२ इतिहास 12
1 यस्तो भयो, जब रहबामको राज्य स्थापित भयो र तिनी शक्तिशाली भए, तब तिनले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्था त्यागे— र तिनीसँगै जम्मै इस्राएलले पनि त्यागे ।
And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 रहबाम राजाको शासनकालको पाँचौं वर्षमा मिश्रदेशका राजा शीशक यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध आए, किनभने मानिसहरू परमप्रभुप्रति अविश्वासी भएका थिए।
And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)
3 तिनी बाह्र सय रथ र साठी हजार घोडचढी लिएर आए । तिनीसँग मिश्रदेशबाट आएका असंख्य फौज हरूः लिबियाली, सुक्किया र कूशीहरू आए ।
With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.
4 तिनले यहूदाका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू जिते र यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
5 शीशकको कारणले यरूशलेममा भेला भएका रहबाम र यहूदाका अगुवाहरू भएको ठाउँमा शमयाह अगमवक्ता आए । शमायाहले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ: ‘तिमीहरूले मलाई त्यागेका छौ, यसैले मैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई शीशकको हातमा सुम्पिदिएको छु’ ।”
And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.
6 तब इस्राएलका शासकहरू र राजाले आफूलाई विनम्र बनाए र भने, “परमप्रभु धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.
7 जब तिनीहरूले आफूलाई विनम्र तुल्याएका छन् भनी जब परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो, तब परमप्रभुको वचन शमायाहकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो, “तिनीहरूले आफूलाई विनम्र तुल्याएका छन् । म तिनीहरूलाई विनाश गर्नेछैनँ । म तिनीहरूलाई केही हदसम्म उद्धार गर्नेछु, र शीशकको हातद्वारा यरूशलेममा म आफ्नो क्रोध खन्याउनेछैनँ ।
And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.
8 तापनि तिनीहरू त्यसका सेवकहरू हुनेछन् ताकि मेरो सेवा गर्नु र अरू देशका शासकहरूका सेवा गर्नमा के भिन्नता रहेछ सो तिनीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछन् ।”
But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
9 यसैले मिश्रदेशका राजा शीशक यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध आए र परमप्रभुको मन्दिर कोषहरू र राजाको महलका भण्डारका धन-सम्पत्ति लुटेर लगे । तिनले हरेक कुरा लगे । सोलोमनले बनाएका सुनका ढालहरू पनि तिनले लगे ।
So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,
10 रहबाम राजाले तिनको सट्टामा काँसाका ढालहरू बनाए र राजाका महलको ढोकाहरूका रक्षा गर्ने रक्षकहरूका कमाण्डरहरूका जिम्मामा दिए ।
Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.
11 जब राजा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र पस्थे, तब रक्षकहरू ती बोक्थे । अनि तिनीहरूले रक्षक बस्ने कोठामा फेरि ती फर्काउँथे ।
And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.
12 जब रहबामले आफूलाई विनम्र तुल्याए, तब तिनलाइ पुरै नष्ट नगर्नलाई परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीबाट हट्यो । यसका अतिरिक्त, यहूदामा केही असल कुरा अझै बाँकी थियो ।
But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.
13 यसरी रहबाम राजाले यरूशलेममा आफ्नो राजकाज बलियो बनाए, र यसरी तिनले राज्य गरे । रहबामले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी एकचालीस वर्षका थिए, र परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सारा कुलबाट आफ्नो नाउँ राख्नका निम्ति चुन्नुभएको सहर यरूशलेममा तिनले सत्र वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अम्मोनी स्त्री नामा थियो ।
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.
14 तिनले जे खराब थियो त्यही गरे, किनभने तिनले आफ्नो हृदय परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न लगाएनन् ।
But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
15 रहबामको राजकालका घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्म शमायाह अगमवक्ता र दर्शी इद्दोका इतिहासका पुस्तकहरूमा समेत लेखिएका छैनन् र, जसमा वंशक्रमहरू र रहबाम र यारोबामका बीचमा निरन्तर भएको युद्धका अभिलेख पनि राखिएको छन्?
Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.
16 रहबाम आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र दाऊदको सहरमा गाडिए । तिनका छोरा अबिया तिनका ठाउँमा राजा भए ।
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
