१ राजाहरू 14

1 त्यस बेला यारोबामको छोरो अबिया अत्यन्तै बिरामी पर्‍यो ।

At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill,

2 यारोबामले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई भने, “उठ र तिमी मेरी पत्नी हौ भनी नचिन्नलाई आफ्नो भेष बदली गर । अनि शीलोमा जाऊ किनकि अहियाह अगमवक्ता त्यहीँ छन् । यी मानिसहरूमाथि म नै राजा हुनेथिएँ भनी मेरो बारेमा बताउने तिनी नै थिए ।

and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people.

3 आफ्नो साथमा दसवटा रोटी, केही फुरौला र एक भाँडो मह लिएर अहियाहकहाँ जाऊ । बालकलाई के हुने छ भनी तिनले तिमीलाई बताउने छन् ।”

Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the boy.”

4 यारोबामकी पत्नीले त्यसै गरिन् । उनी बाटो लागिन् र शीलोमा गइन्, र अहियाहको घरमा आइन् । अहियाहले देख्न सक्दैनथे । तिनको वृद्धावस्थाको कारणले तिनले आफ्ना आँखाको ज्योति गुमाएका थिए ।

Jeroboam’s wife did as instructed; she arose and went to Shiloh and arrived at Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.

5 परमप्रभुले अहियाहलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, यारोबामकी पत्नी आफ्नो छोरोको बारेमा तँबाट सल्लाह लिन आउँदै छे किनकि त्यसको छोरो बिरामी परेको छ । तैँले यस्तो-यस्तो जवाफ दिनू किनकि त्यो अर्कै स्त्री भएझैँ त्यसले नाटक गर्छे ।”

But the LORD had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be disguised.”

6 उनी ढोकामा आइपुग्दा अहियाहले उनको खुट्टाको आवाज सुने, र भने, “हे यारोबामकी पत्नी, भित्र आऊ । किन तिमी अर्कै स्त्री भएझैँ नाटक गर्छ्यौ? म खराब समाचारसहित तिमीकहाँ पठाइएको छु ।

So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.

7 गएर यारोबामलाई भन कि इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले तँलाई मेरो जाति इस्राएलमाथि अगुवा हुनलाई मानिसहरूका बिचबाट उठाएँ ।

Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over My people Israel.

8 मेरो दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ त्यही गर्न अनि मेरा आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्न र सारा ह्रदयले मेरो पछि लाग्ने मेरा दास दाऊदजस्तै तँ नभए तापनि मैले दाऊदको घरानाबाट राज्य टुक्र्याई त्यो तँलाई दिएँ ।

I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.

9 तर तैँले तँभन्दा अगिका सबैले भन्दा दुष्ट काम गरेको छस् । तैँले अरू देवताका मूर्तिहरू र ढालेर बनाएका धातुका प्रतिमूर्तिहरू बनाएर मलाई रिस उठाएको छस्, र मलाई तेरो पीठपछि राखेको छस् ।

You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you have flung Me behind your back.

10 त्यसकारण हेर्, म तेरो परिवारमा विपत्ति ल्याउने छु । चाहे कमारा होस् या फुक्का, म इस्राएलको हरेक पुरुष बालकलाई खतम पारिदिने छु, र तेरो घरानालाई गोबर जलाएझैँ पूर्ण रूपमा हटाइदिने छु ।

Because of all this, behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!

11 तेरो घरानाको हरेक व्यक्ति जो यस सहरमा मर्छ, त्यसलाई कुकुरहरूले खाने छन्, अनि खेतमा मर्ने जोसुकैलाई आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरूले खाने छन् किनकि म परमप्रभुले यसो भनेको छु ।'

Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’

12 त्यसैले हे यारोबामकी पत्नी, उठेर आफ्नो घर फर्केर जाऊ । तिमी सहरमा प्रवेश गर्दा तिम्रो बालक अबिया मर्ने छ ।

As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.

13 सारा इस्राएलले त्यसको निम्ति शोक गर्ने छन् र त्यसलाई गाड्ने छन् । यारोबामको परिवारबाट चिहानमा जाने त्यही मात्र हुने छ किनकि यारोबामको घरबाट त्यसले मात्र इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा निगाह पायो ।

All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. For this is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has the LORD, the God of Israel, found any good in the house of Jeroboam.

14 साथै, त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले इस्राएलबाट एक जना राजा उठाउनुहुने छ जसले यारोबामको परिवारलाई खतम पारिदिने छ । आज नै त्यही दिन हो ।

Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!

15 किनकि पानीमा निगालो हल्लिएझैँ परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई हल्लाउनुहुने छ, र उहाँले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको यस असल देशबाट जरैदेखि उखेलिदिनुहुने छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई यूफ्रेटिस नदीभन्दा पारि तितर-बितर पारिदिनुहुने छ किनकि तिनीहरूले अशेराका खम्बाहरू बनाई परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाएका छन् ।

For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.

16 यारोबामले पाप गरेका कारण र तिनले इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाएकाले उहाँले इस्राएललाई त्यागिदिनुहुने छ ।”

So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”

17 त्यसैले यारोबामकी पत्नी उठिन् र बाटो लागिन् अनि तिर्सामा आइन् । उनले आफ्नो घरको सँघार टेक्दा बालक मर्‍यो ।

Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.

18 सारा इस्राएलले त्यसलाई गाडे, र त्यसको निम्ति शोक गरे जस्तो परमप्रभुले आफ्ना दास अहियाह अगमवक्ताद्वारा भन्नुभएको थियो ।

And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the prophet.

19 यारोबामका अन्य कामहरूको बारेमा अर्थात् कसरी तिनले युद्ध गरे र शासन गरे भन्ने विषयमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।

As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

20 यारोबामले बाइस वर्ष शासन गरे, र त्यसपछि तिनी आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुत्न गए, अनि तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा नादाब राजा भए ।

And the length of Jeroboam’s reign was twenty-two years, and he rested with his fathers, and his son Nadab reigned in his place.

21 सोलोमनका छोरा रहबामले यहूदामा शासन गर्दै थिए । रहबाम राजा हुँदा तिनी एकचालिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले परमप्रभुले आफ्नो नाउँ राख्न इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट चुन्नुभएको सहर यरूशलेममा सत्र वर्ष शासन गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ नामा थियो जो एक अम्मोनी स्त्री थिइन् ।

Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.

22 यहूदाले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ त्यही गरे । तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूले गरेका पापभन्दा बढी पाप गरेर तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई डाही तुल्याए ।

And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.

23 किनकि तिनीहरूले पनि आफ्ना लागि प्रत्येक उच्च स्थान र हरियो रुखमुनि डाँडाका ठाउँहरू, ढुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरू र अशेराका खम्बाहरू बनाए ।

They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

24 त्यस देशमा झुटा धर्मसम्बन्धी वेश्याहरू पनि थिए । परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूकै सामुबाट धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूले अभ्यास गरेका घिनलाग्दा कार्यहरू नै तिनीहरूले गरे ।

There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

25 राजा रहबामको शासनकालको पाँचौँ वर्षमा मिश्रका राजा शीशकले यरूशलेमको विरुद्धमा आक्रमण गरे ।

In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.

26 तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजको महलका खजानाहरू लिएर गए । तिनले हरेक कुरो लिएर गए । तिनले सोलोमनले बनाएका सुनका ढालहरू पनि लिएर गए ।

He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.

27 राजा रहबामले तिनको सट्टामा काँसाका ढालहरू बनाए, र राजाको महलको ढोकाहरूको रक्षा गर्ने रक्षकहरूका हातमा जिम्मा दिए ।

Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.

28 राजा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा प्रवेश गर्दा ती रक्षकहरूले ती ढालहरू बोक्थे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले ती रक्षक कोठामा ल्याएर राख्ने गर्थे ।

And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.

29 रहबामले गरेका अरू सबै कामहरूको बारेमा के यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

30 रहबाम र यारोबामको बिचमा युद्ध चलिरह्‍यो ।

There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.

31 यसरी रहबाम आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुत्न गए, र तिनीहरूसँगै दाऊदको सहरमा गाडिए । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ नामा थियो जो अम्मोनी स्त्री थिइन् । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा अबिया राजा भए ।

And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
