< 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 ।
Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together 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 arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and 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 ।
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.
4 तब गदल्याह मारिएको दोस्रो दिन भएको थयो तर पनि कसैलाई थाहा थिएन ।
The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew 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 came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the LORD’s house.
6 तिनीहरू रुँदै जाँदै गर्दा नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएल मिस्पाबाट तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न निस्के । तिनीहरूसित तिनको भेट हुँदा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहकहाँ आओ ।”
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he 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 ।
It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, 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 those who said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and didn’t kill them among 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 pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.
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 carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.
11 तर कारेहका छोरा योहानान र तिनीसित भएका सबै सेनाका कप्तानले नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएलले ल्याएका सबै हानिको विषयमा सुने ।
But when Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of 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 ।
then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by 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 ।
Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.
14 इश्माएलले मिस्पामा समातेका सबै मानिस फर्के र कारेहका छोरा योहानानकहाँ गए ।
So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Yochanan the son of Kareah.
15 तर नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएल आठ जना मानिससँगै योहानानबाट भागे । तिनी अम्मेनका मानिसहरूकहाँ गए ।
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Yochanan with eight men, and went to the children 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 ।
Then Yochanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
17 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू गए, र केही समय बेथलेहेम नजिकै गेरूथ-किम्हाममा बसे ।
They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to 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 ।
because of the Kasdim; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
