< 2 Kings 25 >
1 It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and camped against it; and they built forts against it 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 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको एघारौँ वर्षसम्म सहरलाई घेरा हालियो ।
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
त्यस वर्षको चौथो महिनाको नवौँ दिनमा सहरमा यति घोर अनिकाल पर्यो कि देशका मानिसहरूका लागि खानेकुरा भएन ।
4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and they went by the way of 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 after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
तर कल्दीहरूका सेनाले सिदकियाह राजालाई खेदे, र यरीहो नजिकैको यर्दन नदीका मैदानहरूमा तिनलाई भेट्टाए । तिनका सबै सेना तिनीबाट तितर-बितर भए ।
6 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment on him.
तिनीहरूले राजालाई गिरफ्तार गरे र तिनलाई रिब्लामा बेबिलोनका राजाकहाँ ल्याए, जहाँ तिनीहरूले तिनलाई फैसला सुनाए ।
7 They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
तिनीहरूले सिदकियाहका छोराहरूलाई तिनकै आँखाका सामु मारे । तब तिनका आँखा तिनले निकाले, तिनलाई काँसाका साङ्लाहरूले बाँधे र तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा ल्याए ।
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
अब बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको शासनकालको उन्नाइसौँ वर्षको पाँचौँ महिनाको सातौँ दिनमा बेबिलोनका राजाका सेवक अनि अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापति नबूजरदान यरूशलेममा आए ।
9 He burnt the house of YHWH, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.
परमप्रभुको मन्दिर, राजदरबार र यरूशलेमका सबै घरहरूमा तिनले आगो लगाए । सहरका हरेक महत्त्वपूर्ण भवनमा पनि तिनले आगो लगाए ।
10 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
अङ्गरक्षकहरूको सेनापतिको अधीनमा रहेका बेबिलोनका सबै सेनाले यरूशलेम वरिपरिको पर्खालहरू नष्ट पारिदिए ।
11 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
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 some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
तर अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापतिले दाखबारी र खेतबारीमा काम गर्न सबैभन्दा गरिबहरूलाई त्यहीँ छाडिदिए ।
13 The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in the house of YHWH and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of YHWH, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखिएका काँसाका स्तम्भहरू, आधारहरू र काँसाको विशाल खड्कुँलोलाई कल्दीहरूले टुक्राटुक्रा पारे र काँसालाई बेबिलोनमा लगे ।
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
भाँडाहरू, बेल्चाहरू, सलेदाका चिम्टाहरू, चम्चाहरू र मन्दिरमा पुजारीहरूले सेवा गर्दा प्रयोग गरिने काँसाका सबै सामान पनि कल्दीहरूले लगे ।
15 The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
राजाका सेनापतिले खरानी उठाउने भाँडाहरू अनि सुन र चाँदीले बनेका कचौराहरू लिएर गए ।
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of YHWH, the bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
सोलोमनले मन्दिरको लागि बनाएका दुईवटा स्तम्भ, विशाल खड्कुँलो र आधारहरूमा भएका काँसा जोख्नै सकिंदनथ्यो ।
17 The height of the one pillar was thirty-one feet, and a capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the capital was eight feet seven inches, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze: and like to these had the second pillar with network.
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 took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापतिले मुख्य पुजारी सरायाह, दोस्रो दर्जाका पुजारी सपन्याह र तिन जना द्वारपाललाई लिएर गए ।
19 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, 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 the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
तब अङ्गरक्षकका सेनापति नबूजरदानले तिनीहरूलाई लगे र रिब्लामा बेबिलोनका राजाकहाँ ल्याए ।
21 The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
बेबिलोनका राजाले हमात देशको रिब्लामा तिनीहरूलाई मारे । यसरी यहूदा आफ्नो देशबाट निर्वासनमा लगियो ।
22 As for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले शापानका नाति, अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई यहूदामा बाँकी छोडिएका मानिसहरूमाथि निरिक्षक नियुक्त गरे ।
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and 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 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, "Do not be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall 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 But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that 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 All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
तब सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै मानिससाथै सिपाहीहरूका सेनापतिहरू उठे, र तिनीहरू मिश्रमा गए किनकि तिनीहरू बेबिलोनीहरूदेखि डराएका थिए ।
27 It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Awil-Marduk king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of 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 him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
राजाले तिनीसँग दयापूर्वक कुरा गरे, र बेबिलोनमा तिनीसित भएका अरू राजाहरूलाई भन्दा तिनलाई इज्जतदार ठाउँमा बसाए ।
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
एबील-मरोदकले यहोयाकीनका कैदका लुगाहरू उतारे, र यहोयाकीनले आफ्नो बाँकी जीवनकालभरि राजाको टेबुलमा बसेर नियमित रूपमा खाए ।
30 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
तिनको जीवनको बाँकी समयभरि हरेक दिन खानाको भत्ता तिनलाई नियमित रूपमा दिइयो ।
