यर्मिया 40
1 रामामा राजाका अङ्गरक्षकका कप्तान नबूजरदानले यर्मियालाई मुक्त गरेपछि परमप्रभुबाट यर्मियाकहाँ यो वचन आयो । तिनले यर्मियालाई बेबिलोनमा निर्वासनमा लगिने यरूशलेम र यहूदाका सबै बन्दीका बिचमा साङ्लाले बाँधिएको भेट्टाए ।
This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah after Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had released him at Ramah Nebuzaradan had discovered Jeremiah bound in chains along with all the prisoners from Jerusalem and Judah who were being taken into exile in Babylon.
2 अङ्गरक्षकका कप्तानले यर्मियालाई लगे र भने, “परमप्रभु तिम्रा परमेश्वरले यस ठाउँको लागि यो विपत्तिको आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
When the commander of the guard found Jeremiah and he told him, “The Lord your God announced that disaster would come to this place,
3 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले नै यो विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँले भन्नुभएझैं उहाँले गर्नुभयो, किनकि तिमीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गर्यौ, र उहाँको कुरा मानेनौ । त्यसकारण यो विपत्ति तिमीहरूमाथि आइपरेको हो ।
and now the Lord has made it happen—he has done just what he said he would. This happened to you people because you sinned against the Lord and did not obey what he said.
4 तर अब हेर, तिम्रा हातमा भएका साङ्लाबाट मैले तिमीलाई आज मुक्त गरेको छु । तिम्रो दृष्टिमा मसितै बेबिलोन आउनु उचित हो भने आऊ, र म तिम्रो हेरचाह गर्नेछु । तर तिम्रो दृष्टिमा मसितै बेबिलोन आउनु उचित होइन भने, त्यसो नगर । तिम्रो सामु भएको सबै देशलाई हेर । तिम्रो दृष्टिमा जहाँ जान ठिक र उचित लाग्छ, त्यहीँ जाऊ ।”
But notice that now I'm removing the chains from your wrists and releasing you. If you want to come with me to Babylon then you can come, and I will look after you. But if you think it's a bad idea to come with me to Babylon, you don't have to go any farther. Look, you're free to go anywhere in the country. Go wherever is good for you—do what you think is right.”
5 यर्मियाले जवाफ नदिएपछि नबूजरदानले भने, “शापानका नाति, अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहकहाँ जाऊ, जसलाई बेबिलोनका राजाले यहूदाका सहरहरूको रेखदेख गर्ने जिम्मा दिएका छन् । मानिसहरूका बिचमा तिनीसँगै बस वा तिम्रो दृष्टिमा जहाँ जानु उचित लाग्छ, त्यहीँ जाऊ ।” राजाक अङ्गरक्षकका कप्तानले तिनलाई खाना र उपहार दिए, र त्यसपछि तिनलाई पठाए ।
Since Jeremiah didn't answer right away, Nebuzaradan went on, “Go back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan. He's been appointed as governor over Judah by the king of Babylon. You can stay with him with your people, or you can go anywhere you want.” The commander of the guard gave him a food allowance and some money and let him go.
6 त्यसैले यर्मिया मिस्पामा अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहकहाँ गए । तिनी देशमा छाडिएका मानिसहरूकै बिचमा तिनीसित बसे ।
So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah and stayed with him with the people who were still left in the country.
7 बेबिलोनका राजाले अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई देशको गभर्नरमा नियुक्त गरेका थिए भनी गाउँबस्तीमा बाँकी रहेका यहूदी सिपाहीहरूका केही अधिकारीहरू र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूले सुने । बेबिलोनमा निर्वासित नभएका सबैभन्दा गरिब पुरुषहरू, स्त्रीहरू, बालबालिकाहरूको जिम्मामा तिनलाई नियुक्त गरिएको थियो भनेर पनि तिनीहरूले सुने ।
The Judean army commanders and their men who were still in field found out that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam as governor of the country and had put him in charge of the poorest people of the country—the men, women, and children who hadn't been exiled to Babylon.
8 त्यसैले तिनीहरू मिस्पामा गदल्याहकहाँ गए । यी मानिसहरू यी नै थिएः नतन्याहका छोरा इश्माएल, कारेहका दुई छोरा योहानान र जोनाथन, तन्हूमेतका छोरा सरायाह, नतोपाती एफैका छोराहरू, माकातीका छोरा याजन्याह र यी सबैका मानिसहरू ।
So they along with their men came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maacathite.
9 शापानका नाति, अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहले तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूलाई शपथ खुवाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कल्दी अधिकारीहरूको सेवा गर्नदेखि नडराओ । यही देशमा बसे र बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा गर, र तिमीहरूको भलो हुनेछ ।
Geladaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, made them a solemn promise, saying, “Don't worry about serving the Babylonians. Stay here in the country and serve the king of Babylon, and things will go well for you.
10 हामीकहाँ आउने कल्दीहरूसित भेट गर्न म मिस्पामा बस्दैछु । त्यसैले तिमीहरूले दाखमद्य, ग्रीष्म ऋतुका फलहरू र तेलको खेती गर र आफ्ना भाँडाहरूमा जम्मा गर । तिमीहरूले छानेका सहरहरूमा बस ।”
I myself will stay here in Mizpah to represent you to the Babylonians when they come to meet with us. You yourselves should get busy harvesting grapes and summer fruit and olive oil, storing them in jars, and living in the towns you have occupied.”
11 तब मोआबमा भएका सबै यहूदी, अम्मोनीहरू र एदोमीहरूका बिचमा भएका र हरेक देशमा भएका यहूदीहरूले यो कुरा सुने, कि बेबिलोनका राजाले यहूदाका बाँकी रहेकाहरूलाई बस्न दिएका छन्, र शापानका नाति, अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई तिनीहरूमाथि अधिकारी नियुक्त गरेका छन् ।
Those people of Judea who were living in Moab, Ammon, Edom, and all the other countries heard that the king of Babylon had left some people behind in Judah and had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as their governor.
12 त्यसैले सबै यहूदी आफू छरपष्ट भएको हरेक ठाउँबाट फर्के । तिनीहरू यहूदाको देशको मिस्पामा गदल्याहकहाँ फर्केर आए । तिनीहरूले प्रचुर मात्रा दाखमद्य र ग्रीष्म ऋतुको फल उत्पादन गरे ।
So they all came back from the different places where they'd been scattered and went to Gedaliah at Mizpah in Judah. They were able to harvest a large quantity of grapes and summer fruit.
13 कारेहका छोरा योहानान र गाउँबस्तीमा भएका सेनाका अधिकृतहरू मिस्पामा गदल्याहकहाँ आए ।
Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the men in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah
14 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “अम्मोनीहरूका राजा बालीसले नतन्याहका छोरा इश्माएललाई तपाईंको हत्या गर्न पठाएका छन् भन्ने कुरो तपाईंलाई थाहा छ?” तर अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहले तिनीहरूको कुरो विश्वास गरेनन् ।
and told him, “Do you know that Baalis king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to kill you?” But Gedaliah didn't believe them.
15 त्यसैले मिस्पामा कारेहका छोरा योहानानले गदल्याहलाई गुप्तमा कुरा गरे र भने, “नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएललाई मार्न मलाई अनुमति दिनुहोस् । कसैले मलाई शङ्का गर्नेछैन । त्यसले तपाईंलाई किन मार्ने? तपाईंकहाँ जम्मा भएका सबै यहूदीलाई किन तितर-बितर हुन दिने र यहूदाका बाँकी रहेकाहरूलाई किन नष्ट हुन दिने?”
Johanan went and talked privately to Gedaliah at Mizpah. “Let me go and kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah,” he told him. “No one will find out. Why should he be allowed to kill you? All the people of Judah who have joined you would be scattered, so that even those who have survived here would be killed!”
16 तर अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहले कारेहका छोरा योहानानलाई भने, “यो कुरो नगर, किनकि तिमीले इश्माएलको विषयमा मसित झूट बोल्दैछौ ।”
But Gedaliah said to Johanan, “Don't do it! What you're saying about Ishmael isn't true.”
