यर्मिया 7

1 परमप्रभुको यो वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,

Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judea.

2 “परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको मूल ढोकामा खडा हो र यो वचन घोषणा गर् । यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभुलाई आराधना चढाउन यी ढोकाहरूबाट प्रवेश गर्ने यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।

3 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः तिमीहरूका मार्ग र अभ्यास असल बनाओ, र म तिमीहरूलाई यस ठाउँमा बसिरहन दिनेछु ।

Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

4 छलपूर्ण वचनहरूमा आफू भर नपर र यसो नभन, 'परमप्रभुको मन्दिर! परमप्रभुको मन्दिर! परमप्रभुको मन्दिर!'

Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.

5 किनकि तिमीहरूले वास्तवमै तिमीहरूका मार्ग र अभ्यासहरू असल बनायौ भने, अनि तिमीहरूले मानिस र त्यसको छिमेकीको बिचमा न्यायलाई पूर्ण रूपमा कायम राख्यौ भने,

For if ye thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

6 तिमीहरूले देशमा बस्‍ने मानिस, अनाथ वा विधवालाई शोषण गरेनौ र यस ठाउँमा निर्दोषको रगत बगाएनौ र आफैलाई हानि पुर्‍याउन अरू देवताहरूको पछि लागेनौ भने,

and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:

7 म तिमीहरूलाई यस ठाउँमा बस्‍न दिनेछु, जुन देश मैले प्राचीन समयदेखि नै सदाको लागि तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएँ ।

then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.

8 हेर! तिमीहरूले छलपूर्ण वचनहरूमाथि भरोसा गर्दैछौ जसले तिमीहरूको मदत गर्दैनन् ।

But whereas ye have trusted in lying words, whereby ye shall not be profited;

9 के तिमीहरू चोर्छौ, मार्छौ, र व्यभिचार गर्छौ? के तिमीहरू छलपूर्वक शपथ खान्‍छौ अनि बाल देवतालाई धुप चढाउँछौ र तिमीहरूले नचिनेका अरू देवताहरूको पछि लाग्छौ?

and ye murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom ye know not,

10 त्यसपछि तिमीहरू आउँछौ अनि मेरो नाउँले बोलाइने यस मन्‍दिरमा मेरो सामु खडा हुन्‍छौ र यसो भन्छौ, “हामी बचाइएका छौं”, यसरी तिमीहरू यी सबै घृणित कामहरू गर्न सक्‍छौ?

so that it is evil with you; yet have ye come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and ye have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.

11 के मेरो नाउँले पुकारिने यो घर तिमीहरूको दृष्‍टिमा डाँकुहरूको ओडार हो? तर हेर, मैले यो देखेको छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।’

Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], saith the Lord.

12 ‘त्यसैले शीलोमा भएको मेरो ठाउँ जाओ, जहाँ सुरुमा मैले मेरो नाउँ रहने अनुमति दिएँ, र मेरो जाति इस्राएलको दुष्‍टताको कारणले मैले यसलाई के गरें त्‍यो हेर ।

For go ye to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.

13 त्यसैले अब यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, तिमीहरूका यी सबै अभ्यासको बारेमा तिमीहरूसित म बेलाबेलामा बोलेँ, तर तिमीहरूले सुनेनौ । मैले तिमीहरूलाई बोलाएँ, तर तिमीहरूले जवाफ दिएनौ ।

And now, because ye have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but ye hearkened not to me; and I called you, but ye answered not;

14 त्यसकारण मैले शीलोलाई जे गरें, मेरो नाउँद्वारा बोलाइने यस मन्दिरलाई पनि म त्यसै गर्नेछु, तिमीहरूले भरोसा गरेको यो घर हो, जुन मैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएँ ।

therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.

15 जसरी मैले तिमीहरूका सबै दाजुभाइ अर्थात् एफ्राइमका सबै सन्तानलाई निकालेँ, त्यसरी नै मेरो सामुबाट म तिमीहरूलाई निकाल्नेछु ।”

And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.

16 “ए यर्मिया, तैंलेचाहिं यी मानिसहरूको लागि प्रार्थना नगर्, र तिनीहरूको पक्षमा विलाप नगर्, न त बिन्ती चढा, किनकि म तेरो कुरा सुन्दिनँ ।

Therefore pray not thou for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yea, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not hearken [unto thee].

17 यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूमा तिनीहरूले के गरिरहेका छन् भनी के तँ देख्दैनस्?

Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

18 छोराछोरीले दाउरा बटुल्दैछन्, र बुबाहरू आगो बाल्दैछन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई चिढ्याउनलाई स्वर्गकी रानीको निम्ति फुरौला बनाउन स्‍त्रीहरू पिठो मुछ्दैछन्, र अरू देवताहरूका लागि अर्घबलि खन्याउँदैछन् ।

Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.

19 के तिनीहरूले साँच्‍चै मलाई चिढ्याउँदै छन् त? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, के लाज तिनीहरूमाथि नै आइपरोस् भनेर तिनीहरूले आफैलाई चिढ्याइरहेका होइनन् र?

Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?

20 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, यस ठाउँमा मानिस र पशु दुवैमाथि, शेतबारीका रूखहरू र जमिनका फलमाथि मेरो रिस र क्रोधको ज्वाला फुट्नेछ । यसले जलाउनेछ, र कहिल्यै निभाइनेछैन ।”

Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.

21 इस्राएलका सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, ‘तिमीहरूका बलिदानहरूमा होमबलिहरू मिसाओ, र तीबाट मासु पनि मिसाओ ।

Thus saith the Lord, Gather your whole-burnt-offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.

22 किनकि मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याउँदा तिमध्‍ये कुनै कुरा पनि मैले इच्‍छा गरिन । होमबलि र बलिदानहरूको विषयमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै आज्ञा दिइनँ ।

For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:

23 मैले तिनीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा मात्र दिएँ, “मेरो आवाजलाई सुन, र म तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनेछु, र तिमीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछौ । त्यसैले तिमीहरूको भलो होस् भनेर मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञामा हिंड ।”

but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear ye my voice, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people: and walk ye in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.

24 तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन्, वा ध्यान नै दिए । तिनीहरू आफ्‍ना दुष्‍ट हृदयका आफ्नै हठी योजनामुताबिक जिए । त्यसैले तिनीहरू पछिल्तिर गए, अगिल्तिर बढेनन् ।

But they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;

25 तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरू मिश्रदेशबाट आएको समयदेखि आजको दिनसम्म मैले आफ्‍ना हरेक सेवक र अगमवक्ताहरू तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएको छु । मैले तिनीहरूलाई पठाउन जोड गरिरहेँ ।

from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yea, I sent [them],

26 तर तिनीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेनन् । तिनीहरूले ध्यानै दिएनन् । बरु, तिनीहरू अटेरी भए । आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूभन्दा तिनीहरू अझै दुष्‍ट भए ।’

but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.

27 त्यसैले यी सबै वचन तिनीहरूलाई सुना, तर तिनीहरूले तेरो कुरा सुन्‍नेछैनन् । तिनीहरूलाई यी कुराको घोषणा गर्, तर तिनीहरूले तँलाई जवाफ दिनेछैनन् ।

Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;

28 तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, “यो परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको आवाज नसुन्‍ने र अनुशासन पालन नगर्ने जाति हो । सत्यता नष्‍ट गरिएको छ, र तिनीहरूका मुखबाट बहिष्कृत गरिएको छ ।

This is the nation which has not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.

29 आफ्नो कपाल काट र आफूलाई खौरी । खुला ठाउँहरूमा मृत्‍यु संस्‍कारको गीत गा । किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्नो क्रोधमा यस पुस्तालाई इन्कार गर्नुभएको छ र त्याग्‍नुभएको छ ।

Cut off thine hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on thy lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.

30 किनकि यहूदाका छोराहरूले मेरो दृष्‍टिमा दुष्‍ट काम गरेका छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । मेरो नाउँद्वारा पुकारिने यस मन्दिरलाई अपवित्र तुल्याउनलाई तिनीहरूले त्‍यसमा घृणित कुराहरू राखेका छन् ।

For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, saith the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.

31 अनि बेन-हिन्‍नोमको बेँसीमा तिनीहरूले तोपेतका अग्ला ठाउँहरू बनाए । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोमा जलाउन त्‍यो बनाए । यो कुरो मैले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिएको थिइनँ, न त मेरो मनमा नै पसेको थियो ।

And they have built the altar of Tapheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.

32 यसैले हेर, यस्‍ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, त्‍यसबेला त्‍यो फेरि तोपेत वा हिन्‍नोमको बेँसी भनिने छैनन् । त्‍यो हत्याको बेँसी भनिनेछ । तोपेतमा खाली ठाउँ रहुञ्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले त्यहा लाशहरू गाड्नेछन् ।

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Tapheth, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Tapheth, for want of room.

33 यो जातिका लाशहरू आकाशका चराहरू र जङ्गली जनावरहरूका लागि आहारा हुनेछन्, र तिनीहरूलाई तर्साएर लखेट्ने कोही पनि हुनेछैन ।

And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.

34 यहूदाका सहरहरू र यरूशलेमका सडकहरूबाट हर्ष र आनन्दको आवाज, दुलहा र दुलहीको सोरलाई म अन्त्य गरिदिनेछु, किनकि यो देश उजाड हुनेछ ।”

And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
