2 Kings 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha', Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too narrow for us.
अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूले एलीशालाई भने, “जुन ठाउँमा हामी तपाईंसँग बस्छौँ, त्यो हामी सबैका लागि ज्यादै साँघुरो छ ।
2 Let us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and take thence every man one beam, and let us prepare for us there a place to dwell therein. And he said, Go.
कृपा गरी हामी यर्दनमा जान र त्यहाँ हरेक मानिसले एउटा रुख काट्न अनि त्यहाँ एउटा ठाउँ बनाउने अनुमति हामीलाई दिनुहोस् जहाँ हामी बस्न सक्छौं ।” एलीशाले भने, “यस काममा तिमीहरू अगि बढ ।”
3 And one said, Give thy assent, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said, I will indeed go.
तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जनाले भन्यो, “कृपा गरी आफ्ना दासहरूसँगै जानुहोस् ।” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “म जानेछु ।”
4 So he went with them; and they came to the Jordan, and they cut down trees.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूसँगै तिनी गए र जब तिनीहरू यर्दनमा आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले रुखहरू काट्न सुरु गरे ।
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, my Lord! it was also borrowed.
तर एक जनाले काटिरहँदा बञ्चरोको टाउको पानीमा खस्यो । त्यसले चिच्च्याएर भन्यो, “हे मेरा मालिक, यो त मागेर ल्याएको थियो!”
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and he caused the iron to swim.
त्यसैले परमेश्वरका मानिसले भने, “त्यो कहाँ खस्यो?” त्यस मानिसले एलीशालाई त्यो ठाउँ देखायो । तब तिनले एउटा लट्ठी काटे, त्यसलाई पानीमा फाले र फलाम पनि तैरियो ।
7 And then said he, Lift it up to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
एलीशाले भने, “त्यसलाई समात ।” त्यसैले त्यस मानिसले आफ्नो हात पसार्यो र बञ्चरो समात्यो ।
8 And the king of Syria made war against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
अब अरामका राजाले इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरिरिहेका थिए । तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूसित यसो भनेर सल्लाह लिए, “मेरो छाउनी यस्तो-यस्तो ठाउँमा हुनेछ ।”
9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not that place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
त्यसैले परमेश्वरका मानिसले इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ यसो भनेर मानिसहरू पठाए, “त्योबाट ठाउँबाट नजानुहोस् किनकि अरामीहरू त्यहाँ तल झर्दैछन् ।”
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place, which the man of God had told him and warned him of, and he took care of himself there: not once nor twice.
इस्राएलका राजाले त्यस ठाउँमा एउटा समाचार पठाए जसको विषयमा परमेश्वरका मानिसले बोलेका र चेताउनी दिएका थिए । एक वा दुई पटकभन्दा बढी राजा त्यहाँ जाँदा तिनी सावधान भए ।
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sorely troubled concerning this thing; and he called for his servants, and said unto them, Can ye not tell me who of us is for the king of Israel?
यी चेताउनीहरूका बारेमा अरामका राजा क्रोधित तुल्याइए, र तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हाम्रा माझमा भएकाहरूमध्ये कसले इस्राएका राजालाई समर्थन गर्छ त्यो तिमीहरू मलाई भन्दैनौँ?”
12 And one of his servants said, Not so, my Lord, O king; but Elisha', the prophet that is in Israel, can tell unto the king of Israel the words that thou mayest speak in thy sleeping-chamber.
त्यसैले तिनका एक जना सेवकले भने, “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, हामीले गर्दैनौँ किनकि इस्राएलमा भएका एलीशा अगमवक्ताले तपाईंले आफ्नो सुत्ने कोठामा बोल्नुभएका कुरासमेत इस्राएलका राजालाई भनिदिन्छन् ।”
13 And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told unto him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
राजाले जवाफ दिए, “जाओ र एलीशा कहाँ छ हेर, ताकि मानिसहरू पठाएर म त्यसलाई समात्न सकूँ ।” तिनलाई यसो भनियो, “तिनी दोतानमा छन् ।”
14 And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a strong army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
त्यसैले राजाले दोतानमा एउटा ठुलो सेनासँगै घोडाहरू र रथहरू पठाए । तिनीहरू रातमा आए र सहरलाई घेरा हाले ।
15 And the servant of the man of God rose early, and went forth, when, behold, an army compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
जब परमेश्वरका मानिसको नोकर सबेरै उठ्यो र बाहिर गयो, हेर, एउटा ठुलो सेनाले घोडाहरू र रथहरू लिएर सहरलाई घेरेको थियो । तिनको सेवकले तिनलाई भन्यो, “ओहो! मेरा मालिक, हामी के गरौँ?”
16 And he said, Fear not: for those that are with us are more than those that are with them.
एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “नडरा, किनकि तिनीहरूसित भएकाहरूभन्दा हामीसित भएकाहरू धेरै छन् ।”
17 And Elisha' prayed, and said, O Lord, open, I pray thee, his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man: and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha'.
एलीशाले प्रार्थना गरे, “हे परमप्रभु, यसका आँखा खोलिदिनुहोस् ताकि यसले देख्न सकोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्छु।” तब परमप्रभुले त्यस सेवकका आँखा खोल्नुभयो, र त्यसले देख्यो । हेर, एलीशाको वरिपरि डाँडामा अग्निमय घोडाहरू र रथहरूले भरिएको थियो!
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha' prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha'.
जब अरामीहरू तल ओर्ली एलीशाकहाँ आए, तिनले परमप्रभुमा प्रार्थना गरे र भने, “यी मानिसहरूलाई अन्धा तुल्याउनुहोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्छु ।” त्यसैले एलीशाले बिन्ती गरेझैँ परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई अन्धा तुल्याउनुभयो ।
19 And Elisha' said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will lead you to the man whom ye wish to seek. And he led them thus to Samaria.
तब एलीशाले अरामीहरूलाई भने, “यो बाटो होइन, न त यो सहर नै हो । मेरो पछि लाग र तिमीहरूले खोजिरहेका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा म तिमीहरूलाई लानेछु ।” तब तिनीहरूलाई तिनले सामरिया लगे ।
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha' said, Lord, open the eyes of these, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
जब तिनीहरू सामरिया आइपुगे, तब एलीशाले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, यी मानिसहरूका आँखा खोल्नुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले देखून् ।” परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका आँखा खोल्नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूले देखे अनि हेर, तिनीहरू त सामरिया सहरको बिचमा पो रहेछन् ।
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha', when he saw them, Shall I smite them? Shall I smite them, my father?
जब इस्राएलका राजाले तिनीहरूलाई देखे, तब तिनले एलीशालाई भने, “हे मेरा पिता, के म तिनीहरूलाई मारौं? के म तिनीहरूलाई मारौं?”
22 But he said, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldst thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go [back] to their master.
एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नुहुँदैन । के तपाईंले आफ्नै तरवार र धनुले कैद गरेका मानिहरूलाई मार्नुहुन्थ्यो र? तिनीहरूका सामु भोजन र पानी दिनुहोस्, ताकि तिनीहरूले खाऊन् र पिऊन् अनि आफ्ना मालिककहाँ जाऊन् ।”
23 And he prepared for them a great meal; and they ate and drank, and he sent them away, and they went [back] to their master. And the predatory bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
त्यसैले राजाले तिनीहरूका लागि प्रशस्त भोजन तयार गरे, अनि जब तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए तब तिनीहरूलाई तिनले पठाइदिए र यसरी तिनीहरू आफ्ना मालिककहाँ फर्केर गए । अरामी सिपाहीका ती दलहरू लामो समयसम्म इस्राएल देशमा फर्केनन् ।
24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad the king of Syria assembled all his camp, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
यो घटनापछि अरामका राजा बेन-हददले आफ्ना सारा सेना जम्मा गरे र सामरियालाई आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई घेरा हाले ।
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria; and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
त्यसैले सामरियामा ठुलो अनिकाल पर्यो । तिनीहरूले यति लामो समयसम्म घेरा हाले, जसले गर्दा गधाको एउटा टाउलाई एक किलो चाँदी र एक मुट्ठी दाललाई पचपन्न ग्राम चाँदीमा बिक्री गरियो ।
26 And it happened as the king of Israel was passing along upon the wall, that a woman cried unto him, saying, Help, my Lord, O king.
जब इस्राएलका राजा पर्खालमा हिंड्दै थिए, तब एउटी स्त्रीले रुँदै तिनलाई भनी, “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, मलाई मदत गर्नुहोस् ।”
27 And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? shall it be out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-press?
तिनले भने, “परमप्रभुले नै तिमीलाई मदत गर्नुहुन्न भने म कसरी तिमीलाई मदत गर्न सक्छु र? खलो वा दाखको कोलबाट कुनै कुरो आउँदैछ र?”
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said unto me, Give up thy son, that we may eat him today, and my son we will eat tomorrow.
राजाले निरन्रतर बोले, “तिमीलाई के कुराले कष्ट दिंदैछ?” त्यसले जवाफ दिई, “यो स्त्रीले मलाई भनी, ‘तिम्रो छोरो देऊ ताकि त्यसलाई हामी आज खाऊँ र हामी भोली मेरो छोरो खानेछौँ' ।’
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him; but when I said unto her on the next day, Give up thy son, that we may eat him: she hid her son.
त्यसैले हामीले मेरो छोरोलाई उसिन्यौं र त्यसलाई खायौँ, अनि अर्को दिन मैले त्यसलाई भनेँ, ‘तिम्रो छोरो देऊ ताकि त्यसलाई हामी खाऊँ,’ तर त्यसले आफ्नो छोरो लुकाएकी छे ।”
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes, as he was passing along upon the wall: and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his flesh.
जब राजाले त्यो स्त्रीको कुरा सुने, तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते (यति बेला तिनी पर्खालमा हिंडिरहेका थिए), र मानिसहरूले हेरे अनि तिनले कम्मरमा भाङ्ग्रा मात्र लगाएको देखे ।
31 Then said he, May God do so unto me and continue so yet farther, if the head of Elisha' the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day.
तब तिनले भने, “आज शाफातका छोरा एलीशाको शिर बाँकी रह्यो भने परमेश्वरले मलाई पनि यसै र अनि त्योभन्दा बढी गरून् ।”
32 But Elisha' was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and he sent a man from before him; but before the messenger could yet come to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of the murderer hath sent to remove my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him back with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
तर एलीशा आफ्नो घरमा बसिरहेका थिए र धर्म-गुरुहरू तिनीसँगै बसिरहेका थिए । राजाले आफ्नो अघि एक जना मानिसलाई पठाए तर त्यो सन्देशवाहक एलीशाकहाँ आइपुग्नु अघि तिनले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, त्यो हत्याराको छोरोले मेरो शिर काट्नलाई कसैलाई पठाएको छ । जब सन्देशवाहक आइपुग्छ तब ढोका थुन्नुहोस् र त्यसले ठेल्दा थामिराख्नुहोस् । के त्यसको पछाडि त्यसको मालिकको पाइलाको आवाज आएको छैन र?”
33 And while he was yet speaking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; what shall I hope for in the Lord any longer?
तिनीहरूसित तिनले बोल्दाबोल्दै सन्देशवाहक तिनीकहाँ आयो । राजाले भनेका थिए, “परमप्रभुबाट नै यो समस्या आउँछ । अब फेरि मैले किन परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गरिरहने?”
