< यर्मिया 50 >
1 यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा कल्दीहरूको देश बेबिलोनको विषयमा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको वचन यही हो,
The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 “जातिहरूलाई खबर गर र तिनीहरूलाई सुन्न लगा । सङ्केत उठा र तिनीहरूलाई सुन्न लगा । यसलाई नलुका । यसो भन्, 'बेबिलोनलाई लिइएको छ । बेललाई लाजमा पारिएको छ । मरोदक हताश भएको छ । यसका मूर्तिहरू लाजमा पारिएका छन् । यसका प्रतिमाहरू हताश पारिएका छन् ।'
Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard, publish, and conceal not. Say, Babylon is taken. Bel is put to shame. Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame; her idols are dismayed.
3 यसको विरुद्धमा उत्तरबाट एउटा जातिको उदय हुनेछ, र यसको देशलाई उजाड पार्नेछ । यसमा कोही बस्ने छैन । मानिस र पशु दुवै भाग्नेछन् ।
For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein. They are fled. They are gone, both man and beast.
4 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, ती दिनमा र त्यो समयमा इस्राएल र यहूदाका मानिसहरू रुँदैरुँदै जान र परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्न सँगसँगै आउनेछन् ।
In those days, and in that time, says Jehovah, the sons of Israel shall come, they and the sons of Judah together. They shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Jehovah their God.
5 तिनीहरूले सियोनतिर जाने बाटो सोध्नेछन्, र यसो भन्दै त्यतैतिर फर्कनेछन्, हामि जानेछौं र परमप्रभुसित कहिलै नबिर्सिने अनन्त करारमा सहभगी हुनेछौं ।”
They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces toward it, saying, Come ye, and join yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 मेरा मानिसहरू एउटा हराएको बगाल भएको छ । तिनीहरूका गोठालाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पहाडहरूमा बरालिदिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई एउटा पहाडदेखि अर्को पडाहमा फर्काएका छन् । तिनीहरू गए, अनि आफू बसेको ठाउँ तिनीहरूले बिर्से ।
My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting-place.
7 तिनीहरूकहाँ जाने हरेकले तिनीहरूलाई निले । तिनीहरूका वैरीहरूले भने, 'हामी दोषी छैनौं, किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु, आफ्ना साँचो घर, आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूको आशाको विरुद्धमा पाप गरे ।'
All who found them have devoured them, and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers.
8 बेबिलोनको बिचबाट निस्केर आओ । कल्दीहरूको देशबाट बाहिर जाओ । बोकाहरूजस्ता होओ जुन अरू बगालभन्दा अगिअगि जान्छन् ।
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
9 किनकि हेर, मैले काम गर्न र बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा उत्तरबाट म महान् जातिहरूको समूहलाई खडा गर्न लागेको छु । तिनीहरू आफै त्यसको विरुद्धमा व्यवस्थित हुनेछन् । त्यहाँबाट बेबिलोन कब्जा गरिनेछ । तिनीहरूका काँडहरू निपुण योद्धाजस्ता छन् जो रित्तो हात फर्कँदैनन् ।
For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country, and they shall set themselves in array against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain.
10 कल्दी लुटको माल बन्नेछ । यसलाई लुट्नेहरू सबै सन्तुष्ट हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
And Chaldea shall be a prey. All who prey upon her shall be satisfied, says Jehovah.
11 तँ रमाउँछस् । मेरो उत्तराधिकारको लुटको मालमा तैंले उत्सव मनाउँछस् । खर्कमा नाच्ने बाछोझैं तँ वरिपरि उफ्रन्छस् । शक्तिशाली घोडाझैं तँ हिनहिनाउँछस् ।
Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye who plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
12 त्यसैले तेरी आमा अत्यन्तै लज्जित हुनेछे । तँलाई जन्म दिने शर्ममा पर्नेछे । हेर, त्यो जातिहरूका बिचमा नीच हुनेछे । त्यो उजाड, सक्खा भूमि र मरुभूमि हुनेछे ।
your mother shall be utterly put to shame. She who bore you shall be confounded. Behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 परमप्रभुको क्रोधको कारणले बेबिलोनमा आबादी हुनेछैन, तर यो पूर्ण रूपमा सर्वनाश हुनेछ । बेबिलोनको कारणले यसबाट भएर जाने हरेक व्यक्ति तर्सनेछ, र यसका सबै चोटको कारण तिनीहरू गिल्ला गर्नेछन् ।
Because of the wrath of Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 बेबिलोनको चारैतिर भएकाहरू हो, यसको विरुद्धमा आफैलाई व्यवस्थित गर । धनु तन्काउने हरेकले यसलाई प्रहार गर्नुपर्छ । आफ्नो कुनै पनि काँड बाँकी नराख, किनकि त्यसले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छ ।
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye who bend the bow. Shoot at her; spare no arrows. For she has sinned against Jehovah.
15 चारैतिर त्यसको विरुद्धमा सोर उच्च पार । त्यसले आत्मसमर्पण गरेको छ । त्यसका धरहराहरू ढलेका छन् । त्यसका पर्खालहरू भत्काइएका छन्, किनकि यो परमप्रभुको बदला हो । त्यसमाथि बदला लेओ । त्यसले जस्तो गरेको छ तेस्तै त्यसलाई गर ।
Shout against her round about. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks are fallen. Her walls are thrown down. For it is the vengeance of Jehovah. Take vengeance upon her. As she has done, do to her.
16 बेबिलोनमा बीउ छर्ने किसान र कटनीको समयमा हँसिया प्रयोग गर्ने दुवैलाई नाश पार । अत्याचारीको तरवारबाट हरेक व्यक्ति आफ्नै मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्कोस् । तिनीहरू आफ्नै देशमा फर्कून् ।
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn each one to his people, and they shall flee each one to his own land.
17 इस्राएल सिंहहरूद्वारा तितरबितर पारिएको र लखेटिएको भेडा हो । पहिले अश्शूरका राजाले त्यसलाई खायो । त्यसपछि बेबिलोनका राजाले त्यसका हड्डीहरू भाँचिदियो ।
Israel is a hunted sheep, the lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
18 त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, मैले बेबिलोनका राजा र त्यसको देशलाई दण्ड दिनै लागेको छु, जसरी मैले अश्शूरको देशलाई दण्ड दिएँ ।
Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 इस्राएललाई त्यसको मातृभूमिमा म पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु । ऊ कर्मेल र बाशानमा चर्नेछ । त्यसपछि ऊ एफ्राइम र गिलादका पहाडी इलाकामा सन्तुष्ट हुनेछ ।
And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
20 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, ती दिनमा र त्यो समयमा इस्राएलमा अधर्मको खोजी गरिनेछ, तर केही पनि पाइनेछैन । यहूदाका पापको विषयमा म जाँचबुझ गर्नेछु, तर केही पनि पाइने छैन, किनकि मैले जोगाउने बाँकीहरूलाई म क्षमा दिनेछु ।”
In those days, and in that time, says Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found. For I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.
21 “मरातैम देश र पकोदका बासिन्दाहरूको विरुद्धमा खडा होओ । यो परमप्रभु घोषणा हो, तिनीहरूलाई तरवारमा राख, र विनाशको लागि तिनीहरूलाई अलग गर— मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेझैं हरेक कुरा गर ।
Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them, says Jehovah, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 देशमा युद्धको ध्वनी र विशाल विनाशको सोर सुनिएको छ ।
A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 सबै देशका घन काटेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेर नाश गरिएका छन् । जातिहरूका बिचमा बेबिलोनचाहिं एउटा नष्ट गरिएको ठाउँ भएको छ ।
How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
24 ए बेबिलोन, मैले तेरो लागि एउटा पासो थापेको छु, र तँ निर्वासनमा लगिइस् अनि तँलाई त्यसको बारेमा थाहा नै भएन । तँलाई भेट्टाइयो र कब्जा गरियो, किनकि तैंले परमप्रभुको विरोध गरिस् ।
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou are also taken, O Babylon, and thou were not aware. Thou are found, and also caught, because thou have striven against Jehovah.
25 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो अस्त्रभण्डार खोल्नुभएको छ, र आफ्नो रिसले काम गर्ने उहाँले हातहतियार ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । कल्दीहरूको देशमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको काम छ ।
Jehovah has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation, for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, has a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 टाढाबाट त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर । त्यसका अन्नका ढुकुटीहरू खुला गर, र त्यसलाई अन्नको थुप्रोझैं थुपार । त्यसलाई विनाशको लागि अलग गर । त्यसको बाँकी रहेको एउटैलाई पनि नछोड ।
Come against her from the utmost border. Open her store-houses. Cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.
27 त्यसका सबै साँढेहरूलाई मार । तिनीहरूलाई काटिने ठाउँमा पठाओ । तिनीहरूलाई धिक्का छ! किनकि तिनीहरूका दिन— तिनीहरूका दण्डको समय आएको छ ।
Kill all her bullocks. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
28 बेबिलोनको देशबाट भागिरहेकाहरू र त्यहाँ बाँचेकाहरूको आवाज सुनिन्छ । यिनीहरूले सियोनका लागि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको बदला र उहाँको मन्दिरको बदलाको खबर दिनेछन् ।”
The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 “बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा काँड हान्नेहरू, आफ्ना धनु तान्नेहरूलाई बोलाओ । त्यसको विरुद्धमा छाउनी हाल, र कोही पनि भाग्न नपाओस् । त्यसले गरेको कामअनुसार त्यसको बदला लेओ । त्यसले प्रयोग गरेको नापअनुसार त्यसलाई गर । किनभने त्यसले परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमपवित्रलाई दुषित पारेको थियो ।
Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her round about; let none thereof escape. Recompense her according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her. For she has been proud against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 त्यसैले त्यसका युवाहरू सहरका चोकहरूमा ढल्नेछन्, र त्यस दिन त्यसका योद्धाहरू नष्ट हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Jehovah.
31 “हेर्, अहङ्कारी, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु, यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, किनकि ए अहंकारी, तँलाई दण्ड दिने तेरो दिन आइपुगेको छ, जति बेला म तँलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, for thy day has come, the time that I will visit thee.
32 त्यसैले अहङ्कारीहरू ठक्कर खानेछन् र ढल्नेछन् । कसैले तिनीहरूलाई उठाउनेछैन । म तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा आगो लगाउनेछु । त्यसले उसको वरिपरि भएको हरेक कुरोलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।
And the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all who are round about him.
33 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँगै इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गरिएको छ । तिनीहरूलाई कब्जा गर्नेहरूले अझै पनि तिनीहरूलाई थुनिराखेका छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गर्छन् ।
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah are oppressed together, and all who took them captive hold them firm; they refuse to let them go.
34 तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने बलवान् हुनुहुन्छ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु उहाँको नाउँ हो । देशमा चैन ल्याउन र बेबिलोनमा बस्नेहरूकहाँ द्वन्द ल्याउन उहाँले साँच्चै तिनीहरूको पक्षमा बोल्नुहुनेछ ।
Their Redeemer is strong. Jehovah of hosts is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, कल्दीहरूको विरुद्धमा र बेबिलोनका बासिन्दाहरू, त्यसका अगुवाहरू र यसका बुद्धिमानी मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा एउटा तरवार छ ।
A sword is upon the Chaldeans, says Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her rulers, and upon her wise men.
36 व्यर्थका कुराहरू गर्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू मूर्ख हुनेछन् । त्यसका सिपाहीहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू त्रासले भरिनेछन् ।
A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools. A sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
37 तिनीहरूका घोडाहरू, तिनीहरूका रथहरू र बेबिलोनको बिचमा भएका सबै मानिसको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ, यसैले तिनीहरू स्त्रीहरूझैं हुनेछन् । त्यसका भण्डारहरूमा तरवार आउँदैछ, र ती लुटिनेछन् ।
A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mixed people who are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women. A sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
38 त्यसका नदीहरूमा खडेरी पर्दैछ, र ती सुक्नेछन् । किनकि त्यो बेकम्मा मूर्तिहरूको देश हो, र आफ्ना डरलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूद्वारा बौलाहा बनाइएका मानिसहरूले झैं तिनीहरू व्यवहार गर्छन् ।
A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and they are mad over idols.
39 स्यालहरूसँगै मरुभूमिका जनावरहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन्, र अस्ट्रिचका बच्चाहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् । किनकि त्यसमा फेरि कहिल्यै बासिन्दा बस्नेछैनन् । पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म त्यहाँ कोही पनि बस्नेछैन ।
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein. And it shall no more be inhabited forever, nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 जसरी परमेश्वरले सदोम र गमोरा अनि तिनीहरूका छिमेकीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुभयो, त्यसरी नै त्यहाँ कोही बस्नेछैन, कुनै व्यक्ति त्यहाँ रहनेछैन, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says Jehovah, so shall no man dwell there, nor shall any son of man sojourn in it.
41 “हेर, उत्तरबाट एउटा जाति आउँदैछ । पृथ्वीको पल्लो छेउबाट एउटा जाति र धेरै राजाहरूलाई उत्तेजित पारिंदैछ ।
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the outermost parts of the earth.
42 तिनीहरूले धनु र भालाहरू उठाउनेछन् । तिनीहरू क्रुर छन् र दया देखाउँदैनन् । ए बेबिलोनकी छोरी हो, तिनीहरूको सोर समुद्रको गर्जनझैं छ, र युद्ध गर्न तयार मानिसहरूझैं तेरो विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू घोडामा सवार हुँदैछन् ।
They lay hold on bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, each one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 बेबिलोनका राजाले तिनीहरूको बारेमा खबर सुन्यो, र त्यसका हात चिन्ताले फतक्कै गले । प्रसव-वेदनामा परेकी स्त्रीझैं वेदनाले त्यसलाई समात्यो ।
The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 हेर्, त्यो यर्दनका जङ्गलहरूबाट सधैं हरिया रहने ठाउँमा सिंहझैं माथि उक्लनेछ । किनकि तिनीहरूलाई म तुरुन्तै त्यहाँबाट भाग्न लगाउनेछु, र यसको जिम्मामा म चुनिएको कसैलाई नियुक्त गर्नेछु । किनकि मजस्तो को छ अनि कसले मलाई बोलाउनेछ र? कुनचाहिं गोठालोले मेरो विरोध गर्न सक्छ?
Behold, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation. For I will suddenly make them run away from it, and he who is chosen, him I will appoint over it. For who is like me, and who will appoint a time for me, and who is the shepherd who can stand before me?
45 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा निधो गर्नुभएका योजनाहरू, कल्दीहरूको देशको विरुद्धमा उहाँले रच्नुभएका योजनाहरू सुन । निश्चय नै स-साना बगालका पनि घिस्याएर लगिनेछन् । तिनीहरूका खर्कहरू उजाड-स्थानमा परिणत हुनेछन् ।
Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he has taken against Babylon, and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
46 बेबिलोन पराजित गरिएको सोरमा पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ, र जातिहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको चिन्ताको सोर सुनिन्छ ।”
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations.
