यर्मिया 31
1 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “त्यस बेला म इस्राएलका सबै वंशको परमेश्वर हुनेछु, र तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन् ।”
At the same time, says the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall 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 which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to 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 has appeared of old to me, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I 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 ।
Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: you shall again be adorned with your tabrets, and shall go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 सामरियाका पहाडहरूमा तैंले फेरि दाखबारीहरू लगाउनेछस् । किसानहरूले रोप्नेछन्, र फललाई असलको उद्धेश्यको लागि प्रयोग गर्नेछन् ।
You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
6 किनकि एक दिन आउनेछ, जुन बेला एफ्राइमका पहाडहरूका पहरेदारहरूले घोषणा गर्नेछन्, 'उठ, हामी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरकहाँ सियोनमा जाऔं' ।”
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise you, and let us go up to 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; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish you, praise you, 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 bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travails with child together: a great company shall return thither.
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 shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a 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 ।'
Hear the word of the LORD, O you nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does 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 ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
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 ।
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
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 shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 तब पुजारीहरूका जीवनलाई म प्रशस्त मात्रामा परिपूर्ण पार्नेछु । मेरा मानिसहरू मेरो भलाइले भरिनेछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, 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 was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were 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; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work shall be rewarded, said the LORD; and they shall come again 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 in your end, says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border.
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 ।
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; 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 ।'
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach 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 ।”
Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy 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 ।
Set you up markers, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again 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 go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass 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; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 किनकि किसानहरू र आफ्ना बगालहरूसित घुम्ने गोठालाहरूझैं यहूदा र यसका सहरहरू सँगसँगै त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् ।
And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, farmers, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 किनकि थाकेकाहरूलाई म पिउन लयाउनेछु, र मूर्छा खाएकाहरूलाई म सन्तुष्ट पार्नेछु ।”
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 यसपछि म ब्युँझेँ, र मेरा भेडाहरू ताजा हुँदै गरेको मैले थाहा पाएँ ।
On this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was 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 come, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
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 it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the LORD.
29 “ती दिनमा कसैले पनि यसो भन्नेछैन, 'अमिलो अङ्गुर खानेचाहिं बुबा, तर दाँत कुँडिनेचाहिं छोराछोरीको!'
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
30 किनकि हरेक मानिस आफ्नै अधर्ममा मर्नेछ । जसले अमिलो अङ्गुर खान्छ, त्यसकै दाँत कुँडिनेछ ।
But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर्, यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जुना बेला म इस्राएल र यहूदाका घरानासित एउटा नयाँ करार स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make 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 that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was an husband to 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 shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and 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 shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
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, which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divides the sea when the waves thereof 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 those ordinances depart from before me, says the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
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 heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for 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 come, says the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner.
39 तब नाप्ने डोरी फेरि अझै टाढा गारेब डाँडासम्म अनि घुमेर गोआसम्म जानेछ ।
And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it on the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
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 whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
