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 Rehobo'am was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom again to Rehobo'am.
2 तर परमप्रभुको वचन परमेश्वरका मानिस शमायाहकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
But the word of the Lord came unto Shema'yahu the man of God, saying,
3 “सोलोमनका छोरा यहूदाका राजा रहबाम, अनि यहूदा र बेन्यामिनका सबै इस्राएललाई यसो भन्,
Say unto Rehobo'am the son of Solomon, the king of 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 hath said the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight with your brethren: return every man to his house; for from me hath this thing been brought about. And they hearkened to the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jerobo'am.
5 रहबाम यरूशलेममा बसोबास गरे र सुरक्षाको निम्ति यहूदामा सहरहरू निर्माण गरे ।
And Rehobo'am dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities as fortresses in Judah.
6 तिनले बेथहेलेम, एताम, तको,
He built, namely, Beth-lechem, and 'Etam, and Thekoa'.
7 बेथ सर, सोखो, अदुल्लाम,
And Beth-zur, and Socho, and 'Adullam,
8 गात, मारेशा, जीप,
And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 अदोरेम, लाकीश, आजेका,
And Adorayim and Lachish, and 'Azekah,
10 सोरा, अय्यालोन र हेब्रोन निर्माण गरे । यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू यि नै थिए ।
And Zor'ah, and Ayalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
11 तिनले ती गढीहरू किल्लाबन्दी गरे र तिनमा कमाण्डरहरू नियुक्त गरे । त्यहाँ तिनले खानेकुरा, तेल र दाखमद्य पनि तिनमा सञ्चय गरिदिए ।
And he strengthened the strong-holds, and put commanders in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine;
12 तिनले सबै सहरमा ढाल र भालाहरू राखे, र तिनीहरूलाई धेरै बलियो बनाए । यसरी यहूदा र बेन्यामीन तिनका भए ।
And in each and every city [he placed] shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong: and thus remained with him Judah and Benjamin.
13 जम्मै इस्राएलमा भएका चारैतिरबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू आआफ्ना सिमानाहरूबाट तिनीकहाँ गए ।
And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their territory.
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 open districts and their possession, and went to Judah and Jerusalem; because Jerobo'am and his sons 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 [because] he ordained for himself priests for the high-places, and for the evil spirits, 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 [came] out of all the tribes of Israel such as directed their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel: these came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto 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 Judah, and brought power to Rehobo'am, the son of Solomon, during three years; for they walked in the way of David and Solomon during 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 Rehobo'am took himself as wife Machalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, [and] Abichayil the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 उनीले तिनको निम्ति छोराहरू जन्माइन्: येऊश, शमरयाह र साहम ।
And she bore to him sons: Je'ush, and Shamaryah, and Zaham.
20 महलतपछि तिनले अब्शालोमकी छोरी माकालाई विवाह गरे । उनले तिनको निम्ति अबिया, अत्तै, जीजा र शलोमीत जन्माइन् ।
And after her did he take Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom; and she bore to him Abiyah, 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 Rehobo'am loved Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.
22 रहबामले माकाका छोरा अबियालाई दाजुभाइका प्रमुख अगुवा नियुक्त गरे । तिनले उनलाई राजा बनाउने बिचार गरेका थिए ।
And Rehobo'am appointed Abiyah the son of Ma'achah to be the chief, to be ruler among his brethren; because [he desired] 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 understandingly, and dispersed all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance and he required [for them] a multitude of wives.
