Jeremias 4
1 If Israel will return to me, says the Lord, he shall return: and if he will remove his abominations out of his mouth, and fear before me, and swear,
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 The Lord lives, with truth, in judgement and righteousness, then shall nations bless by him, and by him they shall praise God in Jerusalem.
'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 thus says the Lord to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Break up fresh ground for yourselves, and sow not amongst thorns.
यहूदा र यरूशलेममा भएका हरेक व्यक्तिलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘तिमीहरूको खेत जोत, र काँडाहरूका बिचमा बीउ नछर ।
4 Circumcise yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of heart, you men of Juda, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your devices.
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 Declare you in Juda, and let it be heard in Jerusalem: say you, Sound the trumpet in the land; cry you aloud: say you, Gather yourselves together, and let us enter into the fortified cities.
यहूदामा कराओ र यरूशलेममा सुनियोस् । यसो भन, 'देशमा तुरही फुक ।' यसो भनेर घोषणा गर, 'सँगैसँगै भेला होओ । हामी किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरूमा जाऔं ।'
6 Gather up [your wares] and flee to Sion: hasten, stay not: for I will bring evils from the north, and great destruction.
सङ्केत दिने झण्डा उठाओ र त्यसलाई सियोनतर्फ औंल्याओ, र सुरक्षाको लागि दौड । नबस, किनकि म उत्तरबाट ठुलो विनाश र विपत्ति ल्याउँदैछु ।
7 The lion is gone up from his lair, he has roused [himself] to the destruction of the nations, and has gone forth out of his place, to make the land desolate; and the cities shall be destroyed, so as to be without inhabitant.
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 these things gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, and howl: for the anger of the Lord is not turned away from you.
यही कारणले गर्दा, आफैलाई भाङ्ग्राले बेर, विलाप गर र रोओ । किनकि परमप्रभुको रिसको शक्ति हामीबाट तर्केर गएको छैन ।
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be amazed, and the prophets shall wonder.
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “त्यस दिन राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका हृदय काम्नेछन् । पुजारीहरू भयभीत हुनेछन्, र अगमवक्ताहरू त्रसित हुनेछन् ।”
10 And I said, O sovereign Lord, verily you have deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, There shall be peace; whereas behold, the sword has reached even to their 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 they shall say to this people and to Jerusalem, [There is] a spirit of error in the wilderness: the way of the daughter of my people is not to purity, nor to holiness.
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 [But] a spirit of full vengeance shall come upon me; and now I declare my judgements against them.
मेरो आज्ञामा त्योभन्दा अझै प्रचण्ड बतास आउनेछ, र अब म तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दण्डाज्ञा ल्याउनेछु ।
13 Behold, he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are in misery.
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 Cleanse your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that you may be saved: how long will your grievous thoughts be within 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 of one publishing from Dan shall come, and trouble out of mount Ephraim shall be heard of.
दानबाट एउटा आवाजले खबर ल्याउँदैछ, र एफ्राइमका पर्वतहरूबाट आउँदो विपत्ति सुनिंदैछ ।
16 Remind you the nations; behold, they are come: proclaim [it] in Jerusalem, that bands are approaching from a land afar off, and have uttered their voice against the cities of Juda.
जाति-जातिहरूलाई यस विषयमा सोच्न लगाः हेर्, यहूदाका सहरहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धको हल्ला मच्चाउन टाढाको देशबाट घेरा हाल्नेहरू आउँदैछन् भनी यरूशलेमलाई सुचना गर् ।
17 As keepers of a field, they have surrounded her; because you, says the Lord, has neglected me.
तिनीहरू खनजोत गरिएको बारीको चारैतिर रुँग्नेहरूजस्तै हुनेछन्, किनकि त्यो मेरो विरुद्धमा बागी भएको छ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो,
18 Your ways and your devices have brought these things upon you; this is your wickedness, for [it is] bitter, for it has reached to 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 I am pained in my bowels, my bowels, and the sensitive powers of my heart; my soul is in great commotion, my heart is torn: I will not be silent, for my soul has heard the sound of a trumpet, the cry of war, and of distress: it calls on destruction;
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 for all the land is distressed: suddenly [my] tabernacle is distressed, my curtains have been tore asunder.
विपत्तिपछि विपत्ति आउनेछ । किनकि सारा देश भग्नावशेष हुन्छ । अकस्मात् मेरा पालहरू अनि मेरा पर्दाहरू एकै क्षणमा नष्ट पारिए ।
21 How long shall I see fugitives, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
मैले कहिलेसम्म शत्रुको यद्धको झण्डा हेर्ने? के मैले तुरहीको आवाजलाई सुन्नेछु?
22 For the princes of my people have not known me, they are foolish and unwise children: they are wise to do evil, but [how] to do good they have not known.
मेरो जातिको मूर्खताको कारणले तिनीहरूले मलाई चिन्दैनन् । तिनीहरू निर्बुद्धी मानिसहरू हुन्, र तिनीहरूको समझशक्ति छैन । तिनीहरूमा दुष्ट्याइँको सिप छ, तर भलाइ गर्न जान्दैनन् ।
23 I looked upon the earth, and, behold, [it was] not; and to the sky, an there was no light in it.
मैले देशलाई हेरें। हेर, यो आकारहीन र शून्य थियो । किनकि आकाशमण्डलको लागि कुनै ज्योति थिएन ।
24 I saw the mountains, and they trembled, and [I saw] all the hills in commotion.
मैले पर्वतहरूलाई हेरें । हेर्, ती थरथर काँप्दै थिए, र सबै डाँडा यताउता हल्लिरहेका थिए ।
25 I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were scared.
मैले हेरें । हेर्, त्यहाँ कोही थिएन, र आकाशका सबै चरा उडेर भागेका थिए ।
26 I saw, and, behold, Carmel was desert, and all the cities were burnt with fire at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his fierce anger they were utterly destroyed.
मैले हेरें । परमप्रभुको सामु, उहाँको भयानक क्रोधको सामु बगैँचा मरुभूमि भएको थियो, र सबै सहरहरू ध्वस्त भएका थिए ।
27 Thus says the Lord, The whole land shall be desolate; but I will not make a full end.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “सारा देश ध्वस्त हुनेछ, तर म यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पार्दिनँ ।
28 For these things let the earth mourn, and let the sky be dark above: for I have spoken, and I will not repent; I have purposed, and I will not turn back from it.
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 The whole land has recoiled from the noise of the horseman and the bent bow; they have gone into the caves, and have hidden themselves in the groves, and have gone up upon the rocks: every city was abandoned, no man lived 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 what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, and adorn yourself with golden ornaments; though you adorn your eyes with stibium, your beauty [will be] in vain: your lovers have rejected you, they seek 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 For I have heard your groaning as the voice of a woman in travail, as of her that brings forth her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion shall fail through weakness, and she shall lose the strength of her hands, [saying], Woe is me! for my soul faints because of the slain.
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 ।”
