यर्मिया 28
1 त्यही वर्ष अर्थात् यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहले राज्य गरेको चौथो वर्षको पाँचौं महिनामा अज्जूरका छोरा, गिबोनमा बस्ने अगमवक्ता हनन्याहले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पुजारीहरू र सबै मानिसको सामु मसित बोले । तिनले भने,
When Zedekiah had been the King of Judah for more than three years, late in the (summer/hot season), Azzur’s son Hananiah, a prophet from Gibeon [city], spoke to me in the [courtyard of the] temple, while [all] the priests and other people were listening. He said,
2 “सर्वशक्तिमान्, परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'बेबिलोनका राजाद्वारा लादिएको जुवा मैले भाँचेको छु ।
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘I will cause the king of Babylon to stop ruling/controlling [MET] [all of you].
3 बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले यस ठाउँबाट लगेको र बेबिलोनमा ओसारेको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका सबै सामान म दुई वर्षभित्रमा यही ठाउँमा फर्काएर ल्याउनेछु ।
(Within two years/Before two years have ended), I will cause to be brought bring back to this temple all the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took from this temple and took to Babylon.
4 त्यसपछि बेबिलोनमा पठाइएका यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमका छोरा यहोयाकीन र यहूदाका सबै बन्दीलाई म फर्काएर ल्याउनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, किनकि बेबिलोनका राजाको जुवालाई म भाँच्नेछु' ।”
And I will also cause King Jehoiachin to be brought back here, and all the [other] people who were captured and taken to Babylon. The king of Babylon has [forced you to do what he wants, like someone] puts a yoke [on the neck of an ox to force it to do what he] wants [MET] it to do. But I will cause that to end. [That will happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
5 त्यसैले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा खडा भएका पुजारीहरू र सबै मानिसको सामु यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले हनन्याह अगमवक्तासित बोले ।
I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
6 यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले भने, “परमप्रभुले यसै गरून्! तिमीले अगमवाणी बोलेका वचनहरू परमप्रभुले पुरा गरून्, अनि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका सबै सामान र सबै बन्दीलाई बेबिलोनबाट यस ठाउँमा फर्काएर ल्याऊन् ।
I said, “(Amen/May that happen)! I desire/hope that what you have predicted will happen. I hope/desire that Yahweh will do everything that you have said! I hope/desire that he will cause [men from Babylon] to bring back from Babylon [all] the valuable things that were in this temple, and all the people who were taken [to Babylon].
7 तापनि तिमीले सुन्ने गरी अनि सबै मानिसले सुन्ने गरी मैले घोषणा गरेको वचनलाई सुन ।
But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
8 तिमी र मभन्दा धेरै पहिलेका अगमवक्ताहरूले पनि धेरै जातिहरू, महान् राज्यहरू, युद्ध, अनिकाल र विपत्तिको विषयमा अगमवाणी बोले ।
Many years ago, those who were prophets before you and I [became prophets] spoke messages about many nations and great kingdoms. They predicted/prophesied that wars and disasters and plagues/diseases would occur in those nations.
9 त्यसैले शान्ति हुनेछ भनी अगमवाणी बोल्ने अगमवक्ताले भनेको वचन पुरा भयो भने, त्यो वास्तवमै परमप्रभुद्वारा पठाइएको अगमवक्ता रहेछ भनी थाहा हुनेछ ।”
[So now you or] any other prophet who predicts that things will go well [for us must show that your message is correct. Only] if what you predict actually happens will we know that you were truly appointed by Yahweh.”
10 तर हनन्याह अगमवक्ताले यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको काँधबाट जुवा निकाले र त्यसलाई भाँचिदिए ।
Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
11 तब हनन्याहले सबै मनिसका सामु बोले र यसो भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरद्वारा लादिएको जुवा म हरेक जातिको काँधबाट दुई वर्षभित्रमा यसै गरी भाँचिदिनेछु' ।” तब यर्मिया अगमवक्ता आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
Then he said this to all the people who were there: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Just like Hananiah has broken this yoke, within two years I will cause King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to [stop forcing the people to do what he wants, which has been like] a heavy yoke on all their necks [MET].’” After Hananiah said that, I left the temple area.
12 हनन्याह अगमवक्ताले यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको काँधबाट जुवा निकालेर भाँचेपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
[Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
13 “जा र हनन्याहसित बोल र यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः तैंले त काठको जुवा भाँचिस्, तर यसको साटो म फलामको जुवा बनाउनेछु ।'
“Go and say this to Hananiah: ‘Yahweh says that you have broken a wooden yoke, but that he will replace it with an iron yoke.
14 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको सेवा गर्नलाई मैले यी सबै जातिको काँधमा फलामको जुवा राखेको छु, र तिनीहरूले उसको सेवा गर्नेछन् । शासन गर्नलाई मैले उसलाई जङ्गलका वन्यजन्तुहरू पनि दिएको छु' ।”
I have forced the people of all these nations to [become slaves of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. That is [like] [MET] an iron yoke around their necks. I have put everything, even wild animals, under his control.’”
15 अनि यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले हनन्याह अगमवक्तालाई भने, “हे हनन्याह, सुन, परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई पठाउनुभएको होइन, तर तिमी आफैले यी मानिसलाई झूटो कुरामा विश्वास गर्न लगाएका छौ ।
Then I [went to] Hananiah and said to him, “Hananiah, listen [to this]: Yahweh has not appointed you; instead, [you have told] lies to the people, and they have believed your lies.
16 त्यसैले परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, तँलाई मैले पृथ्वीबाट हटाउनै लागेको छु । तैंले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोही कुराको घोषणा गरेको हुनाले तँ यही वर्ष मर्नेछस्' ।”
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: ‘You will [soon] die. Before the end of this year, you will die, because you have rebelled against Yahweh.’”
17 त्यही वर्षको सातौँ महिनामा हनन्याह अगमवक्ता मरे ।
Hananiah died two months later.
