यर्मिया 27

1 यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको सुरुमा परमप्रभुको यो वचन यर्मियाकहाँ आयो ।

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “आफ्नो निम्ति डोरीहरू र एउटा जुवा बना । ती तेरो घाँटीमा बाँध् ।

“Thus says the Lord to me: Make bands and chains for yourself. And you shall place them on your neck.

3 तब तिनलाई एदोमका राजा, मोआबका राजा, अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका राजा, टुरोसका राजा र सीदोनका राजाकहाँ पठा । यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहकहाँ यरूशलेममा आउने ती राजाहरूका दूतहरूको हातद्वारा ती पठा ।

And you shall send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who came to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the king of Judah.

4 तिनीहरूका मालिकहरूका लागि तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दे र यसो भन्, 'सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना मालिकहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नुपर्छ,

And you shall instruct them to say to their masters: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You shall say these things to your masters:

5 'मेरो महाशक्ति र पसारिएको पाखुराद्वारा म आफैले पृथ्वी बनाएँ । मैले पृथ्वीका मानिसहरू र जनावरहरू पनि बनाएँ, र मेरो दृष्‍टिमा ठिक लागेको जोकसैलाई म यो सुम्पिदिन्छु ।

I made the earth, and the men and beasts which are upon the face of the earth, by my great strength and by my outstretched arm. And I have given it to whomever it was pleasing in my eyes.

6 त्यसैले अब म आफैले यी सबै देश मेरो दास, बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको हातमा दिंदैछु । साथै, त्यसको सेवा गर्नलाई जमिनका जीवित प्राणीहरू पनि म त्यसलाई दिंदैछु ।

And now, therefore, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant. Moreover, I have given to him also the beasts of the field, so that they may serve him.

7 किनकि उसको देशको निम्‍ति समय नआएसम्म सबै जातिले ऊ, उसको छोरो र उसको नातिको सेवा गर्नेछन् । त्यसपछि धेरै जातिहरू र महान् राजाहरूले त्यसलाई अधीन गर्नेछन् ।

And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and his son’s son. Many nations and great kings will serve him, until the time arrives for him and his land.

8 त्‍यसैले बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको सेवा नगर्ने जाति वा राज्य र बेबिलोनका राजाको जुवामुनि आफ्नो काँध थाप्‍न नमान्‍ने जोकसैलाई उसको हातद्वारा त्‍यो नष्‍ट नहुञ्जेल म तरवार, अनिकाल र विपत्तिले दण्ड दिनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।

But the nation or kingdom that will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and whoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I consume them by his hand.

9 त्यसैले 'बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा नगर्नू' भनेर तिमीहरूसँग बोलिरहने तिमीहरूका अगमवक्ताहरू, जोखना हेर्नेहरू, सपनाको अर्थ खोल्नेहरू, भूतप्रेत खेलाउनेहरू र जादुगरी गर्नेहरूको कुरा नसुन्‍नू ।

Therefore, you should not choose to listen to your own prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, who say to you: ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’

10 तिमीहरूलाई आफ्नो देशबाट टाढा पठाउन भनेर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई झूटा कुराको अगमवाणी बोल्दैछन्, किनकि म तिमीहरूलाई धपाउनेछु, र तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ ।

For they prophesy lies to you, so that they may cause you to be far from your own country, and may cast you out, and may cause you to perish.

11 तर बेबिलोनका राजाको जुवामुनि आफ्नो काँध थाप्‍ने र उसको सेवा गर्ने जातिलाई चाहिं आफ्‍नै देशमा विश्राम गर्न म दिनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, र तिनीहरूले त्‍यसको खनजोत गर्नेछन्, र त्‍यहाँ आफ्ना घरहरू बनाउनेछन्' ।”

Furthermore, the nation which will bend its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and which will serve him, I will permit them to remain in their own land, says the Lord. And they will cultivate it, and they will live in it.”

12 त्यसैले यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहसित मैले बोलें र तिनलाई यो सन्देश दिएँ, “आफ्‍नो काँधमा बेबिलोनका राजाको जुवा थाप र ऊ र उसका मानिसहरूको सेवा गर, अनि तिमी बाँच्नेछौ ।

And I spoke to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, according to all these words, saying: “Subject your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and you will live.

13 तिमी किन मर्ने—तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरू तरवार, अनिकाल र विपत्तिले किन मर्ने, जसरी बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा गर्न इन्कार गर्ने जातिको विषयमा मैले घोषणा गरेको छु?

Why should you suffer death, you and your people, by the sword, and famine, and pestilence, just as the Lord has spoken against any nation that refuses to serve the king of Babylon?

14 ती अगमवक्ताहरूको वचन नसुन जसले तिमीसित बोल्‍छन् र यसो भन्‍छन्, 'बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा नगर,' किनकि तिनीहरूले तिमीलाई झूटो कुराको अगमवाणी बोल्दैछन् ।

Do not choose to listen to the words of the prophets, saying to you: ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ For they are speaking a lie to you.

15 ‘किनकि यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मैले तिनीहरूलाई पठाएको छैनँ, किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरो नाउँमा झूटा कुरो अगमवाणी बोल्दैछन् जसको कारणले म तँलाई धपाउनेछु, अनि तिमी र तिम्रो निम्‍ति अगमवाणी बोलिरहने अगमवक्ताहरू दुवै मर्नेछौ' ।”

For I have not sent them, says the Lord. And they prophesy falsely in my name, so that they may cast you out, and so that you may perish, both you and the prophets who make predictions for you.”

16 मैले पुजारीहरू र सबै मानिसहरूलाई यो कुरा घोषणा गरें र यसो भनें, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः तिमीहरूका अगमवक्ताहरूको वचन नसुन जसले तिमीहरूका निम्‍ति अगमवाणी बोल्छन् र यसो भन्‍छन्, 'हेर, परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका सामानहरू अहिले बेबिलोनबाट फर्काइँदैछन् ।' तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई झूटो कुरा अगमवाणी बोल्दै छन् ।

I spoke also to the priests and to this people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Do not choose to listen to the words of your prophets, who prophesy to you, saying: ‘Behold, the vessels of the Lord will now quickly be returned from Babylon.’ For they are prophesying to you a lie.

17 तिनीहरूको कुरा नसुन्‍नू । तिमीहरूले बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा गर्नुपर्छ र बाँच्नुपर्छ । यो सहर किन भग्‍नावशेष हुने?

Therefore, do not choose to listen to them, but instead, serve the king of Babylon, so that you may live. Why should this city be given over into desolation?

18 तिनीहरू अगमवक्ताहरू हुन्, र परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीहरूकहाँ साँच्‍चै आएको हो भने, यस मन्दिर, यहूदाका राजाको महल र यरूशलेमका सामानहरू बेबिलोनमा नलान भनेर तिनीहरूले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाऊन् ।

But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, then let them intercede before the Lord of hosts, so that the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.

19 स्तम्भहरू, 'खँड्कुलो' भनेर चिनिने विशाल बाटा र यसको आधार अनि यस सहरमा बाँकी रहेका सामानहरूका बबारेमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ—

For thus says the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea of brass, and to the bases, and to the remainder of the vessels that have been left behind in this city,

20 अर्थात् बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमका छोरा यहोयाकीनका साथमा यहूदा र यरूशलेका सबै कुलीनहरूलाई यरूशलेमबाट कैद गरेर बेबिलोनमा लैजाँदा तिनले नलगेका समानहरू ।

which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, did not take when he carried away Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem into Babylon, with all the nobility of Judah and Jerusalem:

21 परमप्रभुको मन्दिर, यहूदाका राजाको महल र यरूशलेममा बाँकी रहेका सामानहरूका विषयमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ,

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and Jerusalem:

22 'ती बेबिलोनमा लगिनेछन्, र ती फर्काइने दिन नआएसम्म ती त्यहीँ नै रहनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । त्यसपछि म तिनलाई ल्याउनेछु, र तिनलाई यस ठाउँमा पुनर्स्थापित गराउनेछु' ।”

They shall be carried away to Babylon, and there they shall be, until the day of their visitation, says the Lord. And then I will cause them to be carried back, and to be restored to this place.
