< यर्मिया 21 >
1 परमप्रभुको यो वचन यर्मियाकहाँ त्यति बेला आयो, जति बेला सिदकियाह राजाले मल्कियाहका छोरा पशहूर र मासेयाहका छोरा पुजारी सपन्याहलाई तिनीकहाँ पठाए, र तिनीहरूले भने,
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2 “हाम्रो पक्षमा परमप्रभुबाट सल्लाह खोज, किनकि बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले हामीमाथि युद्ध गर्देछन् । सायद विगतको समयमा जस्तै परमप्रभुले हाम्रो लागि आश्चर्यकर्म गर्नुहुनेछ र उसलाई हामीबाट फिर्ता जाने बनाउनुहुनेछ ।”
Will you get directions from the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, is making war against us; it may be that the Lord will do something for us like all the wonders he has done, and make him go away from us.
3 त्यसैले यर्मियाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले सिदकियाहलाई यसो भन्नुपर्छ,
Then Jeremiah said to them, This is what you are to say to Zedekiah:
4 'परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, तेरो हातमा लडाइँका जुन हतियारहरू छन्, जसद्वारा तैंले बेबिलोनका राजा र तँलाई पर्खालबाहिर घेराबन्दी गर्ने कल्दीहरूको विरुद्धमा लड्दैछस्, ती हतियारहरू म तेरै विरुद्धमा चलाउन लागेकोछु । किनकि म तिनलाई यस सहरको बिचमा जम्मा गर्नेछु ।
The Lord God of Israel has said, See, I am turning back the instruments of war in your hands, with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and the Chaldaeans, who are outside the walls and shutting you in; and I will get them together inside this town.
5 तब पसारिएको हात, शक्तिशाली पाखुरा, क्रोध, बदला र भयङ्कर रिसले म आफै तेरो विरुद्धमा लड्नेछु ।
And I myself will be fighting against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even with angry feeling and passion and in great wrath.
6 किनकि म यस सहरका बासिन्दाहरू, मानिस जनावरहरू दुवैलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु । भयङ्कर रुढीले तिनीहरू मर्नेछन् ।
And I will send a great disease on the people living in this town, on man and on beast, causing their death.
7 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, यसपछि यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाह, त्यसका सेवकहरू, मानिसहरू अनि रुढी, तरवार र अनिकालको प्रहारद्वारा पछि यस सहरमा बाँकी रहेकाहरू सबैलाई बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर, र तिनीहरूको जीवन लिन खोज्ने तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूको हातमा म दिनेछु । त्यसपछि उसले तिनीहरूलाई तरवारले मार्नेछ । उसले तिनीहरूलाई दया देखाउने, छोडिदिने वा कृपा गर्नेछैन ।'
And after that, says the Lord, I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his servants and his people, even those in the town who have not come to their end from the disease and the sword and from need of food, into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of their haters, and into the hands of those desiring their death: he will put them to the sword; he will not let anyone get away, he will have no pity or mercy.
8 “यी मानिसलाई तैंले यसो भन्नुपर्छ, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर, मैले तिमीहरूका सामु जीवनको मार्ग र मृत्यको मार्ग प्रस्तुत गर्न लागेको छु ।
And to this people you are to say, The Lord has said, See, I put before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 यस सहरमा बस्ने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति तरवार, अनिकाल र विपत्तिले मर्नेछ, तर यहाँबाट बाहिर निस्केर जाने र तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा घेराबन्दी गर्ने कल्दीहरूका सामु आफ्ना घुँडा टेक्ने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति बाँच्नेछ । उसले आफ्नो प्राण बचाउनेछ ।
He who keeps in this town will come to his death by the sword and through need of food and through disease; but he who goes out and gives himself up to the Chaldaeans who are shutting you in, will go on living, and will keep his life safe.
10 किनकि भलाइ होइन र विपत्ति ल्याउनलाई मैले यस सहरको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो अनुहार फर्काएको छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । यसलाई बेबिलोनका राजाको हातमा दिइएको छ, र उसले यसमा आगो लगाउनेछ ।'
For my face is turned to this town for evil and not for good, says the Lord: it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have it burned with fire.
11 “यहूदाका राजाको घरानाको विषयमा परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
About the family of the king of Judah. Give ear to the word of the Lord;
12 ए दाऊदका घराना हो, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'बिहान न्याय कायम गर । अत्याचार गर्नेको हातबाट लुटिएको व्यक्तिलाई बचाओ, नत्रता मेरो क्रोध आगोझैं निस्केर जानेछ र जलाउनेछ, र तिमीहरूका दुष्ट कामहरूका कारणले यसलाई निभाउन सक्ने त्यहाँ कोही छैन ।
O family of David, this is what the Lord has said: Do what is right in the morning, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away, or my wrath will go out like fire, burning so that no one may put it out, because of the evil of your doings.
13 ए बेँसीका बासिन्दा हो, मैदानका चट्टानमा बस्ने हो, म तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— यसो भन्ने कुनै पनि व्यक्तिको विरुद्धमा म छु, 'हामीलाई आक्रमण गर्नलाई को ओर्लेर आउनेछ र?' वा 'हाम्रा घरहरूमा को पस्नेछ र?'
See, I am against you, you who are living on the rock of the valley, says the Lord; you who say, Who will come down against us? or who will get into our houses?
14 तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा आउनलाई मैले तिमीहरूका अभ्यासको फल तोकेको छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— र झाडीहरूमा म आगो सल्काउनेछु, र त्यसले आफ्नो वरिपरि भएका हरेक कुरालाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।”
I will send punishment on you in keeping with the fruit of your doings, says the Lord: and I will put a fire in her woodlands, burning up everything round about her.
