< २ राजाहरू 25 >
1 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 ।
And it came to pass 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 encamped against it; and they built forts against it on all sides.
2 त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको एघारौँ वर्षसम्म सहरलाई घेरा हालियो ।
And the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 त्यस वर्षको चौथो महिनाको नवौँ दिनमा सहरमा यति घोर अनिकाल पर्यो कि देशका मानिसहरूका लागि खानेकुरा भएन ।
And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 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 ।
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city on all sides: ) and the king went the way toward the plain.
5 तर कल्दीहरूका सेनाले सिदकियाह राजालाई खेदे, र यरीहो नजिकैको यर्दन नदीका मैदानहरूमा तिनलाई भेट्टाए । तिनका सबै सेना तिनीबाट तितर-बितर भए ।
And the army of the Chaldees pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 तिनीहरूले राजालाई गिरफ्तार गरे र तिनलाई रिब्लामा बेबिलोनका राजाकहाँ ल्याए, जहाँ तिनीहरूले तिनलाई फैसला सुनाए ।
So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they pronounced sentence upon him.
7 तिनीहरूले सिदकियाहका छोराहरूलाई तिनकै आँखाका सामु मारे । तब तिनका आँखा तिनले निकाले, तिनलाई काँसाका साङ्लाहरूले बाँधे र तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा ल्याए ।
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 अब बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको शासनकालको उन्नाइसौँ वर्षको पाँचौँ महिनाको सातौँ दिनमा बेबिलोनका राजाका सेवक अनि अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापति नबूजरदान यरूशलेममा आए ।
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem:
9 परमप्रभुको मन्दिर, राजदरबार र यरूशलेमका सबै घरहरूमा तिनले आगो लगाए । सहरका हरेक महत्त्वपूर्ण भवनमा पनि तिनले आगो लगाए ।
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house he burnt with fire.
10 अङ्गरक्षकहरूको सेनापतिको अधीनमा रहेका बेबिलोनका सबै सेनाले यरूशलेम वरिपरिको पर्खालहरू नष्ट पारिदिए ।
And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem on all sides.
11 बेबिलोनका राजालाई वेवास्ता गरेका सहरमा बाँकी बचेका मानिसहरू अनि बाँकी रहेका अरू मानिसहरूका सम्बन्धमा अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापति नबूजरदानले, तिनीहरूलाई निर्वासनमा लगे ।
Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 तर अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापतिले दाखबारी र खेतबारीमा काम गर्न सबैभन्दा गरिबहरूलाई त्यहीँ छाडिदिए ।
But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.
13 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखिएका काँसाका स्तम्भहरू, आधारहरू र काँसाको विशाल खड्कुँलोलाई कल्दीहरूले टुक्राटुक्रा पारे र काँसालाई बेबिलोनमा लगे ।
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 भाँडाहरू, बेल्चाहरू, सलेदाका चिम्टाहरू, चम्चाहरू र मन्दिरमा पुजारीहरूले सेवा गर्दा प्रयोग गरिने काँसाका सबै सामान पनि कल्दीहरूले लगे ।
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass by which they ministered, they took away.
15 राजाका सेनापतिले खरानी उठाउने भाँडाहरू अनि सुन र चाँदीले बनेका कचौराहरू लिएर गए ।
And the firepans, and the basins, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 सोलोमनले मन्दिरको लागि बनाएका दुईवटा स्तम्भ, विशाल खड्कुँलो र आधारहरूमा भएका काँसा जोख्नै सकिंदनथ्यो ।
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was beyond weight.
17 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 ।
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass: and the height of the capital three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the capital around, all of brass: and like these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18 अङ्गरक्षकहरूका सेनापतिले मुख्य पुजारी सरायाह, दोस्रो दर्जाका पुजारी सपन्याह र तिन जना द्वारपाललाई लिएर गए ।
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
19 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 ।
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20 तब अङ्गरक्षकका सेनापति नबूजरदानले तिनीहरूलाई लगे र रिब्लामा बेबिलोनका राजाकहाँ ल्याए ।
And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 बेबिलोनका राजाले हमात देशको रिब्लामा तिनीहरूलाई मारे । यसरी यहूदा आफ्नो देशबाट निर्वासनमा लगियो ।
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
22 बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले शापानका नाति, अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई यहूदामा बाँकी छोडिएका मानिसहरूमाथि निरिक्षक नियुक्त गरे ।
And as for the people that remained 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, ruler.
23 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 ।
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24 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 ।”
And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
25 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 ।
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26 तब सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै मानिससाथै सिपाहीहरूका सेनापतिहरू उठे, र तिनीहरू मिश्रमा गए किनकि तिनीहरू बेबिलोनीहरूदेखि डराएका थिए ।
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
27 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 ।
And it came to pass 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 Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 राजाले तिनीसँग दयापूर्वक कुरा गरे, र बेबिलोनमा तिनीसित भएका अरू राजाहरूलाई भन्दा तिनलाई इज्जतदार ठाउँमा बसाए ।
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29 एबील-मरोदकले यहोयाकीनका कैदका लुगाहरू उतारे, र यहोयाकीनले आफ्नो बाँकी जीवनकालभरि राजाको टेबुलमा बसेर नियमित रूपमा खाए ।
And changed his prison garments: and he ate his food daily before him all the days of his life.
30 तिनको जीवनको बाँकी समयभरि हरेक दिन खानाको भत्ता तिनलाई नियमित रूपमा दिइयो ।
And his allowance was a daily allowance given him by the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
