1 Kings 12
1 And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither were all Israel come together to make him king.
रहबाम शकेममा गए किनकि सारा इस्राएल तिनलाई राजा बनाउन शकेममा आउँदै थिए ।
2 But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt.
नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो कुरा सुन्दा (तिनी अझैसम्म मिश्रमा नै थिए जहाँ तिनी सोलोमन राजाको उपस्थितिबाट भागेर गएका थिए) तिनी मिश्रमा नै बसेका थिए ।
3 And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam came, and all the multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले यारोबामलाई बोलाइपठाए, अनि यारोबाम र इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय रहबामकहाँ आएर भने,
4 Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now therefore do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
“तपाईंका पिताले हाम्रो जुवा गरुङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो । अब तपाईंका पिताले हामीमाथि राखिदिनुभएको भारी र जुवा हलुङ्गो बनाइदिनुहोस्, अनि हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्ने छौँ ।
5 And he said to them: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone,
रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरू जानुहोस् र तिनदिनपछि फर्केर आउनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले मानिसहरू प्रस्थान गरे ।
6 King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people?
रहबाम राजाले आफ्ना पिता सोलोमन जीवित छँदा तिनको सामु खडा हुने पाका मानिसहरूसित सरसल्लाह लिए र भने, “यी मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिन तपाईंहरू मलाई के सल्लाह दिनुहुन्छ?”
7 They said to him: If thou wilt yield to this people today, and condescend to them, and grant their petition, and wilt speak gentle words to them, they will be thy servants always.
तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “आज तपाईं तिनीहरूका सेवक बनी तिनीहरूको सेवा गर्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई असल जवाफ दिनुभयो भने तिनीहरू सधैँ तपाईंका सेवकहरू हुने छन् ।”
8 But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and stood before him.
तर रहबामले यी पाका मानिसहरूले दिएको सल्लाहलाई बेवास्ता गरे, र आफूसँगै हुर्केर आफ्नो सामु खडा हुने युवाहरूसित सल्लाह लिए ।
9 And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke which thy father put upon us lighter?
तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “'तपाईंका पिताले हामीमाथि राखिदिनुभएको जुवा हलुको पारिदिनुहोस्' भनी बताउने मानिसहरूलाई मैले कस्तो जवाफ दिनुपर्छ भनी तिमीहरू मलाई के सल्लाह दिन्छौ?”
10 And the young men that had been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
आफूसँगै हुर्केका युवाहरूले रहबामलाई यसो भने, “तपाईंका पिता सोलोमनले तिनीहरूको जुवा गरुङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो र अब तपाईंले यसलाई हलुको बनाइदिनुपर्छ भनी बताउने मानिसहरूलाई गएर यसो भन्नुहोस्, ‘मेरो कान्छी औँला मेरा पिताको कम्मरभन्दा मोटो छ ।
11 And now my father put a, heavy yoke upon you, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
त्यसैले अब मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूमाथि गरुङ्गो जुवा बोकाउनुभएको थियो । म त्यो अझै गरुङ्गो पारिदिने छु । मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्रा लगाउनुभएको थियो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले डस्न लगाउने छु' ।”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying: Come to me again the third day.
त्यसैले तेस्रो दिनमा यारोबाम र सारा मानिस रहबामकहाँ आए । किनकि राजाले यसो भनी निर्देशन दिएका थिए, “तेस्रो दिनमा मकहाँ फर्केर आओ ।”
13 And the king answered the people roughly, leaving the counsel of the old men, which they had given him,
राजाले मानिसहरूलाई कडा तवरले जवाफ दिए, र तिनले पाका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई दिएको सल्लाहको बेवास्ता गरे ।
14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
तिनले युवाहरूको सल्लाह मानी तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूमाथि गरुङ्गो जुवा बोकाउनुभएको थियो । म त्यो अझै गरुङ्गो पारिदिने छु । मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्रा लगाउनुभएको थियो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले डस्न लगाउने छु ।”
15 And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite, to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
यसरी राजाले मानिसहरूको कुरा सुनेनन् किनकि शीलोका अहियाहद्वारा नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई उहाँले भन्नुभएको वचन पुरा होस् भनेर परमप्रभुले यस्तो परिस्थिति ल्याउनुभएको थियो ।
16 Then the people seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel, now David look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings.
जब सारा इस्राएलको कुरा राजाले नसुनेको तिनीहरूले देखे तब मानिसहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “दाऊदमा हाम्रो के हिस्सा छ र? यिशैका छोरामा हाम्रो कुनै उत्तराधिकार छैन! हे इस्राएली हो, आ-आफ्ना पालमा जाओ । हे दाऊद, तिमी आफ्नै घर सम्हाल ।” यसरी इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना पालमा फर्केर गए ।
17 But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them.
तर रहबाम यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्ने इस्राएलीहरूका राजा बने ।
18 Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem:
तब रहबाम राजाले बेगार काममा लगाउने मानिसहरूका जिम्मावाल अदोनीरामलाई पठाए, तर सारा इस्राएलले तिनलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे । रहबाम राजा आफ्नो रथमा चढेर झट्टै यरूशलेममा भागे ।
19 And Israel revolted from the house of David, unto this day.
त्यसैले आजको दिनसम्म इस्राएल दाऊदको घरानाको विरुद्धमा बागी बनेको छ ।
20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only.
यारोबाम फर्के भनी जब सारा इस्राएलले सुने तिनीहरूको आफ्नो सभामा तिनलाई बोलाउनपठाइ तिनलाई सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए । यहूदाको कुलबाहेक दाऊदको परिवारलाई पछ्याउने कोही भएन ।
21 And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred four-score thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam the son of Solomon.
जब रहबाम यरूशलेममा आए तिनले यहूदाको सबै घराना र बेन्यामीन कुललाई भेला गरे । इस्राएलको घरानाको विरुद्धमा लडी सोलोमनका छोरा रहबामको राज्यलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्न त्यहाँ १,८०,००० चुनिएका योद्धा जम्मा भएका थिए ।
22 But the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
तर परमेश्वरका जन शमायाहकहाँ परमेश्वरको वचन आयो,
23 Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying:
“सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका सम्पूर्ण घरानासाथै बाँकी सबै मानिसलाई भन्,
24 Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them.
'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः आफ्ना दाजुभाइ इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई तिमीहरूले आक्रमण नगर्नू वा तिनीहरूसित लडाइँ नगर्नू । हरेक मानिस आ-आफ्नो घरमा फर्केर जाओस् किनकि यो काम मैले गरेको हुँ' ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुने र तिनीहरू फर्केर आ-आफ्नो बाटो लागे । यसरी तिनीहरूले उहाँको वचन पालन गरे ।
25 And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence he built Phanuel.
तब यारोबामले एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा शकेमलाई मजबुत पारी तिनी त्यहीँ बसे । तिनी त्यहाँबाट गएर तिनले पनीएल सहर बनाए ।
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David,
यारोबामले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा सोचे, “अब यो राज्य दाऊदको घरानामा फर्कने छ ।
27 If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.
यी मानिसहरू यरूशलेमस्थित परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा बलिदान चढाउन गए भने यी मानिसहरूका ह्रदय तिनीहरूका मालिक अर्थात् यहूदाका राजा रहबामकहाँ फर्कने छन् । मलाई मारेर तिनीहरू यहूदाका राजा रहबामकहाँ फर्केने छन् ।”
28 And finding out a device he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
यसैले राजा यारोबामले सरसल्लाह लिई सुनका दुईवटा बाछा बनाए । तिनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई यरूशलेमसम्म जान निकै टाढा हुन्छ । हे इस्राएली हो, तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट ल्याउने देवताहरू यी नै हुन् ।”
29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan:
तिनले एउटालाई बेथेलमा र अर्कोलाई दानमा राखे ।
30 And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf as far as Dan.
यसरी यही कार्य नै पाप बन्यो । मानिसहरू एक ठाउँदेखि अर्को ठाउँमा र दानसम्मै पुजा गर्न गए ।
31 And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
यारोबामले डाँडामा पुजा गर्ने ठाउँहरू बनाए, र तिनले सबै मानिसका बिचबाट पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे जो लेवीका छोराहरूमध्येका थिएनन् ।
32 And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made.
आठौँ महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा यहूदामा जस्तै यारोबामले एउटा चाड ठहराए, र तिनी वेदीमा गए । तिनले बेथेलमा आफूले बनाएका बाछाहरूका निम्ति बलिदान चढाए, र तिनले बेथेलमा आफूले बनाएका डाँडाका ठाउँहरूमा पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
33 And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went upon the altar to burn incense.
आफ्नो मनमा योजना बनाएअनुसार आठौँ महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा बेथेलमा आफूले निर्माण गरेको वेदीमा तिनले बलिदान चढाए । यसरी तिनले इस्राएलीहरूका निम्ति चाड ठहराए, र धूप बाल्न आफै वेदीमा उक्लेर जाने गरे ।
