यर्मिया 9
1 मेरो शिरले पानी उत्पादन गर्न सके हुन्थ्यो र मेरा आँखा आँसुको फुहारा भए हुन्थ्यो! किनकि मेरा मानिसहरूका छोरीको बिचमा मारिएकाहरूका निम्ति म दिनरात रुने इच्छा गर्छु ।
If only my head could produce water, and my eyes be a fountain of tears! For I wish to weep day and night for those among the daughter of my people who have been killed.
2 उजाड-स्थानमा यात्रुहरू बस्नका निम्ति कसैले मलाई एउटा ठाउँ दिए हुन्थ्यो, म आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई त्याग्न त्यहाँ जान सक्थे । तिनीहरूलाई मैले छोड्न सके हुन्थ्यो, किनकि सबै व्यभिचारी, विश्वासघातीको जमात हुन्!
If only someone would give me a place for travelers in the wilderness to stay, where I could go to abandon my people. If only I could leave them, since all of them are adulterers, a band of traitors!
3 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “आफ्ना झूटका धनुहरूलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्ना जिब्राले दबाउँछन्, तर तिनीहरूको विश्वसनीयताको कारणले तिनीहरू पृथ्वीमा बलिया भएर बढ्ने होइनन् । तिनीहरू एउटा दुष्ट कामदेखि अर्को दुष्ट काम गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई चिन्दैनन् ।”
Yahweh declares, “They tread on their bows of lies with their tongues, but it is not because of any faithfulness of theirs that they grow strong on the earth. They go from one wicked act to another. They do not know me.”
4 तिमीकरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो छिमेकीदेखि होसियार बस, र आफ्नो कुनै भाइमाथि भरोसा नगर । किनकि हरेक भाइ निश्चय नै छली हो, र हरेक छिमेकी बदख्याइँ गर्दै हिंड्छ ।
Each of you, be on guard against your neighbor and do not trust in any brother. For every brother is certainly a deceiver, and every neighbor walks in slander.
5 हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीको ठट्टा गर्छ, र साँचो बोल्दैन । तिनीहरूका जिब्राले छली कुराहरू सिकाउँछन् । तिनीहरू अपराध गर्दा-गर्दा थाकेका छन् ।
Each man mocks his neighbor and does not speak the truth. Their tongues teach deceitful things. They are exhausted from committing iniquity.
6 तेरो बासस्थान छलको बिचमा छ । आफ्नो छलमा तिनीहरूले मलाई इन्कार गर्छन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
Your dwelling is in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
7 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले तिनीहरूलाई खार्न र जाँच्न लागेको छु, किनकि मेरा मानिसहरूले जे गरेका छन्, त्यसको लागि म अरू के गर्न सक्छु र?
Yahweh of hosts says this, “See, I am about to refine them and test them, for what else can I do, because of what my people have done?
8 तिनीहरूका जिब्रा तिखा काँडहरू हुन् । तिनले विश्वास गर्न नसकिने कुराहरू बोल्छन् । आफ्ना मुखले आफ्ना छिमेकीहरूसित शान्तिको घोषणा तिनीहरूले गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूका हृदयले चाहिं तिनीहरूलाई ढुकेर बस्छन् ।
Their tongues are sharpened arrows; they speak unfaithful things. With their mouths they proclaim peace with their neighbors, but with their hearts they lie in wait for them.
9 के यी कुराको काणले मैले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड नदिने? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, र के यस्तो जातिलाई म आफैले बदला नलिने त?
Should I not punish them because of these things—this is Yahweh's declaration— and should I not avenge myself on a nation that is like this?
10 म शोकको गीत गाउनेछु, र पहाडहरूका निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछु, र खर्कहरूका निम्ति मृत्यु संस्कारको गीत गाइनेछ । किनकि ती जलाइएका छन्, यसैले कोही पनि त्यसबाट जान सक्दैन । तिनीहरूले कुनै पनि गाईवस्तुको आवाज सुन्नेछैनन् । आकाशका चराहरू र पशुहरू सबै भागेर गएका छन् ।
I will sing a song of mourning and wailing for the mountains, and a funeral song will be sung for the meadows. For they are burned so no one can pass through them. They will not hear the sound of any cattle. The birds of the skies and the animals have all fled away.
11 त्यसैले म यरूशलेमलाई भत्केको थुप्रो, स्यालहरूको लुक्ने ठाउँ तुल्याउनेछु । म यहूदाका सहरहरूलाई मानिसहरू नबस्ने गरी उजाड तुल्याउनेछु ।”
So I will turn Jerusalem into piles of ruins, a hideout for jackals. I will make Judah's cities ruined places without inhabitants.”
12 यसलाई बुझ्न कुनचाहिं मानिस साँच्चै बुद्धिमानी छ? कसलाई परमप्रभुको मुखले बोल्नुभएको छ, र त्यसले यो घोषणा गर्नेछ? यो देश किन नष्ट पारिएको छ र उजाड-स्थानजस्तै विनाश गरिएको छ जसबाट कोही पनि जान सक्दैन?
What man is wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of Yahweh spoken, and he will declare it? Why has the land perished and been destroyed like the wilderness that no one can pass through?
13 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले तिनीहरूका सामु राखेको मेरो व्यवस्थालाई तिनीहरूले त्यागेका हुनाले, तिनीहरूले मेरो आवाज सुनेर त्यसद्वारा नहिंडेका हुनाले यस्तो भएको हो ।
Yahweh says, “It is because they have abandoned my law that I set before them, because they do not listen to my voice or walk by it.
14 तिनीहरू आ-आफ्ना हठी हृदयद्वारा हिंडेका हुनाले र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले सिकाएझैं गरी तिनीहरूले बाल देवताहरूको अनुसरण गरेको हुनाले यस्तो भएको हो ।
It is because they have walked by their stubborn hearts and have followed the Baals as their fathers taught them to do.
15 त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हर, मैले यो जातिलाई ऐरेलु खुवाउन र विषालु पानी पियाउन लागेको छु ।
Therefore Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to make this people eat wormwood and drink poisonous water.
16 त्यसपछि म तिनीहरूलाई जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पार्ने छु, जसलाई न तिनीहरूले न त तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले चिनेका छन् । मैल तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट नपारेसम्म म तिनीहरूको पछि तरवार पठाउनेछु ।”
Then I will scatter them among the nations that they have not known, neither they nor their ancestors. I will send out a sword after them until I have completely destroyed them.'”
17 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “यस विषयमा विचार गरः मृत्यु संस्कारका गीत गाउनेहरूलाई बोलाओ । तिनीहरू आऊन् । विलाप गर्न सिपालु स्त्रीहरूलाई बोलाउन पठाओ । तिनीहरू आऊन् ।
Yahweh of hosts says this, “Think about this: Summon funeral singers; let them come. Send out for women skilled at lamenting; let them come.
18 तिनीहरू हतार गरून्, र हाम्रा लागि शोकको गीत गाऊन्, ताकि हाम्रा आँखाबाट आँसु बगून् र हाम्रा परेलाबाट पानी बगून् ।
Let them hurry and sing a mournful song over us, so our eyes may run with tears and our eyelids flow with water.
19 किनकि सियोनमा विलापको सोर सुनिएको छ, 'हामी कसरी तहस-नहत भएका छौं । हामी ज्यादै लज्जित भएका छौं । तिनीहरूले हाम्रा घरहरू भत्काएको समयदेखि नै हामीले यो देश त्यागेका छौं ।'
For the sound of wailing is heard in Zion, 'How we are devastated. We are greatly ashamed, for we have abandoned the land since they tore down our houses.'
20 त्यसैले हे स्त्रीहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । उहाँको मुखबाट निस्कने सन्देशमा ध्यान देओ । तब आ-आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई शोकको गीत र हरेक छिमेकी स्त्रीलाई मृत्यु संस्कारको गीत सिकाओ ।
So you women, hear Yahweh's word; pay attention to the messages that come from his mouth. Then teach your daughters a mourning song, and each neighbor woman a funeral song.
21 किनकि मृत्यु हाम्रा झ्यालबाट आएको छ । यो हाम्रा राजमहलहरूमा जान्छ । यसले बाहिरका बालबालिका र सहरका चोकहरूका युवाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्छ ।
For death has come through our windows; it goes into our palaces. It destroys children from outside, and young men in the city squares.
22 यसो भन, “यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मानिसहरूका लाशहरू खेतबारीका मलझैं र बाली काट्नेहरूले छाडेका सिलाबालाझैं छोडिनेछन्, र ति जम्मा गर्ने कोही हुनेछैन ।”
Declare this, 'This is Yahweh's declaration—the corpses of men will fall like dung in the fields, and like grain stalks after the reapers, and there will be no one to gather them.'”
23 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “बुद्धिमान् मानिसले आफ्नो बुद्धिमा वा योद्धाले आफ्नो शक्तिमा घमण्ड गर्न नदेओ । धनी मानिसले आफ्ना धनमा घमण्ड गर्न नदेओ ।
Yahweh says this, “Do not let the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the warrior in his might. Do not let the wealthy man take pride in his riches.
24 किनकि कुनै मानिसले कुनै कुरामा घमण्ड गर्छ भने, त्यसले यस कुरामा गरोस् कि उसित अन्तर्दृष्टि छ र मलाई चिन्छ । किनकि म परमप्रभु हुँ जसले पृथ्वीमा करारको बफादारी, न्याय र धार्मिकतामा काम गर्छु । किनकि यिनै कुरामा म प्रसन्न हुन्छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
For if a man takes pride in anything, let it be in this, that he has insight and knows me. For I am Yahweh, who acts with covenant loyalty, justice and righteousness on earth. For it is in these that I take pleasure —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
25 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर, दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, जति बेला म शरीरमा मात्र खतना भएकाहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
“See, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will punish all the circumcised who are such only in their body.
26 म मिश्र, यहूदा, एदोम, अम्मोन, मोआब र शिरमा आफ्नो कपाल छोटो गरी काट्ने सबै मानिसलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । किनकि यी सबै जाति बेखतनाका हुन्, र इस्राएलका सबै घरानासित बेखतनको हृदय छ ।”
I will punish Egypt and Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all the people who cut the hair on their heads very short. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel has an uncircumcised heart.”
