Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith the Lord, shall they bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
“यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, त्यस बेला तिनीहरूले चिहानहरूबाट यहूदाका राजाहरू, यसका अधिकारीहरू, पुजारीहरू, अगमवक्ताहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूका हड्डीहरू निकाल्नेछन् ।
2 And they shall spread them out before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and to which they have prostrated themselves: they shall not be gathered up, and they shall not be buried; dung upon the face of the ground shall they become.
त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले सूर्य, चन्द्रमा र आकाशका सबै ताराको प्रकाशमा तिनलाई फैलाउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले आकाशका यी कुराहरूलाई पछ्याएका छन्, सेवा गरेका छन्, तिनको खोजी गरेका छन् र पुजा गरेका छन् । हड्डीहरू फेरि जम्मा गरिने र गाडिने छैनन् । ती जमिनको सतहमा मलझैं परिरहनेछन् ।
3 And death shall be preferable to life, for all the residue of those that are left of this evil family, who are left in all the places whither I shall have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.
हरेक बाँकी रहेको ठाउँ जहाँ मैले तनीहरूलाई धपाएको छु, त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति जीवनको साटो मृत्यु रोज्नेछन्, यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषण हो ।
4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Shall they fall, and not arise? will he turn away, and not return?
त्यसैले तिनीहरूलाई भन्, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'के कोही लडेर उठ्दैन र? के कोही हरायो भने त्यो फर्केर आउन खोज्दैन र?
5 Why then remaineth this people, Jerusalem, rebellious by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast on deceit, they refuse to return.
यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू किन स्थायी विश्वासहीनतामा तर्केर गएका छन् त? तिनीहरू विश्वासघातमा टाँसिरहन्छन्, र पश्चात्ताप गर्न इन्कार गर्छन् ।
6 I listened and heard, but they would not speak aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned again to his course, as the impetuous horse in the battle.
मैले ध्यान दिएँ, र सुनें, तर तिनीहरूले सही कुरा बोलेनन् । आफ्नो दुष्टताको लागि कोही पनि दुःखी भएन, 'मैले के गरेको छु?' भनेर सोध्ने कुनै व्यक्ति छैन । घोडा युद्धमा गएझैं तिनीहरू सबै आफूलाई इच्छा लागेको ठाउँमा जान्छन् ।
7 Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle, and the swallow, atad the crane observe the time of their coming home; but my people know not the ordinance of the Lord.
आकाशको सारस अनि ढुकुर, गौँथली र सारिका चरा पनि आफ्नो समय थाहा छ । तिनीहरू ठिक समयमा बसाइँ सर्छन्, तर मेरा मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुका आज्ञाहरू जान्दैनन् ।
8 How can ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Truly, behold in vain wrought the pen, in vain the writers.
'परमप्रभुको व्यवस्था हामीसित भएको हुनाले हामी बुद्धिमान छौं' भनी तिमीहरू कसरी भन्न सक्छौ? वास्तवमा, हेर, शास्त्रीहरूको छलपूर्ण कलमले धलको सृजना गरेको छ ।
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are discouraged and caught, lo, the word of the Lord have they rejected; and what wisdom have they [now]?
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू लज्जित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू हताश भएका छन् र पासोमा परेका छन् । हेर, तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन इन्कार गर्छन्, यसैले तिनीहरूको बुद्धिको के काम?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to conquerors; for from the least even unto the greatest, every one is seeking his own gain: from the prophet even unto the priest every one practiseth falsehood.
त्यसैले म तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरू अरूलाई दिनेछु, र तिनीहरूका खेतबारी अधिकार गर्नेहरूलाई म ति दिनेछु, किनकि सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै जना बेइमान आर्जनको लागि लोभी छन् । अगमवक्तादेखि पुजारीसम्म सबैले छलको अभ्यास गर्छन् ।
11 And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people very lightly, saying, Peace, peace: when there is no peace.
शान्ति नै नहुँदा पनि 'शान्ति, शान्ति' भनेर तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूको चोटलाई अलिअलि मात्र निको पारेका छन् ।
12 They should have been ashamed, because they had committed abomination; but they neither felt the least shame, nor did they know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among those that fall; at the time of their punishment shall they stumble, saith the Lord.
तिनीहरूले घृणित कामहरू गर्दा के तिनीहरू लज्जित भए? तिनीहरू लज्जित भएनन् । कसरी शर्म मान्ने भन्ने कुरा पनि तिनीहरूलाई थाहा भएन । त्यसैले पतन भएकाहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू पतन हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिइँदा तिनीहरू तल खसालिने छन्, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
13 I will surely make an end of them, saith the Lord: [there shall be left] no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall wither; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
म तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा हटाइदिने छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । दाखका बोटहरूमा दाख हुनेछैन, न त अञ्जीरका रुखहरूमा अञ्जीर हुनेछ । किनकि पात सुकेर जानेछ, र मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका कुरा हराएर जानेछ ।
14 “Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us poison-water to drink; because we have sinned against the Lord.
हामी किन यहाँ बसिरहेका छौं? सँगसँगै आओ । हामी किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरूमा जाऔं, र त्यहाँ हामी मरेर चुप बनौं । किनकि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई चुप पार्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले हामीलाई विष पिउन लगाउनुहुनेछ किनकि हामीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छौं ।
15 We hoped for peace, but no happiness is here; for a time of cure, and behold here is terror.”
हामी शान्तिको अपेक्षा गर्दैछौं, तर त्यहाँ कुनै असल कुरो हुनेछैन । हामी चङ्गाइको समयको आशा गर्दैछौं, तर त्यहाँ त्रास हुनेछ ।
16 From Dan was heard the snorting of his horses; at the sound of the neighing of his war-steeds trembleth the whole land: and they are come, and devour the land, and all that filleth it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
दानबाट त्यसका घोडाहरूको घ्वार-घ्वार आवाज सुनिन्छ । त्यसका शक्तिशाली घोडाहरूको हिनहिनाइको आवाजमा पुरै पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ । किनकि तिनीहरू आउनेछन् र यो देश र यसको सम्पत्ति, सहर र यसमा बस्नेहरूलाई स्वाहा पार्नेछन् ।
17 For, behold, I will send out against you serpents, basilisks, for which there is no charm, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
किनकि हेर, म तिमीहरूका बिचमा सर्पहरू, तिमीहरूका टुनामुनाले वशमा पार्न नसक्ने विषालु सर्पहरू पठाउँदैछु । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई डस्नेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
18 When I would cheer myself up against sorrow, my heart within me is pained.
मेरो शोकको कुनै अन्त छैन, र मेरो हृदय व्याकुल भएको छ ।
19 Behold [I hear] the voice of the complaint of the daughter of my people [coming] out of a far-off land: “Is the Lord not in Zion? is her king no more in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with the vanities of the stranger?”
हेर्नुहोस्, टाढाको देशमा भएका मेरो मानिसहरूको छोरीको क्रन्दन सुन्नुहोस् । के परमप्रभु सियोनमा हुनुहुन्न र? के त्यसका राजा अहिले त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्न र? त्यसो भए, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना खोपिएका मूर्तिहरू र बेकम्मा विदेशी देवताहरूले मलाई किन रिस उठाउँछन् त?
20 “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not yet helped.”
कटनीको समय बितेको छ, ग्रीष्म ऋतु पनि सकिएको छ । तरै पनि हामी बचाइएका छैनौं ।
21 Because of the breach of the daughter of my people am I broken: I am grieved; astonishment hath taken fast hold on me.
मेरा मानिसहरूको छोरीको चोटको कारणले मलाई मलाई चोट लागेको छ । त्यसलाई आइपरेका डरलाग्दा कुराहरूमा म शोक गर्छु । म लज्जित भएको छु ।
22 Is there no [more] balm in Gil'ad? or is no physician there? why then is there not placed a plaster [on the wound of] the daughter of my people?
के गिलादमा कुनै औषधी छैन? के त्यहाँ कुनै निको पार्न व्यक्ति छैन? मेरा मानिसहरूको छोरीको चोट किन निको भएको छैन त?
