यर्मिया 37
1 यहोयाकीमका छोरा यहोयाकीनको सट्टामा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहले राजा भएर राज्य गरे । बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले सिदकियाहलाई यहूदा देशका राजा बनाएका थिए ।
Now King Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, reigned instead of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.
2 तर सिदकियाह, तिनका सेवकहरू र देशका मानिसले यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको उहाँको वचनलाई सुनेनन् ।
But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land regarded the words of Jehovah, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
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 sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Pray now to Jehovah our God for us.”
4 यस बेला यर्मिया मानिसहरूकहाँ आउने र जाने गर्थे, किनकि तिनलाई अझै पनि थुनामा राखिएको थिएन ।
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not cast him into prison.
5 फारोको सेना मिश्रदेशबाट आयो, र यरूशलेमलाई घेराबन्दी गर्ने कल्दीहरूले तिनीहरूका बारेमा खबर सुने र यरूशलेम छाडे ।
And Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and the Chaldaeans, who were besieging Jerusalem, having heard tidings of them, had departed from Jerusalem.
6 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मिया अगमवक्ताकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
Then came the word of Jehovah 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 saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold, the army of Pharaoh, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt, into their own land.
8 कल्दीहरू फर्केर आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले यस सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नेछन्, यसलाई कब्जा गर्नेछन्, र जलाउनेछन् ।'
And the Chaldaeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
9 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यसो भनेर आफैलाई धोका नदिनुहोस्, 'निश्चय पनि कल्दीहरूले हामीलाई छाडेर जाँदैछन्,' किनकि तिनीहरू छोड्नेछैनन् ।
Thus saith Jehovah: Deceive not yourselves, saying, “The Chaldaeans shall surely depart from us”; for they shall not depart.
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 ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldaeans that fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, each one in his tent, yet should they rise up and burn this city with fire.
11 त्यसैले फारोको सेना आउँदै गर्दा कल्दीको सेनाले यरूशलेम छाड्यो,
And it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldaeans had marched away from Jerusalem because of the army of Pharaoh,
12 तब यर्मिया यरूशलेमबाट प्रस्थान गरेर बेन्यामीनको इलाकामा गए । त्यहाँ तिनले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका बिचमा आफ्नो जग्गाको अंश लिन चाहन्थे ।
that Jeremiah was going forth from Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive thence his inheritance among 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 when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Thou art going over to the Chaldaeans.”
14 तर यर्मियाले भने, “त्यो साँचो होइन । म कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर जानेछैन ।” तर यिरियाहले तिनको कुरा सुनेनन् । तिनले यर्मियालाई समाते र अधिकारीहरूकहाँ लगे ।
And Jeremiah said, “It is false; I am not going over to the Chaldaeans.” But he hearkened not to him; so Irijah took Jeremiah and brought him to the princes.
15 अधिकारीहरू यर्मियासित रिसाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई कुटे र थुनामा हाले जुन सचिव जोनाथनको घर थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूले यसलाई झ्यालखानामा परिणत गरेका थिए ।
And the princes were enraged against Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that a prison.
16 यसरी यर्मियालाई झ्यालखानाको कालकोठरीमा हालियो, जहाँ तिनी धेरै दिनसम्म रहे ।
And when Jeremiah had gone into the dungeon, and into the cells, and had remained there a long time,
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 ।”
then Zedekiah the king sent and took him out; and the king asked him in his house privately, and said, “Hast thou any word from Jehovah?” And Jeremiah said, “I have.” And he said, “Into the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be delivered.”
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 said to King Zedekiah, What offence have I committed against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
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 shall not come against you, nor 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 ।”
But now hear, I pray thee, my lord the king! let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee, and cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I 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 ।
Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city should be consumed. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
