< यर्मिया 50 >
1 यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा कल्दीहरूको देश बेबिलोनको विषयमा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको वचन यही हो,
The word that YHWH has spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of 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 among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say, Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Merodach has been broken, Her grievous things have been put to shame, Her idols have been broken.
3 यसको विरुद्धमा उत्तरबाट एउटा जातिको उदय हुनेछ, र यसको देशलाई उजाड पार्नेछ । यसमा कोही बस्ने छैन । मानिस र पशु दुवै भाग्नेछन् ।
For a nation from the north has come up against her, It makes her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even to beast, They have moved, they have gone.
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 at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “Sons of Israel come in, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And they seek their God YHWH.
5 तिनीहरूले सियोनतिर जाने बाटो सोध्नेछन्, र यसो भन्दै त्यतैतिर फर्कनेछन्, हामि जानेछौं र परमप्रभुसित कहिलै नबिर्सिने अनन्त करारमा सहभगी हुनेछौं ।”
They ask the way [to] Zion, Their faces [are] toward that place: Come in, and we are joined to YHWH, A perpetual covenant—never 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 a perishing flock, Their shepherds have caused them to err, Causing them to go back [on] the mountains, They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their crouching-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 finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against YHWH, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers—YHWH.
8 बेबिलोनको बिचबाट निस्केर आओ । कल्दीहरूको देशबाट बाहिर जाओ । बोकाहरूजस्ता होओ जुन अरू बगालभन्दा अगिअगि जान्छन् ।
Move from the midst of Babylon, And go out from the land of the Chaldeans; And be as male goats before a flock.
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 behold, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from [the] land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From there she is captured, Its arrow—as a skillful hero—does not return empty,
10 कल्दी लुटको माल बन्नेछ । यसलाई लुट्नेहरू सबै सन्तुष्ट हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
And Chaldea has been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied,” A declaration of YHWH.
11 तँ रमाउँछस् । मेरो उत्तराधिकारको लुटको मालमा तैंले उत्सव मनाउँछस् । खर्कमा नाच्ने बाछोझैं तँ वरिपरि उफ्रन्छस् । शक्तिशाली घोडाझैं तँ हिनहिनाउँछस् ।
“Because you rejoice, because you exult, O spoilers of My inheritance, Because you increase as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And cry aloud as bulls,
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 has been greatly ashamed, She who bore you has been confounded, Behold, the last of nations [is] 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 YHWH it is not inhabited, And it has been a desolation—all of it. Everyone passing by at Babylon is astonished, And hisses because of 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 all around, All you treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For she has sinned against YHWH.
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 all around, She has given forth her hand, Her foundations have fallen, Her walls have been thrown down, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, Be avenged of her, as she did—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 handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
17 इस्राएल सिंहहरूद्वारा तितरबितर पारिएको र लखेटिएको भेडा हो । पहिले अश्शूरका राजाले त्यसलाई खायो । त्यसपछि बेबिलोनका राजाले त्यसका हड्डीहरू भाँचिदियो ।
Israel [is as] a scattered sheep, Lions have driven [him] away, At first, the king of Asshur devoured him, And now, at last, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bone.
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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after the king of Asshur;
19 इस्राएललाई त्यसको मातृभूमिमा म पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु । ऊ कर्मेल र बाशानमा चर्नेछ । त्यसपछि ऊ एफ्राइम र गिलादका पहाडी इलाकामा सन्तुष्ट हुनेछ ।
And I have brought Israel back to his habitation, And he has fed on Carmel and on Bashan; And his soul is satisfied on Mount Ephraim and on 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 at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “The iniquity of Israel is sought, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
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 ।
Against the land of Merathaim, go up against it, And to the inhabitants of Pekod, Dry up and devote their posterity,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 देशमा युद्धको ध्वनी र विशाल विनाशको सोर सुनिएको छ ।
A noise 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 it has been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How Babylon has been for a desolation among 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 you, And you are also captured, O Babylon, And you have known, You have been found, and are also caught, For you have stirred yourself up against YHWH.
25 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो अस्त्रभण्डार खोल्नुभएको छ, र आफ्नो रिसले काम गर्ने उहाँले हातहतियार ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । कल्दीहरूको देशमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको काम छ ।
YHWH has opened His treasury, And He brings out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, 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 in to her from the extremity, Open her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
27 त्यसका सबै साँढेहरूलाई मार । तिनीहरूलाई काटिने ठाउँमा पठाओ । तिनीहरूलाई धिक्का छ! किनकि तिनीहरूका दिन— तिनीहरूका दण्डको समय आएको छ ।
Slay all her cows, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for their day has come, The time of their inspection.
28 बेबिलोनको देशबाट भागिरहेकाहरू र त्यहाँ बाँचेकाहरूको आवाज सुनिन्छ । यिनीहरूले सियोनका लागि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको बदला र उहाँको मन्दिरको बदलाको खबर दिनेछन् ।”
A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of our God YHWH, 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 ।
Summon archers to Babylon, all treading the bow, Encamp against her all around, Let [her] have no escape; Repay to her according to her work, According to all that she did—do to her, For she has been proud against YHWH, 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 fall in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 you, O pride,” A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts, “For your day has come, the time of your inspection.
32 त्यसैले अहङ्कारीहरू ठक्कर खानेछन् र ढल्नेछन् । कसैले तिनीहरूलाई उठाउनेछैन । म तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा आगो लगाउनेछु । त्यसले उसको वरिपरि भएको हरेक कुरोलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।
And pride has stumbled, And he has fallen, and has none raising up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it has devoured all around 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 said YHWH of Hosts: The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
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, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, He thoroughly pleads their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He has given trouble to 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] for the Chaldeans,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on her wise men;
36 व्यर्थका कुराहरू गर्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू मूर्ख हुनेछन् । त्यसका सिपाहीहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू त्रासले भरिनेछन् ।
A sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;
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] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;
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 sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of carved images, And they boast themselves in 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 desert-dwellers dwell with howlers, Indeed, daughters of the ostrich have dwelt in her, And it is not inhabited anymore forever, Nor 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 the overthrow by God of Sodom, And of Gomorrah, and of its neighbors,” A declaration of YHWH, “None dwell there, Nor does a son of man sojourn in her.
41 “हेर, उत्तरबाट एउटा जाति आउँदैछ । पृथ्वीको पल्लो छेउबाट एउटा जाति र धेरै राजाहरूलाई उत्तेजित पारिंदैछ ।
Behold, a people has come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides 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 seize bow and javelin, They [are] cruel, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, and they ride on horses, Set in array as a man for battle, Against you, 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 their report, And his hands have been feeble, Distress has seized him; pain as a travailing woman.
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, he comes up as a lion, Because of the rising of the Jordan, To the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? I lay a charge on her, For who [is] like Me? And who convenes Me? And who [is] this shepherd who stands 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 the counsel of YHWH, That He counseled concerning Babylon, And His plans that He has devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Do little ones of the flock not drag them out, Does He not make the habitation desolate over them?
46 बेबिलोन पराजित गरिएको सोरमा पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ, र जातिहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको चिन्ताको सोर सुनिन्छ ।”
From the sound of Babylon having been captured, The earth has been shaken, And a cry has been heard among nations!”
