2 Chronicles 20
1 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
यसपछि यस्तो हुन आयो, मोआब र अम्मोनका मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूसँग केही मोनीहरू यहोशापातको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न आए ।
2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There comes a great multitude against you from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.
त्यसपछि केही यहोशापातकहाँ यसो भन्दै आए, “मृत-सागर पारि एदोमदेखि एउटा ठुलो भिड तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आइरहेछ । हेर्नहोस्, तिनीहरू हासेसोन-तामार, अर्थात् एन-गदीमा छन् ।”
3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
यहोशापात डराए र परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न अलग्गै गए । यहूदाभरि तिनले उपवासको घोषणा गरे ।
4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न यहूदाका मानिसहरू एकसाथ भेला भए । यहूदाका सबै सहरबाट तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न आए ।
5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सभाको सामु परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको नयाँ चोकको अगि यहोशापात खडा भए ।
6 And said, O LORD God of our fathers, are not you God in heaven? and rule not you over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in your hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand you?
तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वर, के तपाईं स्वर्गका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्न र? के तपाईं जातिहरूका सबै राज्यका शासक हुनुहुन्न र? शक्ति र बल तपाईंका हातमा छन् । यसैले कसैले पनि तपाईंको विरोध गर्न सक्दैन ।
7 Are not you our God, who did drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham your friend for ever?
हे हाम्रा परमेश्वर, के तपाईंले नै आफ्नो मानिस इस्राएलका सामुबाट यस देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई धपाउनुभएको र यसलाई सदासर्वदाको निम्ति अब्राहामका सन्तानलाई दिनुभएको होइन र?
8 And they dwelled therein, and have built you a sanctuary therein for your name, saying,
तिनीहरू यसमा बसे र यसमा यसो भनेर एउटा पवित्र स्थान बनाए,
9 If, when evil comes on us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in your presence, (for your name is in this house, ) and cry to you in our affliction, then you will hear and help.
‘हामीमाथि विपत्ति—तरवार, न्याय, वा रोग, वा अनिकाल आउँछ भने— हामी यस मन्दिरको अगि र तपाईंको अगि खडा हुने छौं (किनकी तपाईंको नाउँ यस मन्दिरमा छ), र हाम्रो कष्टमा हामी तपाईंसित पुकारा गर्ने छौं, र तपाईंले हाम्रा बिन्ती सुन्नुहुने छ र हामीलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।'
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
अब हेर्नुहोस्, यहाँ अम्मोन, मोआब, र सेइर पर्वतका मानिसहरू छन्, जसलाई तपाईंले मिश्रदेशबाट आउँदा इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गर्न दिनुभएन । बरु, इस्राएल तिनीहरूबाट तर्केर गए र तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गरेनन् ।
11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
हेर्नुहोस्, यिनीहरूले हामीलाई कस्तो प्रतिफल दिइरहेका छन् । तपाईंले हामीलाई अधिकार गर्न दिनुभएको ठाउँदेखि हामीलाई धपाउन तिनीहरू आउँदै छन् ।
12 O our God, will you not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are on you.
हे हाम्रा परमेश्वर, के तपाईं उनीहरूको न्याय गर्नुहुन्न र? किनकि हाम्रो विरूद्ध आइरहेको यो ठुलो फौज को सामना गर्ने शक्ति हामीसँग छैन । हामीले के गर्नुपर्ने हो सो हामी जान्दैनौं, तर हाम्रा दृष्टि तपाईंमा छन् ।”
13 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
सारा यहूदा आफ्ना सासाना बालबालिका, पत्नीहरू र छोराछोरीसमेत परमप्रभुको अगि खडा भए ।
14 Then on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the middle of the congregation;
तब सभाको बिचमा आसापका छोरामध्येका मत्तन्याहका जनाति, यहीएलका पनाति, बनायाहका नाति र जकरियाका छोरा एक जना लेवी यहासेलमाथि परमप्रभुका आत्मा आउनुभयो ।
15 And he said, Listen you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, Thus says the LORD to you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
यहासेलले भने, “हे सारा यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्दा र राजा यहोशापात, सुन्नुहोस् । परमप्रभु तपाईंहरूलाई यही भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘नडराओ, यस ठूलो फौजका कारणले हतास नहोओ, किनकि लडाइँ तपाईंहरूको होइन, तर परमप्रभुको हो ।
16 To morrow go you down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and you shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
तिमीहरू भोलि उनीहरूका विरुद्धमा जानुपर्छ । हेर, उनीहरू जीजको बाटो भएर आउँदैछन् । तिमीहरूले उनीहरूलाई बेसीको पल्लो छेउमा यरूएलको उजाड-स्थान अगि भेट्ने छौ ।
17 You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand you still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
यो लडाइँ तिमीहरूले लड्नुपर्ने छैन । ए यहूदा र यरूशलेम, आफ्नो पंक्तिमा खडा होओ, स्थिर खडा होओ, र परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई बचाउनुभएको कामलाई हेर । नडराओ, न त हतास होओ । तिनीहरूको विरुद्ध भोलि निस्केर जाओ, किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।’”
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
यहोशापातले आफ्नो शिरलाई भूइँमा घोप्टो पारे । यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्दा परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्दै उहाँको सामुन्ने घोप्टो परे ।
19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
कहाती र कोरहका वंशका कोही लेवीहरू चर्को सोरमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्न खडा भए ।
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper.
तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र निस्केर तकोको उजाड-स्थानमा गए । जब तिनीहरू निस्केर गए, तब यहोशापात खडा भए र भने, “हे यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दा हो, मेरो कुरा सुन । परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरमा भरोसा राख र तिमीहरूलाई सहायता मिल्ने छ । उहँका अगमवक्तामाथि भरोसा गर, र तिमीहरू सफल हुने छौ ।”
21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endures for ever.
मानिसहरूसित सल्लाह लिएपछि, परमप्रभुको निम्ति गाउने र उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्नेहरूलाई तिनीहरू हिंड्दै गर्दा, उहाँको महान् वैभवताको प्रशंसा गरेर यसो भन्दै गाउनलाई केहीलाई तिनले नियुक्त गरे, “परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किन उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तात सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।”
22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
जब तिनीहरूले गाउन र प्रशंसा गर्न सुरु गरे, तब परमप्रभुले यहूदासँग युद्ध गर्न आइरहेका अम्मोनी, मोआबी र सेइर पर्वतका मानिसहरूको विरूद्ध ढुकेर आक्रमण गर्ने मानिसहरू खडा गर्नुभयो । उनीहरू परास्त भए ।
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
किनकि सेइर पर्वतका मानिसहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपले मारेर सिद्ध्याउन र तिनीहरूलाई नाश गर्न भनेर अम्मोनी र मोआबीहरू तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा उठे । जब तिनीहरूले सेइरका बासिन्दाहरूलाई नाश गरेर सिद्ध्याए, तब तिनीहरू सबैले एक-अर्कालाई नाश गर्न मदत गरे ।
24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked to the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
जब यहूदाका मानिसहरू उजाड-स्थान देखिने अल्गो ठाउँमा आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले फौजलाई हेरे । हेर, तिनीहरू मरेर भूइँमा ढलेका थिए । एक जना पनि बाँचेको थिएन ।
25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
जब यहोशापात र तिनका मानिसहरू उनीहरूका लूटका माल जम्मा गर्न आउँदा, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका बिचमा प्रशस्त सामानहरू, लुगाफाटा र बहुमूल्य थोकहरू भेटाए, जसलाई तिनीहरूले बोक्न सक्नेभन्दा धेरै आफूसँग लगे । लूटका माल ओसार्न तिनीहरूलाई तीन दिन लाग्यो । त्यो सह्रै धेरै थियो ।
26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, to this day.
चौथो दिन तिनीहरू बराकाहको बेसीमा भेला भए । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गरे। यसैले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ आजको दिनसम्म पनि, ‘बराकाको बेसी’ रहेको छ ।
27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
त्यसपछि यहूदा र यरूशलेमका हरेक मानिस यहोशापातलाई अगि लगाएर विजयको साथ यरूशलेम जानलाई फर्के, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका शत्रुमाथि तिनीहरूलाई आनन्दित तुल्याउनुभएको थियो ।
28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets to the house of the LORD.
तिनीहरू वीणा, सितार र तुरही बजाउँदै यरूशलेममा र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आए ।
29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका शत्रुहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नुभएको कुरा सुनेर सबै देशका राज्यहरूमा परमेश्वरको भय फैलियो ।
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
यसरी यहोशापातको राज्यमा शान्ति भयो, किनकि तिनका परमेश्वरले तिनका चारैतिरबाट तिनलाई शान्ति दिनुभयो ।
31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
यहोशापातले यहूदामाथि राज्य गरेः तिनले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पैंतिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा पच्चिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अजूबा थियो, र तिनी शिल्हीकी छोरी थिइन् ।
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.
तिनी आफ्ना बुबा आसाका चालमा हिंडे । तीबाट तिनी तर्केर गएनन् । परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल थियो सो तिनले गरे ।
33 However, the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts to the God of their fathers.
तापनि तिनले डाँडाका थानहरू तिनले हटाएनन् । मानिसहरूले अझैसम्म पनि आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरमाथि आफ्नो हृदय लाएनन् ।
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
यहोशापातको राजकालका अरू घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्म नै हनानीका छोरा येहूको इतिहासमा लेखिएका छन्, जुन इस्राएलका राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
त्यसपछि यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजा अहज्याहसँग मित्रता गरे, जसले धेरै दुष्ट काम गरे ।
36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber.
तर्शीशमा जाने जहाजहरू बनाउनको निम्ति तिनले उनीसँग मित्रता गरे । तिनीहरूले एस्योन-गेबेरमा जहाजहरू बनाए ।
37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has broken your works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
तब मारेशाका दोदाबाहुका छोरा एलीएजरले यहोशापातको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी बोले । तिनले भने, “तपाईंले अहज्याहसँग मित्रता गर्नुभएको हुनाले, परमप्रभुले तपाईंका योजनाहरू नष्ट पार्नुभएको छ ।” ती जहाजहरू नष्ट भए ताकि ती तैरन सकेनन् ।'
