< Jeremias 37 >

1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS FROM THE LORD, SAYING,
यहोयाकीमका छोरा यहोयाकीनको सट्टामा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहले राजा भएर राज्‍य गरे । बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले सिदकियाहलाई यहूदा देशका राजा बनाएका थिए ।
2 Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
तर सिदकियाह, तिनका सेवकहरू र देशका मानिसले यर्मिया अगमवक्ताको हातद्वारा परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको उहाँको वचनलाई सुनेनन् ।
3 For, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाह, शेलेम्याहका छोरा यहूकल र मासेयाहका छोरा सपन्याह पुजारीले यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए । तिनीहरूले यसो भने, “हाम्रा निम्ति परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरसँग प्रार्थना गर ।”
4 AND THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE CONCERNING ISRAEL AND JUDA;
यस बेला यर्मिया मानिसहरूकहाँ आउने र जाने गर्थे, किनकि तिनलाई अझै पनि थुनामा राखिएको थिएन ।
5 Thus said the Lord: You shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
फारोको सेना मिश्रदेशबाट आयो, र यरूशलेमलाई घेराबन्दी गर्ने कल्दीहरूले तिनीहरूका बारेमा खबर सुने र यरूशलेम छाडे ।
6 Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मिया अगमवक्ताकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
7 For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
“परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः यहूदाका राजाले मबाट सल्लाह लिन तँकहाँ मानिसहरू पठाएको हुनाले तैंले उसलाई यसो भन्‍नेछस्, 'हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंलाई मदत गर्न आएको फारोको सेना आफ्नै देश, मिश्रदेशमा फर्केर जानै लागेको छ ।
8 In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
कल्दीहरू फर्केर आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले यस सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नेछन्, यसलाई कब्जा गर्नेछन्, र जलाउनेछन् ।'
9 but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः यसो भनेर आफैलाई धोका नदिनुहोस्, 'निश्‍चय पनि कल्दीहरूले हामीलाई छाडेर जाँदैछन्,' किनकि तिनीहरू छोड्‍नेछैनन् ।
तपाईंको विरुद्धमा लड्ने सम्पूर्ण कल्दी सेनालाई तपाईंले जितेको, जसले गर्दा पालहरूमा घाइते मानिसहरू मात्र छाडिएको भए पनि तिनीहरू उठ्‍नेछन् र यस सहरलाई जलाउनेछन् ।”
त्‍यसैले फारोको सेना आउँदै गर्दा कल्दीको सेनाले यरूशलेम छाड्यो,
12 Thus says the Lord; I have brought on [you] destruction; your stroke is painful.
तब यर्मिया यरूशलेमबाट प्रस्थान गरेर बेन्यामीनको इलाकामा गए । त्यहाँ तिनले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका बिचमा आफ्नो जग्गाको अंश लिन चाहन्थे ।
13 There is none to judge your cause: you have been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for you.
जसै तिनी बेन्यामीनको मूल ढोकामा पुगे, त्यहाँ मुख्य पहरेदार थिए । तिनको नाउँ यिरियाह थियो, जो हनन्याहका नाति, शेलेम्याहका छोरा थिए । तिनले यर्मिया अगमवक्तालाई समाते र भने, “तिमी कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर जाँदैछौ ।”
14 All your friends have forgotten you; they shall not ask [about you] at all, for I have struck you with he stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: your sins have abounded above all your iniquity.
तर यर्मियाले भने, “त्यो साँचो होइन । म कल्दीहरूकहाँ भागेर जानेछैन ।” तर यिरियाहले तिनको कुरा सुनेनन् । तिनले यर्मियालाई समाते र अधिकारीहरूकहाँ लगे ।
15 Your sins have abounded beyond the multitude of your iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to you. Therefore all that devour you shall be eaten, and all your enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh.
अधिकारीहरू यर्मियासित रिसाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई कुटे र थुनामा हाले जुन सचिव जोनाथनको घर थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूले यसलाई झ्यालखानामा परिणत गरेका थिए ।
16 And they that spoil you shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered you.
यसरी यर्मियालाई झ्यालखानाको कालकोठरीमा हालियो, जहाँ तिनी धेरै दिनसम्म रहे ।
17 For I will bring about your healing, I will heal you of your grievous wound, says the Lord; for you are called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
तब राजा सिदकियाहले कसैलाई पठाए जसले तिनलाई दरबारमा ल्याए । आफ्नो महलमा राजाले तिनलाई गुप्‍तमा सोधे, “के परमप्रभुबाट कुनै वचन आएको छ?” यर्मियाले जवाफ दिए, “वचन छः तपाईंलाई बेबिलोनका राजाको हातमा दिइनेछ ।”
18 Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
तब यर्मियाले सिदकियाह राजालाई भने, “तपाईं, तपाईंका सेवकहरू र यी मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा मैले कसरी पाप गरें जसको कारण तपाईंले मलाई झ्यालखानामा हाल्‍नुभयो?
19 And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
तपाईंका ती अगमवक्ताहरू कहाँ छन् जसले तपाईंको निम्‍ति अगमवाणी बोले र यसो भने, कि बेबिलोनका राजा तपाईं र यस देशको विरुद्धमा आउनेछैनन्?
20 And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
तर हे मेरा मालिक राजा, अब सुन्‍नुहोस् । मेरा बिन्ती हजुरको सामु राख्‍न दिनुहोस् । मलाई सचिव जोनाथनको घरमा नफर्काउनुहोस्, नत्रता म त्यहीँ मर्नेछु ।”
21 And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? says the Lord.
त्यसैले राजा सिदकियाहले एउटा हुकुम दिए । तिनका अधिकारीहरूले यर्मियालाई गारदको चोकमा थुने । सहरमा सबै रोटी नसकुञ्जेलसम्म तिनलाई हरेक दिन एउटा रोटी दिइन्थ्यो । यसरी यर्मिया गारदको चोकमा रहे ।
23 For the wrathful anger of the lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days you shall know these things.
