यर्मिया 51
1 “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः ‘हेर्, बेबिलोनको विरुद्धमा र लेब-कमाइमा बस्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा समेत मैले विनाशको हुरीबतासलाई उत्तेजित पार्नै लागेको छु ।
The LORD says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
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 to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her. They will empty her land; for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
3 धनुर्धारीहरूलाई आफ्ना धनु तान्न नदेओ । तिनीहरूलाई कवच लगाउन नदेओ । त्यसका युवाहरूलाई नजोगाऊ । त्यसका सम्पूर्ण सेनालाई विनाशको लागि अलग गर ।
Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow, also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. Don’t spare her young men! Utterly destroy all her army!
4 किनभने घाइते मानिसहरू कल्दीहरूको देशमा ढल्नेछन् । मारिएकाहरू त्यसका सडकहरूमा ढल्नेछन् ।
They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
5 किनभने इस्राएल र यहूदाको देश इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको विरुद्धमा गरिएको अपराधले भरिएको भए तापनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई बिर्सनुभएको छैन ।
For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by the LORD of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
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 ।
“Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Everyone save his own life! Don’t be cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of the LORD’s vengeance. He will render to her a recompense.
7 परमप्रभुको हातमा बेबिलोन एउटा सुनको कचौरा थियो जसले सारा संसारलाई मत्त्याएको थियो । जातिहरूले त्यसको दाखमद्य पिए र बौलाहा भए ।
Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, who made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
8 बेबिलोन अकस्मात् ढल्नेछ, र नष्ट हुनेछ । त्यसको लागि विलाप गर । त्यसको पीडाको लागि औषधी देओ । सायद त्यो निको हुनेछ ।
Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may 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 would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgement reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 परमप्रभुले हामीलाई निर्दोष घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ । आओ, सियोनमा परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरका कामहरू बताऔं ।'
‘The LORD has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.’
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 ।
“Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of 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 ।
Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants 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 who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
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 of Armies has sworn by himself, saying, ‘Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they will lift up a shout against you.’
15 उहाँले आफ्नै शक्तिले पृथ्वी बनाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नै बुद्धिले संसारलाई त्यसको ठाउँमा राख्नुभयो । उहाँले आफ्नो समझशक्तिद्वारा उहाँले आकाशलाई तान्नुभयो ।
“He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
16 उहाँ गर्जनुहुँदा आकाशमा पानीको गड्याङगुडुङ हुन्छ, किनकि उहाँले पृथ्वीको छेउबाट तुवाँलो ल्याउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले वर्षाको लागि बिजुली चम्काउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो भण्डारहरूबाट बतास पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
When he utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
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 ।
“Every man has become stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image, for his molten images are falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 ती बेकम्मा छन् । ती गिल्ला गर्नेहरूका काम हुन् । तिनीहरूको दण्डको समयमा ती नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
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 portion of Jacob is not like these, for he formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies 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 battle axe and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.
21 तँद्वारा नै म घोडाहरू र तिनमा सवार हुनेहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु । तँद्वारा नै म रथहरू र सारथीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु ।
With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.
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 ।
With you I will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein. With you I will break in pieces man and woman. With you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth. With you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin.
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 ।
With you I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock. With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke. With you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
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 ।
“I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says 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 ।
“Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says the LORD, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
26 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले भवनको कुने-ढुङ्गो वा जग बसाल्न तँबाट कुनै कुनै ढुङ्गा लिनेछैनन् । किनकि तँ सदाको निम्ति सर्वानाश हुनेछस्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
They won’t take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says 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 ।
“Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet amongst the nations! Prepare the nations against her! Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz! Appoint a marshal against her! Cause the horses to come up as the swarming locusts!
28 त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्न जातिहरूलाई तयार पार । मादीका राजाहरू, त्यसका गभर्नरहरू, त्यसका सबै अधिकारी र त्यसले शासन गरेका सबै देशलाई तयार पार ।
Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
29 किनकि देश हल्लिनेछ, र वेदनामा हुनेछ, किनकि कुनै बासिन्दा नबस्ने गरी बेबिलोनको देशलाई उजाड पार्ने परमप्रभुका योजनाहरू बेबिलोनका विरुद्धमा जारी छन् ।
The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
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 ।
The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire. Her bars are broken.
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 ।
One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
32 नदीका जँघारहरू कब्जा गरिएका छन् । शत्रुले सिमसारहरूमा आगो लगाउँदैछ, र बेबिलोनका योद्धाहरू अलमलमा पारिएका छन् ।”
So the passages are seized. They have burnt the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”
33 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः बेबिलोनकी छोरी खलाजस्तै छे । यो त्यसलाई कुल्चने समय हो । केही क्षणमा नै त्यसको कटनीको समय आउनेछ ।
For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.”
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 the king of Babylon has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has, like a monster, swallowed me up. He has filled his mouth with my delicacies. He has cast me out.
35 सियोनमा बस्नेले भन्छ, 'म र मेरो विरुद्धमा गरिएको हिंसा बेबिलोनमाथि नै परोस् ।' यरूशलेमले भन्नेछ, 'मेरो रगत कल्दीका बासिन्दाहरूमाथि परोस्' ।”
May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!” the inhabitant of Zion will say; and, “May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!” will Jerusalem say.
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 ।
Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
37 बेबिलोन भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो, स्यालहरू ओडार, त्रास र गिल्लाको पात्र हुनेछ, जहाँ कोही बासिन्दा छैन ।
Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 बेबिलोनीहरू जवान सिंहहरूजस्तै गर्जन्छन् । तिनीहरू सिंहका बच्चाहरूजस्तै कराउँछन् ।
They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ 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—
When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the LORD.
40 म तिनीहरूलाई मारिनलाई लगिएका थुमाहरू, बोकाहरूसँगै भेडाहरूझैं तल पठाउनेछु ।
“I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41 कसरी बेबिलोनलाई कब्जा गरिएको छ! सारा पृथ्वीको प्रशंसा पक्राउमा परेको छ । कसरी बेबिलोन जातिहरूका बिचमा भग्नावशेषको ठाउँ भएको छ!
“How Sheshach is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation amongst the nations!
42 बेबिलोनको माथि समुद्र आएको छ । यसका उर्लंदा छालहरूले त्यो ढाकिएको छ ।
The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 त्यसका सहरहरू उजाड, सुक्खा भूमि र मरुभूमि भएका छन्, जहाँ कोही बस्दैन, र कुनै मानिस त्यताबाट जाँदैन ।
Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.
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 execute judgement on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.
45 ए मेरा मानिसहरू हो, त्यसको बिचबाट बाहिर जाओ । मेरो क्रोधको ज्वालाबाट तिमीहरू हरेले आफ्नो प्राण बचाओ ।
“My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce 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 let your heart faint. Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land. For news will come one year, and after that in another year news will come, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
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 ।
Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgement on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
48 त्यसपछि स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी अनि तिनमा भएका सबै कुराले बेबिलोनमाथि रमाहट गर्नेछन् । किनकि त्यसका विनाशकहरू उत्तरबाट आउनेछन्— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says the LORD.
49 जसरी बेबिलोनले इस्राएलका मारिएकाहरूलाई ढालेको छ, त्यसरी नै त्यस देशका मारिएकाहरू बेबिलोनमा ढल्नेछन् ।
“As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
50 तरवारबाट बाँचेकाहरू हो, जाओ । अझै नबस । टाढा-टाढाबाट मनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकार । यरूशलेमको सम्झना गरियोस् ।
You who have escaped the sword, go! Don’t stand still! Remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”
51 हामी लज्जित छौं, किनकि हामीले अपमान सुनेका छौं । निन्दाले हाम्रा मुहार ढाकेको छ, किनकि विदेशीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको पवित्रस्थानमा छिरेका छन् ।
“We are confounded because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.”
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 ।
“Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will execute judgement on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
53 किनकि बेबिलोन स्वर्गसम्मै उक्ले वा त्यसका अग्ला-अग्ला किल्लाहरूलाई मजबुत बनाए तापनि, मबाट त्यसकहाँ विनाशकहरू आउनेछन्— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says the LORD.
54 बेबिलोनबाट निराशाको चित्कार, कल्दीहरूको देशबाट ठुलो विनाश आयो ।
“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
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 lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.
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 ।
For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.
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 princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
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 ।”
The LORD of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burnt with fire. The peoples will labour for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
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 ।
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster.
60 बेबिलोनमाथि आउन लागेका सबै विपत्तिको विषयमा यर्मियाले एउटा मुट्ठोमा लेखेका थिए । यी सबै वचन बेबिलोनको विषयमा लेखिएका थिए ।
Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 यर्मियाले सरायाहलाई भने, “तपाईं बेबिलोन जानुहुँदा तपाईंले यी वचन हेर्नुहुनेछ, र तपाईंले यी वचन चर्को सोरमा पढ्नुहुनेछ ।
Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
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 say, ‘LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it will be desolate forever.’
63 तब तपाईंले यस मुट्ठाको वचनलाई पढेर सिद्ध्याउनुहुन्छ, तब यसमा एउटा ढुङ्गा बाँध्नुहोस् र यसलाई यूफ्रेटिस नदीको बिचमा फाल्नुहोस् ।
It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of 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 you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
