यर्मिया 19
1 परमप्रभुले यसो भन्नुभयो, “जा र तँ मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरूसित हुँदा कुमालेको माटोको भाँडो किन् ।
Thus saith Jehovah: Go and buy an earthen bottle of the potter, And take with thee the elders of the people, And the elders of the priests,
2 त्यसपछि बेन-हिन्नोमको बेँसीमा भएको फुटेको भाँडाको ढोकामा जा र मैले तँलाई बताउने वचनहरू त्यहाँ घोषणा गर ।
And go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, At the entrance of the pottery-gate, And proclaim there the words Which I shall speak to thee.
3 यसो भन्, 'हे यहूदाका राजाहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, मैले यस ठाउँमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनै लागेको छु, र यस विषयमा सुन्ने हरेकको कान झनझनाउने छ ।
Say, Hear the word of Jehovah, Ye kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am about to bring such an evil upon this place, That whoever heareth of it, his ears shall tingle.
4 तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागेका र यस ठाउँलाई अपवित्र तुल्याका हुनाले म यसो गर्ने छु । यही ठाउँमा आफूले नचिनेका अन्य देवताहरूलाई तिनीहरूले बलिदान चढाउँछन् । तिनीहरू, तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू र यहूदाका राजाहरूले यही ठाउँमा निर्दोष रगत पनि बगाएका छन् ।
For they have forsaken me, And have alienated this place, And have burned incense in it to strange gods, Which neither they, nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, And have filled this place with the blood of innocent children,
5 आफ्ना छोराहरू बाल देवतालाई आगोमा होमबलिको रूपमा चढाउन तिनीहरूले त्यसका अग्ला ठाउँहरू बनाए, यस्तो कुनै कुरो जुन मैले आज्ञा गरिनँ वा बताइनँ न त मेरो मनमा नै थियो ।
And have built high places to Baal, To burn their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings to Baal; Which I ordained not, and commanded not, And which never came into my mind.
6 त्यसकारण, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर्, त्यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, त्यति बेला यस ठाउँलाई तोपेत अर्थात् बेन-हिन्नोमको बेँसी भनिनेछैन, तर हत्याको बेँसी भनिनेछ ।
Therefore, behold, the days are coming, saith Jehovah, When this place shall no more be called Tophet, Nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, But the valley of Slaughter.
7 यही ठाउँमा म यहूदा र यरूशलेमका योजनाहरूलाई बेकम्मा तुल्याउनेछु । म तिनीहरूका आफ्ना शत्रुको तरवार र तिनीहरूको ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूको हातद्वारा नष्ट गर्नेछु । त्यसपछि म तिनीहरूका लाशहरू आकाशका चराहरू र जमिनका जनावरहरूलाई आहाराको रूपमा दिनेछु ।
For I will in this place bring to naught the plans of Judah and Jerusalem, And I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, And by the hands of them that seek their lives; And their dead bodies will I give for food To the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.
8 अनि म यस सहरलाई भग्नावशेष र गिल्लाको वस्तु बनाउनेछु, किनकि यसबाट भएर जाने हरेकले यी सबै विपत्ति देखेर डराउनेछ र गिल्ला गर्नेछ ।
And I will make this city a wonder and a hissing; Every one that passeth by it shall wonder and hiss, On account of all its plagues.
9 तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै छोराछोरीको मासु खाने म बनाउनेछु । तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरू र तिनीहरूको ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूद्वारा ल्याइएको घेराबन्दी र सङ्कष्टमा हरेक मानिसले आफ्नै छिमेकीको मासु खानेछ ।”
For I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and of their daughters, Yea, the flesh of each other shall they eat, In the straitness and the distress With which their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall press them.
10 “तब तँसगै गएका मानिसहरूका आँखाकै सामु तैंले त्यो माटोको भाँडा फुटाइदे ।
Then break thou the bottle Before the eyes of the men that go with thee.
11 तैंले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः जसरी यो माटोको भाँडो फेरि मर्मत हुनै नसक्ने गरी यर्मियाले फुटाएको छ, त्यसरी नै म यी मानिस र यस सहरलाई गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । अरू बढी लासहरू गाड्ने ठाउँ नभएसम्म नै मानिसहरूले तोपेतमा लासहरू गाड्नेछन् ।
And say to them: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, As one breaks a potter's vessel which cannot be made whole again; And they shall be buried in Tophet, till there is no room to bury.
12 मैले यो सहरलाई तोपेतजस्तै बनाउँदा यो ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दालाई म यसै गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो,
Thus will I do to this place and to its inhabitants, saith Jehovah, And I will make this city itself like Tophet;
13 यसरी, यरूशलेमका घरानाहरू र यहूदाका राजाहरू, ती सबै घर जसका कौसीहरूमा अशुद्ध मानिसहरूले आकाशमण्डलका सबै ताराहरूको पुजा गरे र अरू देवताहरूलाई अर्घबलि चढाए, तिनीहरू तोपेतजस्तै हुनेछन्' ।”
And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be unclean, like the place of Tophet, All the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, And poured out drink-offerings to strange gods.
14 तब यर्मिया तोपेतबाट गए, जहाँ अगमवाणी बोल्न परमप्रभुले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएको थियो । तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको चोकमा खडा भए र तिनले सबै मानिसलाई भने,
Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, Whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, And stood in the court of the house of Jehovah, And said to all the people:
15 “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, मैले यो सहर र यसका सबै नगरहरूको विरुद्धमा घोषणा गरेका सबै विपत्ति ल्याउनै लागेकोछु, किनकि तिनीहरू अटेरी भए र मेरा वचन सुन्न इन्कार गरे' ।”
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am about to bring upon this city, and upon all the cities belonging to it, All the evil which I have pronounced against it; For they have made their necks stiff, And refused to hearken to my words.
