< Jeremiah 36 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, that this word came to Jeremias by the Lord, saying:
यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको चौथो वर्षमा परमप्रभुको यो वचन यर्मियाकहाँ आयो, अनि उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो,
2 Take thee a roll of a book, and thou shalt write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel and Juda, and against all the nations from the day that I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias even to this day.
“आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा मुट्ठा लिएर आइज र इस्राएल, यहूदा र हरेक जातिको विषयमा मैले तँलाई भनेका सबै वचन त्यसमा लेख् । योशियाहको समयदेखि आजको दिनसम्म मैले तँलाई बताएको सबै कुरा लेख् ।
3 If so be, when the house of Juda shall hear all the evils that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his wicked way: and I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin.
सायद मैले यहूदाका मानिसहरूमाथि ल्याउन चाहेका सबै विपत्तिबारे तिनीहरूले सुन्‍नेछन् । सायद हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति आफ्नो दुष्‍ट मार्गबाट फर्कनेछ, यसरी मैले तिनीहरूको अधर्म र तिनीहरूको पाप क्षमा दिन सकूँ ।”
4 So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he spoke to him, upon the roll of a book.
तब यर्मियाले नेरियाहका छोरा बारूकलाई बोलाए, र परमप्रभुले यर्मियासँग बोल्‍नभएको सबै वचनको आवाज तिनको मुखबाट सुनेर बारूकले एउटा मुट्ठोमा लेखे ।
5 And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying: I am shut up, and cannot go into the house of the Lord.
त्‍यसपछि यर्मियाले बारूकलाई एउटा आज्ञा दिए । तिनले भने, “म थुनामा छु, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा जान सक्दिनँ ।
6 Go thou in therefore, and read out of the volume, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people in the house of the Lord on the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the hearing of all Juda that come out of their cities:
त्यसैले तिमी जानुपर्छ र मेरो आवाज सुनेर तिमीले मुट्ठोमा लेखेका कुरा पढ्नुपर्छ । उपवासको दिनमा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा मानिसहरू सुन्‍ने गरी र यहूदाका सहरहरूबाट आएका सबैले सुन्‍ने गरी तिमीले परमप्रभुको वचन पढ्नुपर्छ । यी वचन तिनीहरूका लागि घोषणा गर ।
7 If so be they may present their supplication before the Lord, and may return every one from his wicked way: for great is the wrath and indignation which the Lord hath pronounced against this people.
सायद कृपाको लागि तिनीहरूको बिन्ती परमप्रभुको सामु आउनेछ । परमप्रभुले यस जातिको विरुद्धमा घोषणा गर्नुभएको रिस र क्रोध गम्‍भिर भएको हुनाले सायद हरेक व्यक्ति आफ्नो दुष्‍ट मार्गबाट फर्कनेछ ।”
8 And Baruch the son of Nerias did according to all that Jeremias the prophet had commanded him, reading out of the volume the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.
त्यसैले यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले नेरियाहका छोरा बारूकलाई दिएका आज्ञाका हरेक कुरा तिनले गरे । तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा परमप्रभुका वचन चर्को सोरमा पढे ।
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that were come together out of the cities of Juda to Jerusalem.
यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको पाँचौं वर्षको नवौँ महिनामा यरूशलेमका सबै मानिस र यहूदाका सहरहरूबाट यरूशलेम आएका सबै मानिसले परमप्रभुको सामु उपवासको घोषणा गरे ।
10 And Baruch read out of the volume the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the treasury of Gamarias the son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entry of the new gate of the house of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people.
माथिल्लो चोकमा, परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको नयाँ मूल ढोकाको छेउमा भएको सचिव शापानका छोरा गमर्याहको कोठाबाट बारूकले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा यर्मियाका वचनहरू चर्को सोरमा पढे । सबै मानिसले सुन्‍ने गरी तिनले यसो गरे ।
11 And when Micheas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,
गमर्याहका छोरा, शापानका नाति मीकायाले मुट्ठोमा लेखिएका परमप्रभुका सबै वचन सुने ।
12 He went down into the king’s house to the secretary’s chamber: and behold all the princes sat there, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaias the son of Semeias, and Elnathan the son of Achobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedecias the son of Hananias, and all the princes.
तिनी राजमहलमा भएको सचिवको कोठामा गए । हेर, त्यहाँ सबै अधिकारी अर्थात् सचिव एलीशामा, शमायाहका छोरा दलायाह, अक्बोरका छोरा एल्नातान, शापानका छोरा गमर्याह र हनन्याहका छोरा सिदकियाह र अन्‍य सबै अधिकारी बसिरहेका थिए ।
13 And Micheas told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read out of the volume in the hearing of the people.
तब सबै मानिसले सुन्‍ने गरी बारूकले चर्को सोरमा पढेका सबै वचन जुन मीकायाले सुनेका थिए, तिनले तिनीहरूलाई ती बताइदिए ।
14 Therefore all the princes sent Judi the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, to Baruch, saying: Take in thy hand the volume in which thou hast read in the hearing of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Nerias took the volume in his hand, and came to them.
त्यसैले सबै अधिकारीले नतन्याहका छोरा, शेलेम्याहका नाति, कूशीका पनाति यहूदीलाई बारूककहाँ पठाए । यहूदीले बारूकलाई भने, “सबै मानिसले सुन्‍ने गरी तिमीले पढेको मुट्ठो आफ्नो हातमा लेऊ र आऊ ।” त्यसैले नेरियाहका छोरा बारूकले आफ्नो हातमा मुट्ठा लिए र अधिकारीहरूकहाँ गए ।
15 And they said to him: Sit down and read these things in our hearing. And Baruch read in their hearing.
तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “बस र यो हामीले सुन्‍ने गरी पढ ।” त्यसैले बारूकले मुट्ठो पढे ।
16 And when they had heard all the words, they looked upon one another with astonishment, and they said to Baruch: We must tell the king all these words.
जब तिनीहरूले यी सबै वचन सुने, तब डरले हरेक मानिसले एक-अर्कालाई हेर्न लागे, बारूकलाई भने, “निश्‍चय नै हामीले यी सबै वचन राजालाई बताउनैपर्छ ।”
17 And they asked him, saying: Tell us how didst thou write all these words from his mouth.
तब तिनीहरूले बारूकलाई सोधे, “हामीलाई बताऊ, तिमीले यर्मियाको आवाज सुनेर यी सबै वचन कसरी लेख्यौ?”
18 And Baruch said to them: With his mouth he pronounced all these words as if he were reading to me: and I wrote in a volume with ink.
बारूकले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिनले यी सबै वचन मलाई बोले र मैले तिनलाई यस मुट्ठोमा मसीले लेखें ।”
19 And the princes said to Baruch: Go, and hide thee, both thou and Jeremias, and let no man know where you are.
तब अधिकारीहरूले बारूकलाई भने, “जाऊ तिमी र यर्मिया पनि गएर लुक । तिमीहरू कहाँ छौ भनेर कसैले पनि थाहा नपाओस् ।”
20 And they went in to the king into the court: but they laid up the volume in the chamber of Elisama the scribe: and they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यस मुट्ठोलाई सचिव एलीशामाको कोठामा राखिदिए, र तिनीहरू चोकमा राजाकहाँ गए, अनि राजाले सुन्‍ने गरी हरेक कुरा तिनीहरूले बताए ।
21 And the king sent Judi that he should take the volume: who bringing it out of the chamber of Elisama the scribe, read it in the hearing of the king, and of all the princes that stood about the king.
तब राजाले यहूदीलाई त्यो मुट्ठो लिन पठाए । यहूदीले सचिव एलीशामाको कोठाबाट त्‍यो मुट्ठो लिए । तब तिनले राजा र तिनको छेउमा उभिरहेका सबै अधिकारीले सुन्‍ने गरी त्‍यो पढे ।
22 Now the king sat in the winter house, In the ninth month: and there was a hearth before him full of burning coals.
नवौँ महिनमा राजा हिउँदमा बस्‍ने महलमा बसिरहेका थिए, र तिनको सामु मकलमा आगो बलिरहेको थियो ।
23 And when Judi had read three or four pages, he cut it with the penknife, and he cast it into the Are, that was upon the hearth, till all the volume was consumed with the fire that was on the hearth.
जब यहूदीले तिन वा चार खण्ड पढेर सकेका मात्र थिए, राजाले चक्‍कूले ती काटे र जम्मै मुट्ठो नष्‍ट नभएसम्म त्‍यसलाई बलिरहेको मकलमा फाले ।
24 And the king and all his servants that heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they rend their garments.
तर यी वचन सुन्‍ने न राजा न तिनका अधिकारीहरू डराए, न त तिनीहरूले आफ्ना लुगा नै च्याते ।
25 But yet Elnathan, and Dalaias, and Gamarias spoke to the king, not to burn. the book: and he heard them not.
एल्नातान, दलायाह र गमर्याहले राजालाई मुट्ठो नजलाउन बिन्ती गरेका पनि थिए तर तिनले उनीहरूका कुरा सुनेनन् ।
26 And the king commanded Jeremiel the son of Amelech, and Saraias the son of Ezriel, and Selemias the son of Abdeel, to take up Baruch the scribe, and Jeremias the prophet: but the Lord hid them.
तब राजाले एक जना आफन्त यरहमेल, अज्रीएलका छोरा सरायाह र अबदीलका छोरा शेलेम्याहलाई सचिव बारूक र यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई गिरफ्‍तार गर्ने हुकुम गरे, तर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई लुकाउनुभएको थियो ।
27 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, after that the king had burnt the volume, and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremias, saying:
तब मुट्ठो र त्‍यसमा भएको यर्मियाको आवाज सुनेर बारूकले लेखेका वचनहरू राजाले जलाएपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
28 Take thee again another volume: and write in it all the former words that were in the first volume which Joakim the king of Juda hath burnt.
“फर्केर जा, आफ्‍नो निम्‍ति अर्को मुट्ठा लि, अनि यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमले जलाएको पहिलेको मुट्ठामा लेखिएका सबै वचन त्‍यसमा लेख् ।
29 And thou shalt say to Joakim the king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast burnt that volume, saying: Why hast thou written therein, and said: The king of Babylon shall come speedily, and shall lay waste this land: and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
तब यहूदाका राजालाई तैंले यसो भन्‍नुपर्छ, 'तैंले त्यो मुट्ठोलाई यसो भनेर जलाइस्, “बेबिलोनका राजा निश्‍चय पनि आउनेछन् र यस देशलाई नष्‍ट पार्नेछन्, किनकि उसले मानिस र पशु दुवैलाई नष्‍ट पार्नेछन्” भनेर तैंले यसमा किन लेखेको छस्?’
30 Therefore thus saith the Lord against Joakim the king of Juda: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day, and to the frost by night.
त्यसकारण यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमको विषयमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः तेरो कुनै पनि सन्तान कहिल्यै पनि दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बस्‍नेछैन । तेरो विषयमाचाहिं, तेरो लाश दिउँसोको घाममा र रातीको शीतमा लडिरहने छ ।
31 And I will punish him, and his seed and his servants, for their iniquities, and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Juda all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they have not heard.
किनकि तिमीहरू सबैले गरेका अधर्मको दण्‍ड म तेरा सन्तानहरू र तेरा सेवकहरूलाई दिनेछु । तँ, यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्‍दा र यहूदामा भएका हरेक व्यक्तिमाथि मैले ल्याउनेछु भनी घोषणा गरेका सबै विपत्ति म ल्याउनेछु, तर तैंले त्‍यसमा ध्यानै दिइनस्' ।”
32 And Jeremias took another volume, and gave it to Baruch the son of Nerias the scribe: who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim the king of Juda had burnt with fire: and there were added besides many more words than had been before.
त्यसैले यर्मियाले अर्को मुट्ठो लिए र त्‍यो नेरियाहका छोरा सचिव बारूकलाई दिए । यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमद्वारा जलाइएको मुट्ठोमा यर्मियाको आवाज सुनेर बारूकले लेखेका सबै वचन त्‍यसमा लेखे । यसबाहेक, अन्य धेरै उस्तै वचनहरू पनि त्यस मुट्ठोमा थपिए ।
