< यर्मिया 45 >
1 यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले नेरियाहका छोरा बारूकलाई भनेका वचन यही हो । यर्मियाको आवज सुनेर तिनले यी वचन एउटा मुट्ठोमा लेखे— यो यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको चौथो वर्ष थियो र तिनले भने,
The word which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to Baruch [the] son of Neriah when wrote he the words these on a scroll from [the] mouth of Jeremiah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah saying.
2 “बारूक, परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई यसो भन्नुहुन्छः
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel to you O Baruch.
3 तैंले भनिस्, 'धिक्कार छ मलाई! किनकि परमप्रभुले मलाई पीडामा वेदना थप्नुभएको छ । मेरो सुस्केराले मलाई थकाएको छ । मैले विश्राम पाइन ।'
You said woe! please to me for he has added Yahweh sorrow to pain my I am weary with groaning my and rest not I have found.
4 तैंले उसलाई यसो भन्नुपर्छ, ‘परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर, जे मैले बनाएँ, त्यो म अब भत्काउँदैछु । जे मैले रोपेँ, त्यो अहिले म उखेल्दैछु— सारा पृथ्वीभरि नै म यसै गर्नेछु ।
Thus - you will say to him thus he says Yahweh here! [that] which I have built I [am] about to tear down and [that] which I have planted I [am] about to pluck up and all the land it.
5 तर के तँचाहिं आफ्नै निम्ति ठुला-ठुला कुराहरूको आशा गर्छस्? त्यसको आशा नगर् । किनकि हेर्, सारा मानव-जातिमाथि विपत्ति आउँदैछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— तर तँ जहाँ जानेछस्, त्यहाँ म तेरो जीवन तेरो लुटको रूपमा तँलाई नै दिनेछु' ।”
And you you are seeking for yourself great [things] may not you seek [them] for here I [am] about to bring calamity on all flesh [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will give to you life your to plunder at all the places where you will go there.
