१ राजाहरू 12
1 रहबाम शकेममा गए किनकि सारा इस्राएल तिनलाई राजा बनाउन शकेममा आउँदै थिए ।
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
2 नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो कुरा सुन्दा (तिनी अझैसम्म मिश्रमा नै थिए जहाँ तिनी सोलोमन राजाको उपस्थितिबाट भागेर गएका थिए) तिनी मिश्रमा नै बसेका थिए ।
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt; )
3 त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले यारोबामलाई बोलाइपठाए, अनि यारोबाम र इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय रहबामकहाँ आएर भने,
That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto Rehoboam, saying,
4 “तपाईंका पिताले हाम्रो जुवा गरुङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो । अब तपाईंका पिताले हामीमाथि राखिदिनुभएको भारी र जुवा हलुङ्गो बनाइदिनुहोस्, अनि हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्ने छौँ ।
Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve you.
5 रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरू जानुहोस् र तिनदिनपछि फर्केर आउनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले मानिसहरू प्रस्थान गरे ।
And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
6 रहबाम राजाले आफ्ना पिता सोलोमन जीवित छँदा तिनको सामु खडा हुने पाका मानिसहरूसित सरसल्लाह लिए र भने, “यी मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिन तपाईंहरू मलाई के सल्लाह दिनुहुन्छ?”
And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do all of you advise that I may answer this people?
7 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “आज तपाईं तिनीहरूका सेवक बनी तिनीहरूको सेवा गर्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई असल जवाफ दिनुभयो भने तिनीहरू सधैँ तपाईंका सेवकहरू हुने छन् ।”
And they spoke unto him, saying, If you will be a servant unto this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.
8 तर रहबामले यी पाका मानिसहरूले दिएको सल्लाहलाई बेवास्ता गरे, र आफूसँगै हुर्केर आफ्नो सामु खडा हुने युवाहरूसित सल्लाह लिए ।
But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
9 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “'तपाईंका पिताले हामीमाथि राखिदिनुभएको जुवा हलुको पारिदिनुहोस्' भनी बताउने मानिसहरूलाई मैले कस्तो जवाफ दिनुपर्छ भनी तिमीहरू मलाई के सल्लाह दिन्छौ?”
And he said unto them, What counsel give all of you that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which your father did put upon us lighter?
10 आफूसँगै हुर्केका युवाहरूले रहबामलाई यसो भने, “तपाईंका पिता सोलोमनले तिनीहरूको जुवा गरुङ्गो बनाइदिनुभयो र अब तपाईंले यसलाई हलुको बनाइदिनुपर्छ भनी बताउने मानिसहरूलाई गएर यसो भन्नुहोस्, ‘मेरो कान्छी औँला मेरा पिताको कम्मरभन्दा मोटो छ ।
And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying, Thus shall you speak unto this people that spoke unto you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it lighter unto us; thus shall you say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 त्यसैले अब मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूमाथि गरुङ्गो जुवा बोकाउनुभएको थियो । म त्यो अझै गरुङ्गो पारिदिने छु । मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्रा लगाउनुभएको थियो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले डस्न लगाउने छु' ।”
And now whereas my father did load you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father has chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 त्यसैले तेस्रो दिनमा यारोबाम र सारा मानिस रहबामकहाँ आए । किनकि राजाले यसो भनी निर्देशन दिएका थिए, “तेस्रो दिनमा मकहाँ फर्केर आओ ।”
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
13 राजाले मानिसहरूलाई कडा तवरले जवाफ दिए, र तिनले पाका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई दिएको सल्लाहको बेवास्ता गरे ।
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
14 तिनले युवाहरूको सल्लाह मानी तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूमाथि गरुङ्गो जुवा बोकाउनुभएको थियो । म त्यो अझै गरुङ्गो पारिदिने छु । मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्रा लगाउनुभएको थियो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले डस्न लगाउने छु ।”
And spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 यसरी राजाले मानिसहरूको कुरा सुनेनन् किनकि शीलोका अहियाहद्वारा नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई उहाँले भन्नुभएको वचन पुरा होस् भनेर परमप्रभुले यस्तो परिस्थिति ल्याउनुभएको थियो ।
Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 जब सारा इस्राएलको कुरा राजाले नसुनेको तिनीहरूले देखे तब मानिसहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “दाऊदमा हाम्रो के हिस्सा छ र? यिशैका छोरामा हाम्रो कुनै उत्तराधिकार छैन! हे इस्राएली हो, आ-आफ्ना पालमा जाओ । हे दाऊद, तिमी आफ्नै घर सम्हाल ।” यसरी इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना पालमा फर्केर गए ।
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
17 तर रहबाम यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्ने इस्राएलीहरूका राजा बने ।
But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 तब रहबाम राजाले बेगार काममा लगाउने मानिसहरूका जिम्मावाल अदोनीरामलाई पठाए, तर सारा इस्राएलले तिनलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे । रहबाम राजा आफ्नो रथमा चढेर झट्टै यरूशलेममा भागे ।
Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 त्यसैले आजको दिनसम्म इस्राएल दाऊदको घरानाको विरुद्धमा बागी बनेको छ ।
So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
20 यारोबाम फर्के भनी जब सारा इस्राएलले सुने तिनीहरूको आफ्नो सभामा तिनलाई बोलाउनपठाइ तिनलाई सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए । यहूदाको कुलबाहेक दाऊदको परिवारलाई पछ्याउने कोही भएन ।
And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
21 जब रहबाम यरूशलेममा आए तिनले यहूदाको सबै घराना र बेन्यामीन कुललाई भेला गरे । इस्राएलको घरानाको विरुद्धमा लडी सोलोमनका छोरा रहबामको राज्यलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्न त्यहाँ १,८०,००० चुनिएका योद्धा जम्मा भएका थिए ।
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22 तर परमेश्वरका जन शमायाहकहाँ परमेश्वरको वचन आयो,
But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 “सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका सम्पूर्ण घरानासाथै बाँकी सबै मानिसलाई भन्,
Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
24 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः आफ्ना दाजुभाइ इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई तिमीहरूले आक्रमण नगर्नू वा तिनीहरूसित लडाइँ नगर्नू । हरेक मानिस आ-आफ्नो घरमा फर्केर जाओस् किनकि यो काम मैले गरेको हुँ' ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुने र तिनीहरू फर्केर आ-आफ्नो बाटो लागे । यसरी तिनीहरूले उहाँको वचन पालन गरे ।
Thus says the LORD, All of you shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
25 तब यारोबामले एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा शकेमलाई मजबुत पारी तिनी त्यहीँ बसे । तिनी त्यहाँबाट गएर तिनले पनीएल सहर बनाए ।
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
26 यारोबामले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा सोचे, “अब यो राज्य दाऊदको घरानामा फर्कने छ ।
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
27 यी मानिसहरू यरूशलेमस्थित परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा बलिदान चढाउन गए भने यी मानिसहरूका ह्रदय तिनीहरूका मालिक अर्थात् यहूदाका राजा रहबामकहाँ फर्कने छन् । मलाई मारेर तिनीहरू यहूदाका राजा रहबामकहाँ फर्केने छन् ।”
If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people return unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 यसैले राजा यारोबामले सरसल्लाह लिई सुनका दुईवटा बाछा बनाए । तिनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई यरूशलेमसम्म जान निकै टाढा हुन्छ । हे इस्राएली हो, तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट ल्याउने देवताहरू यी नै हुन् ।”
Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
29 तिनले एउटालाई बेथेलमा र अर्कोलाई दानमा राखे ।
And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
30 यसरी यही कार्य नै पाप बन्यो । मानिसहरू एक ठाउँदेखि अर्को ठाउँमा र दानसम्मै पुजा गर्न गए ।
And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
31 यारोबामले डाँडामा पुजा गर्ने ठाउँहरू बनाए, र तिनले सबै मानिसका बिचबाट पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे जो लेवीका छोराहरूमध्येका थिएनन् ।
And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the low of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
32 आठौँ महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा यहूदामा जस्तै यारोबामले एउटा चाड ठहराए, र तिनी वेदीमा गए । तिनले बेथेलमा आफूले बनाएका बाछाहरूका निम्ति बलिदान चढाए, र तिनले बेथेलमा आफूले बनाएका डाँडाका ठाउँहरूमा पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
33 आफ्नो मनमा योजना बनाएअनुसार आठौँ महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा बेथेलमा आफूले निर्माण गरेको वेदीमा तिनले बलिदान चढाए । यसरी तिनले इस्राएलीहरूका निम्ति चाड ठहराए, र धूप बाल्न आफै वेदीमा उक्लेर जाने गरे ।
So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
