< २ इतिहास 10 >
1 रहबाम शकेममा गए, किनकि सारा इस्राएल तिनलाई राजा तुल्याउन शकेममा आइरहेका थिए ।
Now Rehoboam set out for Shechem. For in that place all of Israel had convened, so that they might appoint him as king.
2 जब नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो कुरा सुने (किनकि तिनी मिश्रदेशमा थिए, जहाँ तिनी सोलोमन राजादेखि भागेर गएका थिए), तब तिनी मिश्रदेशबाट फर्के ।
But when Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (indeed he had fled to that place from Solomon) had heard it, he promptly returned.
3 यसैले तिनीहरूले मानिस पठाए र तिनलाई बोलाए, र रहबाम र सबै इस्राएल आए । तिनीहरूले रहबामसित कुरा गरे र भने,
And they summoned him, and he arrived with all of Israel. And they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
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 pressed upon us a very difficult yoke. You should govern us more lightly than your father, who imposed on us a heavy servitude, and so lift up some of the burden, so that we may serve you.”
5 रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिन दिनपछि फेरि मकहाँ आओ ।” यसैले मानिसहरू गए ।
But he said, “Return to me after three days.” And when the people had gone away,
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?”
he took counsel with the elders, who had stood before his father Solomon while he was still living, saying, “What counsel would you give to me, so that I may respond to the people?”
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 ।”
And they said to him, “If you please this people, and if you soothe them with words of clemency, they will be your servants for all days.”
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 he set aside the counsel of the elders, and he began to have discussion with the youth, who had been raised with him and who were among his companions.
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’?”
And he said to them: “How does it seem to you? Or how should I respond to this people, who have said to me, ‘Lift up the yoke that your father imposed upon 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 ।
But they responded like youths, having been raised with him in luxury, and they said: “So shall you speak to the people, who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy; you should lighten it,’ and so shall you respond to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
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’ ।”
My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, and I will place more weight upon it. My father cut you with whips; truly, I will beat you with scorpions.’”
12 यसैले, “तिन दिनपछि फेरि मकहाँ आओ,” भन्ने राजाको हुकुमबमोजिम यारोबाम र ती सबै मानिस तेस्रो दिन रहबामकहाँ आए ।
Then Jeroboam, and the entire people, went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as he had instructed them.
13 अनि ती पाका मानिसका सल्लाहलाई बेवास्ता गरेर रहबामले तिनीहरूसँग कठोर किसिमले बोले ।
And the king responded harshly, abandoning the counsel 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 he spoke according to the will of the youths: “My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, which I will make heavier. My father cut you with whips; truly, I will beat 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 ।
And he did not acquiesce to the pleadings of the people. For it was the will of God that his word be fulfilled, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
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 ।
Then the entire people, speaking more harshly to the king, spoke to him in this way: “There is no portion for us in David, and there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Return to your dwellings, O Israel. Then you, O David, shall pasture your own house.” And Israel went away to their dwellings.
17 तर यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्ने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सम्बन्धमा तिनीहरूमाथि रहबामले राज्य गरे ।
But Rehoboam reigned over the sons of Israel who were 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 ।
And king Rehoboam sent Aduram, who was in charge of the tributes. And the sons of Israel stoned him, and he died. And so king Rehoboam hurried to climb into the chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem.
19 अनि आजको दिनसम्म पनि दाऊदका घरानाप्रति इस्राएलचाहिं विद्रोही भएको छ ।
And Israel withdrew from the house of David, even to this day.
