< 2 Chronicles 15 >
1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
परमेश्वरका आत्मा ओदेदका छोरा अजर्याहमाथि आउनुभयो ।
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Jehovah is with you while ye are with him; and if ye seek him he will be found of you, but if ye 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 Now for a long while Israel [was] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;
अब धेरै समयसम्म इस्राएल साँचो परमेश्वर, सिकाउने पुजारी र व्यवस्थाविना थियो ।
4 but in their trouble they turned to Jehovah the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found of them.
तर जब आफ्नो कष्टमा तिनीहरू परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरतिर फर्के र उहाँलाई खोजे, तब तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पाउन सके ।
5 And in those times there [was] no peace to him that went out nor to him that came in, but great disturbances were amongst all the inhabitants of the countries.
त्यसबेला यहाँबाट यात्रा गरेर टाढा जाने र यात्रा गरेर यहाँ आउने दुबैलाई शान्ति थिएन । बरू, देशमा बसोबास गर्ने सबैमाथि ठूलो संकष्ट थियो ।
6 And nation was broken against nation, and city against city; for God disturbed them with all manner of distress.
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 firm and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your deeds.
तर तपाईंहरू बलियो हुनुहोस्, आफ्ना हातहरू कमजोर हुन नदिनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंका कामहरूको प्रतिफल दिइनेछ ।”
8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah.
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, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell away to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Jehovah 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 And they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
यसैले आसाका राजकालको पन्ध्रौँ वर्षको तेस्रो महिनामा तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा एकसाथ भेला भए ।
11 And they sacrificed to Jehovah in that day, of the spoil that they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
त्यस दिन तिनीहरूले ल्याएको लूटका मालबाट परमप्रभुलाई सात सय साँढे र सात हजार भेडाहरू र बाख्राहरू बलिदान चढाए ।
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,
तिनीहरू आफ्ना सारा हृदय र आफ्ना सारा प्राणले परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्नलाई करार बाँधे ।
13 and that whoever would not seek Jehovah the God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether 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 And they swore to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
तिनीहरूले ठूलो सोर, चिच्च्याएर, र तुरहीहरू र नरसिङ्गा बजाउँदै परमप्रभुसँग शपथ खाए ।
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they took the oath with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them. And Jehovah gave them rest round about.
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 And also Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burned it in the valley Kidron.
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 But the high places were not removed from Israel; only, Asa's heart was perfect 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 things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
तिनले आफ्ना पिताले अर्पण गरेका सुन, चाँदी र भाँडाकुँडाहरू परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा ल्याए ।
19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
आसाको राजकालको पैँतिसौँ वर्षसम्म कुनै युद्ध भएन ।
