< Jeremias 22 >

1 Thus says the Lord; Go you, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and you shall speak there this word,
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यहूदाको राजाको घरमा तल जा र त्यहाँ यो वचन घोषणा गर्,
2 and you shall say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sit on the throne of David, you, and your house, and your people, and they that go in at these gates:
यसो भन, 'ए यहूदाका राजा, तँ जो दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍छस्, तँ र तेरा सेवकहरू र यी ढोकाहरूद्वारा आउने तेरा मानिसहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
3 thus says the Lord; Execute you judgement and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राख, अनि लुटिएको कुनै व्यक्तिलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेको हातबाट छुटकारा देओ । तिमीहरूको देशमा भएका कुनै पनि विदेशी वा अनाथ वा विधवालाई दुर्व्यवहार नगर । यस ठाउँमा हिंसा नगर वा निर्दोष रगत नबगाओ ।
4 For if you will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
तिमीहरूले साँच्‍चै यी कुरा गर्‍यौ भने, दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍ने राजाहरू, रथ र घोडाहरूमा सवार ऊ, उसका सेवकहरू र उसका मानिसहरू यी ढोकाहरूभित्र यो मन्‍दिरमा पस्‍नेछन् ।
5 But if you will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
तर मैले घोषणा गरेका यी वचन तिमीहरूले सुन्‍दैनौ भने—यो राजदरबार भग्‍नावशेष हुनेछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो' ।”
6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; You are Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make you a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
किनकि यहूदाका राजाको घरानाको बारेमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तँ मेरो लागि गिलाद वा लेबनानको टाकुराजस्तै छस् । तापनि म तँलाई उजाड-स्थान, मानिसहरू नबस्‍ने सहरहरूजस्तै तुल्याउनेछु ।
7 and I will bring upon you a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
किनकि तेरो विरुद्धमा आउनलाई मैले विनाशकहरू तोकेको छु । मानिसहरूले आ-आफ्ना हतियारहरूले सबैभन्दा राम्रा-राम्रा देवदारुहरू काट्नेछन् र तिनलाई आगोमा जलाउने छन् ।
8 And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
तब धेरै जातिहरू त्यस सहर भएर जानेछन् । एउटाले अर्कोलाई सोध्‍ने छ, 'यस महान् सहरप्रति परमप्रभुले किन यसरी व्यवहार गर्नुभएको होला?'
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
तब अर्कोले जवाफ दिनेछ, 'किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरको करारलाई त्यागे र अरू देवताहरूको सामु निहुरे र तिनीहरूको पुजा गरे ।”
10 Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
मृत्‍यु भएको व्यक्तिको निम्‍ति नरोओ वा त्यसको निम्तो शोक गर, तर टाढा लगिन लागेको व्यक्तिप्रति धुरुधुरु रोओ, किनकि त्यो फेरि कहिल्यै फर्किने अनि आफ्नो जन्मभूमि देख्‍नेछैन ।'
11 For thus says the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:
किनकि यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाज जसले आफ्ना पिता योशियाहको सट्टामा राजा भई सेवा गरे, तिनको बारेमा परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'ऊ यस ठाउँबाट गएको छ, र फर्केर आउनेछैन ।
12 but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
जहाँ तिनीहरूले उसलाई कैद गरेर लगेका छन्, ऊ त्यहीं मर्नेछ, र उसले फेरि कहिल्यै यो देश देख्‍नेछैन ।'
13 He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgement, who works by means of his neighbour for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
जसले आफ्नो घर अधार्मिकता, आफ्ना माथिल्ला कोठाहरू अन्यायले बनाउँछ, जसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई सित्तैमा काम लगाउँछ, अनि जसले उसलाई ज्याला दिंदैन, त्‍यसलाई धिक्‍कार छ ।
14 You have built for yourself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
उसले भन्छ, 'आफ्नो निम्ति माथिल्ला कोठाहरू फराकिलो भएको एउटा ठुलो महल म बनाउनेछु ।' त्यसले उसले त्‍यसको निम्‍ति ठुला-ठुला झ्यालहरू बनाउँछ र त्‍यसमा देवदारुका पल्लाहरू हाल्‍छ अनि उसले त्‍यसमा रातो रङ लगाऊँछ ।
15 Shall you reign, because you are provoked with your father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for you to execute judgement and justice.
के यही कुराले तँलाई असल राजा बनाउँछन्, कि तैंले देवदारुका फल्याकहरू पाउने इच्‍छा गरिस्? तेरा बाबुले पनि खाए र पिए, तापनि न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राखे, होइन र? त्यसको लागि असल कुराहरू नै भए ।
16 They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this your not knowing me? says the Lord.
उसले गरिबहरू र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूको पक्षमा न्याय गर्‍यो । त्यस बेला राम्रै भएको थियो । के मलाई चिन्‍नुको अर्थ यही होइन र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
17 Behold, your eyes are not good, nor your heart, but [they go] after your covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
तर तेरो दृष्‍टि र हृदयमा बेइमान नाफा कमाउनु, निर्दोषहरूको रगत बगाउनु, अरूहरूलाई थिचोमिचो र अत्याचार गरेर कमाउनुबाहेक अरू केही छैन ।
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
त्यसकारण यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको विषयमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः 'हाय, मेरा दाजु! हाय मेरी बहिनी!' भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यसको लागि विलाप गर्नेछैनन् । 'हाय, मेरा मालिक! हाय, उहाँको गौरव!' भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यसको लागि विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
त्यसलाई एउटा गधालाई गाडेझैं घिसारेर टाढा लगिन्‍छ र यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूको बाहिर फ्याँकिनेछ ।
20 Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter your voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all your lovers are destroyed.
लेबनानका पहाडहरूमा उक्लेर जा र चर्को गरी करा । बाशानमा तेरो सोर निकाल् । अबारीम पहाडहरूबट चर्को गरी करा, किनकि तेरा सबै मित्रहरू नष्‍ट गरिनेछन् ।
21 I spoke to you on [occasion of] your trespass, but you said, I will not listen. This [has been] your way from your youth, you have not listened to my voice.
तँ सुरक्षित हुँदा मैले तँसित बोलेँ, तर तैंले भनिस्, 'म सुन्‍ने छैनँ ।' तेरो युवावस्थादेखि यो तेरो चलन थियो, किनकि तैंले मेरो सोर सुनेको छैनस् ।
22 The wind shall tend all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; for then shall you be ashamed and disgraced because of all your lovers.
बतासले तेरा सबै गोठालालाई उडाएर लैजानेछ, र तेरा मित्रहरू निर्वासनमा लगिनेछन् । तब तेरा सबै दुष्‍ट कामद्वारा तँ निश्‍चय नै लज्‍जित हुनेछस्, र अपमानित हुनेछस् ।
23 O you that dwell in Libanus, making your nest in the cedars, you shall groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon you.
तँ जो 'लेबनान' मा बस्‍छस्, जुन देवदारुले बनेका घरहरू हुन्, प्रसव-वेदनमा भएकी स्‍त्रीलाई जस्तै तँमाथि पीडा आउँदा तँ कसरी तँमाथि दया गरिनेछ र ।”
24 [As] I live, says the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck you;
“यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, जस्तो म जीवित छु, ए यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमको छोरो यहोयाकीन, तँ मेरो हातको छाप-औंठी होस्, म तँलाई धुजाधुजा पार्नेछु ।
25 and I will deliver you into the hands of them that seek your life, before whom you are afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
किनकि मैले तँलाई तेरो ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूको हातमा र जससँग तँ डराउँछस् तिनीहरूकै हातमा, बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर र कल्दीहरूको हातमा सुम्पिदिएको छु ।
26 And I will cast forth you, and your mother that bore you, into a land where you were not born; and there you shall die.
तँलाई र तँलाई जन्म दिने तेरी आमालाई म आर्को देशमा फल्‍नेछु, जुन देशमा तँ जन्‍मेको थिइनस् र त्यहाँ तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ ।
27 But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
यस देशको बारेमा जहाँ तिनीहरू फर्केर आउन इच्‍छा गर्नेछन्, तिनीहरू यहाँ फर्केर आउनेछैनन् ।
28 Jechonias is dishonoured as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
के यो तिरस्कृत र टुक्रटुक्रा भएको भाँडो हो? के यो मानिस यहोयाकीन एउटा त्‍यस्‍तो भाँडो हो जसले कसैलाई खुसी पार्दैन? ऊ र उसका सन्तानहरूलाई किन तिनीहरूले बाहिर फालेका छन् र तिनीहरूले नचिनेका देशमा तिनीहरूलाई पठाएका छन्?
29 Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
ए देश, ए देश, ए देश! परमप्रभुको वचन सुन् ।
30 Write you this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'यो मानिस यहोयाकीनको बारेमा लेखः ऊ सन्तानहीन हुनेछ । उसको आफ्नो जीवनकालमा उसले उन्‍नति गर्नेछैन, र उसका सन्तानहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि सफलता हासिले गर्नेछैनन्, वा फेरि कहिल्यै दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍नेछन् र यहूदामाथि राज्‍य गर्नेछन् ।”
