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 things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, close to the palace of Ahab 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 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seemeth good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3 नाबोतले आहाबलाई जवाफ दिए, “मेरा पुर्खाहरूका पैतृक सम्पत्ति मैले तपाईंलाई दिनदेखि परमप्रभुले मलाई निषेध गरून् ।”
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to 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 Ahab came into his house sad and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give 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 Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest 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 to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleaseth thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give 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 ।”
And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat food, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
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 Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with 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 set Naboth on high among 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 set two men, worthless men, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, 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, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
12 तिनीहरूले उपवासको घोषणा गरे, र नाबोतलाई मानिसहरूभन्दा आदरको स्थानमा बसाए ।
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among 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 men, and sat before him: and the worthless men witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. Then they carried 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 ।”
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is 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 Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, 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 Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, 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 Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess 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 to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
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 Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight 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 will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left 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 will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 परमप्रभुले ईजेबेलको सम्बन्धमा पनि यसो भन्नुभएको छ, 'यिजरेलको पर्खालको छेउमा नै कुकुरहरूले ईजेबेललाई खाने छन् ।'
And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 आहाबको घरानामा भएको हरेक जो सहरमा मर्छ त्यसलाई कुकुरहरूले खाने छन्, र मैदानमा मर्ने हरेकलाई आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरूले खाने छन् ।”
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 आहाबजस्तो कोही थिएन जसले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गर्न आफैलाई बेचे जसलाई तिनकी पत्नीले पाप गर्न उक्साएकी थिइन् ।
But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 आहाबले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूको सामुबाट हटाउनुभएका मूर्तिहरूलाई पछ्याई एमोरीहरूले गरेजस्तै घृणित कामहरू गरे ।
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out 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 Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
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 ।”
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
