यर्मिया 46
1 जाति-जातिहरूको विषयमा यर्मिया अगमवक्ताकहाँ आएको परमप्रभुको वचन यही हो ।
In the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about foreign nations.
2 मिश्र देशको विषयमाः “यो यूफ्रेटिस नदीको तीरमा अवस्थित कर्कमीशमा भएका मिश्रदेशका राजा फारो नेकोका सेनाको विषयमा हो । यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको चौथो वर्षमा यही सेनालाई बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले पराजित गरेका थिए ।
This concerns Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt and the Egyptian army which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
3 साना र ठुला ढालहरू तयार पार, अनि युद्ध गर्नलाई अगाडि बढ ।
Pick up both your small and large shields, and advance ready for battle!
4 घोडाहरूमा जीन-लगाम कस । घोडाहरूमा सवार होओ, र टोप लगाएर आफ्नो ठाउँमा खडा होओ । भालाहरू टल्काओ, र आ-आफ्नो कवच लगाओ ।
Put the harnesses on the horses and get into your chariots; take your positions with your helmets on! Sharpen your spears; put on your armor!
5 म यहाँ के देख्दैछु? तिनीहरू त्रासले भरिएका छन्, र टाढा भाग्दैछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका सिपाहीहरू पराजित भएका छन् । सुरक्षाको लागि तिनीहरूको भाग्दैछन्, र पछाडि फर्केर हेरिरहेका छैनन् । त्रास चारैतिर छ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो—
Why do I see their lines broken and retreating? Their soldiers are defeated. They run away so quickly they don't even look back because they're so terrified by what's happening around them, declares the Lord.
6 तीव्र गतिमा कुद्नेहरू भाग्न सक्दैनन्, र सिपाहीहरू उम्कन सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरू उत्तरमा ठक्कर खान्छन्, र यूफ्रेटिस नदीको छेउमा ढल्छन् ।
Even the fastest of them can't get away; the soldiers can't escape. There in the north beside the Euphrates they fall and die.
7 नील नदीझैं बढेर आउने यो को हो, जसको पानी नदीको झैं उर्लन्छ र झर्छ?
Who is this that's coming, rising like the Nile, like swirling rivers whose waters flood?
8 मिश्रदेश नील नदीझैं बढेर आउँछ । त्यो नदीको पानीझैं उर्लन्छ र झर्छ । मिश्रदेशले भन्छ, 'म माथि जानेछु र पृथ्वीलाई ढाक्नेछु । सहरहरू र तिनका बासिन्दाहरूलाई म नष्ट पार्नेछु ।'
Egypt is rising like the Nile; its waters swirl like flooding rivers, boasting, “I will rise and sweep over the earth; I will destroy towns and the people in them.”
9 ए घोडाहरू हो, माथि जाओ । ए रथहरू हो, रिसाओ । सिपाहीहरू बाहिर जाऊन्, ढाल बोक्ने कूश र पूतका निपुण मानिसहरू अनि लूदका बाण हान्न निपुण मानिसहरू हो, अगि बढ ।’
Horses, charge in! Chariots, drive like crazy! Have the infantry advance: soldiers from Ethiopia and Put carrying their shields, archers from Lydia with their bows.
10 त्यस दिन सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको लागि प्रतिशोधको दिन हुनेछ, र उहाँले आफ्ना वैरीहरूलाई आफै बदला लिनुहुनेछ । तरवारले स्वाहा पार्नेछ, र त्यो सन्तुष्ट हुनेछ । यसले तिनीहरूको रगत पिउनेछ । किनकि यूफ्रेटिस नदीको किनारमा अवस्थित उत्तर देशमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुका लागि बलिदान चढाइनेछ ।
But this is the day of the Lord God Almighty, a day of retribution when he takes vengeance on his enemies. The sword will destroy until it is satisfied, until it's had enough of their blood. The Lord God Almighty is having a sacrifice in the north country beside the Euphrates.
11 ए मिश्रदेशका कन्या-छोरी हो, गिलादमा उक्लेर जाओ, र औषधी प्राप्त गर । तैंले धेरै औषधी लगाए तापनि त्यो व्यर्थ हुन्छ । तेरो लागि कुनै उपचार छैन ।
Go and find some healing ointment in Gilead, Virgin Daughter of Egypt! But whatever you use to help you will fail, because there's nothing that will heal you.
12 जातिहरूले तेरो अपमानको बारेमा सुनेका छन् । पृथ्वी तेरो विलापले भरिएको छ, किनकि सिपाहीहरू एक-अर्कामा ठक्कर खान्छन् । तिनीहरू दुवै एकसाथ ढल्छन् ।”
The other nations have heard how you were humiliated in defeat. Everyone can hear your cries of pain. Soldiers fall over each other, and die together.
13 बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर मिश्रदेशमा आउँदा र आक्रमण गर्दा परमप्रभुले यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई भन्नुभएको वचन यही होः
This is the message that the Lord gave to Jeremiah the prophet about the attack by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon on Egypt:
14 “मिश्रदेशमा सुचना दे, र मिग्दोल, मेम्फिस र तहपनेसमा यो घोषणा गर् । 'आ-आफ्नो ठाउँ लेओ र आफूलाई तयार राख, किनकि तिमीहरूको वरिपरि भएकाहरूलाई तरवारले स्वाहा पार्नेछ ।'
Shout a warning in Egypt! Tell everyone in Migdol, and in Memphis and Tahpanhes: Get ready to defend yourselves, because war is destroying everything around you.
15 तेरा शक्तिशाली मानिसहरू किन भुइँमा घोप्टो पर्छन्? तिनीहरू खडा हुने छैनन्, किनकि म परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई भुइँमा धकेलेको हुँ ।
Why did Apis your bull god run away? He couldn't stand his ground because the Lord has knocked him down.
16 उहाँले ठक्कर खानेहरूको सङ्ख्या बढाउनुहुन्छ । हरेक सिपाही अर्कोमा ढल्नेछ । तिनीहरू भन्दैछन्, 'खडा होऊ । हामी घर जाऔं । हाम्रा आफ्नै मानिसहरूकहाँ, हाम्रो आफ्नै मातृभूमिमा जाऔं । हामीलाई प्रहार गर्ने यो तरवारलाई हामी छोडौं ।'
Many soldiers trip and fall over one another and say, “Come on! Let's get back home to our people where we were born, otherwise we're going to be killed.”
17 तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ घोषणा गरे, 'मिश्रदेशका राजा फारो हल्ला गर्ने सोर मात्र हो, मौका पाएको व्यक्ति चिप्लेको छ ।'
When they get there they'll say about Pharaoh king of Egypt, “He just makes a lot of noise. He wasted his opportunity.”
18 जस्तो म जीवित छु, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु महाराजा घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ— कोही एक जना तबोर पर्वतझैं र समुद्र किनारको कर्मेल पर्वतझैं आउनेछ ।
As I live, declares the King who has the name “the Lord Almighty,” the king of Babylon will come. He is like Mount Tabor that stands out from the other mountains, like Mount Carmel high above the sea.
19 ए मिश्रदेशमा बस्नेहरू हो, निर्वासनमा लानलाई आफ्ना निम्ति पोकापन्तरा बाँध । किनकि मेम्फिस उजाड हुनेछ । यो भग्नावशेष हुनेछ, र त्यहाँ कोही पनि बस्नेछैन ।
Pack your bags ready for exile, daughter living in Egypt! Memphis is going to be destroyed, an empty place where no one lives.
20 मिश्रदेश एउटा सुन्दरी गाई हो, तर उत्तर दिशाबाट एउटा चिल्ने किरा आउँदैछ । त्यो आउँदैछ ।
Egypt is a beautiful young cow, but a stinging insect from the north is coming to attack her.
21 त्यसको बिचमा भएका ज्यालादार सिपाहीहरू पोसिएका साँढेहरूजस्तै हुन्, तर तिनीहरू पनि फर्केर भाग्नेछन् । तिनीहरू एकसाथ खडा हुनेछैनन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूका विपत्तिको दिन, तिनीहरूको दण्डको समय आउँदैछ ।
The soldiers that Egypt hired are like calves made fat for slaughter. They will also retreat. They won't stand and fight—they will all run away. Their day of destruction is coming; the time when they'll be punished.
22 सर्पले झैं मिश्रदेशले आवाज निकाल्नेछ र घिस्रेर भाग्नेछ, किनकि त्यसका शत्रुहरू त्यसको विरुद्धमा अगि बढ्दैछन् । दाउरा काट्नेहरूले बन्चरो लिएर हिंडेझैं तिनीहरू त्यसतर्फ जाँदैछन् ।
The Egyptians will retreat with a rustle like a snake sliding away, because the enemy will attack them with axes, coming at them like wood-cutters chopping down trees.
23 जङ्गल घना भए तापनि तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई काट्नेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । किनकि शत्रुहरू गन्नै नसकिने गरी सलहहरूभन्दा धेरै हुनेछन् ।
They will cut them down like a thick forest, declares the Lord, because the invaders are like a swarm of locusts—there's so many of them that they can't be counted.
24 मिश्रदेशकी छोरी लाजमा पारिनेछे । त्यसलाई उत्तरबाट आउने मानिसहरूको हातमा दिइनेछ ।”
The people of Egypt will be humiliated. They will be handed over to the people of the north.
25 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर, थेबेसको अमोन, फारो, मिश्रदेश र त्यसका देवताहरू, त्यसका राजा फारोहरू र तिनीहरूमाथि भरोसा गर्नेहरूलाई मैले दण्ड दिनै लागेको छु ।
The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch, because I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and Pharaoh. I will punish the people of Egypt with their gods and kings, and everyone who trusts in Pharaoh.
26 मैले तिनीहरूका ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरू र बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर र उसका सेवकहरूका हातमा तिनीहरूलाई दिन लागेको छु । त्यसपछि मिश्रदेश पहिलेझैं आबादी हुनेछ,’ यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
I'm going to hand them over to those who want to kill them, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after all this happens, people will live in Egypt as they used to, declares the Lord.
27 तर ए मेरो दास याकूब, तँ नडरा । ए इस्राएल, तँ हताश नहो, किनकि हेर्, मैले तँलाई धेरै टाढाबाट र तेरा सन्तानलाई तिनीहरूको निर्वासनको देशबाट फर्काएर ल्याउनै लागेको छु । तब याकूब फर्कनेछ, शान्ति पाउनेछ र सुरक्षित हुनेछ, र उसलाई आतङ्कित पार्ने कोही हुनेछैन ।
But you, descendants of Jacob my servant, you don't have to be fearful. Israelites, you don't need to be discouraged. I promise to rescue you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. You will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
28 ए मेरो दास याकूब, तँ नडरा, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— किनभने म तँसित छु, यसैले मैले तँलाई जहाँजहाँ छरपष्ट पारें त्यहाँका सबै जातिहरूको विरुद्धमा म पूर्ण विनाश ल्याउनेछु । तर म तँलाई भने पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गर्नेछैनँ । तापनि म तँलाई न्यायपूर्वक अनुशासन गर्नेछु, र म तँलाई निश्चय पनि दण्डविना छाड्नेछैनँ ।”
You descendants of Jacob, don't be afraid! declares the Lord, for I will be with you. I will completely destroy all the nations where I've scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
