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 came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and [one] of the king's chief men, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam unto 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 ।

And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.

3 त्यसपछि इश्माएलले मिस्पामा गदल्याहसित भएका सबै यहूदी र त्यहाँ भेट्टाइएका कल्दी योद्धाहरूलाई मारे ।

And Ishmael smote all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war.

4 तब गदल्याह मारिएको दोस्रो दिन भएको थयो तर पनि कसैलाई थाहा थिएन ।

And it came to pass 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 ।

that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves; with oblations and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.

6 तिनीहरू रुँदै जाँदै गर्दा नतन्याहको छोरो इश्माएल मिस्पाबाट तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न निस्के । तिनीहरूसित तिनको भेट हुँदा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “अहीकामका छोरा गदल्याहकहाँ आओ ।”

And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and it came to pass when he met them, he said unto 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 it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, he and the men that were with him, slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit.

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 that said unto Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and did not kill them among their brethren.

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 ।

And the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the 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 ।

And Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-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 ।

And Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that 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 ।

and they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are at Gibeon.

13 जब इश्माएलसित भएका सबै मानिसले कारेहका छोरा योहानान र तिनीसित भएका सबै सेनाका कप्‍तानलाई देखे, तब तिनीहरू साह्रै खुसी भए ।

And it came to pass when all the people that were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.

14 इश्माएलले मिस्पामा समातेका सबै मानिस फर्के र कारेहका छोरा योहानानकहाँ गए ।

And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went 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 escaped from Johanan 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 Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that 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 slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon;

17 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू गए, र केही समय बेथलेहेम नजिकै गेरूथ-किम्हाममा बसे ।

and they departed, and dwelt at 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 Chaldeans; for they feared them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
