2 Kings 25
1 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
राजा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको नवौँ वर्षको दसौँ महिनाको दसौँ दिनमा बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर आफ्ना सबै सेना लिएर यरूशलेमको विरुद्धमा आए । तिनले यसको सामु छाउनी हाले र तिनीहरूले यसको चारैतिर घेरा हाले ।
2 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको एघारौँ वर्षसम्म सहरलाई घेरा हालियो ।
3 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
त्यस वर्षको चौथो महिनाको नवौँ दिनमा सहरमा यति घोर अनिकाल पर्यो कि देशका मानिसहरूका लागि खानेकुरा भएन ।
4 Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
तब सहरको पर्खाल तोडेर भित्र प्रवेश गरियो र रातमा राजाको बगैँचानेर भएका दुईवटा पर्खालको बिचको ढोकाको बाटोबाट सबै योद्धा भागे, जबकि कल्दीहरूले सहरको चारैतिर घेरा लगाई राखेकै थिए । राजा अराबाको दिशातिर गए ।
5 but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
तर कल्दीहरूका सेनाले सिदकियाह राजालाई खेदे, र यरीहो नजिकैको यर्दन नदीका मैदानहरूमा तिनलाई भेट्टाए । तिनका सबै सेना तिनीबाट तितर-बितर भए ।
6 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
तिनीहरूले राजालाई गिरफ्तार गरे र तिनलाई रिब्लामा बेबिलोनका राजाकहाँ ल्याए, जहाँ तिनीहरूले तिनलाई फैसला सुनाए ।
7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
तिनीहरूले सिदकियाहका छोराहरूलाई तिनकै आँखाका सामु मारे । तब तिनका आँखा तिनले निकाले, तिनलाई काँसाका साङ्लाहरूले बाँधे र तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा ल्याए ।
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
अब बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको शासनकालको उन्नाइसौँ वर्षको पाँचौँ महिनाको सातौँ दिनमा बेबिलोनका राजाका सेवक अनि अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापति नबूजरदान यरूशलेममा आए ।
9 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
परमप्रभुको मन्दिर, राजदरबार र यरूशलेमका सबै घरहरूमा तिनले आगो लगाए । सहरका हरेक महत्त्वपूर्ण भवनमा पनि तिनले आगो लगाए ।
10 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
अङ्गरक्षकहरूको सेनापतिको अधीनमा रहेका बेबिलोनका सबै सेनाले यरूशलेम वरिपरिको पर्खालहरू नष्ट पारिदिए ।
11 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
बेबिलोनका राजालाई वेवास्ता गरेका सहरमा बाँकी बचेका मानिसहरू अनि बाँकी रहेका अरू मानिसहरूका सम्बन्धमा अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापति नबूजरदानले, तिनीहरूलाई निर्वासनमा लगे ।
12 But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
तर अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापतिले दाखबारी र खेतबारीमा काम गर्न सबैभन्दा गरिबहरूलाई त्यहीँ छाडिदिए ।
13 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखिएका काँसाका स्तम्भहरू, आधारहरू र काँसाको विशाल खड्कुँलोलाई कल्दीहरूले टुक्राटुक्रा पारे र काँसालाई बेबिलोनमा लगे ।
14 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
भाँडाहरू, बेल्चाहरू, सलेदाका चिम्टाहरू, चम्चाहरू र मन्दिरमा पुजारीहरूले सेवा गर्दा प्रयोग गरिने काँसाका सबै सामान पनि कल्दीहरूले लगे ।
15 The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
राजाका सेनापतिले खरानी उठाउने भाँडाहरू अनि सुन र चाँदीले बनेका कचौराहरू लिएर गए ।
16 As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
सोलोमनले मन्दिरको लागि बनाएका दुईवटा स्तम्भ, विशाल खड्कुँलो र आधारहरूमा भएका काँसा जोख्नै सकिंदनथ्यो ।
17 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
पहिलो स्तम्भको उचाइ अठार हात थियो, र स्तम्भमाथि एउटा स्तम्भ-शिर थियो । स्तम्भ-शिर तिन हात अग्लो थियो, र यो काँसाको जाली र दारिमका बुट्टाले चारैतिर भरिएको थियो । अर्को स्तम्भ र यसका जालीसमेत सबै पहिलेको जस्तै थियो ।
18 The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापतिले मुख्य पुजारी सरायाह, दोस्रो दर्जाका पुजारी सपन्याह र तिन जना द्वारपाललाई लिएर गए ।
19 Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
सिपाहीहरूको जिम्मामा भएका अधिकारी, अनि सहरमा अझै बाँकी रहेका राजाका पाँच जना सल्लाहकारलाई तिनले सहरबाट कैद गरेर लगे । मानिसहरूलाई सेनामा भर्ती गर्ने मुख्य अधिकृत र देशमा भएका अन्य साठी जना विशिष्ट मानिसलाई पनि तिनले कैद गरेर लगे ।
20 Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
तब अङ्गरक्षकका सेनापति नबूजरदानले तिनीहरूलाई लगे र रिब्लामा बेबिलोनका राजाकहाँ ल्याए ।
21 There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
बेबिलोनका राजाले हमात देशको रिब्लामा तिनीहरूलाई मारे । यसरी यहूदा आफ्नो देशबाट निर्वासनमा लगियो ।
22 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले शापानका नाति, अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई यहूदामा बाँकी छोडिएका मानिसहरूमाथि निरिक्षक नियुक्त गरे ।
23 When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
बेबिलोनका राजाले गदल्याहलाई राज्यपाल बनाए भनेर जब सिपाहीहरूका सबै सेनापति र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूले सुने, तब तिनीहरू मिस्पामा गदल्याहकहाँ गए । यी मानिसहरू नतन्याहका छोरा इश्माएल, कारेहका छोरा योहानान, नतोपाती तन्हूमेतका छोरा सरायाह र माकातीका छोरा याजन्याह र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरू थिए ।
24 And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
गदल्याहले तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूसँग शपथ खाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कल्दीका अधिकारीहरूदेखि नडराओ । यही देशमा बसे र बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा गर, र तिमीहरूको भलो हुने छ ।”
25 In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
तर सातौँ महिनामा एलीशामाका नाति, नतन्याहका छोरा इश्माएल जो राजकीय वंशका थिए, तिनले दस जना मानिसलाई लिएर आए र गदल्याहलाई आक्रमण गरे । मिस्पामा आफूसँग भएका यहूदाका मानिसहरू र बेबिलोनीहरूसँगै गदल्याहको मृत्यु भयो ।
26 Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
तब सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै मानिससाथै सिपाहीहरूका सेनापतिहरू उठे, र तिनीहरू मिश्रमा गए किनकि तिनीहरू बेबिलोनीहरूदेखि डराएका थिए ।
27 On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीन निर्वासन भएको सैँतिसौँ वर्षको बाह्रौं महिनाको सत्ताइसौँ दिनमा बेबिलोनका राजा एबील-मरोदकले यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीनलाई झ्यालखानाबाट मुक्त गरिदिए । एबील-मरोदकले राज्य गर्न सरु गरेको वर्षमा यो भएको थियो ।
28 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
राजाले तिनीसँग दयापूर्वक कुरा गरे, र बेबिलोनमा तिनीसित भएका अरू राजाहरूलाई भन्दा तिनलाई इज्जतदार ठाउँमा बसाए ।
29 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
एबील-मरोदकले यहोयाकीनका कैदका लुगाहरू उतारे, र यहोयाकीनले आफ्नो बाँकी जीवनकालभरि राजाको टेबुलमा बसेर नियमित रूपमा खाए ।
30 And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
तिनको जीवनको बाँकी समयभरि हरेक दिन खानाको भत्ता तिनलाई नियमित रूपमा दिइयो ।
