यर्मिया 1
1 बेन्यामीनको क्षेत्रमा पर्ने अनातोतका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एक जना हिल्कियाहका छोरा यर्मियाका वचन यिनै हुन् ।
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
2 यहूदाका राजा अमोनका छोरा योशियाहको शासनकालको तेह्रौं वर्षमा परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो ।
Yahweh’s word came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको समयदेखि यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको एघारौं वर्षको पाँचौं महिनासम्म, यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू कैदीका रूपमा नलगिएसम्म नै परमप्रभुको वचन आइरह्यो ।
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
Now Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
5 “मैले तँलाई गर्भमा रच्नुभन्दा पहिले, मैले तँलाई चुनें । तँ गर्भबाट बाहिर आउनुअगि मैले तँलाई अलग गरें । मैले तँलाई जाति-जातिहरूका निम्ति अगमवक्ता बनाएँ ।
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
6 मैले भनें, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, कसरी बोल्ने भनी मलाई थाहा छैन, किनकि म त धेरै सानो बालक छु ।”
Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
7 तर परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यसो नभन्, 'म सानो बालक छु' । मैले पठाउने हरेक ठाउँमा तँ जानैपर्छ, र मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गर्ने हरेक कुरा तैंले भनैपर्छ ।
But Yahweh said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
8 तिनीहरूदेखि नडरा, किनकि तेरो उद्धार गर्न म तँसित छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says Yahweh.
9 तब परमप्रभुले आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभयो, मेरो मुख छुनुभयो, र मलाई भन्नुभयो, “अब मैले तेरो मुखमा मेरो वचन हालिदिएको छु ।
Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
10 उखेल्न र भत्काउन, नाश गर्न र भताभुङ्ग पार्न, बनाउन र रोप्न, आज मैले तँलाई जातिहरू र राज्यहरूमाथि नियुक्त गर्दैछु ।”
Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
11 परमप्रभुको वचन मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “ए यर्मिया, तँ के देख्छस्?” मैले भनें, “हाडे-बदामको एउटा हाँगा म देख्छु ।”
Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
12 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैंले राम्ररी देखेको छस्, किनकि आफ्नो वचन पुरा गर्नलाई म त्यसलाई नियालेर हेर्दैछु ।”
Then Yahweh said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”
13 परमप्रभुको वचन दोस्रो पटक मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “तैंले के देख्छस्?” मैले भनें, “म एउटा तताइएको भाँडो देख्छु जसको माथिल्लो सतह छचल्किएर उत्तर दिशाबाट घोप्टिहरेको छ ।”
Yahweh’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”
14 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यस देशमा बस्ने सबैमाथि विपत्ति उत्तर दिशाबाट नै आउन सुरु हुनेछ ।
Then Yahweh said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
15 किनकि मैले उत्तरी राज्यहरूका सबै कुललाई बोलाउँदैछु भनी यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । तिनीहरू आउनेछन्, र यरूशलेमका मूल ढोकाहरूको प्रवेशद्वारमा आ-आफ्नो सिंहासन स्थापित गर्नेछन्, अनि तिनीहरू यसका चारैतिरका पर्खालहरू र यहूदाका सबै सहरको विरुद्धमा लाग्नेछन् ।
For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says Yahweh. “They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 अरू देवताहरूलाई धुप बालेर र तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हातले बनाएका वस्तुहरूलाई पुजा गरेर मलाई त्यागेका हुनाले तिनीहरूका सबै दुष्ट कामको विरुद्धमा म इन्साफ गर्नेछु ।
I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
17 आफूलाई तयार पार! खडा हो, र मैले तँलाई जे आज्ञा गर्छु, त्यो तिनीहरूलाई भन् । तिनीहरूको सामु नडरा, अन्यथा तिनीहरूका सामु म तँलाई नै डरमा पार्नेछु ।
“You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
18 हेर, सारा देश अर्थात् यहूदाका राजाहरू, यसका अधिकारीहरू, पुजारीहरू र देशका मानिसको विरुद्धमा आज मैले तँलाई एउटा किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहर, फलामे खम्बा र काँसाको पर्खाल बनाएको छु ।
For behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
19 तिनीहरू तेरो विरुद्धमा लड्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले तँलाई पराजित गर्नेछैनन्, किनकि तेरो उद्धार गर्न म तँसितै हुनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says Yahweh, “to rescue you.”
