< 2 Chronicles 13 >

1 In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah became king of Judah,
राजा यरोबामको अठारौँ वर्षमा, अबियाले यहूदामा राज्य गर्न सुरु गरे ।
2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
तिनले यरूशलेममा तीन वर्ष राज्‍य गरे । तिनकी आमा गिबाका उरीएलकी छोरी माका थिइन्‌ । अबिया र यारोबामका बीचमा युद्ध भयो ।
3 Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor.
अबिया चार लाख छानिएका बलिया र वीर योद्धाहरू लिएर युद्ध गर्न गए । यारोबामले छानिएका बलिया र वीर आठ लाख योद्धाहरू लडाँइको निम्ति तैनाथ गरे ।
4 Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
अबिया एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा भएको समारैम डाँडामा खडा भए र यसो भने, “हे यारोबाम र सारा इस्राएल हो, मेरो कुरा सुन!
5 Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt?
परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरले औपचारिक करारद्वारा सधैँको निम्‍ति दाऊद र तिनका सन्‍तानलाई इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न दिनुभएको कुरा के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?
6 Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
तापनि दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनका सेवक नबातका छोरा यारोबाम उठ्‍यो र आफ्‍ना मालिकको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
7 Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.
केही बेकम्‍मा बदमाशहरू त्‍यसको साथमा भेला भए । तिनीहरू सोलोमनका छोरा रहबामको विरुद्धमा आए, जति बेला रहबाम कलिलै र अनुभव नभएको र तिनीहरूको सामना गर्न नसक्‍ने अवस्थामा थिए ।
8 And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.
यसैले तिमीहरूसँग एउटा ठूलो फौज भएको हुनाले र तिमीहरूसँग देवताहरू हुनलाई यारोबामले बनाएका यी सुनका बाछाहरू तिमीहरूसँग भएको हुनाले, अब तिमीहरू दाऊदका सन्‍तानहरूका हातमा भएको परमप्रभुका राज्‍यको विरुद्धमा खडा हुने योजना गर्दछौ ।
9 But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
तर के तिमीहरूले हारूनको वंशका परमप्रभुका पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई लखेट्‍ने र अरू देशका मानिसहरूले गरेझैं आफ्‍नै पुजारीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरेनौ र? जुनसुकै मानिस पुजारी भएर सेवा गर्नलाई एउटा बाछो र सात वटा भेडा लिएर आउँछ, त्यो जो देवताहरू नै होइनन्, त्यसको पुजारी बन्छ ।
10 But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not forsaken Him; the priests who minister to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.
तर हाम्रा बारेमा त, परमप्रभु नै हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍छ, र हामीले उहाँलाई त्‍यागेका छैनौं । हामीसँग परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्ने हारूनका सन्तानहरू पुजारीको रूपमा छन्, र आफ्नो काम गर्ने लेवीहरू छन् ।
11 Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have forsaken Him.
तिनीहरू हरेक बिहान र बेलुकी परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति होमबलि र सुगन्‍धित धूप चढ़ाउँछन्‌ । पवित्र टेबलमा उपस्‍थितिको रोटीलाई मिलाएर राख्‍ने काम पनि तिनीहरू गर्छन् । तिनीहरू बेलुकैपिच्‍छे सुनको सामदानमा भएका बत्तीहरू बाल्‍दछन्‌ । हामी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरका आज्ञा पालना गर्छौं, तर तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई त्यागेका छौ ।
12 Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.”
हेर, परमेश्‍वर हाम्रा शिरमा हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँका पुजारीहरू तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा खतराको संकेत दिनलाई तुरही लिएर यहाँ छन् । हे इस्राएलका मानिसहरू हो, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध नगर, किनकि तिमीहरू सफल हुनेछैनौ ।”
13 Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
तर यारोबामले आफ्‍नो फौजको एक दल पछिल्‍तिर गएर ढुकिबस्‍नलाई पठाएका थिए, र तिनको फौज चाहिं यहूदा, र तिनीहरूको पछाडि ढुकेर बसेका फौज थिए ।
14 When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets,
जब यहूदाका मानिसहरूले पछाडि हेरे, तब हेर, लडाइँ आफ्‍नो अगाडि र पछाडि दुवैतिर भएको देखे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गरे, र पुजारीहरूले आफ्‍ना तुरहीहरू फुके ।
15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
त्यसपछि यहूदाका मानिसहरूले ठुलो सोरले कराए । जब तिनीहरूले ठुलो सोरले कराए, तब परमेश्‍वरले यारोबाम र सबै इस्राएललाई अबिया र यहूदाको सामुन्‍ने प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।
16 So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू यहूदाका सामुन्‍नेबाट भागे, र परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई यहूदाको हातमा सुम्‍पिदिनुभयो ।
17 Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.
अबिया र तिनका फौजले ठुलो सङ्‍ख्‍यामा तिनीहरूको हत्या गरे । इस्राएलका पाँच लाख चुनिएका मानिसहरू मरेर ढले ।
18 Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
यसरी इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई त्‍यस बेला पराजित गरियो । यहूदाका मानिसहरूले जिते, किनभने तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरमाथि भरोसा गरे ।
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.
अबियाले यारोबामलाई खेदे । तिनले उनीबाट बेथेल र त्‍यसका बस्‍ती, येशना र त्‍यसका बस्‍ती, अनि एप्रोन र त्‍यसका बस्‍तीसमेत कब्‍जा गरे ।
20 Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.
अबियाको शासनको समयमा यारोबामले फेरि आफ्‍नो शक्ति कदापि प्राप्‍त गर्न सकेनन्‌ । परमप्रभुले उनलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो, र उनी मरे ।
21 But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
तर अबियाले शक्तिशाली भए । तिनले आफ्नो निम्ति चौध जना पत्‍नी ल्‍याए, र बाइस जना छोरा र सोह्र जना छोरीका पिता भए ।
22 Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.
अबिया बाँकी कामहरू र तिनका व्यवहार र वचनहरू इद्दो अगमवक्ताको इतिहासमा लेखिएका छन्‌ ।
