¹सिदकियाह यहूदाका राजा हुँदा उनी 12 वर्ष मात्रका थिए। सिदकियाहले यरूशलेममा एघार वर्ष राज्य गरे। उनकी आमाको नाउँ हमूतल हो तिनी यर्मियाकी छोरी थिइन्। हमतूलका परिवार लिब्ना शहरका थिए।

¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

²यहोयाकीमले गरे जस्तै सिदकियाहले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा नै अनिष्ट कार्य गरे।

²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

³डरलाग्दा घटनाहरू यरूशलेम र यहूदामा भयो किनभने परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसित रिसाउनु भएको थियो। अन्तमा, परमप्रभुले आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट यरूशलेम र यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई फ्याँकिदिनु भयो। सिदकियाहले बाबेलको राजा विरूद्ध विद्रोह गरे।

³For through the anger of Yahweh it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

⁴यसर्थ सिदकियाहको शासनकालको नवौ वर्षको दशौं महीनाको दशौं दिन बाबेलका राजा नबूकदनेस्सर आफ्ना सम्पूर्ण सेना लिएर यरूशलेम विरूद्ध अघि बढे। बाबेलका सेनाले यरूशलेम बाहिर शिबिर बनाएका थिए। तिनीहरूले शहरको वरिपरि घेरा पर्खालहरू बनाए।

⁴It 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 round about.

⁵शहर घेराव सिदकियाहको राज्यकालको एघारौं वर्षसम्म रह्यो।

⁵So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁶चौथो महीनाको नवौं दिनमा शहरमा महा अनिकाल पर्यो। त्यस देशमा मानिसहरूका निम्ति भोजन थिएन।

⁶In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁷शहरको पर्खालमा प्वाल बनाएको थियो। यरूशलेमका सेना भागे। तिनीहरूले शहर राता-रात त्यागे। राजाको बगैंचाको दुइ पर्खालहरूको माझको प्रवेशद्वारबाट तिनीहरू गए। अहिले बाबेलीहरूले शहरलाई घेरेका थिए। तिनीहरू आराबातिर भागे।

⁷Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city 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 all around;) and they went toward the Arabah.

⁸तर राजा सिदकियाहलाई बाबेलका सेनाले खेदे। तिनीहरूले यरीहोको मैदानमा तिनलाई समाते। सिदकियाहका सबै सिपाहीहरू भागे।

⁸But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁹बाबेलका सेनाले राजा सिदिकयाहलाई पक्रे अनि तिनीहरूले उसलाई हमातको देश रिब्लामा बाबेलका राजाकहाँ ल्याए। रिब्लामा बाबेलका राजाले राजा सिदकियाहमाथि आफ्नो निर्णय सुनाए।

⁹Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.

¹⁰रिब्लामा बाबेलका राजाले सिदकियाहको छोरोहरू तिनको उपस्थितिमा मारिदिए। सिदकियाहलाई उनका छोराहरू उपस्थितिमा मारिएको हेर्न वाध्य पारि्यो। तिनीहरूले यहूदाका सारा हाकिमहरूलाई पनि मारिदिए।

¹⁰The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

¹¹त्यसपछि बाबेलका राजाले सिदकियाहलाई अन्धा बनाए। उसले सिदकियाहलाई साङ्गलाले बाँधे अनि तिनलाई बाबेलमा लगेर तिनको मृत्यु सम्म कैदमा राखे।

¹¹He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.

¹²राजा नबूकदनेस्सरको राज्यकालको उन्नाईसौं वर्षको पाँचौ महीनाको दशौं दिनमा बाबेलका राजाका विशेष रक्षकहरूको कप्तान नबूजरदान यरूशलेममा आए।

¹²Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:

¹³नबूजरदानले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आगो लगाइदियो। उनले राजाको महल, सबै साधरण र महत्वपूर्ण घरहरूमा आगो लगाइदियो।

¹³and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.

¹⁴बाबेलका सम्पूर्ण सेना जो तिनीहरूका कप्तानसित थिए, तिनीहरूले यरूशलेमको वरिपरिको पर्खालहरू तोडिदिए।

¹⁴All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

¹⁵कप्तान नबूजरदानले केही गरीब मानिसहरू अनि शहरमा बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूलाई कैद गरे अनि बाबेलका राजासित समर्पण भइसकेकाहरूलाई बाबेल लगे। उनले कुशल कारीगरहरूलाई पनि कैद गरेर लगे।

¹⁵Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and 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.

¹⁶तर नबूजरदानले कतिपय गरीब मानिसहरूलाई खेती र दाखबारीमा काम गर्नलाई छोडी दिए।

¹⁶But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

¹⁷बाबेलीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको काँसाको खम्बाहरू त्यसको घेडेरीहरू, काँसाको ट्याँकी तोडे अनि काँसा बाबेलमा लगे।

¹⁷The Chaldeans broke 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 in pieces, and carried all the of their brass to Babylon.

¹⁸बाबेलका सेनाले मन्दिरबाट भाँडाहरू, बेलचाहरू, सलेदो काट्नेहरू, धुपौरोहरू, ठूलो बाटाहरू, कचौराहरू, अनि सारा काँसाका भाँडाहरू जो मन्दिरको काममा चलाइन्थ्यो सबै लगे।

¹⁸They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.

¹⁹राजाका कप्तानका विशेष प्रहरीहरूले साना-साना धूपदानीहरू, अभिषेक गर्ने बोलहरू, भाँडाहरू सामदानहरू, चम्चाहरू जुन सुन र चाँदीबाट बनाइएका थिए अनि अर्घ बलिहरूको लागि प्रयोग गरिन्थ्यो सबै लगे।

¹⁹The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.

²⁰ती दुइ खम्बाहरू, एउटा ठूलो काँसाको खड्कुँलो, बाह्रवटा काँसाको गोरूहरू अनि सार्नै नसकने आधारहरू जो राजा सुलेमानले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको लागि बनाएका थिए। ती सबै काँसाले बनाएका चीजहरू तौल गरी नसक्नुको थियो।

²⁰They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.

²¹प्रत्येक काँसाका स्तम्भहरू 18 हात उँचाई, 12 हात गोलाई र 4 अंगुल मोटाई अनि बीचमा खोक्रो भएको थियो।

²¹As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.

²²प्रत्येक स्तम्भको शिरहरू काँसाले बनिएका अनि 5 हात अग्ला थिए। यो काँसाले सजिएको जाली र काँसाले दारीमदाना बुट्टाहरूले वरिपरि सजिएको थियो। अन्य स्तम्भ पनि दारीमदाना जस्तै बुट्टाले सजिएका थिए।

²²A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.

²³त्यस्का छेव-छैवमा 96 वटा दारिमहरू थिए। त्यहाँ जालीको घेरा वरिपरि जम्मा 100 वटा दारिमहरू थिए।

²³There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.

²⁴राजाको खास रक्षकहरूको अधिकारीले सरायाह र सपन्याहलाई कैदी बनाएर लगे। सरायाह मुख्य पूजाहारी र सपन्याह दोस्रो पूजाहारी थिए। त्यस बाहेक तीनजना ढोकेहरूलाई पनि कैदीहरू बनाएर लगे।

²⁴The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

²⁵तिनले यरूशलेममा भेटिएका राजाका सेनाहरूका अफिसर अनि राजाका सातजना सल्लाहकारहरूलाई पनि लगे। तिनले अधिकारीहरूका सचिव जसले मानिसहरूको नाउँ सेनामा लेखाँउथे तिनलाई, त्यस ठाउँमा भेटिएका मानिसहरू र शहरमा भेटिएका साठी जना पुरूषहरूलाई पनि लगे।

²⁵and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of 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 midst of the city.

²⁶[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

²⁶Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

²⁷[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

²⁷The 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.

²⁸नबूकदनेस्सरले यसरी मानिसहरूलाई कैद बनाएर लगे अनि तिनीहरूको संख्या यही होः नबूकदनेस्सर राजा भएको सातौं वर्षमा, 3,023 मानिसहरू यहूदाबाट लगियो।

²⁸This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;

²⁹नबूकदनेस्सरको राज्यकालको अठारौं वर्षमा 832 यहूदीहरूलाई यरूशलेमको बाहिर लगियो।

²⁹in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;

³⁰नबूकदनेस्सरको राज्यकालको तेईसौं वर्षमा प्रहारीहरूका कप्तान नबूजरदानले 745 यहूदीहरूलाई निर्वासनमा लग्यो। जम्मा 4,600 यहूदीहरूलाई कैदी बनाएर लगियो।

³⁰in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

³¹यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीनले बाबेलमा सैतीस वर्ष कैदी जीवन बिताए। यहोयाकीनको कैदीकालको सैंतीस वर्षमा बाबेलका राजा एवील-मरोदकले अति दया साथ यहोयाकीनलाई कैदबाट मुक्त गराए। यो त्यही वर्ष थियो जब एवील-मरोदकका राजा भएका थिए।

³¹It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

³²एवील-मरोदकले यहोयाकीनसँग प्रेमपर्वक बात गरे। अनि उनले यहोयाकीनलाई बाबेलमा उनीसंग रहेका अन्य राजाहरूलाई भन्दा उच्च स्थानको सम्मान दिए।

³²and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

³³यसकारण यहोयाकीनले आफ्ना कैदी पोषाक खोलेर उतारे। त्यसपछि उसले भोजन पनि राजाकै टेबलमा खाए।

³³and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:

³⁴प्रत्येक दिन बाबेलका राजाले यहोयाकीनलाई भत्ता दिन थाले। यो यहोयाकीनको मृत्यु पर्यन्त लगातार चलिरह्यो।

³⁴and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
