Jeremiah 4
1 If you will come back, O Israel, says the Lord, you will come back to me: and if you will put away your disgusting ways, you will not be sent away from before me.
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “ए इस्राएल, तँ फर्किस् भने तँ मतिरै फर्किनुपर्छ । तैंले मेरो सामुबाट घिनलाग्दा वस्तुहरू हटाइस् र फेरि मबाट तर्केर गइनस् भने,
2 And you will take your oath, By the living Lord, in good faith and wisdom and righteousness; and the nations will make use of you as a blessing, and in you will they take a pride.
'परमप्रभुको नाउँमा' भनेर तैंले शपथ खाँदा तँ सत्य, न्यायी र धर्मी हुनुपर्छ। तब जाति-जातिहरू उहाँमा आशिषित हुनेछन्, र उहाँलाई नै तिनीहरूले महिमा दिनेछन् ।”
3 For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: Get your unworked land ploughed up, do not put in your seeds among thorns.
यहूदा र यरूशलेममा भएका हरेक व्यक्तिलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘तिमीहरूको खेत जोत, र काँडाहरूका बिचमा बीउ नछर ।
4 Undergo a circumcision of the heart, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem: or my wrath may come out like fire, burning so that no one is able to put it out, because of the evil of your doings.
हे यहूदाका मानसिहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको निम्ति आफ्नो खतना गर, र तिमीहरूको हृदय छोप्ने छाला हटाओ, नत्रता तिमीहरूका कार्यको दुष्टताको कारणले कसैले निभाउन नसक्ने गरी बल्नेछ, मेरो क्रोध आगोझैं दन्कनेछ ।
5 Say openly in Judah, give it out in Jerusalem, and say, Let the horn be sounded in the land: crying out in a loud voice, Come together, and let us go into the walled towns.
यहूदामा कराओ र यरूशलेममा सुनियोस् । यसो भन, 'देशमा तुरही फुक ।' यसो भनेर घोषणा गर, 'सँगैसँगै भेला होओ । हामी किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरूमा जाऔं ।'
6 Put up a flag for a sign to Zion: go in flight so that you may be safe, waiting no longer: for I will send evil from the north, and a great destruction.
सङ्केत दिने झण्डा उठाओ र त्यसलाई सियोनतर्फ औंल्याओ, र सुरक्षाको लागि दौड । नबस, किनकि म उत्तरबाट ठुलो विनाश र विपत्ति ल्याउँदैछु ।
7 A lion has gone up from his secret place in the woods, and one who makes waste the nations is on his way; he has gone out from his place, to make your land unpeopled, so that your towns will be made waste, with no man living in them.
आफ्नो झाडिबाट सिंह बाहिर आउँदैछ, र जाति-जातिहरूलाई नष्ट पार्ने व्यक्ति प्रस्थान गरिसकेको छ । तिमीहरूको देशमा त्रास ल्याउन, तिमीहरूका सहरहरूलाई कोही नबस्ने गरी भग्नावशेषमा परिणत गर्न त्यो आफ्नो ठाउँ छाडेर आउँदैछ ।
8 For this put on haircloth, with weeping and loud crying: for the burning wrath of the Lord is not turned back from us.
यही कारणले गर्दा, आफैलाई भाङ्ग्राले बेर, विलाप गर र रोओ । किनकि परमप्रभुको रिसको शक्ति हामीबाट तर्केर गएको छैन ।
9 And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king will be dead in him, and the hearts of the rulers; and the priests will be overcome with fear, and the prophets with wonder.
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “त्यस दिन राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका हृदय काम्नेछन् । पुजारीहरू भयभीत हुनेछन्, र अगमवक्ताहरू त्रसित हुनेछन् ।”
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! your words were not true when you said to this people and to Jerusalem, You will have peace; when the sword has come even to the soul.
त्यसैले मैले भनें, “हाय, परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, 'तिमीहरूका लागि शान्ति हुनेछ' भनेर निश्चय नै तपाईंले यी मानिस र यरूशलेमलाई पूर्णतः धोका दिनुभएको छ । तापनि तरवारले तिनीहरूको जीवनको विरुद्धमा प्रहार गर्दैछ ।”
11 At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A burning wind from the open hilltops in the waste land is blowing on the daughter of my people, not for separating or cleaning the grain;
त्यस बेला यरूशलेम र यस जातिको विषयमा यसो भनिनेछ, “मरुभूमिका मैदानहरूबाट आएको एउटा पोल्ने बतासले मेरो मानिसहरूका छोरीकहाँ आफ्नो मार्ग बनाउँछ । यसले तिनीहरूलाई निफन्ने वा शुद्ध पार्ने छैन ।
12 A full wind will come for me: and now I will give my decision against them.
मेरो आज्ञामा त्योभन्दा अझै प्रचण्ड बतास आउनेछ, र अब म तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दण्डाज्ञा ल्याउनेछु ।
13 See, he will come up like the clouds, and his war-carriages like the storm-wind: his horses are quicker than eagles. Sorrow is ours, for destruction has come on us.
हेर, बादलले झैं उहाँले आक्रमण गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँका रथहरू आँधीजस्ता छन् । उहाँका घोडाहरू गरुडहरूभन्दा छिटो कुद्छन् । हामीलाई धिक्कार छ, किनकि हामी सर्वनाश हुनेछौं ।
14 O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?
ए यरूशलेम, दुष्टताबाट आफ्नो हृदय शुद्ध पार् जसले गर्दा तँ बाँच्न सक्छस् । तेरा गहिरा-गहिरा विचारहरू कहिलेसम्म कसरी पाप गर्ने भन्ने विषयमा हुनेछ?
15 For a voice is sounding from Dan, giving out evil from the hills of Ephraim:
दानबाट एउटा आवाजले खबर ल्याउँदैछ, र एफ्राइमका पर्वतहरूबाट आउँदो विपत्ति सुनिंदैछ ।
16 Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah.
जाति-जातिहरूलाई यस विषयमा सोच्न लगाः हेर्, यहूदाका सहरहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धको हल्ला मच्चाउन टाढाको देशबाट घेरा हाल्नेहरू आउँदैछन् भनी यरूशलेमलाई सुचना गर् ।
17 Like keepers of a field they are against her on every side; because she has been fighting against me, says the Lord.
तिनीहरू खनजोत गरिएको बारीको चारैतिर रुँग्नेहरूजस्तै हुनेछन्, किनकि त्यो मेरो विरुद्धमा बागी भएको छ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो,
18 Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.
र तेरा चाल र कामहरूले तँमाथि यी कुरा ल्याएका छन् । यो तेरो दण्ड हुनेछ । यो कति भयानक हुनेछ! यसले तेरो हृदयलाई नै प्रहार गर्नेछ ।
19 My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.
ए मेरो हृदय, मेरो हृदय! म आफ्नो हृदयको पीडामा छु । मेरो हृदय मभित्रै हल्लिएको छ । म चुप रहन सक्दिनँ किनकि मैले तुरहीको आवाज अर्थात् युद्धको ध्वनि सुनेको छु ।
20 News is given of destruction on destruction; all the land is made waste: suddenly my tents, straight away my curtains, are made waste.
विपत्तिपछि विपत्ति आउनेछ । किनकि सारा देश भग्नावशेष हुन्छ । अकस्मात् मेरा पालहरू अनि मेरा पर्दाहरू एकै क्षणमा नष्ट पारिए ।
21 How long will I go on seeing the flag and hearing the sound of the war-horn?
मैले कहिलेसम्म शत्रुको यद्धको झण्डा हेर्ने? के मैले तुरहीको आवाजलाई सुन्नेछु?
22 For my people are foolish, they have no knowledge of me; they are evil-minded children, without sense, all of them: they are wise in evil-doing, but have no knowledge of doing good.
मेरो जातिको मूर्खताको कारणले तिनीहरूले मलाई चिन्दैनन् । तिनीहरू निर्बुद्धी मानिसहरू हुन्, र तिनीहरूको समझशक्ति छैन । तिनीहरूमा दुष्ट्याइँको सिप छ, तर भलाइ गर्न जान्दैनन् ।
23 Looking at the earth, I saw that it was waste and without form; and to the heavens, that they had no light.
मैले देशलाई हेरें। हेर, यो आकारहीन र शून्य थियो । किनकि आकाशमण्डलको लागि कुनै ज्योति थिएन ।
24 Looking at the mountains, I saw them shaking, and all the hills were moved about.
मैले पर्वतहरूलाई हेरें । हेर्, ती थरथर काँप्दै थिए, र सबै डाँडा यताउता हल्लिरहेका थिए ।
25 Looking, I saw that there was no man, and all the birds of heaven had gone in flight.
मैले हेरें । हेर्, त्यहाँ कोही थिएन, र आकाशका सबै चरा उडेर भागेका थिए ।
26 Looking, I saw that the fertile field was a waste, and all its towns were broken down before the Lord and before his burning wrath.
मैले हेरें । परमप्रभुको सामु, उहाँको भयानक क्रोधको सामु बगैँचा मरुभूमि भएको थियो, र सबै सहरहरू ध्वस्त भएका थिए ।
27 For this is what the Lord has said: All the land will become a waste; I will make destruction complete.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “सारा देश ध्वस्त हुनेछ, तर म यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पार्दिनँ ।
28 The earth will be weeping for this, and the heavens on high will be black: because I have said it, and I will not go back from it; it is my purpose, and it will not be changed.
यसकारण पृथ्वीले शोक गर्नेछ, र माथि आकाशमण्डल अँध्यारो हुनेछ । किनकि मैले आफ्नो मनको कुरा घोषणा गरेको छु । म त्यसलाई रोक्दिनँ । त्यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गर्नदेखि म तर्कन्नँ ।
29 All the land is in flight because of the noise of the horsemen and the bowmen; they have taken cover in the woodland and up on the rocks: every town has been given up, not a man is living in them.
घोडचढीहरू र काँड बोकेका धनुर्धारीहरूको आवाज सुनेर हरेक सहर भाग्नेछ । तिनीहरू जङ्गलभित्र दौडनेछन् । हरेक सहर चट्टानका ठाउँहरूमा उक्लनेछ । सहरहरू त्यागिने छन्, किनकि तिनमा बसोबास गर्ने कोही हुनेछैन ।
30 And you, when you are made waste, what will you do? Though you are clothed in red, though you make yourself beautiful with ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes wide with paint, it is for nothing that you make yourself fair; your lovers have no more desire for you, they have designs on your life.
अब तँ उजाड पारिएकी छेस्, तब तँ के गर्नेछेस्? तैंले रातो पोशाक पहिरिने, सुनका गरगहना लगाउने र तेरा आँखा गाजले ठुला बनाउने गरे तापनि तँसित कामवासनामा फसेका पुरुषहरूले नै अब तँलाई इन्कार गर्छन् । बरु, तिनीहरूले तेरो जीवन लिन खोज्दैछन् ।
31 A voice has come to my ears like the voice of a woman in birth-pains, the pain of one giving birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, fighting for breath, stretching out her hands, saying, Now sorrow is mine! for my strength is gone from me before the takers of life.
त्यसैले म पीडाको आवाज, पहिलो बच्चाको जन्ममा हुने प्रसव-वेदना र सियोनकी छोरीको चिच्याहट सुन्दैछु । त्यसले स्वाँ-स्वाँ गर्दै सास फेर्दैछे । त्यसले आफ्ना हात फैलाउँछे, 'मलाई धिक्कार छ! यी हत्याराहरूको कारणले गर्दा म मूर्छा परिरहेकी छु ।”
