यर्मिया 1
1 बेन्यामीनको क्षेत्रमा पर्ने अनातोतका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एक जना हिल्कियाहका छोरा यर्मियाका वचन यिनै हुन् ।
The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
2 यहूदाका राजा अमोनका छोरा योशियाहको शासनकालको तेह्रौं वर्षमा परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो ।
The word of the Lord, which came to him in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको समयदेखि यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको एघारौं वर्षको पाँचौं महिनासम्म, यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू कैदीका रूपमा नलगिएसम्म नै परमप्रभुको वचन आइरह्यो ।
and which came to him in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, even until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, even until the transmigration of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 “मैले तँलाई गर्भमा रच्नुभन्दा पहिले, मैले तँलाई चुनें । तँ गर्भबाट बाहिर आउनुअगि मैले तँलाई अलग गरें । मैले तँलाई जाति-जातिहरूका निम्ति अगमवक्ता बनाएँ ।
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you went forth from the womb, I sanctified you. And I made you a prophet to the nations.”
6 मैले भनें, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, कसरी बोल्ने भनी मलाई थाहा छैन, किनकि म त धेरै सानो बालक छु ।”
And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am a boy.”
7 तर परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यसो नभन्, 'म सानो बालक छु' । मैले पठाउने हरेक ठाउँमा तँ जानैपर्छ, र मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गर्ने हरेक कुरा तैंले भनैपर्छ ।
And the Lord said to me: “Do not choose to say, ‘I am a boy.’ For you shall go forth to everyone to whom I will send you. And you shall speak all that I will command you.
8 तिनीहरूदेखि नडरा, किनकि तेरो उद्धार गर्न म तँसित छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
You should not be afraid before their face. For I am with you, so that I may deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 तब परमप्रभुले आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो, मेरो मुख छुनुभयो, र मलाई भन्नुभयो, “अब मैले तेरो मुखमा मेरो वचन हालिदिएको छु ।
And the Lord put forth his hand, and he touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have placed my words in your mouth.
10 उखेल्न र भत्काउन, नाश गर्न र भताभुङ्ग पार्न, बनाउन र रोप्न, आज मैले तँलाई जातिहरू र राज्यहरूमाथि नियुक्त गर्दैछु ।”
Behold, today I have appointed you over nations and over kingdoms, so that you may root up, and pull down, and destroy, and scatter, and so that you may build and plant.”
11 परमप्रभुको वचन मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “ए यर्मिया, तँ के देख्छस्?” मैले भनें, “हाडे-बदामको एउटा हाँगा म देख्छु ।”
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I see a staff, keeping watch.”
12 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैंले राम्ररी देखेको छस्, किनकि आफ्नो वचन पुरा गर्नलाई म त्यसलाई नियालेर हेर्दैछु ।”
And the Lord said to me: “You have seen well. For I will keep watch over my word, so that I may accomplish it.”
13 परमप्रभुको वचन दोस्रो पटक मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “तैंले के देख्छस्?” मैले भनें, “म एउटा तताइएको भाँडो देख्छु जसको माथिल्लो सतह छचल्किएर उत्तर दिशाबाट घोप्टिहरेको छ ।”
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a cooking pot upon a fire, and its face is before the face of the north.”
14 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यस देशमा बस्ने सबैमाथि विपत्ति उत्तर दिशाबाट नै आउन सुरु हुनेछ ।
And the Lord said to me: “From the north, an evil will spread over all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 किनकि मैले उत्तरी राज्यहरूका सबै कुललाई बोलाउँदैछु भनी यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । तिनीहरू आउनेछन्, र यरूशलेमका मूल ढोकाहरूको प्रवेशद्वारमा आ-आफ्नो सिंहासन स्थापित गर्नेछन्, अनि तिनीहरू यसका चारैतिरका पर्खालहरू र यहूदाका सबै सहरको विरुद्धमा लाग्नेछन् ।
For behold, I will call together all the close associates of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord. And they will arrive, and each one of them will place his throne at the entrance to the gates of Jerusalem, and over all its surrounding walls, and over all the cities of Judah.
16 अरू देवताहरूलाई धुप बालेर र तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हातले बनाएका वस्तुहरूलाई पुजा गरेर मलाई त्यागेका हुनाले तिनीहरूका सबै दुष्ट कामको विरुद्धमा म इन्साफ गर्नेछु ।
And I will speak my judgments with them, concerning all the wickedness of those who have forsaken me, and who have offered libations to strange gods, and who have adored the work of their own hands.
17 आफूलाई तयार पार! खडा हो, र मैले तँलाई जे आज्ञा गर्छु, त्यो तिनीहरूलाई भन् । तिनीहरूको सामु नडरा, अन्यथा तिनीहरूका सामु म तँलाई नै डरमा पार्नेछु ।
Therefore, you should gird your waist, and rise up, and speak to them everything that I instruct you. You should not have dread before their face. For I will cause you to be unafraid of their countenance.
18 हेर, सारा देश अर्थात् यहूदाका राजाहरू, यसका अधिकारीहरू, पुजारीहरू र देशका मानिसको विरुद्धमा आज मैले तँलाई एउटा किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहर, फलामे खम्बा र काँसाको पर्खाल बनाएको छु ।
For certainly, this day, I have made you like a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and a brass wall, over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its leaders, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.
19 तिनीहरू तेरो विरुद्धमा लड्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले तँलाई पराजित गर्नेछैनन्, किनकि तेरो उद्धार गर्न म तँसितै हुनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And they will make war against you, but they will not prevail. For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may free you.”
