Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
2 Up! go down to the potter's house, and there I will let my words come to your ears.
“उठ् र कुमालेको घरमा जा, किनकि त्यहाँ म तँलाई मेरो वचन सुनाउनेछु ।”
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and he was doing his work on the stones.
त्यसैले म कुमालेको घरमा गएँ र हेरें । कुमाले आफ्नो चक्कामा काम गरिरहेको थियो ।
4 And when the vessel, which he was forming out of earth, got damaged in the hand of the potter, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it.
तर त्यसले बनाइरहेको माटोको भाँडो त्यसको आफ्नै हातमा बिग्रियो । त्यसैले उसले आफ्नो मन बद्ल्यो र आफ्नो दृष्टिमा असल लागेअनुसार अर्को भाँडो बनायो ।
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
6 O Israel, am I not able to do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. See, like earth in the potter's hand are you in my hands, O Israel.
“ए इस्राएलका घराना हो, के म तिमीहरूलाई यही कुमालेले जस्तै गर्न सक्दिनँ र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । हेर, ए इस्राएलका घराना हो, कुमालेको हातमा माटो भएझैं तिमीहरू मेरो हातमा तेस्तै छौ ।
7 Whenever I say anything about uprooting a nation or a kingdom, and smashing it and sending destruction on it;
एक समय एक जाति वा राज्यलाई म धपाउनेछु, त्यसलाई तोड्नेछु वा नष्ट गर्नेछु भनी म घोषणा गर्न सक्छु ।
8 If, in that very minute, that nation of which I was talking is turned away from its evil, my purpose of doing evil to them will be changed.
तर मैले त्यस्तो घोषणा गरेको त्यो जाति दुष्ट्याइँबाट फर्कन्छ भने मैले त्यसमाथि ल्याउने योजना गरेको विपत्ति म ल्याउनेछैनँ ।
9 And whenever I say anything about building up a nation or a kingdom, and planting it;
अर्को समयमा मैले कुनै जाति वा राज्यलाई बनाउने वा रोप्नेछु भनी म घोषणा गर्न सक्छु ।
10 If, in that very minute, it does evil in my eyes, going against my orders, then my good purpose, which I said I would do for them, will be changed.
तर मेरो कुरा नसुनेर त्यसले मेरो दृष्टिमा खराबी गर्छ भने, मैले त्यसलाई गर्नेछु भनेको घोषणाको भलाइ गर्न म रोक्नेछु ।
11 Now, then, say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am forming an evil thing against you, and designing a design against you: let every man come back now from his evil way, and let your ways and your doings be changed for the better.
त्यसैले अब, यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूसलेमका बासिन्दाहरूसित बोल् र भन्, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, मैले तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा विपत्तिको रचना गर्नै लागेको छु । मैले तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा योजना बनाउने लागेको छु । तिमीहरूका चाल र तिमीहरूका अभ्यासहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भलो ल्याउने गरी हरेक व्यक्तिले आफ्नो दुष्ट चालबाट पश्चात्ताप गरोस् ।'
12 But they will say, There is no hope: we will go on in our designs, and every one of us will do what he is moved by the pride of his evil heart to do.
तर तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'यो व्यर्थ छ । हामी आफ्नै योजनाअनुसार काम गर्नेछौं । हामी हरेकले आफ्नै दुष्ट, हठी हृदयले इच्छा गरेअनुसार गर्नेछौं ।'
13 So this is what the Lord has said: Make search among the nations and see who has had word of such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very shocking thing.
त्यसकारण परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “जातिहरूलाई सोध्, यो जस्तो कुरो कसले कहिलै सुनेको छ? इस्राएली कन्याले अति घृणित काम गरेकी छे ।
14 Will the white snow go away from the top of Sirion? will the cold waters flowing from the mountains become dry?
के लेबनानको हिउँले कहिल्यै यसका चट्टानका पहाडहरूलाई छोड्छ र? के टाढाबाट आउने पहाडका नदीहरू, ती चिसा नदीहरू कहिल्यै सुक्छन् र?
15 For my people have put me out of their memory, burning perfumes to that which is nothing; and because of this, I will put a cause of falling in their ways, even in the old roads, and will make them go on side-roads, in a way not lifted up;
तापनि मेरा मानिसहरूले मलाई भुलेका छन् । तिनीहरूले बेकम्मा मूर्तिहरूलाई भेटी चढाएका छन्, र आफ्ना मार्गहरूमा ठक्कर खाएका छन् । कच्ची बाटोमा हिंड्न भनेर तिनीहरूले प्राचीन बाटोलाई छाडेका छन् ।
16 Making their land a thing of wonder, causing sounds of surprise for ever; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, shaking his head.
तिनीहरूको देश त्रास बन्नेछ । सदासर्वदा गिल्लाको वस्तु बन्नेछ । त्यसबाट भएर जाने हरेक डराउनेछ, र टाउको हल्लाउनेछ ।
17 I will send them in flight, as from an east wind, before the attacker; I will let them see my back and not my face on the day of their downfall.
तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूकै सामु म तिनीहरूलाई पुर्वीय बतासझैं तितर-बितर पार्नेछु । तिनीहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा म तिनीहरूलाई मेरो पिठिउँ फर्काउनेछु, मेरो मुहार होइन ।”
18 Then they said, Come, let us make a design against Jeremiah; for teaching will never be cut off from the priest, or wisdom from the wise, or the word from the prophet. Come, let us make use of his words for an attack on him, and let us give attention with care to what he says.
त्यसैले मानिसहरूले भने, “आओ, हामी यर्मियाको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्रहरू रचौं, किनकि पुजारीहरूबाट व्यवस्था वा बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूबाट सरसल्लाह वा अगमवक्ताहरूबाट वचन कहिल्यै नष्ट हुने छैनन् । आओ, हाम्रा वचनहरूले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गरौं, अनि अब फेरि त्यसले घोषणा गरेका कुराहरूमा हामी ध्यान नदिऊँ ।”
19 Give thought to me, O Lord, and give ear to the voice of those who put forward a cause against me.
हे परमप्रभु, मेरो कुरा ध्यानसित सुन्नुहोस्, र मेरा शत्रुहरूका आवाज सुन्नुहोस् ।
20 Is evil to be the reward of good? for they have made a deep hole for my soul. Keep in mind how I took my place before you, to say a good word for them so that your wrath might be turned away from them.
म तिनीहरूका लागि असल भएको हुनाले के साँच्चै तिनीहरूबाट आउने विपत्ति मेरो इनाम हुनेछ? किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरो लागि एउटा खाडल खनेका छन् । तिनीहरूबाट तपाईंको क्रोध हटाउन तिनीहरूको कल्याणको पक्षमा म कसरी तपाईंको सामु खडा भएको थिएँ भनी सम्झनुहोस् ।
21 For this cause, let their children be without food, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be without children and become widows; let their men be overtaken by death, and their young men be put to the sword in the fight.
त्यसकारण तिनीहरूका सन्तानलाई अनिकालमा पर्न दिनुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई तरवार खेलाउनेहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुहोस् । यसरी तिनीहरूका स्त्रीहरू शोकमा परून् र विधना होऊन्, अनि तिनीहरूका पुरुषहरू मारिऊन्, र तिनीहरूका युवाहरू युद्धमा तरवारले मारिऊन् ।
22 Let a cry for help go up from their houses, when you send an armed band on them suddenly: for they have made a hole in which to take me, and have put nets for my feet secretly.
तपाईंले तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा एक्कासि आक्रमणकारीहरू ल्याउनुहुँदा तिनीहरूका घरहरूबाट रुवाबासीको सोर सुनियोस् । किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई पक्रन एउटा खाडल खनेका छन्, र मेरो खुट्टाका लागि लुकाएर पासो थापेका छन् ।
23 But you, Lord, have knowledge of all the designs which they have made against my life; let not their evil-doing be covered or their sin be washed away from before your eyes: but let it be a cause of falling before you: so do to them in the time of your wrath.
तर हे परमप्रभु, मलाई मार्न तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा बनाएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंलाई थाहा छ । तिनीहरूका अधर्म र पाप क्षमा नगर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका पाप तपाईंबाट नहटाउनुहोस् । बरु, तिनीहरू तपाईंकै सामु पराजित होऊन् । तपाईंको क्रोधको समयमा तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा उत्रनुहोस् ।
