< २ इतिहास 36 >
1 त्यसपछि देशका मानिसहरूले योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाजलाई लिए र यरूशलेममा तिनका बुबाको ठाउँमा तिनलाई राजा बनाए ।
The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in succession to his father.
2 यहोआहाजले राज्य सुरु गर्दा तिनी तेइस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा तीन महिना राज्य गरे ।
Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months.
3 मिश्रदेशका राजाले यरूशलेममा तिनलाई हटाए, र देशमाथि एक सय तोडा चाँदी र एक तोडा सुनको जरिवाना लगाए ।
Then the king of Egypt removed him from the throne in Jerusalem and imposed a tax on Judah of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 मिश्रदेशका राजाले यहोआहाजका भाइ एल्याकीमलाई यहूदा र यरूशलेममाथि राजा तुल्याए (र तिनको नाउँ यहोयाकीममा बदली गरे) । तब नेकोले तिनका दाजु यहोआहाजलाई मिश्रदेशमा लगे ।
Neco, king of Egypt, made Eliakim, Jehoahaz's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz back with him to Egypt.
5 यहोयाकीमले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पच्चिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा एघार वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे ।
Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
6 त्यसपछि बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले तिनलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा लानलाई तिनलाई साङ्लाले बाँधे ।
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jehoiakim. He captured him and put bronze shackles on him, and brought him to Babylon.
7 नबूकदनेसरले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका केही सामानहरू पनि बेबिलोनमा लगे र तिनले ती बेबिलोनको आफ्नै दरबारमा राखे ।
Nebuchadnezzar also took some items from the Lord's Temple, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 यहोयाकीमको राजकालका अरू घटनाहरू, र तिनले गरेका घिनलाग्दा कामहरू, र तिनको विरुद्ध पाइएका कुराहरू यहूदा र इस्राएलका राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् । त्यसपछि तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा यहोयाकीन राजा भए ।
The rest of what Jehoiakim, the disgusting sins he committed, and all the evidence against him, are written down in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin took over as king.
9 यहोयाकीन ले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी आठ वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा तीन महिना दश दिन राज्य गरे । तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरो खराब थियो, त्यही गरे ।
Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
10 बसन्त ऋतुमा राजा नबूकदनेसरले मानिसहरू पठाएर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका मूल्यवान सामानहरूको साथमा तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा ल्याए, र तिनका आफन्त सिदकियाहलाई यहूदा र यरूशलेममाथि राजा तुल्याए ।
In the spring of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and brought him to Babylon, along with valuable items from the Lord's Temple, and he made Jehoiachin's uncle Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 सिदकियाहले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी एक्काइस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा एघार वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 तिनले परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो त्यही गरे । परमप्रभुको वचन बोल्ने यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको सामु तिनले आफैलाई विनम्र पारेनन् ।
He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and he refused to admit his pride when the prophet Jeremiah warned him directly from the Lord.
13 परमेश्वरको नाउँमा तिनलाई शपथ खुवाउने राजा नबूकदनेसरसँग पनि तिनले बिद्रोह गरे । तर सिदकियाहले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरतिर फर्किआउने कुराको विरुद्ध तिनी हठी भए र आफ्नो हृदय कठोर पारे ।
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath of loyalty by God. Zedekiah was arrogant and hard-hearted, and refused to come back to the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 यसबाहेक अरू जातिहरूका सबै घिनलाग्दा कामका अनुसरण गरेर परमप्रभुले यरूशलेममा पवित्र गर्नुभएको उहाँको मन्दिरलाई अपवित्र पारेर पुजारीहरू र मानिसहरूका सबै अगुवाहरू अत्यन्तै विश्वासघाती भए । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुले यरूशलेममा पवित्र गर्नुभएको मन्दिरलाई अपवित्र पारे ।
All the leaders of the priests and the people were also totally faithless and sinful, following all the disgusting practices of the heathen nations. They defiled the Lord's Temple that he had set apart as holy in Jerusalem.
15 परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना दूतहरूद्वारा घरिघरि वचन दिनुभयो, किनभने आफ्ना मानिस र आफ्नो वासस्थानमाथि उहाँले दया गर्नुभयो ।
Again and again the Lord, the God of their fathers, warned his people through his prophets, because he wanted to show mercy to them and to his Temple.
16 तर परमप्रभुको क्रोध उहाँका मानिसहरूमाथि नपरुञ्जेल र सहायता आउने बाटो बन्द हुनेगरी तिनीहरूले उहाँका दूतहरूको गिल्ला गरे, उहाँको वचनहरूको निन्दा गरे र उहाँका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई हाँसोमा उडाए ।
But they ridiculed God's messengers, they despised his warnings and mocked his prophets, until the Lord's anger against his people was provoked to such an extent it couldn't be stopped.
17 यसैले परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा कल्दीका राजालाई ल्याउनुभयो, जसले पवित्रस्थानभित्रै तिनीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई तरवारले मारे, र जवान मानिसहरू, कन्याहरू, वृद्धहरू वा कपाल सेतै फुलेकाहरू कसैलाई पनि तिनले छोडेनन् । परमेश्वरले ती सबैलाई तिनको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो ।
So the Lord brought the king of Babylon to attack them. His army killed by the sword their best young men even in the sanctuary. The Babylonians did not spare young men or young women, the sick or the elderly. God handed them all over to Nebuchadnezzar.
18 परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सानाठूला सबै भाँडा र परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका दामीदामी थोकहरू सबै तिनले बेबिलोनमा लगे ।
He took back to Babylon all the articles, large and small, from God's Temple, and from the Temple treasury, and from the king and from his officials.
19 उनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर जलाइदिए, र यरूशलेमको पर्खाल भत्काइदिए, सहरका सबै महलहरू जलाइदिए, र त्यहाँ भएका सबै सुन्दर कुरा नष्ट गरे ।
Then the Babylonians burned down God's Temple and demolished Jerusalem's walls. They set fire to all the palaces and destroyed everything that had any value.
20 तरवारबाट उम्केकाहरूलाई राजाले कैद गरेर बेबिलोनमा लगे । तिनीहरू फारसको शासनमा नआउञ्जेल उनका र उनका छोराहरूका दास-दासी भए ।
Nebuchadnezzar took into exile in Babylon those who had not been killed. They were slaves for himself and his sons, until the kingdom of Persia took over.
21 यर्मिया अगमवक्ताद्वारा बोलिएको परमप्रभुको वचन पूरा हुनलाई, देशले आफ्नो शबाथको बिश्रामको आनन्द नलिउञ्जेलसम्म यसो भयो । यसरी नै सत्तरी वर्ष पूरा नगुञ्जेल र विश्रामको पूरा समय नकाटुञ्जेल नाश भएको सबै समयभरि नै देशले शबाथको विश्राम पालन गर्दैरह्यो ।
So to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the land enjoyed its Sabbaths as rest all the time it was left desolate, keeping the Sabbath until seventy years were completed.
22 फारसका राजा कोरेसको पहिलो वर्षमा यर्मियाद्वारा भनिएको परमप्रभुको वचन पूरा हुन परमप्रभुले फारसका राजाको आत्मालाई प्रोत्साहित पार्नुभयो, ताकि उनले आफ्नो साम्राज्यभरि एउटा घोषणा निकाले र त्यसलाई लेख्ने काम पनि गरे । तिनले यसो भने:
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
23 “फारसका राजा कोरेस यसो भन्छन्: परमप्रभु स्वर्गका परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीका सबै राज्य मलाई दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई यहूदाको यरूशलेममा उहाँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर बनाउन आज्ञा गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँका सबै मानिसध्येबाट जो-जो अहिले यहाँ छौ, परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वर तिमीहरूसँग रहनुभएको होस् । त्यो आफ्नो देशमा यरूशलेममा जाओस् ।”
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go there. May the Lord your God be with you.’”
