यर्मिया 5
1 “यरूशलेमका सडकहरूबाट छिटो जा । त्यसका चोकहरूमा पनि खोजी गर् । त्यसपछि हेरे अनि यस कुरा बारेमा विचार गर्: न्यायपूर्वक काम गर्ने र इमानदारीपूर्वक काम गर्न खोज्ने कुनै मानिस तैंले फेला पारिस् भने, म यरूशलेमलाई क्षमा दिनेछु ।
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places of it, if ye can find a man, if there is any who does justly, who seeks truth, and I will pardon her.
2 तिनीहरू भन्छन्छन्, 'जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा' तापनि तिनीहरूले झूटा शपथ खाँदैछन् ।”
And though they say, As Jehovah lives, surely they swear falsely.
3 हे परमप्रभु, के तपाईंका आँखाले विश्वसनीयताको खोजी गर्दैनन् र? तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो, तर तिनीहरूलाई पिडा महसुस हुँदैन । तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा पराजित गर्नुभएको छ, तर तिनीहरू अझै पनि अनुशासन मान्न इन्कार गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना अनुहार चट्टानभन्दा कडा बनाउँछन्, किनकि तिनीहरू पश्चात्ताप गर्न इन्कार गर्छन् ।
O Jehovah, do not thine eyes look upon truth? Thou have stricken them, but they were not grieved. Thou have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.
4 त्यसैले मैले भनें, “निश्चय नै यिनीहरू मात्र दुःखी मानिसहरू रहेछन् । तिनीहरू मूर्ख छन्, किनकि तिनीहरू परमप्रभुका मार्ग जान्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूका परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू जान्दछन् ।
Then I said, Surely these are poor, they are foolish, for they know not the way of Jehovah, nor the law of their God.
5 म ठुला मानिसहरूकहाँ जानेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्वरको सन्देश घोषणा गर्नेछु, किनकि कमसेकम आफ्ना परमेश्वरका मार्ग, परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू तिनीहरूले त जान्दछन् ।” तर तिनीहरू सबैले आफ्ना जुवा सँगसँगै भाँचे । तिनीहरू सबैले आफूलाई परमेश्वरसित बाँध्ने बन्धनलाई चुँडाले ।
I will go to the great men, and will speak to them, for they know the way of Jehovah, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 त्यसैले झाडीबाट निस्केर आउने सिंहले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछ । अराबाबाट आउने ब्वाँसोले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नेछ । ढुकेर बस्ने चितुवा तिनीहरूका सहरहरूको विरुद्धमा आउनेछ । आफ्नो सहरबाहिर जाने कोही पनि टुक्राटुक्रा पारिनेछ । किनकि तिनीहरूका अपराध बढ्दो छन् । तिनीहरूका विश्वासहीन कामहरू असीमित छन् ।
Therefore a lion out of the forest shall kill them; a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them; a leopard shall watch against their cities. Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 यी मानिसहरूलाई मैले किन क्षमा दिने? तिमीहरूका छोराहरूले मलाई त्यागेका छन्, र तिनीहरूले त्यो नाउँमा शपथ खान्छन् जो ईश्वरहरू नै होइनन् । मैले तिनीहरूलाई पेटभरि खुवाएँ, तर तिनीहरूले व्यभिचार गरे, र ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा वेश्याहरूका घरहरूमा गए ।
How can I pardon thee? Thy sons have forsaken me, and sworn by those who are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses.
8 तिनीहरू कामवासनाले मस्त घोडाहरूजस्ता थिए । मैथुनको चाहनाले तिनीहरू चारैतिर डुल्दै थिए । प्रत्येक आफ्नो छिमेकीको पत्नीको लागि हिनहिनायो ।
They were as fed horses roaming at large; everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.
9 त्यसैले, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, के मैले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुपर्दैन र, के मैले यस्तो जातिसित बदला लिनुपर्दैन र? ।
Shall I not visit for these things? says Jehovah. And shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 त्यसका दाखबारीका गराहरूमा जा र नष्ट गरिदे। तर तिनमा पूर्ण विनाश नगर । तिनका हाँगाहरू छिंवल, किनकि ती दाखका बोट परमप्रभुबाट आएका होइनन् ।
Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy, but make not a full end. Take away her branches, for they are not Jehovah's.
11 किनकि इस्राएल र यहूदाका घरानाहरूले मलाई पूर्ण रूपमा धोका दिएक छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says Jehovah.
12 तिनीहरूको परमप्रभुको बारेमा झूट बोलेका छन् र यसो भनेका छन्, “उहाँले केही गर्नुहुने छैन । हामीमाथि कुनै हानि आउनेछैन, र हामीले कुनै तरवार वा अनिकाल देख्ने छैनौं ।
They have denied Jehovah, and said, It is not he. Neither shall evil come upon us, nor shall we see sword nor famine.
13 अगमवक्ताहरू हावा हुनेछन्, र तिनीहरूमा वचन छैन । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा तिनीहरूमाथि नै आइपरून् ।”
And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them.
14 त्यसैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “तैंले यसो भनेको हुनाले हेर, म तेरो मुखमा मेरो वचन हाल्नै लागेको छु । यो आगोजस्तो हुनेछ, र यी मानिसहरू दाउराजस्ता हुनेछन् । किनकि यसले तिनीहरूलाई भस्म पार्ने छ ।
Therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 हेर! ए इस्राएलको घराना हो, मैले तेरो विरुद्धमा धेरै टाढाबाट एउटा जातिलाई ल्याउनै लागेको छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, यो एउटा दिगो र प्राचीन जाति हो । यो एउटा त्यस्तो जाति हो जसको भाषा तैंले जान्दैनस्, न त तिनीहरूले के भन्छन् त्यो तैंले बुझ्नेछस् ।
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, says Jehovah. It is a mighty nation. It is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou know not, nor understand what they say.
16 तिनीहरूका वाणका ठोक्राहरू खुला चिहानजस्तै छन् । तिनीहरू सबै सिपाही हुन् ।
Their quiver is an open sepulcher. They are all mighty men.
17 त्यसैले तिमीहरूका फसल, तिमीहरूका छोराछोरी अनि तिमीहरूका खानेकुरा स्वाहा पारिनेछन् । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका भेडा-बाख्रा र गाईवस्तु खानेछन् । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका दाखका बोट र अञ्जीरका बोटहरूका फल खानेछन् । तिमीहरूले भरोसा गरेका तिमीहरूका किल्ला भएका सहरहरूलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारले नष्ट पार्नेछन् ।
And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat. They shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds. They shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees. They shall beat down thy fortified cities, wherein thou trust, with the sword.
18 तर ती दिनमा पनि म तिमीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नाश पार्ने इच्छा गर्दिनँ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
But even in those days, says Jehovah, I will not make a full end with you.
19 जब तँ, इस्राएल र यहूदाले यसो भन्छस्, ‘परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले किन हामीलाई यी सबै कुरा गर्नुभएको?’ तब तँ यर्मियाले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नेछस्, “जसरी तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई त्याग्यौ र आफ्नै देशमा विदेशी देवताहरूको सेवा गर्यौ, त्यसरी नै तिमीहरूले विदेशमा पनि विदेशीहरूको सेवा गर्नुपर्नेछ ।”
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Why has Jehovah our God done all these things to us? Then thou shall say to them, Just as ye have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so ye shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 याकूबको घरानामा यो प्रचार गर्, र यहूदामा यो सुनियोस् । यसो भन्,
Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 “हे समझ नभएको मूर्ख मानिस हो, यो कुरा सुन । तिमीहरूका आँखा छन्, तर देख्न सक्दैनौ, कान छन्, तर सुन्न सक्दैनौ ।
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding, who have eyes, and see not, who have ears, and hear not:
22 मदेखि नडराओ, न त मेरो मुहारको सामु थरथर होओ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । समुद्रलाई बालुवाको सिमाना राखेको छु जुन नभत्किने स्थायी, निरन्तर रहने आज्ञा हो, छाल ठोकिने र फर्किने भए तापनि त्यसले अझै भत्काउनेछैन । यसका तरङ्गहरू गर्जे तापनि तिनले यसलाई पार गर्दैनन् ।
Do ye not fear me? says Jehovah. Will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? And though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet they cannot prevail, though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
23 तर यी मानिसहरूको हठी हृदय छ । यो विद्रोहमा बरालिन्छ र टाढा जान्छ ।
But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart. They have revolted and gone.
24 किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हृदयमा यसो भन्दैनन्, “हामी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको भय मानौं जसले वर्षा ल्याउनुहुन्छ, हामीले खेति गर्नुपर्ने हप्ताहरूमा, ठिक समयमा अगिल्लो र पछिल्लो वर्षा दिनुहुन्छ।”
Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 तिमीहरूका अधर्महरूले गर्दा यी कुरा हुनबाट रोकिएका छन् । तिमीहरूका पापले गर्दा भलाइ तिमीहरूकहाँ आउन रोकिएको छ ।
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
26 किनकि मेरा मानिसहरूसँगै दुष्ट मानिसहरू भेट्टाइएका छन् । कोही मानिस चरा समाउनलाई चुप बसेझैं तिनीहरू ढुकिबस्छन् । तिनीहरूले पासो थाप्छन् र मानिसहरू समात्छन् ।
For among my people are found wicked men. They watch as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap; they catch men.
27 चराहरूले भरिएका पिंजराजस्तै तिनीहरूका घरहरू छलले भरिएका छन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरू ठुला र धनी भएका छन् ।
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grown rich.
28 तिनीहरू मोटाएका छन् । तिनीहरू सकुसल चिल्ला भएका छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्टताको सबै सीमा पार गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मानिसहरू वा अनाथहरूको भलाइको निम्ति बिन्ती गर्दैनन् । तिनीहरूले खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई न्याय नदिए तापनि तिनीहरूको उन्नति हुन्छ ।
They have grown fat. They shine. Yea, they overflow in deeds of wickedness. They do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper. And they do not judge the right of the needy.
29 के यी कुराको लागि मैले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड नदिने त, के यस्तो जातिलाई मैले बदला नलिते त? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Shall I not visit for these things? says Jehovah. Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 यस देशमा बीभत्स र त्रासदीपूर्ण कामहरू भएका छन् ।
An astonishing and horrible thing has come to pass in the land.
31 अगमवक्ताहरूले छलपूर्ण अगमवाणी गर्छन्, र पुजारीहरूले आफ्नै शक्तिले शासन गर्छन् । मेरो मानिसहरूले यही तरिका मन पराउँछन्, तर अन्त्यमा के हुने छ?”
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means. And my people love to have it so. And what will ye do in the end thereof?
