यर्मिया 17

1 “यहूदाको पाप हिराको निब भएको फलामको कलमले लेखिएको छ । त्‍यसलाई तिनीहरूका हृदयका पाटी र तिनका वेदीहरूका सिङहरूमा कुँदिएको छ ।

“The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Engraved on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,

2 तिनीहरूका बालबालिकाले तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू र तिनीहरूका अशेराका खम्बाहरूलाई सम्झन्छन्, जुन झ्याम्म परेका रुखहरूका छेउमा र अग्ला पहाडहरूमा थिए ।

As their sons remember their altars and their Asherim, By the green tree, by the high hills.

3 आफ्‍ना सबै इलाकामा तिमीहरूले गरेका पापको कारणले तिमीहरूका अग्ला ठाउँहरूसँगै खुला देशमा भएको मेरो पर्वत र तिमीहरूका धन-सम्पत्ति र तिमीहरूका सबै खजाना म लुटको मालको रूपमा दिनेछु ।

O My mountain in the field—your strength, All your treasures—I give for a prey, Your high places for sin in all your borders.

4 मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएको उत्तराधिकार तिमीहरूले गुमाउने छौ । तिमीहरूले नचिनेको देशमा म तिमीहरूलाई आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूको दास तुल्याउनेछु, किनकि तिमीहरूले मेरो क्रोधमा आगो सल्काएका छौ, जुन सदासर्वदा बल्‍नेछ ।”

And you have let go—even through yourself, Of your inheritance that I gave to you, And I have caused you to serve your enemies, In a land that you have not known, For you have kindled a fire in My anger, It burns for all time.”

5 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “मानव-जातिमा भरोसा गर्ने व्यक्ति श्रापित होस् । त्यसले शरीरलाई आफ्नो शक्ति सम्झन्छ, तर आफ्नो हृदय परमप्रभुबाट टाढा लैजान्छ ।

Thus said YHWH: “Cursed [is] the man who trusts in man, And has made flesh his arm, And whose heart turns from YHWH.

6 त्यो अराबाको पोथ्रोझैं हुनेछ, र त्यसले कुनै असल कुरो आइरहेको देख्‍ने छैन । त्यो बासिन्दा नभएको उजाडस्थान, सुख्‍खा भूमिका चट्टानहरूमा बस्‍नेछ ।

And he has been as a naked thing in a desert, And does not see when good comes, And has inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.

7 तर परमप्रभुमा भरोस गर्ने व्यक्ति धन्यको हो, किनकि परमप्रभु नै त्यसको दृढताको कारण हुनुहुन्छ ।

Blessed [is] the man who trusts in YHWH, And whose confidence has been YHWH.

8 त्यो पानीको छेउमा रोपिएको बिरुवाजस्तै हुनेछ । यसका जरा खोलाको किनारमा फैलिएको हुनेछन् । जब ताप आउँछ तब त्‍यो डराउनेछैन, किनकि यसका पात सधैं हरिया हुन्छन् । खडेरीको वर्षमा यो चिन्तित हुँदैन, र यसले फल फलाउन छोड्‍दैन ।

And has been as a tree planted by waters, And he sends forth his roots by a stream, And he does not see when heat comes, And his leaf has been green, And he is not sorrowful in a year of scarcity, Nor does he cease from making fruit.

9 कुनै पनि कुराभन्दा हृदय बढी छली हुन्छ । यो रोगले ग्रस्त छ । यसलाई कसले बुझ्‍न सक्छ र?

The heart [is] deceitful above all things, And it [is] incurable—who knows it?

10 मनको खोजी गर्ने, हृदयको जाँच गर्ने परमप्रभु म नै हुँ । हरेक व्यक्तिको आफ्नो चालअनुसार, त्यसका कामहरूको फलअनुसार म त्यसलाई इनाम दिन्छु ।

I, YHWH, search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

11 तित्रोले आफूले नपारेको अण्डा ओथ्रने काम गर्छ । कोही मानिस अन्यायपूर्वक धनी बन्‍न सक्छ, तर त्‍यसका आधा उमेर सकिन्‍छन् तब ती धनले त्यसलाई छाड्नेछन्, र अन्त्यमा त्यो मूर्ख हुनेछ ।”

A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he forsakes it, And in his latter end—he is a fool.”

12 सुरुदेखि नै उच्‍च पारिएको हाम्रो मन्दिरको ठाउँ एउटा महिमित सिंहासन हो ।

A throne of glory on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,

13 परमप्रभु नै इस्राएलको आशा हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंलाई त्याग्‍नेहरू सबै लाजमा पर्नेछन् । देशमा तपाईंबाट तर्केर जानेहरू धुलोमा लेखिनेछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु, जिउँदो पानीको मूललाई त्यागेका छन् ।

The hope of Israel [is] YHWH, All forsaking You are ashamed. “And My apostates are written in the earth, For they have forsaken YHWH, A fountain of living waters.”

14 हे परमप्रभु, मलाई निको पार्नुहोस्, र म निको हुनेछु । मलाई छुटकारा दिनुहोस्, र मैले छुटकारा पाउनेछु । किनकि तपाईं नै मेरो प्रशंसाको गीत हुनुहुन्छ ।

Heal me, O YHWH, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, For You [are] my praise.

15 हेर्नुहोस्, तिनीहरू मलाई यसो भन्दैछन्, 'परमप्रभुको वचन कहाँ छ? त्‍यो आओस् ।'

Behold, they are saying to me: “Where [is] the word of YHWH? Pray, let it come.”

16 मेरो बारेमा, म तपाईंको अनुसरण गरेर गोठालो हुनदेखि भागेर म गइन । मैले विपत्तिको समयको प्रतीक्षा गरिनँ । मेरो जिब्रोबाट निस्केको घोषणाहरू तपाईं जान्‍नुहुन्छ । ती तपाईंकै उपस्थितिमा गरिएका थिए ।

And I did not hurry from feeding after You, And I have not desired the desperate day, You have known the produce of my lips, It has been before Your face,

17 मेरो लागि त्रास नबन्‍नुहोस् । सङ्कष्‍टको दिनमा तपाईं नै मेरो शरणस्थान हुनुहुन्छ ।

Do not be to me for a terror, You [are] my hope in a day of calamity.

18 मेरो पिछा गर्नेहरू लाजमा परून्, तर मलाई लज्‍जित हुन नदिनुहोस् । तिनीहरू त्रासमा परून्, तर मलाई त्रासमा पर्न नदिनुहोस् । तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा विपत्तिको दिन पठाउनुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई विनाशको दोब्बर भागले टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुहोस् ।”

Let my pursuers be ashamed, And do not let me be ashamed—me! Let them be frightened, And do not let me be frightened—me! Bring in on them a day of calamity, And destroy them a second time [with] destruction.

19 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “जा र मानिसहरूका मूल ढोकामा खडा हो, जहाँबाट यहूदाका राजाहरू प्रवेश गर्छन् र जहाँबाट तिनीहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन् । त्यसपछि यरूशलेमका अन्य सबै ढोकामा खडा हो ।

Thus said YHWH to me: “Go, and you have stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,

20 तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'यी ढोकाहरूबाट आवातजावत गर्ने हे सबै यहूदाका राजा, यहूदाका सबै मानिस र यरूशलेमका हरेक बासिन्दा हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।

and you have said to them: Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,”

21 परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः आफ्‍नो जीवनको निम्‍ति होसियार होओ, र यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूमा ल्याउन शबाथ-दिनमा भारी नबोक ।

Thus said YHWH: “Take heed to yourselves, And you do not bear a burden on the day of rest, Nor have you brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.

22 शबाथ-दिनमा आफ्‍ना घरबाट भारी बोकेर बाहिर नल्याओ । मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेझैं, शबाथ-दिनमा कुनै काम नगर्नू, तर त्यसलाई अलग गर्नू ।'”

Nor do you take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Indeed, you do not do any work, And you have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.

23 तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् वा ध्यानै दिएनन् । तिनीहरूले मेरा कुरा सुन्‍न नसकून् न त अनुशासनलाई स्वीकार गरून् भनेर तिनीहरू अटेरी भए ।

And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.

24 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, तिमीहरूले साँच्‍चै मेरो कुरा सुन्यौ र शबाथ-दिनमा यस सहरका ढोकाहरूसम्म भारी बोकेर ल्‍याएनौ तर शबाथ-दिनलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गर्‍यौ र त्‍यसमा कुनै काम गरेनौ भने,

And it has been, if you certainly listen to Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So as not to bring in a burden by the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do any work in it—

25 राजाहरू, राजकुमारहरू, यहूदाका मानिसहरू, यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू, तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरू र दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍नेहरू रथहरू र घोडाहरूमा चढेर यस सहरका ढोकाहरूमा आउनेछन्, अनि यो सहरमा सदासर्वदा मानिसको बसोबास हुनेछ ।

Then kings and princes have entered by the gates of this city, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city has remained for all time.

26 तिनीहरू यहूदाका सहरहरूबाट, यरूशलेमका चारैतिरबाट, बेन्यामीन इलाका र तराइबाट, पहाडहरूबाट र नेगेवबाट आउनेछन्, र तिनीहरूले होमबलि र बलिदानहरू, अन्‍नबलि र धुप, धन्यवादका बलिहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याउनेछन् ।

And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from outskirts of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, And from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of YHWH.

27 तर तिमीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेनौ, शबाथ-दिनलाई अलग गरेनौ र त्यस दिन गर्‍हौँ भारी नबोक भन्‍दा मानेनौ र यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूभित्र प्रवेश गर्‍यौ भने, तब म यसका ढोकाहरूमा आगो सल्काउनेछु, र त्‍यसले यरूशलेमका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ, र त्‍यसलाई निभाउन सकिंदैन ।”

And if you do not listen to Me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it has consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!”
