Jeremias 9
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, [even] for the slain of the daughter of my people.
मेरो शिरले पानी उत्पादन गर्न सके हुन्थ्यो र मेरा आँखा आँसुको फुहारा भए हुन्थ्यो! किनकि मेरा मानिसहरूका छोरीको बिचमा मारिएकाहरूका निम्ति म दिनरात रुने इच्छा गर्छु ।
2 Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men.
उजाड-स्थानमा यात्रुहरू बस्नका निम्ति कसैले मलाई एउटा ठाउँ दिए हुन्थ्यो, म आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई त्याग्न त्यहाँ जान सक्थे । तिनीहरूलाई मैले छोड्न सके हुन्थ्यो, किनकि सबै व्यभिचारी, विश्वासघातीको जमात हुन्!
3 And they have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, says the Lord.
परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “आफ्ना झूटका धनुहरूलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्ना जिब्राले दबाउँछन्, तर तिनीहरूको विश्वसनीयताको कारणले तिनीहरू पृथ्वीमा बलिया भएर बढ्ने होइनन् । तिनीहरू एउटा दुष्ट कामदेखि अर्को दुष्ट काम गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई चिन्दैनन् ।”
4 Beware you each of his neighbour, and trust you not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily.
तिमीकरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो छिमेकीदेखि होसियार बस, र आफ्नो कुनै भाइमाथि भरोसा नगर । किनकि हरेक भाइ निश्चय नै छली हो, र हरेक छिमेकी बदख्याइँ गर्दै हिंड्छ ।
5 Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learnt to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीको ठट्टा गर्छ, र साँचो बोल्दैन । तिनीहरूका जिब्राले छली कुराहरू सिकाउँछन् । तिनीहरू अपराध गर्दा-गर्दा थाकेका छन् ।
6 [There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, says the Lord.
तेरो बासस्थान छलको बिचमा छ । आफ्नो छलमा तिनीहरूले मलाई इन्कार गर्छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
7 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do [thus] because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले तिनीहरूलाई खार्न र जाँच्न लागेको छु, किनकि मेरा मानिसहरूले जे गरेका छन्, त्यसको लागि म अरू के गर्न सक्छु र?
8 Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbour, but in himself retains enmity.
तिनीहरूका जिब्रा तिखा काँडहरू हुन् । तिनले विश्वास गर्न नसकिने कुराहरू बोल्छन् । आफ्ना मुखले आफ्ना छिमेकीहरूसित शान्तिको घोषणा तिनीहरूले गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूका हृदयले चाहिं तिनीहरूलाई ढुकेर बस्छन् ।
9 Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this?
के यी कुराको काणले मैले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड नदिने? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, र के यस्तो जातिलाई म आफैले बदला नलिने त?
10 Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone.
म शोकको गीत गाउनेछु, र पहाडहरूका निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछु, र खर्कहरूका निम्ति मृत्यु संस्कारको गीत गाइनेछ । किनकि ती जलाइएका छन्, यसैले कोही पनि त्यसबाट जान सक्दैन । तिनीहरूले कुनै पनि गाईवस्तुको आवाज सुन्नेछैनन् । आकाशका चराहरू र पशुहरू सबै भागेर गएका छन् ।
11 And I will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited.
त्यसैले म यरूशलेमलाई भत्केको थुप्रो, स्यालहरूको लुक्ने ठाउँ तुल्याउनेछु । म यहूदाका सहरहरूलाई मानिसहरू नबस्ने गरी उजाड तुल्याउनेछु ।”
12 Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord [addressed] to him, let him tell you therefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it.
यसलाई बुझ्न कुनचाहिं मानिस साँच्चै बुद्धिमानी छ? कसलाई परमप्रभुको मुखले बोल्नुभएको छ, र त्यसले यो घोषणा गर्नेछ? यो देश किन नष्ट पारिएको छ र उजाड-स्थानजस्तै विनाश गरिएको छ जसबाट कोही पनि जान सक्दैन?
13 And the Lord said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not listened to my voice;
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले तिनीहरूका सामु राखेको मेरो व्यवस्थालाई तिनीहरूले त्यागेका हुनाले, तिनीहरूले मेरो आवाज सुनेर त्यसद्वारा नहिंडेका हुनाले यस्तो भएको हो ।
14 but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]:
तिनीहरू आ-आफ्ना हठी हृदयद्वारा हिंडेका हुनाले र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले सिकाएझैं गरी तिनीहरूले बाल देवताहरूको अनुसरण गरेको हुनाले यस्तो भएको हो ।
15 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall:
त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हर, मैले यो जातिलाई ऐरेलु खुवाउन र विषालु पानी पियाउन लागेको छु ।
16 and I will scatter them amongst the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it.
त्यसपछि म तिनीहरूलाई जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पार्ने छु, जसलाई न तिनीहरूले न त तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले चिनेका छन् । मैल तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट नपारेसम्म म तिनीहरूको पछि तरवार पठाउनेछु ।”
17 Thus says the Lord, Call you the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice;
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “यस विषयमा विचार गरः मृत्यु संस्कारका गीत गाउनेहरूलाई बोलाओ । तिनीहरू आऊन् । विलाप गर्न सिपालु स्त्रीहरूलाई बोलाउन पठाओ । तिनीहरू आऊन् ।
18 and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water.
तिनीहरू हतार गरून्, र हाम्रा लागि शोकको गीत गाऊन्, ताकि हाम्रा आँखाबाट आँसु बगून् र हाम्रा परेलाबाट पानी बगून् ।
19 For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles!
किनकि सियोनमा विलापको सोर सुनिएको छ, 'हामी कसरी तहस-नहत भएका छौं । हामी ज्यादै लज्जित भएका छौं । तिनीहरूले हाम्रा घरहरू भत्काएको समयदेखि नै हामीले यो देश त्यागेका छौं ।'
20 Hear now, you women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and [every] woman her neighbour a dirge.
त्यसैले हे स्त्रीहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । उहाँको मुखबाट निस्कने सन्देशमा ध्यान देओ । तब आ-आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई शोकको गीत र हरेक छिमेकी स्त्रीलाई मृत्यु संस्कारको गीत सिकाओ ।
21 For death has come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets.
किनकि मृत्यु हाम्रा झ्यालबाट आएको छ । यो हाम्रा राजमहलहरूमा जान्छ । यसले बाहिरका बालबालिका र सहरका चोकहरूका युवाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्छ ।
22 And the carcases of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to gather [them].
यसो भन, “यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मानिसहरूका लाशहरू खेतबारीका मलझैं र बाली काट्नेहरूले छाडेका सिलाबालाझैं छोडिनेछन्, र ति जम्मा गर्ने कोही हुनेछैन ।”
23 Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “बुद्धिमान् मानिसले आफ्नो बुद्धिमा वा योद्धाले आफ्नो शक्तिमा घमण्ड गर्न नदेओ । धनी मानिसले आफ्ना धनमा घमण्ड गर्न नदेओ ।
24 but let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgement, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, says the Lord.
किनकि कुनै मानिसले कुनै कुरामा घमण्ड गर्छ भने, त्यसले यस कुरामा गरोस् कि उसित अन्तर्दृष्टि छ र मलाई चिन्छ । किनकि म परमप्रभु हुँ जसले पृथ्वीमा करारको बफादारी, न्याय र धार्मिकतामा काम गर्छु । किनकि यिनै कुरामा म प्रसन्न हुन्छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
25 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision;
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर, दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जति बेला म शरीरमा मात्र खतना भएकाहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
26 on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.
म मिश्र, यहूदा, एदोम, अम्मोन, मोआब र शिरमा आफ्नो कपाल छोटो गरी काट्ने सबै मानिसलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । किनकि यी सबै जाति बेखतनाका हुन्, र इस्राएलका सबै घरानासित बेखतनको हृदय छ ।”
