2 Kings 7
1 Then Elisha said, Give ear to the word of the Lord: the Lord says, Tomorrow, about this time, a measure of good meal will be offered for the price of a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the market-place of Samaria.
एलीशाले भने, “परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्नुहोस् । परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'भोलि यतिबेला सामरियाको मूल ढोकामा एक ग्राम चाँदीमा डेढ माना पिठो र एक ग्राम चाँदीमा तिन माना जौ बिक्री हुनेछ' ।”
2 Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.
तब जुन अधिकारीको हातको भरमा राजा हिंड्थे तिनले परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले स्वर्गमा झ्यालहरू बनाउनुभयो भने पनि यसो हुन सक्ला र?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “तिम्रा आफ्नै आँखाले यसो भएको तिमी देख्नेछौ, तर तिमीले यो खान पाउनेछैनौ ।”
3 Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?
मूल ढोकाको ठिक बाहिर कुष्ठरोग लागेका चार जना मानिस थिए । तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “हामी नमरेसम्म हामी यहाँ किन बसिरहने?
4 If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.
हामी सहरमा जाऔं भनौं भने, सहरमा अनिकाल परेको छ र हामी त्यहाँ मर्नेछौं । हामी यहीँ बसौँ भने पनि हामी मर्नेछौँ । अब हामी अरामीहरूका सेना भएको ठाउँमा जाऔँ । तिनीहरूले हामीलाई जिउँदै राखे भने हामी जिउनेछौँ, र तिनीहरूले हामीलाई मारे भने हामी मर्नेछौँ ।”
5 So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.
त्यसैले अरामी छाउनीभित्र जानलाई तिनीहरू साँझपख उठे । जब तिनीहरू छाउनीको बाहिरी भागमा आइपुगे, त्यहाँ कोही पनि थिएन ।
6 For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.
किनकि परमप्रभुले अरामी सेनालाई रथहरू, घोडाहरूको होहल्लाजस्तै— अर्को ठुलो सेनाको होहल्ला सुन्ने पार्नुभएको थियो, अनि, अनि तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “इस्राएलका राजाले हित्तीहरू र मिश्रीहरूका राजाहरूलाई भाडामा लिएर हाम्रो विरुद्धमा आएका छन् ।”
7 So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.
त्यसैले सिपाहीहरू उठे र साँझमा नै भागे । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पालहरू, घोडाहरू, गधाहरू र छाउनीलाई जस्ताको तस्तै छाडे र आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउन भागे ।
8 And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.
जब कुष्टरोग लागेका मानिसहरू छाउनीको बाहिरी भागमा आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरू एउटा पालभित्र पसे र खानपान गरे अनि चाँदी, सुन र लुगाहरू उठाए र गएर ती लुकाए । तिनीहरू फर्केर आए र अर्को पालभित्र पसे र त्यहाँबाट पनि लुटका माल लगे र लुकाए ।
9 Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.
तब तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “हामीले ठिक गरिरहेका छैनौँ । आजको दिन शुभ खबरको दिन हो, तर हामी यस बारेमा मौन बसिरहेका छौँ । बिहन नभएसम्म हामीले पर्ख्यौं भने हामीमाथि दण्ड आइपर्नेछ । तब हामी अब जाऔं र राजाको घरानालाई भनौं ।”
10 So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.
त्यसैले तिनीहरू गए र सहरका पालेहरूलाई बोलाए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई यसो भने, “हामी अरामीहरूका छाउनीमा गयौँ तर त्यहाँ कोही थिएन, कुनै मानिसको आवाज त्यहाँ सुनिएन, तर त्यहाँ घोडाहरू र गधाहरू बाँधिएका थिए अनि पालहरू जस्ताको तस्तै थिए ।”
11 Then the door-keepers, crying out, gave the news to those inside the king's house.
तब पालेहरूले त्यो खबर ठुलो स्वरले फैलाए, अनि त्यसपछि भित्र राजाको घरानालाई पनि त्यो कुरा बताइयो ।
12 Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.
तब रातमा राजा उठे र आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “अब अरामीहरूले हामीलाई के गरेका छन् भनी म तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछु । हामी भोकाएका छौँ भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा छ । त्यसैले तिनीहरू छाउनीबाहिर खेतबारीमा लुक्न गएका छन् । तिनीहरू भन्दैछन्, 'जब तिनीहरू सहरबाहिर आउँछन्, तब हामी तिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै समात्ने छौँ, र सहरभित्र पस्नेछौँ’ ।”
13 And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.
राजाका एक जना सेवकले जवाफ दिए र भने, “केही मानिसहरूले सहरमा छाडिएका पाँचवटा घोडा लिएर जाऊन् । तिनीहरू इस्राएलका बाँकी जनसङ्ख्याजस्तै छन् अर्थात् अधिकांश मरिसकेका छन् । हामी तिनीहरूलाई पठाऊँ र हेरौँ।”
14 So they took two horsemen; and the king sent them after the army of the Aramaeans, saying, Go and see.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले घोडाहरूसँगै दुईवटा रथ लिए र राजाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर अरामीहरूको सेनाको पछि पठाए, “जाओ र हेर ।”
15 And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.
तिनीहरू यर्दन नदीसम्मै तिनीहरूका पछि गए र अरामीहरूले हतारमा फालेका लुगा र सामनहरूले सबै बाटो भरिएका थिए । त्यसैले सन्देशवाहकहरू फर्के र राजालाई बताइदिए ।
16 Then the people went out and took the goods from the tents of the Aramaeans. So a measure of good meal was to be had for the price of a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, as the Lord had said.
मानिसहरू बाहिर निस्के र अरामीहरूको छाउनी लुटे । त्यसैले जस्तो परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको थियो त्यस्तै भयो, एक ग्राम चाँदीमा डेढ माना पिठो र एक ग्राम चाँदीमा तिन माना जौ बेचियो ।
17 And the king gave authority to that captain, on whose arm he was supported, to have control over the doorway into the town; but he was crushed to death there under the feet of the people, as the man of God had said when the king went down to him.
जसको हातमा भर परेर राजा हिंड्थे ती अधिकारीलाई तिनले मूल ढोका हेर्ने जिम्मा दिएका थिए र मानिसहरूले तिनलाई मूल ढोकामा कुल्चे । राजाले परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई तिनको घरमा भेट्न जाँदा तिनले अगमवाणी गरेजस्तै तिनको मृत्यु भयो ।
18 So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.
त्यसैले त्यस्तै भयो जास्तो परमेश्वरका मानिसले राजालाई यसो भनेका थिए, “यति बेलातिर सामरियाको मूल ढोकामा एक ग्राम चाँदीमा तिन माना जौ र एक ग्राम चाँदीमा डेढ माना पिठो पाइनेछ ।”
19 And that captain said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said to him, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.
ती अधिकारीले परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई जवाफ दिएका थिए, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले स्वर्गमा झ्यालहरू बनाउनुभयो भने पनि यसो हुन सक्ला र?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिएका थिए, “तिम्रा आफ्नै आँखाले यसो भएको तिमी देख्नेछौ, तर तिमीले यो खान पाउनेछैनौ ।”
20 And such was his fate; for he was crushed to death under the feet of the people, in the doorway into the town.
तिनलाई ठिक त्यस्तै हुन आयो, किनकि मानिसहरूले तिनलाई मूल ढोकामा कुल्चे र तिनी मरे ।
