< यर्मिया 4 >

1 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “ए इस्राएल, तँ फर्किस् भने तँ मतिरै फर्किनुपर्छ । तैंले मेरो सामुबाट घिनलाग्दा वस्तुहरू हटाइस् र फेरि मबाट तर्केर गइनस् भने,
"If you will return, Israel," says the LORD, "if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you shall not be removed;
2 'परमप्रभुको नाउँमा' भनेर तैंले शपथ खाँदा तँ सत्य, न्यायी र धर्मी हुनुपर्छ। तब जाति-जातिहरू उहाँमा आशिषित हुनेछन्, र उहाँलाई नै तिनीहरूले महिमा दिनेछन् ।”
and you shall swear, 'As the LORD lives,' in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. The nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory."
3 यहूदा र यरूशलेममा भएका हरेक व्यक्तिलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, ‘तिमीहरूको खेत जोत, र काँडाहरूका बिचमा बीउ नछर ।
For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, "Break up your fallow ground, and do not sow among thorns.
4 हे यहूदाका मानसिहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको निम्ति आफ्नो खतना गर, र तिमीहरूको हृदय छोप्‍ने छाला हटाओ, नत्रता तिमीहरूका कार्यको दुष्‍टताको कारणले कसैले निभाउन नसक्‍ने गरी बल्नेछ, मेरो क्रोध आगोझैं दन्कनेछ ।
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5 यहूदामा कराओ र यरूशलेममा सुनियोस् । यसो भन, 'देशमा तुरही फुक ।' यसो भनेर घोषणा गर, 'सँगैसँगै भेला होओ । हामी किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरूमा जाऔं ।'
Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, 'Blow the trumpet in the land.' Cry aloud and say, 'Assemble yourselves. Let us go into the fortified cities.'
6 सङ्केत दिने झण्डा उठाओ र त्यसलाई सियोनतर्फ औंल्याओ, र सुरक्षाको लागि दौड । नबस, किनकि म उत्तरबाट ठुलो विनाश र विपत्ति ल्याउँदैछु ।
Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety. Do not wait; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction."
7 आफ्नो झाडिबाट सिंह बाहिर आउँदैछ, र जाति-जातिहरूलाई नष्‍ट पार्ने व्यक्ति प्रस्थान गरिसकेको छ । तिमीहरूको देशमा त्रास ल्याउन, तिमीहरूका सहरहरूलाई कोही नबस्‍ने गरी भग्‍नावशेषमा परिणत गर्न त्यो आफ्नो ठाउँ छाडेर आउँदैछ ।
A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
8 यही कारणले गर्दा, आफैलाई भाङ्ग्राले बेर, विलाप गर र रोओ । किनकि परमप्रभुको रिसको शक्ति हामीबाट तर्केर गएको छैन ।
For this clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD hasn't turned back from us.
9 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “त्यस दिन राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका हृदय काम्नेछन् । पुजारीहरू भयभीत हुनेछन्, र अगमवक्ताहरू त्रसित हुनेछन् ।”
"It shall happen at that day," says the LORD, "that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the officials; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder."
10 त्यसैले मैले भनें, “हाय, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, 'तिमीहरूका लागि शान्ति हुनेछ' भनेर निश्‍चय नै तपाईंले यी मानिस र यरूशलेमलाई पूर्णतः धोका दिनुभएको छ । तापनि तरवारले तिनीहरूको जीवनको विरुद्धमा प्रहार गर्दैछ ।”
Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD. Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall have peace;' whereas the sword reaches to the heart."
11 त्यस बेला यरूशलेम र यस जातिको विषयमा यसो भनिनेछ, “मरुभूमिका मैदानहरूबाट आएको एउटा पोल्ने बतासले मेरो मानिसहरूका छोरीकहाँ आफ्नो मार्ग बनाउँछ । यसले तिनीहरूलाई निफन्‍ने वा शुद्ध पार्ने छैन ।
At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, "A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;
12 मेरो आज्ञामा त्योभन्दा अझै प्रचण्ड बतास आउनेछ, र अब म तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दण्डाज्ञा ल्याउनेछु ।
a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them."
13 हेर, बादलले झैं उहाँले आक्रमण गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँका रथहरू आँधीजस्ता छन् । उहाँका घोडाहरू गरुडहरूभन्दा छिटो कुद्छन् । हामीलाई धिक्‍कार छ, किनकि हामी सर्वनाश हुनेछौं ।
Look, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us. For we are ruined.
14 ए यरूशलेम, दुष्‍टताबाट आफ्‍नो हृदय शुद्ध पार् जसले गर्दा तँ बाँच्‍न सक्‍छस् । तेरा गहिरा-गहिरा विचारहरू कहिलेसम्म कसरी पाप गर्ने भन्‍ने विषयमा हुनेछ?
Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
15 दानबाट एउटा आवाजले खबर ल्याउँदैछ, र एफ्राइमका पर्वतहरूबाट आउँदो विपत्ति सुनिंदैछ ।
For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:
16 जाति-जातिहरूलाई यस विषयमा सोच्न लगाः हेर्, यहूदाका सहरहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धको हल्‍ला मच्‍चाउन टाढाको देशबाट घेरा हाल्नेहरू आउँदैछन् भनी यरूशलेमलाई सुचना गर् ।
"Tell the nations; look, publish against Jerusalem, 'Besiegers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
17 तिनीहरू खनजोत गरिएको बारीको चारैतिर रुँग्‍नेहरूजस्तै हुनेछन्, किनकि त्यो मेरो विरुद्धमा बागी भएको छ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो,
As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,'" says the LORD.
18 र तेरा चाल र कामहरूले तँमाथि यी कुरा ल्याएका छन् । यो तेरो दण्ड हुनेछ । यो कति भयानक हुनेछ! यसले तेरो हृदयलाई नै प्रहार गर्नेछ ।
"Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart."
19 ए मेरो हृदय, मेरो हृदय! म आफ्‍नो हृदयको पीडामा छु । मेरो हृदय मभित्रै हल्लिएको छ । म चुप रहन सक्दिनँ किनकि मैले तुरहीको आवाज अर्थात् युद्धको ध्वनि सुनेको छु ।
My anguish, my anguish. I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I can't hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 विपत्तिपछि विपत्ति आउनेछ । किनकि सारा देश भग्‍नावशेष हुन्छ । अकस्मात् मेरा पालहरू अनि मेरा पर्दाहरू एकै क्षणमा नष्‍ट पारिए ।
Destruction on destruction is proclaimed; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
21 मैले कहिलेसम्म शत्रुको यद्धको झण्डा हेर्ने? के मैले तुरहीको आवाजलाई सुन्‍नेछु?
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 मेरो जातिको मूर्खताको कारणले तिनीहरूले मलाई चिन्दैनन् । तिनीहरू निर्बुद्धी मानिसहरू हुन्, र तिनीहरूको समझशक्ति छैन । तिनीहरूमा दुष्‍ट्याइँको सिप छ, तर भलाइ गर्न जान्दैनन् ।
"For my people are foolish, they do not know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."
23 मैले देशलाई हेरें। हेर, यो आकारहीन र शून्य थियो । किनकि आकाशमण्डलको लागि कुनै ज्योति थिएन ।
I saw the earth, and, look, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 मैले पर्वतहरूलाई हेरें । हेर्, ती थरथर काँप्दै थिए, र सबै डाँडा यताउता हल्लिरहेका थिए ।
I saw the mountains, and look, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
25 मैले हेरें । हेर्, त्यहाँ कोही थिएन, र आकाशका सबै चरा उडेर भागेका थिए ।
I saw, and look, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.
26 मैले हेरें । परमप्रभुको सामु, उहाँको भयानक क्रोधको सामु बगैँचा मरुभूमि भएको थियो, र सबै सहरहरू ध्वस्त भएका थिए ।
I saw, and look, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD; before his fierce anger they were destroyed.
27 परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “सारा देश ध्वस्त हुनेछ, तर म यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्‍ट पार्दिनँ ।
For thus says the LORD, "The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
28 यसकारण पृथ्वीले शोक गर्नेछ, र माथि आकाशमण्डल अँध्यारो हुनेछ । किनकि मैले आफ्‍नो मनको कुरा घोषणा गरेको छु । म त्यसलाई रोक्दिनँ । त्यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गर्नदेखि म तर्कन्‍नँ ।
For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not relented, neither will I turn back from it."
29 घोडचढीहरू र काँड बोकेका धनुर्धारीहरूको आवाज सुनेर हरेक सहर भाग्‍नेछ । तिनीहरू जङ्गलभित्र दौडनेछन् । हरेक सहर चट्टानका ठाउँहरूमा उक्लनेछ । सहरहरू त्यागिने छन्, किनकि तिनमा बसोबास गर्ने कोही हुनेछैन ।
Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into caves, and they hide themselves in the thickets, and climb up on the rocks; every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells in it.
30 अब तँ उजाड पारिएकी छेस्, तब तँ के गर्नेछेस्? तैंले रातो पोशाक पहिरिने, सुनका गरगहना लगाउने र तेरा आँखा गाजले ठुला बनाउने गरे तापनि तँसित कामवासनामा फसेका पुरुषहरूले नै अब तँलाई इन्कार गर्छन् । बरु, तिनीहरूले तेरो जीवन लिन खोज्दैछन् ।
You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you dress yourselves with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; your lovers despise you, they seek your life.
31 त्यसैले म पीडाको आवाज, पहिलो बच्‍चाको जन्ममा हुने प्रसव-वेदना र सियोनकी छोरीको चिच्‍याहट सुन्‍दैछु । त्यसले स्वाँ-स्वाँ गर्दै सास फेर्दैछे । त्यसले आफ्ना हात फैलाउँछे, 'मलाई धिक्‍कार छ! यी हत्याराहरूको कारणले गर्दा म मूर्छा परिरहेकी छु ।”
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, "Woe is me now. For my soul faints before the murderers."
