Jeremiah 45

1 After Jehoiakim the son of King Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, [I, ] Baruch, wrote down [all] the messages that the prophet Jeremiah had dictated to me. Then Jeremiah gave me a message. He said,

यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले नेरियाहका छोरा बारूकलाई भनेका वचन यही हो । यर्मियाको आवज सुनेर तिनले यी वचन एउटा मुट्ठोमा लेखे— यो यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको चौथो वर्ष थियो र तिनले भने,

2 “Baruch, Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], has a message for you.

“बारूक, परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीलाई यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः

3 You have said, ‘Terrible things [are happening] to me! I have endured much pain already. And now Yahweh is causing me to be very sad, in addition to my having pain. I am exhausted from my (groaning/being sad), and I am unable to rest!’

तैंले भनिस्, 'धिक्‍कार छ मलाई! किनकि परमप्रभुले मलाई पीडामा वेदना थप्‍नुभएको छ । मेरो सुस्केराले मलाई थकाएको छ । मैले विश्राम पाइन ।'

4 But [Baruch], this is what Yahweh says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I established. [This nation is like a tree] [MET] that I planted and that I will now pull up with its roots.

तैंले उसलाई यसो भन्‍नुपर्छ, ‘परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः हेर, जे मैले बनाएँ, त्‍यो म अब भत्काउँदैछु । जे मैले रोपेँ, त्‍यो अहिले म उखेल्दैछु— सारा पृथ्वीभरि नै म यसै गर्नेछु ।

5 So, should you [RHQ] desire that people do things to honor you in a special way? Do not desire that. [It is true that] I will cause all these people to experience a great disaster, but wherever you go, I will protect you, and you will not be killed.’”

तर के तँचाहिं आफ्नै निम्ति ठुला-ठुला कुराहरूको आशा गर्छस्? त्यसको आशा नगर् । किनकि हेर्, सारा मानव-जातिमाथि विपत्ति आउँदैछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— तर तँ जहाँ जानेछस्, त्यहाँ म तेरो जीवन तेरो लुटको रूपमा तँलाई नै दिनेछु' ।”
