२ इतिहास 36

1 त्यसपछि देशका मानिसहरूले योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाजलाई लिए र यरूशलेममा तिनका बुबाको ठाउँमा तिनलाई राजा बनाए ।

And the people of the land took Jehoachaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

2 यहोआहाजले राज्य सुरु गर्दा तिनी तेइस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा तीन महिना राज्य गरे ।

Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem.

3 मिश्रदेशका राजाले यरूशलेममा तिनलाई हटाए, र देशमाथि एक सय तोडा चाँदी र एक तोडा सुनको जरिवाना लगाए ।

And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land 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 ।

And the king of Egypt made Elyakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoyakim. And Joachaz his brother did Necho take away, and bring 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 ।

Twenty and five years old was Jehoyakim when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.

6 त्यसपछि बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले तिनलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा लानलाई तिनलाई साङ्लाले बाँधे ।

Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he bound him with fetters, to carry him away to Babylon.

7 नबूकदनेसरले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका केही सामानहरू पनि बेबिलोनमा लगे र तिनले ती बेबिलोनको आफ्नै दरबारमा राखे ।

And some of the vessels of the house of the Lord did Nebuchadnezzar carry to Babylon, and he placed them in his temple at 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 ।

And the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and his abominable deeds which he did, and that which was found concerning him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.

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 ।

Eight years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months and ten days did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.

10 बसन्त ऋतुमा राजा नबूकदनेसरले मानिसहरू पठाएर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका मूल्यवान सामानहरूको साथमा तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा ल्याए, र तिनका आफन्त सिदकियाहलाई यहूदा र यरूशलेममाथि राजा तुल्याए ।

And with the expiration of the year did king Nebuchadnezzar send and had him brought to Babylon, with the costly vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem,

11 सिदकियाहले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी एक्‍काइस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा एघार वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem.

12 तिनले परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो त्यही गरे । परमप्रभुको वचन बोल्ने यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको सामु तिनले आफैलाई विनम्र पारेनन् ।

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God: he humbled himself not before Jeremiah the prophet, according to the order of 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 ।

And also against king Nebuchadnezzar did he rebel, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart so as not to return unto 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 ।

Also all the chiefs of the priests and the people committed manifold trespasses, like all the abominable acts of the [foreign] nations: and they defiled the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

15 परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना दूतहरूद्वारा घरिघरि वचन दिनुभयो, किनभने आफ्ना मानिस र आफ्नो वासस्थानमाथि उहाँले दया गर्नुभयो ।

And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them by means of his messengers, making [them] rise early, and sending [them]: because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place;

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 mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scorned his prophets, until the fury of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

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 ।

And he brought over them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, the old man, and the aged: all did he give up into his hand.

18 परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरका सानाठूला सबै भाँडा र परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका दामीदामी थोकहरू सबै तिनले बेबिलोनमा लगे ।

And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, —all these did he carry to Babylon.

19 उनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर जलाइदिए, र यरूशलेमको पर्खाल भत्काइदिए, सहरका सबै महलहरू जलाइदिए, र त्यहाँ भएका सबै सुन्दर कुरा नष्‍ट गरे ।

And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and all her palaces they burnt with fire, and all her costly vessels they gave up to destruction.

20 तरवारबाट उम्केकाहरूलाई राजाले कैद गरेर बेबिलोनमा लगे । तिनीहरू फारसको शासनमा नआउञ्जेल उनका र उनका छोराहरूका दास-दासी भए ।

And those that had escaped from the sword did he carry into exile to Babylon: and they were servants to him and to his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to the government:

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 ।

To fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had satisfied its sabbaths: all the days of its desolation it rested, till 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:

And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the completion of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, did the Lord stir up the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia, so that he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of 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 ।”

Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
