यर्मिया 3
1 “कुनै पुरुषले आफ्नी पत्नीसित सम्बन्ध-विच्छेद गर्यो, र उसको जीवनबाट त्यो गई अनि अर्को पुरुषकी पत्नी भई भने, ऊ फेरि फर्केर त्योकहाँ जान्छ र? के त्यो देश औधी दुषित हुँदैन र? तँ धेरै प्रेमी भएकी वेश्याजस्तै भएर बसेको छेस् । के तँ मकहाँ फर्कन्छेस्? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
If a man divorces his wife and she goes and marries someone else, could he ever go back to her? Wouldn't the country be made totally unclean by this? But you have done worse by prostituting yourselves with many lovers, and now you want to come back to me? declares the Lord.
2 नाङ्गा डाँडाहरूतर्फ आफ्ना आँखा उठा र हेर् । के कुनै त्यस्तो ठाउँ छ, जहाँ तेरो अवैध यौनधन्दा छैन? एक जना अरबी उजाड-स्थानमा बसेझैं तँ आफ्ना प्रेमीहरूको प्रतीक्षा गर्दै बाटोका किनारहरूमा बस्छेस् । तेरो वेश्यावृत्ति र दुष्टताले तैंले देशलाई दुषित पारेको छेस् ।
Look up at the bare hilltops. Is there anywhere that you haven't had sex? You sat at the roadside like someone from the desert waiting for your lovers to pass by. You have made the land unclean with your prostitution and evil.
3 त्यसैले वर्षा थामिएको छ, र वसन्त ऋतुको पानी परेको छैन । तरै पनि तँसित वेश्याको निधार छ । तँ लज्जित हुन इन्कार गर्छेस् ।
That's why no showers have been sent, and no spring rains have fallen. But you just stare back shamelessly like a prostitute; you refuse to accept you've done anything wrong.
4 के भर्खरै मात्र तैंले मलाई पुकारिनस्, “हे मेरा पिता, मेरो युवावस्थादेखिको मेरो घनिष्ठ मित्र ।
Didn't you just tell me, “My father, you've been such a close friend to me since I was little.
5 के उहाँ सधैं रिसाउनुहुन्छ र? के उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोधलाई सधैं अन्त्यसम्म राख्नुहन्छ र?' हेर्! तैंले यसरी भनेको छेस्, तर तैंले त सके जति दुष्ट काम गर्छेस् ।”
You won't be angry with me for a long time, will you? You won't go on being like that forever?” This is what you've said, but you keep on sinning as much as you can.
6 तब राजा योशियाहको शासनकालमा परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासहीन इस्राएलले के गरेको छ, तँ देख्छस्? त्यो हरेक अग्लो डाँडा र हरेक झ्याम्म परेको रुखमुनि गएकी छ, र त्यहाँ त्यसले वेश्याले झैं काम गरेकी छ ।
During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord told me, Have you seen what unfaithful Israel has done? She has prostituted herself on every high hill and under every green tree.
7 मैले भनें, “यी सबै कुरा गरेपछि त्यो म कहाँ फर्कन्छे', तर त्यो फर्किन । तब त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदाले यी सबै देखी ।
I hoped that after she'd done all this she'd come back to me. But she didn't come back, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw what happened.
8 त्यसैले मैले देखेँ, त्यसरी नै त्यस विश्वासहीन इस्राएलले व्यभिचार गरेकी छे, र मैले त्यसलाई निकालेको छु, र त्यसको विरुद्धमा त्यागपत्र दिएको छु । त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदा डराइन । त्यो पनि गई र वेश्याले झैं काम गरी ।
She saw that because of everything unfaithful Israel had done on committing adultery, I sent her away, giving her a certificate of divorce. But her unfaithful sister Judah wasn't afraid and prostituted herself too.
9 त्यसको वेश्यावृत्ति त्यसको लागि केहीजस्तो भएन । त्यसले देशलाई दुषित पारी, र त्यसले ढुङ्गा र रुखहरूसित व्यभिचार गरी ।
Israel didn't care about the immorality, as she made herself and the land unclean, committing adultery by worshiping stones and trees.
10 यी सबै कुरापछि त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदा सारा हृदयले होइन तर झूट लिएर मकहाँ फर्की, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
Despite all this, her unfaithful sister Judah didn't come back to me in sincerity. She only pretended to do so, declares the Lord.
11 तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासहीन इस्राएल विश्वासहीन यहूदाभन्दा बढी धर्मी भएको छ ।
The Lord told me, Unfaithful Israel showed that she wasn't as guilty as unfaithful Judah.
12 जा र उत्तरलाई यी वचन घोषणा गर्, “'हे विश्वासहीन इस्राएल, फर्की' यो परमप्रभु घोषणा हो, 'म तँसित सधैं रिसाउनेछैनँ ।' परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, 'म विश्वासयोग्य भएको हुनाले म सदासर्वदा रिसाउनेछैन ।'
Now go and announce this message to the north: Come back, unfaithful Israel, declares the Lord. I won't be angry with you anymore, because I am merciful, declares the Lord. I won't be angry forever.
13 तेरो अधर्मलाई स्वीकार गर्, किनकि परमप्रभु तेरा परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा तैंले अपराध गरेको छस्, हरेक झ्याम्म परेको रुखमुनि तैंले परदेशीहरूसित तेरा मार्गहरू बाँडेको छस् । किनकि तैंले मेरो कुरा सुनेको छैनस्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Just admit you did wrong, that you rebelled against the Lord your God. You spread yourself around, committing adultery by worshiping foreign gods under every green tree, refusing to do what I told you, declares the Lord.
14 'ए विश्वासहीन जाति, फर्की' यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, 'म तेरा पति हुँ ।' सहरबाट एक जना र एउटा परिवारबाट दुई जना गरी म तँलाई लिनेछु र म तँलाई सियोनमा ल्याउनेछु ।
Come back, unfaithful children, declares the Lord, because I am married to you. I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and bring you to Zion.
15 मेरै जस्तो हृदय भएका गोठालाहरू म तँलाई दिनेछु, र ज्ञान र अन्तर्दृष्टिले तिनीहरूले तेरो हेरचाह गर्नेछन् ।
I will give you shepherds who are like me who will feed you wisely and with understanding.
16 तब ती दिनमा देशमा तेरो वृद्धि हुनेछ, र तैले फल फलाउनेछस् भनी परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । तिनीहरूले फेरि यसो भन्नेछैनन्, 'परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक' । फेरि यो विषय तिनीहरूका हृदयमा आउनेछैन, वा सम्झना हुनेछैन । यो गुम्नेछैन र अर्को बनाइनेछैन ।’
At that time as you increase in number in the country, declares the Lord, no one will be talking about the Ark of the Lord's Agreement anymore. People won't need to think about it or remember it or wonder what happened to it; and certainly won't need to make a new one.
17 त्यस बेला तिनीहरूले यरूशलेमको बारेमा घोषणा गर्ने छन्, 'यो परमप्रभुको सिंहासन हो ।' अनि अरू सबै जाति परमप्रभुको नाउँमा यरूशलेममा जम्मा हुनेछन् । अब उसो तिनीहरू तिनीहरूका दुष्ट हृदयको हठमा हिंड्नेछैनन् ।
When that time comes Jerusalem will be called the Throne of the Lord, and all the nations will come together in Jerusalem to honor the Lord. They won't be stubborn or wicked anymore.
18 ती दिनमा यहूदाको घराना इस्राएलको घरानासँगै हिंड्नेछ । तिनीहरू उत्तरको देशबाट मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई पैतृक-सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिएको देशमा सँगसँगै आउनेछन् ।
At that time the people of Judah will join with the people of Israel, and they will return from the land of the north to the country I gave to your forefathers to own.
19 मेरो बारेमा मैले भनें, 'मेरो छोरोको रूपमा म तिमीहरूलाई व्यवहार गर्न र तिमीहरूलाई मनमोहक देश दिन चाहन्छु । यो पैतृक-सम्पत्ति अन्य कुनै पनि जातिसित भएको भन्दा सुन्दर छ । मैले भन्ने थिएँ, ‘तिमीहरूले मलाई बोलाउनेछौ, 'हे मेरा पिता' । तिमीहरू मलाई पछ्याउनदेखि तर्कनेथिएनौ भनी मैले भन्ने थिएँ ।
I said to myself, I really want you to be my children, and to give you the best country, the most beautiful place of any nation. I hoped you would call me “Father,” and never give up following me.
20 तर आफ्नो पतिको लागि विश्वासहीन भएकी स्त्रीझैं, ए इस्राएलका घराना हो, तैंले मलाई धोका दिएको छस्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
But just like a wife might betray her husband, you have betrayed me, people of Israel, declares the Lord.
21 मैदानहरूमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको रुवाइ र चिच्च्याइको एउटा आवाज सुनिन्छ । किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मार्ग बद्लेका छन् । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सेका छन् ।
Voices are crying on bare hilltops—the Israelites weeping and pleading for mercy, because they have gone astray and forgotten the Lord their God.
22 “हे विश्वासहीन मानिस हो, फर्क । तिमीहरूको विश्वासघातलाई म निको पार्नेछु ।” “हेर्नुहोस्! हामी तपाईंकहाँ फर्कनेछौं किनकि तपाईं परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Come back, unfaithful children, and I will heal your unfaithfulness. “We're here! Yes, we're coming back to you, because you are the Lord our God.”
23 निश्चय नै डाँडाहरूबाट झूट आउँछ र पर्वतहरूबाट अलमल पार्ने आवाज आउँछ । निश्चय नै परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर इस्राएलको उद्धार हुनुहुन्छ ।
There's no doubt that pagan worship from the hills is pure lies; the idolatry that comes from the mountains is just noise. Israel's salvation is in the Lord our God alone.
24 तरै पनि लाजलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले परिश्रम गरेका तिनीहरूका बगाल, बथान, तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई भस्म पारेका छन् ।
All our lives pagan idolatry has destroyed what our fathers worked so hard for: their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
25 हामी लाजमा पल्टौं । हाम्रो लाजले हामीलाई ढाकोस्, किनकि हामीले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छौं । हाम्रो युवावस्थादेखि आजको दिनसम्म हामी र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको आवाजलाई सुनेका छैनौं ।”
We should lie down in shame, and have our disgrace bury us. We have sinned against the Lord our God, us and our fathers. From when we were young right up to now we have not obeyed what the Lord our God told us to do.
