Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
मेरो शिरले पानी उत्पादन गर्न सके हुन्थ्यो र मेरा आँखा आँसुको फुहारा भए हुन्थ्यो! किनकि मेरा मानिसहरूका छोरीको बिचमा मारिएकाहरूका निम्ति म दिनरात रुने इच्छा गर्छु ।
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
उजाड-स्थानमा यात्रुहरू बस्नका निम्ति कसैले मलाई एउटा ठाउँ दिए हुन्थ्यो, म आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई त्याग्न त्यहाँ जान सक्थे । तिनीहरूलाई मैले छोड्न सके हुन्थ्यो, किनकि सबै व्यभिचारी, विश्वासघातीको जमात हुन्!
3 “They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says the LORD.
परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “आफ्ना झूटका धनुहरूलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्ना जिब्राले दबाउँछन्, तर तिनीहरूको विश्वसनीयताको कारणले तिनीहरू पृथ्वीमा बलिया भएर बढ्ने होइनन् । तिनीहरू एउटा दुष्ट कामदेखि अर्को दुष्ट काम गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई चिन्दैनन् ।”
4 “Everyone beware of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go around like a slanderer.
तिमीकरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो छिमेकीदेखि होसियार बस, र आफ्नो कुनै भाइमाथि भरोसा नगर । किनकि हरेक भाइ निश्चय नै छली हो, र हरेक छिमेकी बदख्याइँ गर्दै हिंड्छ ।
5 Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीको ठट्टा गर्छ, र साँचो बोल्दैन । तिनीहरूका जिब्राले छली कुराहरू सिकाउँछन् । तिनीहरू अपराध गर्दा-गर्दा थाकेका छन् ।
6 Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says the LORD.
तेरो बासस्थान छलको बिचमा छ । आफ्नो छलमा तिनीहरूले मलाई इन्कार गर्छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
7 Therefore the LORD of Armies says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले तिनीहरूलाई खार्न र जाँच्न लागेको छु, किनकि मेरा मानिसहरूले जे गरेका छन्, त्यसको लागि म अरू के गर्न सक्छु र?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
तिनीहरूका जिब्रा तिखा काँडहरू हुन् । तिनले विश्वास गर्न नसकिने कुराहरू बोल्छन् । आफ्ना मुखले आफ्ना छिमेकीहरूसित शान्तिको घोषणा तिनीहरूले गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूका हृदयले चाहिं तिनीहरूलाई ढुकेर बस्छन् ।
9 Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
के यी कुराको काणले मैले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड नदिने? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, र के यस्तो जातिलाई म आफैले बदला नलिने त?
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.
म शोकको गीत गाउनेछु, र पहाडहरूका निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछु, र खर्कहरूका निम्ति मृत्यु संस्कारको गीत गाइनेछ । किनकि ती जलाइएका छन्, यसैले कोही पनि त्यसबाट जान सक्दैन । तिनीहरूले कुनै पनि गाईवस्तुको आवाज सुन्नेछैनन् । आकाशका चराहरू र पशुहरू सबै भागेर गएका छन् ।
11 “I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
त्यसैले म यरूशलेमलाई भत्केको थुप्रो, स्यालहरूको लुक्ने ठाउँ तुल्याउनेछु । म यहूदाका सहरहरूलाई मानिसहरू नबस्ने गरी उजाड तुल्याउनेछु ।”
12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
यसलाई बुझ्न कुनचाहिं मानिस साँच्चै बुद्धिमानी छ? कसलाई परमप्रभुको मुखले बोल्नुभएको छ, र त्यसले यो घोषणा गर्नेछ? यो देश किन नष्ट पारिएको छ र उजाड-स्थानजस्तै विनाश गरिएको छ जसबाट कोही पनि जान सक्दैन?
13 The LORD says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले तिनीहरूका सामु राखेको मेरो व्यवस्थालाई तिनीहरूले त्यागेका हुनाले, तिनीहरूले मेरो आवाज सुनेर त्यसद्वारा नहिंडेका हुनाले यस्तो भएको हो ।
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
तिनीहरू आ-आफ्ना हठी हृदयद्वारा हिंडेका हुनाले र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले सिकाएझैं गरी तिनीहरूले बाल देवताहरूको अनुसरण गरेको हुनाले यस्तो भएको हो ।
15 Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हर, मैले यो जातिलाई ऐरेलु खुवाउन र विषालु पानी पियाउन लागेको छु ।
16 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
त्यसपछि म तिनीहरूलाई जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पार्ने छु, जसलाई न तिनीहरूले न त तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले चिनेका छन् । मैल तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट नपारेसम्म म तिनीहरूको पछि तरवार पठाउनेछु ।”
17 The LORD of Armies says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skillful women, that they may come.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “यस विषयमा विचार गरः मृत्यु संस्कारका गीत गाउनेहरूलाई बोलाओ । तिनीहरू आऊन् । विलाप गर्न सिपालु स्त्रीहरूलाई बोलाउन पठाओ । तिनीहरू आऊन् ।
18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush out with waters.
तिनीहरू हतार गरून्, र हाम्रा लागि शोकको गीत गाऊन्, ताकि हाम्रा आँखाबाट आँसु बगून् र हाम्रा परेलाबाट पानी बगून् ।
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, ‘How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
किनकि सियोनमा विलापको सोर सुनिएको छ, 'हामी कसरी तहस-नहत भएका छौं । हामी ज्यादै लज्जित भएका छौं । तिनीहरूले हाम्रा घरहरू भत्काएको समयदेखि नै हामीले यो देश त्यागेका छौं ।'
20 Yet hear the LORD’s word, you women. Let your ear receive the word of his mouth. Teach your daughters wailing. Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.
त्यसैले हे स्त्रीहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । उहाँको मुखबाट निस्कने सन्देशमा ध्यान देओ । तब आ-आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई शोकको गीत र हरेक छिमेकी स्त्रीलाई मृत्यु संस्कारको गीत सिकाओ ।
21 For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
किनकि मृत्यु हाम्रा झ्यालबाट आएको छ । यो हाम्रा राजमहलहरूमा जान्छ । यसले बाहिरका बालबालिका र सहरका चोकहरूका युवाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्छ ।
22 Speak, “The LORD says, “‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester. No one will gather them.’”
यसो भन, “यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मानिसहरूका लाशहरू खेतबारीका मलझैं र बाली काट्नेहरूले छाडेका सिलाबालाझैं छोडिनेछन्, र ति जम्मा गर्ने कोही हुनेछैन ।”
23 The LORD says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “बुद्धिमान् मानिसले आफ्नो बुद्धिमा वा योद्धाले आफ्नो शक्तिमा घमण्ड गर्न नदेओ । धनी मानिसले आफ्ना धनमा घमण्ड गर्न नदेओ ।
24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says the LORD.
किनकि कुनै मानिसले कुनै कुरामा घमण्ड गर्छ भने, त्यसले यस कुरामा गरोस् कि उसित अन्तर्दृष्टि छ र मलाई चिन्छ । किनकि म परमप्रभु हुँ जसले पृथ्वीमा करारको बफादारी, न्याय र धार्मिकतामा काम गर्छु । किनकि यिनै कुरामा म प्रसन्न हुन्छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
25 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर, दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जति बेला म शरीरमा मात्र खतना भएकाहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”
म मिश्र, यहूदा, एदोम, अम्मोन, मोआब र शिरमा आफ्नो कपाल छोटो गरी काट्ने सबै मानिसलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । किनकि यी सबै जाति बेखतनाका हुन्, र इस्राएलका सबै घरानासित बेखतनको हृदय छ ।”
