< 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 when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen [men], which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 तर परमप्रभुको वचन परमेश्‍वरका मानिस शमायाहकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 “सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम, अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामिनका सबै इस्राएललाई यसो भन्,
Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
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, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 रहबाम यरूशलेममा बसोबास गरे र सुरक्षाको निम्ति यहूदामा सहरहरू निर्माण गरे ।
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
6 तिनले बेथहेलेम, एताम, तको,
He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 बेथ सर, सोखो, अदुल्‍लाम,
And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 गात, मारेशा, जीप,
And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 अदोरेम, लाकीश, आजेका,
And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 सोरा, अय्‍यालोन र हेब्रोन निर्माण गरे । यहूदा र बेन्‍यामीनका किल्‍लाबन्‍दी गरिएका सहरहरू यि नै थिए ।
And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which [are] in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11 तिनले ती गढीहरू किल्‍लाबन्‍दी गरे र तिनमा कमाण्‍डरहरू नियुक्त गरे । त्यहाँ तिनले खानेकुरा, तेल र दाखमद्य पनि तिनमा सञ्‍चय गरिदिए ।
And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12 तिनले सबै सहरमा ढाल र भालाहरू राखे, र तिनीहरूलाई धेरै बलियो बनाए । यसरी यहूदा र बेन्‍यामीन तिनका भए ।
And in every several city [he put] shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 जम्‍मै इस्राएलमा भएका चारैतिरबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू आआफ्‍ना सिमानाहरूबाट तिनीकहाँ गए ।
And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
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 ।
For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office unto the LORD:
15 डाँडाका अल्‍गा थानहरू र आफूले बनाएका बाख्रा र बाछाका मूर्तिहरू पूजा गर्न यारोबामले आफ्‍नै पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
And he ordained him 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 ।
And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD 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 ।
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
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 Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, [and] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 उनीले तिनको निम्ति छोराहरू जन्माइन्: येऊश, शमरयाह र साहम ।
Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 महलतपछि तिनले अब्‍शालोमकी छोरी माकालाई विवाह गरे । उनले तिनको निम्ति अबिया, अत्तै, जीजा र शलोमीत जन्माइन् ।
And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
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 Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22 रहबामले माकाका छोरा अबियालाई दाजुभाइका प्रमुख अगुवा नियुक्त गरे । तिनले उनलाई राजा बनाउने बिचार गरेका थिए ।
And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, [to be] ruler among his brethren: for [he thought] 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 ।
And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
