< Jeremiah 22 >

1 Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यहूदाको राजाको घरमा तल जा र त्यहाँ यो वचन घोषणा गर्,
2 Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”
यसो भन, 'ए यहूदाका राजा, तँ जो दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍छस्, तँ र तेरा सेवकहरू र यी ढोकाहरूद्वारा आउने तेरा मानिसहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
3 Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राख, अनि लुटिएको कुनै व्यक्तिलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेको हातबाट छुटकारा देओ । तिमीहरूको देशमा भएका कुनै पनि विदेशी वा अनाथ वा विधवालाई दुर्व्यवहार नगर । यस ठाउँमा हिंसा नगर वा निर्दोष रगत नबगाओ ।
4 For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
तिमीहरूले साँच्‍चै यी कुरा गर्‍यौ भने, दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍ने राजाहरू, रथ र घोडाहरूमा सवार ऊ, उसका सेवकहरू र उसका मानिसहरू यी ढोकाहरूभित्र यो मन्‍दिरमा पस्‍नेछन् ।
5 And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
तर मैले घोषणा गरेका यी वचन तिमीहरूले सुन्‍दैनौ भने—यो राजदरबार भग्‍नावशेष हुनेछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो' ।”
6 For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
किनकि यहूदाका राजाको घरानाको बारेमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तँ मेरो लागि गिलाद वा लेबनानको टाकुराजस्तै छस् । तापनि म तँलाई उजाड-स्थान, मानिसहरू नबस्‍ने सहरहरूजस्तै तुल्याउनेछु ।
7 And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”
किनकि तेरो विरुद्धमा आउनलाई मैले विनाशकहरू तोकेको छु । मानिसहरूले आ-आफ्ना हतियारहरूले सबैभन्दा राम्रा-राम्रा देवदारुहरू काट्नेछन् र तिनलाई आगोमा जलाउने छन् ।
8 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
तब धेरै जातिहरू त्यस सहर भएर जानेछन् । एउटाले अर्कोलाई सोध्‍ने छ, 'यस महान् सहरप्रति परमप्रभुले किन यसरी व्यवहार गर्नुभएको होला?'
9 And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”
तब अर्कोले जवाफ दिनेछ, 'किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरको करारलाई त्यागे र अरू देवताहरूको सामु निहुरे र तिनीहरूको पुजा गरे ।”
10 You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
मृत्‍यु भएको व्यक्तिको निम्‍ति नरोओ वा त्यसको निम्तो शोक गर, तर टाढा लगिन लागेको व्यक्तिप्रति धुरुधुरु रोओ, किनकि त्यो फेरि कहिल्यै फर्किने अनि आफ्नो जन्मभूमि देख्‍नेछैन ।'
11 For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
किनकि यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाज जसले आफ्ना पिता योशियाहको सट्टामा राजा भई सेवा गरे, तिनको बारेमा परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'ऊ यस ठाउँबाट गएको छ, र फर्केर आउनेछैन ।
12 For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
जहाँ तिनीहरूले उसलाई कैद गरेर लगेका छन्, ऊ त्यहीं मर्नेछ, र उसले फेरि कहिल्यै यो देश देख्‍नेछैन ।'
13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
जसले आफ्नो घर अधार्मिकता, आफ्ना माथिल्ला कोठाहरू अन्यायले बनाउँछ, जसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई सित्तैमा काम लगाउँछ, अनि जसले उसलाई ज्याला दिंदैन, त्‍यसलाई धिक्‍कार छ ।
14 Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
उसले भन्छ, 'आफ्नो निम्ति माथिल्ला कोठाहरू फराकिलो भएको एउटा ठुलो महल म बनाउनेछु ।' त्यसले उसले त्‍यसको निम्‍ति ठुला-ठुला झ्यालहरू बनाउँछ र त्‍यसमा देवदारुका पल्लाहरू हाल्‍छ अनि उसले त्‍यसमा रातो रङ लगाऊँछ ।
15 Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
के यही कुराले तँलाई असल राजा बनाउँछन्, कि तैंले देवदारुका फल्याकहरू पाउने इच्‍छा गरिस्? तेरा बाबुले पनि खाए र पिए, तापनि न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राखे, होइन र? त्यसको लागि असल कुराहरू नै भए ।
16 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
उसले गरिबहरू र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूको पक्षमा न्याय गर्‍यो । त्यस बेला राम्रै भएको थियो । के मलाई चिन्‍नुको अर्थ यही होइन र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
17 “But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
तर तेरो दृष्‍टि र हृदयमा बेइमान नाफा कमाउनु, निर्दोषहरूको रगत बगाउनु, अरूहरूलाई थिचोमिचो र अत्याचार गरेर कमाउनुबाहेक अरू केही छैन ।
18 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
त्यसकारण यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको विषयमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः 'हाय, मेरा दाजु! हाय मेरी बहिनी!' भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यसको लागि विलाप गर्नेछैनन् । 'हाय, मेरा मालिक! हाय, उहाँको गौरव!' भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यसको लागि विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
19 He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
त्यसलाई एउटा गधालाई गाडेझैं घिसारेर टाढा लगिन्‍छ र यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूको बाहिर फ्याँकिनेछ ।
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.
लेबनानका पहाडहरूमा उक्लेर जा र चर्को गरी करा । बाशानमा तेरो सोर निकाल् । अबारीम पहाडहरूबट चर्को गरी करा, किनकि तेरा सबै मित्रहरू नष्‍ट गरिनेछन् ।
21 I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
तँ सुरक्षित हुँदा मैले तँसित बोलेँ, तर तैंले भनिस्, 'म सुन्‍ने छैनँ ।' तेरो युवावस्थादेखि यो तेरो चलन थियो, किनकि तैंले मेरो सोर सुनेको छैनस् ।
22 Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
बतासले तेरा सबै गोठालालाई उडाएर लैजानेछ, र तेरा मित्रहरू निर्वासनमा लगिनेछन् । तब तेरा सबै दुष्‍ट कामद्वारा तँ निश्‍चय नै लज्‍जित हुनेछस्, र अपमानित हुनेछस् ।
23 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
तँ जो 'लेबनान' मा बस्‍छस्, जुन देवदारुले बनेका घरहरू हुन्, प्रसव-वेदनमा भएकी स्‍त्रीलाई जस्तै तँमाथि पीडा आउँदा तँ कसरी तँमाथि दया गरिनेछ र ।”
24 “[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
“यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, जस्तो म जीवित छु, ए यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमको छोरो यहोयाकीन, तँ मेरो हातको छाप-औंठी होस्, म तँलाई धुजाधुजा पार्नेछु ।
25 And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
किनकि मैले तँलाई तेरो ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूको हातमा र जससँग तँ डराउँछस् तिनीहरूकै हातमा, बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर र कल्दीहरूको हातमा सुम्पिदिएको छु ।
26 And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
तँलाई र तँलाई जन्म दिने तेरी आमालाई म आर्को देशमा फल्‍नेछु, जुन देशमा तँ जन्‍मेको थिइनस् र त्यहाँ तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ ।
27 And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
यस देशको बारेमा जहाँ तिनीहरू फर्केर आउन इच्‍छा गर्नेछन्, तिनीहरू यहाँ फर्केर आउनेछैनन् ।
28 A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
के यो तिरस्कृत र टुक्रटुक्रा भएको भाँडो हो? के यो मानिस यहोयाकीन एउटा त्‍यस्‍तो भाँडो हो जसले कसैलाई खुसी पार्दैन? ऊ र उसका सन्तानहरूलाई किन तिनीहरूले बाहिर फालेका छन् र तिनीहरूले नचिनेका देशमा तिनीहरूलाई पठाएका छन्?
29 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
ए देश, ए देश, ए देश! परमप्रभुको वचन सुन् ।
30 Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'यो मानिस यहोयाकीनको बारेमा लेखः ऊ सन्तानहीन हुनेछ । उसको आफ्नो जीवनकालमा उसले उन्‍नति गर्नेछैन, र उसका सन्तानहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि सफलता हासिले गर्नेछैनन्, वा फेरि कहिल्यै दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍नेछन् र यहूदामाथि राज्‍य गर्नेछन् ।”
