1 राजे 15
1 १ नबाटाचा पुत्र यराबाम इस्राएलवर राज्य करत होता. त्याच्या राजेपणाच्या कारकिर्दीचे अठरावे वर्ष चालू असताना, रहबामाचा पुत्र अबीयाम यहूदाचा पुढचा राजा झाला.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
3 ३ आपल्या वडिलांच्याच पापांची उजळणी याने केली. आपले आजोबा दावीद यांच्याप्रमाणे तो परमेश्वर देवाशी एकनिष्ठ नव्हता.
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.
4 ४ दाविदावर परमेश्वराचे प्रेम होते. त्याच्याखातर त्याने त्याचा दीप यरूशलेमेत कायम राहू दिला. त्यानंतर त्याच्या पुत्राला उभारले, व यरूशलेम सुरक्षित ठेवले.
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].
5 ५ दाविदाचे वर्तन परमेश्वराच्या इच्छेनुसार, योग्य असेच होते. त्याने परमेश्वराच्या आज्ञांचे नेहमीच पालन केले. उरीया हित्तीबद्दल घडलेले चुकीचे वर्तन एवढाच काय तो अपवाद.
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].
There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
7 ७ अबीयामाने आणखी जे काही केले त्याची नोंद, यहूदाच्या राजांचा इतिहास या पुस्तकात आहे. अहीयाच्या संपूर्ण कारकिर्दींत अहीया आणि यराबाम यांच्यात लढाई चालू असे.
Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
12 १२ त्याकाळी दैवतांच्या नावाखाली शरीरविक्रय करणारे पुरुष वेश्या होते. आसाने त्यांना देशत्याग करायला लावले. तसेच त्याने आपल्या वाडवडिलांनी केलेल्या मूर्ती पूर्णपणे हलवल्या.
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.
13 १३ आपली आजी माका हिला आसाने राणीच्या पदावरून दूर केले. अंमगळ दैवत अशेरा हिची एक मूर्ती या आजीनेही केली होती. आसाने त्या मूर्तीची मोडतोड केली. किद्रोन खोऱ्यात ती जाळून टाकली.
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.
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.
15 १५ आसा आणि त्याचे वडिल यांनी परमेश्वरासाठी काही वस्तू करून घेतल्या होत्या. सोन्याचांदीच्या वस्तू आणि आणखी काही गोष्टी त्यामध्ये होत्या. त्या सर्व त्याने व्यवस्थित मंदिरात जमा केल्या.
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.
There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
17 १७ इस्राएलचा राजा बाशाने यहूदावर चढाया केल्या. आसाच्या प्रदेशातील लोकांचे येणे जाणे त्यास थांबवायचे होते. त्यामुळे रामा नगर त्याने चांगले मजबूत केले.
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.
18 १८ आसाने मग परमेश्वराच्या मंदिराच्या खजिन्यातले आणि महालातले सोनेनाणे काढून घेतले. आपल्या सेवकांच्या हाती ते सोपवून त्यांना त्याने अरामाचा राजा बेन हदाद यांच्याकडे पाठवले. बेन-हदाद हा टब्रिम्मोनचा पुत्र आणि टब्रिम्मोन हेज्योनचा. बेनहदादची राजधानी दिमिष्क होती.
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:
19 १९ आसाने आपल्या संदेशात म्हटले होते, “माझे वडिल आणि तुझे वडिल यांच्यात शांततेचा करार झाला होता. आता मला तुझ्याशी करार करायचा आहे. तुला मी हा सोन्यारुप्याचा नजराणा पाठवत आहे. इस्राएलचा राजा बाशा याच्याशी झालेल्या कराराचा तू भंग कर म्हणजे तो माझ्या प्रदेशातून निघून जाईल.”
“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].”
20 २० राजा बेन-हदाद याने आसाशी करार केला आणि इयोन, दान, आबेल-बेथ-माका, गालिल सरोवरालगतची गावे, किन्नेरोथ आणि नफतालीचा प्रांत यांच्यावर चढाई करायला आपले सैन्य इस्राएलावर पाठवले.
[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.
21 २१ या हल्ल्याची बातमी बाशाच्या कानावर गेली. तेव्हा त्याने रामा नगराच्या मजबूतीचे काम सोडले, ते गाव सोडले आणि तिरसा या ठिकाणी तो परतला.
When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
22 २२ मग आसा राजाने यहूदातील सर्व प्रजेला मदतीसाठी पाचारण केले. एकही जण त्यातून सुटला नाही. ते सर्व रामा येथे गेले. तिथून त्यांनी बाशाची दगड, लाकूड वगैरे सर्व बांधकामसामग्री आणली. बन्यामीनमधील गिबा आणि मिस्पा येथे या सर्व वस्तू त्यांनी वाहून नेल्या. आसाने ही नगरे चांगली भक्कम केली.
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.
23 २३ आसाबद्दलच्या इतर गोष्टी, त्याचे पराक्रम, त्याने बांधलेली नगरे या सगळ्यांची माहिती यहूदाच्या राजांच्या इतिहास या पुस्तकात लिहिलेली आहे. म्हातारपणी आसा पायाच्या दुखण्याने बेजार झाला.
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.
24 २४ आसाचे निधन झाल्यावर त्याच्या पूर्वजांच्या दावीद याच्या नगरात त्याचे दफन झाले. त्यानंतर त्याचा पुत्र यहोशाफाट राज्य करु लागला.
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.
25 २५ यहूदाचा राजा म्हणून आसाचे दुसरे वर्ष चालू असताना यराबामाचा पुत्र नादाब इस्राएलचा राजा झाला. त्याने इस्राएलवर दोन वर्षे राज्य केले.
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.
26 २६ नादाबने परमेश्वरविरोधी कृत्ये केली. आपले वडिल यराबाम यांच्यासारखीच दुष्कृत्ये केली यराबामाने इस्राएल लोकांसही पाप करायला लावले होते.
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.
27 २७ बाशा हा अहीयाचा पुत्र. हे इस्साखाराच्या वंशातले. बाशाने नादाब राजाला मारायचा कट केला. नादाब आणि इस्राएल लोक गिब्बथोन या पलिष्ट्यांच्या नगराला वेढा घालत होते तेव्हाची ही गोष्ट आहे. बाशाने या ठिकाणी नादाबला ठार केले.
[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.
That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
29 २९ बाशा राजा झाल्यावर त्याने यराबामाच्या कुळातील सर्वांना ठार केले. कोणाचीही त्याने गय केली नाही. शिलोचा संदेष्टा अहीया यांच्यामार्फत परमेश्वराने जी भविष्यवाणी केली होती तसेच हे झाले.
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).
30 ३० राजा यराबामाने बरीच पापे केली होती, तसेच इस्राएल लोकांसही ती करायला लावली म्हणून हे घडले. इस्राएलचा परमेश्वर देव याचा यराबामावर कोप झाला
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.
Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
33 ३३ यहूदाचा राजा आसाच्या कारकिर्दीच्या तिसऱ्या वर्षी अहीयाचा पुत्र बाशा हा इस्राएलचा राजा झाला. तिरसामध्ये राहून त्याने चोवीस वर्षे राज्य केले.
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.
34 ३४ पण परमेश्वराच्या दृष्टीने जे वाईट ते त्याने केले. आपले वडिल यराबाम यांनी केली तीच पातके बाशानेही केली. यराबामाने इस्राएल लोकांसही पापे करायला लावली होती.
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.
