< २ इतिहास 10 >
1 रहबाम शकेममा गए, किनकि सारा इस्राएल तिनलाई राजा तुल्याउन शकेममा आइरहेका थिए ।
Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
2 जब नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो कुरा सुने (किनकि तिनी मिश्रदेशमा थिए, जहाँ तिनी सोलोमन राजादेखि भागेर गएका थिए), तब तिनी मिश्रदेशबाट फर्के ।
When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon.
3 यसैले तिनीहरूले मानिस पठाए र तिनलाई बोलाए, र रहबाम र सबै इस्राएल आए । तिनीहरूले रहबामसित कुरा गरे र भने,
So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
4 “तपाईंका बुबाले हाम्रो जुवा गाह्रो बनाउनुभयो । यसकारण, अब तपाईंका बुबाको कठोर कामलाई सजिलो बनाउनुहोस्, र उहाँले हामीमाथि लाद्नुभएको गह्रौं जुवा हलुङ्गो गरिदिनुहोस्, र हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्नेछौं ।”
“Your father put a heavy yoke on us. But now you should lighten the burden of your father’s service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिन दिनपछि फेरि मकहाँ आओ ।” यसैले मानिसहरू गए ।
Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people departed.
6 राजा रहबामले आफ्नो बुबा सोलोमन जीवित छँदा तिनका सेवा गर्ने पाका मानिसहरूसँग सल्लाह मागे । तिनले भने, “यी मानिसलाई जवाफ दिन तपाईंहरू कस्तो सल्लाह दिनुहुन्छ?”
Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked.
7 उनीहरूले तिनलाई यसो भने, “यी मानिसप्रति तपाईं असल हुनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई खुसी पार्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई असल वचन दिनुभयो भने, तिनीहरूले सधैं तपाईंका सेवकहरू हुनेछन् ।”
They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
8 तर ती पाका मानिसले आफूलाई दिएको सल्लाहलाई रहबामले बेवास्ता गरे, र आफूसित हुर्केका र आफ्नो सामु खडा भएका जवान मानिसहरूका सल्लाह तिनले मागे ।
But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
9 तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू मलाई कस्तो सल्लाह दिन्छौ, ताकि मसित यसो भनेर कुरा गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौं, ‘तपाईंका बुबाले हामीमाथि लाद्नुभएको गह्रौं जुवा हलुङ्गो गरिदिनुहोस्’?”
He asked them, “What message do you advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
10 रहबामसित हुर्केका ती जवान मानिसहरूले यसो भनेर तिनीसित कुरा गरे, “तपाईंको बुबा सोलोमोनले तिनीहरूका जुवा गह्रौं बनाउनुभयो, तर तपाईंले त्यो हलुङ्गो बनाउनुपर्छ भन्ने यी मानिसलाई तपाईंले यसो भन्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंले यसो भन्नुपर्छ, ‘मेरो कान्छी औंला मेरा बुबाको कम्मरभन्दा मोटो छ ।
The young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!
11 यसैले अब, मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूमाथि गह्रौं जुवा बोकाउनुभए तापनि, तिमीहरूका जुवामाथि म थप्नेछु । मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्राले दण्ड दिनुहुन्थ्यो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले दण्ड दिनेछु’ ।”
Whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
12 यसैले, “तिन दिनपछि फेरि मकहाँ आओ,” भन्ने राजाको हुकुमबमोजिम यारोबाम र ती सबै मानिस तेस्रो दिन रहबामकहाँ आए ।
After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
13 अनि ती पाका मानिसका सल्लाहलाई बेवास्ता गरेर रहबामले तिनीहरूसँग कठोर किसिमले बोले ।
And the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
14 ती जवान मानिसका सल्लाहको अनुसरण गरेर उनीहरूसँग तिनले यसो भनेर, “मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूको जुवा गह्रौं बनाउनुभयो, तर म त्यसमा थप्नेछु। मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्राले दण्ड दिनुहुन्थ्यो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले दण्ड दिनेछु ।”
and spoke to them as the young men had advised, saying, “Whereas my father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.”
15 यसरी राजाले ती मानिसका कुरा सुनेनन्, किनकि शीलोका अहियाहद्वारा नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको वचन पूरा हुनलाई परमेश्वरले नै यस्ता घटनाहरू हुन दिनुभयो ।
So the king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from God, in order that the LORD might fulfill the word that He had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16 जब राजाले आफ्ना कुरा नसुनेका सारा इस्राएलले देखे, तब तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए र भने, “दाऊदमा हाम्रो के हिस्सा छ र? यिशैका छोरामा हाम्रो केही उत्तराधिकार छैन! ए इस्राएल, तिमीहरू हरेका आआफ्नै पालमा जानुपर्छ । अब ए दाऊद, तिम्रो आफ्नै घरको रेखदेख गर ।” यसैले सबै इस्राएल आआफ्ना पालहरूमा फर्के ।
When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home,
17 तर यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्ने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सम्बन्धमा तिनीहरूमाथि रहबामले राज्य गरे ।
but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
18 तब राजा रहबामले ज्यालाबिना काममा लगाइएका मानिसहरूका निरीक्षक अदोनीरामलाई पठाए, तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे । राजा रहबामचाहिं आफ्नो रथमा चढेर तुरुन्तै यरूशलेमतर्फ भागे ।
Then King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
19 अनि आजको दिनसम्म पनि दाऊदका घरानाप्रति इस्राएलचाहिं विद्रोही भएको छ ।
So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
