यर्मिया 22

1 परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यहूदाको राजाको घरमा तल जा र त्यहाँ यो वचन घोषणा गर्,

Thus says the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,

2 यसो भन, 'ए यहूदाका राजा, तँ जो दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍छस्, तँ र तेरा सेवकहरू र यी ढोकाहरूद्वारा आउने तेरा मानिसहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।

And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sit on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people that enter in by these gates:

3 परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राख, अनि लुटिएको कुनै व्यक्तिलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेको हातबाट छुटकारा देओ । तिमीहरूको देशमा भएका कुनै पनि विदेशी वा अनाथ वा विधवालाई दुर्व्यवहार नगर । यस ठाउँमा हिंसा नगर वा निर्दोष रगत नबगाओ ।

Thus says the LORD; Execute you judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

4 तिमीहरूले साँच्‍चै यी कुरा गर्‍यौ भने, दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍ने राजाहरू, रथ र घोडाहरूमा सवार ऊ, उसका सेवकहरू र उसका मानिसहरू यी ढोकाहरूभित्र यो मन्‍दिरमा पस्‍नेछन् ।

For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

5 तर मैले घोषणा गरेका यी वचन तिमीहरूले सुन्‍दैनौ भने—यो राजदरबार भग्‍नावशेष हुनेछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो' ।”

But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

6 किनकि यहूदाका राजाको घरानाको बारेमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तँ मेरो लागि गिलाद वा लेबनानको टाकुराजस्तै छस् । तापनि म तँलाई उजाड-स्थान, मानिसहरू नबस्‍ने सहरहरूजस्तै तुल्याउनेछु ।

For thus says the LORD to the king’s house of Judah; You are Gilead to me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make you a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.

7 किनकि तेरो विरुद्धमा आउनलाई मैले विनाशकहरू तोकेको छु । मानिसहरूले आ-आफ्ना हतियारहरूले सबैभन्दा राम्रा-राम्रा देवदारुहरू काट्नेछन् र तिनलाई आगोमा जलाउने छन् ।

And I will prepare destroyers against you, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.

8 तब धेरै जातिहरू त्यस सहर भएर जानेछन् । एउटाले अर्कोलाई सोध्‍ने छ, 'यस महान् सहरप्रति परमप्रभुले किन यसरी व्यवहार गर्नुभएको होला?'

And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?

9 तब अर्कोले जवाफ दिनेछ, 'किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरको करारलाई त्यागे र अरू देवताहरूको सामु निहुरे र तिनीहरूको पुजा गरे ।”

Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.

10 मृत्‍यु भएको व्यक्तिको निम्‍ति नरोओ वा त्यसको निम्तो शोक गर, तर टाढा लगिन लागेको व्यक्तिप्रति धुरुधुरु रोओ, किनकि त्यो फेरि कहिल्यै फर्किने अनि आफ्नो जन्मभूमि देख्‍नेछैन ।'

Weep you not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

11 किनकि यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाज जसले आफ्ना पिता योशियाहको सट्टामा राजा भई सेवा गरे, तिनको बारेमा परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'ऊ यस ठाउँबाट गएको छ, र फर्केर आउनेछैन ।

For thus says the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:

12 जहाँ तिनीहरूले उसलाई कैद गरेर लगेका छन्, ऊ त्यहीं मर्नेछ, र उसले फेरि कहिल्यै यो देश देख्‍नेछैन ।'

But he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

13 जसले आफ्नो घर अधार्मिकता, आफ्ना माथिल्ला कोठाहरू अन्यायले बनाउँछ, जसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई सित्तैमा काम लगाउँछ, अनि जसले उसलाई ज्याला दिंदैन, त्‍यसलाई धिक्‍कार छ ।

Woe to him that builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and gives him not for his work;

14 उसले भन्छ, 'आफ्नो निम्ति माथिल्ला कोठाहरू फराकिलो भएको एउटा ठुलो महल म बनाउनेछु ।' त्यसले उसले त्‍यसको निम्‍ति ठुला-ठुला झ्यालहरू बनाउँछ र त्‍यसमा देवदारुका पल्लाहरू हाल्‍छ अनि उसले त्‍यसमा रातो रङ लगाऊँछ ।

That says, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cuts him out windows; and it is paneled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

15 के यही कुराले तँलाई असल राजा बनाउँछन्, कि तैंले देवदारुका फल्याकहरू पाउने इच्‍छा गरिस्? तेरा बाबुले पनि खाए र पिए, तापनि न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राखे, होइन र? त्यसको लागि असल कुराहरू नै भए ।

Shall you reign, because you close yourself in cedar? did not your father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?

16 उसले गरिबहरू र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूको पक्षमा न्याय गर्‍यो । त्यस बेला राम्रै भएको थियो । के मलाई चिन्‍नुको अर्थ यही होइन र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? says the LORD.

17 तर तेरो दृष्‍टि र हृदयमा बेइमान नाफा कमाउनु, निर्दोषहरूको रगत बगाउनु, अरूहरूलाई थिचोमिचो र अत्याचार गरेर कमाउनुबाहेक अरू केही छैन ।

But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

18 त्यसकारण यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको विषयमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः 'हाय, मेरा दाजु! हाय मेरी बहिनी!' भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यसको लागि विलाप गर्नेछैनन् । 'हाय, मेरा मालिक! हाय, उहाँको गौरव!' भन्दै तिनीहरूले त्यसको लागि विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।

Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!

19 त्यसलाई एउटा गधालाई गाडेझैं घिसारेर टाढा लगिन्‍छ र यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूको बाहिर फ्याँकिनेछ ।

He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

20 लेबनानका पहाडहरूमा उक्लेर जा र चर्को गरी करा । बाशानमा तेरो सोर निकाल् । अबारीम पहाडहरूबट चर्को गरी करा, किनकि तेरा सबै मित्रहरू नष्‍ट गरिनेछन् ।

Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all your lovers are destroyed.

21 तँ सुरक्षित हुँदा मैले तँसित बोलेँ, तर तैंले भनिस्, 'म सुन्‍ने छैनँ ।' तेरो युवावस्थादेखि यो तेरो चलन थियो, किनकि तैंले मेरो सोर सुनेको छैनस् ।

I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your manner from your youth, that you obeyed not my voice.

22 बतासले तेरा सबै गोठालालाई उडाएर लैजानेछ, र तेरा मित्रहरू निर्वासनमा लगिनेछन् । तब तेरा सबै दुष्‍ट कामद्वारा तँ निश्‍चय नै लज्‍जित हुनेछस्, र अपमानित हुनेछस् ।

The wind shall eat up all your pastors, and your lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shall you be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.

23 तँ जो 'लेबनान' मा बस्‍छस्, जुन देवदारुले बनेका घरहरू हुन्, प्रसव-वेदनमा भएकी स्‍त्रीलाई जस्तै तँमाथि पीडा आउँदा तँ कसरी तँमाथि दया गरिनेछ र ।”

O inhabitant of Lebanon, that make your nest in the cedars, how gracious shall you be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!

24 “यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, जस्तो म जीवित छु, ए यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमको छोरो यहोयाकीन, तँ मेरो हातको छाप-औंठी होस्, म तँलाई धुजाधुजा पार्नेछु ।

As I live, says the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck you there;

25 किनकि मैले तँलाई तेरो ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूको हातमा र जससँग तँ डराउँछस् तिनीहरूकै हातमा, बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर र कल्दीहरूको हातमा सुम्पिदिएको छु ।

And I will give you into the hand of them that seek your life, and into the hand of them whose face you fear, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26 तँलाई र तँलाई जन्म दिने तेरी आमालाई म आर्को देशमा फल्‍नेछु, जुन देशमा तँ जन्‍मेको थिइनस् र त्यहाँ तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ ।

And I will cast you out, and your mother that bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there shall you die.

27 यस देशको बारेमा जहाँ तिनीहरू फर्केर आउन इच्‍छा गर्नेछन्, तिनीहरू यहाँ फर्केर आउनेछैनन् ।

But to the land where they desire to return, thither shall they not return.

28 के यो तिरस्कृत र टुक्रटुक्रा भएको भाँडो हो? के यो मानिस यहोयाकीन एउटा त्‍यस्‍तो भाँडो हो जसले कसैलाई खुसी पार्दैन? ऊ र उसका सन्तानहरूलाई किन तिनीहरूले बाहिर फालेका छन् र तिनीहरूले नचिनेका देशमा तिनीहरूलाई पठाएका छन्?

Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?

29 ए देश, ए देश, ए देश! परमप्रभुको वचन सुन् ।

O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.

30 परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'यो मानिस यहोयाकीनको बारेमा लेखः ऊ सन्तानहीन हुनेछ । उसको आफ्नो जीवनकालमा उसले उन्‍नति गर्नेछैन, र उसका सन्तानहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि सफलता हासिले गर्नेछैनन्, वा फेरि कहिल्यै दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍नेछन् र यहूदामाथि राज्‍य गर्नेछन् ।”

Thus says the LORD, Write you this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
