< यर्मिया 10 >

1 हे इस्राएलका घराना हो, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई घोषणा गरिरहनुभएको वचन सुन ।
Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, 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, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations 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 peoples are vanity; 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 not move.
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 like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Do not be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
6 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंजस्तो कोही पनि छैन । तपाईं महान् हुनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंको नाउँ शक्तिमा महान् छ ।
"There is none like you, 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 should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
8 तिनीहरू सबै उस्तै छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिहीन र मूर्ख छन् । तिनीहरू मूर्तीका चेलाहरू हुन् जुन काठबाहेक केही पनि होइन ।
But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols. It is but wood.
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 ।
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful 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 trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.
11 तपाईं तिनीहरूसित यसरी बोल्नुहुन्छ, “स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी नबनाउने देवताहरू पृथ्वीबाट र यी आकाशको तलबाट नष्‍ट हुनेछन् ।
You shall say this to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the 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 by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:
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 tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
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 has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved 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, a work of delusion: 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 these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe 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, you who live under siege.
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, 'Look, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.'
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 because of my hurt. My wound is grievous: but I said, 'Truly this is my 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 tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread 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 shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
22 समाचारको खबर आएको छ, “हेर, यहूदाका सहरहरूलाई उजाड पारेर स्यालहरूका लुक्‍ने ठाउँ बनाउनलाई उत्तरको देशबाट एउटा ठुलो भूकम्प आउँदैछ ।”
The voice of news, look, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
23 हे परमप्रभु, म जान्दछु, मानिसको चाल ऊ आफैबाट आउँदैन । हिंडिरहेको कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले आफ्ना कदमहरूलाई निर्देशन दिंदैन ।
LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 हे परमप्रभु, मलाई न्यायले अनुशासित गर्नुहोस्, तपाईंको रिसमा होइन, नत्रता तपाईंले मलाई नष्‍ट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
LORD, correct me, but in measure: 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 wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation."
