१ राजाहरू 22
1 अराम र इस्राएलको बिचमा युद्ध नभई तिन वर्ष बित्यो ।
Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
2 तेस्रो वर्षमा यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ गए ।
But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.
3 इस्राएलका राजाले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरूलाई भनेका थिए, “के रामोत-गिलाद हाम्रै हो भनी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छ? तर अरामका राजाका हातबाट यसलाई लिन हामीले केही पनि गरिरहेका छैनौँ ।”
And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
4 त्यसैले तिनले यहोशापातलाई भने, “के तपाईं युद्ध गर्नलाई मसितै रामोत-गिलादमा जानुहुन्छ?” यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईंजस्तै हुँ, मेरा मानिस तपाईंका मानिसजस्तै हुन् र मेरा घोडाहरू तपाईंका घोडाहरू जस्तै हुन् ।”
And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
5 यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “पहिले तपाईंले के गर्नुपर्छ भन्नाका लागि परमप्रभुको वचनबाट निर्देशन खोज्नुहोस् ।”
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”
6 तब इस्राएलका राजाले चार सय अगमवक्तालाई जम्मा गरी तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म रामोत-गिलादमा युद्ध गर्न जाऊँ कि नजाऊँ? तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “आक्रमण गर्नुहोस्, किनकि परमप्रभुले यो राजाका हातमा सुम्पिदिनुहुने छ ।”
Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
7 तर यहोशापातले भने, “के यहाँ परमप्रभुका अर्का कुनै अगमवक्ता छैनन् जसबाट हामीले सल्लाह लिन सक्छौँ?”
Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
8 इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “एक जना मानिस छन् जसबाट हामीले मदतको लागि परमप्रभुबाट सल्लाह लिन सक्छौँ । तिनी यिम्लाका छोरा मीकाया हुन्, तर म तिनलाई घृणा गर्छु किनकि तिनले मेरो बारेमा कुनै असल कुरोको भविष्यवाणी गर्दैनन्, केवल खरावी मात्र बोल्छन् ।” तर यहोशापातले भने, “राजाले यस्तो भन्नुहुँदैन ।”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
9 तब इस्राएलका राजाले एक जना अधिकारीलाई बोलाई तिनलाई हुकुम गरे, “ठिक अहिले नै इम्लाका छोरा मीकायालाई ल्याउनू ।”
Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
10 इस्राएलका राजा आहाब र यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात राजकीय पोशाक पहिरेर सामरियाको मूल ढोकाको खुला ठाउँमा आ-आफ्नो सिंहासनमा बसिरहेका थिए, र सबै अगमवक्ताले तिनीहरूका सामु अगमवाणी बोल्दै थिए ।
Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
11 केनानका छोरा सिदकियाहले चाहिँ फलामका सिङहरू बनाएका थिए । तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'अरामीहरू नष्ट नभएसम्म तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई यसैले दण्ड दिनू' ।”
Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
12 तब सबै अगमवक्ताले यसो भनी अगमवाणी बोले, “रामोत-गिलादमाथि आक्रमण गरी विजयी हुनुहोस् किनकि परमप्रभुले यो राजाको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभएको छ ।”
And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
13 मीकायालाई बोलाउन गएका सन्देशवाहकले तिनलाई भने, “अब हेर्नुहोस्, अगमवक्ताहरूका वचनहरूले एउटै मुखले राजालाई असल कुरा भन्छन् । तपाईंको वचन तिनीहरूको जस्तै होस् र असल कुराहरू भन्नुहोस् ।”
Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
14 मीकायले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्दछु, कि परमप्रभुले मलाई जे भन्नुहुन्छ, म त्यही भन्ने छु ।”
But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
15 जब तिनी राजाकहाँ आए राजाले तिनलाई भने, “मीकाया, हामी युद्धको लागि रामोत-गिलादमा जाऊँ कि नजाऊँ?” मीकायाले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “आक्रमण गर्नुहोस् र विजयी हुनुहोस् । परमप्रभुले यो तपाईंको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुहुने छ ।”
And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
16 तब राजाले तिनलाई भने, “परमप्रभुको नाउँमा अरू कुरा नभनी साँचो कुरा मात्र भन्नू भनी म तिमीलाई कति पटक शपथ खान लगाऊँ?”
But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”
17 तब मीकायाले भने, “मैले गोठाला नभएका भेडाझैँ सारा इस्राएल पहाडहरूतिर तितर-बितर भएको देखेँ, र परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, 'तिनीहरूसित कुनै गोठालो छैन । हरेक मानिस शान्तिसित आफ्नै घरमा फर्कोस्' ।”
And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’”
18 त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “तिनले मेरो बारेमा असल कुरा नभई केवल विपत्तिको बारेमा अगमवाणी बोल्छन् भनी के मैले तपाईंलाई भनेको होइन र?”
Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
19 तब मीकायाले भने, “त्यसकारण परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्नुहोस्: मैले परमप्रभुलाई उहाँको सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनुभएको अनि उहाँको दाहिने र देब्रे हातपट्टि उहाँनेर सबै स्वर्गीय सेना उभिरहेका देखेँ ।
Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
20 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, 'आहाब रामोत-गिलादमा उक्लेर गई त्यहाँ त्यसको पतन होस् भन्नाका लागि त्यसलाई कसले बहकाउने छ?’ एउटाले एउटा कुरा भन्यो र अर्कोचाहिँले अर्कै कुरा भन्यो ।
And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
21 तब एउटा आत्मा अगाडि बढी त्यो परमप्रभुको सामु उभियो । त्यसले भन्यो, 'म तिनलाई उक्साउने छु ।' परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, 'कसरी?’
But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
22 आत्माले जवाफ दियो, 'म बाहिर जाने छु, र तिनका सबै अगमवक्ताका मुखमा झुट बोल्ने आत्मा बन्ने छु ।' परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, 'तैँल त्यसलाई बहकाउने छस्, र तँ सफल पनि हुने छस् । अब जा र त्यसै गर् ।'
And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
23 त्यसैले अब हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुले तपाईंका यी सबै अगमवक्ताका मुखमा झुट बोल्ने आत्मा हालिदिनुभएको छ, र परमप्रभुले तपाईंको लागि विपत्तिको घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ ।”
So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”
24 तब केनानका छोरा सिदकियाह माथि उक्लेर आई मीकायाको गालामा थप्पड हानेर भने, “तिमीसित बोल्न परमप्रभुका आत्मा मबाट कुनचाहिँ बाटो भएर जानुभयो त?”
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
25 मीकायाले भने, “हेर, तिमी भित्र कोठामा लुक्न जाँदा त्यस दिन तिमी आफैले देख्ने छौ ।”
And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
26 इस्राएलका राजाले आफ्ना अधिकारीलाई हुकुम दिए, “मीकायालाई समात्, अनि त्यसलाई सहरका शासक र मेरो छोरा योआशकहाँ लैजा ।”
And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
27 त्यसलाई भन्, ‘राजा भन्नुहुन्छः यो मानिसलाई झ्यालखानामा हाल्, र म सुरक्षितसाथ नफर्केसम्म त्यसलाई थोरै रोटी र थोरै पानी मात्र खुवाउनू' ।”
And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’”
28 तब मीकायाले भने, “तपाईं सुरक्षितसाथ आउनुभयो भने परमप्रभुले मद्वारा बोल्नुभएको होइन ।” तब तिनले थपे, “हे सारा मानिस हो, यो कुरा सुन ।”
And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
29 त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजा आहाब र यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात रामोत-गिलादमा गए ।
And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.
30 इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “म भेष बद्लेर युद्धमा जाने छु, तर तपाईंले आफ्नो राजकीय पोशाक पहिरिनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजाले भेष बद्ले, र तिनी युद्धमा गए ।
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
31 अरामका राजाले आफ्ना रथहरूका बत्तिस जना सेनापतिलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दिएका थिए, “साना-ठुला जोसुकैलाई आक्रमण नगर्नू । बरु, इस्राएलका राजालाई मात्र आक्रमण गर्नू ।”
Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
32 जब रथहरूका सेनापतिहरूले यहोशापातलाई देखे तिनीहरूले भने, “निश्चय नै यिनी इस्राएलका राजा हुन् ।” तिनलाई आक्रमण गर्न तिनीहरू फर्कंदा यहोशापात चिच्च्याए ।
Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 तिनी इस्राएलका राजा होइनन् रहेछ भनी जब रथहरूका सेनापतिहरूले देखे तिनीहरू तिनको पिछा गर्नबाट फर्के ।
And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.
34 तर एक जना सेनापतिले जथाभावी काँड हाने, र त्यस काँडले इस्राएलका राजाको कवचको जोर्नीमा लाग्यो । तब आहाबले आफ्नो सारथीलाई भने, “फर्की, र मलाई युद्धबाट बाहिर लैजा, किनकि मलाई बेसरी चोट लागेको छ ।”
But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”
35 त्यस दिन युद्ध झन् चर्कंदै गयो, र आफ्ना रथमा अडिएर राजाले अरामीहरूको सामना गरिरहे । साँझमा तिनी मरे । तिनको घाउबाट निस्केको रगतचाहिँ रथभित्रै बगिरहेको थियो ।
Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
36 तब सूर्य अस्ताउँदै गर्दा सेनाका बिचमा एउटा यस्तो आवाज फैलियो, “हरेक मानिस आ-आफ्नो सहरमा फर्केर जाओस्, र हरेक मानिस आ-आफ्नो बस्तीमा फर्केर जाओस् ।”
And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
37 यसरी राजा आहाब मरे, र तिनलाई सामरियामा लगी त्यहीँ नै गाडियो ।
Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
38 तिनीहरूले रथलाई सामरियाको तलाउमा धोए, र परमप्रभुको वचनले घोषणा गरेझैँ कुकुरहरूले तिनको रगत चाटे (यहीँ नै वेश्याहरू नुहाउने गर्थे) ।
And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 के आहाबले गरेका अरू कार्यहरू, तिनले बनाएको हस्ती-हाडको महलसाथै सबै सहरहरूको विषयमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 यसरी आहाब आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुते, र तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा अहज्याह राजा भए ।
And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
41 इस्राएलका राजा आहाबको चौथो वर्षमा आसाका छोरा यहोशापातले यहूदामाथि शासन गर्न थाले ।
Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
42 यहोशापातले शासन गर्न थाल्दा तिनी पैँतिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा पच्चिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अजूबा थियो, जो शिल्हीकी छोरी थिइन् ।
He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 तिनी आफ्ना पिता आसाका मार्गमा हिँडे । तिनी तीबाट फर्केनन् । तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ, त्यही गरे । तथापि डाँडाका थानहरू भने हटाइएनन् । मानिसहरूले डाँडाका थानहरूमा अझै पनि बलिदान चढाउँदै थिए, र धूप बाल्दै थिए ।
And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
44 यहोशापात इस्राएलका राजासित शान्तिमा रहे ।
And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
45 के यहोशापातका अरू कार्यहरू, तिनले देखाएका शक्ति र कसरी तिनले युद्ध लडे भन्ने विषयमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
46 तिनका पिता आसाको समयसम्म बाँकी रहेका झुटो धर्मसम्बन्धी वेश्याहरूलाई तिनले देशबाट हटाए ।
Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
47 एदोममा कुनै राजा थिएन, तर त्यहाँ सहायकले शासन गर्थ्यो ।
At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
48 यहोशापातले समुद्रमा आवात-जावत गर्ने जहाजहरू बनाए । ती सुनको लागि ओपीरमा जानुपर्थ्यो, तर एस्योन-गेबेरमा ध्वंश भएको कारण ती जान सकेनन् ।
Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
49 तब आहाबका छोरा अहज्याहले यहोशापातलाई भने, “यी जहाजहरूमा मेरा अधिकारीहरूलाई तपाईंका अधिकारीहरूसँगै जान दिनुहोस् ।” तर यहोशापातले अनुमति दिएनन् ।
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
50 यहोशापात आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूसितै आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदको सहरमा गाडिए । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा यहोराम राजा भए ।
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
51 यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातको सत्रौँ वर्षमा आहाबका छोरा अहज्याहले सामरियामा बसेर इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न थाले, र तिनले इस्राएलमाथि दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.
52 तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ, त्यही गरे, र तिनका बुबाआमाको चालमा हिँडे अनि इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने नबातका छोरा यारोबामको मार्गमा हिँडे ।
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
53 तिनले आफ्ना पिताले गरेझैँ बालको सेवा गरे, त्यसको पुजा गरे अनि इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाए ।
Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
