Jeremiah 19
1 Thus saith Yhwh, Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
परमप्रभुले यसो भन्नुभयो, “जा र तँ मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरूसित हुँदा कुमालेको माटोको भाँडो किन् ।
2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
त्यसपछि बेन-हिन्नोमको बेँसीमा भएको फुटेको भाँडाको ढोकामा जा र मैले तँलाई बताउने वचनहरू त्यहाँ घोषणा गर ।
3 And say, Hear ye the word of Yhwh, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
यसो भन्, 'हे यहूदाका राजाहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, मैले यस ठाउँमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनै लागेको छु, र यस विषयमा सुन्ने हरेकको कान झनझनाउने छ ।
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागेका र यस ठाउँलाई अपवित्र तुल्याका हुनाले म यसो गर्ने छु । यही ठाउँमा आफूले नचिनेका अन्य देवताहरूलाई तिनीहरूले बलिदान चढाउँछन् । तिनीहरू, तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू र यहूदाका राजाहरूले यही ठाउँमा निर्दोष रगत पनि बगाएका छन् ।
5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
आफ्ना छोराहरू बाल देवतालाई आगोमा होमबलिको रूपमा चढाउन तिनीहरूले त्यसका अग्ला ठाउँहरू बनाए, यस्तो कुनै कुरो जुन मैले आज्ञा गरिनँ वा बताइनँ न त मेरो मनमा नै थियो ।
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
त्यसकारण, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर्, त्यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, त्यति बेला यस ठाउँलाई तोपेत अर्थात् बेन-हिन्नोमको बेँसी भनिनेछैन, तर हत्याको बेँसी भनिनेछ ।
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
यही ठाउँमा म यहूदा र यरूशलेमका योजनाहरूलाई बेकम्मा तुल्याउनेछु । म तिनीहरूका आफ्ना शत्रुको तरवार र तिनीहरूको ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूको हातद्वारा नष्ट गर्नेछु । त्यसपछि म तिनीहरूका लाशहरू आकाशका चराहरू र जमिनका जनावरहरूलाई आहाराको रूपमा दिनेछु ।
8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
अनि म यस सहरलाई भग्नावशेष र गिल्लाको वस्तु बनाउनेछु, किनकि यसबाट भएर जाने हरेकले यी सबै विपत्ति देखेर डराउनेछ र गिल्ला गर्नेछ ।
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै छोराछोरीको मासु खाने म बनाउनेछु । तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरू र तिनीहरूको ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूद्वारा ल्याइएको घेराबन्दी र सङ्कष्टमा हरेक मानिसले आफ्नै छिमेकीको मासु खानेछ ।”
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
“तब तँसगै गएका मानिसहरूका आँखाकै सामु तैंले त्यो माटोको भाँडा फुटाइदे ।
11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
तैंले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः जसरी यो माटोको भाँडो फेरि मर्मत हुनै नसक्ने गरी यर्मियाले फुटाएको छ, त्यसरी नै म यी मानिस र यस सहरलाई गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । अरू बढी लासहरू गाड्ने ठाउँ नभएसम्म नै मानिसहरूले तोपेतमा लासहरू गाड्नेछन् ।
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith Yhwh, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
मैले यो सहरलाई तोपेतजस्तै बनाउँदा यो ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दालाई म यसै गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो,
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
यसरी, यरूशलेमका घरानाहरू र यहूदाका राजाहरू, ती सबै घर जसका कौसीहरूमा अशुद्ध मानिसहरूले आकाशमण्डलका सबै ताराहरूको पुजा गरे र अरू देवताहरूलाई अर्घबलि चढाए, तिनीहरू तोपेतजस्तै हुनेछन्' ।”
14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither Yhwh had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Yhwh's house; and said to all the people,
तब यर्मिया तोपेतबाट गए, जहाँ अगमवाणी बोल्न परमप्रभुले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएको थियो । तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको चोकमा खडा भए र तिनले सबै मानिसलाई भने,
15 Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
“सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, मैले यो सहर र यसका सबै नगरहरूको विरुद्धमा घोषणा गरेका सबै विपत्ति ल्याउनै लागेकोछु, किनकि तिनीहरू अटेरी भए र मेरा वचन सुन्न इन्कार गरे' ।”
