< 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 ।
You are righteous, LORD, when I contend with you; yet I would like to plead a case with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all 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 ।
You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You 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 you, LORD, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. 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 will the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? Because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals and birds are consumed; because they said, “He won’t 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 you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you 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 your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you! Even they have cried aloud after you! Don’t believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
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 all around? Go, assemble all the animals 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 one cares.
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 on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of the LORD 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 exhausted themselves, and profit nothing. You will be ashamed of your fruits, because of the LORD’s fierce anger.”
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 ।
The LORD says, “Concerning 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 ।
It will happen that after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them. I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every 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 ।
It will happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘As the LORD lives;’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the middle 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 the LORD.
