< यर्मिया 11 >
1 परमप्रभुबाट यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर वचन आयो,
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 “यस करारका वचनहरूलाई सुन्, अनि यहूदाका हरेक मानिस र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई ती घोषणा गर् ।
“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to 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 to them, Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear 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 in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall 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 ।'
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.” Then I answered, and said, “Amen, Yahweh.”
6 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूका यी सबै कुराको घोषणा गर् । यसो भन्, 'यस करारका वचनहरूलाई सुन र तिनलाई कार्यावन्यन गर ।
Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear 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 protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey 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 didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’”
9 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूका बिचमा भएको एउटा षड्यन्त्र पत्ता लागेको छ ।
Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is 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 have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have 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 Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not 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 cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their 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 ।
For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’
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 ।
“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because 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 has my beloved to do in my house, since she has behaved lewdly with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.”
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 ।
Yahweh called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit.” With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
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 ।”
For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
18 परमप्रभुले मलाई यी कुराहरू अवगत गराउनुभयो, त्यसैले म यी जान्दछु । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले नै मलाई तिनीहरूका कामहरू देखाउनुभयो ।
Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me 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 gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”
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, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed 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 Yahweh says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in Yahweh’s name, that you 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 Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 तिनीहरूमध्ये कोही पनि छाडिनेछैन, किनकि म अनातोतका मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा विपत्ति ल्याउँदैछु, जुन तिनीहरूको दण्डको वर्ष हुनेछ' ।”
There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’”
