ଯିରିମୀୟ 47
1 ଫାରୋ ଘସା ନଗର ପରାସ୍ତ କରିବା ପୂର୍ବେ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଯେଉଁ ବାକ୍ୟ ଯିରିମୀୟ ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା, ତହିଁର ବୃତ୍ତାନ୍ତ।
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after that Nabuzardan the captain of the guard had let him go out of Rama, when he had taken him in manacles in the midst of the captivity of Juda, [even] those who were carried to Babylon.
2 “ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହି କଥା କହନ୍ତି, ଦେଖ, ଉତ୍ତର ଦିଗରୁ ଜଳ ଉଚ୍ଛୁଳୁଅଛି, ତାହା ପ୍ଲାବନକାରୀ ବଢ଼ି ହୋଇ ଦେଶ ଓ ତନ୍ମଧ୍ୟସ୍ଥ ସମସ୍ତ ବସ୍ତୁକୁ, ନଗର ଓ ତନ୍ନିବାସୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଗ୍ନ କରିବ; ତହିଁରେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନେ କ୍ରନ୍ଦନ କରିବେ, ଦେଶ ନିବାସୀ ସମସ୍ତେ ହାହାକାର କରିବେ।
And the chief captain of the guard took him, and said to him, The Lord your God has pronounced all these evils upon this place:
3 ତାହାର ବଳବାନ ଅଶ୍ୱଗଣର ଖୁରା ଶବ୍ଦରେ, ରଥସମୂହର ବେଗ ଗମନରେ ଓ ଚକ୍ରର ଘର ଘର ଶବ୍ଦରେ ପିତୃଗଣ ଦୁର୍ବଳହସ୍ତ ହେବାରୁ ଆପଣା ସନ୍ତାନଗଣ ପ୍ରତି ଫେରି ଅନାଇବେ ନାହିଁ;
and the Lord has done it; because you sinned against him, and listened not to his voice.
4 କାରଣ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କର ସର୍ବସ୍ୱ ହରଣ କରିବାର, ସୋର ଓ ସୀଦୋନର ସହକାରୀ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଉଚ୍ଛିନ୍ନ କରିବାର ଦିନ ଆସୁଅଛି; ଯେହେତୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟମାନଙ୍କର, କପ୍ତୋର ଦ୍ୱୀପର ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ସର୍ବସ୍ୱ ହରଣ କରିବେ।
Behold, I have loosed you from the manacles that were upon your hands. If it seem good to you to go with me to Babylon, then will I set mine eyes upon you.
5 ଘସାର ମସ୍ତକ ଟାଙ୍ଗରା ହୋଇଅଛି; ଅସ୍କିଲୋନ, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ତଳଭୂମିର ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟାଂଶ ଲୋକମାନେ ନୀରବ ହୋଇଅଛନ୍ତି; ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେତେ କାଳ ଆପଣାକୁ କଟାକଟି କରିବ?
But if not, depart; return to Godolias the son of Achicam, the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed governor in the land of Juda, and dwell with him in the midst of the people in the land of Juda: to whatever places it seems good in your eyes to go, do you even go. And the captain of the guard made him presents, and let him go.
6 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଖଡ୍ଗ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆଉ କେତେ କାଳ ଉତ୍ତାରେ କ୍ଷାନ୍ତ ହେବ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା କୋଷରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କର; ଶାନ୍ତ ଓ କ୍ଷାନ୍ତ ହୁଅ।
And he came to Godolias to Massepha, and lived in the midst of his people that was left in the land.
7 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଇଅଛନ୍ତି, ଏଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିପରି କ୍ଷାନ୍ତ ହୋଇପାର? ସେ ଅସ୍କିଲୋନର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ, ସମୁଦ୍ରତୀର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ତାହା ନିଯୁକ୍ତ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।”
And all the leaders of the host that was in the country, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Godolias [governor] in the land, and they committed to him the men and their wives, whom [Nabuchodonosor had] not removed to Babylon.
And there came to Godolias to Massepha Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Joanan son of Caree, and Saraeas the son of Thanaemeth, and the sons of Jophe the Netophathite, and Ezonias son of the Mochathite, they and their men.
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying, Be not afraid before the children of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be better for you.
And, behold, I dwell in your presence at Massepha, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come against you: and do you gather grapes, and fruits, and oil, and put [them] into your vessels, and dwell in the cities which you have obtained possession of.
And all the Jews that were in Moab, and amongst the children of Ammon, and those [that were] in Idumea, and those [that were] in all [the rest of] the country, heard that the king of Babylon [had] granted a remnant to Juda, and that he had appointed over them Godolias the son of Achicam.
And they came to Godolias into the land of Juda, to Massepha, and gathered grapes, and very much summer fruit, and oil.
And Joanan the son of Caree, and all the leaders of the host, who were in the fields, came to Godolias to Massepha,
and said to him, Do you indeed know that king Beleissa son of Ammon has sent Ismael to you to kill you? But Godolias believed them not.
And Joanan said to Godolias secretly in Massepha, I will go now and strike Ismael, and let no man know [it]; lest he kill you, and all the Jews that are gathered to you be dispersed, and the remnant of Juda perish.
But Godolias said to Joanan, Do not the thing, for you speak lies concerning Ismael.
