१ राजाहरू 21
1 यो केही समय बितेपछिको कुरा हो । सामरियाका राजा आहाबको दरबार नजिकै यिजरेलमा यिजरेली नाबोतको एउटा दाखबारी थियो ।
After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next 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 ।”
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3 नाबोतले आहाबलाई जवाफ दिए, “मेरा पुर्खाहरूका पैतृक सम्पत्ति मैले तपाईंलाई दिनदेखि परमप्रभुले मलाई निषेध गरून् ।”
Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
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 ।
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
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 your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
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' ।”
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you 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 ।”
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you 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 who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 उनले चिठीहरूमा यसो लेखेकी थिइन्, “उपवासको घोषणा गरी नाबोतलाई मानिसहरूका बिचमा आदरको स्थानमा बसाओ ।
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high amongst 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 ।
Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
11 त्यसैले नाबोतको सहरका मानिसहरू, धर्म-गुरुहरू र धनी मानिसहरूलाई ईजेबेलले लेखेकी चिठीहरूमा व्याख्या गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले गरे ।
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
12 तिनीहरूले उपवासको घोषणा गरे, र नाबोतलाई मानिसहरूभन्दा आदरको स्थानमा बसाए ।
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high amongst 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 ।
The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 तब धर्म-गुरुहरूले ईजेबेललाई यो खबर पठाइन्, “नाबोतलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिएको छ ।”
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has 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 ।”
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you 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 ।
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिश्बी एलियाकहाँ आयो,
The LORD’s word 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 dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has 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' ।”
You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
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 ।
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight.
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 on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large 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 ।'
I will make your 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 you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 परमप्रभुले ईजेबेलको सम्बन्धमा पनि यसो भन्नुभएको छ, 'यिजरेलको पर्खालको छेउमा नै कुकुरहरूले ईजेबेललाई खाने छन् ।'
The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
24 आहाबको घरानामा भएको हरेक जो सहरमा मर्छ त्यसलाई कुकुरहरूले खाने छन्, र मैदानमा मर्ने हरेकलाई आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरूले खाने छन् ।”
The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
25 आहाबजस्तो कोही थिएन जसले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गर्न आफैलाई बेचे जसलाई तिनकी पत्नीले पाप गर्न उक्साएकी थिइन् ।
But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 आहाबले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूको सामुबाट हटाउनुभएका मूर्तिहरूलाई पछ्याई एमोरीहरूले गरेजस्तै घृणित कामहरू गरे ।
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, 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 ।
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिश्बी एलियाकहाँ आयो,
The LORD’s word 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 ।”
“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
