< Chronicles II 12 >

1 And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
यस्‍तो भयो, जब रहबामको राज्‍य स्थापित भयो र तिनी शक्तिशाली भए, तब तिनले परमप्रभुको व्‍यवस्‍था त्‍यागे— र तिनीसँगै जम्मै इस्राएलले पनि त्यागे ।
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,
रहबाम राजाको शासनकालको पाँचौं वर्षमा मिश्रदेशका राजा शीशक यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध आए, किनभने मानिसहरू परमप्रभुप्रति अविश्‍वासी भएका थिए।
3 with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
तिनी बाह्र सय रथ र साठी हजार घोडचढी लिएर आए । तिनीसँग मिश्रदेशबाट आएका असंख्‍य फौज हरूः लिबियाली, सुक्‍किया र कूशीहरू आए ।
4 And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
तिनले यहूदाका किल्‍लाबन्‍दी गरिएका सहरहरू जिते र यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
5 And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, You have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.
शीशकको कारणले यरूशलेममा भेला भएका रहबाम र यहूदाका अगुवाहरू भएको ठाउँमा शमयाह अगमवक्ता आए । शमायाहले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ: ‘तिमीहरूले मलाई त्‍यागेका छौ, यसैले मैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई शीशकको हातमा सुम्‍पिदिएको छु’ ।”
6 And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
तब इस्राएलका शासकहरू र राजाले आफूलाई विनम्र बनाए र भने, “परमप्रभु धर्मी हुनुहुन्‍छ ।”
7 And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
जब तिनीहरूले आफूलाई विनम्र तुल्‍याएका छन् भनी जब परमप्रभुले देख्‍नुभयो, तब परमप्रभुको वचन शमायाहकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “तिनीहरूले आफूलाई विनम्र तुल्‍याएका छन् । म तिनीहरूलाई विनाश गर्नेछैनँ । म तिनीहरूलाई केही हदसम्म उद्धार गर्नेछु, र शीशकको हातद्वारा यरूशलेममा म आफ्‍नो क्रोध खन्‍याउनेछैनँ ।
8 Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.
तापनि तिनीहरू त्‍यसका सेवकहरू हुनेछन्‌ ताकि मेरो सेवा गर्नु र अरू देशका शासकहरूका सेवा गर्नमा के भिन्‍नता रहेछ सो तिनीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछन्‌ ।”
9 So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.
यसैले मिश्रदेशका राजा शीशक यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध आए र परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिर कोषहरू र राजाको महलका भण्‍डारका धन-सम्पत्ति लुटेर लगे । तिनले हरेक कुरा लगे । सोलोमनले बनाएका सुनका ढालहरू पनि तिनले लगे ।
10 And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
रहबाम राजाले तिनको सट्टामा काँसाका ढालहरू बनाए र राजाका महलको ढोकाहरूका रक्षा गर्ने रक्षकहरूका कमाण्‍डरहरूका जिम्‍मामा दिए ।
11 And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
जब राजा परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरभित्र पस्‍थे, तब रक्षकहरू ती बोक्थे । अनि तिनीहरूले रक्षक बस्‍ने कोठामा फेरि ती फर्काउँथे ।
12 And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.
जब रहबामले आफूलाई विनम्र तुल्‍याए, तब तिनलाइ पुरै नष्‍ट नगर्नलाई परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीबाट हट्यो । यसका अतिरिक्त, यहूदामा केही असल कुरा अझै बाँकी थियो ।
13 So king Roboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.
यसरी रहबाम राजाले यरूशलेममा आफ्नो राजकाज बलियो बनाए, र यसरी तिनले राज्य गरे । रहबामले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी एकचालीस वर्षका थिए, र परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सारा कुलबाट आफ्‍नो नाउँ राख्‍नका निम्‍ति चुन्‍नुभएको सहर यरूशलेममा तिनले सत्र वर्ष राज्‍य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अम्‍मोनी स्‍त्री नामा थियो ।
14 And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
तिनले जे खराब थियो त्‍यही गरे, किनभने तिनले आफ्नो हृदय परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न लगाएनन् ।
15 And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.
रहबामको राजकालका घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्‍त्‍यसम्‍म शमायाह अगमवक्ता र दर्शी इद्दोका इतिहासका पुस्‍तकहरूमा समेत लेखिएका छैनन्‌ र, जसमा वंशक्रमहरू र रहबाम र यारोबामका बीचमा निरन्‍तर भएको युद्धका अभिलेख पनि राखिएको छन्?
16 And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.
रहबाम आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र दाऊदको सहरमा गाडिए । तिनका छोरा अबिया तिनका ठाउँमा राजा भए ।
