Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
बेन्यामीनको क्षेत्रमा पर्ने अनातोतका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एक जना हिल्कियाहका छोरा यर्मियाका वचन यिनै हुन् ।
2 To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
यहूदाका राजा अमोनका छोरा योशियाहको शासनकालको तेह्रौं वर्षमा परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो ।
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको समयदेखि यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको एघारौं वर्षको पाँचौं महिनासम्म, यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू कैदीका रूपमा नलगिएसम्म नै परमप्रभुको वचन आइरह्यो ।
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.
“मैले तँलाई गर्भमा रच्नुभन्दा पहिले, मैले तँलाई चुनें । तँ गर्भबाट बाहिर आउनुअगि मैले तँलाई अलग गरें । मैले तँलाई जाति-जातिहरूका निम्ति अगमवक्ता बनाएँ ।
6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
मैले भनें, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, कसरी बोल्ने भनी मलाई थाहा छैन, किनकि म त धेरै सानो बालक छु ।”
7 But the LORD said to me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all that I shall send you, and whatever I command you you shall speak.
तर परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यसो नभन्, 'म सानो बालक छु' । मैले पठाउने हरेक ठाउँमा तँ जानैपर्छ, र मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गर्ने हरेक कुरा तैंले भनैपर्छ ।
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.
तिनीहरूदेखि नडरा, किनकि तेरो उद्धार गर्न म तँसित छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
तब परमप्रभुले आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो, मेरो मुख छुनुभयो, र मलाई भन्नुभयो, “अब मैले तेरो मुखमा मेरो वचन हालिदिएको छु ।
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
उखेल्न र भत्काउन, नाश गर्न र भताभुङ्ग पार्न, बनाउन र रोप्न, आज मैले तँलाई जातिहरू र राज्यहरूमाथि नियुक्त गर्दैछु ।”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what see you? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
परमप्रभुको वचन मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “ए यर्मिया, तँ के देख्छस्?” मैले भनें, “हाडे-बदामको एउटा हाँगा म देख्छु ।”
12 Then said the LORD to me, You have well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैंले राम्ररी देखेको छस्, किनकि आफ्नो वचन पुरा गर्नलाई म त्यसलाई नियालेर हेर्दैछु ।”
13 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What see you? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
परमप्रभुको वचन दोस्रो पटक मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “तैंले के देख्छस्?” मैले भनें, “म एउटा तताइएको भाँडो देख्छु जसको माथिल्लो सतह छचल्किएर उत्तर दिशाबाट घोप्टिहरेको छ ।”
14 Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यस देशमा बस्ने सबैमाथि विपत्ति उत्तर दिशाबाट नै आउन सुरु हुनेछ ।
15 For, see, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
किनकि मैले उत्तरी राज्यहरूका सबै कुललाई बोलाउँदैछु भनी यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । तिनीहरू आउनेछन्, र यरूशलेमका मूल ढोकाहरूको प्रवेशद्वारमा आ-आफ्नो सिंहासन स्थापित गर्नेछन्, अनि तिनीहरू यसका चारैतिरका पर्खालहरू र यहूदाका सबै सहरको विरुद्धमा लाग्नेछन् ।
16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
अरू देवताहरूलाई धुप बालेर र तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हातले बनाएका वस्तुहरूलाई पुजा गरेर मलाई त्यागेका हुनाले तिनीहरूका सबै दुष्ट कामको विरुद्धमा म इन्साफ गर्नेछु ।
17 You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound you before them.
आफूलाई तयार पार! खडा हो, र मैले तँलाई जे आज्ञा गर्छु, त्यो तिनीहरूलाई भन् । तिनीहरूको सामु नडरा, अन्यथा तिनीहरूका सामु म तँलाई नै डरमा पार्नेछु ।
18 For, behold, I have made you this day a defended city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
हेर, सारा देश अर्थात् यहूदाका राजाहरू, यसका अधिकारीहरू, पुजारीहरू र देशका मानिसको विरुद्धमा आज मैले तँलाई एउटा किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहर, फलामे खम्बा र काँसाको पर्खाल बनाएको छु ।
19 And they shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you, says the LORD, to deliver you.
तिनीहरू तेरो विरुद्धमा लड्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले तँलाई पराजित गर्नेछैनन्, किनकि तेरो उद्धार गर्न म तँसितै हुनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
