Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, became king in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.
यहोयाकीमका छोरा यहोयाकीनको सट्टामा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहले राजा भएर राज्य गरे । बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले सिदकियाहलाई यहूदा देशका राजा बनाएका थिए ।
2 But he and his servants and the people of the land did not give ear to the words of the Lord which he said by Jeremiah the prophet.
तर सिदकियाह, तिनका सेवकहरू र देशका मानिसले यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको उहाँको वचनलाई सुनेनन् ।
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.
त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाह, शेलेम्याहका छोरा यहूकल र मासेयाहका छोरा सपन्याह पुजारीले यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए । तिनीहरूले यसो भने, “हाम्रा निम्ति परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गर ।”
4 (Now Jeremiah was going about among the people, for they had not put him in prison.
यस बेला यर्मिया मानिसहरूकहाँ आउने र जाने गर्थे, किनकि तिनलाई अझै पनि थुनामा राखिएको थिएन ।
5 And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.)
फारोको सेना मिश्रदेशबाट आयो, र यरूशलेमलाई घेराबन्दी गर्ने कल्दीहरूले तिनीहरूका बारेमा खबर सुने र यरूशलेम छाडे ।
6 Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मिया अगमवक्ताकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
7 The Lord, the God of Israel, has said: This is what you are to say to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from me: See, Pharaoh's army, which has come out to your help, will go back to Egypt, to their land.
“परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यहूदाका राजाले मबाट सल्लाह लिन तँकहाँ मानिसहरू पठाएको हुनाले तैंले उसलाई यसो भन्नेछस्, 'हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंलाई मदत गर्न आएको फारोको सेना आफ्नै देश, मिश्रदेशमा फर्केर जानै लागेको छ ।
8 And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.
कल्दीहरू फर्केर आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले यस सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नेछन्, यसलाई कब्जा गर्नेछन्, र जलाउनेछन् ।'
9 The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यसो भनेर आफैलाई धोका नदिनुहोस्, 'निश्चय पनि कल्दीहरूले हामीलाई छाडेर जाँदैछन्,' किनकि तिनीहरू छोड्नेछैनन् ।
10 For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire.
तपाईंको विरुद्धमा लड्ने सम्पूर्ण कल्दी सेनालाई तपाईंले जितेको, जसले गर्दा पालहरूमा घाइते मानिसहरू मात्र छाडिएको भए पनि तिनीहरू उठ्नेछन् र यस सहरलाई जलाउनेछन् ।”
11 And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army,
त्यसैले फारोको सेना आउँदै गर्दा कल्दीको सेनाले यरूशलेम छाड्यो,
12 Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, with the purpose of taking up his heritage there among the people.
तब यर्मिया यरूशलेमबाट प्रस्थान गरेर बेन्यामीनको इलाकामा गए । त्यहाँ तिनले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका बिचमा आफ्नो जग्गाको अंश लिन चाहन्थे ।
13 But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans.
जसै तिनी बेन्यामीनको मूल ढोकामा पुगे, त्यहाँ मुख्य पहरेदार थिए । तिनको नाउँ यिरियाह थियो, जो हनन्याहका नाति, शेलेम्याहका छोरा थिए । तिनले यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई समाते र भने, “तिमी कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर जाँदैछौ ।”
14 Then Jeremiah said, That is not true; I am not going to the Chaldaeans. But he would not give ear to him: so Irijah made him prisoner and took him to the rulers.
तर यर्मियाले भने, “त्यो साँचो होइन । म कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर जानेछैन ।” तर यिरियाहले तिनको कुरा सुनेनन् । तिनले यर्मियालाई समाते र अधिकारीहरूकहाँ लगे ।
15 And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and gave him blows and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
अधिकारीहरू यर्मियासित रिसाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई कुटे र थुनामा हाले जुन सचिव जोनाथनको घर थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूले यसलाई झ्यालखानामा परिणत गरेका थिए ।
16 So Jeremiah came into the hole of the prison, under the arches, and was there for a long time.
यसरी यर्मियालाई झ्यालखानाको कालकोठरीमा हालियो, जहाँ तिनी धेरै दिनसम्म रहे ।
17 Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon.
तब राजा सिदकियाहले कसैलाई पठाए जसले तिनलाई दरबारमा ल्याए । आफ्नो महलमा राजाले तिनलाई गुप्तमा सोधे, “के परमप्रभुबाट कुनै वचन आएको छ?” यर्मियाले जवाफ दिए, “वचन छः तपाईंलाई बेबिलोनका राजाको हातमा दिइनेछ ।”
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
तब यर्मियाले सिदकियाह राजालाई भने, “तपाईं, तपाईंका सेवकहरू र यी मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा मैले कसरी पाप गरें जसको कारण तपाईंले मलाई झ्यालखानामा हाल्नुभयो?
19 Where now are your prophets who said to you, The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land?
तपाईंका ती अगमवक्ताहरू कहाँ छन् जसले तपाईंको निम्ति अगमवाणी बोले र यसो भने, कि बेबिलोनका राजा तपाईं र यस देशको विरुद्धमा आउनेछैनन्?
20 And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.
तर हे मेरा मालिक राजा, अब सुन्नुहोस् । मेरा बिन्ती हजुरको सामु राख्न दिनुहोस् । मलाई सचिव जोनाथनको घरमा नफर्काउनुहोस्, नत्रता म त्यहीँ मर्नेछु ।”
21 Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.
त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाहले एउटा हुकुम दिए । तिनका अधिकारीहरूले यर्मियालाई गारदको चोकमा थुने । सहरमा सबै रोटी नसकुञ्जेलसम्म तिनलाई हरेक दिन एउटा रोटी दिइन्थ्यो । यसरी यर्मिया गारदको चोकमा रहे ।
