यर्मिया 22

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

The LORD said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:

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 ।

‘Hear the LORD’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who 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 ।

The LORD says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t 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 kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their 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 will 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 the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, 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 ।

I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will 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?'

“Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbour, ‘Why has the LORD done this 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 will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, 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 ।'

Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not 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 the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.

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

But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will 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 who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbour’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;

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 ।

who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.

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 ।

“Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? 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; so then it was well. Wasn’t 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 only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”

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 the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’

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

He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out 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 out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been 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 listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey 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 will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will 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 ।”

Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will 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, I would still pluck you from there.

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

I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar 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 ।

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

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

But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will 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 vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?

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

O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!

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 ।”

The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”
