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 ।
It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that 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।
It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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 sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 तिनले यहूदाका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू जिते र यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, 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 Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
6 तब इस्राएलका शासकहरू र राजाले आफूलाई विनम्र बनाए र भने, “परमप्रभु धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ ।”
Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "The LORD is righteous."
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 ।
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 तापनि तिनीहरू त्यसका सेवकहरू हुनेछन् ताकि मेरो सेवा गर्नु र अरू देशका शासकहरूका सेवा गर्नमा के भिन्नता रहेछ सो तिनीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछन् ।”
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
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 Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 रहबाम राजाले तिनको सट्टामा काँसाका ढालहरू बनाए र राजाका महलको ढोकाहरूका रक्षा गर्ने रक्षकहरूका कमाण्डरहरूका जिम्मामा दिए ।
King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
11 जब राजा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र पस्थे, तब रक्षकहरू ती बोक्थे । अनि तिनीहरूले रक्षक बस्ने कोठामा फेरि ती फर्काउँथे ।
It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
12 जब रहबामले आफूलाई विनम्र तुल्याए, तब तिनलाइ पुरै नष्ट नगर्नलाई परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीबाट हट्यो । यसका अतिरिक्त, यहूदामा केही असल कुरा अझै बाँकी थियो ।
When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
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 ।
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 तिनले जे खराब थियो त्यही गरे, किनभने तिनले आफ्नो हृदय परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न लगाएनन् ।
He did that which was evil, because he did not set 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 Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 रहबाम आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र दाऊदको सहरमा गाडिए । तिनका छोरा अबिया तिनका ठाउँमा राजा भए ।
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
