< यर्मिया 41 >
1 सातौँ महिनामा एलीशामाको नाति, नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएल, जो राजकीय घरानाका थिए, तिनी राजाका दस जना अधिकारीसँगै मिस्पामा अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहकहाँ आए । मिस्पामा तिनीहरूले सँगसँगै खानपान गरे ।
And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.
2 तर नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएल र तिनीसित भएका दस जना मानिस उठे, र शापानका नाति, अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई तरवारले आक्रमण गरे । इश्माएलले गदल्याहलाई मारे, जसलाई बेबिलोनका राजाले देशको गभर्नर नियुक्त गरेका थिए ।
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 त्यसपछि इश्माएलले मिस्पामा गदल्याहसित भएका सबै यहूदी र त्यहाँ भेट्टाइएका कल्दी योद्धाहरूलाई मारे ।
Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
4 तब गदल्याह मारिएको दोस्रो दिन भएको थयो तर पनि कसैलाई थाहा थिएन ।
Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of it,
5 शकेम, शीलो र सामरियाबाट आ-आफ्ना दारी खौरेका, लुगा च्यातेका र शरीर चिरै-चिरा पारेका असी जना मानिस आ-आफ्ना हातमा खानाका भेटीहरू र धुप लिएर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा जानलाई आए ।
men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in the house of the Lord.
6 तिनीहरू रुँदै जाँदै गर्दा नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएल मिस्पाबाट तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न निस्के । तिनीहरूसित तिनको भेट हुँदा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहकहाँ आओ ।”
Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 जब तिनीहरू सहरभित्र प्रवेश गरे, तब नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलले तिनीहरूको हत्या गरे, तिनी र तिनका मानिसहरूका लाशलाई एउटा खाडलमा फाले ।
And when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who were with him.
8 तर तिनीहरूका बिचमा भएका दस जना यस्ता मानिस थिए जसले इश्माएललाई भने, “हामीलाई नमार्नुहोस्, किनकि हामीसित खेतमा लुकाइएका हाम्रा खाद्यपदार्थहरू अर्थात् गहूँ, जौ, तेल र मह छन् ।” त्यसैले तिनले तिनीहरू र तिनका साथीहरूलाई मारेनन् ।
But ten men were found among them, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
9 इश्माएलले हत्या गरी जुन इनारमा ती लाशहरू फलेका थिए, त्यो एउटा ठुलो इनार थियो जसलाई आसा राजाले इस्राएलका राजा बाशाको विरुद्धमा सुरक्षाको निम्ति खनेका थिए । नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलले यसलाई लाशहरूले भरे ।
Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.
10 त्यसपछि इश्माएलले मिस्पामा भएका अरू सबै मानिस, राजाका छोरीहरू र अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहको जिम्मामा अङ्गरक्षकका कप्तान नबूजरदानले मिस्पामा छाडेका सबै मानिसलाई समाते । यसरी नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलले तिनीहरूलाई कैद गरे र सिमाना पार गरेर अम्मोनका मानिसहरूकहाँ गए ।
Then Ishmael led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
11 तर कारेहका छोरा योहानान र तिनीसित भएका सबै सेनाका कप्तानले नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलले ल्याएका सबै हानिको विषयमा सुने ।
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done.
12 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सबै मानिसलाई लिए र नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न गए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई गिबोनको ठुलो तलाउमा फेला पारे ।
And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 जब इश्माएलसित भएका सबै मानिसले कारेहका छोरा योहानान र तिनीसित भएका सबै सेनाका कप्तानलाई देखे, तब तिनीहरू साह्रै खुसी भए ।
And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
14 इश्माएलले मिस्पामा समातेका सबै मानिस फर्के र कारेहका छोरा योहानानकहाँ गए ।
And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 तर नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएल आठ जना मानिससँगै योहानानबाट भागे । तिनी अम्मेनका मानिसहरूकहाँ गए ।
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
16 कारेहका छोरा योहानान र तिनीसित भएका सबै सेनाका कप्तानले नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलबाट उद्धार गरिएका सबै मानिसलाई मिस्पाबाट लगे । यो इश्माएलले अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई मारेपछिको कुरो थियो । योहानान र तिनका साथीहरूले गिबोनमा उद्धार गरिएका बलिया पुरुषहरू, योद्धाहरू, स्त्रीहरू, बालबालिका र नपुंसकहरूलाई लगे ।
Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away from Gibeon.
17 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू गए, र केही समय बेथलेहेम नजिकै गेरूथ-किम्हाममा बसे ।
And they went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and enter into Egypt,
18 कल्दीहरूको कारणले तिनीहरू मिश्रदेश जाँदै थिए । तिनीहरू उनीहरूदेखि डराएका थिए, किनकि नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलले अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहलाई मारेका थिए, जसलाई बेबिलोनका राजाले देशको गभर्नर बनाएका थिए ।
away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
