यर्मिया 27

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

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

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

Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around thy 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 send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of 'Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto 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 thou shalt charge them unto their masters, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto 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 ।

It is I who have made the earth, the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it unto the one who seemeth proper 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 it is I who have given all these countries into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and also the beasts of the field have I given him to 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 nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land is also come in its turn: when many nations and great kings shall make it serve.

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 ।

And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck in the yoke of the king of Babylon, —even that nation will I punish with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, saith the Lord, until I have made an end of 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 ।

But do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye 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 falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might 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' ।”

But the nation that will bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, —that one will I then let remain quietly in its own land, saith the Lord: and it shall till it, and dwell therein.

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 unto Zedekiah the king of Judah did I speak in accordance with all these words, saying, Bring your neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, that ye may 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 will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will not 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 ।

And do ye not hearken unto the words of the prophets that say unto you, as followeth, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto 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, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy in my name falsely: in order that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto 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 ।

And unto the priests and unto all this people did I speak, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Do not hearken to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall be brought again from Babylon now speedily; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.

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

Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, that ye may live: wherefore should this city become a ruin?

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 ।

And if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession with the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, may not be carried 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 hath said the Lord of hosts of the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left 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 away, when he carried away into exile Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

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

[Yea] for thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and in 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' ।”

Unto Babylon shall they be carried, and there shall they remain until the day that I think of them, saith the Lord, when I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
