< 1 Kings 13 >
1 And lo! a man of God, came in out of Judah, by the word of Yahweh, unto Bethel, —as Jeroboam was standing by the altar, to make a perfume.
परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा परमेश्वका जन बेथेलमा आए । यारोबाम धूप बाल्नलाई वेदीनेर उभिरहेका थिए ।
2 And he made proclamation against the altar, by the word of Yahweh, and said, O altar! altar! Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! a son to be born unto the house of David, Josiah his name, who shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the high-places, who are making a perfume upon thee, and, human bones, shall be burned upon thee;
तिनले परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा वेदीको विरुद्धमा चिच्च्याए, “हे वेदी, हे वेदी! परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, दाऊदको घरानामा योशियाह नाउँ गरेको बालकको जन्म हुने छ, र त्यसले तेरो लागि बलिदान चढाउने डाँडाका ठाउँहरूमा पुजारीहरूलाई तँमाथि नै बलिदान चढाउने छ । तँमाथि तिनीहरूले मानिसका हड्डीहरू जलाउने छन्' ।”
3 and he shall give, on that day, a sign, saying, This, is the sign of which Yahweh hath spoken, —Lo! the altar, is to be rent, and the ashes that are upon thee shall be, poured out!
तब उही दिन परमेश्वरका जनले यसो भन्दै एउटा चिन्ह दिए, “परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएको चिन्ह यही होः हेर, वेदी दुई फक्लेटा हुने छ, र त्यसमाथि भएको खरानीचाहिँ खन्याइने छ' ।”
4 And it came to pass, when the king heard the word of the man of God which he proclaimed against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam thrust forth his hand, from off the altar, saying—Lay hold of him! and his hand which he had thrust forth against him was dried up, that he could not draw it back to him.
बेथेलमा परमेश्वरका जनले वेदीको विरुद्धमा भनेका कुरा जब राजा यारोबामले सुने तिनले वेदीबाट आफ्नो हात पसारेर यसो भने, “त्यसलाई समात्!” तब तिने परमेश्वरको जनलाई समात्न जुन हात पसारेका थिए, त्यो सुक्यो र तिनले त्यो फेरि आफूतिर ल्याउन सकेनन् ।
5 Moreover, the altar, was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, —according to the sign which the man of God had given, by the word of Yahweh.
(वेदी पनि दुई फक्लेटा भयो, र खरानी वेदीबाट पोखियो जस्तो परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा परमेश्वरका जनले चिन्हद्वारा व्याख्या गरेका थिए ।)
6 Then responded the king and said unto the man of God—Appease, I pray thee, the face of Yahweh thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored unto me. So the man of God appeased the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king was restored unto him, and became as aforetime.
त्यसैले परमेश्वरका जनले परमप्रभुलाई प्रार्थना गरे, र राजाको हात पहिलेकै जस्तो भयो ।
7 Then spake the king unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, —and let me give thee a present.
राजाले परमेश्वरका जनलाई भने, “मेरो घरमा खानपान गर्नुहोस्, र म तपाईंलाई इनाम दिने छु ।”
8 But the man of God said unto the king—If thou wouldst give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, —neither would I eat bread or drink water, in this place;
परमेश्वरका जनले राजालाई भने, “तपाईंले मलाई आधा सम्पत्ति दिनुभए तापनि म तपाईंसित जान्नँ, न यस ठाउँमा तपाईंसित खाने छु न पिउने छु ।
9 for, so, he charged me, by the word of Yahweh, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor shalt thou drink water, —neither shalt thou come back by the way thou wentest.
किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्नो वचनद्वारा मलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको छ, 'तैँले त्यहाँ रोटी नखानू, न त पानी पिउनू, न तँ आएको बाटो फर्केर जानू' ।”
10 So he departed another way, —and went not back by the way by which he came unto Bethel.
त्यसैले परमेश्वरका जन अर्कै बाटो भएर गए, र तिनी जुन बाटो भएर आएका थिए त्यही बाटो भएर आफ्नो घरमा फर्केनन् ।
11 But, a certain aged prophet, was dwelling in Bethel, —whose sons came in and related to him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel—and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they related them to their father.
बेथेलमा एक जना वृद्ध अगमवक्ता बस्थे । त्यस दिन बेथेलमा परमेश्वरका जनले गरेका सबै कुरा अगमवक्ताका एक जना छोराले तिनलाई बताए । परमेश्वरका जन राजासित बोलेका थिए भन्ने कुरा पनि तिनका छोराहरूले तिनलाई बताए ।
12 And their father said unto them, Which way then went he? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God went who had come in out of Judah.
तिनीहरूका पिताले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “तिनी कुनचाहिँ बाटो लागे?” परमेश्वरका जन यहूदाको बाटो भएर गएका थिए भनी तिनका छोराहरूले देखेका थिए ।
13 So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for him the ass, and he rode thereon;
त्यसैले तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई भने, “मेरो निम्ति गधामा काठी कस ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले गधामा काठी कसी त्यसमा चढेर गए ।
14 and went after the man of God, and found him, sitting under an oak. And he said unto him—Art, thou, the man of God who came in out of Judah? And he said—I am.
ती वृद्ध अगमवक्ता परमेश्वरका जनको पछिपछि गए र तिनलाई फलाँटको रुखमुनि बसिरहेको भेट्टाए, र तिनले भने, “के यहूदाबाट आउनुभएका परमेश्वरका जन तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “हो, म नै हुँ ।”
15 Then said he unto him, Come home with me, —and eat bread.
तब ती वृद्ध अगमवक्ताले तिनलाई भने, “मसितै घरमा आउनुहोस् र खानपान गर्नुहोस् ।”
16 And he said—I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee, —neither will I eat bread or drink water with thee, in this place;
परमेश्वरका जनले भने, “म तपाईंसँगै फर्केर जान सक्दिनँ, न त यस ठाउँमा तपाईंसँगै खानपान गर्न सक्छु न पिउन सक्छु ।
17 for there came a message unto me by the word of Yahweh, Thou shalt neither eat bread, nor drink water there, —thou shalt not turn back to come by the way by which thou wentest.
किनकि परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा मलाई आज्ञा दिइएको छ, 'तैँले त्यहाँ रोटी नखानू, न पानी पिउनू, न तँ आएको बाटो फर्केर जानू' ।”
18 And he said to him-I also, am a prophet, like unto thee, and, a messenger, hath spoken unto me, by the word of Yahweh, saying—Bring him back with thee, into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him.
त्यसैले ती वृद्ध अगमवक्ताले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंजस्तै म पनि अगमवक्ता हुँ, र परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा एउटा स्वर्गदूतले मलाई यसो भने, 'तिनलाई तिमीसँगै घरमा फर्काएर ल्याउनू ताकि तिनले रोटी खान सकून् र पानी पिउन सकून्' ।” तर तिनले परमेश्वरका जनलाई झुट बोल्दै थिए ।
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
त्यसैले परमेश्वरका जन ती वृद्ध अगमवक्तासँगै फर्केर गए, र तिनको घरमा रोटी खानुका साथै पानी पिए ।
20 And so it was, as, they, were sitting at the table, yea, so it was, that the word of Yahweh came unto the prophet who had brought him back;
तिनीहरू टेबुलमा बस्दै गर्दा परमप्रभुको वचन तिनलाई फर्काएर ल्याउने अगमवक्ताकहाँ आयो, र
21 and he cried out unto the man of God who had come in out of Judah, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and hast not kept the commandment which Yahweh thy God commanded thee;
तिनले यहूदबाट आएका परमेश्वरका जनलाई यसो भनेर कराए, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तँ परमप्रभुको वचनप्रति अनाज्ञाकारी भएकोले र परमप्रभुले तँलाई दिनुभएको वचन पालन नगरी
22 but hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place of which he said unto thee, Thou mayest neither eat bread nor drink water: thy dead body shall not enter the burying-place of thy fathers.
फर्केर आई यस ठाउँमा रोटी खाएकोले र पानी पिएकोले तेरो शरीरलाई तेरा पित्रहरूको चिहानमा गाडिने छैन किनकि तैँले परमप्रभुले मनाही गर्नुभएको ठाउँमा रोटी खाइस् र पानी पिइस्' ।”
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
जब ती परमेश्वरका जनले रोटी खाइसके र पानी पिइसके तब अगमवक्ताले तिनीसँगै तिनको घरमा फर्केर आएका परमेश्वरका जनका लागि गधामा जीन काठी कसे ।
24 And, when he had gone, there met him a lion by the way, and slew him, —and his dead body was cast out in the way, and, the ass, was standing near it, and, the lion, was standing near the dead body.
परमेश्वरका जन गइसकेपछि बाटोमा एउटा सिंहसित तिनको जम्काभेट भयो । सिंहले तिनलाई मारिदियो, र तिनको लाश बाटोमै पडिरह्यो । तब गधा र सिंह लाशको छेउमा उभिएका थिए ।
25 And lo! certain men, passing by, saw the dead body, cast out in the way, and the lion standing near the dead body, —so they came in, and spake [of it] in the city, wherein, the aged prophet, dwelt.
मानिसहरू त्यो बाटो भएर जाँदा तिनीहरूले बाटोमा लाश छाडिएको र लाशनेर सिंह उभिरहेको देखे । तिनीहरू ती वृद्ध अगमवक्ता बस्ने सहरमा आएर यो कुरा बताइदिए ।
26 And, when the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said—The man of God, it is, who rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, —therefore did Yahweh deliver him unto the lion, and it hath torn him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto him.
जब तिनलाई फर्काएर ल्याउने अगमवक्ताले यो कुरा सुने तिनले भने, “तिनी परमप्रभुको वचन नमान्ने परमेश्वरका जन हुन् । त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले तिनलाई सिंहको मुखमा पर्न दिनुभयो जसले तिनलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारी मारिदियो जस्तो परमप्रभुको वचनले तिनलाई चेताउनी दिएको थियो ।”
27 And he spake unto his sons, saying, Saddle for me the ass. And they saddled it.
त्यसैले ती वृद्ध अगमवक्ताले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई यसो भने, “मेरो गधमा जीन काठी कस ।” तिनीहरूले त्यसै गरे ।
28 So he went and found his dead body, cast out in the way, with, the ass and the lion, standing near the dead body, —the lion had neither eaten the dead body, nor had it torn the ass.
तिनी बाटो लागे र तिनले बाटोमा लाश पडिरहेको अनि लाशको छेउमा गधा र सिंह उभिरहेका देखे । सिंहले लाशलाई खाएको थिएन न त गधालाई आक्रमण गरेको थियो ।
29 And the prophet took up the dead body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back, —and the aged prophet came into the city, to make lamentation, and to bury him.
अगमवक्ताले परमेश्वरका जनको लाश उठाई गधामा राखे र फर्काएर ल्याए । तिनको निम्ति शोक गर्न र लाशलाई गाड्न तिनी आफ्नै सहरमा आए ।
30 And he laid his dead body in his own grave, —and they lamented over him, [saying] —Alas, my brother!
तिनले लाशलाई आफ्नै चिहानमा राखे, र तिनीहरूले यसो भन्दै तिनको निम्ति शोक गरे, “धिक्कार, मेरा भाइ!”
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake unto his sons, saying, When I die, then shall ye bury me in the grave wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones, lay my bones;
तिनले लाशलाई गाडिसकेपछि वृद्ध अगमवक्ताले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई यसो भने, “जब म मर्छु, मलाई परमेश्वरका जन गाडिएकै चिहानमा गाड्नू । मेरा हड्डीहरू तिनका हड्डीहरूको छेउमा रहून् ।
32 For the message which he proclaimed, by the ward of Yahweh, against the altar which is in Bethel, —and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
किनकि तिनले परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा बेथेलको वेदीको विरुद्धमा र सामरियाका सहरहरूमा भएका सबै डाँडाका ठाउँहरूका घरहरूको विरुद्धमा घोषणा गरेका सन्देश निश्चय नै पुरा हुने छ ।”
33 After this thing, Jeroboam turned not from his wicked way, —but again made, from the whole compass of the people, priests of high places, whomsoever he would, he installed, and he became priest of high places.
यसपछि यारोबाम आफ्नो दुष्ट मार्गबाट फर्केनन्, तर तिनले डाँडाका ठाउँहरूका लागि सबै थरीका मानिसहरूका बिचबाट सामान्य पुजारीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरिरहे । सेवा गर्न चाहने जोसुकैलाई पनि तिनले पुजारीको रूपमा अभिषेक गर्थे ।
34 And so this thing became the sin of the house of Jeroboam, —that it should be both taken away and destroyed, from off the face of the ground.
यो विषय यारोबामको परिवारको निम्ति पाप बन्यो, र यसले गर्दा तिनको परिवार पृथ्वीबाट नष्ट भएर सर्वनाश भएर गयो ।
