< Kings III 20 >
1 And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshing floor of Achaab king of Samaria.
अरामका राजा बेन-हददले आफ्ना सबै सेनालाई जम्मा गरे । तिनीसित बत्तिस स-साना राजा, घोडाहरू र रथहरू थिए । तिनी माथि उक्लेर सामरियालाई घेरा हाली यसको विरुद्धमा लडे ।
2 And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give you another vineyard better than it; or if it please you, I will give you money, the price of this your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
तिनले इस्राएलका राजा आहाबको सहरमा सन्देशवाकहरू पठाएर भने, “बेन-हदद यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, '
3 And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.
तपाईंका सुन र चाँदी मेरा हुन् । साथै, तपाईंका सबैभन्दा राम्रा-राम्रा पत्नीहरू र बालबच्चा मेरै हुन्' ।”
4 And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
इस्राएलका राजाले भने, “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, तपाईंले भन्नुभएझैँ म र मेरा सबै तपाईंकै हुन् ।”
5 And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] your spirit troubled, and [why] do you eat no bread?
सन्देशवाकहरू फर्केर आएर भने, “बेन-हदद यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तपाईंले तपाईंका चाँदी, तपाईंका सुन, तपाईंका पत्नीहरू र बालबच्चा मलाई दिनुपर्छ भनी मैले समाचार पठाएँ ।
6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me your vineyard for money; or if you will, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.
तर म भोली यसै बेलातिर मेरा दासहरूलाई पठाउने छु, र तिनीहरूले तपाईंको घर र तपाईंका अधिकारीहरूका घरहरू खोजतलास गर्ने छन् । तिनीहरूलाई इच्छा लागेअनुसार तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हातले ती ल्याउने छन्' ।”
7 And Jezabel his wife said to him, Do you now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be your own [master], and I will give you the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
तब इस्राएलका राजाले देशका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई जम्मा गरी भने, “यी मानिसले त सङ्कष्ट ल्याउन खोज्दै छन् भनी ख्याल गर्नुहोस् । मेरा पत्नीहरू, बालबच्चा, चाँदी र सुन लैजान तिनले मकहाँ समाचार पठाएका छन्, तर मैले इन्कार गरिदिएको छु ।”
8 And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who lived with Nabuthai.
सारा धर्म-गुरु र मानिसहरूले आहाबलाई भने, “तिनको कुरा नसुन्नुहोस्, वा तिनको आज्ञामा सहमति नजनाउनुहोस् ।”
9 And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place amongst the people.
त्यसैले आहाबले बेन-हददका सन्देशवाहकरूलाई भने, “मेरा मालिक राजालाई भनिदेऊ, 'तपाईंले पहिलो पटक आफ्नो दासमार्फत भन्नुभएको हरेक कुरामा म सहमत हुन्छु, तर यो दोस्रो मागलाई चाहिँ स्वीकार गर्दिनँ' ।” त्यसैले सन्देशवाहकरू त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरे र बेन-हददको निम्ति यो जवाफ लिएर गए ।
10 And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
तब बेन-हददले आहाबलाई जवाफ पठाए, “सामरियाको बाँकी धूलो मेरो हरेक मानिसलाई एक-एक मुट्ठी दिन पुग्यो भने पनि देवताहरूले मलाई त्यस्तै वा त्योभन्दा कठोर व्यवहार गरून् ।”
11 And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
इस्राएलका राजाले जवाफ दिए, “बेन-हददलाई भन्, 'भर्खरै कवच भिर्ने मानिसले त्यो फुकाल्ने मानिसले झैँ घमण्ड गर्नुहुँदैन' ।”
12 And they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place amongst the people.
बेन-हदद र तिनी मुनिका राजाहरूले तिनीहरूका पालहरूमा मद्य पिइरहँदा तिनले यो समाचार सुने । बेन-हददले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा दिए, “युद्धको लागि पङ्क्तिबद्ध होओ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू त्यस सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्न तयार भए ।
13 And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, You have blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
तब हेर, एक जना अगमवक्ता इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ आई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'के तैँले यो विशाल सेनालाई देख्दै छस्? हेर्, म आज यसलाई तेरो हातमा सुम्पिदिने छु, र म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैँले थाहा पाउने छस्' ।”
14 And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
आहाबले जवाफ दिए, “कोद्वारा?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जिल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरूद्वारा ।” तब आहाबले भने, “कसले युद्धको थालनी गर्ने छ?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “तैँले ।”
15 And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to you: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
तब आहाबले जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरूलाई भेला गराए । तिनीहरू दुई सय बत्तिस जना थिए । त्यसपछि तिनले इस्राएलका सबै सिपाहीलाई जम्मा गरे । तिनीहरू सात हजार थिए ।
16 And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he tore his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
तिनीहरू मध्य दिनमा बाहिर निस्के । बेन-हदद र तिनको समर्थन गर्ने तिनीमुनिका बत्तिस जना राजा पालमा मद्य पिएर मातिरहेका थिए ।
17 And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
पहिले जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जिल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरू अगाडि बढे । बेन-हददद्वारा पठाइएका चेवा गर्ने मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “सामरियाबाट मानिसहरू आउँदै छन् ।”
18 Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down there to take possession of it.
बेन-हददले भने, “तिनीहरू मेलमिलाप वा युद्ध जेसुकैको लागि आएको भए तापनि तिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै ल्याओ ।”
19 And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord, Forasmuch as you have slain and taken possession, therefore thus says the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick your blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in your blood.
त्यसैले जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जिल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरू सहरबाट बाहिर गए, र सेना तिनीहरूको पछिपछि लागे ।
20 And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast you found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [you]: because you have wickedly sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
हरेकले आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीलाई मार्यो । अरामीहरू भागे, र इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई खेदे । अरामका राजा बेन-हदद केही घोडचढीहरूसँगै घोडामा चढेर उम्के ।
21 behold, I bring evil upon you: and I will kindle a fire after you, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
तब इस्राएलका राजा बाहिर निस्केर घोडाहरू र रथहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे, र अरामीहरूको ठुलो संहार गरे ।
22 And I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith you have provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
त्यसैले अगमवक्ता इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ आई भने, “जानुहोस्, र आफैलाई बलियो पार्नुहोस्, अनि तपाईंले जे गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ त्यसलाई बुझेर योजना बनाउनुहोस् किनकि नयाँ वर्षमा अरामका राजा तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आउने छन् ।”
23 And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
अरामका राजाका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तिनीहरूका ईश्वर त पहाडहरूका ईश्वर रहेछन् । त्यसकारण तिनीहरू हामीभन्दा शक्तिशाली भएका हुन् । तर अब तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा मैदानमा लडौँ, र निश्चय नै हामी तिनीहरूभन्दा शक्तिशाली हुने छौँ ।
24 Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
त्यसैले तपाईंले यसो गर्नुहोस्, 'सबै राजालाई तिनीहरूका पदबाट हटाई तिनीहरूको सट्टामा सेनाका नायकहरूलाई राख्नुहोस् ।
25 But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
तपाईंले गुमाउनुभएका सेनाजस्तै सेना तयार पार्नुहोस् । घोडाको लागि घोडा र रथको लागि रथ तयार पार्नुहोस् । यसरी हामी तिनीहरूसित मैदानमा लड्न सक्छौँ । तब निश्चय नै हामी तिनीहरूभन्दा शक्तिशाली हुने छौँ ।” त्यसैले बेन-हददले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुनेर त्यसैअनुसार गरे ।
26 And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
नयाँ वर्षको थालनीपछि बेन-हददले अरामीहरूलाई जम्मा गरी इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा लड्न अपेकमा गए ।
27 And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and tore his garment, and girded sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he struck Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
इस्राएलीहरू पनि भेला भए, र अरामीहरूको विरुद्धमा लड्न तिनीहरूलाई खानेकुरा दिइयो । इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूको सामुन्ने छाउनी हाले, र तिनीहरू बाख्राका दुईवटा स-साना बगालजस्तै थिए, जब कि अरामीहरूले पुरै मैदानलाई ढाकेका थिए ।
28 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
तब एक जना परमेश्वरका जन नजिक आई इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'अरामीहरूले परमप्रभु पहाडहरूका ईश्वर हुनुहुँदोरहेछ, उपत्यकाको ईश्वर होइन रहेछ भनी भनेकाले म यो विशाल सेनालाई तेरो हातमा सुम्पिदिने छु, र म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैँले थाहा पाउने छस्' ।”
29 Hast you seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
त्यसैले सेनाहरूले सात दिनसम्म एक-अर्काको सामुन्ने छाउनी हाले । अनि सातौँ दिनमा युद्ध सुरु भयो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले एकै दिनमा एक लाख पैदल अरामीलाई मारे ।
30 And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
बाँकी रहेकाहरू अपेक सहरभित्र भागे, र सत्ताइस हजारमाथि पर्खाल ढलेर बज्र्यो । बेन-हदद भागेर सहरको भित्री कोठामा गए ।
31 And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
बेन-हददका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “अब हेर्नुहोस्, इस्राएलको घरानाका राजाहरू कृपालु छन् भनी हामीले सुनेका छौँ । हाम्रा कम्मरको वरिपरि भाङ्ग्रा लगाएर शिरका वरिपरि फेटा बाँधेर इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ जाऔँ । सायद तिनले तपाईंको ज्यान जोगाउनुहुने छ ।”
32 Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your children are mine.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना कम्मरवरिपरि भाङ्ग्रा लगाए, र शिरमा फेटा बाँधे अनि इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ आई भने, 'तपाईंका दास बेन-हददले भन्नुभएको छ, 'कृपया, मलाई बाँच्न दिनुहोस्' ।” आहाबले भने, “के तिनी अझै जिउँदै छन्? तिनी त मेरा भाइ हुन् ।”
33 And the king of Israel answered and said, As you have said, my lord, O king, I am your, and all mine [also].
अब ती मानिसहरूले राजाबाट कुनै चिन्ह सुन्ने अपेक्षा गर्दै थिए । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले झट्टै उत्तर दिए, “ज्यू, हजुरका दास बेन-हदद जीवितै हुनुहुन्छ ।” तब बेन-हददले भने, “गएर तिनलाई ल्याओ ।” तब बेन-हदद तिनीकहाँ आए, र आहाबले तिनलाई आफ्नो रथमा चढाए ।
34 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to you, saying, You shall give me your silver and your gold, and your wives and your children.
बेन-हददले आहाबलाई भने, “मेरा पिताले तपाईंका पिताबाट लिनुभएका सहरहरू म तपाईंलाई पुनर्स्थापित गरिदिने छु, र मेरा पिताले सामरियामा गरेझैँ तपाईंले आफ्नो लागि दमस्कसमा बजारहरू स्थापित गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।” आहाबले जवाफ दिए, “यो सम्झौतासहित म तिमीलाई छाडिदिने छु ।” त्यसैले आहाबले तिनीसित सम्झौता गरी तिनलाई जान दिए ।
35 For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to you, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
अगमवक्ताका छोराहरूमद्ये कोही एक जनाले आफ्नो कुनै अगमवक्ता साथीलाई परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा भने, “मलाई हिर्काऊ ।” तर ती मानिसले तिनलाई हिर्काउन इन्कार गरे ।
36 And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
तब अगमवक्ताले आफ्ना मित्र अगमवक्तालाई भने, “तिमीले परमप्रभुको कुरा नमानेकाले तिमी मबाट जानेबित्तिकै एउटा सिंहले तिमीलाई मार्ने छ ।” ती मानिस प्रस्थान गर्नेबित्तिकै एउटा सिंह आएर तिनलाई मारिदियो ।
37 And the elders and all the people said to him, Listen not, and consent not.
तब अगमवक्ताले अर्को मानिसलाई फेला पारी तिनलाई भने, “मलाई हिर्काऊ ।”
38 And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that you have sent to your servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
त्यसैले ती मानिसले तिनलाई हिर्काई घाइते बनाए । तब अगमवक्ता प्रस्थान गरे र बाटोनेर राजाको प्रतीक्षा गरे । तिनले आँखामा पट्टी बाँधेर गुप्त भेष बनाएका थिए ।
39 And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
राजा त्यही बाटो भएर आउँदा अगमवक्ताले राजालाई बोलाएर भने, “तपाईंका दास युद्धको मुखैमा गएका थिए, र एक जना सिपाहीले मलाई रोकेर मकहाँ एक जना मानिस लिएर आई मलाई भन्यो, 'यो मानिसको रक्षा गर । कुनै कारणले गर्दा यो मानिस हरायो भने यसको सट्टामा तिमीले आफ्नो प्राण दिनुपर्ने छ वा तिमीले करिब चौँतिस किलोग्राम चाँदी तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।'
40 And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
तर तपाईंका दास यताउता जाँदैमा व्यस्त भएकाले त्यो मानिस भाग्यो ।” तब इस्राएलका राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तेरो दण्ड यही हुने छ जुन तँ आफैले निधो गरिस् ।”
41 And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
तब ती अगमवक्ताले झट्टै आफ्ना आँखाबाट पट्टी निकाले, र तिनी त एक अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी इस्राएलका राजाले चिने ।
42 And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus says the Lord, Hast you seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into your hands; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
अगमवक्ताले राजालाई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले मृत्युदण्ड तोकेको मानिसलाई तैँले आफ्नो हातबाट फुत्किन दिएकोले त्यसको प्राणको सट्टा तेरो प्राण र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूको सट्टा तेरा मानिसहरू हुने छन्' ।”
43 And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus says the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, You.
त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजा उदास भए, र रिसाएर सामरियामा आफ्नो महलमा आइपुगे ।
