यर्मिया 35
1 यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको शासनकालमा यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर परमप्रभुको वचन आयो,
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, 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 to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the LORD’s house, into one of the rooms, and give 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 Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, with his brothers, 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 LORD’s house, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 तब मैले रेकाबीहरूका सामु दाखमद्यले भरिएका कचौरा र गिलासहरू राखिदिएँ, र तिनीहरूलाई भनें, “अलिकति दाखमद्य पिओ ।”
I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to 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 drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, neither you nor your children, forever.
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 ।'
You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, or have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, that you may live many days in the land in which you live as nomads.’
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 obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
9 बस्नको लागि हामी कहिल्यै घरहरू बनाउनेछैनौं, र हाम्रो सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दाखबारी, जग्गाजमिन वा बीउ हुनेछैन ।
and not to build houses for ourselves to dwell in. We have no vineyard, field, or seed;
10 हामी पालमा बसेका छौं, र हाम्रा पुर्खा योनादाबले हामीलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा हामीले पालन गरेका छौं ।
but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to 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 when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, we said, ‘Come! Let’s go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we will dwell at Jerusalem.’”
12 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
Then the LORD’s word came to 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 ।
“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says 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 ।
“The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment; but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and you have not listened to 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 ।
I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them. Then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers;’ but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
16 रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबका सन्तानहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका आज्ञा मानेका छन्, तर यी मानिसले मेरो कुरा सुन्न इन्कार गर्छन् ।'”
The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to 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 the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’”
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—
Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,’
19 त्यसैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबको वंशमा मेरो सेवा गर्न सधैं कोही न कोही हुनेछ' ।”
therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’”
