Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came from Jeremias to the Lord, saying:
परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there thou shalt hear my words.
“उठ् र कुमालेको घरमा जा, किनकि त्यहाँ म तँलाई मेरो वचन सुनाउनेछु ।”
3 And I went down into the potter’s house, and behold he was doing a work on the wheel.
त्यसैले म कुमालेको घरमा गएँ र हेरें । कुमाले आफ्नो चक्कामा काम गरिरहेको थियो ।
4 And the vessel was broken which he was making with clay with his hands: and turning he made another vessel, as it seemed good in his eyes to make it.
तर त्यसले बनाइरहेको माटोको भाँडो त्यसको आफ्नै हातमा बिग्रियो । त्यसैले उसले आफ्नो मन बद्ल्यो र आफ्नो दृष्टिमा असल लागेअनुसार अर्को भाँडो बनायो ।
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
तब परमप्रभुको यो वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
6 Cannot I do with you as this potter, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
“ए इस्राएलका घराना हो, के म तिमीहरूलाई यही कुमालेले जस्तै गर्न सक्दिनँ र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । हेर, ए इस्राएलका घराना हो, कुमालेको हातमा माटो भएझैं तिमीहरू मेरो हातमा तेस्तै छौ ।
7 I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.
एक समय एक जाति वा राज्यलाई म धपाउनेछु, त्यसलाई तोड्नेछु वा नष्ट गर्नेछु भनी म घोषणा गर्न सक्छु ।
8 If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them.
तर मैले त्यस्तो घोषणा गरेको त्यो जाति दुष्ट्याइँबाट फर्कन्छ भने मैले त्यसमाथि ल्याउने योजना गरेको विपत्ति म ल्याउनेछैनँ ।
9 And I will suddenly speak of a nation and of a kingdom, to build up and plant it.
अर्को समयमा मैले कुनै जाति वा राज्यलाई बनाउने वा रोप्नेछु भनी म घोषणा गर्न सक्छु ।
10 If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice: I will repent of the good that I have spoken to do unto it.
तर मेरो कुरा नसुनेर त्यसले मेरो दृष्टिमा खराबी गर्छ भने, मैले त्यसलाई गर्नेछु भनेको घोषणाको भलाइ गर्न म रोक्नेछु ।
11 Now therefore tell the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good.
त्यसैले अब, यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूसलेमका बासिन्दाहरूसित बोल् र भन्, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, मैले तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा विपत्तिको रचना गर्नै लागेको छु । मैले तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा योजना बनाउने लागेको छु । तिमीहरूका चाल र तिमीहरूका अभ्यासहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भलो ल्याउने गरी हरेक व्यक्तिले आफ्नो दुष्ट चालबाट पश्चात्ताप गरोस् ।'
12 And they said: We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart.
तर तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'यो व्यर्थ छ । हामी आफ्नै योजनाअनुसार काम गर्नेछौं । हामी हरेकले आफ्नै दुष्ट, हठी हृदयले इच्छा गरेअनुसार गर्नेछौं ।'
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Ask among the nations: Who hath heard such horrible things, as the virgin of Israel hath done to excess?
त्यसकारण परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “जातिहरूलाई सोध्, यो जस्तो कुरो कसले कहिलै सुनेको छ? इस्राएली कन्याले अति घृणित काम गरेकी छे ।
14 Shall now the snow of Libanus fail from the rock of the field? or can the cold waters that gush out and run down, be taken away?
के लेबनानको हिउँले कहिल्यै यसका चट्टानका पहाडहरूलाई छोड्छ र? के टाढाबाट आउने पहाडका नदीहरू, ती चिसा नदीहरू कहिल्यै सुक्छन् र?
15 Because my people have forgotten me, sacrificing in vain, and stumbling in their ways, in ancient paths, to walk by them in a way not trodden:
तापनि मेरा मानिसहरूले मलाई भुलेका छन् । तिनीहरूले बेकम्मा मूर्तिहरूलाई भेटी चढाएका छन्, र आफ्ना मार्गहरूमा ठक्कर खाएका छन् । कच्ची बाटोमा हिंड्न भनेर तिनीहरूले प्राचीन बाटोलाई छाडेका छन् ।
16 That their land might be given up to desolation, and to a perpetual hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and wag his head.
तिनीहरूको देश त्रास बन्नेछ । सदासर्वदा गिल्लाको वस्तु बन्नेछ । त्यसबाट भएर जाने हरेक डराउनेछ, र टाउको हल्लाउनेछ ।
17 As a burning will I scatter them before the enemy: I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their destruction.
तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूकै सामु म तिनीहरूलाई पुर्वीय बतासझैं तितर-बितर पार्नेछु । तिनीहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा म तिनीहरूलाई मेरो पिठिउँ फर्काउनेछु, मेरो मुहार होइन ।”
18 And they said: Come, and let us invent devices against Jeremias: for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet: come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us give no heed to all his words.
त्यसैले मानिसहरूले भने, “आओ, हामी यर्मियाको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्रहरू रचौं, किनकि पुजारीहरूबाट व्यवस्था वा बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूबाट सरसल्लाह वा अगमवक्ताहरूबाट वचन कहिल्यै नष्ट हुने छैनन् । आओ, हाम्रा वचनहरूले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गरौं, अनि अब फेरि त्यसले घोषणा गरेका कुराहरूमा हामी ध्यान नदिऊँ ।”
19 Give heed to me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my adversaries.
हे परमप्रभु, मेरो कुरा ध्यानसित सुन्नुहोस्, र मेरा शत्रुहरूका आवाज सुन्नुहोस् ।
20 Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul? Remember that I have stood in thy sight, so speak good for them, and turn away thy indignation from them.
म तिनीहरूका लागि असल भएको हुनाले के साँच्चै तिनीहरूबाट आउने विपत्ति मेरो इनाम हुनेछ? किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरो लागि एउटा खाडल खनेका छन् । तिनीहरूबाट तपाईंको क्रोध हटाउन तिनीहरूको कल्याणको पक्षमा म कसरी तपाईंको सामु खडा भएको थिएँ भनी सम्झनुहोस् ।
21 Therefore deliver up their children to famine, and bring them into the hands of the sword: let their wives be bereaved of children and widows: and let their husbands be slain by death: let their young men be stabbed with the sword in battle.
त्यसकारण तिनीहरूका सन्तानलाई अनिकालमा पर्न दिनुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई तरवार खेलाउनेहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुहोस् । यसरी तिनीहरूका स्त्रीहरू शोकमा परून् र विधना होऊन्, अनि तिनीहरूका पुरुषहरू मारिऊन्, र तिनीहरूका युवाहरू युद्धमा तरवारले मारिऊन् ।
22 Let a cry be heard out of their houses: for thou shalt bring the robber upon them suddenly: because they have digged a pit to take me, and have hid snares for my feet.
तपाईंले तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा एक्कासि आक्रमणकारीहरू ल्याउनुहुँदा तिनीहरूका घरहरूबाट रुवाबासीको सोर सुनियोस् । किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई पक्रन एउटा खाडल खनेका छन्, र मेरो खुट्टाका लागि लुकाएर पासो थापेका छन् ।
23 But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death: forgive not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight: let them be overthrown before thy eyes, in the time of thy wrath do thou destroy them.
तर हे परमप्रभु, मलाई मार्न तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा बनाएका तिनीहरूका सबै योजना तपाईंलाई थाहा छ । तिनीहरूका अधर्म र पाप क्षमा नगर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका पाप तपाईंबाट नहटाउनुहोस् । बरु, तिनीहरू तपाईंकै सामु पराजित होऊन् । तपाईंको क्रोधको समयमा तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा उत्रनुहोस् ।
