टाँग्न वा मेरा पर्दाहरू उठाउन त्यहाँ अब फेरि कोही छैन ।
21 For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.
किनकि गोठालाहरू मूर्ख छन्, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्दैनन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरूको उन्नति भएको छैन, र तिनीहरूका सबै बगाल तितर-बितर भएका छन् ।
22 News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.
समाचारको खबर आएको छ, “हेर, यहूदाका सहरहरूलाई उजाड पारेर स्यालहरूका लुक्ने ठाउँ बनाउनलाई उत्तरको देशबाट एउटा ठुलो भूकम्प आउँदैछ ।”
23 O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.
हे परमप्रभु, म जान्दछु, मानिसको चाल ऊ आफैबाट आउँदैन । हिंडिरहेको कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले आफ्ना कदमहरूलाई निर्देशन दिंदैन ।
24 O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small.
हे परमप्रभु, मलाई न्यायले अनुशासित गर्नुहोस्, तपाईंको रिसमा होइन, नत्रता तपाईंले मलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
25 Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.
तपाईंले नचिन्ने जातिहरू र तपाईंको नाउँ नपुकार्ने परिवारहरूमाथि तपाईंको क्रोध खन्याउनुहोस् । किनकि तिनीहरूले याकूबलाई निलेका छन् र भष्म पारेका छन् यसरी उसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नास पारेका र उसको बासस्थानलाई उजाड पारेका छन् ।
