१ राजाहरू 21
1 यो केही समय बितेपछिको कुरा हो । सामरियाका राजा आहाबको दरबार नजिकै यिजरेलमा यिजरेली नाबोतको एउटा दाखबारी थियो ।
And it came to pass after these events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the king of Samaria.
2 आहाबले नाबोतलाई यसो भने, “सागबारी लगाउन मलाई तिम्रो दाखबारी देऊ किनकि यो मेरो घर नजिकै छ । यसको सट्टामा म तिमीलाई अझै राम्रो दाखबारी दिने छु वा तिमीले चाह्यौ भने म तिमीलाई यसको दाम तिरिदिने छु ।”
And Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
3 नाबोतले आहाबलाई जवाफ दिए, “मेरा पुर्खाहरूका पैतृक सम्पत्ति मैले तपाईंलाई दिनदेखि परमप्रभुले मलाई निषेध गरून् ।”
And Naboth said to Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 त्यसैले आहाब उदास भए, र रिसाएर आफ्नो दरबारमा गए किनकि यिजरेली नाबोतले तिनलाई यसो भनी जवाफ दिएका थिए, “म मेरा पुर्खाहरूको पैतृक सम्पत्ति तपाईंलाई दिन्नँ ।” तिनी आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा ठुस्स परेर सुते, र तिनले खाना खान इन्कार गरे ।
And Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
5 तिनकी पत्नी ईजेबेल तिनीकहाँ आएर भनिन्, “खानै नखाने गरी तपाईं किन यति धेरै उदास हुनुभएको छ?”
But Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?
6 तिनले उनलाई जवाफ दिए, “मैले यिजरेली नाबोतलाई भनेँ, 'तिम्रो दाखबारी मलाई बेच वा तिमीलाई इच्छा लागे म तिमीलाई अर्को अझै राम्रो दाखबारी दिने छु ।' तब तिनले मलाई जवाफ दिए, 'म तिमीलाई मेरो दाखबारी दिन्नँ' ।”
And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto thee my vineyard.
7 त्यसैले तिनकी पत्नी ईजेबेलले तिनलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “के तपाईंले इस्राएलको राज्यमाथि शासन गर्नुहुन्न र? उठेर खानुहोस् । तपाईंको मन प्रसन्न होस् । म यिजरेली नाबोतको दाखबारी तपाईंलाई दिलाइदिने छु ।”
Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
8 त्यसैले ईजेबेलले आहाबको नाउँमा चिठीहरू लेखिन्, र तिनका राजाको छाप लगाई नाबोतको सहरमा तिनीसित बस्ने धर्म-गुरुहरू र भारदारहरूकहाँ पठाइन् ।
So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near Naboth.
9 उनले चिठीहरूमा यसो लेखेकी थिइन्, “उपवासको घोषणा गरी नाबोतलाई मानिसहरूका बिचमा आदरको स्थानमा बसाओ ।
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people;
10 तिनीसँगै दुई जना बेइमान मानिसलाई पनि राख जसले तिनको विरुद्धमा यस्तो गवाही देऊन्, 'तपाईंले परमेश्वर र राजालाई सराप दिनुभयो' ।” तब तिनलाई बाहिर लगेर ढुङ्गाले हानेर मार ।
And seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may die.
11 त्यसैले नाबोतको सहरका मानिसहरू, धर्म-गुरुहरू र धनी मानिसहरूलाई ईजेबेलले लेखेकी चिठीहरूमा व्याख्या गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले गरे ।
And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 तिनीहरूले उपवासको घोषणा गरे, र नाबोतलाई मानिसहरूभन्दा आदरको स्थानमा बसाए ।
They proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people.
13 दुई जना बेइमान मानिस आए, र तिनीहरू नाबोतको सामु बसे । मानिसहरूको उपस्थितिमा तिनीहरूले नाबोतको विरुद्धमा यसो भनी गवाही दिए, “नाबोतले परमेश्वर र राजा दुवैलाई सराप दिए ।” त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सहरबाहिर लगी ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे ।
And there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 तब धर्म-गुरुहरूले ईजेबेललाई यो खबर पठाइन्, “नाबोतलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिएको छ ।”
And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead.
15 जब ईजेबेलले नाबोतलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिएको छ भनी सुनिन् उनले आहाबलाई भनिन्, “नाबोत मरिसकेकाले उठ्नुहोस्, र यिजरेली नाबोतको दाखबारी अधिकार गर्नुहोस् जुन बेच्नलाई तिनले इन्कार गरेका थिए ।”
And it came to pass, when Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 नाबोत मरे भनी जब आहाबले सुने तिनी उठेर यिजरेली नाबोतको दाखबारीमा गए, र त्यसको अधिकार गरे ।
And it came to pass, when Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, to take possession of it.
17 तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिश्बी एलियाकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “उठ्, र सामरियामा बस्ने इस्रालका राजा आहाबलाई भेट्न जा । त्यो नाबोतको दाखबारीमा छ जहाँ त्यो दाखबारी हडप्न गएको छ ।
Arise, go down to meet Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
19 तैँले त्यसलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ भनी बता, 'के तैँले त्यसलाई मारेर त्यसको सम्पत्ति हडपेको छस्?’ त्यसपछि त्यसलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ भनी बता, 'जुन ठाउँमा कुकुरहरूले नाबोतको रगत चाटे, त्यही ठाउँमा कुकुरहरूले तेरो रगत, हो तेरै रगत चाट्ने छन्' ।”
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.
20 आहाबले एलियालाई भने, “ए मेरो शत्रु, के तैँले मलाई भेट्टाएको छस्?” एलियाले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गरी आफैलाई बेच्नुभएकोले मैले तपाईंलाई भेट्टाएको छु ।
And Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
21 परमप्रभु तपाईंलाई यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म तँमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउने छु, र इस्राएलमा भएको तेरो हरेक पुरुष, कमारा र फुक्कालाई पूर्ण रूपमा भस्म पारी सर्वनाश पार्ने छु ।
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified in Israel,
22 म तेरो घरानालाई नबातका छोरा यारोबाम र अहियाका छोरा बाशाको घरानाजस्तै तुल्याउने छु किनकि तैँले मलाई रिस उठाई इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाएको छस् ।'
And I will make thy house like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced Israel to sin.
23 परमप्रभुले ईजेबेलको सम्बन्धमा पनि यसो भन्नुभएको छ, 'यिजरेलको पर्खालको छेउमा नै कुकुरहरूले ईजेबेललाई खाने छन् ।'
And also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.
24 आहाबको घरानामा भएको हरेक जो सहरमा मर्छ त्यसलाई कुकुरहरूले खाने छन्, र मैदानमा मर्ने हरेकलाई आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरूले खाने छन् ।”
Him that dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
25 आहाबजस्तो कोही थिएन जसले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गर्न आफैलाई बेचे जसलाई तिनकी पत्नीले पाप गर्न उक्साएकी थिइन् ।
But indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.
26 आहाबले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूको सामुबाट हटाउनुभएका मूर्तिहरूलाई पछ्याई एमोरीहरूले गरेजस्तै घृणित कामहरू गरे ।
And he acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel.
27 जब आहाबले यी वचनहरू सुने तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते, र आफ्नो शरीरमा भाङ्ग्रा लगाए अनि उपवास बसे । तिनी भाङ्ग्रा लगाई अत्यन्तै उदास भए ।
And it came to pass, when Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.
28 तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिश्बी एलियाकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “के आहाबले मेरो सामु आफैलाई विनम्र पारेको तैँले देखेको छस्? त्यसले मेरो सामु आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्याकोले म आउनेवाला विपत्ति त्यसकै समयमा ल्याउँदिनँ । म त्यसको छोराको समयमा त्यसको परिवारमा विपत्ति ल्याउने छु ।”
Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son will I bring the evil upon his house.
