< नहेम्याह 9 >

1 अब उही महिनाको चौबिसौँ दिनमा इस्राएलीहरू भेला भए । तिनीहरू उपवास बस्दै र भाङ्ग्रा लगाउँदै थिए, र तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शिरमा धूलो हाले ।
Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth upon them.
2 इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूले सबै परदेशीबाट आफूलाई अलग गरे । तिनीहरू खडा भएर आफ्ना पापसाथै तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दुष्‍ट कामहरू स्वीकार गरे ।
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
3 तिनीहरू आ-आफ्ना ठाउँमा खडा भए, र पहिलो एक पहरचाहिँ तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकबाट पढे । अर्को पहरमा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु पाप स्वीकार गर्दै र दण्डवत् गर्दै थिए ।
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth part of the day, and another fourth part they confessed, and worshiped Jehovah their God.
4 लेवीहरू, येशूअ, बानी, कादमीएल, शबन्याह, बुन्‍नी, शरेबियाह, बानी र कनानी खुट्किलाहरूका उभिए, अनि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई उच्‍च सोरमा पुकारे ।
Then Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, stood up upon the stairs of the Levites, and cried with a loud voice to Jehovah their God.
5 तब लेवीहरू, येशूअ, कादमीएल, बानी, हशबन्याह, शरेबियाह, होदियाह, शबन्याह र पतहियाहले भने, “खडा भएर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई सदासर्वदा प्रशंसा चढाओ ।” तिनीहरूले तपाईंको महिमित नाउँलाई धन्यको भनून्, र यो नाउँ हरेक आशिष् र प्रशंसाभन्दा माथि उचालिएको होस् ।
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless Jehovah your God from everlasting to everlasting. And blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
6 तपाईं मात्र परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले स्वर्ग, सर्वोच्‍च आकाश, त्यहाँका सबै आकाशीय पिण्ड अनि पृथ्वी र यसमा भएका थोक थोक, समुद्रहरू र तिनमा भएका सबै थोक बनाउनुभयो । तपाईंले नै ती सबैलाई जीवन दिनुहुन्छ, र स्वर्गका समुदायले तपाईंको आराधना गर्छन् ।
Thou are Jehovah, even thou alone, thou have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preserve them all. And the host of heaven worships thee.
7 तपाईं परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले अब्रामलाई चुन्‍नुभयो, र तिनलाई कल्दीहरूको ऊरबाट ल्याउनुभयो, र तिनलाई अब्राहाम नाउँ दिनुभयो ।
Thou are Jehovah, the God who chose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham,
8 तपाईंले तिनको हृदय तपाईंको सामु विश्‍वासयोग्य भएको भेट्टाउनुभयो, र तिनका सन्तानहरूलाई कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्‍जी, यबूसी र गिर्गाशीहरूको देश दिने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञा पुरा गर्नुभएको छ किनकि तपाईं धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ ।
and found his heart faithful before thee, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his seed, and have performed thy words, for thou are righteous.
9 तपाईंले मिश्रमा हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूको दुःख देख्‍नुभयो, र लाल समुद्रनेर तिनीहरूको क्रन्दन सुन्‍नुभयो ।
And thou saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea,
10 तपाईंले फारो, तिनका सबै अधिकारी र तिनको देशका सबै जनताको सामु चिन्हहरू र आश्‍चर्यहरू गर्नुभयो किनकि मिश्रीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूको विरुद्धमा अहङ्कारी भएर व्यवहार गरेका थिए भनी तपाईं जान्‍नुहुन्थ्यो । तपाईंले आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा नाउँ राख्‍नुभयो जुन आजको दिनसम्म खडा छ ।
and showed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land, for thou knew that they dealt proudly against them, and got thee a name, as it is this day.
11 त्यसपछि तपाईंले तिनीहरूकै सामु समुद्रलाई विभाजन गरिदिनुभयो अनि तिनीहरू समुद्रको बिचमा सुक्खा भूमिबाट हिँडेर गए, र तिनीहरूलाई खेद्‍नेहरूलाई तपाईंले उर्लंदो पानी ढुङ्गा फालेझैँ फालिदिनुभयो ।
And thou divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land. And thou cast their pursuers into the depths as a stone into the mighty waters.
12 तिनीहरूलाई बाटोमा यात्राको लागि प्रकाश दिन तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दिनमा बादलको खाँबो र रातमा आगोको खाँबोद्वारा अगुवाइ गर्नुभयो ।
Moreover in a pillar of cloud thou led them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
13 तपाईं स्वर्गबाट सीनै पर्वतमा ओर्लनुभयो, र तिनीहरूसित बोल्नुभयो अनि तिनीहरूलाई धार्मिक नियमहरू, साँचो व्यवस्था र असल विधिविधानसाथै आज्ञाहरू दिनुभयो ।
Thou also came down upon mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,
14 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो पवित्र शबाथ चिनाउनुभयो, अनि तपाईंका दास मोशाद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञाहरू, विधिविधानहरू र व्यवस्था दिनुभयो ।
and made known to them thy holy sabbath, and commanded them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by Moses thy servant.
15 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको भोक तृप्‍त पार्न स्वर्गबाट रोटी दिनुभयो, र तिनीहरूको तिर्खा मेट्न चट्टानबाट पानी दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी तपाईंले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा गएर अधिकार गर्न तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
And thou gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which thou had sworn to give them.
16 तर तिनीहरू र हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरू अटेरी र हठी भए, र तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू सुनेनन् ।
But they and our fathers dealt proudly and stiffened their neck, and did not hearken to thy commandments,
17 तिनीहरूले सुन्‍न इन्कार गरे, र तपाईंले तिनीहरूका बिचमा गर्नुभएका आश्‍चर्यहरूलाई तिनीहरूले विचारै गरेनन् । तर तिनीहरू हठी भए, र तिनीहरूको विद्रोहमा तिनीहरूले आफ्नो दासत्वमा फर्कन एक जना अगुवा नियुक्त गरे । तर तपाईं क्षमाले भरिपूर्ण, अनुग्रही, दयालु, रिसाउनमा ढिला, अचुक प्रेममा प्रचुर परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्‍नुभएन ।
and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou did among them, but stiffened their neck. And in their rebellion they appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But thou are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and did not forsake them.
18 तिनीहरूले ढलौटे बाछा बनाएर 'तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट ल्याउने ईश्‍वर यही हो' भनी तिनीहरूले ठुलो ईश्‍वर-निन्दा गर्दा पनि
Yea, when they had made a molten calf for them, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations,
19 तपाईंले आफ्नो दयामा तिनीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा त्याग्‍नुभएन । तिनीहरूलाई बाटोमा अगुवाइ गर्ने बादलको खाँबोले दिनमा तिनीहरूलाई छोडेन, न त तिनीहरूको यात्राको लागि प्रकाश दिने आगोको खाँबोले रातमा तिनीहरूलाई छोडे ।
yet thou in thy manifold mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud did not depart from over them by day to lead them in the way, neither the pillar of fire by night to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
20 तिनीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिन तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो असल आत्मा दिनुभयो, र तिनीहरूका मुखमा तपाईंले आफ्नो मन्‍न दिन रोक्‍नुभएन, र तिनीहरूको तिर्खा मेट्न तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई पानी दिनुभयो ।
Thou also gave thy good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold thy manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
21 चालिस वर्षसम्म उजाड-स्थानमा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई भोजन उपलब्ध गराउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई कुनै थोकको कमी भएन । तिनीहरूका लुगा फाटिएनन्, र तिनीहरूका गोडा सुनिएनन् ।
Yea, forty years thou sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing; their clothes did not grow old, and their feet did not swell.
22 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई राज्यहरू र जातिहरू दिनुभयो, अनि देशका हरेक कुनामा पुर्‍याउनुभयो । तब तिनीहरूले हेश्बोनका राजा सीहोन र बाशानका राजा ओगको देश अधिकार गरे ।
Moreover thou gave them kingdoms and peoples, which thou allotted after their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
23 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई आकाशका ताराजत्तिकै अनगिन्ती बनाउनुभयो, र तपाईंले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई अधिकार गर्न दिन्छु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभयो ।
Their sons thou also multiplied as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land concerning which thou said to their fathers that they should go in to possess it.
24 त्यसैले मानिसहरू देशभित्र प्रवेश गरी यसको अधिकार गरे, र तिनीहरूकै सामु त्यस देशका बासिन्दाहरू अर्थात् कनानीहरूलाई तपाईंले अधीनमा ल्याउनुभयो । इस्राएलले इच्छा लागेअनुसार कनानीहरूलाई व्यवहार गरून् भनेर तपाईंले कनानीहरू, तिनीहरूका राजाहरू, देशका जनताहरूलाई तिनीहरूका हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो ।
So the sons went in and possessed the land. And thou subdued the inhabitants of the land before them, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
25 तिनीहरूले किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू र उर्बरायुक्त देश कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले सबै असल थोकहरूले भरिएका घरहरू, पहिले नै खनेका कुवाहरू, दाखबारीहरू, जैतूनका बगैँचाहरू र प्रचुर मात्रामा फल दिने रुखहरू कब्जा गरे । यसरी तिनीहरूले खाएर तृप्‍त भए, अनि मोटाएर तपाईंको महान् भलाइमा तिनीहरूले आनन्द मनाए ।
And they took fortified cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns hewn out, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
26 तब तिनीहरू अनाज्ञाकारी बने, र तिनीहरूले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरे । तिनीहरूले तपाईंको व्यवस्थालाई पिठिउँ फर्काए । तिनीहरूले तपाईंका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई मारे जसले तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंकहाँ फर्कन चेताउनी दिएका थिए । तिनीहरूले ठुलो ईश्‍वर-निन्दा गरे ।
Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and killed thy prophets who testified against them to turn them again to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
27 त्यसैले तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो जसले तिनीहरूलाई सताए । तिनीहरूको दुःखकष्‍टको समयमा तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई पुकारे, र तपाईंले स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूको कुरा सुन्‍नुभयो । तपाईंको महान् कृपाको कारण तपाईंले छुटकारा दिनेहरू पठाउनुभयो जसले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका हातबाट छुटकारा दिए ।
Therefore thou delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. And in the time of their trouble, when they cried to thee, thou heard from heaven, and according to thy manifold mercies thou gave them saviors who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries.
28 तर तिनीहरूले शान्ति पाएपछि तिनीहरूले फेरि तपाईंको सामु दुष्‍ट काम गरे, र तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका हातमा त्यागिदिनुभयो, अनि तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गरे । तथापि तिनीहरू फर्केर तपाईंलाई पुकारा गर्दा तपाईंले स्वर्गबाट सुन्‍नुभयो, र तपाईंको कृपाको कारण धेरै पटक तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।
But after they had rest, they again did evil before thee. Therefore thou left them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them. Yet when they returned, and cried to thee, thou heard from heaven, and many times thou delivered them according to thy mercies,
29 तिनीहरू तपाईंको व्यवस्थामा फर्कून् भनेर तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिनुभयो । तरै पनि तिनीहरू हठी भए, र तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू सुनेनन् । आज्ञा पालन गर्ने जोसुकैलाई जीवन दिने तपाईंका आज्ञाहरूको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूले पाप गरे । तिनीहरू हठी बने र अटेरी बने अनि सुन्‍न इन्का गरे ।
and testified against them, that thou might bring them again to thy law. Yet they dealt proudly, and did not hearken to thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), and withdrew the shoulder, and stiffened their neck, and would not hear.
30 धेरै वर्षसम्म तपाईं तिनीहरूसित धैर्यवान् हुनुभयो, र आफ्ना अगमवक्ताहरूमार्फत तपाईंको आत्माद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिनुभयो । तरै पनि तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । त्यसैले तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई छिमेकी जातिहरूका हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो ।
Yet many years thou bore with them, and testified against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore thou gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
31 तर तपाईंको महान् कृपामा तिनीहरूलाई निमिट्ट्यान्‍न पार्नुभएन, न त पूर्ण रूपमा त्यागिदिनुभयो किनकि तपाईं अनुग्रही र करुणामय परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Nevertheless in thy manifold mercies thou did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them, for thou are a gracious and merciful God.
32 त्यसकारण, अब हे हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर तपाईं महान्, शक्तिशाली र भययोग्य परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ, जसले आफ्नो करार र अचुक प्रेम राख्‍नुहुन्छ । अश्शूरका राजाहरूको समयदेखि आजको दिनसम्म हामी, हाम्रा राजाहरू, हाम्रा राजकुमारहरू, हाम्रा पुजारीहरू, हाम्रा अगमवक्ताहरू, हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरू र तपाईंका सारा मानिसमाथि आइपरेका यी कठिनाइलाई हलुका नसम्झनुहोस् ।
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, let not all the travail seem little before thee, that has come upon us, on our kings, on our rulers, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
33 हामीमाथि आइपरेका हरेक कुरामा तपाईं धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ किनकि तपाईंले विश्‍वाससाथ व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छ, तर हामीले चाहिँ दुष्‍टतापूर्वक काम गरेका छौँ ।
However thou are just in all that has come upon us, for thou have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly,
34 हाम्रा राजाहरू, हाम्रा राजकुमारहरू, हाम्रा पुजारीहरू र हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूले तपाईंको व्यवस्था पालन गरेका छैनन्, न त तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू वा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिनुभएका तपाईंका करारका आदेशहरूलाई ध्यान दिएका छन् ।
neither have our kings, our rulers, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened to thy commandments and thy testimonies with which thou testified against them.
35 तिनीहरूको आफ्नै राज्य हुँदा तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएको विशाल र मलिलो देशमा तपाईंको महान् उदारतालाई तिनीहरूले उपभोग गर्दागर्दै पनि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको सेवा गरेनन्, न त तिनीहरूका दुष्‍ट मार्गहरूबाट फर्के ।
For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gave them, and in the large and fat land which thou gave before them, neither did they turn from their wicked works.
36 हेर्नुहोस्, हामी दास भएका छौँ । अहिले हामी तपाईंले हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई त्यसका फलहरू खान र त्यसका असल उब्जनीहरू उपभोग गर्नलाई दिनुभएको यही देशमा हामी दास भएका छौँ ।
Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that thou gave to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good of it, behold, we are servants in it.
37 हाम्रा पापले गर्दा त्यसका प्रशस्त उब्जनीहरू हामीमाथि प्रभुत्व गर्न तपाईंले खटाउनुभएका राजाहरूकहाँ जान्छन् । तिनीहरूलाई इच्छा लागेअनुसार तिनीहरूले हाम्रा शरीरसाथै हाम्रा गाईवस्तुमाथि शासन गर्छन् । हामी बडो कष्‍टमा छौँ!
And it yields much increase to the kings whom thou have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
38 यी सबै कारणले गर्दा हामी लेखेर नै दृढ करार बाँध्दछौँ । छाप लगाइएको दस्तावेजमा हाम्रा राजकुमारहरू, लेवीहरू र पुजारीहरूका नाउँ हुन्छन् ।”
And yet for all this we make a sure covenant, and write it, and our rulers, our Levites, and our priests, seal to it.
