यर्मिया 10
1 हे इस्राएलका घराना हो, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई घोषणा गरिरहनुभएको वचन सुन ।
Hear all of you the word which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel:
2 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “जाति-जातिहरूका चाल नसिक, र आकाशका चिन्हहरूदेखि भयभीत नहोओ किनकि जातिहरू यसबाट भयभीत हुन्छन् ।
Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 किनकि यी मानिसहरूका धार्मिक प्रचलनहरू बेकम्मा छन् । तिनीहरू जङ्गलमा भएको एउटा रुख काट्छन्, र कारीगरले काठको मूर्ति बनाउँछ ।
For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले सुन र चाँदीले त्यसलाई सजाउँछन् । त्यो नढलोस् भनेर तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई घन र किल्लाले ठोक्दछन् ।
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 तिनीहरूले हातले बनाएको कुरो काँक्रोको बारीमा राखिने पुतलाजस्तो हो, किनकि तिनीहरूले पनि केही भन्न सक्दैनन्, र तिनीहरू हिंड्न नसक्ने भएका हुनाले तिनलाई बोक्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूदेखि नडराओ, किनकि तिनीहरूले खराबी ल्याउन सक्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले कुनै भलाइ नै गर्न सक्छन् ।”
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must essentially be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंजस्तो कोही पनि छैन । तपाईं महान् हुनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंको नाउँ शक्तिमा महान् छ ।
Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 हे जातिहरूका महाराजा, तपाईंदेखि को डराउँदैन र? तपाईं यसैको लागि योग्य हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि जातिहरूका सबै बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूका सबै राज्यहरूका बिचमा तपाईंजस्तो कोही पनि छैन ।
Who would not fear you, O King of nations? in order to you does it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you.
8 तिनीहरू सबै उस्तै छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिहीन र मूर्ख छन् । तिनीहरू मूर्तीका चेलाहरू हुन् जुन काठबाहेक केही पनि होइन ।
But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9 तर्शीशबाट पिटिएका चाँदी अनि उपज देशबाट सुनारहरू, शुद्ध पार्नेका हातद्वारा बनाइएका सुन तिनीहरूले ल्याउँछन्, तिनीहरूका वस्त्रहरू निलो र बैजनी कपडा हुन् । तिनीहरूका सिपालु मानिसहरूले यी सबै कुरा बनाए ।
Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10 तर परमप्रभु नै साँचो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ नै जीवित परमेश्वर र अनन्तका राजा हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको रिसमा पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ, र जातिहरूले उहाँको रिस सहन सक्दैनन् ।
But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 तपाईं तिनीहरूसित यसरी बोल्नुहुन्छ, “स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी नबनाउने देवताहरू पृथ्वीबाट र यी आकाशको तलबाट नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
Thus shall all of you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 तर उहाँले पृथ्वीलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले बनाउनुभयो, र उहाँले आफ्नो बुद्धिले संसार स्थापित गर्नुभयो, र आफ्नो समझशक्तिले आकाशलाई फैलाउनुभयो ।
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 उहाँको आवाजले आकाशमा पानीको गर्जन ल्याउँछ, र उहाँले पृथ्वीको कुनाबाट तुसारो ल्याउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले वर्षाको लागि चट्याङ पार्नुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो भण्डारबाट बतास पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures.
14 हरेक मानिस ज्ञानविना अज्ञानी भएको छ । धातुको काम गर्ने हरेक आफ्ना मूर्तिहरूबाट नै लाजमा परेको छ । किनकि त्यसले बनाएका मूर्तिहरू झूटा हुन् । तिनमा जीवन छैन ।
Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 ती बेकम्मा छन्, गिल्ला गर्नेहरूको काम हुन् । तिनीहरूको दण्डको समयमा तिनीहरू नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 तर परमेश्वर जो याकूबको हिस्सा हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँ तीजस्ता छैनन्, किनकि उहाँ त सबै कुराका निर्माणकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ । इस्राएल उहाँको उत्तराधिकारको कुल हो । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु उहाँको नाउँ हो ।
The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17 ए घेराबन्दीमा बाँचेका मानिसहरू हो, आ-आफ्नो पोकोपन्तरो जम्मा गर र देश छोड ।
Gather up your wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, यस बेला यो देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई मैले बाहिर फाल्न लागेको छु । म तिनीहरूमाथि सङ्कष्ट ल्याउनेछु, र तिनीहरूले यस्तै भएको भेट्टाउनेछन् ।”
For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 मलाई धिक्कार छ! मेरा हड्डी भाँचिएका हुनाले मेरो चोट सङ्क्रमित भएको छ । त्यसैले मैले भनें, “निश्चय नै यो वेदना हो, तर मैले त्यो सहनैपर्छ ।”
Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 मेरो पाल तहस-नहस पारिएको छ, र मेरा पालका सबै डोरी दुई टुक्रा पारेर काटिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले मेरा बालबालिकालाई मबाट टाढा लगेका छन्, त्यसैले तिनीहरू अब छैनन् । मेरो पाल टाँग्न वा मेरा पर्दाहरू उठाउन त्यहाँ अब फेरि कोही छैन ।
My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone out of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 किनकि गोठालाहरू मूर्ख छन्, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्दैनन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरूको उन्नति भएको छैन, र तिनीहरूका सबै बगाल तितर-बितर भएका छन् ।
For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 समाचारको खबर आएको छ, “हेर, यहूदाका सहरहरूलाई उजाड पारेर स्यालहरूका लुक्ने ठाउँ बनाउनलाई उत्तरको देशबाट एउटा ठुलो भूकम्प आउँदैछ ।”
Behold, the noise of the bruit has come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23 हे परमप्रभु, म जान्दछु, मानिसको चाल ऊ आफैबाट आउँदैन । हिंडिरहेको कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले आफ्ना कदमहरूलाई निर्देशन दिंदैन ।
O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps.
24 हे परमप्रभु, मलाई न्यायले अनुशासित गर्नुहोस्, तपाईंको रिसमा होइन, नत्रता तपाईंले मलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 तपाईंले नचिन्ने जातिहरू र तपाईंको नाउँ नपुकार्ने परिवारहरूमाथि तपाईंको क्रोध खन्याउनुहोस् । किनकि तिनीहरूले याकूबलाई निलेका छन् र भष्म पारेका छन् यसरी उसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नास पारेका र उसको बासस्थानलाई उजाड पारेका छन् ।
Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
