Jeremiah 3
1 They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.
“कुनै पुरुषले आफ्नी पत्नीसित सम्बन्ध-विच्छेद गर्यो, र उसको जीवनबाट त्यो गई अनि अर्को पुरुषकी पत्नी भई भने, ऊ फेरि फर्केर त्योकहाँ जान्छ र? के त्यो देश औधी दुषित हुँदैन र? तँ धेरै प्रेमी भएकी वेश्याजस्तै भएर बसेको छेस् । के तँ मकहाँ फर्कन्छेस्? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
2 Let your eyes be lifted up to the open hilltops, and see; where have you not been taken by your lovers? You have been seated waiting for them by the wayside like an Arabian in the waste land; you have made the land unclean with your loose ways and your evil-doing.
नाङ्गा डाँडाहरूतर्फ आफ्ना आँखा उठा र हेर् । के कुनै त्यस्तो ठाउँ छ, जहाँ तेरो अवैध यौनधन्दा छैन? एक जना अरबी उजाड-स्थानमा बसेझैं तँ आफ्ना प्रेमीहरूको प्रतीक्षा गर्दै बाटोका किनारहरूमा बस्छेस् । तेरो वेश्यावृत्ति र दुष्टताले तैंले देशलाई दुषित पारेको छेस् ।
3 So the showers have been kept back, and there has been no spring rain; still your brow is the brow of a loose woman, you will not let yourself be shamed.
त्यसैले वर्षा थामिएको छ, र वसन्त ऋतुको पानी परेको छैन । तरै पनि तँसित वेश्याको निधार छ । तँ लज्जित हुन इन्कार गर्छेस् ।
4 Will you not, from this time, make your prayer to me, crying, My father, you are the friend of my early years?
के भर्खरै मात्र तैंले मलाई पुकारिनस्, “हे मेरा पिता, मेरो युवावस्थादेखिको मेरो घनिष्ठ मित्र ।
5 Will he be angry for ever? will he keep his wrath to the end? These things you have said, and have done evil and have had your way.
के उहाँ सधैं रिसाउनुहुन्छ र? के उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोधलाई सधैं अन्त्यसम्म राख्नुहन्छ र?' हेर्! तैंले यसरी भनेको छेस्, तर तैंले त सके जति दुष्ट काम गर्छेस् ।”
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what Israel, turning away from me, has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every branching tree, acting like a loose woman there.
तब राजा योशियाहको शासनकालमा परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासहीन इस्राएलले के गरेको छ, तँ देख्छस्? त्यो हरेक अग्लो डाँडा र हरेक झ्याम्म परेको रुखमुनि गएकी छ, र त्यहाँ त्यसले वेश्याले झैं काम गरेकी छ ।
7 And I said, After she has done all these things she will come back to me; but she did not. And her false sister Judah saw it.
मैले भनें, “यी सबै कुरा गरेपछि त्यो म कहाँ फर्कन्छे', तर त्यो फर्किन । तब त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदाले यी सबै देखी ।
8 And though she saw that, because Israel, turning away from me, had been untrue to me, I had put her away and given her a statement in writing ending the relation between us, still Judah, her false sister, had no fear, but went and did the same.
त्यसैले मैले देखेँ, त्यसरी नै त्यस विश्वासहीन इस्राएलले व्यभिचार गरेकी छे, र मैले त्यसलाई निकालेको छु, र त्यसको विरुद्धमा त्यागपत्र दिएको छु । त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदा डराइन । त्यो पनि गई र वेश्याले झैं काम गरी ।
9 So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.
त्यसको वेश्यावृत्ति त्यसको लागि केहीजस्तो भएन । त्यसले देशलाई दुषित पारी, र त्यसले ढुङ्गा र रुखहरूसित व्यभिचार गरी ।
10 But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord.
यी सबै कुरापछि त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदा सारा हृदयले होइन तर झूट लिएर मकहाँ फर्की, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel in her turning away is seen to be more upright than false Judah.
तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासहीन इस्राएल विश्वासहीन यहूदाभन्दा बढी धर्मी भएको छ ।
12 Go, and give out these words to the north, and say, Come back, O Israel, though you have been turned away from me, says the Lord; my face will not be against you in wrath: for I am full of mercy, says the Lord, I will not be angry for ever.
जा र उत्तरलाई यी वचन घोषणा गर्, “'हे विश्वासहीन इस्राएल, फर्की' यो परमप्रभु घोषणा हो, 'म तँसित सधैं रिसाउनेछैनँ ।' परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, 'म विश्वासयोग्य भएको हुनाले म सदासर्वदा रिसाउनेछैन ।'
13 Only be conscious of your sin, the evil you have done against the Lord your God; you have gone with strange men under every branching tree, giving no attention to my voice, says the Lord.
तेरो अधर्मलाई स्वीकार गर्, किनकि परमप्रभु तेरा परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा तैंले अपराध गरेको छस्, हरेक झ्याम्म परेको रुखमुनि तैंले परदेशीहरूसित तेरा मार्गहरू बाँडेको छस् । किनकि तैंले मेरो कुरा सुनेको छैनस्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
14 Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;
'ए विश्वासहीन जाति, फर्की' यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, 'म तेरा पति हुँ ।' सहरबाट एक जना र एउटा परिवारबाट दुई जना गरी म तँलाई लिनेछु र म तँलाई सियोनमा ल्याउनेछु ।
15 And I will give you keepers, pleasing to my heart, who will give you your food with knowledge and wisdom.
मेरै जस्तो हृदय भएका गोठालाहरू म तँलाई दिनेछु, र ज्ञान र अन्तर्दृष्टिले तिनीहरूले तेरो हेरचाह गर्नेछन् ।
16 And it will come about, when your numbers are increased in the land, in those days, says the Lord, that they will no longer say, The ark of the agreement of the Lord: it will not come into their minds, they will not have any memory of it, or be conscious of the loss of it, and it will not be made again.
तब ती दिनमा देशमा तेरो वृद्धि हुनेछ, र तैले फल फलाउनेछस् भनी परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । तिनीहरूले फेरि यसो भन्नेछैनन्, 'परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक' । फेरि यो विषय तिनीहरूका हृदयमा आउनेछैन, वा सम्झना हुनेछैन । यो गुम्नेछैन र अर्को बनाइनेछैन ।’
17 At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.
त्यस बेला तिनीहरूले यरूशलेमको बारेमा घोषणा गर्ने छन्, 'यो परमप्रभुको सिंहासन हो ।' अनि अरू सबै जाति परमप्रभुको नाउँमा यरूशलेममा जम्मा हुनेछन् । अब उसो तिनीहरू तिनीहरूका दुष्ट हृदयको हठमा हिंड्नेछैनन् ।
18 In those days the family of Judah will go with the family of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north into the land which I gave for a heritage to your fathers.
ती दिनमा यहूदाको घराना इस्राएलको घरानासँगै हिंड्नेछ । तिनीहरू उत्तरको देशबाट मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई पैतृक-सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिएको देशमा सँगसँगै आउनेछन् ।
19 But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.
मेरो बारेमा मैले भनें, 'मेरो छोरोको रूपमा म तिमीहरूलाई व्यवहार गर्न र तिमीहरूलाई मनमोहक देश दिन चाहन्छु । यो पैतृक-सम्पत्ति अन्य कुनै पनि जातिसित भएको भन्दा सुन्दर छ । मैले भन्ने थिएँ, ‘तिमीहरूले मलाई बोलाउनेछौ, 'हे मेरा पिता' । तिमीहरू मलाई पछ्याउनदेखि तर्कनेथिएनौ भनी मैले भन्ने थिएँ ।
20 Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.
तर आफ्नो पतिको लागि विश्वासहीन भएकी स्त्रीझैं, ए इस्राएलका घराना हो, तैंले मलाई धोका दिएको छस्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
21 A voice is sounding on the open hilltops, the weeping and the prayers of the children of Israel; because their way is twisted, they have not kept the Lord their God in mind.
मैदानहरूमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको रुवाइ र चिच्च्याइको एउटा आवाज सुनिन्छ । किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मार्ग बद्लेका छन् । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सेका छन् ।
22 Come back, you children who have been turned away, and I will take away your desire for wandering. See, we have come to you, for you are the Lord our God.
“हे विश्वासहीन मानिस हो, फर्क । तिमीहरूको विश्वासघातलाई म निको पार्नेछु ।” “हेर्नुहोस्! हामी तपाईंकहाँ फर्कनेछौं किनकि तपाईं परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
23 Truly, the hills, and the noise of an army on the mountains, are a false hope: truly, in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
निश्चय नै डाँडाहरूबाट झूट आउँछ र पर्वतहरूबाट अलमल पार्ने आवाज आउँछ । निश्चय नै परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर इस्राएलको उद्धार हुनुहुन्छ ।
24 But the Baal has taken all the work of our fathers from our earliest days; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
तरै पनि लाजलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले परिश्रम गरेका तिनीहरूका बगाल, बथान, तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई भस्म पारेका छन् ।
25 Let us be stretched on the earth in our downfall, covering ourselves with our shame: for we have been sinners against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our earliest years even till this day: and we have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God.
हामी लाजमा पल्टौं । हाम्रो लाजले हामीलाई ढाकोस्, किनकि हामीले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छौं । हाम्रो युवावस्थादेखि आजको दिनसम्म हामी र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको आवाजलाई सुनेका छैनौं ।”
