यर्मिया 16

1 तब परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying:

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

Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters 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 bore them, and concerning their fathers that begot 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 deaths; they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried, they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcasses shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

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 ।

For thus saith the LORD: Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away My peace from this people, saith the LORD, even mercy and compassion.

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

Both the great and the small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried; neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald 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 ।

neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

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

And thou shalt not go into the house of feasting 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 of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth 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 tell this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee: 'Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against 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 shalt thou say unto them: 'Because your fathers have forsaken Me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken Me, and have not kept 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 have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto 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 will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; forasmuch as I will show you no favour.'

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, that it shall no more be said: 'As the LORD liveth, 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: 'As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither He had driven them'; and I will bring them back into their land that I gave unto 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 for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts 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, they are not hid from My face; Neither is their iniquity concealed 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 first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have profaned My land; they have filled Mine inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable things and their abominations.

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, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge, in the day of affliction, unto Thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say: 'Our fathers have inherited nought but lies, vanity and things wherein there is no profit.'

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

Shall a man make unto himself gods, and they 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 cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know My hand and My might; and they shall know that My name is the LORD.
