1यसकारण नबूकदनेस्सर बाबेलका राजा र उनका सबै सेनाहरू यरूशलेमको विरूद्धमा युद्ध गर्न आए। यो घटना सिदकियाहको नवौं वर्ष राज्यकालको दशौं महीनाको दशैं दिनमा भयो। नबूकदनेसरका सेनाले शहरको पर्खाल वरिपरि धेरै घेरा मचान खडा गरे। उनले शहरको चारैतिर माटोको भित्ता बनाए।
1It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it around it.
2नबूकदनेसरको सेनाहरूले सिदियाह यहूदाका राजाको एघाह्रौं वर्ष नहुञ्जेलसम्म यरूशलेमको चारैतिर बसे।
2So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3शहरमा अनिकाल विकराल हुँदै गयो। चौथो महीनाको नवौं दिन शहरमा साधारण मानिसहरूका लागि अझै खाद्य थिएन।
3On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4नबूकदनेस्सरका सेनाहरूले अन्तमा शहरको भित्तालाई भत्काए। त्यस रात राजा सिदकियाह र उनका सबै सैनिकहरू भागे। तिनीहरूले गोप्यद्वार प्रयोग गरे जुन दुइ पर्खाल भएर गएको थियो। यो राजाको बगैंचा भएर गएको थियो। शत्रुका सैनिकहरू शहरको वरिपरि थिए तर सिदकियाह र उनका मानिसहरू मरूभूतिको बाटो भएर भागे।
4Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5बाबेली सेनाहरूले राजा सिदकियाहलाई पछ्याए अनि यरीहो छेऊ उनलाई पक्रिए। सिदकियाहाका सबै सैनिकहरूले उनलाई छोडे अनि भागे।
5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6बाबेलीहरूले राजा सिदकियाहलाई रिब्लामा बाबेलका राजा कहाँ लगे। बाबेलीहरूले सिदकियाहलाई सजाय दिने निश्चय गरे।
6Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment on him.
7तिनीहरूले सिदकियाहका छोराहरूलाई उनकै सामु मारे। तब तिनीहरूले सिदकियाहका आखाँहरू निकाले तिनीहरूले उनलाई साङ्गलाले बाँधे अनि बाबेल पुर्याए।
7They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8नबूकदनेस्सर आफू बाबेलको राजा भएको उन्नाइसौं वर्षको पाँचौ महीनाको सातौं दिन यरूशलेम आए। नबूजरदान नबूकदनेसरको प्रमुख सैनिकहरूका अधिकारी थिए।
8Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
9नबूजरदानले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर, राजाको महल र यरूशलेमका सबै घरहरू जलाए। उनले मुख्य मानिसहरूका घरहरू पनि जलाए।
9He burnt the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.
10तब नबूजरदानसँगै भएको बाबेली सेनाहरूले यरूशलेमको वरिपरिको पर्खाहरू लडाए।
10All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11नबूजरदानले शहरमा छोडिएका सबै मानिसहरूलाई पत्रे। नबूजरदानले बाबेलको राजा समक्ष आत्म समर्पण गरेका सबै मानिसहरूलाई बन्दीको रूपमा लगे।
11Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
12नबूजरदानले साधारण मानिसहरूमा अत्यन्त दरिद्रलाई मात्र त्यहाँ बस्न दिए। उनले तिनीहरूलाई बस्न दिए जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू दाख र अन्य बालीको हेरचाह गर्न सकून्।
12But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13बाबेली सैनिकहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भएका सबै काँसाका चीजहरू टुक्रा टुक्रा पारे। तिनीहरूले काँसाको खाँबो, काँसाको गाडी अनि विशाल काँसाको खँड्कुलो टुक्रायाए। तब तिनीहरूले त्यो सबै काँसा बाबेल लगे।
13The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, and carried the brass pieces to Babylon.
14बाबेलीहरूले भाँडाहरू, बेल्चाहरू, मोसोदानी, धूपदानीभरू, चम्चीहरू, तथा सबै काँसाका थालहरू लगे जो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा उपयोग गरिन्थ्यो।
14They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15नबूजरदानले कराही र थालहरू सबै लगे। उनले सुनले बनिएका सबै चीजहरू सुनका लागि लगे। अनि उनले सबै चाँदीले बनिएका चीजहरू चाँदीका लागि लगे।
15The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
16[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
16The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
17The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was on it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of brass: and like to these had the second pillar with network.
18मन्दिरबाट नबूजरदानले लगे मुख्य पूजाहारी सरायाह, अर्का पूजाहारी सपन्याह, तीन जना मानिसहरू जसले प्रवेशद्वारको सुरक्षा गर्ने गर्दथे तिनीहरूलाई पनि लगे।
18The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
19अनि शहरबाट नबूजरदानले एउटा अधिकारीलाई लगे जो सैनिकहरूको मुखिया थिए। पाँच जना राजाका सल्लाहकार जो अझै शहरमा नै थिए, एकजना अध्यक्ष जसले साधारण मानिसहरूलाई युद्धको निम्ति जम्मा गर्थे अनि 60 जना साधारण मानिसहरू जो अझै शहरमा थिए।
19and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city.
20[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
20Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
21The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22नबूकदनेस्सर बाबेलका राजाले यहूदा देशमा केही मानिसहरू छोडेका थिए। एक मानिस थिए जसको नाउँ गदल्याह थियो, शापानका छोरा अहीकामका छोरा थिए। नबूकदनेस्सरले यहूदामा मानिसहरूका राज्यपाल बनाए।
22As for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
23सेनाका सेनापतिहरू नतन्याहका छोरा ईश्माएल, कारेहका छोरा योहानान, नतोपातका तन्हमेतका छोरा सरायाह अनि माकाईका छोरा याजन्याह थिए। यी सेनापतिहरू तथा उनका मानिसहरूले थाह पाए, बाबेलका राजाले गदल्यालाई राज्यपाल बनाए। यसर्थ तिनीहरू गदल्याहसँग भेट गर्न मिस्पा गए।
23Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24गदल्याहले यी अधिकारीहरू तथा उनका मानिसहरूलाई शपथ दिए। गदल्याहले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “बाबेल का अधिकारीहरू सित डरमान्नु पर्दैन। यहाँ बस अनि बाबेलका राजाको सेवा गर। तब तिमीहरूका लागि सबै कुरो ठीक हुनेछ।”
24Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
25एलीशामाको नाती नतन्याहको छोरा इश्माएल राजपरिवारका थिए। सातौं महिनामा इश्माएल अनि उनका दशजना मानिसहरूले गदल्याहमाथि आक्रमण गरे अनि मिस्पामा गदल्याह सँगै सबै यहूदीहरू तथा बाबेलीहरूलाई मारे।
25But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26तब सेनाका अधिकारीहरू अनि सबै मानिसहरू मिश्र भागे। कम्ती महत्वपूर्ण देखि बढी महत्वपूर्ण भएका प्रत्येक मानिसहरू भागे किनभने तिनीहरू बाबेलीहरूसित डराएका थिए।
26All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27पछि एबील-मरोदक बाबेलका राजा भए। उनले यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीनलाई बन्दीगृहबाट मुक्त गरिदिए। यो घट्ना यहोयाकीन पक्राउ परेपछि, सत्ताईस दिन बाह्रा महीना सैंतीसौं वर्षमा भएको थियो। यो एबील-मरोदकको शासनको शुरूको वर्षमा भएको घट्ना हो।
27It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28एबील- मरोदक यहोयाकीनप्रति दयालु थिए। उनले बाबेलमा उनीसँग बस्ने अरू राजाहरू भन्दा यहोयाकीनलाई धेरै महत्वपूर्ण पद दिए।
28and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
29एबील-मरोदकले यहोयाकीनलाई बन्दीको लुगा लगाउन बन्द गरे। अनि यहोयाकीनले जीवनको रहल समय प्रत्येक दिन एबील-मरोदकसँग एउटै मेजमा बसेर खाए।
29and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
30यस प्रकार राजा एबील मरोदकले यहोयाकीनलाई रहल जीवनमा प्रत्येक दिन भोजन प्रदान गरे।
30and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
