2 Chronicles 15
1 Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.
परमेश्वरका आत्मा ओदेदका छोरा अजर्याहमाथि आउनुभयो ।
2 So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
तिनी आसालाई भेट गर्न गए र तिनलाई भने, “ए आसा, यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका सबै जना, मेरा कुरा सुन्नुहोस्: जब तपाईंहरू परमप्रभुसँग रहनुहुन्छ, तब उहाँ पनि तपाईंहरूसँग हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंहरूले उहाँलाई खोज्नुभयो भने, तपाईंहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्टाउनुहुनेछ । तर तपाईंहरूले उहाँलाई त्याग्नुभयो भने उहाँले पनि तपाईंहरूलाई त्याग्नुहुनेछ ।
3 For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without the law.
अब धेरै समयसम्म इस्राएल साँचो परमेश्वर, सिकाउने पुजारी र व्यवस्थाविना थियो ।
4 But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them.
तर जब आफ्नो कष्टमा तिनीहरू परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरतिर फर्के र उहाँलाई खोजे, तब तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पाउन सके ।
5 In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts.
त्यसबेला यहाँबाट यात्रा गरेर टाढा जाने र यात्रा गरेर यहाँ आउने दुबैलाई शान्ति थिएन । बरू, देशमा बसोबास गर्ने सबैमाथि ठूलो संकष्ट थियो ।
6 Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity.
तिनीहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिए, राष्ट्रको विरूद्ध राष्ट्र, र सहरको विरूद्ध सहर, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सबै किसिमका दु: खले समस्यामा पार्नुभयो ।
7 But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”
तर तपाईंहरू बलियो हुनुहोस्, आफ्ना हातहरू कमजोर हुन नदिनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंका कामहरूको प्रतिफल दिइनेछ ।”
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple.
जब आसाले यी कुरा, ओदेदका छोरा अजर्याह अगमवक्ताका अगमवाणी सुने, तब तिनको साहस बढ्यो, र यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका सारा देश र तिनले कब्जा गरेका एफ्राइमका पहाडी देशका सहरहरूबाट घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू सबै हटाइदिए, र तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका दलानको अगि भएको परमप्रभुको वेदी पनि मरम्मत गरे ।
9 And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
तिनले सारा यहूदा र बेन्यामीन र एफ्राइम, मनश्शे र शिमियोनबाट तिनीहरूसँग बस्नेहरूलाई भेला गरे । किनभने परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वर तिनीसँग हुनुभएको तिनीहरूले देखेर इस्राएलबाट तिनीहरू धेरै सङ्ख्यामा तिनीकहाँ आए ।
10 So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
यसैले आसाका राजकालको पन्ध्रौँ वर्षको तेस्रो महिनामा तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा एकसाथ भेला भए ।
11 At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back.
त्यस दिन तिनीहरूले ल्याएको लूटका मालबाट परमप्रभुलाई सात सय साँढे र सात हजार भेडाहरू र बाख्राहरू बलिदान चढाए ।
12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.
तिनीहरू आफ्ना सारा हृदय र आफ्ना सारा प्राणले परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्नलाई करार बाँधे ।
13 And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
अनि परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई नखोज्ने जोसुकैलाई मारिनुपर्छ भन्ने कुरामा तिनीहरूले सहमती गरेः चाहे त्यो व्यक्ति सानो होस् वा ठूलो होस्, चाहे पुरुष होस् वा स्त्री होस् ।
14 They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.
तिनीहरूले ठूलो सोर, चिच्च्याएर, र तुरहीहरू र नरसिङ्गा बजाउँदै परमप्रभुसँग शपथ खाए ।
15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
सारा यहूदा शपथमा आनन्दित भयो, किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पूरा हृदयले शपथ खाएका थिए, र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सारा इच्छाले परमेश्वरलाई खोजे, र तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पाउन सके । तिनीहरूका वरिपरि सबैतिरबाट परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई शान्ति दिनुभयो ।
16 King Asa also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
तिनले आफ्नी हजुरआमा माकालाई पनि राजमाताको पदबाट हटाइदिए, किनभने तिनले अशेरा देवीको खम्बोबाट घिनलाग्दो मूर्ति बनाएकी थिइन् । आसाले त्यो घिनलाग्दो मूर्तिलाई काटेर ढालिदिए, त्यसलाई धुलोपिठो पारे र किद्रोन खोल्सामा जलाइदिए ।
17 The high places were not removed from Israel, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted all his days.
तर डाँडाहरूमा भएका अल्गा थानहरू इस्राएलबाट हटाइएनन् । तापनि आसाको जीवनकालभरि तिनको हृदय विश्वासयोग्य रहिरह्यो ।
18 And he brought into the house of God the silver and gold articles that he and his father had dedicated.
तिनले आफ्ना पिताले अर्पण गरेका सुन, चाँदी र भाँडाकुँडाहरू परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा ल्याए ।
19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
आसाको राजकालको पैँतिसौँ वर्षसम्म कुनै युद्ध भएन ।
