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 put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? you you have gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and have returned 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 look] straight forward, and see where you have not been utterly defiled. You have sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and have defiled the land with your fornications and your wickedness.
3 त्यसैले वर्षा थामिएको छ, र वसन्त ऋतुको पानी परेको छैन । तरै पनि तँसित वेश्याको निधार छ । तँ लज्जित हुन इन्कार गर्छेस् ।
And you did retain many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself: you had a whore's face, you did become shameless toward all.
4 के भर्खरै मात्र तैंले मलाई पुकारिनस्, “हे मेरा पिता, मेरो युवावस्थादेखिको मेरो घनिष्ठ मित्र ।
Hast you not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of your virgin-time?
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 [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done these bad things, and had power [to do them].
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 ।
And the Lord said to me in the days of Josias the king, Hast you seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.
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 committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
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 that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
9 त्यसको वेश्यावृत्ति त्यसको लागि केहीजस्तो भएन । त्यसले देशलाई दुषित पारी, र त्यसले ढुङ्गा र रुखहरूसित व्यभिचार गरी ।
And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
10 यी सबै कुरापछि त्यसकी विश्वासहीन बहिनी यहूदा सारा हृदयले होइन तर झूट लिएर मकहाँ फर्की, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
11 तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासहीन इस्राएल विश्वासहीन यहूदाभन्दा बढी धर्मी भएको छ ।
And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
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 read these words toward the north, and you shall say, Return to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, says the Lord, and I will not be angry with you 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 ।
Nevertheless, know your iniquity, that you have sinned against the Lord your God, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every shady tree, but you did not listen to 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, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
15 मेरै जस्तो हृदय भएका गोठालाहरू म तँलाई दिनेछु, र ज्ञान र अन्तर्दृष्टिले तिनीहरूले तेरो हेरचाह गर्नेछन् ।
and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
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 that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] 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 ।
In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations 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 Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
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 ।
And I said, So be it, Lord, for [you said] I will set you among children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, You shall call me Father; and you 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 ।
But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, 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 from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
22 “हे विश्वासहीन मानिस हो, फर्क । तिमीहरूको विश्वासघातलाई म निको पार्नेछु ।” “हेर्नुहोस्! हामी तपाईंकहाँ फर्कनेछौं किनकि तपाईं परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be your servants; 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 the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by 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 ।
But shame has consumed the labors of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and 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 have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.
