< २ इतिहास 11 >
1 जब रहबाम यरूशलेममा आइपुगे, तब तिनले रहबामको राज्य पुनःर्स्थापित गराउनलाई इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नलाई यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका घरानाका एक लाख असी हजार योद्धाहरू भेला गरे ।
And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him.
2 तर परमप्रभुको वचन परमेश्वरका मानिस शमायाहकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
3 “सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम, अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामिनका सबै इस्राएललाई यसो भन्,
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin:
4 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “आफ्नै दाजुभाइका विरुद्धमा तिमीहरूले आक्रमण गर्नु वा युद्ध गर्नुहुँदैन । हरेक व्यक्ति आआफ्नै घरमा फर्केर जानुपर्छ, किनकि मैले नै यसो हुन दिएको हो” ।’” यसैले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुका वचन पालन गरे, र यारोबामको विरुद्धमा आक्रमण गर्नबाट पछि हटे ।
Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam,
5 रहबाम यरूशलेममा बसोबास गरे र सुरक्षाको निम्ति यहूदामा सहरहरू निर्माण गरे ।
And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda.
6 तिनले बेथहेलेम, एताम, तको,
And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue,
7 बेथ सर, सोखो, अदुल्लाम,
And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam,
And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph,
And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha,
10 सोरा, अय्यालोन र हेब्रोन निर्माण गरे । यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू यि नै थिए ।
Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities.
11 तिनले ती गढीहरू किल्लाबन्दी गरे र तिनमा कमाण्डरहरू नियुक्त गरे । त्यहाँ तिनले खानेकुरा, तेल र दाखमद्य पनि तिनमा सञ्चय गरिदिए ।
And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine.
12 तिनले सबै सहरमा ढाल र भालाहरू राखे, र तिनीहरूलाई धेरै बलियो बनाए । यसरी यहूदा र बेन्यामीन तिनका भए ।
Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin,
13 जम्मै इस्राएलमा भएका चारैतिरबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू आआफ्ना सिमानाहरूबाट तिनीकहाँ गए ।
And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats,
14 किनकि लेवीहरूले यहूदा र यरूशलेममा आउनको निम्ति आफ्ना खर्कहरू र जग्गाजमिन छोडे, किनकि किनकि यारोबाम र तिनका छोराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई लखेटेका थिए, ताकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको पुजारीको काम गर्न पाएनन् ।
Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office to the Lord.
15 डाँडाका अल्गा थानहरू र आफूले बनाएका बाख्रा र बाछाका मूर्तिहरू पूजा गर्न यारोबामले आफ्नै पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई खोज्न आफ्नो हृदयहरू दिएका इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट मानिसहरू तिनीहरूको पछि आए । तिनीहरू परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरलाई बलिदान चढाउन यरूशलेममा आए ।
Moreover out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever gave their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel, came into Jerusalem to sacrifice their victims before the Lord the God of their fathers.
17 यसैले तिनीहरूले यहूदाको राज्य बलियो बनाए र तीन वर्षसम्म सोलोमनका छोरो रहबामलाई समर्थन गरे, र त्यस बेला तिनीहरू दाऊद र सोलोमनका चालअनुसार तीन वर्षसम्म हिंडे ।
And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years.
18 रहबामले आफ्नो निम्ति एउटी पत्नी ल्याएः तिनी महलत थिइन् । तिनका बुबा दाऊदका छोरा यरीमोत थिए र आमाचाहिं यिशैका छोरा एलीआबकी छोरी अबीहेल थिइन् ।
And Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai.
19 उनीले तिनको निम्ति छोराहरू जन्माइन्: येऊश, शमरयाह र साहम ।
And they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom.
20 महलतपछि तिनले अब्शालोमकी छोरी माकालाई विवाह गरे । उनले तिनको निम्ति अबिया, अत्तै, जीजा र शलोमीत जन्माइन् ।
And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith.
21 रहबामले आफ्ना सबै पत्नीहरू र उपपत्नीहरूलाई भन्दा धेरै माया माकालाई गरे (तिनले अठाह्र जना पत्नीहरू र साठी जना उपपत्नीहरू ल्याए, र तिनका अट्ठाईस जना छोरा र साठी जना छोरी थिए) ।
And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives, and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he beget eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters.
22 रहबामले माकाका छोरा अबियालाई दाजुभाइका प्रमुख अगुवा नियुक्त गरे । तिनले उनलाई राजा बनाउने बिचार गरेका थिए ।
But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king,
23 रहबामले बुद्धिमानीपूर्वक राज्य गरे । तिनले आफ्ना सबै छोराहरूलाई यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका जम्मै सहरमा पठाए । तिनले उनीहरूका निम्ति प्रशस्त खानेकुरा दिए र तिनीहरूका निम्ति धेरै जना पत्नीहरू खोजिदिए ।
Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives.
