< यर्मिया 17 >

1 “यहूदाको पाप हिराको निब भएको फलामको कलमले लेखिएको छ । त्‍यसलाई तिनीहरूका हृदयका पाटी र तिनका वेदीहरूका सिङहरूमा कुँदिएको छ ।
[Yahweh said, “It is as though a list of] the sins [committed by the people of] Judah is engraved with an iron chisel, or engraved using the fine point of a very hard stone, on the altars [where they worship idols]. And [it is as though] this list is engraved on their inner beings!
2 तिनीहरूका बालबालिकाले तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू र तिनीहरूका अशेराका खम्बाहरूलाई सम्झन्छन्, जुन झ्याम्म परेका रुखहरूका छेउमा र अग्ला पहाडहरूमा थिए ।
[Even] their children are happy to go to the altars [to worship their gods], and to the poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah [at which their parents worshiped], shrines that are underneath all the big trees and on [all] 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 ।
So, I will allow your enemies to capture [Zion], your holy hill, and all your wealth and your (treasures/valuable things), and [even] the shrines on all those hills, because of the sins that you people have committed throughout your land.
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 ।”
The [wonderful] land that I gave to you will no longer belong to you. I will tell your enemies to take you to a land that you do not know about, and you will become their slaves. [I will do that] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] a fire that will burn forever.”
5 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “मानव-जातिमा भरोसा गर्ने व्यक्ति श्रापित होस् । त्यसले शरीरलाई आफ्नो शक्ति सम्झन्छ, तर आफ्नो हृदय परमप्रभुबाट टाढा लैजान्छ ।
This is [also] what Yahweh says: “[I] will curse/condemn those who trust in human beings [to help them], those who rely on their own strength and turn away from me.
6 त्यो अराबाको पोथ्रोझैं हुनेछ, र त्यसले कुनै असल कुरो आइरहेको देख्‍ने छैन । त्यो बासिन्दा नभएको उजाडस्थान, सुख्‍खा भूमिका चट्टानहरूमा बस्‍नेछ ।
They are like [dry] bushes in the desert, they are people who will not experience any good things. Those people will live in the barren desert in a salty area, where nothing grows.
7 तर परमप्रभुमा भरोस गर्ने व्यक्ति धन्यको हो, किनकि परमप्रभु नै त्यसको दृढताको कारण हुनुहुन्छ ।
But I am pleased with those who trust in [me], Yahweh, and who confidently expect [me to take care of them].
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 ।
Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank, trees that have roots that go down into the [wet ground beside] the water. They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot, trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.
9 कुनै पनि कुराभन्दा हृदय बढी छली हुन्छ । यो रोगले ग्रस्त छ । यसलाई कसले बुझ्‍न सक्छ र?
Human minds are extremely corrupt/deceitful, and you cannot change that. It is also completely impossible [RHQ] for anyone to understand that.
10 मनको खोजी गर्ने, हृदयको जाँच गर्ने परमप्रभु म नै हुँ । हरेक व्यक्तिको आफ्नो चालअनुसार, त्यसका कामहरूको फलअनुसार म त्यसलाई इनाम दिन्छु ।
But I, Yahweh, search what is in everyone’s inner being, and I examine what they are thinking. I will give all people rewards, what they deserve for what they have done.”
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 ।”
[I, Jeremiah, agree, because I know that] people who become rich by doing things that are unjust are like birds that hatch eggs that they (did not lay/stole from another nest). So, when those people have lived only half of the years [that they expect to live], their wealth will disappear. Then [other people will realize that] those rich people have been foolish.
12 सुरुदेखि नै उच्‍च पारिएको हाम्रो मन्दिरको ठाउँ एउटा महिमित सिंहासन हो ।
Yahweh, your temple is [like] a glorious throne that is still on a high hill.
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 ।
You are the one whom [we] Israeli people confidently expect [to bless us], and all those who turn away from you will be disgraced. Their names will be written [only] in the dust, [and will soon disappear], because they have abandoned you, [who are like] [MET] a fountain where people obtain fresh water.
14 हे परमप्रभु, मलाई निको पार्नुहोस्, र म निको हुनेछु । मलाई छुटकारा दिनुहोस्, र मैले छुटकारा पाउनेछु । किनकि तपाईं नै मेरो प्रशंसाको गीत हुनुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh, [please] heal me, because [if you heal me], I will truly be healed. [If you] rescue me, I will truly be safe, because you are the [only] one whom I praise.
15 हेर्नुहोस्, तिनीहरू मलाई यसो भन्दैछन्, 'परमप्रभुको वचन कहाँ छ? त्‍यो आओस् ।'
People often ridicule me and say, “You tell us messages that you say came from Yahweh, but (why have the things that you predicted not happened?/those predictions have not come true!)” [RHQ]
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 ।
Yahweh, you [appointed me to take care of your people like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; I have not abandoned that work, and you know that I have not [previously] wanted this time of disaster [to come to people who ridicule me]. And you know everything that I have said [MTY] [to your people].
17 मेरो लागि त्रास नबन्‍नुहोस् । सङ्कष्‍टको दिनमा तपाईं नै मेरो शरणस्थान हुनुहुन्छ ।
Do not cause me to be terrified! When disasters come/occur, you are the one to whom I will go to be safe.
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 ।”
[So now], cause those who (persecute me/cause me to suffer) to be ashamed and dismayed, but do not [do things to me that will] cause me to be ashamed and dismayed. Cause them to be terrified! Do to them many things that will completely destroy them!
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 ।
This is what Yahweh said to me: “Go to the city gates in Jerusalem. [First] go to the gate where the kings of Judah go in and out of the city, and [then] go to each of the [other] gates.
20 तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'यी ढोकाहरूबाट आवातजावत गर्ने हे सबै यहूदाका राजा, यहूदाका सबै मानिस र यरूशलेमका हरेक बासिन्दा हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
Say to the people [at each gate], ‘You kings of Judah and everyone [else] who is living in Jerusalem and all [you other people of] Judah who enter these gates, listen to this message from Yahweh!
21 परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः आफ्‍नो जीवनको निम्‍ति होसियार होओ, र यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूमा ल्याउन शबाथ-दिनमा भारी नबोक ।
He says, “Listen to this warning carefully! [Stop doing work] on (Sabbath/our rest) days! Stop carrying loads through these gates [on those days]!
22 शबाथ-दिनमा आफ्‍ना घरबाट भारी बोकेर बाहिर नल्याओ । मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेझैं, शबाथ-दिनमा कुनै काम नगर्नू, तर त्यसलाई अलग गर्नू ।'”
Do not carry loads out of your houses or do any [other] work on Sabbath days! Instead, cause Sabbath days to be (holy/set apart for me). I commanded your ancestors to do that,
23 तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् वा ध्यानै दिएनन् । तिनीहरूले मेरा कुरा सुन्‍न नसकून् न त अनुशासनलाई स्वीकार गरून् भनेर तिनीहरू अटेरी भए ।
but they did not listen to me or obey me. When I did things to correct them, they stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said or to accept it.
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,
But I say that if you obey me, and if you do not carry loads through these gates [on Sabbath days] or do any other work on Sabbath days, and if you dedicate the Sabbath days to me,
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 ।
kings of Judah [MTY] and [their] officials will [continue to] go in and out of these gates. There will [always] be someone who is a descendant of [MTY] [King] David ruling [here] [MTY] in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates, riding in chariots and on horses, and there will be people living in this city forever.
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 people will come [to Jerusalem] bringing offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings. They will bring to the temple grain offerings and incense and offerings to thank [me]. People will bring those offerings from the towns in Judah and the villages near Jerusalem and from the land [where the tribe] of Benjamin [lives] and from the western foothills and from the desert in the south.
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 ।”
But if you do not pay attention to what I say, and if you refuse to dedicate the Sabbath days to me, and if you [continue to] carry loads through these gates into the city on Sabbath days, I will burn these gates completely. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out that fire.”’”
