< यर्मिया 51 >
1 “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः ‘हेर्, बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा र लेब-कमाइमा बस्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा समेत मैले विनाशको हुरीबतासलाई उत्तेजित पार्नै लागेको छु ।
This is what the Lord says: Look! I'm going to stir up a destructive wind against Babylon and against the people of Babylonia.
2 म बेबिलोनमा विदेशीहरू पठाउनेछु । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई तितर-बितर पार्नेछन्, र त्यसको देशलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछन्, किनकि विपत्तिको दिनमा तिनीहरू चारैतिरबाट त्यसको विरुद्धमा आउनेछन् ।
I will send foreign soldiers to attack Babylon to winnow her and turn her country into a wasteland—they will attack her from all directions when her time of trouble comes.
3 धनुर्धारीहरूलाई आफ्ना धनु तान्न नदेओ । तिनीहरूलाई कवच लगाउन नदेओ । त्यसका युवाहरूलाई नजोगाऊ । त्यसका सम्पूर्ण सेनालाई विनाशको लागि अलग गर ।
The archer doesn't need to use his bow; the infantryman doesn't need to put on his armor. Don't spare her young soldiers; set apart her whole army for destruction!
4 किनभने घाइते मानिसहरू कल्दीहरूको देशमा ढल्नेछन् । मारिएकाहरू त्यसका सडकहरूमा ढल्नेछन् ।
They will fall down wounded in her streets, killed in the country of Babylonia.
5 किनभने इस्राएल र यहूदाको देश इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको विरुद्धमा गरिएको अपराधले भरिएको भए तापनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई बिर्सनुभएको छैन ।
Israel and Judah have not been deserted by their God, the Lord Almighty, even though they sinned against the Holy One of Israel everywhere in their country.
6 बेबिलोनको बिचबाट भाग । हरेक मानिसलाई आफ्नै ज्यान बचाउन देओ । त्यसको अधर्ममा नष्ट नहोओ । किनकि यो परमप्रभुको बदलको समय हो । त्यसका सबै कुराको बदला उहाँले लिनुहुनेछ ।
Escape from Babylon! Run for your lives! Don't get caught up in her punishment and die, for this is the time when the Lord pays her back for her sins.
7 परमप्रभुको हातमा बेबिलोन एउटा सुनको कचौरा थियो जसले सारा संसारलाई मत्त्याएको थियो । जातिहरूले त्यसको दाखमद्य पिए र बौलाहा भए ।
Once Babylon was a golden cup the Lord held in his hand. She made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine which is why they went mad.
8 बेबिलोन अकस्मात् ढल्नेछ, र नष्ट हुनेछ । त्यसको लागि विलाप गर । त्यसको पीडाको लागि औषधी देओ । सायद त्यो निको हुनेछ ।
Now, all of a sudden, Babylon has fallen. She has been smashed to pieces. Weep for her; get her some treatment for her pain. Maybe she can be healed.
9 'हामीले बेबिलोनलाई निको पार्न चाह्यौं, तर त्यो निको भएन । हामी सबैले त्यसलाई छोडौं र हाम्रो आफ्नै देशमा जाऔं । किनकि त्यसको दोष आकाशसम्मै पुगेको छ । यो बादलमा थुप्रिएको छ ।
“We tried to heal her, but she couldn't be helped. So give up on her! All of us should go home to where we came from. The news of her punishment has reached everywhere, all the way to heaven.
10 परमप्रभुले हामीलाई निर्दोष घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ । आओ, सियोनमा परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरका कामहरू बताऔं ।'
The Lord has encouraged and supported us. Come on, let's tell people here in Jerusalem what the Lord has done for us!”
11 काँडहरू तिखा बनाओ र ढालहरू उठाओ । बेबिलोनलाई नष्ट गर्ने योजनामा परमप्रभुले मादीका राजाको आत्मालाई उत्तेजित पार्दै हुनुहुन्छ । यो परमप्रभुको बदला हो, उहाँको मन्दिरको विनाशको लागि लिइने बदला हो ।
Sharpen the arrows! Pick up the shields! The Lord has encouraged the kings of the Medes, because his plan is directed at the destruction of Babylon. The Lord is paying them back for what happened to his Temple.
12 बेबिलोनका पर्खालहरूमा झण्डा फहराओ । गार्डहरूलाई सजग बनाओ । पहरेदारहरू खडा गर । लुकेर हमला गर्ने ठाउँहरू तयार गर । किनभने बेबिलोनको विषयमा परमप्रभुले जे भन्नुभएको छ, त्यो उहाँले गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Raise the signal flag to attack the walls of Babylon; strengthen the guard; have the watchmen take their places; get the ambush ready. The Lord planned and carried out his threats against the people of Babylon.
13 ए धेरै पानी भएको ठाउँनेर बस्ने मानिसहरू हो, ए धेरै धन-सम्पत्ति भएका मानिसहरू हो, तिमीहरूको अन्त्य आएको छ । तिमीहरूको जीवनको धागो अब काटेर छोटो पारिएको छ ।
You people who live beside by many waters, and have so much wealth, this is the time of your end—your life will be cut short.
14 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले आफ्नै जीवनको शपथ खानुभएको छ, ‘सलहको हुलझैं म तिमीहरूका बिचमा मानिसहरूले भर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धको सोर निकाल्ने छन् ।’
The Lord Almighty vowed by his own life, saying, I'm going to make sure to fill you with so many enemy soldiers they'll be like locusts. They will shout as they celebrate their victory over you.
15 उहाँले आफ्नै शक्तिले पृथ्वी बनाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नै बुद्धिले संसारलाई त्यसको ठाउँमा राख्नुभयो । उहाँले आफ्नो समझशक्तिद्वारा उहाँले आकाशलाई तान्नुभयो ।
It was God who made the earth by his power. He created the world by his wisdom and by his understanding he put the heavens in place.
16 उहाँ गर्जनुहुँदा आकाशमा पानीको गड्याङगुडुङ हुन्छ, किनकि उहाँले पृथ्वीको छेउबाट तुवाँलो ल्याउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले वर्षाको लागि बिजुली चम्काउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो भण्डारहरूबाट बतास पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
The waters of the heavens rain down with a roar at his command. He makes the clouds to rise all over the earth. He makes lightning to accompany rain, and sends the wind from his storehouses.
17 हरेक मानिस ज्ञानविना अज्ञानी भएको छ । हरेक सुनार उसका मूर्तिहरूद्वारा लाजमा पारिएको छ । किनभने उसले ढालेर बनाएका प्रतिमूर्तिहरू झूटा हुन्, र तिनमा जीवन हुँदैन ।
Everyone is stupid; they don't know anything. Every metalworker is embarrassed by the idols they make. For their images made of molten metal are fraudulent—they're not alive!
18 ती बेकम्मा छन् । ती गिल्ला गर्नेहरूका काम हुन् । तिनीहरूको दण्डको समयमा ती नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
They are useless, an object to be laughed at. They will be destroyed at the time of their punishment.
19 तर परमेश्वर जो याकूबको हिस्सा हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँ यीजस्ता हुनुहुन्न, किनकि उहाँले नै सबै थोक बनाउनुहुन्छ । इस्राएल उहाँको उत्तराधिकारको कुल हो । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु उहाँको नाउँ हो ।
The God of Jacob is not like these idols, for he is the creator of everything, including his own people that are special to him. The Lord Almighty is his name.
20 तँ मेरो युद्धको घन, युद्धको लागि मेरो हतियार हो । तँद्वारा नै म जातिहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु, र राज्यहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नेछु ।
You are my war club, the weapon I use in battle. I use you to destroy nations; I use you to destroy kingdoms.
21 तँद्वारा नै म घोडाहरू र तिनमा सवार हुनेहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु । तँद्वारा नै म रथहरू र सारथीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु ।
I use you to destroy horses and their riders; I use you to destroy chariots and their drivers.
22 तँद्वारा नै म हरेक पुरुष र स्त्रीलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु । तँद्वारा नै म पाकाहरू र बालबालिकालाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु । तँद्वारा नै म युवाहरू र कन्या केटीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु ।
I use you to destroy men and women; I use you to destroy old men and youths; I use you to destroy young men and girls.
23 तँद्वारा नै म गोठालाहरू र तिनीहरूका बगालहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु । तँद्वारा नै म जोत्ने मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूको समूहलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु । तँद्वारा नै म गभर्नरहरू र अधिकारीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु ।
I use you to destroy shepherds and their flocks; I use you to destroy farmers and their cattle; I use you to destroy rulers and state officials.
24 तैंले देख्ने गरी म बेबिलोन र कल्दीका सबै बासिन्दालाई बदला लिनेछु, किनकि तिनीहरूले सियोनमा सारा किसिमका दुष्ट काम गरेका छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Right in front of you I'm going to pay back Babylon and everyone who live in Babylonia for all the evil they did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord.
25 ए विनाशको पहाड, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु जसले सारा पृथ्वीलाई नष्ट पार्छ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । तेरो विरुद्धमा म आफ्नो हात पसार्नेछु, र तँलाई भिरबाट तल खसाल्नेछु, र तँलाई डढेलो लागेको पहाड तुल्याउनेछु ।
Watch out, because I am against you, you destructive monster who devastates the whole world, declares the Lord. I will reach out to attack you; I will roll you down the cliffs; I will turn you into a mountain of ash.
26 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले भवनको कुने-ढुङ्गो वा जग बसाल्न तँबाट कुनै कुनै ढुङ्गा लिनेछैनन् । किनकि तँ सदाको निम्ति सर्वानाश हुनेछस्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Nobody will be even able to find themselves a cornerstone or a foundation stone among your ruins, because you will be so utterly destroyed, declares the Lord.
27 पृथ्वीमा झण्ड फहराओ । जातिहरूका बिचमा तुरही फुक । त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्न जातिहरू अर्थात् आरारात, मिन्नी र अशकनजलाई बोलाओ । त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्न कमान्डर नियुक्त गर । सलहहरूको हुलझैं घोडाहरू ल्याओ ।
Raise a signal flag in the country! Blow the trumpet call to war among the nations! Get the nations ready to attack her; Summon the kingdoms to march against her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Choose a commander to lead the armies to attack her; send into battle cavalry like a swarm of locusts.
28 त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्न जातिहरूलाई तयार पार । मादीका राजाहरू, त्यसका गभर्नरहरू, त्यसका सबै अधिकारी र त्यसले शासन गरेका सबै देशलाई तयार पार ।
Have the armies of the nations prepare for battle against her. This applies to the kings of the Medes, their leaders and all their officers, and every country they rule.
29 किनकि देश हल्लिनेछ, र वेदनामा हुनेछ, किनकि कुनै बासिन्दा नबस्ने गरी बेबिलोनको देशलाई उजाड पार्ने परमप्रभुका योजनाहरू बेबिलोनका विरुद्धमा जारी छन् ।
The earth quakes and trembles because the Lord is determined to carry out what he threatened against Babylon—to turn Babylonia into a wasteland where no one lives.
30 बेबिलोनका सिपाहीहरूले लडाइँ गर्न रोकेका छन् । तिनीहरू आ-आफ्ना किल्लाहरूमा बस्छन् । तिनीहरूको ताकत हराएर गएको छ । तिनीहरू स्त्रीझैं भएका छन् । त्यसका घरहरू आगो लगाइएका छन्, र त्यसका मूल ढोकाका गजबारहरू भाँचिएका छन् ।
Babylon's defenders have given up fighting—they're just sitting in their fortresses. They're worn out; they've become like frightened women. Babylon's houses are burning; the bars securing her gates have been smashed.
31 बेबिलोनका राजाको सहरको एउटा छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म कब्जा गरिएको छ भनी राजालाई सुनाउन एउटा समाचारवाहक अर्को समाचारवाहककहाँ दौडन्छ, र एउटा धावकले अर्को धावकलाई बताउँछ ।
A runner hands his message over to another to carry; one messenger follows another messenger, all of them alerting the king of Babylon to the news that his city has been completely conquered,
32 नदीका जँघारहरू कब्जा गरिएका छन् । शत्रुले सिमसारहरूमा आगो लगाउँदैछ, र बेबिलोनका योद्धाहरू अलमलमा पारिएका छन् ।”
the river crossings have been captured, the marshlands set on fire and his soldiers are panicking.
33 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः बेबिलोनकी छोरी खलाजस्तै छे । यो त्यसलाई कुल्चने समय हो । केही क्षणमा नै त्यसको कटनीको समय आउनेछ ।
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The people of Babylon are like a threshing floor when the grain is trampled out. Her time of harvest will come very soon.
34 'बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले मलाई खाएको छ, उसले मलाई अलमलमा पारेको छ, र मलाई रित्तो भाँडो बनाएको छ । राक्षसले झैं त्यसले मलाई निलेको छ । मेरा स्वादिष्ट खानाले त्यसले आफ्नो पेट भरेको छ, र त्यसले मलाई बान्ता गरेर फालेको छ ।'
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon chewed me up and sucked me dry, making me as empty as a jar with nothing in it. He swallowed me down as if he were some monster, filling himself with the tastiest parts of me and throwing the rest away.
35 सियोनमा बस्नेले भन्छ, 'म र मेरो विरुद्धमा गरिएको हिंसा बेबिलोनमाथि नै परोस् ।' यरूशलेमले भन्नेछ, 'मेरो रगत कल्दीका बासिन्दाहरूमाथि परोस्' ।”
“Babylon must bear the responsibility for the violent attacks on us,” say the inhabitants of Zion. “The people of Babylonia must bear the responsibility for the blood shed in my city,” says Jerusalem.
36 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, मैले तेरो पक्ष लिन र तेरो लागि बदला लिन लागेको छु । किनकि म बेबिलोनको नदी सुकानेछु, र त्यसका पानीका मुहानहरू सुक्खा तुल्यानेछु ।
This is what the Lord says: Watch as I present your case for you and make your enemies pay for what they did to you. I'm going to dry up her river and her springs.
37 बेबिलोन भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो, स्यालहरू ओडार, त्रास र गिल्लाको पात्र हुनेछ, जहाँ कोही बासिन्दा छैन ।
Babylon will be turned into a pile of rubble, a home for jackals, a place that horrifies people, a place they jeer at, a place where no one lives.
38 बेबिलोनीहरू जवान सिंहहरूजस्तै गर्जन्छन् । तिनीहरू सिंहका बच्चाहरूजस्तै कराउँछन् ।
The Babylonians will roar together like powerful lions and growl like lion cubs.
39 तिनीहरू लोभले रिसाउँदा म तिनीहरूका निम्ति भोज तयार पार्नेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई मत्त्याउनेछु, यसैले कि तिनीहरू खुसी हुनेछन्, र तिनीहरू चिर निद्रामा सुत्नेछन्, अनि बिउँझने छैनन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो—
But while their passions are aroused, I will serve them a banquet and get them drunk. They'll celebrate so much that they'll pass out and won't ever wake up, declares the Lord.
40 म तिनीहरूलाई मारिनलाई लगिएका थुमाहरू, बोकाहरूसँगै भेडाहरूझैं तल पठाउनेछु ।
I will take them down like lambs to be slaughtered, like rams and goats.
41 कसरी बेबिलोनलाई कब्जा गरिएको छ! सारा पृथ्वीको प्रशंसा पक्राउमा परेको छ । कसरी बेबिलोन जातिहरूका बिचमा भग्नावशेषको ठाउँ भएको छ!
How could it be? Babylon has fallen! The most famous city in the world has been conquered! What a horrible sight Babylon has become to everyone watching!
42 बेबिलोनको माथि समुद्र आएको छ । यसका उर्लंदा छालहरूले त्यो ढाकिएको छ ।
It's as if the sea has flooded over Babylon, covering her in crashing waves.
43 त्यसका सहरहरू उजाड, सुक्खा भूमि र मरुभूमि भएका छन्, जहाँ कोही बस्दैन, र कुनै मानिस त्यताबाट जाँदैन ।
The towns of Babylonia are in ruins, turned into a dry desert wasteland where no one lives—no one even passes by.
44 त्यसैले म बेबिलोनमा नै बेललाई दण्ड दिनेछु । त्यसले आफ्नो मुखमा जे निलेको थियो, त्यो म बाहिर निकाल्नेछु, र जातिहरूले आ-आफ्ना उपहारहरू लिएर फेरि त्यसकहाँ ओइरिने छैनन् । बेबिलोनका पर्खालहरू ढल्नेछन् ।
I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will force him to spit out what he swallowed. People of other nations won't run to worship him anymore. Even Babylon's wall has fallen.
45 ए मेरा मानिसहरू हो, त्यसको बिचबाट बाहिर जाओ । मेरो क्रोधको ज्वालाबाट तिमीहरू हरेले आफ्नो प्राण बचाओ ।
My people, come out of her! Each one of you, save yourselves from the Lord's furious anger.
46 देशमा सुनिएको खबरले तिमीहरूको हृदयमा डर वा भय नहोस्, किनकि खबर एक वर्षसम्म आउनेछ । यसपछि अर्को वर्ष देशमा खबर र हिंसा हुनेछ । शासक शासकको विरुद्धमा हुनेछ ।
Don't lose courage, and don't be afraid when you hear different rumors going around the country. There'll be one rumor one year, and another one the next, talking about violent revolution, of one ruler fighting against another.
47 त्यसकारण, हेर, यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जति बेला म बेबिलोनका खोपेर बनाइएका मूर्तिहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । त्यसका सारा देश लाजमा पर्नेछन्, र त्यसका मारिएकाहरू सबै त्यसकै बिचमा ढल्नेछन् ।
Look, the time is coming when I will punish Babylon's idols. The whole country will be humiliated; it will be full of the dead bodies of those who have been killed.
48 त्यसपछि स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी अनि तिनमा भएका सबै कुराले बेबिलोनमाथि रमाहट गर्नेछन् । किनकि त्यसका विनाशकहरू उत्तरबाट आउनेछन्— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Then everyone in heaven and on earth will celebrate with shouts of joy at what's happened to Babylon, because the destroyers from the north will come and attack her, declares the Lord.
49 जसरी बेबिलोनले इस्राएलका मारिएकाहरूलाई ढालेको छ, त्यसरी नै त्यस देशका मारिएकाहरू बेबिलोनमा ढल्नेछन् ।
Babylon has to fall because of the Israelites and people of other nations she killed.
50 तरवारबाट बाँचेकाहरू हो, जाओ । अझै नबस । टाढा-टाढाबाट मनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकार । यरूशलेमको सम्झना गरियोस् ।
Those of you who have managed to escape being killed, leave now! Don't delay! Remember the Lord in this far away place; think about Jerusalem.
51 हामी लज्जित छौं, किनकि हामीले अपमान सुनेका छौं । निन्दाले हाम्रा मुहार ढाकेको छ, किनकि विदेशीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको पवित्रस्थानमा छिरेका छन् ।
“We are embarrassed because we've been mocked, and we held our heads in shame because foreigners went into the holy places of the Lord's Temple,”
52 त्यसकारण, हेर्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, यस्ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जति बेला म त्यसका खोपेर बनाइएका मूर्तिहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु, र त्यस देशका चारैतिर घाइते मानिसहरू पीडामा कराउनेछन् ।
So keep watching, declares the Lord, because the time is coming when I will punish her for worshiping idols, and the sound of wounded people moaning will be heard throughout the country.
53 किनकि बेबिलोन स्वर्गसम्मै उक्ले वा त्यसका अग्ला-अग्ला किल्लाहरूलाई मजबुत बनाए तापनि, मबाट त्यसकहाँ विनाशकहरू आउनेछन्— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Even if Babylon could climb up into the sky to strengthen her high fortresses, those I send to attack her will destroy her, declares the Lord.
54 बेबिलोनबाट निराशाको चित्कार, कल्दीहरूको देशबाट ठुलो विनाश आयो ।
A cry comes from Babylon; the noise of terrible destruction comes from the country of Babylonia.
55 किनकि परप्रभुले बेबिलोनलाई नाश पार्दै हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसको ठुलो सोरलाई नष्ट पार्दै हुनुहुन्छ । तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरू धेरै पानीको छालझैं गर्जन्छन् । तिनीहरूको हल्ला अत्यन्तै बलियो हुन्छ ।
For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon; he will put an end to her boastful talk. The waves of attacking army will roar like the crashing sea; the noise of their shouts will echo all around.
56 किनकि विनाशकहरू बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा आएका छन्, र त्यसका योद्धाहरू कब्जामा परेका छन् । तिनीहरूका धनुहरू भाँचिएका छन्, किनकि परमप्रभु बदलाको परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले निश्चय नै यो बदला लिनु नै हुनेछ ।
A destroyer is coming to attack Babylon. Her soldiers will be taken prisoner, and their bows will be smashed, for the Lord is a God who punishes fairly; he will definitely pay them back.
57 किनकि म त्यसका राजकुमारहरू, बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू, अधिकारीहरू र सिपाहीहरूलाई मत्त्याउनेछु, र तिनीहरू चिर निद्रामा सुत्नेछन् अनि कहिलै बिउँझने छैनन्—द यो महाराजाको घोषणा होः उहाँको नाउँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हो ।
I will make her leaders and wise men drunk, along with her commanders, officers, and soldiers. Then they will pass out, and won't ever wake up, declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
58 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः बेबिलोनका चौडा पर्खालहरू पूर्ण रूपमा भत्काइनेछन्, र त्यसका अग्ला-अग्ला मूल ढोकाहरू जलाइनेछन् । तब त्यसलाई सहयोग गर्न आउने मानिसहरूले व्यर्थैमा परिश्रम गर्नेछन् । जातिहरूले त्यसको लागि गर्न खोज्ने हरेक कुरो जलाइनेछ ।”
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Babylon's massive walls will be knocked down to the ground and her high gates burned. All that the people worked for will be for nothing; other nations who came to help will wear themselves out, only to see what they've done go up in flames.
59 यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहले राज्य सुरु गरेको चौथो वर्षमा तिनी बेबिलोनमा जाँदा यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले महसेयाहका नाति, नेरियाहका छोरा सरायाहलाई आज्ञा दिएका वचन यही हो । यति बेला सरायाह मुख्य अधिकारी थिए ।
This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he accompanied King Zedekiah of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of Zedekiah's reign. Seraiah was the king's personal assistant.
60 बेबिलोनमाथि आउन लागेका सबै विपत्तिको विषयमा यर्मियाले एउटा मुट्ठोमा लेखेका थिए । यी सबै वचन बेबिलोनको विषयमा लेखिएका थिए ।
Jeremiah had written on a scroll a description of all the disasters that would come to Babylon—all these words written here about Babylon.
61 यर्मियाले सरायाहलाई भने, “तपाईं बेबिलोन जानुहुँदा तपाईंले यी वचन हेर्नुहुनेछ, र तपाईंले यी वचन चर्को सोरमा पढ्नुहुनेछ ।
Jeremiah told Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, make sure you read out loud everything written here,
62 तब तपाईंले भन्नुहुनेछ, 'हे परमप्रभु, यस ठाउँलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु, र कुनै मानिस वा पशु यस ठाउँमा बस्नेछैन, र यो सदाको लागि उजाड हुनेछ भनी तपाईं आफैले घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ ।'
and announce, ‘Lord, you have promised to destroy this place so that none will be left—no people or animals. In fact it will be deserted forever.’
63 तब तपाईंले यस मुट्ठाको वचनलाई पढेर सिद्ध्याउनुहुन्छ, तब यसमा एउटा ढुङ्गा बाँध्नुहोस् र यसलाई यूफ्रेटिस नदीको बिचमा फाल्नुहोस् ।
After you finish reading this scroll out loud, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates.
64 यसो भन्नुहोस्, 'बेबिलोन यसरी नै डुब्नेछ । मैले यसको विरुद्धमा ल्याइरहेको विपत्तिको कारण यो उठनेछैन, र यसको पतन हुनेछ' ।” यर्मियाका वचनहरू यहाँ समाप्त हुन्छन् ।
Then say, ‘This is how Babylon will sink and won't ever rise again, because of the disaster I'm bringing down on her. Her people will grow tired.’” This is the end of Jeremiah's messages.
