यर्मिया 16
1 तब परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “यो ठाउँमा आफ्नो लागि पत्नी नले, र आफ्नो लागि छोराछोरी नजन्मा ।
Thou shalt not take thyself 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 hath said the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bear them, and concerning their fathers that beget 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 ।'
A death through diseases of famine shall they die; they shall not be lamented for; nor shall they be buried; for dung upon the face of the earth shall they be: and by the sword and by famine shall they come to their end; and their carcasses shall be for food unto the fowls of heaven, and unto 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 hath said the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor to condole with them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, yea, kindness and mercy.
6 यस देशमा साना र ठुला दुवै मर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई गाडिनेछैन, र कसैले पनि तिनीहरूको निम्ति शोक गर्ने वा आफूलाई काट्ने वा आफ्ना कपाल खौरनेछैन ।
And both the great and the small shall die in this land, — they shall not be buried, and men shall not 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 ।
Nor shall they break bread for them at their mourning, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall they give them to drink the cup of consolation for their father and for their mother.
8 तँ खान र पिउनलाई तिनीहरूसँगै बस्न भोजको घरमा तैंले जानुहुँदैन ।'
And into the house of feasting shalt thou not enter, 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 hath said 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 gladness, and the voice of joy, 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 should say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord spoken against us all this great evil? and what is our iniquity? and 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 ।
That thou shalt say unto them, Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord, and walked after other gods, and served them, and bowed down unto them, and me they forsook, and my law they kept not;
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 act worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so as not to hearken 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 hurl you out of this land into the land of which ye had no knowledge, neither ye nor your fathers; and ye will serve there other gods by day and by night; so that I will not grant you any favor.
14 त्यसकारण, हेर, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, यस्ता दिन आउँदैछन्, जुन बेला फेरि यसो भनिनेछैन, 'मिश्रदेशबाट इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई ल्याउनुहुने जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा ।'
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when it shall not he said any more, As the Lord liveth, who hath 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, who hath 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 cause them to return unto their land which I have given 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 fishermen, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after that will I 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 my eyes are directed upon all their ways, they are not hidden from my face, nor is their iniquity concealed from my 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 [thus] will I pay them at the first their two-fold iniquity and their sin; because they have defiled my land, filling my heritage with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.
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 fortress, and my refuge on the day of trouble, unto thee shall nations come from the ends of the earth, and say, Nothing but falsehood had our fathers inherited, vanity, wherein there is no profit.
20 के मानिसहरूले आफ्नै लागि ईश्वरहरू बनाउँछन् र? तर ति त ईश्वरहरू नै होइनन् ।”
How? can a man make unto himself gods, which are yet 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, at this time will I cause them to know, my hand and my might: and they shall know that my name is The Eternal.
