< यर्मिया 35 >

1 यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको शासनकालमा यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर परमप्रभुको वचन आयो,
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, [in] the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying,
2 “रेकाबीका परिवारहरूकहाँ जा र तिनीहरूसित बात गर् । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूलाई मेरो मन्दिरमा लिएर आइज, त्‍यहाँको एउटा कोठामा राख, र तिनहरूलाई दाखमद्य पिउन दे ।”
Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, 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 ।
Then I took Yaazanyah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Chabazzinyah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
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 ।
And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Chanan, the son of Yigdalyahu, the man of God, which was alongside of the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Ma'aseyahu the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5 तब मैले रेकाबीहरूका सामु दाखमद्यले भरिएका कचौरा र गिलासहरू राखिदिएँ, र तिनीहरूलाई भनें, “अलिकति दाखमद्य पिओ ।”
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink wine.
6 तर तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी दाखमद्य पिउनेछैनौं, किनकि रेकाबका छोरा हाम्रा पुर्खा योनादाबले हामीलाई आज्ञा दिए, 'तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सन्तानले कहिल्यै पनि दाखमद्य नपिउनू ।’
But they said, We will not drink wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father hath laid a charge on us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever;
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 ।'
Nor shall ye build any house, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have [any such]; but in tents shall ye dwell all your days, in order that ye may live many days on the face of the land where ye may sojourn.
8 हामी, हाम्रा पत्‍नीहरू, हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरूले आफ्नो जीवनभरि कहिल्यै दाखमद्य पिउनुहुँदैन भन्‍ने हाम्रा पुर्खा रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबले हामीलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा हामीले मानेका छौं ।
And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jehonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, not to drink any wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;
9 बस्‍नको लागि हामी कहिल्यै घरहरू बनाउनेछैनौं, र हाम्रो सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दाखबारी, जग्गाजमिन वा बीउ हुनेछैन ।
And not to build houses for our dwelling: and we never had any vineyard, or field, or seed;
10 हामी पालमा बसेका छौं, र हाम्रा पुर्खा योनादाबले हामीलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा हामीले पालन गरेका छौं ।
But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done in accordance with all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
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 ।”
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of the Syrians; and so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
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 ।
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.
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 ।
Fulfilled are the words of Jehonadab the son of Rechab, that he hath commanded his sons not to drink wine: and they have not drunk any even unto this day; because they have obeyed the commandment of their father; but I, I have spoken unto you, early in the day and speaking; but ye have not hearkened unto 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 ।
And I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, making them rise up early and sending them, saying, Do but return every man from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and go not after other gods to serve them: and so shall ye remain in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, and have not hearkened unto me.
16 रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबका सन्तानहरूले आफ्‍ना पुर्खाले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका आज्ञा मानेका छन्, तर यी मानिसले मेरो कुरा सुन्‍न इन्कार गर्छन् ।'”
Because the sons of Jehonadab the son of Rechab have fulfilled the commandment of their father, which he hath commanded them; but as this people have not hearkened unto 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 ।'”
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken concerning them; because I spoke unto them, but they would not hear; and I called unto them, but they would not answer.
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—
And unto the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Whereas ye have hearkened to the charge of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and have done in accordance with all that he hath commanded you:
19 त्यसैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबको वंशमा मेरो सेवा गर्न सधैं कोही न कोही हुनेछ' ।”
Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not be wanting unto Jehonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me at all times.
