< 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 ।
Assemble, O ye children of Benjamin, to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and in Tekoa, blow the cornet, and on Beth-hakkerem set up a fire signal; for evil is seen [coming] out of the north, and great havoc.
2 सियोनकी सुन्दरी र कोमल छोरी नष्ट पारिन्छे ।
The comely and the delicate, the daughter of Zion do I destroy.
3 गोठालाहरू र तिनका बगालहरू तिनीहरूकहाँ जानेछन् । तिनीहरूले चारैतिर त्यसको विरुद्धमा पालहरू टाँग्नेछन् । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो हातले चराउनेछ ।
Unto her shall come shepherds with their flocks; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed off every one his own place.
4 “युद्धको लागि आफैलाई देवताहरूकहाँ अर्पण गर । उठ, हामी मध्यदिनमा आक्रमण गरौं । दिन ढल्कँदै जानु र बेलुकीको छायाँ पर्दै जानु धेरै नराम्रो कुरा हो ।
Prepare ye war against her! “Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day waneth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 तरै पनि हामी रातमा आक्रमण गरौं र त्यसको किल्लालाई नष्ट पारौं ।”
Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.”
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 ।
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Cut ye down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city whose time of punishment is come; she is full of oppression in her midst.
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 ।
As a well sendeth forth its waters, so doth she cause her wickedness to spring forth: violence and robbery are heard in her; in my presence there are continually disease and wounds.
8 ए यरूशलेम, अनुशासनलाई स्वीकार गर्, नत्रता म तँबाट तर्कनेछु, र तँलाई कोही नबस्ने उजाड देश बनाउनेछु ।”
Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, that my soul tear itself not away from thee; that I render thee not desolate, a land which is not inhabited.
9 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “निश्चय नै तिनीहरूले दाखबारीमा छाडिएका फललाई झैं इस्राएलमा छाडिएकाहरूलाई टिप्नेछन् । दाखका बोटहरूबाट दाख टिप्न फेरि तेरो हात पसार् ।
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean like a vine the remnant of Israel: carry back thy hand as a grape-gatherer frequently to the baskets.
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 ।
To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot be attentive: behold, the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
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 ।
And I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with sustaining it: [I must] pour it out over the child in the street, and over the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be seized, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 तिनीहरूका घरहरू, खेतहरू र पत्नीहरू एकसाथ अरूलाई दिइनेछ । किनकि म आफ्नै हातले यस देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
And their houses shall be transferred unto others, fields and wives together; for I will stretch out my hand over the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
13 सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै जना बेइमान आर्जनको लागि लोभी भएका छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । अगमवक्तादेखि पुजारीसम्म सबैले छलको अभ्यास गर्छन् ।
For from their least even unto their greatest, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one practiseth falsehood.
14 शान्ति नै नहुँदा पनि, 'शान्ति, शान्ति' भन्दै, तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूको चोटलाई अलिअलि मात्र निको पारेका छन् ।
And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people very lightly, saying, Peace, peace: when there is no peace.
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 ।
They should have been ashamed, because they had committed an abomination; but they neither felt the least shame, nor did they know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among those that fall; at the time that I punish their sin shall they stumble, saith 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 ।'
Thus hath said the Lord, Place yourselves on the ways, and see, and ask after the ancient paths, where is the way which is good, that ye may walk thereon, and find rest for your soul. But they said, We will not walk [thereon].
17 तुरहीको आवाज सुन्न मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति पहरेदारहरू नियुक्त गरें । तर तिनीहरूले भने, 'हामी सुन्ने छैनौं ।'
Then did I set watchmen over you, [saying, ] Listen to the sound of the cornet. But they said, We will not listen.
18 त्यसकारण हे जाति-जातिहरू हो, सुन । हे गवाही दिनेहरू हो, तिनीहरूलाई के हुने छ सो हेर ।
Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O assembly, what [guilt] is among 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 ।
Hear, O earth! behold, I will bring evil upon this people, the fruit of their thoughts; because unto my words have they not been attentive, and as regardeth my law, —that have they despised.
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 ।
To what purpose serveth me the frankincense which cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far-off country? your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not agreeable unto me.
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 ।”
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will place before this people stumbling-blocks, and thereon shall stumble the fathers and the sons together, the neighbor and his friend, and they shall perish.
22 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘हेर्, उत्तर देशबाट एउटा जाति आउँदैछ, पृथ्वीको पल्लो भागबाट एउटा महान् जाति उत्तेजित हुँदैछ ।
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, a people is coming from the north country, and a great nation shall wake up from the farthest 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 ।”
Bow and spear shall they firmly grasp; cruel are they, and will have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and upon horses do they ride; set in array as one man for the war, against thee, O 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 ।
We have heard the fame of him—our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, pain, as of a woman in giving birth.
25 बाहिर खेतबाट नजाओ, र सडकहरूमा नहिंड, किनकि शत्रुका तरवार र त्रास चारैतिर छन् ।
Go not forth into the field, on the road must ye not walk; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, terror on every side.
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 ।
O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth, and roll thyself in the ashes: a mourning as for an only son prepare unto thee, a most bitter lamentation; for suddenly will the destroyer come over us.
27 “हे यर्मिया, तिनीहरूका मार्ग निरीक्षण गर्न र जाँच गर्न मैले तँलाई धातु जाँच गर्नेजस्तै मेरा मानिसहरूको जाँच गर्ने मानिस बनाएको छु ।
I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and probe their way.
28 तिनीहरू अति नै हठी मानिसहरू हुन् जो अरूहरूको बदख्याइँ गर्दै यताउता जान्छन् । तिनीहरू सबै भ्रष्टतापूर्वक काम गर्ने काँसा र फलाम हुन् ।
They all are grievous revolters, going about as talebearers, copper and iron: they all are 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 are burnt, by the fire the lead is consumed: in vain the melter refineth; for the wicked are not separated away.
30 तिनीहरू तिरस्कृत भएको चाँदी भनिनेछन् किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई इन्कार गर्नुभएको छ ।”
Refuse silver men call them; because the Lord hath rejected them.
