< 1 Kings 21 >
1 And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard near the palace of Achab king of Samaria.
यो केही समय बितेपछिको कुरा हो । सामरियाका राजा आहाबको दरबार नजिकै यिजरेलमा यिजरेली नाबोतको एउटा दाखबारी थियो ।
2 And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house, and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
आहाबले नाबोतलाई यसो भने, “सागबारी लगाउन मलाई तिम्रो दाखबारी देऊ किनकि यो मेरो घर नजिकै छ । यसको सट्टामा म तिमीलाई अझै राम्रो दाखबारी दिने छु वा तिमीले चाह्यौ भने म तिमीलाई यसको दाम तिरिदिने छु ।”
3 Naboth answered him: The Lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
नाबोतले आहाबलाई जवाफ दिए, “मेरा पुर्खाहरूका पैतृक सम्पत्ति मैले तपाईंलाई दिनदेखि परमप्रभुले मलाई निषेध गरून् ।”
4 And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth the Jezrahelite had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread.
त्यसैले आहाब उदास भए, र रिसाएर आफ्नो दरबारमा गए किनकि यिजरेली नाबोतले तिनलाई यसो भनी जवाफ दिएका थिए, “म मेरा पुर्खाहरूको पैतृक सम्पत्ति तपाईंलाई दिन्नँ ।” तिनी आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा ठुस्स परेर सुते, र तिनले खाना खान इन्कार गरे ।
5 And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread?
तिनकी पत्नी ईजेबेल तिनीकहाँ आएर भनिन्, “खानै नखाने गरी तपाईं किन यति धेरै उदास हुनुभएको छ?”
6 And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard.
तिनले उनलाई जवाफ दिए, “मैले यिजरेली नाबोतलाई भनेँ, 'तिम्रो दाखबारी मलाई बेच वा तिमीलाई इच्छा लागे म तिमीलाई अर्को अझै राम्रो दाखबारी दिने छु ।' तब तिनले मलाई जवाफ दिए, 'म तिमीलाई मेरो दाखबारी दिन्नँ' ।”
7 Then Jezabel his wife said to him: Thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of Israel. Arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer, I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
त्यसैले तिनकी पत्नी ईजेबेलले तिनलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “के तपाईंले इस्राएलको राज्यमाथि शासन गर्नुहुन्न र? उठेर खानुहोस् । तपाईंको मन प्रसन्न होस् । म यिजरेली नाबोतको दाखबारी तपाईंलाई दिलाइदिने छु ।”
8 So she wrote letter’s in Achab’s name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.
त्यसैले ईजेबेलले आहाबको नाउँमा चिठीहरू लेखिन्, र तिनका राजाको छाप लगाई नाबोतको सहरमा तिनीसित बस्ने धर्म-गुरुहरू र भारदारहरूकहाँ पठाइन् ।
9 And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclaim a fast, and make Naboth sit among the chief of the people,
उनले चिठीहरूमा यसो लेखेकी थिइन्, “उपवासको घोषणा गरी नाबोतलाई मानिसहरूका बिचमा आदरको स्थानमा बसाओ ।
10 And suborn two men, sons of Belial against him, and let them bear false witness: that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die.
तिनीसँगै दुई जना बेइमान मानिसलाई पनि राख जसले तिनको विरुद्धमा यस्तो गवाही देऊन्, 'तपाईंले परमेश्वर र राजालाई सराप दिनुभयो' ।” तब तिनलाई बाहिर लगेर ढुङ्गाले हानेर मार ।
11 And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them:
त्यसैले नाबोतको सहरका मानिसहरू, धर्म-गुरुहरू र धनी मानिसहरूलाई ईजेबेलले लेखेकी चिठीहरूमा व्याख्या गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले गरे ।
12 They proclaimed a fast, and made Naboth sit among the chief of the people.
तिनीहरूले उपवासको घोषणा गरे, र नाबोतलाई मानिसहरूभन्दा आदरको स्थानमा बसाए ।
13 And bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people, saying: Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king: wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death.
दुई जना बेइमान मानिस आए, र तिनीहरू नाबोतको सामु बसे । मानिसहरूको उपस्थितिमा तिनीहरूले नाबोतको विरुद्धमा यसो भनी गवाही दिए, “नाबोतले परमेश्वर र राजा दुवैलाई सराप दिए ।” त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सहरबाहिर लगी ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे ।
14 And they sent to Jezabel, saying: Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
तब धर्म-गुरुहरूले ईजेबेललाई यो खबर पठाइन्, “नाबोतलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिएको छ ।”
15 And it came to pass when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
जब ईजेबेलले नाबोतलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिएको छ भनी सुनिन् उनले आहाबलाई भनिन्, “नाबोत मरिसकेकाले उठ्नुहोस्, र यिजरेली नाबोतको दाखबारी अधिकार गर्नुहोस् जुन बेच्नलाई तिनले इन्कार गरेका थिए ।”
16 And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it.
नाबोत मरे भनी जब आहाबले सुने तिनी उठेर यिजरेली नाबोतको दाखबारीमा गए, र त्यसको अधिकार गरे ।
17 And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिश्बी एलियाकहाँ आयो,
18 Arise, and go down to meet Achab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it:
“उठ्, र सामरियामा बस्ने इस्रालका राजा आहाबलाई भेट्न जा । त्यो नाबोतको दाखबारीमा छ जहाँ त्यो दाखबारी हडप्न गएको छ ।
19 And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast slain, moreover also thou hast taken possession. And after these words thou shalt add: Thus saith the Lord: In this place, wherein the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick thy blood also.
तैँले त्यसलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ भनी बता, 'के तैँले त्यसलाई मारेर त्यसको सम्पत्ति हडपेको छस्?’ त्यसपछि त्यसलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ भनी बता, 'जुन ठाउँमा कुकुरहरूले नाबोतको रगत चाटे, त्यही ठाउँमा कुकुरहरूले तेरो रगत, हो तेरै रगत चाट्ने छन्' ।”
20 And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee, because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord.
आहाबले एलियालाई भने, “ए मेरो शत्रु, के तैँले मलाई भेट्टाएको छस्?” एलियाले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गरी आफैलाई बेच्नुभएकोले मैले तपाईंलाई भेट्टाएको छु ।
21 Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel.
परमप्रभु तपाईंलाई यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म तँमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउने छु, र इस्राएलमा भएको तेरो हरेक पुरुष, कमारा र फुक्कालाई पूर्ण रूपमा भस्म पारी सर्वनाश पार्ने छु ।
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias: for what thou hast done, to provoke me to anger, and for making Israel to sin.
म तेरो घरानालाई नबातका छोरा यारोबाम र अहियाका छोरा बाशाको घरानाजस्तै तुल्याउने छु किनकि तैँले मलाई रिस उठाई इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाएको छस् ।'
23 And of Jezabel also the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel.
परमप्रभुले ईजेबेलको सम्बन्धमा पनि यसो भन्नुभएको छ, 'यिजरेलको पर्खालको छेउमा नै कुकुरहरूले ईजेबेललाई खाने छन् ।'
24 If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him.
आहाबको घरानामा भएको हरेक जो सहरमा मर्छ त्यसलाई कुकुरहरूले खाने छन्, र मैदानमा मर्ने हरेकलाई आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरूले खाने छन् ।”
25 Now there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife Jezabel set him on,
आहाबजस्तो कोही थिएन जसले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गर्न आफैलाई बेचे जसलाई तिनकी पत्नीले पाप गर्न उक्साएकी थिइन् ।
26 And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
आहाबले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूको सामुबाट हटाउनुभएका मूर्तिहरूलाई पछ्याई एमोरीहरूले गरेजस्तै घृणित कामहरू गरे ।
27 And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down.
जब आहाबले यी वचनहरू सुने तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते, र आफ्नो शरीरमा भाङ्ग्रा लगाए अनि उपवास बसे । तिनी भाङ्ग्रा लगाई अत्यन्तै उदास भए ।
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिश्बी एलियाकहाँ आयो,
29 Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
“के आहाबले मेरो सामु आफैलाई विनम्र पारेको तैँले देखेको छस्? त्यसले मेरो सामु आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्याकोले म आउनेवाला विपत्ति त्यसकै समयमा ल्याउँदिनँ । म त्यसको छोराको समयमा त्यसको परिवारमा विपत्ति ल्याउने छु ।”
