यर्मिया 38
1 मत्तानका छोरा शपत्याह, पशहूरका छोरा गदल्याह, शेलेम्याहका छोरा यहूकल र मल्कियाहका छोरा पशहूरले यर्मियाले सबै मानिसलाई घोषणा गरिरहेका यी वचन सुने । तिनले भन्दै थिए,
And Shephatyah the son of Matthan, and Gedalyahu the son of Pashchur, and Juchal the son of Shelemyahu, and Pashchur the son of Malkiyah, heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking unto all the people, saying,
2 “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यस सहरमा बस्ने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति तरवार, अनिकाल र विपत्तिले मारिनेछ । तर निस्केर कल्दीहरूकहाँ जाने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति बाँच्नेछ । त्यसले आफ्नो प्राण बचाउनेछ, र जिउनेछ ।
Thus hath said the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; and he shall have his life as a booty, and shall live.
3 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यो सहर बेबिलोनका राजाको सेनाको हातमा दिइनेछ, र उसले यसलाई कब्जा गर्नेछ ।”
Thus hath said the Lord, This city shall surely be given up into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
4 त्यसैले अधिकारीहरूले राजालाई भने, “यो मान्छे मरोस्, किनकि यसरी यो मानिसले यस सहरमा बाँकी रहेका योद्धाहरू र सबै मानिसको हातलाई कमजोर पार्दै छ । त्यसले यी वचनहरू घोषणा गर्दैछ, किनकि मानिसहरूको सुरक्षाको लागि उसले केही गरिरहेको छैन, तर विपत्तिको घोषणा गर्दैछ ।”
Thereupon said the princes unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death; for the cause that he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that are yet left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but their hurt.
5 त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाहले भने, “तिमीहरूको विरोध गर्न कुनै राजाले पनि नसक्ने हुनाले ऊ तिमीहरूकै हातमा छ ।”
Then said king Zedekiah, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not able to do any thing against you.
6 तब तिनीहरूले यर्मियालाई लगे, र राजकुमार मल्कियाहको इनारमा फालिदिए । यो इनार गारदको चोकमा थियो । तिनीहरूले यर्मियालाई डोरीद्वारा तल झारे । इनारमा पानी थिएन, तर त्यसमा दलदले हिलो थियो, र तिनी हिलोमा गाडिए ।
Then did they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malkiyahu the son of the king, that was in the court of the prison: and they let Jeremiah down with cords; but in the pit there was no water, but mire; so that Jeremiah sunk into the mire.
7 राजदरबारमा भएका नपुंसकमध्ये कूशी एबेद-मेलेक एक जना थिए । तिनीहरूले यर्मियालाई इनारमा राखे भनी तिनले सुने । त्यस बेला राजा बेन्यामीनको मूल ढोकामा बसिरहेका थिए ।
Now when 'Ebed-melech the Cushi, a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had placed Jeremiah into the pit; while the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin:
8 त्यसैले एबेद-मेलेक राजदरबाट गए र राजासित बात गरे । तिनले भने,
'Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
9 “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, यी मानिसहरूले यर्मिया अगमवक्तासँग जसरी व्यवहार गरे त्यो दुष्ट काम हो । सहरमा खानलाई अब कुनै कुरा नभएको हुनाले भोकले मर्नलाई तिनीहरूले तिनलाई इनारमा हाले ।”
My lord, O king, these men have done wrong in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit; and he would have had to die [as it is] in the place where he was for hunger; for there is no more bread in the city.
10 तब राजाले कूशी एबेद-मेलेकलाई हुकुम गरे । तिनले भने, “यहाँबाट तिस जना मानिस साथमा लिएर जाऊ र यर्मिया अगमवक्ता मर्नुअगि तिनलाई इनारबाट निकाल ।”
The king then commanded 'Ebed-melech the Cushi, saying, Take with thee from here thirty men, and bring up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.
11 त्यसैले एबेद-मेलेकले ती मानिसहरूलाई लिए र राजदरबारको एउटा भण्डर कोठामा गए । त्यहाँबाट तिनले थोत्रा र फाटेका कपडाहरू निकाले, र त्यसपछि तिनले इनारमा यर्मियाको लागि डोरीले बाँधेर ती झारिदिए ।
So 'Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence cast-off clothes and old rags, and let them down into the pit to Jeremiah by cords.
12 कूशी एबेद-मेलेकले यर्मियालाई भने, “तिम्रा पाखुरा र डोरीहरूको माथिपट्टि यी थोत्रा र फाटेका लुगाहरू लगाऊ ।” यर्मियाले त्यसै गरे ।
And Ebed-melech the Cushi said unto Jeremiah, Put, I pray, these cast-off clothes and old rags under thy arm-pits beneath the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
13 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले यर्मियालाई डोरीको सहायताले ताने । यसरी तिनीहरूले तिनलाई इनारबाट बाहिर निकाले । यसरी यर्मिया गारदको चोकमा बसे ।
So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and brought him up out of the pit: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
14 तब राजा सिदकियाहले खबर पठाए र यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई आफूकहाँ परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको तेस्रो प्रवेशद्वारमा ल्याए । राजाले यर्मियालाई भने, “म तिमीलाई केही कुरो सोध्न चाहन्छु । मबाट जवाफ नलुकाऊ ।”
Then sent king Zedekiah, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that was in the house of the Lord; and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee something: conceal nothing from me.
15 यर्मियाले सिदकियाहलाई भने, “मैले तपाईंलाई जवाफ दिएँ भने, के तपाईंले मलाई साँच्चै नै मार्नुहुन्न त?” तर मैले तपाईंलाई सल्लाह दिएँ भने तपाईंले सुन्नुहुनेछैन ।”
Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, If I should tell it unto thee, behold, thou wilt surely put me to death; and if I should give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.
16 तर राजा सिदकियाहले यर्मियासित गुप्तमा वाचा बाँधे र भने, “हामीलाई बनाउनुहुने जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर भन्दछु, कि म तिमीलाई मार्नेछैनँ वा तिम्रो ज्यान लिन खोज्नेहरूको हातमा सुम्पिदिनेछैनँ ।”
So king Zedekiah swore unto Jeremiah secretly, saying, As the Lord liveth, who hath made for us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I give thee up into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
17 त्यसैले यर्मियाले सिदकियाहलाई भने, “परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर, इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः तँ वास्तवमै बेबिलोनका राजाका अधिकारीहरूकहाँ गइस् भने, तँ बाँच्नेछस्, र यो सहर जलाइनेछैन । तँ र तेरो परिवार बाँच्नेछन् ।
Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If thou wilt indeed go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thy soul live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire; and thou shalt live, thou with thy household;
18 तर तँ बेबिलोनका राजाका अधिकारीहरूकहाँ गइनस् भने, यो सहरलाई कल्दीहरूको हातमा दिइनेछ । तिनीहरूले यसलाई आगो लगाउनेछन्, र तँ तिनीहरूको हातबाट उम्कनेछैनस् ।”
But if thou wilt not go forth to the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand.
19 सिदकियाह राजाले यर्मियालाई भने, “तर कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर गएका यहूदाका मानिसहरूदेखि म डराएको छु, किनकि ममाथि खराब व्यवहार गर्नलाई मलाई तिनीहरूको हातमा सुम्पिएला ।”
Then said king Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, I am in dread of the Jews that have run away to the Chaldeans, lest these deliver me into their hand, and they might ill-use me.
20 यर्मियाले भने, “तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई उनीहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनेछैनन् । परमप्रभुबाट आएको सन्देशलाई मान्नुहोस्, जुन मैले तपाईंलाई बताउँदैछु जसले गर्दा तपाईंको भलो हुनेछ, र जसले गर्दा तपाईं बाँच्नुहुनेछ ।
But Jeremiah said, They will not give [thee] up. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, in that which I speak unto thee; so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
21 तर जान तपाईंले इन्कार गर्नुभयो भने त परमप्रभुले मलाई देखाउनुभएको कुरो यही हो ।
But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath shown me:
22 हेर्नुहोस्, यहूदाका राजा अर्थात् तपाईंको महलमा छाडिएका सबै स्त्रीहरूलाई बेबिलोनका राजाका अधिकारीहरूकहाँ लगिनेछ । यी स्त्रीहरूले तपाईंलाई भन्नेछन्, 'तपाईंका मित्रहरूद्वारा तपाईं छलमा पर्नुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई नष्ट पारेका छन् । अब तपाईंका खुट्टा हिलोमा डुबेका छन्, र तपाईंका मित्रहरू भाग्नेछन् ।'
And behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah shall be led forth to the princes of the king of Babylon; and these women shall say, “They have enticed, and have overpersuaded thee—thy men that should have sought thy welfare; thy feet are [now] sunk in the mire, and they have withdrawn themselves backward.”
23 किनकि तपाईंका सबै पत्नी र छोराछोरी कल्दीहरूकहाँ लगिनेछन्, र तपाईं आफै पनि तिनीहरूको हातबाट उम्कनुहुनेछैन । तपाईं बेबिलोनका राजाको हातबाट पक्राउ पर्नुहुनेछ, र यो सहरलाई जलाइनेछ ।”
And all thy wives and thy children shall they bring out to the Chaldeans; and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand; for by the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be caught; and this city wilt thou cause to be burnt with fire.
24 तब सिदकियाहले यर्मियालाई भने, “यी वचनको विषयमा कसैलाई नभन, जसले गर्दा तिमी मारिनेछैनौ ।
Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, that thou mayest not die.
25 मैले तिमीसित कुराकानी गरेको कुरा अधिकारीहरूले सुने र तिमीकहाँ आएर यसो भन्छन् भने, 'तिमीले राजालाई के भन्यौ, सो हामीलाई बताऊ, र हामीबाट त्यो नलुकाऊ, नत्र तिमीलाई हामी मर्नेछौ,'
And if the princes should hear that I have spoken with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, tell us, we pray thee, what thou hast spoken unto the king, conceal it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king hath spoken unto thee:
26 तब तिमीले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्नू, 'राजाले मलाई जोनाथनको घरमा मर्नलाई नपठाऊन् भनी मैले राजाको सामु विनम्र बिन्ती चढाएँ' ।”
Then shalt thou say unto them, I presented my humble supplication before the king, that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.
27 तब सबै अधिकारी यर्मियाकहाँ आए र तिनलाई प्रश्न गरे, यसैले राजाले तिनलाई निर्देशन दिएअनुसार तिनले उनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए । उनीहरूले यर्मिया र राजाको बिचमा भएको बातचितलाई नसुनेका हुनाले उनीहरूले तिनीसित थप कुराकानी गरेनन् ।
And all the princes came unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them in accordance with all these words that the king had commanded. And they turned away silent from him; for the matter had not been made public.
28 यसरी यरूशलेम कब्जा नभएसम्म यर्मिया गारदको चोकमा नै बसे ।
And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass when Jerusalem was captured,
