1 Kings 15

1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.

नबातका छोरा राजा यारोबामको शासनकालको अठारौँ वर्षमा अबियाले यहूदामाथि शासन गर्न थाले ।

2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.

तिनले यरूशलेममा तिन वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ माका थियो । उनी अबीशालोमकी छोरी थिइन् ।

3 Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.

अबिया तिनको समयभन्दा अगि तिनका पिताले गरेका सबै पापमा हिँडे । तिनको ह्रदय तिनका पुर्खा दाऊदको ह्रदयजस्तै परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वरप्रति समर्पित भएन ।

4 But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].

तरै पनि दाऊदको खातिर परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वरले यरूशलेमलाई बलियो बनाउन तिनी पछि तिनको छोरोलाई उठाएर यरूशलमेमा तिनलाई एउटा बत्ती दिनुभयो ।

5 Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].

दाऊदले परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ, त्यही गरेकाले उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो । किनकि हित्ती उरियाहको विषयमा बाहेक उहाँले तिनलाई दिनुभएको कुनै पनि आज्ञाबाट तिनी आफ्नो जीवनभर तर्केर गएनन् ।

6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.

अबियाको जीवनभर रहबाम र यारोबामको बिचमा युद्ध भइरह्‍यो ।

7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

के अबियाले गरेका अन्य कामहरू यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र? अबिया र यारोबामको बिचमा युद्ध चलेको थियो ।

8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.

अबिया आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा आसा राजा भए ।

9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.

इस्राएलका राजा यारोबामको बिसौँ वर्षमा आसाले यहूदामाथि शासन गर्न थाले ।

10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.

तिनले यरूशलेममा एकचालिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी हजुर आमाको नाउँ माका थियो जो अबीशालोमकी छोरी थिइन् ।

11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.

आसाले तिनका पुर्खा दाऊदले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ, त्यही गरे ।

12 He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.

तिनले देशबाट झुटो धर्मसम्बन्धी वेश्याहरूलाई निष्कासन गरे, र तिनका पुर्खाहरूले बनाएका सबै मुर्तिलाई हटाइदिए ।

13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

तिनले आफ्नी हजुर आमा माकालाई पनि राजमाताको पदबाट हटाए किनकि उनले अशेरा देवीको एउटा घिनलाग्दो मूर्ति बनाएकी थिइन् । आसाले त्यस घिनलाग्दो मूर्तिलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारी किद्रोन उपत्यकामा लगेर जलाइदिए ।

14 He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.

तर डाँडाका थानहरू भने हटाइएनन् । तरै पनि आसाको ह्रदय तिनको जिवनकालभरि परमप्रभुप्रति पूर्ण रूपमा समर्पित थियो ।

15 He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.

तिनले आफ्ना पिताद्वारा अलग गरिएका कुराहरू र तिनी आफैले बनाएर अलग गरेका सुन, चाँदीसाथै भाँडाकुँडाहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र ल्याए ।

16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.

आसा र इस्राएलका राजा बाशाका राज्यकालभरि तिनीहरूको बिचमा युद्ध चलिरह्‍यो ।

17 Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.

इस्राएलका राजा बाशा यहूदाको विरुद्धमा आक्रामक रूपमा आए, र यहूदका राजा बाशाको देशमा कसैलाई प्रवेश गर्न नदिन तिनले रामामा किल्ला निर्माण गरे ।

18 So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:

त्यसपछि आसाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजाको महलका भण्डारहरूमा छाडिएका सबै चाँदी र सुन लिए । तिनले ती आफ्ना अधिकारीहरूका हातमा दिए, र त्यसलाई तब्रिमोनका छोरा, हेज्योनका नाति अरामका राजा बेन-हददकहाँ पठाइदिए जो दमस्कसमा बस्थे । तिनले भने,

19 “I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”

“मेरा पिता र तपाईंका पिताको बिचमा भएजस्तै तपाईं र मेरो बिचमा एउटा करार बाँधियोस् । हेर्नुहोस्, मैले तपाईंकहाँ चाँदी र सुनको उपहार पठाएको छु । इस्राएलका राजा बाशासितको करार तोड्नुहोस् ताकि तिनले मलाई एकलै छाडून् ।”

20 [So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.

बेन-हददले राजा आसाको कुरा सुने र आफ्ना सेनापतिहरू पठाए, अनि तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका सहरहरूमाथि आक्रमण गरे । तिनीहरूले इयोन, दान, हाबिल-बेथ-माका र नप्तालीको क्षेत्रसमेत सबै सारा किन्नरेतलाई आक्रमण गरे ।

21 When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.

जब बाशाले यो कुरा सुने तिनले रामामा किल्ला निर्माण गर्न छाडेर तिनी तिर्सामा फर्केर गए ।

22 Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.

तब राजा आसाले सारा यहूदामा एउटा घोषणा गरे जसमा कोही पनि छुटेको थिएन । तिनीहरूले बाशाले रामा सहर निर्माणको लागि प्रयोग गरिरहेका ढुङ्गाहरू र काठहरू लिएर गए । तब राजा आसाले बेन्यामीनको गेबा र मिस्माको निर्माणमा ती सामग्रीहरूको प्रयोग गरे ।

23 Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.

के आसाले गरेका अरू कामहरू, तिनका सारा शक्ति र तिनले निर्माण गरेका सहरहरूको बारेमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र? तर तिनको वृद्धावस्थामा तिनको खुट्टामा रोग लाग्यो ।

24 He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.

त्यसपछि आसा आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुते र तिनलाई तिनका पिता पुर्खा दाऊदको सहरमा गाडियो । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा यहोशापात राजा भए ।

25 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.

यहूदाका राजा आसाको दोस्रो वर्षमा यारोबामका छोरा नादाबले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न थाले । तिनले इस्राएलमाथि दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

26 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.

तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ, त्यही गरे, र आफ्ना पिताको चालमा हिँडे । तिनी आफ्नै पापमा हिँडे र इस्राएललाई पनि पाप गर्न लगाए । इस्साखारको घरानाका

27 [A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.

अहियाहका छोरा बाशाले नादाबको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र रचे । बाशाले तिनलाई पलिश्तीहरूको सहर गिब्बतोनमा मारे किनकि नादाब र सारा इस्राएलले गिब्बतोनलाई घेरा हाल्दै थिए ।

28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.

यहूदाका राजा आसाको तेस्रो वर्षमा बाशाले नादाबलाई मारे, तिनको ठाउँमा तिनी राजा बने ।

29 As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).

तिनी राजा हुनेबित्तिकै बाशाले याराबामको सारा घरानालाई मारे । तिनले यारोबामको कुनै पनि सन्तानलाई जिउँदो राखेनन् । यसरी परमप्रभुले आफ्ना दास शीलोका अहियाहद्वारा बोल्नुभएझैँ तिनले यारोबामको सबै राजकीय वंशलाई नष्ट गरिदिए ।

30 That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.

यारोबामले गरेका पाप र तिनले इस्राएललाई गर्न लगाएका पापको कारण तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाएकाले यसो हुन आएको हो ।

31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

के नादाबका अरू कार्यहरू र तिनले गरेका कामको विषयमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.

आसा र इस्राएलका राजा बाशाको बिचमा तिनीहरूको राज्यकालभरि युद्ध चलिरह्‍यो ।

33 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.

यहूदाका राजा आसाको तेस्रो वर्षमा अहियाहका छोरा बाशाले तिस्रामा बसी सारा इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न थाले, र तिनले चौबिस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

34 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.

तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ, त्यही गरे, र तिनी यारोबामको मार्ग र तिनले इस्राएललाई गर्न लगाएको पापमा हिँडे ।
