ଯିରିମୀୟ 43
1 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଯିରିମୀୟ ଏହିସବୁ କଥା, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍, ଯେଉଁ ସକଳ କଥା ସମଗ୍ର ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ କହିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ସେମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ତାଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଥିଲେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କର ସେହି ସକଳ କଥା କହିବାର ସମାପ୍ତ କରନ୍ତେ,
IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JOAKIM son of Josias king of Juda, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 ହୋଶୋୟୀୟର ପୁତ୍ର ଅସରୀୟ, କାରେହର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋହାନନ୍ ଓ ଅହଙ୍କାରୀ ଲୋକ ସମସ୍ତେ ଯିରିମୀୟଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମିଥ୍ୟା କଥା କହୁଅଛ; ‘ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମିସରରେ ପ୍ରବାସ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଯିବ ନାହିଁ,’ ଏ କଥା କହିବା ପାଇଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପଠାଇ ନାହାନ୍ତି;
Take you a roll of a book, and write upon it all the words which I spoke to you against Jerusalem, and against Juda, and against all the nations, from the day when I spoke to you, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.
3 ମାତ୍ର କଲ୍ଦୀୟମାନେ ଯେପରି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ବଧ କରି ପାରିବେ ଓ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରି ବାବିଲକୁ ନେଇଯିବେ, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ନେରୀୟର ପୁତ୍ର ବାରୂକ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରବର୍ତ୍ତାଉଅଛି।”
Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from their evil way; and [so] I will be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.
4 ଏହିରୂପେ କାରେହର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋହାନନ୍, ସେନାପତିସକଳ ଓ ଲୋକ ସମସ୍ତେ ଯିହୁଦା ଦେଶରେ ବାସ କରିବା ବିଷୟରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ରବରେ ମନୋଯୋଗ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and he wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.
5 ମାତ୍ର କାରେହର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋହାନନ୍ ଓ ସେନାପତି ସମସ୍ତେ, ଯିହୁଦାର ସକଳ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍, ନାନା ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀ ମଧ୍ୟକୁ ତାଡ଼ିତ ଯେସକଳ ଲୋକ ଯିହୁଦା ଦେଶରେ ପ୍ରବାସ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଫେରି ଆସିଥିଲେ,
And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying, I am in prison; I can’t enter into the house of the Lord:
6 ସେହି ପୁରୁଷ, ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ, ବାଳକ, ବାଳିକା ଓ ରାଜକନ୍ୟାଗଣକୁ ଓ ଯେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଲୋକକୁ ପ୍ରହରୀବର୍ଗର ସେନାପତି ନବୂଷରଦନ୍ ଶାଫନ୍ର ପୌତ୍ର ଅହୀକାମ୍ର ପୁତ୍ର ଗଦଲୀୟ ନିକଟରେ ଛାଡ଼ି ଯାଇଥିଲା, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ, ଆଉ ଯିରିମୀୟ ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଙ୍କୁ ଓ ନେରୀୟର ପୁତ୍ର ବାରୂକକୁ ନେଇ,
so you shall read in this roll in the ears of the people in the house of the Lord, on the fast day; and in the ears of all Juda that come out of their cities, you shall read to them.
7 ମିସର ଦେଶରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲେ, କାରଣ ସେମାନେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ରବରେ ମନୋଯୋଗ କଲେ ନାହିଁ; ଆଉ, ସେମାନେ ତଫନ୍ହେଷର ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଗଲେ।
Peradventure their supplication will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced against this people.
8 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ତଫନ୍ହେଷରରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟ ଯିରିମୀୟଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା, ଯଥା,
And Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him—reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
9 “ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେତେଗୁଡ଼ିଏ ବୃହତ ପ୍ରସ୍ତର ଆପଣା ହସ୍ତରେ ନେଇ, ତଫନ୍ହେଷରରେ ଫାରୋ ଗୃହର ପ୍ରବେଶ ସ୍ଥାନର ନିକଟରେ ଯେଉଁ ଇଟାଗାନ୍ଥୁନି ଅଛି, ତହିଁ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ମଶଲା ଭିତରେ ଯିହୁଦାର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସାକ୍ଷାତରେ ଲୁଚାଇ ରଖ;
And it came to pass in the eighth year of king Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, and the house of Juda, proclaimed a fast before the Lord.
10 ଆଉ, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କୁହ, ସୈନ୍ୟାଧିପତି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲର ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଏହି କଥା କହନ୍ତି, ‘ଦେଖ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆଜ୍ଞା ପଠାଇ ଆପଣା ଦାସ ବାବିଲର ରାଜା ନବୂଖଦ୍ନିତ୍ସରକୁ ଅଣାଇବା ଓ ଏହି ଯେଉଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତରସବୁ ଲୁଚାଇ ରଖିଅଛୁ, ତହିଁ ଉପରେ ତାହାର ସିଂହାସନ ସ୍ଥାପନ କରିବା; ଆଉ, ସେ ତହିଁ ଉପରେ ଆପଣା ରାଜକୀୟ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରାତପ ବିସ୍ତାର କରିବ।
And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entrance of the new gate of the house of the Lord, and in the ears of all the people.
11 ପୁଣି, ସେ ଆସି ମିସର ଦେଶକୁ ଆଘାତ କରି ମୃତ୍ୟୁୁଯୋଗ୍ୟ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ମୃତ୍ୟୁୁରେ, ବନ୍ଦୀତ୍ୱର ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୀତ୍ୱରେ ଓ ଖଡ୍ଗଯୋଗ୍ୟ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଖଡ୍ଗରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିବ।
And Michaeas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan heard all the words of the Lord, out of the book.
12 ଆଉ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ମିସରସ୍ଥ ଦେବାଳୟସବୁରେ ଅଗ୍ନି ଲଗାଇବା ଓ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଗ୍ଧ କରି ବାବିଲକୁ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରି ଘେନିଯିବ; ପୁଣି, ମେଷପାଳକ ଯେପରି ଆପଣା ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଘୋଡ଼ାଇଥାଏ, ସେହିପରି ସେ ମିସର ଦେଶ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆପଣାକୁ ଘୋଡ଼ାଇବ ଓ ସେ ଶାନ୍ତିରେ ଏ ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ କରିବ।
And he went down to the king's house, into the house of the scribe: and, behold, there were sitting there all the princes, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaeas the son of Selemias, and Jonathan the son of Acchobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedekias the son of Ananias, and all the princes.
13 ଆହୁରି, ସେ ମିସର ଦେଶସ୍ଥ ବେଥ୍-ଶେମଶର ସ୍ତମ୍ଭସକଳ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପକାଇବ ଓ ମିସର ଦେଶସ୍ଥ ଦେବାଳୟସବୁ ସେ ଅଗ୍ନିରେ ଦଗ୍ଧ କରିବ।’”
And Michaeas reported to them all the words which he had heard Baruch reading in the ears of the people.
And all the princes sent to Baruch son of Nerias Judin the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, saying, Take in your hand the roll in which you read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch took the roll, and went down to them.
And they said to him, Read [it] again in our ears. And Baruch read [it].
And it came to pass, when they [had] heard all the words, [that] they took counsel each with his neighbour, and said, Let us by all means tell the king all these words.
And they asked Baruch, saying, Where did you write all these words?
And Baruch said, Jeremias told me from his [own] mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.
And they said to Baruch, Go, and hide, you and Jeremias; let no man know where you [are].
And they went in to the king into the court, and gave the roll [to one] to keep in the house of Elisama; and they told the king all these words.
And the king sent Judin to fetch the roll: and he took it out of the house of Elisama: and Judin read in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood round the king.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house: and [there was] a fire on the hearth before him.
And it came to pass when Judin had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast [them] into the fire that was on the hearth, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
And the king and his servants that heard all these words sought not [the Lord], and tore not their garments.
But Elnathan and Godolias suggested to the king that he should burn the roll.
And the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son, and Saraeas the son of Esriel, to take Baruch and Jeremias: but they were hidden.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after the king had burnt the roll, [even] all the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias, saying,
Again take you another roll, and write all the words that were on the roll, which king Joakim has burnt.
And you shall say, Thus says the Lord; You have burnt this roll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come in, and destroy this land, and man and cattle shall fail from off it?
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim king of Juda; He shall not have [a man] to sit on the throne of David: and his carcass shall be cast forth in the heat by day, and in the frost by night.
And I will visit him, and his family, and his servants: and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Juda, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they listened not.
And Baruch took another roll, and wrote upon it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim had burnt: and there were yet more words added to it like the former.
