Jeremiah 44
1 The word which came to Jeremiah, against all the Jews who were dwelling in the land of Egypt, —who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros saying:
मिश्रदेश बसोबास गरेका, मिग्दोल, तहपनेस, नोप र माथिल्लो मिश्रमा बसिरहेका सबै यहूदीको विषयमा यो वचन यर्मियाकहाँ आयोः
2 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Ye yourselves, saw all the calamity which I brought in upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah, —and there they are, a desolation this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant:
“सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘यरूशलेम र यहूदाका सबै सहरमाथि मैले ल्याएका विपत्तिहरू तिमीहरू आफैले देखेका छौ । हेर, आज ती भग्नावशेष भएका छन् । तिनमा बस्ने कोही छैन ।
3 because of their wickedness which they committed, provoking me to anger, by going to burn incense, to serve other gods, whom they had not known, they, ye nor your fathers;
धुप बाल्न र अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गर्न गएर तिनीहरूले मलाई चोट पुर्याउनलाई गरेका तिनीहरूका दुष्ट कुराहरूले गर्दा यसो भएको हो । यी देवताहरूलाई न तिनीहरूले चिन्दथे, न तिमीहरू चिन्छौ, न त तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले चिन्दथे ।'
4 yet I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes sending them, saying, Do not, I pray you, commit this abominable thing, which I hate!
त्यसैले मैले बारम्बार मेरा दास अगमवक्ताहरूलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाएँ । मैले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्न पठाएँ, 'मैले घृणा गर्ने यी घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू गर्न छोड ।’
5 but they hearkened not neither inclined their ear, by turning from their wickedness, —so as not to burn incense to other gods.
तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । अरू देवताहरूलाई धुप बाल्ने तिनीहरूको दुष्टताबाट ध्यान हटाउने वा फर्कने कुरालाई तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरे ।
6 Therefore were mine indignation and mine anger poured out, and a fire was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, —and they became waste and desolate, as at this day.
त्यसैले यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूमा मेरो रिस र क्रोध खन्याइयो, र आगो लगाइयो । ती उजाड र सर्वनाश भए, जस्तो आजको दिनसम्म छ ।'
7 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts God of Israel—Wherefore, are ye committing a great wickedness against your own lives, that ye should cut off from you man and woman child and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, —so that there should not be left you a remnant:
त्यसैले अब परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर, इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'आफ्नै विरुद्धमा तिमीहरू किन ठुला-ठुला दुष्ट काम गर्दैछौ? यहूदाका पुरुषहरू, स्त्रीहरू, बालबालिका तथा दूधे बालकहरूबाट किन आफै बहिष्कृत हुँदैछौ? तिमीहरूका कोही पनि बाँकी छाडिनेछैनौ ।
8 in that ye provoke me to anger by the works of your own hands, burning incense to other gods, in the land of Egypt, which ye have been entering to sojourn, —that ye should cut them off from you, and that ye should become a contempt and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
तिमीहरूका हातका कामहरूद्वारा, तिमीहरू बस्न गएका मिश्रदेशमा अरू देवताहरूलाई धुप बालेर तिमीहरूका हातले गरेका कामका दुष्टता तिमीहरूले मलाई चोट पुर्याएका छौ । तिमीहरू नष्ट गरिन र पृथ्वीका सबै जातिका बिचमा सराप र निन्दाको पात्र बन्न तिमीहरू त्यहाँ गएका छौ ।
9 Have ye forgotten the wicked ways of your fathers and the wicked ways of the kings of Judah, and the wicked ways of his wives, and your own wicked ways, and the wicked ways of your own wives, —which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरू अनि यहूदाका राजाहरू र तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरूले गरेका दुष्टतालाई के तिमीहरूले बिर्सेका छौ? यहूदा देशमा र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूमा तिमीहरू आफै र तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरूले गरेका दुष्ट कामलाई के तिमीहरूले बिर्सेका छौ?
10 They have not been crushed, unto this day; neither have they been afraid, neither have they walked in my law, and in my statutes, which I set before you and before your fathers,
आजको दिनसम्म पनि तिनीहरू नम्र भएका छैनन् । मैले तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका सामु राखेको मेरा व्यवस्था वा विधानहरूलाई तिनीहरूले आदर गर्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरू तीअनुसार हिंड्छन् ।'
11 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Behold me! setting my face against you for calamity, —even to cut off all Judah;
त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, तिमीहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउन र सारा यहूदालाई नष्ट गर्न मैले आफ्नो अनुहारलाई तिमीहरूबाट हटाउनै लागेको छु ।
12 and I will take the remnant of Judah who did set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, in the land of Egypt, shall they fall by the sword, by famine, shall they be consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine, shall they die, —so shall they become a curse, and an astonishment, and a contempt and a reproach;
किनकि मिश्रदेशमा बस्न जाने निधो गरेका यहूदाका बाँकी रहेकाहरूलाई म नष्ट पार्नेछु । तिनीहरू सबै मिश्रदेशमा नष्ट होऊन् भनेर म यसो गर्नेछु । तिनीहरू सबै तरवार र अनिकालले ढल्नेछन् । सानादेखि ठुलासम्म तिनीहरू तरवार र अनिकालले नष्ट हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू मर्नेछन्, अनि कसम, सराप, निन्दा र घृणाका पात्र बन्नेछन् ।
13 and I will bring punishment upon them who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, just as I brought punishment upon Jerusalem, —by sword, by famine and by pestilence;
जसरी मैले यरूशलेमलाई तरवार, अनिकाल र विपत्तिले दण्ड दिएँ, त्यसै गरी मिश्रदेशमा बसेका मानिसहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु,
14 and there shall be neither escape nor survival, unto the remnant of Judah who have been entering, to sojourn there into the land of Egypt, —that they should return to the land of Judah even when they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there, for none shall return, saving fugitives.
जसको कारणले मिश्रदेशमा बस्न गएका यहूदाका बाँकी रहेकाहरूमध्ये कोही पनि उम्कने वा बाँच्ने वा यहूदामा फर्कनेछैन, जहाँ फर्केर जाने र बस्ने तिनीहरूको इच्छा छ । अनि त्यहाँबाट भागेका थोरैबाहेक अरू कोही फर्कनेछैन' ।”
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by, a great convocation, —with all the people who were dwelling in the land of Egypt in Pathros, made answer unto Jeremiah, saying:
तब आफ्ना पत्नीहरूले अरू देवताहरूलाई धुप बाल्दैथिए भनी थाहा पाएका त्यस ठुलो सभाका सबै मानिस र उक्त सभामा भएका सबै स्त्री अनि तल्लो र माथिल्लो मिश्रमा बस्ने सबै यहूदीले यर्मियालाई जवाफ दिए,
16 As touching the word which thou hast spoken unto us, in the name of Yahweh we are not going to hearken unto thee;
तिनीहरूले भने, “परमप्रभुको नाउँमा तिमीले हामीलाई भनेका वचनका तिम्रा कुरा हामी सुन्नेछैनौं ।
17 but, we will certainly do, the whole thing that hath gone forth out of our own mouth, by burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink-offerings, just as we and our fathers, and our kings and our princes, did, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, then were we filled with bread and became prosperous, and calamity, saw we none;
किनकि हामीले गर्नेछौं भनेका सबै कुरा हामी निश्चय नै गर्नेछौं, अर्थात् स्वर्गकी रानीलाई धुप बाल्नेछौं, अनि यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूमा हामी, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू, हाम्रा राजाहरू र हाम्रा अगुवाहरूले गरेझैं हामी तिनको निम्ति अर्घबलिहरू खन्याउनेछौं । तब हामी भोजनले भिपूर्ण हुनेछौं, र कुनै विपत्तिविना हाम्रो उन्नति हुनेछ ।
18 whereas, from the very time we ceased burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, we have lacked everything, —and by sword and by famine, have we been consumed.
हामीले स्वर्गकी रानीलाई धुप बाल्न र उनलाई अर्घबलिहरू खन्याउन छोड्दा हामी सबै जनाले गरिबी भोग्दै थियौँ अनि हामी तरवार र अनिकालले मर्दै थियौँ ।”
19 And, though we are burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, is it, without our men that we have made to her sacrificial cakes as images of her and poured out to her, drink-offerings?
स्त्रीहरूले भने, “हामीले स्वर्गकी रानीको सामु धुप बाल्दा र उनलाई अर्घबलिहरू खन्याउँदा, उनको प्रतिरूपका फुरौलाहरू बनाउँदा र उनलाई अर्घबलिहरू चढाउँदा के हामीले आफ्ना पतिहरूले भनेको नमानेर यी कुराहरू गर्यौँ र?”
20 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the people, —against the men and against the women, and against all the people who had been making any answer unto him, saying:
तब यर्मियाले सबै मानिस अर्थात् पुरुषहरू र स्त्रीहरू अनि तिनलाई जवाफ दिने सबै मानिसहरूलाई तिनले घोषणा गरे र भने,
21 Was it not, the very incense which ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers your kings and your princes and the people of the land, was it not those very things, that Yahweh did remember, and that came up on his heart;
“के तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरू, तिमीहरूका राजाहरू, अगुवाहरू र देशका मानिसहरूले यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूमा चढाएका धुपलाई परमप्रभुले सम्झनुभएन र? किनकि परमप्रभुले यो सम्झनुहुन्छ । यो उहाँको विचारमा आउँछ ।
22 so that Yahweh could no longer forbear because of the wickedness of your doings, because of the abominations which ye committed, —and your land became a desolation, and an astonishment, and a contempt without inhabitant—as at this day?
तब तिमीहरूका दुष्ट अभ्यासहरूका कारणले र तिमीहरूले गरेका घिनलाग्दा कुराहरूको कारणले उहाँले यसलाई सहन सक्नुभएन । तब तिमीहरूको देश उजाड, त्रास र सराप बन्यो, यसैले आजको दिनसम्म त्यहाँ एक जना बासिन्दा छैन ।
23 Because that ye burned incense, and that ye sinned against Yahweh and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, and, in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies, did not walk, for this cause, did this calamity befall you—as at this day.
तिमीहरूले धुप बालेका र परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको कारणले अनि तिमीहरूले उहाँको स्वोर, उहाँको व्यवस्था, उहाँका विधानहरू वा उहाँका करारका आदेशहरू पालन नगरेको कारणले तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा यो विपत्ति आएको हो, जस्तो आजको दिनसम्म छ ।”
24 And Jeremiah said unto all the people, and unto all the women, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are in the land of Egypt, —
तब यर्मियाले सबै मानिस र सबै स्त्रीलाई भने, “हे मिश्रदेशमा भएका यहूदाका सबै मानिस हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
25 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives, have both spoken with your mouth and with your hands, have ye fulfilled saying, We will, certainly perform, our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her drink-offerings: the women will certainly confirm, your vows, and, certainly perform, your vows.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः 'स्वर्गकी रानीलाई पुजा गर्न र उनलाई अर्घबलिहरू चढाउन हामीले खाएका भाकलहरूलाई हामी निश्चय नै पुरा गर्नेछौं' भनी तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू दुवैले तिमीहरूका मुखले भनेका थियौ र तिमीहरूले आफ्ना हातले पुरा गरेका छौ । अब तिमीहरूका भाकलहरू पुरा गर । तिनलाई निरन्तर गर ।’
26 Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, —Behold me! I have sworn by my great Name, Saith Yahweh, That my Name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah saying—By the life of My Lord, Yahweh in all the land of Egypt.
त्यसैले मिश्रदेशमा बस्ने सारा यहूदा हो, परमप्रभुको यो वचन सुन ‘हेर, मेरो महान् नाउँद्वारा मैले शपथ खाएको छु, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ । सारा मिश्र देशमा भएका यहूदाका मानिसको मुखले अहिले, 'जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा' भनेरझैं फेरि मेरो नाउँ कहिलै पनि पुकार्नेछैनन् ।”
27 Behold me! watching over them for calamity, and not for blessing, —so shall all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt, be consumed, by sword and by famine until there be an end of them.
हेर, मैले तिनीहरूलाई भलाइको निम्ति होइन, विपत्तिको निम्ति हेर्दैछु । मिश्रदेशमा भएको यहूदाको हरेक व्यक्ति सखाप नभएसम्म तिनीहरू तरवार र अनिकालले नष्ट हुनेछ ।
28 Yet, the fugitives of the sword, shall certainly return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah men easily counted, —that all the remnant of Judah who are entering Egypt to sojourn there, may know, whose word, shall stand, mine or theirs!
तब तरवारबाट बाँचेकामध्येका थोरै सङ्ख्या मात्र तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशबाट यहूदाको देशमा फर्कनेछन् । तब तिनीहरूको कि मेरो कसको वचन सत्य ठहर्दोरहेछ भनी मिश्रदेशमा बस्न गएका यहूदाका बाँकी भएकाहरूले जान्नेछन् ।
29 And, this, to you, shall be the sign, Declareth Yahweh, that I am about to bring punishment upon you in this place, —that ye may know that my words shall, certainly stand against you, for calamity:
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा मैले तिमीहरूलाई यो ठाउँमा दिने चिन्हचाहिं यो हुनेछ, यसैले कि मेरो वचनले निश्चय पनि तिमीहरूलाई विपत्तिले आक्रमण गर्नेछ भनी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा होस् ।
30 Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! delivering up Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, yea into the hand of them who are seeking his life, —just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his enemy, and one seeking his life.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, मिश्रको राजा फारो होप्रालाई त्यसका शत्रुहरू र त्यसको ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूको हातमा मैले सुम्पिदिनै लागेको छु । यहूदाका राजा सिदकियालाई मैले त्यसको ज्यान लिन खोज्ने शत्रु बेबिलोनको राजा नबूकदनेसरको हातमा सुम्पेको जस्तै त्यो हुनेछ ।’”
