यर्मिया 11

1 परमप्रभुबाट यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर वचन आयो,

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

2 “यस करारका वचनहरूलाई सुन्, अनि यहूदाका हरेक मानिस र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई ती घोषणा गर् ।

Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

3 तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः यस करारका वचनहरू नसुन्‍ने जोसुकै श्रापित होस् ।

And say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that hearkeneth not to the words of this covenant,

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 ।'

Which I commanded your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to my voice, and do the same, in accordance with all which I may command you; and so shall ye be to me for a people, and I will be to you for a 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 ।'

In order that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give unto them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered, and said, So be it, O Lord.

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 said the Lord unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.

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 ।

For I earnestly warned your fathers on the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even until this day, sending out early and warning, saying, Hearken to my voice;

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 ।”

Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore did I bring over them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but which they did not.

9 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूका बिचमा भएको एउटा षड्यन्त्र पत्ता लागेको छ ।

And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy hath been found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of 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 are returned again to the iniquities of their earlier forefathers, who had refused to hearken to my words; and they themselves are [also] gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

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 ।

Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring an evil upon them, from which they shall not be able to rid themselves; and they will cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto 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 let the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense; but they shall not save them in the least in the time of their distress.

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 ।

For equal to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and equal to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the disgraceful idol, altars, to burn incense unto Ba'al.

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 ।

But thou—thou must not pray in behalf of this people, neither lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer; for I will not hear at the time that they call unto me, because of their distress.

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 hath my beloved to do in my house, while she executeth the evil counsel of so many [sinners]? Yea, the holy flesh passeth away from thee; for even with thy wickedness, thou rejoicest still.

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 ।

An ever-green olive-tree, beautiful in fruit and form, did the Lord call thy name: with the noise of a great tumult hath he kindled fire around it, and they break off 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 ।”

And the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath decreed evil against thee; on account of the wickedness of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves, to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Ba'al.

18 परमप्रभुले मलाई यी कुराहरू अवगत गराउनुभयो, त्‍यसैले म यी जान्‍दछु । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले नै मलाई तिनीहरूका कामहरू देखाउनुभयो ।

And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then didst thou let me see their doings.

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 ।”

But I was like a sheep or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying, ] “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may not be remembered any more.”

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 ।

But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I entrusted my cause.

21 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु तेरो प्राण लिन खोज्ने अनातोतका मानिसहरूको सम्बन्धमा यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'तैंले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा अगमवाणी बोल्‍नुहँदैन, नत्रता तँ हाम्रा हातबाट मर्नेछस् ।'

Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the men of 'Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, “Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the Lord, that thou mayest not die by our hand:”

22 त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, मैले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनै लागेको छु । तिनीहरूका हट्टाकट्टा युवाहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् । तिनीहरूका छोराहरू र छोरीहरू अनिकालद्वारा मर्नेछन् ।

Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will inflict punishment on them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by the famine;

23 तिनीहरूमध्‍ये कोही पनि छाडिनेछैन, किनकि म अनातोतका मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा विपत्ति ल्याउँदैछु, जुन तिनीहरूको दण्डको वर्ष हुनेछ' ।”

And no remnant shall remain of them; for I will bring evil upon the men of 'Anathoth, in the year of their punishment.
