यर्मिया 50
1 यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा कल्दीहरूको देश बेबिलोनको विषयमा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको वचन यही हो,
Yahweh gave to [me, ] Jeremiah the prophet, a message about Babylon [city] and the country of Babylonia.
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 ।'
[This is what Yahweh says]: “Proclaim [DOU] [a message] among the nations; do not withhold any of it; raise up a signal flag to announce that Babylon will be captured. [Its chief god] Marduk, [whose other name is] Bel, will be completely disgraced, and all the [other] statues and idols will be shattered.
3 यसको विरुद्धमा उत्तरबाट एउटा जातिको उदय हुनेछ, र यसको देशलाई उजाड पार्नेछ । यसमा कोही बस्ने छैन । मानिस र पशु दुवै भाग्नेछन् ।
[The army of] a nation will come from the north to attack Babylon and destroy the city very thoroughly, [with the result that] no one will live there [again]. Both people and animals will run away.”
4 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, ती दिनमा र त्यो समयमा इस्राएल र यहूदाका मानिसहरू रुँदैरुँदै जान र परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्न सँगसँगै आउनेछन् ।
“But [I, ] Yahweh, say that in the future, when that is about to happen, the people of Israel and the people of Judah will join together. They will be weeping and wanting [to worship] me, their God.
5 तिनीहरूले सियोनतिर जाने बाटो सोध्नेछन्, र यसो भन्दै त्यतैतिर फर्कनेछन्, हामि जानेछौं र परमप्रभुसित कहिलै नबिर्सिने अनन्त करारमा सहभगी हुनेछौं ।”
They will inquire about the road to Jerusalem, [and then] they will start traveling [IDM] toward it. They will say [to each other], ‘We must return to Yahweh [again]!’ They will make an everlasting agreement with me that they will never forget.
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 [like] [MET] lost sheep. Their [leaders/rulers] have caused them [to abandon me] like [MET] shepherds who have allowed their sheep to wander in the hills and mountains. [My people are like] [MET] sheep that do not know the path to return to the sheepfold.
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 their enemies who found them attacked them. They said, ‘We did not sin [by attacking them], because they sinned against Yahweh; he is the one who provides what they need; he is the one to whom they should have remained faithful; he is the one whom their ancestors confidently expected [to help them].’
8 बेबिलोनको बिचबाट निस्केर आओ । कल्दीहरूको देशबाट बाहिर जाओ । बोकाहरूजस्ता होओ जुन अरू बगालभन्दा अगिअगि जान्छन् ।
[But now, I say to the leaders of my people], ‘Flee from Babylon! Leave the land of Babylonia! Be like [SIM] male goats [that go] in front of [the rest of] the flock; [lead my people back to their own land].
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 ।
[Do that] because I am going to gather an army of great nations to the north [of Babylon]. They will join together to attack Babylon and will capture it. Their arrows will be like [SIM] skilled warriors that always hit what they aim at.
10 कल्दी लुटको माल बन्नेछ । यसलाई लुट्नेहरू सबै सन्तुष्ट हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Babylonia will be conquered, and those who conquer it will take away everything they want. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 तँ रमाउँछस् । मेरो उत्तराधिकारको लुटको मालमा तैंले उत्सव मनाउँछस् । खर्कमा नाच्ने बाछोझैं तँ वरिपरि उफ्रन्छस् । शक्तिशाली घोडाझैं तँ हिनहिनाउँछस् ।
“You people [of Babylon] who (plundered/stole everything valuable from) my chosen people, now you are very happy [DOU]. You run around joyfully like [SIM] a calf in a meadow, and are happy like [SIM] male horses are happy when they are neighing.
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 ।
But [soon] your people will be very disgraced [DOU] [as a result of being conquered]. Your country will be the most insignificant nation; it will be a desert, a dry and deserted land.
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 [I, ] Yahweh, am angry [with you people of Babylon], I will cause your city to become completely deserted. All who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) because of the destruction there.
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 ।
[All you nations that surround Babylon, ] prepare to attack it! Tell your archers to shoot at their enemies; shoot all of your arrows at them [LIT], because [the people/leaders of Babylon have sinned against me, ] Yahweh.
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 [war-cries] against Babylon from all sides [of the city]. [The soldiers of] Babylon will surrender; the towers and walls will be torn down. It is [I, ] Yahweh, who will be getting revenge [on the people of Babylon], [so help me to] get revenge. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others!
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 ।
Take away from Babylon those who plant [crops] and those who reap the harvests! Because of the swords carried by those who will attack [Babylon], [those people in Babylon who have come from other countries] should all run away, back to their own countries [DOU]!”
17 इस्राएल सिंहहरूद्वारा तितरबितर पारिएको र लखेटिएको भेडा हो । पहिले अश्शूरका राजाले त्यसलाई खायो । त्यसपछि बेबिलोनका राजाले त्यसका हड्डीहरू भाँचिदियो ।
“The Israeli [people] are [like] [MET] sheep that have been scattered by lions. First [the army of] the King of Assyria defeated them. Then [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon smashed them.
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 ।
So this is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], say: ‘Now I will punish the King of Babylon and the people of his land, like I 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 the people of Israel back to their own land where they will eat [the food that grows] in the fields of the Carmel and Bashan [regions], and [the people in] the hilly areas of Ephraim and Gilead will have all they want to eat.
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 ।”
At that time, there will not be people in Israel and in Judah who [are still guilty for having] sinned [DOU], because I will forgive the small group of people whom I enable to still be alive.’”
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 ।
“[So, I, Yahweh, say to the enemies of Babylonia, ]‘Attack [the people who live in] the Merathaim [region] and the people in the Pekod [region of Babylonia]. Pursue them, kill them, and completely get rid of them, as I have commanded you to do.
22 देशमा युद्धको ध्वनी र विशाल विनाशको सोर सुनिएको छ ।
Shout your battle cries throughout the land; shout [when you are causing] great destruction.
23 सबै देशका घन काटेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेर नाश गरिएका छन् । जातिहरूका बिचमा बेबिलोनचाहिं एउटा नष्ट गरिएको ठाउँ भएको छ ।
[The army of Babylon is like] [MET] the most powerful hammer on the earth, but it will be completely shattered. Babylon will be deserted among the [other] 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 ।
You [people of] Babylon, [listen, ] [because] I have set a trap for you; you will be caught [in that trap], because you fought against me.
25 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो अस्त्रभण्डार खोल्नुभएको छ, र आफ्नो रिसले काम गर्ने उहाँले हातहतियार ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । कल्दीहरूको देशमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको काम छ ।
[It is as though] I have opened the place where I store my weapons, and I have brought out [all] the weapons [to use against the people with whom] I am angry. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have [a lot of] work to do [to punish] the people of Babylonia.
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 ।
[So, you enemies of Babylonia, ] come from distant lands and attack it. Break open the places where they store the grain. Crush the walls of the city and the houses and pile up [the rubble like] [SIM] heaps of grain. Destroy everything; do not leave anything that is not destroyed.
27 त्यसका सबै साँढेहरूलाई मार । तिनीहरूलाई काटिने ठाउँमा पठाओ । तिनीहरूलाई धिक्का छ! किनकि तिनीहरूका दिन— तिनीहरूका दण्डको समय आएको छ ।
Destroy all the [young men who are as strong as] [MET] bulls; take them to where you will slaughter them. It will be terrible for them, because it will be time for them to be punished.
28 बेबिलोनको देशबाट भागिरहेकाहरू र त्यहाँ बाँचेकाहरूको आवाज सुनिन्छ । यिनीहरूले सियोनका लागि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको बदला र उहाँको मन्दिरको बदलाको खबर दिनेछन् ।”
Listen to the people who have fled and escaped from Babylon while they tell in Jerusalem how [I, ] Yahweh, have gotten revenge against those who destroyed my temple [in Jerusalem].
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 [DOU] to come to attack Babylon; surround the city in order that no one will escape. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others [DOU], because they have defied [me, ] the Holy One of the Israeli [people].
30 त्यसैले त्यसका युवाहरू सहरका चोकहरूमा ढल्नेछन्, र त्यस दिन त्यसका योद्धाहरू नष्ट हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
The young men of Babylon will fall in the streets; all their soldiers will be killed in one day.
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 ।
[I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘You arrogant/proud people, it is now the time; it is the time [DOU] when I will punish you.
32 त्यसैले अहङ्कारीहरू ठक्कर खानेछन् र ढल्नेछन् । कसैले तिनीहरूलाई उठाउनेछैन । म तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा आगो लगाउनेछु । त्यसले उसको वरिपरि भएको हरेक कुरोलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।
[Your land is full of] proud people, but you will stumble and fall, and no one will lift you up [again]. I will light a fire in the cities in Babylonia that will burn up everything that is nearby.’
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 ।
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, also say this: ‘The people of Israel and Judah were (oppressed/treated cruelly); those who captured them guarded them carefully and would not allow them to leave [Babylon].
34 तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने बलवान् हुनुहुन्छ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु उहाँको नाउँ हो । देशमा चैन ल्याउन र बेबिलोनमा बस्नेहरूकहाँ द्वन्द ल्याउन उहाँले साँच्चै तिनीहरूको पक्षमा बोल्नुहुनेछ ।
But I am strong, and I will free them. I am the Commander of the armies of angels; I will defend my people and enable them [to return to] their land where they will have peace, but the people of Babylonia will not have peace.
35 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, कल्दीहरूको विरुद्धमा र बेबिलोनका बासिन्दाहरू, त्यसका अगुवाहरू र यसका बुद्धिमानी मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा एउटा तरवार छ ।
[I will send enemy soldiers carrying] swords [PRS] to strike the people of Babylonia; they will strike the officials and wise men and all the [other] people who live in Babylon.
36 व्यर्थका कुराहरू गर्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू मूर्ख हुनेछन् । त्यसका सिपाहीहरूको विरुद्धमा तरवार छ । तिनीहरू त्रासले भरिनेछन् ।
They will strike their false prophets with swords and they will become foolish. They will strike the [strongest] warriors of Babylonia, and they will all be terrified.
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 ।
They will strike their horses and chariots and the foreigners who are in the army of Babylonia, and they will [all] become [as weak] as [MET] women. They will seize [MTY] all the valuable things there in Babylon and take them away.
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 ।
[I] cause the streams to become dry. [I will do all those things] because the [entire] land [of Babylonia] is filled with idols, and those [horrible] idols have caused the people [who worship them] to become crazy.
39 स्यालहरूसँगै मरुभूमिका जनावरहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन्, र अस्ट्रिचका बच्चाहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् । किनकि त्यसमा फेरि कहिल्यै बासिन्दा बस्नेछैनन् । पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म त्यहाँ कोही पनि बस्नेछैन ।
[Soon only] hyenas and [other] wild creatures will live there; and it will be a place where owls live. People will never live there again; it will be uninhabited forever [DOU].
40 जसरी परमेश्वरले सदोम र गमोरा अनि तिनीहरूका छिमेकीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुभयो, त्यसरी नै त्यहाँ कोही बस्नेछैन, कुनै व्यक्ति त्यहाँ रहनेछैन, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
[I will destroy Babylon] like I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns; no one will [ever] live there [again] [DOU].
41 “हेर, उत्तरबाट एउटा जाति आउँदैछ । पृथ्वीको पल्लो छेउबाट एउटा जाति र धेरै राजाहरूलाई उत्तेजित पारिंदैछ ।
Look! A [great] army will come from the north. A great nation far away with many kings is preparing [to attack you people of Babylon].
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 ।
Their [army] has bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. [As] they ride along on [their] horses, the sound of the horses’ hooves is like [SIM] the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you, you people 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 says, “[I] have heard reports about the enemy [approaching]; [so I am very frightened, with the result that] I am weak. I am [very fearful, and] anguished/worried, like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.”
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?
I, [Yahweh], will come to Babylon [suddenly] like a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are eating] the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Babylonia from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them [a leader] whom I will choose; [I will do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can say that what I have done is not right. No ruler can [RHQ] oppose 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 ।
Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Babylon [city] and the rest of Babylonia: [even] the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely destroy the people [MET] who live there.
46 बेबिलोन पराजित गरिएको सोरमा पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ, र जातिहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको चिन्ताको सोर सुनिन्छ ।”
When Babylon is destroyed, the noise will be extremely loud, with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard by the [people of other] nations.’”
