२ इतिहास 36

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

Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and they anointed him and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.

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

Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

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

The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one 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 ।

The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried 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 years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH his God.

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

Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

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

Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of YHWH to Babylon, and put 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 ।

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

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 years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH.

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

At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of YHWH, and made Zedekiah his relative 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 years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years 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 that which was evil in the sight of YHWH his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of YHWH.

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 by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to YHWH, 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 ।

Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of YHWH which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

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

YHWH, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, 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 the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of YHWH arose against his people, until 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 ।

Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.

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

All the vessels of God's house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king, and of his officials, all these he brought to Babylon.

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

They burnt God's house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.

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

He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

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 YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

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:

Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also 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 ।”

"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'YHWH, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, YHWH his God be with him, and let him go up.'"
