< यर्मिया 35 >
1 यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको शासनकालमा यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर परमप्रभुको वचन आयो,
This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord during the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
2 “रेकाबीका परिवारहरूकहाँ जा र तिनीहरूसित बात गर् । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूलाई मेरो मन्दिरमा लिएर आइज, त्यहाँको एउटा कोठामा राख, र तिनहरूलाई दाखमद्य पिउन दे ।”
Go to where the Rechabites live. Invite them to come with you to one of the rooms in the Lord's Temple and offer them wine to drink.
3 त्यसैले मैले यर्मियाका छोरा, हबसिन्याहका नाति याजन्याह र तिनका भाइहरू, तिनका सबै छोरा र रेकाबीहरूका सबै परिवारलाई ल्याएँ ।
So I went to visit Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the whole Rechabite family.
4 मैले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा परमेश्वरका मानिस यिग्दल्याहका छोरा हानानका छोराहरूको कोठामा लगेँ । यी कोठाहरू अगुवाहरूको कोठाको छेउमा थिए, जुन शल्लूमका छोरा मासेयाह द्वारपालको कोठाको मास्तिर थियो ।
Then I took them into the Lord's Temple, to a room used by the sons of Hanan, son of Igdaliah, a man of God. It was next to the one used by the officials, which was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, who was the Temple doorkeeper.
5 तब मैले रेकाबीहरूका सामु दाखमद्यले भरिएका कचौरा र गिलासहरू राखिदिएँ, र तिनीहरूलाई भनें, “अलिकति दाखमद्य पिओ ।”
I placed some jugs full of wine and some cups before the Rechabites and told them, “Have some wine to drink.”
6 तर तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी दाखमद्य पिउनेछैनौं, किनकि रेकाबका छोरा हाम्रा पुर्खा योनादाबले हामीलाई आज्ञा दिए, 'तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सन्तानले कहिल्यै पनि दाखमद्य नपिउनू ।’
“We don't drink wine,” they said, “because our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab gave us these orders: ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine.
7 साथै, कुनै घरहरू नबनाओ, बीउ नरोप वा दाखबारी नलगाओ । यो तिमीहरूका लागि होइन । किनकि आफ्नो जीवनभर तिमीहरू पालमा बस्नुपर्छ, ताकि तिमीहरू विदेशीहरूको रूपमा बसिरहेका देशमा धेरै दिन बाँच्न सक्नेछौ ।'
Don't ever build houses or sow crops or plant vineyards. You're not to do this. Instead, you are to always live in tents so that you may have long lives as you move from place to place in the country.’
8 हामी, हाम्रा पत्नीहरू, हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरूले आफ्नो जीवनभरि कहिल्यै दाखमद्य पिउनुहुँदैन भन्ने हाम्रा पुर्खा रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबले हामीलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा हामीले मानेका छौं ।
We have done exactly what our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab told us. None of us have ever drunk wine, and that includes our wives and our sons and daughters as well as us.
9 बस्नको लागि हामी कहिल्यै घरहरू बनाउनेछैनौं, र हाम्रो सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दाखबारी, जग्गाजमिन वा बीउ हुनेछैन ।
We haven't built houses to live in, and we haven't had any vineyards or fields or grown any crops.
10 हामी पालमा बसेका छौं, र हाम्रा पुर्खा योनादाबले हामीलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा हामीले पालन गरेका छौं ।
We've lived in tents and have obeyed our forefather Jonadab, following everything he ordered us to do.
11 तर जब बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले यस देशलाई आक्रमण गरे, तब हामीले भन्यौँ, 'आओ, कल्दी र अरामी सेनाबाट उम्कन हामी यरूशलेम जाऔं ।' त्यसैले हामी यरूशलेममा बसिरहेका छौं ।”
So when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the country we decided, ‘Come on, let's go into Jerusalem to be safe from the armies of the Chaldeans, Babylonians, and Arameans.’ That's why we've stayed in Jerusalem.”
12 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
Then a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
13 “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः जा र यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दालाई यसो भन्, 'के तिमीहरू सुधारलाई स्वीकार गर्दैनौ र मेरा वचन सुन्दैनौ? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem: Why don't you accept my instructions and obey what I tell you? the Lord asks.
14 दाखदमद्य नपिउनू भनेर रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई आज्ञाको रूपमा दिएको वचनलाई आजको दिनसम्म पालन गरिएको छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूको आज्ञा मानेका छन् । तर मेरो विषयमा म आफैंले तिमीहरूका लागि निरन्तर घोषणा गरिरहेको छु तर तिमीहरू मेरा कुरा सुन्दैनौ ।
The instructions of Jonadab son of Rechab have been followed. He ordered his descendants not to drink wine, and they have not drunk it to this day because they have obeyed their forefather's command. But I have told you what to do time and again, and yet you refuse to obey me!
15 मैले तिमीहरूकहाँ मेरा सबै दास, अगमवक्ताहरू पठाएँ । यसो भन्न मैले तिनीहरूलाई निरन्तर पठाएँ, 'हरेक मानिस आफ्नो दुष्ट चालबाट फर्कोस् र त्यसले असल कामहरू गरोस् । कोही पनि अरू देवताहरूको पछि लाग्ने र तिनीहरूको पुजा गर्ने काम नगरोस् । बरु, मैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको देशमा फर्केर आओ ।' तापनि तिमीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुन्दैनौ वा ध्यानै दिंदैनौ ।
Time and again I've sent you so many of my servants the prophets to tell you: Everyone, stop your evil ways and do what's right! Don't go following other gods and worshiping them. Live in the land that I gave you and your fathers. But you haven't paid attention or obeyed me.
16 रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबका सन्तानहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका आज्ञा मानेका छन्, तर यी मानिसले मेरो कुरा सुन्न इन्कार गर्छन् ।'”
These descendants of Jonadab son of Rechab have followed the command given to them by their forefather, but these people haven't obeyed me.
17 त्यसैले परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर, इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, यहूदा र यरूशलेममा बसोबास गर्ने हरेकमाथि मैले तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा घोषणा गरेका विपत्तीहरू ल्याउँदैछु, किनकि मैले तिनीहरूलाई बोलें, तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । मैले तिनीहरूलाई बोलाएँ, तर तिनीहरूले जवाफै दिएनन् ।'”
So this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch as I bring down on Judah and on all the people living in Jerusalem all the disasters I have threatened to do to them, because I have told them what to do but they haven't obeyed; I have appealed to them but they haven't responded.
18 यर्मियाले रेकाबीहरूको परिवारलाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खा योनादाबका आज्ञाहरू सुनेका छौ र ती सबै पालन गरेका छौ— उसले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै कुरा तिमीहरूले पालन गरेका छौ—
Then Jeremiah told the Rechabites: This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Because you have obeyed your forefather Jonadab's instructions and have followed his orders and have done everything he told you to do,
19 त्यसैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबको वंशमा मेरो सेवा गर्न सधैं कोही न कोही हुनेछ' ।”
this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Jonadab son of Rechab will always have someone who will be in my presence serving me.
