१ राजाहरू 16
1 बाशाको विरुद्धमा हनानीका छोरा येहूकहाँ परमप्रभुको वचन आयो,
During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
2 “मैले तँलाई धूलोबाट उठाई मेरो जाति इस्राएलमाथि अगुवा बनाए तापनि तँ यारोबामको चालमा हिँडी तैँले मेरो जाति इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाएको छस् र तिनीहरूका पापद्वारा मलाई रिस उठाएको छस् ।
“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
3 हेर्, म बाशा र त्यसको घरानालाई पूर्ण रूपमा निमिट्यान्न पारिदिने छु र तेरो घरानालाई नबातका छोरा यारोबामको परिवारजस्तै तुल्याउने छु ।
So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
4 बाशाको घरानाका सहरमा मर्ने जोसुकैलाई कुकुरहरूले खाने छन्, र खेतमा मर्नेलाई चाहिँ आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरूले खाने छन् ।”
[The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
5 के बाशाले गरेका अरू कामहरू र तिनको शक्तिको बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
6 बाशा आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुत्न गए, र तिनलाई तिर्सामा गाडियो । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा एलाह राजा भए ।
When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
7 यारोबामको घरानाले गरेजस्तै बाशाले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा गरेका सबै खराबी गरेकाले र आफ्ना हातको कामले उहाँलाई रिस उठाएकाले र तिनले यारोबामको घरानाका सबैलाई मारेकाले बाशा र तिनको परिवारको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको वचन हनानीका छोरा अगमवक्ता येहूकहाँ आयो ।
Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
8 यहूदाका राजा आसाको छब्बिसौँ वर्षमा बाशाका छोरा एलाहले तिर्सामा बसेर सारा इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न थाले । तिनले दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
9 तिनको दास जिम्री अर्धरथ-सेनाका सेनापति थिए जसले राजाको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र गरे । त्यस बेला एलाह तिर्सामा भएको आफ्नो राजमहलको जिम्मावाल आर्साको घरमा मद्यपान गरिरहेका थिए ।
[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
10 जिम्री भित्र पसे, र राजामाथि आक्रमण गरी तिनलाई मारे । यहूदाका राजा आसाको सत्ताइसौँ वर्षमा जिम्री तिनको ठाउँमा राजा भए ।
Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
11 जब जिम्री आफ्नो सिंहासनमा बसी शासन गर्न थाले, तिनले बाशाका सबै घरानालाई मारे । तिनले बाशाका आफन्त वा मित्रहरूमध्ये एउटै पनि पुरुषलाई जिउँदो छाडेनन् ।
As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
12 यसरी अगमवक्ता येहूद्वारा परमप्रभुले बाशाको विरुद्धमा बोल्नुभएको वचनमुताबिक जिम्रीले बाशाका सारा घरानालाई नष्ट गरिदिए ।
That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
13 बाशा र तिनका छोरा एलाहले गरेका पाप र इस्राएललाई गर्न लगाएका सबै पापको कारण अनि तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाएको कारण यस्तो हुन आएको हो ।
Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
14 के एलाहले गरेका अरू कामहरूको विषयमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
15 यहूदाका राजा आसाको सत्ताइसौँ वर्षमा जिम्रीले तिर्सामा केवल सात दिन शासन गरे । त्यस
So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
16 बेला सेनाचाहिँ पलिश्तीहरूको सहर गिब्बतोनको नजिकै छाउनी हालेर बसेका थिए । छाउनीका सेनाले यो सुने, “जिम्रीले षड्यन्त्र गरी राजालाई मारेका छन् ।” त्यसैले त्यसै दिन छाउनीमा सारा इस्राएलले सेनापति ओम्रीलाई इस्राएका राजा घोषणा गरे ।
The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
17 ओम्री गिब्बतोनबाट गए र तिनीसँगै सारा इस्राएल पनि गए, अनि तिनीहरूले तिर्सालाई घेरा हाले ।
The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
18 त्यसैले जब जिम्रीले सहर घेरा हालिएको देखे तिनी राजाको महलसित गाँसिएको किल्लामा गए, र तिनले राजमहलमा आगो लगाइदिए । यसरी तिनी आगोमा जलेर मरे ।
When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
19 तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरेर यारोबामको चालमा र तिनले गरेका पाप र तिनले इस्राएललाई गर्न लगाएका पापमा हिँडेर ती पाप गरेकाले यसो हुन आएको हो ।
He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
20 के जिम्रीका अरू कामहरू र तिनले गरेको विद्रोहको विषयमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
21 तब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू दुई भागमा विभाजन भए । मानिसहरूमध्ये आधाले गीनतका छोरा तिब्नीलाई राजा बनाउन तिनलाई पछ्याए भने बाँकी आधाले चाहिँ ओम्रीलाई पछ्याए ।
After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
22 तर ओम्रीलाई पछ्याउने मानिसहरू गीनतका छोरा तिब्नीलाई पछ्याउने मानिसहरूभन्दा बढी शक्तिशाली थिए । त्यसैले तिब्नी मरे, र ओम्री राजा बने ।
Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
23 यहूदाका राजा आसाको एकतिसौँ वर्षमा ओम्रीले सारा इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न थाले, र तिनले जम्माजम्मी बाह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनले छ वर्षचाहिँ तिर्साबाट राज्य गरे ।
Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
24 तिनले करिब सत्तरी किलोग्राम चाँदीमा शेमेरको हातबाट सामरियाको डाँडा किने । तिनले त्यसमा एउटा सहर बनाए, र त्यस डाँडाको प्रथम मालिक शेमेरको नाउँमा त्यसको नाउँ सामरिया राखे ।
Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
25 ओम्रीले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे, अनि तिनीभन्दा अगिका सबैले भन्दा तिनी अझै दुष्टतापूर्वक हिँडे ।
But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
26 किनकि तिनी नबातका छोरा यारोबामका सबै चाल र तिनले तिनीहरूका बेकम्मा मूर्तिहरूद्वारा इस्राएललाई गर्न लगाएका पापमा हिँडी तिनले इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाए ।
[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
27 के ओम्रीले गरेका अरू कामहरू र तिनले देखाएको शक्तिको विषयमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासकको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
28 यसरी ओम्री आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुते, र तिनी सामरियामा गाडिए । त्यसपछि तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा आहाब राजा भए ।
After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
29 यहूदाका राजा आसाको अठतिसौँ वर्षमा ओम्रीका छोरा आहाबले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न थाले । ओम्रीका छोरा आहाबले सामरियाबाट इस्राएलमाथि बाइस वर्ष शासन गरे ।
Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
30 ओम्रीका छोरा आहाबले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे । तिनले तिनीभन्दा अगिका सबैले भन्दा अझै खराब गरे ।
Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
31 आहाबको लागि नबातका छोरा यारोबामका पापमा हिँड्नु मामुली कुरा थियो । त्यसैले तिनले सीदोनीहरूका राजा एताबालकी छोरी ईजेबेलसित विवाह गरे । तिनले बालको पुजा गरे र त्यसको सामु निहुरे ।
He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
32 तिनले सामरियामा निर्माण गरेका बालको मन्दिरमा बालको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए ।
He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
33 आहाबले अशेरा देवीको मूर्ति खडा गरे । आहाबले तिनीभन्दा अगिका सबै राजाले भन्दा बढी इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाए ।
He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
34 आहाबको शासनकालमा बेथेलका हीएलले यरीहोको पुनर्निर्माण गरे । हीएलले सहरको जग बसाल्दा तिनको जेठो छोरो अबीरामको मृत्यु भयो । तिनले सहरका मूल ढोकाहरू बनाइरहँदा तिनको कान्छो छोरो सगूबको मृत्यु भयो । यसरी परमप्रभुले नूनका छोरा यहोशूद्वारा बोल्नुभएको वचन पुरा भयो ।
During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
