यर्मिया 31
1 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “त्यस बेला म इस्राएलका सबै वंशको परमेश्वर हुनेछु, र तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन् ।”
“In that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
2 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “तरवारबाट बाँचेका मानिसहरूले उजाड-स्थानमा निगाह प्राप्त गरेका छन् । इस्राएललाई विश्राम दिन म बाहिर निस्कनेछु ।”
Thus says the Lord: “The people who had remained after the sword, found grace in the desert. Israel will go to his rest.”
3 विगतमा परमप्रभु मकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “ए इस्राएल, मैले तँलाई अनन्त प्रेमले प्रेम गरेको छु । त्यसैले मैले तँलाई करारको विश्वसनीयताले मतिर खिँचेको छु ।
The Lord appeared to me from a distance: “And I have loved you in perpetual charity. Therefore, showing pity, I have drawn you.
4 ए कन्या इस्राएल, म तँलाई फेरि निर्माण गर्नेछु, यसरी तँ निर्माण हुनेछस् । तैंले फेरि आफ्ना खैँजडीहरू लिनेछस् र खुसीको नाचसहित बाहर निस्कनेछस् ।
And I will build you up again. And you shall be built up, O virgin of Israel. Still shall you be adorned with your timbrels, and still shall you go forth to the singing of those who play.
5 सामरियाका पहाडहरूमा तैंले फेरि दाखबारीहरू लगाउनेछस् । किसानहरूले रोप्नेछन्, र फललाई असलको उद्धेश्यको लागि प्रयोग गर्नेछन् ।
Still shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and they will not gather the vintage until the time arrives.
6 किनकि एक दिन आउनेछ, जुन बेला एफ्राइमका पहाडहरूका पहरेदारहरूले घोषणा गर्नेछन्, 'उठ, हामी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरकहाँ सियोनमा जाऔं' ।”
For there will be a day on which the guardians on mount Ephraim will cry out: ‘Arise! And let us ascend on Zion to the Lord our God!’”
7 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “याकूबको निम्ति आनन्दले कराओ । जातिहरूका मानिसहरूका प्रमुखको लागि खुसीले चिच्च्याओ । प्रशंसा सुनियोस् । यसो भन, 'परमप्रभुले आफ्ना जाति, इस्राएलका बाँकी रहेकाहरूलाई उद्धार गर्नुभएको छ ।'
For thus says the Lord: “Exult in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles. Shout, and sing, and say: ‘O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’
8 हेर, मैले तिनीहरूलाई उत्तरी देशहरूबाट फर्काएर ल्याउनै लागेको छु । म तिनीहरूलाई पृथ्वीका पल्ला छेउहरूबाट जम्मा गर्नेछु । तिनीहरूका बिचमा दृष्टिविहीन र लङ्गडाहरू हुनेछन् । गर्भवती स्त्रीहरू र बच्चा जन्माउनै लागेकाहरू तिनीहरूसितै हुनेछन् । एउटा ठुलो समुदाय यहाँ फर्कनेछ ।
Behold, I will lead them from the land of the north, and I will gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, she who is with child, together with she who is giving birth: a great assembly returning to this place.
9 तिनीहरू रुँदै आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना बिन्ती बिसाउँदा म तिनीहरूलाई अगुवाइ गर्नेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई सिधा मार्गमा पानीका खोलाहरूबाट यात्रा गराउनेछु । तिनीहरू यसमा ठोकिनेछैनन्, किनकि म इस्राएलको पिता हुनेछु, र एफ्राइम मेरो जेठो छोरा हुनेछ ।”
They will approach with weeping. And I will lead them back with mercy. And I will lead them through the torrents of water, by an upright way, and they will not stumble in it. For I have become Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.”
10 “हे जातिहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । टाढाका समुद्रतटका देशहरूलाई घोषणा गर, जतिहरूले यसो भन्नुपर्छ, 'इस्राएललाई तितर-बितर पार्नुहुनेले तिनीहरूलाई जम्मा गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ र गोठालोलो आफ्ना भेडाहरूलाई रक्षा गरेझैं रक्षा गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।'
Listen to the word of the Lord, O Gentiles, and announce it amid the islands that are far away, and say: “Whoever has scattered Israel will gather him, and he will guard him as a shepherd guards his flock.”
11 किनकि परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई मोल तिरेर छुटाउनुभएको छ, र उसको भन्दा धेरै शक्तिशाली हातबाट उसलाई छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ ।
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and he has freed him from the hand of one more powerful.
12 तब तिनीहरू आउनेछन् र सियोनका पर्वतहरूमा रमाउनेछन् । मकै र नयाँ दाखमद्य, तेल र गाईवस्तुका बाछाहरू भेडा-बाख्राका पाठाहरूमाथि परमप्रभुको भलाइको कारणले, तिनीहरूका मुहार चम्कनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूको जीवन पानीले भिजेको बगैँचाजस्तै हुनेछ, र तिनीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै दुःखको महसुस गर्नेछैनन् ।
And they will arrive and give praise on Mount Zion. And they will flow together, to the good things of the Lord, over grain, and wine, and oil, and the offspring of cattle and herds. And their soul will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer be hungry.
13 तब कन्याहरू नाच्दै रमाउनेछन्, र युवा अनि पाकाहरू एकै ठाउँमा आउनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूको शोकलाई म उत्सवमा परिणत गर्नेछु । म तिनीहरूमाथि दया देखाउनेछु, र शोक गर्नुको साटो आनन्द मनाउन लगाउनेछु ।
Then the virgin will rejoice with singing, the young and the old together, and I will turn their mourning into gladness, and I will console them and gladden them after their sorrow.
14 तब पुजारीहरूका जीवनलाई म प्रशस्त मात्रामा परिपूर्ण पार्नेछु । मेरा मानिसहरू मेरो भलाइले भरिनेछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And I will inebriate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be filled with my good things, says the Lord.”
15 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “रामामा विलाप गरेको र धुरुधुरु रोएको एउटा सोर सुनिएको छ । राहेल आफ्ना सन्तानका लागि रुँदैछे । त्यसले सान्त्वना पाउनलाई इन्कार गरेकी छे, किनकि तिनीहरू अब फेरि जीवित छैनन् ।”
Thus says the Lord: “A voice has been heard on high: of lamentation, mourning, and weeping; of Rachel crying for her sons and refusing to be consoled over them, because they are not.”
16 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “रुनदेखि आफ्नो सोर रोक, र आँखाबाट आँसु नखसाल । तिमीहरूको कामको लागि एउटा इनमा छ, यो परमप्रभुको हो, तिमीहरूका छोराछोरी शत्रुको देशबाट फर्कनेछन् ।
Thus says the Lord: “Let your voice cease from crying and your eyes from tears. For there is a reward for your work, says the Lord. And they will return from the land of the enemy.
17 तिमीहरूको भविष्यको लागि आशा छ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू तिमीहरूका सिमानाहरूभित्र फर्कनेछन् ।”
And there is hope for your very end, says the Lord. And the sons will return to their own borders.
18 “निश्चय नै मैले एफ्राइमको शोक गरेको सुनेको छु, 'तपाईंले मलाई दण्ड दिनुभयो, र एउटा नदाएको बाछालाई झैं मलाई दण्ड दिइएको छ । मलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनुहोस्, र म फर्काइनेछु, किनकि तपाईं परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Listening, I heard Ephraim going into captivity: ‘You have chastised me, and I was instructed, like a young untamed bull. Convert me, and I shall be converted. For you are the Lord my God.
19 किनकि म तपाईंकहाँ फर्केपछि म दुःखित भएँ । मलाई तालिम दिइएपछि मैले आफ्नो तिघ्रामा हिर्काएँ । म लज्जित र अपमानित भएँ, किनकि मैले आफ्नो युवावस्थाको दोष बोकेको छु ।'
For after you converted me, I did penance. And after you revealed to me, I struck my thigh. I am confounded and ashamed. For I have endured the disgrace of my youth.’
20 के एफ्राइम मेरो बहुमूल्य बालक होइन र? के त्यो मेरो प्रिय, आनन्दित छोरो होइन र? किनकि मैले जहिलेसुकै त्यसको विरुद्धमा बोल्दा, म निश्चय नै त्यसलाई मेरो प्रेमिलो हृदयमा सम्झन्छु । यसरी मेरो हृदय त्यसको लागि लालायित हुन्छ । म निश्चय नै त्यसमाथि दया देखाउने छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
Certainly, Ephraim is an honorable son to me; surely, he is a tender child. For I will still remember him, as in the time when I first spoke about him. Because my heart is stirred up over him, surely I will take pity on him, says the Lord.
21 “आफ्ना लागि बाटो देखाउने सङ्केतहरू राख् । आफ्ना लागि खम्बाहरू खडा गर् । तेरो मन तँ हिंड्नुपर्ने ठिक मार्गमा लगा । ए कन्या इस्राएल, फर्केर आइज । तेरा यी सहरहरूमा फर्केर आइज ।
Establish a watchtower for yourself. Place yourself in bitterness. Direct your heart into the upright way, in which you used to walk. Return, return, O virgin of Israel, to these your cities!
22 ए विश्वासघाती छोरी, तँ कहिलेसम्म यताउता गरिबस्छेस्? किनकि परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीमा केही नयाँ कुरो सृजनुभएको छ अर्थात् एक जना स्त्रीले एक जना बलियो पुरुषलाई घेर्छे ।”
How long will you be absorbed in delights, O wandering daughter? For the Lord has created something new upon the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”
23 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले यस जातिलाई तिनीहरूको देशमा फर्काएर ल्याउँदा तिनीहरूले यहूदा र यसका सहरहरूमा यसो भन्नेछन्, 'उहाँ बस्नुहुने ए धर्मी बासस्थान्, ए पवित्र पर्वत, परमप्रभुले तँलाई आशिष् देऊन् ।'
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Still they will speak this word in the land of Judah, and in its cities, when I will convert their captivity: ‘May the Lord bless you, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.’
24 किनकि किसानहरू र आफ्ना बगालहरूसित घुम्ने गोठालाहरूझैं यहूदा र यसका सहरहरू सँगसँगै त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् ।
And they will live in it: Judah together with all its cities, the farmer and those who drive the flocks.
25 किनकि थाकेकाहरूलाई म पिउन लयाउनेछु, र मूर्छा खाएकाहरूलाई म सन्तुष्ट पार्नेछु ।”
For I have inebriated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every hungry soul.
26 यसपछि म ब्युँझेँ, र मेरा भेडाहरू ताजा हुँदै गरेको मैले थाहा पाएँ ।
Over this, I was awakened, as if from a deep sleep. And I saw, and my sleep became sweet to me.
27 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “हेर्, यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जुन बेला इस्राएल र यहूदाका घरानाहरूलाई मान्छे र पशुका सन्तानहरूले म रोप्नेछु ।
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and with the offspring of cattle.
28 विगतमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई जरैदेखि उखेल्न, लछार्न, नष्ट पार्न र हानि गर्न तिनीहरूलाई मेरो निगरानीमा राखेँ । तर आउने दिनहरूमा, तिनीहरूलाई निर्माण गर्न र तिनीहरूलाई रोप्न, म तिनीहरूको रेखदेख गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And just as I have watched over them, so that I may root up, and tear down, and scatter, and destroy, and afflict, so will I watch over them, so that I may build and plant them, says the Lord.
29 “ती दिनमा कसैले पनि यसो भन्नेछैन, 'अमिलो अङ्गुर खानेचाहिं बुबा, तर दाँत कुँडिनेचाहिं छोराछोरीको!'
In those days, they will no longer say: ‘The fathers ate a bitter grape, and the teeth of the sons have been affected.’
30 किनकि हरेक मानिस आफ्नै अधर्ममा मर्नेछ । जसले अमिलो अङ्गुर खान्छ, त्यसकै दाँत कुँडिनेछ ।
Instead, each one will die for his own iniquity. Each man who will have eaten a bitter grape, his own teeth will be affected.
31 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर्, यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जुना बेला म इस्राएल र यहूदाका घरानासित एउटा नयाँ करार स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will form a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
32 मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित बाँधेको करारजस्तो यो हुनेछैन, जब मैले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका हात समातेर मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर ल्याएँ, किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरे तापनि म तिनीहरूका पति भएँ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, so as to lead them away from the land of Egypt, the covenant which they nullified, though I was the ruler over them, says the Lord.
33 इस्राएलको घरानासित मैले बाँध्ने करार यही हो, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । यी दिनपछि म आफ्नो व्यवस्था तिनीहरूभित्र हाल्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका हृदयमा यो लेख्नेछु, किनकि म तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर हुनेछु, र तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन् ।
But this will be the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord: I will give my law to their inner most being, and I will write it upon their heart. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 तब हरेक मानिसले फेरि आफ्नो छिमेकी वा हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो भाइलाई यसो भनेर सिकाउने छैन, 'परमप्रभुलाई चिन ।' किनकि सानादेखि ठुलासम्म तिनीहरू सबैले मलाई चिन्नेछन्, यो यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । किनकि म तिनीहरूको अधर्म क्षमा दिनेछु, र फेरि तिनीहरूका पाप सम्झनेछैनँ ।”
And they will no longer teach, a man his neighbor, and a man his brother, saying: ‘Know the Lord.’ For all will know me, from the littlest of them even to the greatest, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will no longer remember their sin.
35 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “दिनमा प्रकाश दिन सूर्य र रातमा प्रकाश दिन चन्द्रमा र ताराहरूलाई उहाँले नै निधो गर्नुहुन्छ । समुद्रका छाल गर्जनलाई उहाँले नै यसलाई गतिवान् बनाउनुहुन्छ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु उहाँको नाउँ हो ।”
Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun as the light of the day, who puts the moon and the stars in order as the light of the night, who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar: the Lord of hosts is his name.
36 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “यी स्थायी थोकहरू मेरो दृष्टिबाट गायब भए भने मात्रै, इस्राएलका सन्तानहरू मेरो सामु सदा एउटा जाति हुनबाट खतम हुनेछ ।”
If these laws fail in my sight, says the Lord, then the offspring of Israel will also fail, so that they will not be a people in my sight for all time.”
37 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “उच्चतम आकाशलाई नाप्न सकियो भने, अनि मुनि पृथ्वीको जगलाई पत्ता लगाउन सकियो भने मात्र, इस्राएलका सबै सन्तानले गरेका कुराको कारणले, म तिनीहरूलाई इन्कार गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
Thus says the Lord: “If the heavens above are able to be measured, and if the foundations of the earth beneath can be examined, I also will cast aside all the offspring of Israel, because of all that they have done, says the Lord.
38 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “हेर्, यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जुन बेला यो सहर हननेलको धरहरादेखि कुने-ढोकसम्मै पुनर्निर्माण गरिनेछ ।
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when a city will be built for the Lord from the tower of Hananel, even to the Gate of the Corner;
39 तब नाप्ने डोरी फेरि अझै टाढा गारेब डाँडासम्म अनि घुमेर गोआसम्म जानेछ ।
and the measuring line will go on even further in his sight, over the hill of Gareb, and it will encircle Goah
40 लाशहरू र खरानीको सारा उपत्यका अनि पूर्वतिर किद्रोन खोल्सासम्मका सबै खेत अश्व ढोकाको कुनासम्मको भाग परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिनेछ । त्यो सहर सदाको निम्ति फेरि कहिल्यै उखेलिने, वा भत्काइने छैन ।”
and the entire Valley of dead bodies and ashes, and the entire region of death, even to the torrent of Kedron, and to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east. All this will be the holy place of the Lord. It will not be rooted up, and it will not be torn down, anymore, forever.”
