< यर्मिया 16 >
1 तब परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
The word of the LORD came also to me, saying,
2 “यो ठाउँमा आफ्नो लागि पत्नी नले, र आफ्नो लागि छोराछोरी नजन्मा ।
"You shall not take a wife, neither shall you 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 says the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father 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 grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals 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 says the LORD, 'Do not enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the LORD, even loving kindness and tender mercies.
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 great and 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 ।'
You shall 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Look, 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?'
It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, 'Why has 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 you shall tell them, 'Because your fathers have forsaken me, says the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped 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 you have done evil more than your fathers; for, look, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you do not listen 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 forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.'
14 त्यसकारण, हेर, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, यस्ता दिन आउँदैछन्, जुन बेला फेरि यसो भनिनेछैन, 'मिश्रदेशबाट इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई ल्याउनुहुने जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा ।'
Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that it shall no more be said, 'As the LORD lives, who 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 lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.' I will bring them again into their land that 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 ।
Look, I will send for many fishermen," says the LORD, "and they shall fish them up; 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 my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither 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 ।”
First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with 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 ।
"LORD, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the farthest parts of the earth, and shall say, 'Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 के मानिसहरूले आफ्नै लागि ईश्वरहरू बनाउँछन् र? तर ति त ईश्वरहरू नै होइनन् ।”
Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet 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 look, 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.
