यर्मिया 37
1 यहोयाकीमका छोरा यहोयाकीनको सट्टामा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहले राजा भएर राज्य गरे । बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले सिदकियाहलाई यहूदा देशका राजा बनाएका थिए ।
And King Zedekiah son of Josiah reigns instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had caused to reign in the land of Judah,
2 तर सिदकियाह, तिनका सेवकहरू र देशका मानिसले यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको उहाँको वचनलाई सुनेनन् ।
and he has not listened—he, and his servants, and the people of the land—to the words of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
3 त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाह, शेलेम्याहका छोरा यहूकल र मासेयाहका छोरा सपन्याह पुजारीले यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए । तिनीहरूले यसो भने, “हाम्रा निम्ति परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गर ।”
And Zedekiah the king sends Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Pray, we implore you, for us to our God YHWH.”
4 यस बेला यर्मिया मानिसहरूकहाँ आउने र जाने गर्थे, किनकि तिनलाई अझै पनि थुनामा राखिएको थिएन ।
And Jeremiah is coming in and going out in the midst of the people (and they have not put him in the prison-house),
5 फारोको सेना मिश्रदेशबाट आयो, र यरूशलेमलाई घेराबन्दी गर्ने कल्दीहरूले तिनीहरूका बारेमा खबर सुने र यरूशलेम छाडे ।
and the force of Pharaoh has come out of Egypt, and the Chaldeans who are laying siege against Jerusalem hear their report, and go up from off Jerusalem.
6 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मिया अगमवक्ताकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
7 “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यहूदाका राजाले मबाट सल्लाह लिन तँकहाँ मानिसहरू पठाएको हुनाले तैंले उसलाई यसो भन्नेछस्, 'हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंलाई मदत गर्न आएको फारोको सेना आफ्नै देश, मिश्रदेशमा फर्केर जानै लागेको छ ।
“Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Thus you say to the king of Judah who is sending you to Me, to seek Me: Behold, the force of Pharaoh that is coming out to you for help has turned back to its land, to Egypt,
8 कल्दीहरू फर्केर आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले यस सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नेछन्, यसलाई कब्जा गर्नेछन्, र जलाउनेछन् ।'
and the Chaldeans have turned back and fought against this city, and captured it, and burned it with fire.
9 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यसो भनेर आफैलाई धोका नदिनुहोस्, 'निश्चय पनि कल्दीहरूले हामीलाई छाडेर जाँदैछन्,' किनकि तिनीहरू छोड्नेछैनन् ।
Thus said YHWH: Do not lift up your souls, saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;
10 तपाईंको विरुद्धमा लड्ने सम्पूर्ण कल्दी सेनालाई तपाईंले जितेको, जसले गर्दा पालहरूमा घाइते मानिसहरू मात्र छाडिएको भए पनि तिनीहरू उठ्नेछन् र यस सहरलाई जलाउनेछन् ।”
for though you had struck all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded men—they rise, each in his tent, and have burned this city with fire.”
11 त्यसैले फारोको सेना आउँदै गर्दा कल्दीको सेनाले यरूशलेम छाड्यो,
And it has come to pass, in the going up of the force of the Chaldeans from off Jerusalem, because of the force of Pharaoh,
12 तब यर्मिया यरूशलेमबाट प्रस्थान गरेर बेन्यामीनको इलाकामा गए । त्यहाँ तिनले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका बिचमा आफ्नो जग्गाको अंश लिन चाहन्थे ।
that Jeremiah goes out from Jerusalem to go [to] the land of Benjamin, to receive a portion there in the midst of the people.
13 जसै तिनी बेन्यामीनको मूल ढोकामा पुगे, त्यहाँ मुख्य पहरेदार थिए । तिनको नाउँ यिरियाह थियो, जो हनन्याहका नाति, शेलेम्याहका छोरा थिए । तिनले यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई समाते र भने, “तिमी कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर जाँदैछौ ।”
And it comes to pass, he is at the Gate of Benjamin, and there [is] a master of the ward, and his name is Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah; and he catches Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
14 तर यर्मियाले भने, “त्यो साँचो होइन । म कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर जानेछैन ।” तर यिरियाहले तिनको कुरा सुनेनन् । तिनले यर्मियालाई समाते र अधिकारीहरूकहाँ लगे ।
And Jeremiah says, “Falsehood! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans”; and he has not listened to him, and Irijah lays hold on Jeremiah, and brings him to the heads,
15 अधिकारीहरू यर्मियासित रिसाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई कुटे र थुनामा हाले जुन सचिव जोनाथनको घर थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूले यसलाई झ्यालखानामा परिणत गरेका थिए ।
and the heads are angry against Jeremiah, and have struck him, and put him in the prison-house—the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had made it for a prison-house.
16 यसरी यर्मियालाई झ्यालखानाको कालकोठरीमा हालियो, जहाँ तिनी धेरै दिनसम्म रहे ।
When Jeremiah has entered into the house of the dungeon, and to the cells, then Jeremiah dwells there many days,
17 तब राजा सिदकियाहले कसैलाई पठाए जसले तिनलाई दरबारमा ल्याए । आफ्नो महलमा राजाले तिनलाई गुप्तमा सोधे, “के परमप्रभुबाट कुनै वचन आएको छ?” यर्मियाले जवाफ दिए, “वचन छः तपाईंलाई बेबिलोनका राजाको हातमा दिइनेछ ।”
and King Zedekiah sends, and takes him, and the king asks him in his house in secret, and says, “Is there a word from YHWH?” And Jeremiah says, “There is,” and he says, “You are given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18 तब यर्मियाले सिदकियाह राजालाई भने, “तपाईं, तपाईंका सेवकहरू र यी मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा मैले कसरी पाप गरें जसको कारण तपाईंले मलाई झ्यालखानामा हाल्नुभयो?
And Jeremiah says to King Zedekiah, “What have I sinned against you, and against your servants, and against this people, that you have put me into a prison-house?
19 तपाईंका ती अगमवक्ताहरू कहाँ छन् जसले तपाईंको निम्ति अगमवाणी बोले र यसो भने, कि बेबिलोनका राजा तपाईं र यस देशको विरुद्धमा आउनेछैनन्?
And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon does not come in against you, and against this land?
20 तर हे मेरा मालिक राजा, अब सुन्नुहोस् । मेरा बिन्ती हजुरको सामु राख्न दिनुहोस् । मलाई सचिव जोनाथनको घरमा नफर्काउनुहोस्, नत्रता म त्यहीँ मर्नेछु ।”
And now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my supplication fall before you, and do not cause me to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I do not die there.”
21 त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाहले एउटा हुकुम दिए । तिनका अधिकारीहरूले यर्मियालाई गारदको चोकमा थुने । सहरमा सबै रोटी नसकुञ्जेलसम्म तिनलाई हरेक दिन एउटा रोटी दिइन्थ्यो । यसरी यर्मिया गारदको चोकमा रहे ।
And King Zedekiah commands, and they commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, also to give a cake of bread to him daily from the bakers’ street, until the consumption of all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
