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 ।
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return to her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but you have played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, says 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 ।
Lift up your eyes to the high places, and see where you have not been lien with. In the ways have you sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your prostitutions and with your wickedness.
3 त्यसैले वर्षा थामिएको छ, र वसन्त ऋतुको पानी परेको छैन । तरै पनि तँसित वेश्याको निधार छ । तँ लज्जित हुन इन्कार गर्छेस् ।
Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; and you had a whore’s forehead, you refused to be ashamed.
4 के भर्खरै मात्र तैंले मलाई पुकारिनस्, “हे मेरा पिता, मेरो युवावस्थादेखिको मेरो घनिष्ठ मित्र ।
Will you not from this time cry to me, My father, you are the guide of my youth?
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 ।”
Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil things as you could.
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 ।
The LORD said also to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she is gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot.
7 मैले भनें, “यी सबै कुरा गरेपछि त्यो म कहाँ फर्कन्छे', तर त्यो फर्किन । तब त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदाले यी सबै देखी ।
And I said after she had done all these things, Turn you to me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
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 ।
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 त्यसको वेश्यावृत्ति त्यसको लागि केहीजस्तो भएन । त्यसले देशलाई दुषित पारी, र त्यसले ढुङ्गा र रुखहरूसित व्यभिचार गरी ।
And it came to pass through the lightness of her prostitution, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 यी सबै कुरापछि त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदा सारा हृदयले होइन तर झूट लिएर मकहाँ फर्की, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to me with her whole heart, but feignedly, says the LORD.
11 तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासहीन इस्राएल विश्वासहीन यहूदाभन्दा बढी धर्मी भएको छ ।
And the LORD said to me, The backsliding Israel has justified herself more than treacherous 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 ।'
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, you backsliding Israel, says the LORD; and I will not cause my anger to fall on you: for I am merciful, said the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
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 ।
Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice, says 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 ।
Turn, O backsliding children, says the LORD; for I am married to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 मेरै जस्तो हृदय भएका गोठालाहरू म तँलाई दिनेछु, र ज्ञान र अन्तर्दृष्टिले तिनीहरूले तेरो हेरचाह गर्नेछन् ।
And I will give you pastors according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and 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 ।’
And it shall come to pass, when you be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
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 ।
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 ती दिनमा यहूदाको घराना इस्राएलको घरानासँगै हिंड्नेछ । तिनीहरू उत्तरको देशबाट मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई पैतृक-सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिएको देशमा सँगसँगै आउनेछन् ।
In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance to your fathers.
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 ।
But I said, How shall I put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, You shall call me, My father; and shall not turn away from me.
20 तर आफ्नो पतिको लागि विश्वासहीन भएकी स्त्रीझैं, ए इस्राएलका घराना हो, तैंले मलाई धोका दिएको छस्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says the LORD.
21 मैदानहरूमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको रुवाइ र चिच्च्याइको एउटा आवाज सुनिन्छ । किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मार्ग बद्लेका छन् । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सेका छन् ।
A voice was heard on the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have 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 ।
Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come to you; for 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 ।
Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 तरै पनि लाजलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले परिश्रम गरेका तिनीहरूका बगाल, बथान, तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई भस्म पारेका छन् ।
For shame has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their 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 lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
