यिर्मया 6
1 १ बन्यामीनच्या लोकांनो, जीव वाचविण्यासाठी पळा. यरूशलेमपासून दूर पळा. तकोवामध्ये तुतारी फुंका. बेथ-हक्करेमवर धोक्याचा इशारा देणारे निशाण उभारा. हे सर्व करा कारण उत्तरेकडून अरिष्ट येत आहे. भयानक नाश तुमच्याकडे येत आहे.
“You people in Jerusalem who are from [the tribe of] Benjamin, flee from this city! Blow the trumpets in Tekoa [city south of Jerusalem]! Send up a [smoke] signal in Beth-Haccherem [town] [to warn the people of the coming danger]! A powerful [army] will come from the north, and they will cause great destruction.
Jerusalem is [like] a beautiful pasture [full of sheep], but it will soon be destroyed.
3 ३ मेंढपाळ आणि त्यांचे कळप तिच्याकडे जातील. ते तिच्या सर्व बाजूंना तंबू ठोकतील. प्रत्येक मनुष्य स्वत: च्या हाताने कळपाची काळजी घेतील.
[Enemy kings, not] shepherds [MET], will come [with their armies] and set up their tents around the city, and each [king will choose a part of the city for his soldiers to destroy like] [MET] shepherds divide their pastures for their flocks of sheep.
4 ४ “परमेश्वराच्या नावात तिच्यावर हल्ला करा. उठा! आपण दुपारी हल्ला करु. हे किती वाईट आहे की दिवस मावळत आहे आणि संध्याछाया लांबत आहेत.
[The kings will tell their troops], “Get ready for the battle. We should attack them before noontime. But [if we arrive there late in the afternoon] when the shadows are becoming long,
we will attack them at night and tear down their fortresses.”
6 ६ कारण सेनाधीश परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो, शक्तीमान परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो, “झाडे कापा आणि यरूशलेमविरूद्ध मोर्चा बांधा. या नगरीला शिक्षा व्हावीच, कारण या नगरीच्या आत जुलुमाशिवाय काहीही नाही.
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, says this: “[I will command those soldiers to] cut down the trees [outside Jerusalem] and to build dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [in order that they can enter the city]. This city must be punished because everyone there continually oppresses others.
7 ७ जशी विहीर आपले पाणी ताजे ठेवते, तशीच ही नगरी आपला दुष्टपणा ताजा ठेवते. तिच्यामध्ये लूटमार व हिंसाचार हे ऐकू येतात. पीडा आणि दु: ख सदोदीत माझ्या समोर आहे.
[It is as though] the wicked things that the people do pour out of the city like [SIM] water flows out of a spring. [The noise from people doing] violent and destructive actions is heard everywhere. I continually see [people who are] suffering and wounded.
8 ८ यरूशलेम, धोक्याचा इशारा ऐक. जर तू ऐकले नाहीस तर मी तुझ्याकडे पाठ फिरवीन, आणि तुला ओसाड असे करीन, जेथे कोणीही राहू शकणार नाही.”
Listen to what I am warning you, [you people of] [APO] Jerusalem, because if you do not listen, I will reject you and cause your land to become desolate, a land where no one lives.”
9 ९ सेनाधीश परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो, “ते इस्राएलाचे शेष उरलेल्या द्राक्षांसारखे वेचून काढतील, तू आपला हात द्राक्षे खुडणाऱ्याप्रमाणे डाहाळ्यातून फिरव.”
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, also says this: “[I will tell your enemies] to cause your country to become as desolate [SIM] as a vineyard from which all the grapes have been completely stripped from the vines. [Their soldiers will seize the possessions of] those who remain in Israel [after the others have been exiled] like [SIM] farmers go to the vines again to pick any grapes [that were (left/not picked)].”
10 १० मी कोणाला घोषीत करू आणि चेतावणी देऊ, जेणेकरून ते ऐकतील? पाहा, त्यांचा कान बेसुंता आहे म्हणून त्यांना ऐकू येत नाही. पाहा, परमेश्वराचे वचन त्यांची चूक दुरुस्त करण्यासाठी त्यांच्या जवळ आले आहे, पण त्यांना ते नको आहे.
[Then I said, “If I speak to the Israeli people] to warn them, (who will listen to me?/No one will listen to me.) [RHQ] [It is as though] their ears are closed, [and as a result] they cannot hear [what I say]. They scorn Yahweh’s messages; they do not want to listen to them at all.
11 ११ म्हणून मी परमेश्वराच्या रागाने भरलो आहे. “तो आतल्या आत दाबून धरण्याचा मला आता कंटाळा आला आहे. रस्त्यावर खेळणाऱ्या मुलांवर, एकत्र जमलेल्या तरुणांवर परमेश्वराचा राग ओतणार आहे. पुरुष व त्याची पत्नी असे दोघही, तसेच सर्व म्हातारे पकडले जातील.
So [now] I am extremely angry, like Yahweh is angry, and I cannot restrain it any longer.” [So] Yahweh said [to me], “Tell everyone that you are very angry with them. Tell the children in the streets and the young men who gather together. Tell the men and their wives; tell the very old people [DOU], also.
12 १२ त्यांची घरे दुसऱ्यांना दिली जातील त्यांची शेते व त्यांच्या स्त्रिया दुसऱ्यांना दिल्या जातील. मी माझा हात उगारून देशातील रहिवाश्यांवर हल्ला करीन,” असे परमेश्वर म्हणतो.
[Tell the men that] I will give their houses to [their enemies], and I will give their property/fields and their wives to them, also, when I punish [IDM] the people who live in this land.
13 १३ “कारण त्यांच्यातील लहानांपासून तर मोठ्यांपर्यंत ते सर्व अप्रामाणिक मिळकतीचा लोभ धरतात. भविष्यवाद्यांपासून ते याजकापर्यंत, त्यांच्यातील प्रत्येकजण फसवे काम करतो.
Everyone is trying to get money by tricking others, from the most [important people] to the least [important people]; even the prophets and the priests are trying to deceive [people to get money].
[They act as though the sins of my people are like] [MET] small wounds that they do not need to put bandages on. They continually [greet people by] saying ‘I hope things are going well with you,’ when things are not going well.
15 १५ त्यांनी केलेल्या दुष्कृत्यांमुळे ते लाजले का? त्यांना काही लाज वाटली नाही आणि त्यांनी पण त्यांना अजिबात लाज वाटत नाही. त्यांना कोणत्याही अपमानास्पद वागणूकीचा अनुभव घेतला नाही. यास्तव मी ज्यावेळी त्यांना शिक्षा करीन तेव्हा ते पडणाऱ्यांबरोबर पडतील. ते उध्वस्त केले जातील.” परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो.
They should be [RHQ] ashamed about the disgusting things that they do, but they are not ashamed at all. They do not [even] know how to (blush/show on their faces that they are ashamed). So, they also will be among those who will be killed. They will be destroyed when I punish them.”
16 १६ परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो: “चौकात उभे राहा आणि पाहा. जुना रस्ता कोणता ते विचारा. चांगल्या रस्त्याची चौकशी करा, नंतर त्याच चाला आणि तुमच्या जीवा करता विसाव्याची जागा शोधा.” पण तुम्ही लोक म्हणाला, आम्ही जाणार नाही.
This is [also] what Yahweh said [to the Israeli people]: “Stand at the crossroads and look [at the people who pass by]. Ask them what was the good behavior [that their ancestors had] long ago. [And when they tell you], behave that way. If you do that, you will find rest for your souls.” But you replied, ‘We do not want to do that!’
I sent [my prophets who were like] [MET] watchmen. They said, ‘Listen carefully when we blow the trumpets [to warn you that your enemies are approaching],’ but you said, ‘[No], we do not want to listen.’
Therefore, you people in the other nations, listen to this: Pay attention to what is going to happen to the [Israeli people].
19 १९ हे पृथ्वी, ऐक! पाहा, या लोकांवर मी अनर्थ आणणार आहे, म्हणजे त्यांच्याच विचारांचे फळ त्यांच्यावर आणीन. कारण त्यांनी माझ्या वचनांकडे दुर्लक्ष केलेच, पण ह्याव्यतीरिक्त ते धिक्कारले आहे.
Listen, all of you! I am going to cause the [Israeli] people to experience disasters. That is what will happen to them because they have refused to listen to what I told them. They have refused to obey my laws.
20 २० परमेश्वर म्हणतो, “शेबाहून धूप आणि दूरवरच्या देशातून गोड सुगंध माझ्या काय कामाचा? तुमची होमार्पणे आणि यज्ञ मला मान्य नाहीत.”
[You Israeli people], when you burn frankincense that came from [far away in] Sheba, and [when you offer to me] sweet-smelling anointing oil that came from far away, I will not [RHQ] be pleased with your sacrifices. I will not accept the sacrifices that are completely burned on the altar; I am not pleased with [any of] your sacrifices.
21 २१ यास्तव परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो: “मी या लोकांविरूद्ध अडखळणे ठेवीन. त्यावर वडील व मुले अडखळून पडतील. राहणारे आणि शेजारी हे नष्ट होतील.”
Therefore, I will put obstacles on the roads on which my people will travel. Men and their sons and people’s neighbors and friends will stumble over those obstacles and fall down; everyone will die.”
22 २२ परमेश्वर पुढे असे म्हणतो: “उत्तरेकडून लोक येत आहे. पृथ्वीवरच्या अतीदूरच्या ठिकाणाहून मोठे राष्ट्र येत आहे.
Yahweh [also] says this: “You will see a [huge] army marching [towards you] from the north. [An army of] a great nation very far away is preparing [to attack you].
23 २३ ते धनुष्य आणि भाला उचलतील. ते क्रूर आहेत आणि ते दया करीत नाही. त्यांचा आवाज समुद्राच्या गर्जने सारखा आहे. आणि हे सियोन कन्ये, लढाईसाठी सिद्ध झालेल्या पुरूषांप्रमाणे विशिष्ट रचना करूण ते घोड्यांवरून स्वारी करतात.”
They have bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. As they ride along on their horses, the horses’ feet sound like the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you people of Jerusalem.”
24 २४ त्यांच्याबद्दल आम्ही बातमी ऐकली आहे. दुःखात आमचे हात कोलमडले आहेत. प्रसूती होणाऱ्या स्त्रीप्रमाणे आमची स्थिती झाली आहे.
[The people of Jerusalem say], “We have heard reports about the enemy; [so] we are very frightened, with the result that we feel weak. We are very afraid, and worried, like [SIM] women who are about to give birth to babies.
[So one person says to another], ‘Do not go out into the fields! Do not go on the roads, because the enemy [soldiers] have swords [and they are everywhere]; they are coming from all directions, and we are extremely afraid.’”
26 २६ माझ्या लोकांच्या कन्ये, शोकवस्त्रे घाल आणि राखेत लोळ, एकुलता एक मुलगा गेल्याप्रमाणे आकांत कर. कारण नाश करणारा अगदी एकाएक आपल्यावर येईल.
[So I say], “My dear people, put on (sackcloth/rough clothes) and sit in ashes [to show that you are sorry for your sins]. Mourn and cry very much, like [SIM] [a woman would cry] if her only son had died, because your enemies are very near, and they are going to destroy [everything].”
[Then Yahweh said to me], “[Jeremiah], I have caused you to become [like] [MET] someone who heats metal very hot [to completely burn the impurities]. You will examine my people’s behavior.
28 २८ ते सर्व लोक दुराग्रही आहेत. जे दुसऱ्यांची निंदा करतात. ते सर्व कास्य व लोखंड आहेत, जे भ्रष्टपणे वागतात.
You will find out that they are very stubborn rebels, they are always slandering others. [Their inner beings] are as hard as bronze or iron; they all [continually] deceive others.
29 २९ भाता जळाला आहे, अग्नीतून शिसे जळून निघाले आहे, ते स्वत: ला व्यर्थच गाळीत राहतात, कारण जे दुष्ट ते काढून टाकलेले नाहीत.
[A metalworker causes] the bellows to blow very hard to [make the fire very hot to] completely burn up the impurities [MET]. [But just as] a fire does not cause all the waste material to run off, it is impossible to separate [the righteous people from the wicked people, and punish only] the wicked people.
[I], Yahweh, have rejected them; I say that they are [like] [MET] worthless silver.”
