यर्मिया 8
1 “यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, त्यस बेला तिनीहरूले चिहानहरूबाट यहूदाका राजाहरू, यसका अधिकारीहरू, पुजारीहरू, अगमवक्ताहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूका हड्डीहरू निकाल्नेछन् ।
At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
2 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले सूर्य, चन्द्रमा र आकाशका सबै ताराको प्रकाशमा तिनलाई फैलाउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले आकाशका यी कुराहरूलाई पछ्याएका छन्, सेवा गरेका छन्, तिनको खोजी गरेका छन् र पुजा गरेका छन् । हड्डीहरू फेरि जम्मा गरिने र गाडिने छैनन् । ती जमिनको सतहमा मलझैं परिरहनेछन् ।
and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped; they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 हरेक बाँकी रहेको ठाउँ जहाँ मैले तनीहरूलाई धपाएको छु, त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति जीवनको साटो मृत्यु रोज्नेछन्, यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषण हो ।
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 त्यसैले तिनीहरूलाई भन्, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'के कोही लडेर उठ्दैन र? के कोही हरायो भने त्यो फर्केर आउन खोज्दैन र?
Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return?
5 यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू किन स्थायी विश्वासहीनतामा तर्केर गएका छन् त? तिनीहरू विश्वासघातमा टाँसिरहन्छन्, र पश्चात्ताप गर्न इन्कार गर्छन् ।
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 मैले ध्यान दिएँ, र सुनें, तर तिनीहरूले सही कुरा बोलेनन् । आफ्नो दुष्टताको लागि कोही पनि दुःखी भएन, 'मैले के गरेको छु?' भनेर सोध्ने कुनै व्यक्ति छैन । घोडा युद्धमा गएझैं तिनीहरू सबै आफूलाई इच्छा लागेको ठाउँमा जान्छन् ।
I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.
7 आकाशको सारस अनि ढुकुर, गौँथली र सारिका चरा पनि आफ्नो समय थाहा छ । तिनीहरू ठिक समयमा बसाइँ सर्छन्, तर मेरा मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुका आज्ञाहरू जान्दैनन् ।
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance of the LORD.
8 'परमप्रभुको व्यवस्था हामीसित भएको हुनाले हामी बुद्धिमान छौं' भनी तिमीहरू कसरी भन्न सक्छौ? वास्तवमा, हेर, शास्त्रीहरूको छलपूर्ण कलमले धलको सृजना गरेको छ ।
How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes.
9 बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू लज्जित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू हताश भएका छन् र पासोमा परेका छन् । हेर, तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन इन्कार गर्छन्, यसैले तिनीहरूको बुद्धिको के काम?
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; Lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 त्यसैले म तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरू अरूलाई दिनेछु, र तिनीहरूका खेतबारी अधिकार गर्नेहरूलाई म ति दिनेछु, किनकि सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै जना बेइमान आर्जनको लागि लोभी छन् । अगमवक्तादेखि पुजारीसम्म सबैले छलको अभ्यास गर्छन् ।
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11 शान्ति नै नहुँदा पनि 'शान्ति, शान्ति' भनेर तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूको चोटलाई अलिअलि मात्र निको पारेका छन् ।
And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
12 तिनीहरूले घृणित कामहरू गर्दा के तिनीहरू लज्जित भए? तिनीहरू लज्जित भएनन् । कसरी शर्म मान्ने भन्ने कुरा पनि तिनीहरूलाई थाहा भएन । त्यसैले पतन भएकाहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू पतन हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिइँदा तिनीहरू तल खसालिने छन्, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore shall they fall among them that fall, in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith the LORD.
13 म तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा हटाइदिने छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । दाखका बोटहरूमा दाख हुनेछैन, न त अञ्जीरका रुखहरूमा अञ्जीर हुनेछ । किनकि पात सुकेर जानेछ, र मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका कुरा हराएर जानेछ ।
I will utterly consume them, saith the LORD; there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is faded; and I gave them that which they transgress.
14 हामी किन यहाँ बसिरहेका छौं? सँगसँगै आओ । हामी किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरूमा जाऔं, र त्यहाँ हामी मरेर चुप बनौं । किनकि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई चुप पार्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले हामीलाई विष पिउन लगाउनुहुनेछ किनकि हामीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छौं ।
'Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be cut off there; for the LORD our God hath cut us off, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 हामी शान्तिको अपेक्षा गर्दैछौं, तर त्यहाँ कुनै असल कुरो हुनेछैन । हामी चङ्गाइको समयको आशा गर्दैछौं, तर त्यहाँ त्रास हुनेछ ।
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold terror!'
16 दानबाट त्यसका घोडाहरूको घ्वार-घ्वार आवाज सुनिन्छ । त्यसका शक्तिशाली घोडाहरूको हिनहिनाइको आवाजमा पुरै पृथ्वी हल्लिन्छ । किनकि तिनीहरू आउनेछन् र यो देश र यसको सम्पत्ति, सहर र यसमा बस्नेहरूलाई स्वाहा पार्नेछन् ।
The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those that dwell therein.
17 किनकि हेर, म तिमीहरूका बिचमा सर्पहरू, तिमीहरूका टुनामुनाले वशमा पार्न नसक्ने विषालु सर्पहरू पठाउँदैछु । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई डस्नेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
For, behold, I will send serpents, basilisks, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
18 मेरो शोकको कुनै अन्त छैन, र मेरो हृदय व्याकुल भएको छ ।
Though I would take comfort against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
19 हेर्नुहोस्, टाढाको देशमा भएका मेरो मानिसहरूको छोरीको क्रन्दन सुन्नुहोस् । के परमप्रभु सियोनमा हुनुहुन्न र? के त्यसका राजा अहिले त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्न र? त्यसो भए, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना खोपिएका मूर्तिहरू र बेकम्मा विदेशी देवताहरूले मलाई किन रिस उठाउँछन् त?
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far off: 'Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?' — 'Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, and with strange vanities?' —
20 कटनीको समय बितेको छ, ग्रीष्म ऋतु पनि सकिएको छ । तरै पनि हामी बचाइएका छैनौं ।
'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
21 मेरा मानिसहरूको छोरीको चोटको कारणले मलाई मलाई चोट लागेको छ । त्यसलाई आइपरेका डरलाग्दा कुराहरूमा म शोक गर्छु । म लज्जित भएको छु ।
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I seized with anguish; I am black, appalment hath taken hold on me.
22 के गिलादमा कुनै औषधी छैन? के त्यहाँ कुनै निको पार्न व्यक्ति छैन? मेरा मानिसहरूको छोरीको चोट किन निको भएको छैन त?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
