1 Kings 12
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
रहबाम शकेममा गए किनकि सारा इस्राएल तिनलाई राजा बनाउन शकेममा आउँदै थिए ।
2 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt;
नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो कुरा सुन्दा (तिनी अझैसम्म मिश्रमा नै थिए जहाँ तिनी सोलोमन राजाको उपस्थितिबाट भागेर गएका थिए) तिनी मिश्रमा नै बसेका थिए ।
3 and they sent and called him), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले यारोबामलाई बोलाइपठाए, अनि यारोबाम र इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय रहबामकहाँ आएर भने,
4 “Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
“तपाईंका पिताले हाम्रो जुवा गरुङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो । अब तपाईंका पिताले हामीमाथि राखिदिनुभएको भारी र जुवा हलुङ्गो बनाइदिनुहोस्, अनि हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्ने छौँ ।
5 He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.
रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरू जानुहोस् र तिनदिनपछि फर्केर आउनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले मानिसहरू प्रस्थान गरे ।
6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these people?”
रहबाम राजाले आफ्ना पिता सोलोमन जीवित छँदा तिनको सामु खडा हुने पाका मानिसहरूसित सरसल्लाह लिए र भने, “यी मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिन तपाईंहरू मलाई के सल्लाह दिनुहुन्छ?”
7 They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”
तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “आज तपाईं तिनीहरूका सेवक बनी तिनीहरूको सेवा गर्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई असल जवाफ दिनुभयो भने तिनीहरू सधैँ तपाईंका सेवकहरू हुने छन् ।”
8 But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
तर रहबामले यी पाका मानिसहरूले दिएको सल्लाहलाई बेवास्ता गरे, र आफूसँगै हुर्केर आफ्नो सामु खडा हुने युवाहरूसित सल्लाह लिए ।
9 He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “'तपाईंका पिताले हामीमाथि राखिदिनुभएको जुवा हलुको पारिदिनुहोस्' भनी बताउने मानिसहरूलाई मैले कस्तो जवाफ दिनुपर्छ भनी तिमीहरू मलाई के सल्लाह दिन्छौ?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
आफूसँगै हुर्केका युवाहरूले रहबामलाई यसो भने, “तपाईंका पिता सोलोमनले तिनीहरूको जुवा गरुङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो र अब तपाईंले यसलाई हलुको बनाइदिनुपर्छ भनी बताउने मानिसहरूलाई गएर यसो भन्नुहोस्, ‘मेरो कान्छी औँला मेरा पिताको कम्मरभन्दा मोटो छ ।
11 Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
त्यसैले अब मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूमाथि गरुङ्गो जुवा बोकाउनुभएको थियो । म त्यो अझै गरुङ्गो पारिदिने छु । मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्रा लगाउनुभएको थियो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले डस्न लगाउने छु' ।”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
त्यसैले तेस्रो दिनमा यारोबाम र सारा मानिस रहबामकहाँ आए । किनकि राजाले यसो भनी निर्देशन दिएका थिए, “तेस्रो दिनमा मकहाँ फर्केर आओ ।”
13 The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
राजाले मानिसहरूलाई कडा तवरले जवाफ दिए, र तिनले पाका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई दिएको सल्लाहको बेवास्ता गरे ।
14 and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
तिनले युवाहरूको सल्लाह मानी तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूमाथि गरुङ्गो जुवा बोकाउनुभएको थियो । म त्यो अझै गरुङ्गो पारिदिने छु । मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्रा लगाउनुभएको थियो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले डस्न लगाउने छु ।”
15 So the king did not listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
यसरी राजाले मानिसहरूको कुरा सुनेनन् किनकि शीलोका अहियाहद्वारा नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई उहाँले भन्नुभएको वचन पुरा होस् भनेर परमप्रभुले यस्तो परिस्थिति ल्याउनुभएको थियो ।
16 When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We do not have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.
जब सारा इस्राएलको कुरा राजाले नसुनेको तिनीहरूले देखे तब मानिसहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “दाऊदमा हाम्रो के हिस्सा छ र? यिशैका छोरामा हाम्रो कुनै उत्तराधिकार छैन! हे इस्राएली हो, आ-आफ्ना पालमा जाओ । हे दाऊद, तिमी आफ्नै घर सम्हाल ।” यसरी इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना पालमा फर्केर गए ।
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
तर रहबाम यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्ने इस्राएलीहरूका राजा बने ।
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
तब रहबाम राजाले बेगार काममा लगाउने मानिसहरूका जिम्मावाल अदोनीरामलाई पठाए, तर सारा इस्राएलले तिनलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे । रहबाम राजा आफ्नो रथमा चढेर झट्टै यरूशलेममा भागे ।
19 So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
त्यसैले आजको दिनसम्म इस्राएल दाऊदको घरानाको विरुद्धमा बागी बनेको छ ।
20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for the tribe of Judah only.
यारोबाम फर्के भनी जब सारा इस्राएलले सुने तिनीहरूको आफ्नो सभामा तिनलाई बोलाउनपठाइ तिनलाई सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए । यहूदाको कुलबाहेक दाऊदको परिवारलाई पछ्याउने कोही भएन ।
21 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
जब रहबाम यरूशलेममा आए तिनले यहूदाको सबै घराना र बेन्यामीन कुललाई भेला गरे । इस्राएलको घरानाको विरुद्धमा लडी सोलोमनका छोरा रहबामको राज्यलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्न त्यहाँ १,८०,००० चुनिएका योद्धा जम्मा भएका थिए ।
22 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
तर परमेश्वरका जन शमायाहकहाँ परमेश्वरको वचन आयो,
23 “Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
“सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका सम्पूर्ण घरानासाथै बाँकी सबै मानिसलाई भन्,
24 ‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s word, and returned and went their way, according to the LORD’s word.
'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः आफ्ना दाजुभाइ इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई तिमीहरूले आक्रमण नगर्नू वा तिनीहरूसित लडाइँ नगर्नू । हरेक मानिस आ-आफ्नो घरमा फर्केर जाओस् किनकि यो काम मैले गरेको हुँ' ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुने र तिनीहरू फर्केर आ-आफ्नो बाटो लागे । यसरी तिनीहरूले उहाँको वचन पालन गरे ।
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
तब यारोबामले एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा शकेमलाई मजबुत पारी तिनी त्यहीँ बसे । तिनी त्यहाँबाट गएर तिनले पनीएल सहर बनाए ।
26 Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to David’s house.
यारोबामले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा सोचे, “अब यो राज्य दाऊदको घरानामा फर्कने छ ।
27 If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
यी मानिसहरू यरूशलेमस्थित परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा बलिदान चढाउन गए भने यी मानिसहरूका ह्रदय तिनीहरूका मालिक अर्थात् यहूदाका राजा रहबामकहाँ फर्कने छन् । मलाई मारेर तिनीहरू यहूदाका राजा रहबामकहाँ फर्केने छन् ।”
28 So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and behold your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
यसैले राजा यारोबामले सरसल्लाह लिई सुनका दुईवटा बाछा बनाए । तिनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई यरूशलेमसम्म जान निकै टाढा हुन्छ । हे इस्राएली हो, तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट ल्याउने देवताहरू यी नै हुन् ।”
29 He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
तिनले एउटालाई बेथेलमा र अर्कोलाई दानमा राखे ।
30 This thing became a sin, for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.
यसरी यही कार्य नै पाप बन्यो । मानिसहरू एक ठाउँदेखि अर्को ठाउँमा र दानसम्मै पुजा गर्न गए ।
31 He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
यारोबामले डाँडामा पुजा गर्ने ठाउँहरू बनाए, र तिनले सबै मानिसका बिचबाट पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे जो लेवीका छोराहरूमध्येका थिएनन् ।
32 Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
आठौँ महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा यहूदामा जस्तै यारोबामले एउटा चाड ठहराए, र तिनी वेदीमा गए । तिनले बेथेलमा आफूले बनाएका बाछाहरूका निम्ति बलिदान चढाए, र तिनले बेथेलमा आफूले बनाएका डाँडाका ठाउँहरूमा पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
33 He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn incense.
आफ्नो मनमा योजना बनाएअनुसार आठौँ महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा बेथेलमा आफूले निर्माण गरेको वेदीमा तिनले बलिदान चढाए । यसरी तिनले इस्राएलीहरूका निम्ति चाड ठहराए, र धूप बाल्न आफै वेदीमा उक्लेर जाने गरे ।
