१ राजाहरू 20
1 अरामका राजा बेन-हददले आफ्ना सबै सेनालाई जम्मा गरे । तिनीसित बत्तिस स-साना राजा, घोडाहरू र रथहरू थिए । तिनी माथि उक्लेर सामरियालाई घेरा हाली यसको विरुद्धमा लडे ।
And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
2 तिनले इस्राएलका राजा आहाबको सहरमा सन्देशवाकहरू पठाएर भने, “बेन-हदद यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, '
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus says Benhadad,
3 तपाईंका सुन र चाँदी मेरा हुन् । साथै, तपाईंका सबैभन्दा राम्रा-राम्रा पत्नीहरू र बालबच्चा मेरै हुन्' ।”
Your silver and your gold is mine; your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.
4 इस्राएलका राजाले भने, “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, तपाईंले भन्नुभएझैँ म र मेरा सबै तपाईंकै हुन् ।”
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to your saying, I am yours, and all that I have.
5 सन्देशवाकहरू फर्केर आएर भने, “बेन-हदद यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तपाईंले तपाईंका चाँदी, तपाईंका सुन, तपाईंका पत्नीहरू र बालबच्चा मलाई दिनुपर्छ भनी मैले समाचार पठाएँ ।
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto you, saying, You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
6 तर म भोली यसै बेलातिर मेरा दासहरूलाई पठाउने छु, र तिनीहरूले तपाईंको घर र तपाईंका अधिकारीहरूका घरहरू खोजतलास गर्ने छन् । तिनीहरूलाई इच्छा लागेअनुसार तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हातले ती ल्याउने छन्' ।”
Yet I will send my servants unto you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in your eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
7 तब इस्राएलका राजाले देशका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई जम्मा गरी भने, “यी मानिसले त सङ्कष्ट ल्याउन खोज्दै छन् भनी ख्याल गर्नुहोस् । मेरा पत्नीहरू, बालबच्चा, चाँदी र सुन लैजान तिनले मकहाँ समाचार पठाएका छन्, तर मैले इन्कार गरिदिएको छु ।”
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeks mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
8 सारा धर्म-गुरु र मानिसहरूले आहाबलाई भने, “तिनको कुरा नसुन्नुहोस्, वा तिनको आज्ञामा सहमति नजनाउनुहोस् ।”
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
9 त्यसैले आहाबले बेन-हददका सन्देशवाहकरूलाई भने, “मेरा मालिक राजालाई भनिदेऊ, 'तपाईंले पहिलो पटक आफ्नो दासमार्फत भन्नुभएको हरेक कुरामा म सहमत हुन्छु, तर यो दोस्रो मागलाई चाहिँ स्वीकार गर्दिनँ' ।” त्यसैले सन्देशवाहकरू त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरे र बेन-हददको निम्ति यो जवाफ लिएर गए ।
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you did send in order to your servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
10 तब बेन-हददले आहाबलाई जवाफ पठाए, “सामरियाको बाँकी धूलो मेरो हरेक मानिसलाई एक-एक मुट्ठी दिन पुग्यो भने पनि देवताहरूले मलाई त्यस्तै वा त्योभन्दा कठोर व्यवहार गरून् ।”
And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
11 इस्राएलका राजाले जवाफ दिए, “बेन-हददलाई भन्, 'भर्खरै कवच भिर्ने मानिसले त्यो फुकाल्ने मानिसले झैँ घमण्ड गर्नुहुँदैन' ।”
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girds on his harness boast himself as he that puts it off.
12 बेन-हदद र तिनी मुनिका राजाहरूले तिनीहरूका पालहरूमा मद्य पिइरहँदा तिनले यो समाचार सुने । बेन-हददले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा दिए, “युद्धको लागि पङ्क्तिबद्ध होओ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू त्यस सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्न तयार भए ।
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
13 तब हेर, एक जना अगमवक्ता इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ आई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'के तैँले यो विशाल सेनालाई देख्दै छस्? हेर्, म आज यसलाई तेरो हातमा सुम्पिदिने छु, र म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैँले थाहा पाउने छस्' ।”
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have you seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
14 आहाबले जवाफ दिए, “कोद्वारा?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जिल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरूद्वारा ।” तब आहाबले भने, “कसले युद्धको थालनी गर्ने छ?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “तैँले ।”
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, You.
15 तब आहाबले जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरूलाई भेला गराए । तिनीहरू दुई सय बत्तिस जना थिए । त्यसपछि तिनले इस्राएलका सबै सिपाहीलाई जम्मा गरे । तिनीहरू सात हजार थिए ।
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 तिनीहरू मध्य दिनमा बाहिर निस्के । बेन-हदद र तिनको समर्थन गर्ने तिनीमुनिका बत्तिस जना राजा पालमा मद्य पिएर मातिरहेका थिए ।
And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
17 पहिले जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जिल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरू अगाडि बढे । बेन-हददद्वारा पठाइएका चेवा गर्ने मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “सामरियाबाट मानिसहरू आउँदै छन् ।”
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18 बेन-हददले भने, “तिनीहरू मेलमिलाप वा युद्ध जेसुकैको लागि आएको भए तापनि तिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै ल्याओ ।”
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
19 त्यसैले जिल्ला-जिल्लाका जिल्लापालहरूको सेवा गर्ने जवान अधिकृतहरू सहरबाट बाहिर गए, र सेना तिनीहरूको पछिपछि लागे ।
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
20 हरेकले आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीलाई मार्यो । अरामीहरू भागे, र इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई खेदे । अरामका राजा बेन-हदद केही घोडचढीहरूसँगै घोडामा चढेर उम्के ।
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
21 तब इस्राएलका राजा बाहिर निस्केर घोडाहरू र रथहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे, र अरामीहरूको ठुलो संहार गरे ।
And the king of Israel went out, and stroke the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 त्यसैले अगमवक्ता इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ आई भने, “जानुहोस्, र आफैलाई बलियो पार्नुहोस्, अनि तपाईंले जे गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ त्यसलाई बुझेर योजना बनाउनुहोस् किनकि नयाँ वर्षमा अरामका राजा तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आउने छन् ।”
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.
23 अरामका राजाका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तिनीहरूका ईश्वर त पहाडहरूका ईश्वर रहेछन् । त्यसकारण तिनीहरू हामीभन्दा शक्तिशाली भएका हुन् । तर अब तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा मैदानमा लडौँ, र निश्चय नै हामी तिनीहरूभन्दा शक्तिशाली हुने छौँ ।
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 त्यसैले तपाईंले यसो गर्नुहोस्, 'सबै राजालाई तिनीहरूका पदबाट हटाई तिनीहरूको सट्टामा सेनाका नायकहरूलाई राख्नुहोस् ।
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
25 तपाईंले गुमाउनुभएका सेनाजस्तै सेना तयार पार्नुहोस् । घोडाको लागि घोडा र रथको लागि रथ तयार पार्नुहोस् । यसरी हामी तिनीहरूसित मैदानमा लड्न सक्छौँ । तब निश्चय नै हामी तिनीहरूभन्दा शक्तिशाली हुने छौँ ।” त्यसैले बेन-हददले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुनेर त्यसैअनुसार गरे ।
And number you an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
26 नयाँ वर्षको थालनीपछि बेन-हददले अरामीहरूलाई जम्मा गरी इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा लड्न अपेकमा गए ।
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 इस्राएलीहरू पनि भेला भए, र अरामीहरूको विरुद्धमा लड्न तिनीहरूलाई खानेकुरा दिइयो । इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूको सामुन्ने छाउनी हाले, र तिनीहरू बाख्राका दुईवटा स-साना बगालजस्तै थिए, जब कि अरामीहरूले पुरै मैदानलाई ढाकेका थिए ।
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
28 तब एक जना परमेश्वरका जन नजिक आई इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'अरामीहरूले परमप्रभु पहाडहरूका ईश्वर हुनुहुँदोरहेछ, उपत्यकाको ईश्वर होइन रहेछ भनी भनेकाले म यो विशाल सेनालाई तेरो हातमा सुम्पिदिने छु, र म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैँले थाहा पाउने छस्' ।”
And there came a man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus says the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and all of you shall know that I am the LORD.
29 त्यसैले सेनाहरूले सात दिनसम्म एक-अर्काको सामुन्ने छाउनी हाले । अनि सातौँ दिनमा युद्ध सुरु भयो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले एकै दिनमा एक लाख पैदल अरामीलाई मारे ।
And they pitched one opposite to the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 बाँकी रहेकाहरू अपेक सहरभित्र भागे, र सत्ताइस हजारमाथि पर्खाल ढलेर बज्र्यो । बेन-हदद भागेर सहरको भित्री कोठामा गए ।
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31 बेन-हददका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “अब हेर्नुहोस्, इस्राएलको घरानाका राजाहरू कृपालु छन् भनी हामीले सुनेका छौँ । हाम्रा कम्मरको वरिपरि भाङ्ग्रा लगाएर शिरका वरिपरि फेटा बाँधेर इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ जाऔँ । सायद तिनले तपाईंको ज्यान जोगाउनुहुने छ ।”
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray you, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: possibly he will save your life.
32 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना कम्मरवरिपरि भाङ्ग्रा लगाए, र शिरमा फेटा बाँधे अनि इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ आई भने, 'तपाईंका दास बेन-हददले भन्नुभएको छ, 'कृपया, मलाई बाँच्न दिनुहोस्' ।” आहाबले भने, “के तिनी अझै जिउँदै छन्? तिनी त मेरा भाइ हुन् ।”
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your servant Benhadad says, I pray you, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33 अब ती मानिसहरूले राजाबाट कुनै चिन्ह सुन्ने अपेक्षा गर्दै थिए । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले झट्टै उत्तर दिए, “ज्यू, हजुरका दास बेन-हदद जीवितै हुनुहुन्छ ।” तब बेन-हददले भने, “गएर तिनलाई ल्याओ ।” तब बेन-हदद तिनीकहाँ आए, र आहाबले तिनलाई आफ्नो रथमा चढाए ।
Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Your brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go all of you, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 बेन-हददले आहाबलाई भने, “मेरा पिताले तपाईंका पिताबाट लिनुभएका सहरहरू म तपाईंलाई पुनर्स्थापित गरिदिने छु, र मेरा पिताले सामरियामा गरेझैँ तपाईंले आफ्नो लागि दमस्कसमा बजारहरू स्थापित गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।” आहाबले जवाफ दिए, “यो सम्झौतासहित म तिमीलाई छाडिदिने छु ।” त्यसैले आहाबले तिनीसित सम्झौता गरी तिनलाई जान दिए ।
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from your father, I will restore; and you shall make streets for you in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send you away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
35 अगमवक्ताका छोराहरूमद्ये कोही एक जनाले आफ्नो कुनै अगमवक्ता साथीलाई परमप्रभुको वचनद्वारा भने, “मलाई हिर्काऊ ।” तर ती मानिसले तिनलाई हिर्काउन इन्कार गरे ।
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Strike me, I pray you. And the man refused to strike him.
36 तब अगमवक्ताले आफ्ना मित्र अगमवक्तालाई भने, “तिमीले परमप्रभुको कुरा नमानेकाले तिमी मबाट जानेबित्तिकै एउटा सिंहले तिमीलाई मार्ने छ ।” ती मानिस प्रस्थान गर्नेबित्तिकै एउटा सिंह आएर तिनलाई मारिदियो ।
Then said he unto him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
37 तब अगमवक्ताले अर्को मानिसलाई फेला पारी तिनलाई भने, “मलाई हिर्काऊ ।”
Then he found another man, and said, Strike me, I pray you. And the man stroke him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
38 त्यसैले ती मानिसले तिनलाई हिर्काई घाइते बनाए । तब अगमवक्ता प्रस्थान गरे र बाटोनेर राजाको प्रतीक्षा गरे । तिनले आँखामा पट्टी बाँधेर गुप्त भेष बनाएका थिए ।
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
39 राजा त्यही बाटो भएर आउँदा अगमवक्ताले राजालाई बोलाएर भने, “तपाईंका दास युद्धको मुखैमा गएका थिए, र एक जना सिपाहीले मलाई रोकेर मकहाँ एक जना मानिस लिएर आई मलाई भन्यो, 'यो मानिसको रक्षा गर । कुनै कारणले गर्दा यो मानिस हरायो भने यसको सट्टामा तिमीले आफ्नो प्राण दिनुपर्ने छ वा तिमीले करिब चौँतिस किलोग्राम चाँदी तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।'
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall your life be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.
40 तर तपाईंका दास यताउता जाँदैमा व्यस्त भएकाले त्यो मानिस भाग्यो ।” तब इस्राएलका राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तेरो दण्ड यही हुने छ जुन तँ आफैले निधो गरिस् ।”
And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall your judgment be; yourself have decided it.
41 तब ती अगमवक्ताले झट्टै आफ्ना आँखाबाट पट्टी निकाले, र तिनी त एक अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी इस्राएलका राजाले चिने ।
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42 अगमवक्ताले राजालाई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले मृत्युदण्ड तोकेको मानिसलाई तैँले आफ्नो हातबाट फुत्किन दिएकोले त्यसको प्राणको सट्टा तेरो प्राण र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूको सट्टा तेरा मानिसहरू हुने छन्' ।”
And he said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
43 त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजा उदास भए, र रिसाएर सामरियामा आफ्नो महलमा आइपुगे ।
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
