< यर्मिया 6 >
1 हे बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू हो, यरूशलेमलाई छोडेर सुरक्षा खोज । तकोमा तुरही फुक । बेथहक्केरेममाथि सङ्केतबाट इशारा देओ, किनकि उत्तरबाट दुष्टता देखा पर्दैछ। एउटा ठुलो मिचाहा आउँदैछ ।
Run and hide, descendants of Benjamin, get out of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa; light a signal fire in Beth-haccherem, for disaster and terrible destruction is arriving from the north.
2 सियोनकी सुन्दरी र कोमल छोरी नष्ट पारिन्छे ।
Even though she is pretty and delightful, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion.
3 गोठालाहरू र तिनका बगालहरू तिनीहरूकहाँ जानेछन् । तिनीहरूले चारैतिर त्यसको विरुद्धमा पालहरू टाँग्नेछन् । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो हातले चराउनेछ ।
“Shepherds” and their “flocks” will come to attack her; they will set up their tents all around her, each one looking after his own.
4 “युद्धको लागि आफैलाई देवताहरूकहाँ अर्पण गर । उठ, हामी मध्यदिनमा आक्रमण गरौं । दिन ढल्कँदै जानु र बेलुकीको छायाँ पर्दै जानु धेरै नराम्रो कुरा हो ।
They get ready for battle against her, saying, “Come on, we'll attack at noon! Oh no, the day is almost over, the evening shadows are growing long.
5 तरै पनि हामी रातमा आक्रमण गरौं र त्यसको किल्लालाई नष्ट पारौं ।”
Come on, we'll attack at night instead and destroy her fortresses!”
6 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “त्यसका रुखहरू काटिदे, र यरूशलेमको विरुद्धमा घेरामचानहरू बनाओ । आक्रमण गर्नलाई यो नै ठिक सहर हो, किनकि यो अत्याचारले भरिएको छ ।
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Cut down the trees and make a siege ramp to use against Jerusalem. This city needs to be punished because it's full of people mistreating one another.
7 जसरी इनारले ताजा पानी दिन्छ, त्यसरी नै यो सहरले निरन्तर दुष्टता उत्पादन गर्छ । त्यसको भित्र हिंसा र उपद्रव सुनिन्छ । रोग र घाउहरू मेरो अनुहारको सामु निरन्तर छन् ।
Like a spring gushing out water, so she pours out her evil. The sounds of violence and abuse echo inside her. I see people sick and wounded everywhere.
8 ए यरूशलेम, अनुशासनलाई स्वीकार गर्, नत्रता म तँबाट तर्कनेछु, र तँलाई कोही नबस्ने उजाड देश बनाउनेछु ।”
I'm warning you, people of Jerusalem, I'm going to give up on you in disgust. I will destroy you and leave your country uninhabited.
9 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “निश्चय नै तिनीहरूले दाखबारीमा छाडिएका फललाई झैं इस्राएलमा छाडिएकाहरूलाई टिप्नेछन् । दाखका बोटहरूबाट दाख टिप्न फेरि तेरो हात पसार् ।
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Even those left in Israel will be taken, just as grapes left on a vine are taken by the one harvesting the grapes who checks the branches again.
10 म कसलाई घोषणा गरूँ र चेताउनी दिऊँ ताकि तिनीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनून्? हेर्, तिनीहरूका कान खतना गरिएका छैनन् । तिनीहरू ध्यान दिन सक्दैनन् । हेर्, तिनीहरूलाई सुधार्न परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीहरूकहाँ आएको छ, तर तिनीहरूले यसको इच्छा गर्दैनन् ।
Who can I give this warning to? Who's going to listen to me? Can't you see that they refuse to listen? They can't hear what I'm saying. See how offensive the Lord's message is to them. They don't like it at all.
11 तर म परमप्रभुको क्रोधले भरिएको छु । यसलाई थामेर म थाकिसकेको छु । उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “सडकका बालबालिका र युवाहरूको समूहमा यसलाई खन्याइदे । किनकि हरेक पुरुषलाई त्यसकी पत्नीसँगै, अनि कान नसुन्ने हरेक बुढा मानिसलाई लगिनेछ ।
But as for me, I'm full of the Lord's anger; I have a hard time keeping it in. The Lord replies, Pour it out on children in the street, and on groups of young people, because both husband and wife are going to be captured—it's everyone, and it doesn't matter how old they are.
12 तिनीहरूका घरहरू, खेतहरू र पत्नीहरू एकसाथ अरूलाई दिइनेछ । किनकि म आफ्नै हातले यस देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Their houses will be given to others, their fields and wives too, because I'm going to punish everyone living in this country, declares the Lord.
13 सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै जना बेइमान आर्जनको लागि लोभी भएका छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । अगमवक्तादेखि पुजारीसम्म सबैले छलको अभ्यास गर्छन् ।
Everyone cheats because they're greedy, poor and rich alike. Even prophets and priests—they are all dishonest liars!
14 शान्ति नै नहुँदा पनि, 'शान्ति, शान्ति' भन्दै, तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूको चोटलाई अलिअलि मात्र निको पारेका छन् ।
They give my wounded people first aid, but they don't really care about them. They tell them, “Don't worry! We have peace!” even as war approaches.
15 तिनीहरूले घृणित कामहरू गर्दा के तिनीहरू लज्जित भए? तिनीहरू लज्जित भएनन् । तिनीहरूलाई शर्म मान्न पनि आउँदैन । त्यसैले पतन भएकाहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू पतन हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिंदा तिनीहरू तल खसालिनेछन्, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
Were they ashamed of the disgusting things they did? No, they weren't ashamed at all, they couldn't even blush. So they will fall just like the others, when I punish them; they will drop down dead, says the Lord.
16 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “दोबाटोमा खडा हो र हेर् । प्राचीन मार्गहरू बारेमा सोधखोज गर् । 'यो असल मार्ग कहाँ छ?' तब त्यसैमा हिंड, र आफ्नो लागि विश्रामस्थल पत्ता लगा । तर मानिसहरू भन्छन्, 'हामी जाने छैनौं ।'
This is what the Lord says: Go and stand where the roads divide, and look. Find out which are the old paths. Ask, “What's the right way?” Then follow it and you'll be content. But you refused, saying, “We won't go that way!”
17 तुरहीको आवाज सुन्न मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति पहरेदारहरू नियुक्त गरें । तर तिनीहरूले भने, 'हामी सुन्ने छैनौं ।'
I put watchmen in charge of you and told you, make sure you listen for the trumpet call warning you of danger. But you answered, “We won't listen!”
18 त्यसकारण हे जाति-जातिहरू हो, सुन । हे गवाही दिनेहरू हो, तिनीहरूलाई के हुने छ सो हेर ।
So now you other nations can listen and find out what's going to happen to them.
19 हे पृथ्वी, सुन् । मैले यी मानिसहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनै लागेको छु, जुन तिनीहरूका विचारको नतिजा हो । तिनीहरूले मेरो वचन वा व्यवस्थालाई ध्यानै दिएनन्, तर तिनीहरूले यसलाई इन्कार गरे ।
Earth, you listen too! I am bringing disaster down on this people, the end result of what they themselves planned. It's because they paid no attention to what I said, and rejected my instructions.
20 मेरो लागि शेबाबाट माथि गएको यस धुपको अर्थ के हो? वा टाढाको देशबाट आएका यी सुगन्धको? तिमीहरूका होमबलिहरू मेरो लागि स्वीकारयोग्य छैनन्, न त तिमीहरूका बलिदानहरू छन् ।
What's the point of offering me frankincense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a far-away land? I don't accept your burnt offerings; I'm not pleased with your sacrifices.
21 त्यसैले परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, मैले यी मानिसको विरुद्धमा ठेस लाग्ने अवरोध राख्न लागेको छु । तिनीहरूका बाबुहरू र छोराहरू एकैसाथ त्यसमाथि ठक्कर खानेछन् । बासिन्दाहरू र तिनीहरू छिमेकीहरू पनि नष्ट हुनेछन् ।”
So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to put blocks in front of these people to trip them up. Fathers and sons will fall down dead, friends and neighbors too.
22 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘हेर्, उत्तर देशबाट एउटा जाति आउँदैछ, पृथ्वीको पल्लो भागबाट एउटा महान् जाति उत्तेजित हुँदैछ ।
This is what the Lord says: Look! An army is invading from the north; a powerful nation is getting ready to attack all the way from the ends of the earth.
23 तिनीहरूले धनु र भालाहरू उठाउने छन् । तिनीहरू क्रुर छन् र दया नै छैन । तिनीहरूको आवाज समुद्रको गर्जनजस्तो छ, र तिनीहरू घोडाहरूमा सवार हुँदैछन् । हे सियोनकी छोरी, तेरो विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न तिनीहरू पङ्क्तिबद्ध भएर आउने मानिसहरूजस्तै अगाडि बढ्छन् ।”
They pick up their bows and spears. They are cruel and show no mercy. Their war-cries are like the sea roaring, and they ride horses lined up ready to attack you, Daughter of Zion.
24 हामीले तिनीहरूका बारेमा खबरहरू सुनेका छौं, र निराश हुँदा हाम्रा हातहरू नै लत्रेका छन् । जन्म दिंदा स्त्रीलाई भएझैं सङ्कष्टले हामीलाई समात्छ ।
The people reply, “We've heard the news, and our hands are limp with shock! We're overcome with agony, suffering pain like a woman in labor.
25 बाहिर खेतबाट नजाओ, र सडकहरूमा नहिंड, किनकि शत्रुका तरवार र त्रास चारैतिर छन् ।
Don't go to the field! Don't walk down the road! The enemy is armed with swords! Terror is everywhere!”
26 हे मेरा मानिसकी छोरी, भाङ्ग्रा लगा र खरानीमा लडीबडी हो । एक मात्र छोरोको लागि विलाप गरेझैं शुँक-शुँक गरेर शोक गर, किनकि विनाशक हामीमाथि अकस्मात् आउनेछ ।
Oh my people, put on sackcloth and roll around in ashes. Mourn and cry bitterly like you would for an only son, because the destroyer will come down on you suddenly.
27 “हे यर्मिया, तिनीहरूका मार्ग निरीक्षण गर्न र जाँच गर्न मैले तँलाई धातु जाँच गर्नेजस्तै मेरा मानिसहरूको जाँच गर्ने मानिस बनाएको छु ।
Jeremiah, I have made you a tester of metals so you can test my people as if they were metal, so you can know what they're made of and how they act.
28 तिनीहरू अति नै हठी मानिसहरू हुन् जो अरूहरूको बदख्याइँ गर्दै यताउता जान्छन् । तिनीहरू सबै भ्रष्टतापूर्वक काम गर्ने काँसा र फलाम हुन् ।
They're all stubborn rebels going around talking slander. They are hard as bronze and iron; they are all corrupt.
29 आगोले भस्म गर्ने पदार्थलाई भस्म गर्न खलाँतीलाई जोडसित फुकिन्छ । आगोको रापमा फलाम पग्लन्छ । तिनीहरूका बिचमा शुद्देइँ जारी छ, तर यो अर्थहीन छ, किनकि दुष्ट्याइँलाई हटाइएको छैन ।
The bellows in the refiner's furnace blow powerfully, burning away the lead. But this refining is pointless, because the wicked are not purified.
30 तिनीहरू तिरस्कृत भएको चाँदी भनिनेछन् किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई इन्कार गर्नुभएको छ ।”
They are identified as impure silver to be rejected, because the Lord has rejected them.
