१ राजाहरू 12
1 रहबाम शकेममा गए किनकि सारा इस्राएल तिनलाई राजा बनाउन शकेममा आउँदै थिए ।
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel had 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 had 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 to 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 ।
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
5 रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरू जानुहोस् र तिनदिनपछि फर्केर आउनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले मानिसहरू प्रस्थान गरे ।
And he said to 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 ye 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 to him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant to this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy 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 had grown up with him, [and] who 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 to them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy 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 had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak to this people who spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] lighter to us; thus shalt thou say to 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 burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath 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 to the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to 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 to 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 thy own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents.
17 तर रहबाम यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्ने इस्राएलीहरूका राजा बने ।
But [as for] the children of Israel who 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 enter 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 to 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 had come again, that they sent and called him to 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 had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who 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 to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 “सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका सम्पूर्ण घरानासाथै बाँकी सबै मानिसलाई भन्,
Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon king of Judah, and to 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 saith the LORD, Ye 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 in it, 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 perform sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again to their lord, [even] to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and return 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 ।”
Upon which the king took counsel, and made two calves [of] gold, and said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
29 तिनले एउटालाई बेथेलमा र अर्कोलाई दानमा राखे ।
And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other he placed 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] to Dan.
31 यारोबामले डाँडामा पुजा गर्ने ठाउँहरू बनाए, र तिनले सबै मानिसका बिचबाट पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे जो लेवीका छोराहरूमध्येका थिएनन् ।
And he made a house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who 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 the feast that [is] in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Beth-el, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el 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 Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth month, [even] in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast to the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
