यर्मिया 7

1 परमप्रभुको यो वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,

The word that came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh saying: —

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 ।

Stand thou in the gate of the house of Yahweh, and thou shalt proclaim there this word, —and shalt say—Hear ye the word of Yahweh all Judah ye who are entering in at these gates, to bow down unto Yahweh:

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

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, —That I may cause you to dwell in this place.

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

Do not, on your part trust in false words, saying, —The temple of Yahweh The temple of Yahweh, The temple of Yahweh they are!

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

But, if ye shall thoroughly amend, your ways, and your doings, —Shall thoroughly execute justice 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,

The sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, shall not oppress, And innocent blood, shall not shed in this place, —And after other gods, shall not walk to your own 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, —From one age even unto another,

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

Lo! ye, on your part, are trusting in false words, —To no profit!

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?

Are ye to steal, commit murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, —and walk after other gods whom ye have not known;

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?

And will ye then come in and stand before me in this house whereon my Name hath been called, and say, —We have set ourselves free, —for the purpose of committing 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 ।’

A den of robbers, hath this house on which my Name hath been called become in your own eyes? I, also, —lo! I have seen it Declareth Yahweh.

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 I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first, —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 ।

Now, therefore—Because ye have done all these deeds Declareth Yahweh, —And though I spake unto you betimes speaking, Yet ye hearkened not, And though I cried unto you Yet 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 will I do to the house Whereon my Name hath been called Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, —Just as I did unto Shiloh;

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

And will cast you out from before me, —Just as I have cast out All 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 ।

Thou, therefore—Do not pray for this people Neither lift up for them cry or prayer Neither intercede with me, —For I am not going to hear thee.

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

Dost thou not see what, they, are doing In the cities of Judah, —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 ।

The children, gather wood, and The fathers, kindle the fire, and The women, knead dough, —To make sacrificial cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, Provoking 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?

Is it me, they are provoking? Enquireth Yahweh, —Is it not themselves, —unto the shame of their own faces?

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 ।”

Wherefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh—Lo! mine anger and mine indignation, are about to be poured out upon this place, On man and on beast, and On the tree of the field and On the fruit of the ground, —And it shall burn and shall not be quenched.

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

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Your ascending-offerings, add ye unto your peace-offerings and eat ye 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 bade not your fathers Neither commanded I them, In the day I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, —Concerning the matter of ascending-offering and peace-offering;

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, this thing, I commanded them—saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you—a God, And, ye, shall become unto me—a people, —Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end 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 ।

Yet they hearkened not Neither inclined their ear, But walked, In the counsels—In the stubbornness of their own wicked 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 ।

Ever since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, until this day, Have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, Daily, betimes, sending them;

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

Yet they hearkened not unto me, Neither inclined their ear, —But stiffened their neck, They did more wickedly 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 shalt thou speak unto them all these words, Though they do not hearken unto thee, —And thou shalt cry aloud unto them Though they do not answer thee; —

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 ।

But thou shalt say unto them, —This, is the nation that hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh its God, Neither accepted they correction, —Perished is fidelity, And is cut off out of 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 thou off thy crown of hair [O Jerusalem], and cast it away, And lift thou up on the bare heights, a dirge, —For Yahweh hath rejected and cast out the generation with which he was wroth.

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 sons of Judah, have done, that which was wicked in mine eyes, Declareth Yahweh, —They have set their abominations in the house whereon my Name hath been 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 high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn up their sons and their daughters in the fire, —Which I commanded not, Neither came it up on 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, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall not be called any more—The Topheth, nor The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter, —And they shall bury in Topheth, for want of place;

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 become food, For the bird of the heavens, and For the beast 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 ।”

So will I cause to cease, From the cities of Judah, and, From the streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and The voice of the bride, —For, a desolation, shall the land become.
