< यर्मिया 12 >

1 हे परमप्रभु, मैले तपाईंकहाँ विवाद ल्याउँदा तपाईं धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ । मैले गुनासो गर्नुपर्ने कारण निश्‍चय पनि मैले तपाईंलाई बताउनुपर्छः किन दुष्‍टका मार्गहरू सफल हुन्छन्? सबै विश्‍वासहीन मानिस सफल छन् ।
Thou are righteous, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee. Yet I would reason the case with thee. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those at ease who deal very treacherously?
2 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई रोप्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूले जरा हाले । तिनीहरूले निरन्‍तर फल फलाउँछन् । तिनीहरूका मुखमा तपाईं तिनीहरूको नजिक हुनुहुन्छ, तर तिनीहरूका हृदयबाट धेरै टाढा हुनुहुन्छ ।
Thou have planted them. Yea, they have taken root, they grow. Yea, they bring forth fruit. Thou are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
3 तापनि हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले मलाई जान्‍नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मलाई देख्‍नुहुन्छ, र तपाईंप्रतिको मेरो हृदयलाई जाँच गर्नहुन्छ । मारिनलाई लगिने भेडाजस्तै तिनीहरूलाई लैजानुहोस्, र मारिने दिनको लागि तिनीहरूलाई अलग गर्नुहोस् ।
But thou, O Jehovah, know me. Thou see me, and try my heart toward thee. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 देश कहिलेसम्म सुक्खा भइरहन्‍छ, यसका बासिन्दाहरूको दुष्‍टताको कारणले हरेक खेतका बोटबिरुवा ओइलाउँछन्? पशुहरू र चराहरू लगिएका छन् । वास्तवमा मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “हामीमाथि के भएको छ, सो परमेश्‍वरले देख्‍नुहुन्‍न ।”
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds, because they said, He shall not see our latter end.
5 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “वास्तवमा, तँ यर्मिया पैदल हिंड्ने सिपाहीहरूसित दगुरेको भए, र तिनीहरूले तँलाई थकाएका भए, तैंले कसरी घोडाहरूको विरुद्धमा प्रतिस्पर्धा गर्न सक्छन्? तँ सुरक्षित पाखामा खसेको छस् भने, यर्दननेरका झाडीहरूमा तैंले के गर्नेछस्?
If thou have run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how can thou contend with horses? And though in a land of peace thou are secure, yet how will thou do in the pride of the Jordan?
6 किनकि तेरै दाजुभाइ र तेरै बुबाको परिवारले तँलाई धोका दिएका अनि खुलेआम कराएर तँलाई इन्‍कार गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले तँलाई राम्रा कुराहरू गरे तापनि तिनीहरूमाथि भरोसा नगर् ।
For even thy brothers, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee. Believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.
7 मैले आफ्‍नो घरलाई त्यागेको छु । मैले मेरो पैतृक-सम्पत्तिलाई इन्‍कार गरेको छु । मैले मेरी प्रियलाई उसका शत्रुहरूका हातमा सुम्‍पेको छु ।
I have forsaken my house. I have cast off my heritage. I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 मेरो उत्तराधिकार मेरो निम्‍ति झाडीमा भएको सिंहजस्तै भएको छ । त्यो आफ्‍नै आवाजले त्‍यसले मलाई गर्जन्‍छ, त्यसैले म त्यसलाई घृणा गर्छु ।
My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.
9 के मैले मूल्‍य तिरेको उत्तराधिकार छिरबिरे सिकारी चराजस्तै बनेको छैन, जसका विरुद्धमा अरू सिकारी चराहरू आइलाग्‍छन्? जा र सबै जङ्गली जनावरहरूलाई जम्मा गर्, र त्यसलाई निल्न तिनीहरूलाई लिएर आइज ।
Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field; bring them to devour.
10 धेरै गोठालाहरूले मेरो दाखबारीलाई नष्‍ट पारेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मेरो खेतको भागलाई कुल्चेका छन् । मेरो खुशीको भागलाई उजाड-स्थान, तिनीहरूले निर्जन मरुभूमिमा परिणत गरेका छन् ।
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard. They have trodden my portion under foot. They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई उजाड पारेका छन् । म त्यसको निम्ति शोक गर्छु । त्यो उजाड छ । सारा देश उजाड पारिएको छ, किनकि यसलाई हृदयमा लिने कोही छैन ।
They have made it a desolation. It mourns to me, being desolate. The whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
12 विनाशकहरू उजाड-स्थानका सबै नाङ्गा स्थानहरूको विरुद्धमा आएका छन्, किनकि परमप्रभुको तरवारले तिनीहरूलाई देशको एउटा छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म नाश पार्दैछ । देशमा कुनै पनि जीवित प्राणीको लागि सुरक्षा छैन ।
Destroyers have come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness. For the sword of Jehovah devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land. No flesh has peace.
13 तिनीहरूले गहुँ रोपेका छन्, तर काँढा कटनी गरेका छन् । तिनीहरू काम गरेर थकित भएका छन्, तर केही आर्जन गरेका छैनन् । त्यसैले परमप्रभुको क्रोधको कारणले तिमीहरूको आर्जनप्रति लज्‍जित होओ ।”
They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns. They have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing. And ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
14 मैले आफ्‍ना मानिस इस्राएललाई उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा दिएको कुरामा प्रहार गर्ने मेरा सबै दुष्‍ट छिमेकीका विरुद्धमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “हेर, तिनीहरूको आफ्नै भूमिबाट जरैदेखि तिनीहरूलाई उखेल्ने लागेको मैले नै हो र यहूदाको घरानालाई म तिनीहरूका बिचबाट माथि तान्‍नेछु ।
Thus says Jehovah against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
15 त्‍यसपछि म ती जातिहरूलाई जरैदेखि उखेलेपछि म तिनीहरूलाई दया देखाउनेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनेछु । म हरेक मानिसलाई त्यसको आफ्नै उत्तराधिकार र देशमा फर्काएर ल्याउनेछु ।
And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them. And I will bring them again, each man to his heritage, and each man to his land.
16 तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई बाल देवताको नाउँमा शपथ खान सिकाएझैं तिनीहरूले 'जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा' शपथ खान सिकाएर ती जातिहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूका मार्गलाई होसियारीपूर्वक सिके भने, तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरूका बिचमा स्थापित हुनेछन् ।
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah lives, even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they shall be built up in the midst of my people.
17 तर कुनै जातिले सुनेन भने म त्यसलाई जरैदेखि उखेल्नेछु । त्‍यो निश्‍चय नै जरैदेखि उखेलिनेछ, र नष्‍ट गरिनेछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
But if they will not hear, then I will pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, says Jehovah.
