यर्मिया 34

1 बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर र तिनका सबै सेना, तिनको अधीनका पृथ्वीमा भएका सबै राज्य र तिनमा भएका सबै मानिसले यरूशलेम र यसका सबै सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध सुरु गर्दा यर्मियाकहाँ परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर आयोः

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his entire army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under the authority of his hand, and all the people were making war against Jerusalem and against all of its cities, saying:

2 “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः जा र यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहसँग बोल र यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः हेर्, मैले यो सहरलाई बेबिलोनका राजाको हातमा दिनै लागेको छु । उसले यसलाई जलाउनेछ ।

“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.

3 तँ उसको हातबाट उम्कनेछैनस्, किनकि तँ निश्‍चय नै समातिनेछस् र उसको हातमा दिइनेछ । तेरा आँखाले बेबिलोनका राजाको आँखालाई हेर्नेछन् । तँ बेबिलोनमा जाँदा उसले तँसित सिधै कुरा गर्नेछ ।'

And you will not escape from his hand. Instead, you will be overtaken and captured, and you will be delivered into his hand. And your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth will speak with your mouth, and you will enter into Babylon.

4 ए यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाह, परमप्रभुको यो वचन सुन् । तेरो विषयमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तँ तरवारले मारिनेछैनस् ।

Even so, listen to the word of the Lord, Zedekiah, king of Judah: Thus says the Lord to you: You will not die by the sword.

5 तँ शान्तिमा मर्नेछस् । तेरा पुर्खाहरू अर्थात् तँभन्दा अगिका राजाहरूको मृत्यु संस्कारमा भएजस्तै तिनीहरूले तेरो लाश जलाउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले भन्‍नेछन्, 'हाय मालिक!' तिनीहरूले तेरो निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछन् । मैल यो कुरा भनेको छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”

Instead, you will die in peace. And, in accord with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so will they burn you. And they will mourn you, saying: ‘Alas, lord!’ For I have spoken the word, says the Lord.”

6 तब यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले यरूशलेममा यी सबै वचन यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहलाई घोषणा गरे ।

And Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke all these words to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in Jerusalem.

7 बेबिलोनका राजाका सेनाले यरूशलेम र यहूदाका बाँकी रहेका सबै सहरः लाकीश र आजेकाको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे । यहूदाका यी सहर किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरको रूपमा बाँकी रहेका थिए ।

And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that remained, against Lachish and against Azekah. For only these remained out of the cities of Judah that were fortified cities.

8 राजा सिदकियाहले यरूशलेमका सबै मानिससित तिनीहरूको छुटकाराको घोषणा गर्ने करार बाँधेपछि यर्मियाकहाँ परमप्रभुको यो वचन आयो,

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had struck a pact with all the people in Jerusalem, proclaiming

9 हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्ना हिब्रू कमारा-कमारीलाई फुक्‍का गर्नुपर्छ । कसैले पनि आफ्नो यहूदी दाजुभाइलाई कमारा राख्‍नुहुँदैनथ्यो ।

that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, as a free Hebrew man and a free Hebrew woman, and that they should never be rulers over them, that is, over the Jews, their own brothers.

10 त्यसैले सबै अगुवा र मानिसहरू यस करारमा संलग्‍न भए, जसमा तिनीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्ना कमारा-कमारी फुक्‍का गर्नुपर्थ्यो, जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू फेरि कमारा हुनेछैनन् । तिनीहरूले पालन गरे र तिनीहरूलाई फुक्‍का गरे ।

Then all the leaders and all the people who entered into the pact, heard that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, to be free, and that they should no longer rule over them. Therefore, they listened, and they released them.

11 तर यसपछि तिनीहरूले आफ्नो मन बद्ले । तिनीहरूले फुक्‍का गरिदिएका कमारा-कमारीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याए, र तिनीहरूलाई फेरि कमारा-कमारी हुन जबरदस्ती गरे ।

But later on, they turned back. And they took back again their man servants and their woman servants, whom they had released to be free. And they subjugated them as male and female servants.

12 त्यसैले परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

13 “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्रदेश अर्थात् दासत्वको देशबाट निकालेर ल्याएको दिनमा म आफैले तिनीहरूसित एउटा करार बाँधें । त्‍यसति बेला मैले भनेको थिएँ,

“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I struck a pact with your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude, saying:

14 'प्रत्येक सात वर्षको अन्त्यमा हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो हिब्रू दाजुभाइलाई मुक्त गरिदिनू, जसले आफैलाई तँकहाँ बेचेको छ र छ वर्षसम्म तेरो सेवा गरेको छ । त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र गराएर पठाउनू ।' तर तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेनन् वा मेरा कुरा सुन्‍नमा आफ्‍ना ध्यान लगानन् ।

‘When seven years have been completed, let each one release his brother, a Hebrew, who had been sold to him. And so he will serve you for six years, and then you shall release him to be free from you.’ But your fathers did not listen to me, nor did they incline their ear.

15 तर तिमीहरू आफैले चाहिं पश्‍चात्ताप गरेका र मेरो दृष्‍टिमा जे ठिक छ, सो गर्न थालेका छौ । तिमीहरू हरेकले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई स्वतन्त्रताको घोषणा गर्‍यौ, र मेरो नाउँद्वारा कहलाइने मन्दिरमा तिमीहरूले मेरो सामु करार बाँध्यौ ।

And today you converted, and you did what is right in my eyes, so that you proclaimed liberty, each one to his friend. And you entered into a pact in my sight, in the house in which and over which my name is invoked.

16 तर तिमीहरू तर्केर गयौ र मेरो नाउँलाई दुषित पार्‍यौ । तिमीहरूले हरेक मानिसलाई आ-आफ्ना कमारा-कमारी तिनीहरूका आफ्‍ना इच्‍छाले जहाँ गएका थिए त्‍यहाँबाट तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले फिर्ता ल्याउन लगायौ । तिमीहरूले फेरि तिनीहरूलाई जबरदस्ती आफ्‍ना कमारा तुल्यायौ ।'

But now you have turned back, and you have stained my name. For you have led back again, each one his man servant, and each one his woman servant, whom you had released so that they would be free and under their own authority. And you have subjugated them, so that they would be your servants and handmaids.”

17 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरू आफूले पनि मेरो कुरा सुनेका छैनौ । तिमीहरू हरेकले आफ्ना दाजुभाइ र इस्राएली बन्‍धुलाई स्वतन्त्रताको घोषणा गर्नुपर्थ्यो । त्यसैले हेर्, अब मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति स्वतन्त्रताको घोषणा गर्नै लागेको छु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । तिमीहरूलाई तरवार, विपत्ति र अनिकालबाट मर्ने स्वतन्त्रताको घोषणा गर्दैछु, किनकि म तिमीहरूलाई पृथ्वीका हरेक राज्यको दृष्‍टिमा घिनलाग्दो पात्र बनाउनेछु ।

Because of this, thus says the Lord: “You have not heeded me, though you proclaimed liberty, each one to his brother and each one to his friend. Behold, I am proclaiming a liberty for you, says the Lord, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine. And I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.

18 त्यसपछि मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेका मानिसहरू, मेरो सामु गरेका करारका वचन पुरा नगर्ने ती मानिसहरूसँग म त्यही साँढेसित गरेजस्तै व्यवहार गर्नेछु, जसलाई तिनीहरूले दुई फ्याक पारे र त्यसको बिचबाट हिंडे,

And I will give over the men who have betrayed my covenant, and who have not observed the words of the covenant, to which they assented in my sight when they cut the calf into two parts and passed between its parts:

19 र यहूदा र यरूशलेमका अगुवाहरू, नपुंसकहरू र पुजारीहरू अनि देशका सबै मानिस त्यही दुई फ्याक गरिएको साँढेको बिचबाट हिंडे ।

the leaders of Judah, and the leaders of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf.

20 म तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरू र तिनीहरूको ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूका हातमा दिनेछु । तिनीहरूका लाश आकाशका चराहरू र जमिनका पशुहरूका लागि आहारा हुनेछन् ।

And I will give them into the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who are seeking their life. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.

21 म यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाह र त्यसका अगुवाहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका हातमा, र तिनीहरूको ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूका हातमा र तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा खडा भएका बेबिलोनका राजाका सेनाको हातमा दिनेछु ।

And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his leaders, I will give over to the hands of their enemies, and to the hands of those who are seeking their lives, and to the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which had withdrawn from you.

22 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, हेर् मैले एउटा आज्ञा दिनै लागेको छु, र यस सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न र यसलाई कब्‍जा गर्न र यसलाई जलाउनलाई म तिनीहरूलाई यहाँ फर्काएर ल्याउन लागेको छु । किनकि म यहूदाका सहरहरूलाई भग्‍नावशेषको ठाउँ बनाउनेछु, जसमा बासिन्‍दाहरू हुनेछैनन् ।”

Behold, I will command, says the Lord, and I will lead them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and seize it, and set it on fire. And I will make the cities of Judah into a desolation, for there shall be no inhabitant.”
