< 2 Chronicles 11 >
1 And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam.
जब रहबाम यरूशलेममा आइपुगे, तब तिनले रहबामको राज्य पुनःर्स्थापित गराउनलाई इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नलाई यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका घरानाका एक लाख असी हजार योद्धाहरू भेला गरे ।
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,
तर परमप्रभुको वचन परमेश्वरका मानिस शमायाहकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
3 Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
“सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम, अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामिनका सबै इस्राएललाई यसो भन्,
4 The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers: let every man go back to his house, for this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the words of the Lord and were turned back from fighting against Jeroboam.
'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “आफ्नै दाजुभाइका विरुद्धमा तिमीहरूले आक्रमण गर्नु वा युद्ध गर्नुहुँदैन । हरेक व्यक्ति आआफ्नै घरमा फर्केर जानुपर्छ, किनकि मैले नै यसो हुन दिएको हो” ।’” यसैले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुका वचन पालन गरे, र यारोबामको विरुद्धमा आक्रमण गर्नबाट पछि हटे ।
5 Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah.
रहबाम यरूशलेममा बसोबास गरे र सुरक्षाको निम्ति यहूदामा सहरहरू निर्माण गरे ।
6 He was the builder of Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa
तिनले बेथहेलेम, एताम, तको,
7 And Beth-zur and Soco and Adullam
बेथ सर, सोखो, अदुल्लाम,
8 And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph
गात, मारेशा, जीप,
9 And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah
अदोरेम, लाकीश, आजेका,
10 And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron, walled towns in Judah and Benjamin.
सोरा, अय्यालोन र हेब्रोन निर्माण गरे । यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू यि नै थिए ।
11 And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine.
तिनले ती गढीहरू किल्लाबन्दी गरे र तिनमा कमाण्डरहरू नियुक्त गरे । त्यहाँ तिनले खानेकुरा, तेल र दाखमद्य पनि तिनमा सञ्चय गरिदिए ।
12 And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.
तिनले सबै सहरमा ढाल र भालाहरू राखे, र तिनीहरूलाई धेरै बलियो बनाए । यसरी यहूदा र बेन्यामीन तिनका भए ।
13 And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.
जम्मै इस्राएलमा भएका चारैतिरबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू आआफ्ना सिमानाहरूबाट तिनीकहाँ गए ।
14 For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;
किनकि लेवीहरूले यहूदा र यरूशलेममा आउनको निम्ति आफ्ना खर्कहरू र जग्गाजमिन छोडे, किनकि किनकि यारोबाम र तिनका छोराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई लखेटेका थिए, ताकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको पुजारीको काम गर्न पाएनन् ।
15 And he himself made priests for the high places, and for the images of he-goats and oxen which he had made.
डाँडाका अल्गा थानहरू र आफूले बनाएका बाख्रा र बाछाका मूर्तिहरू पूजा गर्न यारोबामले आफ्नै पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
16 And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई खोज्न आफ्नो हृदयहरू दिएका इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट मानिसहरू तिनीहरूको पछि आए । तिनीहरू परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरलाई बलिदान चढाउन यरूशलेममा आए ।
17 So they went on increasing the power of the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, strong for three years; and for three years they went in the ways of David and Solomon.
यसैले तिनीहरूले यहूदाको राज्य बलियो बनाए र तीन वर्षसम्म सोलोमनका छोरो रहबामलाई समर्थन गरे, र त्यस बेला तिनीहरू दाऊद र सोलोमनका चालअनुसार तीन वर्षसम्म हिंडे ।
18 And Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;
रहबामले आफ्नो निम्ति एउटी पत्नी ल्याएः तिनी महलत थिइन् । तिनका बुबा दाऊदका छोरा यरीमोत थिए र आमाचाहिं यिशैका छोरा एलीआबकी छोरी अबीहेल थिइन् ।
19 And she had sons by him, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
उनीले तिनको निम्ति छोराहरू जन्माइन्: येऊश, शमरयाह र साहम ।
20 And after her he took Maacah, the daughter of Absalom; and she had Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith by him.
महलतपछि तिनले अब्शालोमकी छोरी माकालाई विवाह गरे । उनले तिनको निम्ति अबिया, अत्तै, जीजा र शलोमीत जन्माइन् ।
21 Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, was dearer to Rehoboam than all his wives and his servant-wives: (for he had eighteen wives and sixty servant-wives, and was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
रहबामले आफ्ना सबै पत्नीहरू र उपपत्नीहरूलाई भन्दा धेरै माया माकालाई गरे (तिनले अठाह्र जना पत्नीहरू र साठी जना उपपत्नीहरू ल्याए, र तिनका अट्ठाईस जना छोरा र साठी जना छोरी थिए) ।
22 Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king.
रहबामले माकाका छोरा अबियालाई दाजुभाइका प्रमुख अगुवा नियुक्त गरे । तिनले उनलाई राजा बनाउने बिचार गरेका थिए ।
23 And in his wisdom he had his sons stationed in every walled town through all the lands of Judah and Benjamin; and he gave them a great store of food, and took wives for them.
रहबामले बुद्धिमानीपूर्वक राज्य गरे । तिनले आफ्ना सबै छोराहरूलाई यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका जम्मै सहरमा पठाए । तिनले उनीहरूका निम्ति प्रशस्त खानेकुरा दिए र तिनीहरूका निम्ति धेरै जना पत्नीहरू खोजिदिए ।
