यर्मिया 16

1 तब परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

And thou shalt not take a wife, saith the Lord God of Israel:

2 “यो ठाउँमा आफ्नो लागि पत्‍नी नले, र आफ्नो लागि छोराछोरी नजन्मा ।

and there shall be no son born to thee, nor daughter in this place.

3 किनकि यस ठाउँमा जन्मने छोराहरू र छोरीहरू, तिनीहरूलाई जन्माउने आमाहरू र तिनीहरूलाई यस देशमा जन्मने पार्ने बाबुलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ,

For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that have born them, and concerning their fathers that have begotten them in this land;

4 'तिनीहरू रोग लागेरले मर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका निम्ति शोक गरिने वा गाडिनेछैन । तिनीहरू जमिनमा गोबरजस्तै हुनेछन् । किनकि तरवार र अनिकालले तिनीहरूको अन्त्य हुनेछ, र तिनीहरूका लाशहरू आकाशका चराहरू र जमिनका पशुहरूका लागि आहार हुनेछन् ।'

They shall die of grievous death; they shall not be lamented, nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky: they shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.

5 किनकि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो, “शोक भएको घरमा प्रवेश नगर् । तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति शोक गर्न वा सहानुभूति देखाउन नजा, किनकि यी मानिसबाट मैले आफ्‍नो शान्ति, मेरो अचुक प्रमे र कृपा लिएर गएको छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।

Thus saith the Lord, Enter not into their mourning feast, and go not to lament, and mourn not for them: for I have removed my peace from this people.

6 यस देशमा साना र ठुला दुवै मर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई गाडिनेछैन, र कसैले पनि तिनीहरूको निम्ति शोक गर्ने वा आफूलाई काट्ने वा आफ्ना कपाल खौरनेछैन ।

They shall not bewail them, nor make cuttings for them, and they shall not shave themselves [for them]:

7 मृत्युको कारणले तिनीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन शोकमा कसैले पनि खानेकुरा नबाँडोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन कसैले पनि त्यसका बाबु वा त्यसकी आमालाई सान्त्वनाको कचौरा नदेओस् ।

and there shall be no bread broken in mourning for them for consolation over the dead: they shall not give one to drink a cup for consolation over his father or his mother.

8 तँ खान र पिउनलाई तिनीहरूसँगै बस्‍न भोजको घरमा तैंले जानुहुँदैन ।'

Thou shalt not enter into the banquet-house, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

9 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, तेरै आँखाको सामु, तेरै समयमा यसै ठाउँमा मैले आनन्दको सोर, खुसीको सोर, दुलहीको सोर र दुलहाको सोरको अन्त्य गर्नै लागेकोछु ।'

For thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] make to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

10 तब तैंले यी सबै वचन यी मानिसलाई भन्‍नेछस्, र तिनीहरूले तँलाई भन्‍नेछन्, 'परमप्रभुले किन हाम्रो विरुद्धमा यो सबै ठुला विपत्तिको आदेश दिनुभएको छ? परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्धमा हामीले गरेका अपराध र पाप के हो?'

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt report to this people all these words, and they shall say to thee, Wherefore has the Lord pronounced against us all these evils? what is our unrighteousness? and what is our sin which we have sinned before the Lord our God?

11 त्यसैले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले मलाई त्यागे र तिनीहरू अरू देवताहरूको पछि गए र पुजा गरे, र तिनीहरूको सामु निहुरे, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागे र र मेरो व्यवस्था पालन गरेका छैनन् ।

Then thou shalt say to them, Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord, and went after strange gods and served them, and worshipped them, and forsook me, and kept not my law;

12 तर तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले भन्दा तिमीहरूले अझै धेरै दुष्‍ट काम गरेका छौ, किनकि हेर, प्रत्‍येक व्यक्ति आफ्‍नो दुष्‍ट हृदयको कठोरताद्वारा हिंडेको छ । मेरो कुरा सुन्‍ने कोही छैन ।

(and ye sinned worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the lusts of your own evil heart, so as not to hearken to me);

13 त्यसैले यस देशबाट तिमीहरूले नचिनेको, न तिमीहरूले, न त तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले चिनेको देशमा म तिमीहरूलाई फाल्‍नेछु, र त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले दिनरात अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गर्नेछौ, किनकि म तिमीहरूलाई कुनै कृपा गर्नेछैनँ ।'

therefore I will cast you off from this good land into a land which neither ye nor your fathers have known; and ye shall serve their other gods, who shall have no mercy upon you.

14 त्यसकारण, हेर, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, यस्‍ता दिन आउँदैछन्, जुन बेला फेरि यसो भनिनेछैन, 'मिश्रदेशबाट इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई ल्याउनुहुने जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा ।'

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

15 तर यसो भनिनेछ, 'इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई उत्तरको देश र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तितर-बितर पार्नुभएका देशहरूबाट ल्याउनुहुने जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा ।' किनकि मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको देशमा म तिनीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्‍याउनेछु ।

but, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel from the land of the north, and from all countries whither they were thrust out: and I will restore them to their own land, which I gave to their fathers.

16 हेर, म धेरै मछुवालाई पठाउनेछु, र यसरी तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई पक्रनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । यसपछि म धेरै सिकारीलाई पठाउनेछु, र तिनीहरूले पहाडहरू र पर्वतहरूका बिचमा अनि चट्टानका धाँदोमा तिनीहरूको सिकार गर्नेछन् ।

Behold, I [will] send many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt them upon every mountain, and upon every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

17 किनकि मेरो दृष्‍टि तिनीहरूका सबै मार्गमा परेको छ । ति मेरो सामुबाट लुक्‍न सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरूका अधर्म मेरा आँखाको सामुबाट लुकाउन सकिंदैन ।

For mine eyes are upon all their ways; and their iniquities have not been hidden from mine eyes.

18 तिनीहरूका अपराध र पापको निम्‍ति म तिनीहरूलाई दोब्बर दण्ड दिनेछु, किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना घिनलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूले मेरो देश अपवित्र पारेका छन्, र मेरो उत्तराधिकारलाई आफ्ना घिनलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूले भरेका छन् ।”

And I will recompense their mischiefs doubly, and their sins, whereby they have profaned my land with the carcases of their abominations, and with their iniquities, whereby they have trespassed against mine inheritance.

19 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो किल्ला र मेरो शरणस्थान, सङ्कष्‍टको दिनमा मेरो सुरक्षाको स्थान हुनुहुन्छ । पृथ्वीका कुनाबाट जातिहरू तपाईंकहाँ आउनेछन् र भन्‍नेछन्, “निश्‍चय नै हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले छललाई अधिकार गरे । तिनीहरू रित्ता छन् । तिनीहरूमा कुनै लाभ छैन ।

O Lord, thou art my strength, and mine help, and my refuge in days of evil: to thee the Gentiles shall come from the end of the earth, and shall say, How vain [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured to themselves, and there is no help in them.

20 के मानिसहरूले आफ्नै लागि ईश्‍वरहरू बनाउँछन् र? तर ति त ईश्‍वरहरू नै होइनन् ।”

Will a man make gods for himself, whereas these are no gods?

21 त्यसकारण हेर्, यस पटक म तिनीहरूलाई जान्‍न लगाउनेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई मेरो हात र मेरो शक्ति जान्‍न लगाउनेछु, यसरी परमप्रभु नै मेरो नाउँ हो भनेर तिनीहरूले जान्‍नेछन् ।

Therefore, behold, I will at this time manifest my hand to them, and will make known to them my power; and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
