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 which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the nations, made war against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, 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 saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall 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 thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

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

Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah, king of Judah! Thus saith Jehovah concerning thee: Thou shalt 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 ।”

in peace shalt thou die; and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings, who were before thee, so shall they burn for thee; and they shall lament for thee, saying, “Ah, lord!” for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.

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

And Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words to Zedekiah, king of Judah, at 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 were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.

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

The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,

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

that every one should let his man-servant or his maid-servant, being a Hebrew or Hebrewess, go free, that no one should retain his brother, a Jew, in servitude.

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 ।

And all the princes, and all the people, who had entered into covenant to let every one his man-servant and every one his maid-servant go free, and retain them in servitude no longer, obeyed; they obeyed, and let them go.

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

But they returned afterwards, and took back the men-servants and the maid-servants whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as men-servants and as maid-servants.

12 त्यसैले परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,

Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah from Jehovah, 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 saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, and said,

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 ।

“At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother, a Hebrew, who shall have been sold to thee; when he shall have served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee.” But your fathers hearkened not to me, nor inclined 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 when ye had turned at this time, and had done what was right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his neighbor, and had entered into a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name,

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 ।'

then ye returned and profaned my name, and took back every one his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, and brought them into subjection to be men-servants and maid-servants to you.

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 ।

Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened to me in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine, and I will give you up to oppression in 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 make the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, like the calf which they cut in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,

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

the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that 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 ।

I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of heaven, 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, king of Judah, and his princes, will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, even into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up 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, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
