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,
Yahweh gave me another message when King Zedekiah [of Judah] sent [a man who was also named] Pashhur, the son of Malkijah, and a priest named Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, [to talk to me. They pleaded with me], 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 ।”
“[The army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is attacking Judah. Please speak to Yahweh for us. [Ask him if he will help us]. Perhaps he will force Nebuchadnezzar’s [army] to leave by performing a miracle for us, like the miracles he performed [previously].”
3 त्यसैले यर्मियाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले सिदकियाहलाई यसो भन्नुपर्छ,
I replied to them, “[Go back to King] Zedekiah. Tell him,
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 ।
‘This is what Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “I will cause your weapons to be useless in fighting against the king of Babylon and his army that is outside the walls of Jerusalem, attacking. I will enable them to enter into the center of this city.
5 तब पसारिएको हात, शक्तिशाली पाखुरा, क्रोध, बदला र भयङ्कर रिसले म आफै तेरो विरुद्धमा लड्नेछु ।
I myself will fight against your [army] with my very great power, [MTY, DOU] because I am very angry with you.
6 किनकि म यस सहरका बासिन्दाहरू, मानिस जनावरहरू दुवैलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु । भयङ्कर रुढीले तिनीहरू मर्नेछन् ।
I will send a very (terrible plague/big sickness) on the people of this city, and on their domestic animals, and [many of] them will die.”
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 Yahweh says there are many people in this city who want to kill you. So, he will enable [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and other people in this city to capture [you], King Zedekiah, and your officials, and [all the other] people who do not die from the plague. His army will slaughter your soldiers; they will not act mercifully toward you(pl) or pity you at all. [DOU]’
8 “यी मानिसलाई तैंले यसो भन्नुपर्छ, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर, मैले तिमीहरूका सामु जीवनको मार्ग र मृत्यको मार्ग प्रस्तुत गर्न लागेको छु ।
And tell this to [all] the people: ‘Yahweh says that you must decide whether you want to die or to remain alive.
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 ।
Everyone who remains in Jerusalem will die. They will be killed in battles or die from being hungry or from diseases. But those who surrender to the army of Babylon that is surrounding your city will remain alive. They will escape dying.
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 ।'
[That will happen] because I, Yahweh, have decided to cause this city to experience disasters, not to experience something good. The army of the king of Babylon will capture this city and will destroy it [completely] by fire.’”
11 “यहूदाका राजाको घरानाको विषयमा परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
[Yahweh also told me to] say this to the family of the king of Judah: “Listen to this message from Yahweh!
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 ।
This is what he says to you descendants of King David: ‘Every day, make fair decisions for the people whom you judge. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue/Save them from those [SYN] who (oppress them/treat them cruelly). If you do not do that, I will be angry and punish [MTY] you with a fire that will be impossible to extinguish, because of [all] the sins that you have committed.
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?'
I will fight against you people [of Jerusalem], you who live on top of a rocky hill above the valley. [I will fight against] you people who boast, saying, “No one can attack us and break through [our defenses].”
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 punish you for your wicked deeds like you deserve to be punished; [It will be as though] I will light a fire in your forests that will burn up everything around you!’”
