< यर्मिया 11 >
1 परमप्रभुबाट यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर वचन आयो,
This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah:
2 “यस करारका वचनहरूलाई सुन्, अनि यहूदाका हरेक मानिस र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई ती घोषणा गर् ।
Listen to the terms of this agreement, and then repeat them to the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
3 तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यस करारका वचनहरू नसुन्ने जोसुकै श्रापित होस् ।
Tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: You are cursed if you don't obey the terms of this agreement.
4 मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्रदेश अर्थात् फलाम पगाल्ने भट्टीबाट ल्याएको दिनमा यो करारको पालन गर्न आज्ञा दिएको थिएँ । मैले भनें, 'मेरो आवाजलाई सुन र मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका यी सबै कुरा पालन गर, किनकि तिमीहरू मेरो जाति हुनेछौ, र म तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुनेछु ।'
I made this agreement with your forefathers when I led them out of Egypt, out of the iron-making furnace, saying, “Obey me, and do everything I order you to do, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.”
5 मेरो आज्ञा पालन गर ताकि दूध र मह बग्ने देश दिनेछु भनी मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित खाएको शपथ म पुरा गर्न सक्छु ।' तब म यर्मियाले जवाफ दिएँ र भनें, 'हे, परमप्रभु हवस् ।'
I did this to fulfill what I promised to your forefathers—to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it still is today. Amen, Lord, I answered.
6 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूका यी सबै कुराको घोषणा गर् । यसो भन्, 'यस करारका वचनहरूलाई सुन र तिनलाई कार्यावन्यन गर ।
Then the Lord told me, Go and publicly announce this whole message in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Pay attention the terms of this agreement and do what they say.
7 किनकि मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याएको दिनदेखि वर्तमान समयसम्म निरन्तर रूपमा तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिंदै र 'मेरो आवाज सुन,' भन्दै गम्भीर आज्ञाहरू दिंदै आएको छु ।
From the time I led your forefathers out of Egypt until now, I seriously warned them time and again, saying, “Do what I tell you!”
8 तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन्, वा ध्यानै दिएनन् । हरेक व्यक्ति आफ्नै दुष्ट हृदयको कठोरतामा हिंडिरहेको छ । त्यसैले यस करारमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै श्राप मैले तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा ल्याएँ । तर मानिसहरूले अझै पनि आज्ञा मानेनन् ।”
But they refused to obey, they wouldn't listen. Instead each of them followed their own stubborn and evil thinking. I had ordered them to follow the agreement, but they didn't do so. So I brought down on them all the curses contained in the agreement.
9 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूका बिचमा भएको एउटा षड्यन्त्र पत्ता लागेको छ ।
The Lord told me, There is a rebellion happening among the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem.
10 तिनीहरू आफ्ना पहिलेका पुर्खाहरूका अधर्मतर्फ लागेका छन् जसले मेरो वचन सुन्न इन्कार गरी अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गर्न तिनीहरूको पछि लागे । इस्राएलको घराना र यहूदाको घरानाले मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित स्थापित गरेको मेरो करार तोडे ।
They have gone back to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey what I said. They have gone to worship other gods. The people of Israel and Judah have broken the agreement I made with their forefathers.
11 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, मैले तिनीहरूमाथि यस्तो विपत्ति ल्याउनै लागेको छु, जुन विपत्तिबाट तिनीहरू भाग्न सक्ने छैनन् । तब तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गर्नेछन्, तर म तिनीहरूको कुरा सुन्नेछैनँ ।
So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring upon them a disaster they won't be able to escape. They will cry out to me for help, but I won't listen to them.
12 यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू जानेछन्, र तिनीहरूले भेटी चढाएका देवताहरूलाई पुकार्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरूको विपत्तिको समयमा निश्चय पनि तिनीहरू ती देवताहरूद्वारा बचाइनेछैनन् ।
Then the people in the towns of Judah and Jerusalem will go and call out for help to the gods they've been burning incense to, but these gods won't be able to do anything to save them in their time of trouble.
13 किनकि तँ यहूदाले तेरा देवताहरूको सङ्ख्या वृद्धि गरेर तेरा सहरहरूको सङ्ख्या बराबर तुल्याएको छस् । तैंले यरूशलेममा त्यसका सडकहरूको सङ्ख्या जत्तिकै धेरै लज्जास्पद वेदीहरू, बाल देवताको निम्ति धुप बाल्ने वेदीहरू बनाएको छस् ।
You certainly have as many gods as you have towns, Judah! You have built shameful altars, altars to burn incense to Baal. You have as many altars as the streets of Jerusalem.
14 त्यसैले ए यर्मिया, तँ आफूले यी मानिसहरूको निम्ति प्रार्थना नचढा । तिनीहरूको पक्षमा तैंले विलाप वा बिन्ती गर्नहुँदैन । किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्नो विपत्तिमा मलाई पुकारा गर्दा म तिनीहरूको पुकारा सुन्नेछैन्नँ ।
Jeremiah, don't pray for these people. Don't cry for help or offer a prayer on their behalf, because I won't be listening when they cry out to me in the time of their trouble.
15 मेरी प्रिय जससित धेरै दुष्ट मनसाय थिए, त्यो किन मेरो मन्दिरमा छे? तेरा बलिदानहरूको मासुले तँलाई मदत गर्न सक्दैन । तेरा दुष्ट कामहरूको कारणले तँ आनन्द मनाउँछस् ।
What right do the people I love have to be in my Temple when they've done so many evil things? Do you think the meat of sacrifices will save you? When disaster strikes will you be happy?
16 विगतमा परमप्रभुले तँलाई झ्याम्म परेको जैतूनको रुख, रहरलाग्दो फल भएको सुन्दर रुख भन्नुभयो । तर उहाँले यसमा आगो सल्काउनुहुनेछ, जुन आँधीबेहरीको गर्जनजस्तो सुनिनेछ । यसका हाँगाहरू भँचिनेछन् ।
At one time the Lord said you were a healthy olive tree, full of leaves and bearing beautiful fruit. But with a great noise he will set fire to it, destroying its branches.
17 इस्राएलको घराना र यहूदाको घरानाले गरेका दुष्ट कामहरूको कारणले तिमीहरूलाई रोप्नुहुने सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा विपत्तिको आदेश दिनुभएको छ— तिनीहरूले बाल देवतालाई भेटीहरू चढाएर मलाई रिस उठाएका छन् ।”
I, the Lord Almighty, was the one who planted you, but I have announced you will be destroyed because of the evil that the people of Israel and Judah have committed, making me angry by burning incense to Baal.
18 परमप्रभुले मलाई यी कुराहरू अवगत गराउनुभयो, त्यसैले म यी जान्दछु । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले नै मलाई तिनीहरूका कामहरू देखाउनुभयो ।
The Lord told me about it, so I knew. Then he showed me what they were actually doing.
19 म त कसाइकहाँ लगिंदै गरेको अवोध थुमाजस्तै थिएँ । तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा यस्तो योजना रचेका थिए भनी मलाई थाहा थिएन, “रुखलाई त्यसको फलसमेत नष्ट पारौं । फेरि त्यसको नाउँ नै नसम्झने गरी त्यसलाई जीवितहरूको देशबाट निष्काशित गरौं ।”
I was like a trusting little lamb being led away to be slaughtered. I didn't know that they had been plotting against me. They said, “Let's destroy the tree along with everything it produces. Let's kill him so no one will even remember his name.”
20 तापनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु धार्मिक न्यायाधीश हुनुहुन्छ जसले हृदय र मनको जाँच गर्नहुन्छ । तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा तपाईंको बदलाको म साक्षी बन्नेछु किनकि मैले मेरो विषय तपाईंको सामु पेस गरेको छु ।
I appeal to you, Lord Almighty, you who judge rightly and examine peoples thoughts and feelings, let me see how you punish them, because I've left my case in your hands.
21 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु तेरो प्राण लिन खोज्ने अनातोतका मानिसहरूको सम्बन्धमा यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'तैंले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा अगमवाणी बोल्नुहँदैन, नत्रता तँ हाम्रा हातबाट मर्नेछस् ।'
So this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth who are trying to kill you, telling you, “Don't prophesy in the name of the Lord, or we'll kill you.”
22 त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, मैले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनै लागेको छु । तिनीहरूका हट्टाकट्टा युवाहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् । तिनीहरूका छोराहरू र छोरीहरू अनिकालद्वारा मर्नेछन् ।
This is the reply of the Lord Almighty: I will punish them. Their young men will killed by the sword, their sons and daughters will be killed by famine.
23 तिनीहरूमध्ये कोही पनि छाडिनेछैन, किनकि म अनातोतका मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा विपत्ति ल्याउँदैछु, जुन तिनीहरूको दण्डको वर्ष हुनेछ' ।”
There won't be anyone left because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth at the time when they're punished.
