२ इतिहास 13
1 राजा यरोबामको अठारौँ वर्षमा, अबियाले यहूदामा राज्य गर्न सुरु गरे ।
Abijah became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam.
2 तिनले यरूशलेममा तीन वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमा गिबाका उरीएलकी छोरी माका थिइन् । अबिया र यारोबामका बीचमा युद्ध भयो ।
He reigned in Jerusalem for three years. His mother's name was Micaiah, daughter of Uriel—she was from Gibeah. Abijah and Jeroboam were at war.
3 अबिया चार लाख छानिएका बलिया र वीर योद्धाहरू लिएर युद्ध गर्न गए । यारोबामले छानिएका बलिया र वीर आठ लाख योद्धाहरू लडाँइको निम्ति तैनाथ गरे ।
Abijah went out to fight with an army of 400,000 brave warriors, while Jeroboam opposed him with his army of 800,000 chosen warriors of great strength.
4 अबिया एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा भएको समारैम डाँडामा खडा भए र यसो भने, “हे यारोबाम र सारा इस्राएल हो, मेरो कुरा सुन!
Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Listen to me, Jeroboam and all of Israel!
5 परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले औपचारिक करारद्वारा सधैँको निम्ति दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानलाई इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न दिनुभएको कुरा के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?
Don't you understand that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a binding agreement?
6 तापनि दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनका सेवक नबातका छोरा यारोबाम उठ्यो र आफ्ना मालिकको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
Yet Jeroboam, son of Nebat, just a servant of Solomon, son of David, had the audacity to rebel against his master.
7 केही बेकम्मा बदमाशहरू त्यसको साथमा भेला भए । तिनीहरू सोलोमनका छोरा रहबामको विरुद्धमा आए, जति बेला रहबाम कलिलै र अनुभव नभएको र तिनीहरूको सामना गर्न नसक्ने अवस्थामा थिए ।
Then some good-for-nothing evil men gathered round him and defied Rehoboam, son of Solomon, when he was young and inexperienced, and couldn't confront them.
8 यसैले तिमीहरूसँग एउटा ठूलो फौज भएको हुनाले र तिमीहरूसँग देवताहरू हुनलाई यारोबामले बनाएका यी सुनका बाछाहरू तिमीहरूसँग भएको हुनाले, अब तिमीहरू दाऊदका सन्तानहरूका हातमा भएको परमप्रभुका राज्यको विरुद्धमा खडा हुने योजना गर्दछौ ।
Now do you really think you can oppose the kingdom of the Lord, held by David's descendants? You may be a large horde, and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.
9 तर के तिमीहरूले हारूनको वंशका परमप्रभुका पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई लखेट्ने र अरू देशका मानिसहरूले गरेझैं आफ्नै पुजारीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरेनौ र? जुनसुकै मानिस पुजारी भएर सेवा गर्नलाई एउटा बाछो र सात वटा भेडा लिएर आउँछ, त्यो जो देवताहरू नै होइनन्, त्यसको पुजारी बन्छ ।
But didn't you drive out the priests of the Lord, Aaron's descendants, and the Levites, and make priests for yourselves just like people in other nations do? Now anyone who wants to can come and dedicate himself, sacrificing a young bull and seven rams, and he can become a priest of things that really are not gods.
10 तर हाम्रा बारेमा त, परमप्रभु नै हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ, र हामीले उहाँलाई त्यागेका छैनौं । हामीसँग परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्ने हारूनका सन्तानहरू पुजारीको रूपमा छन्, र आफ्नो काम गर्ने लेवीहरू छन् ।
But for us, the Lord is our God! We have not abandoned him. We have priests serving the Lord who are descendants of Aaron, and we have Levites who help them in their ministry.
11 तिनीहरू हरेक बिहान र बेलुकी परमप्रभुको निम्ति होमबलि र सुगन्धित धूप चढ़ाउँछन् । पवित्र टेबलमा उपस्थितिको रोटीलाई मिलाएर राख्ने काम पनि तिनीहरू गर्छन् । तिनीहरू बेलुकैपिच्छे सुनको सामदानमा भएका बत्तीहरू बाल्दछन् । हामी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरका आज्ञा पालना गर्छौं, तर तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई त्यागेका छौ ।
Morning and evening they present burnt offerings and burn fragrant incense to the Lord. They place the rows of showbread on the purified table, and light the lamps of the gold lampstand every evening. We are doing what the Lord our God told us to do, while you have abandoned him.
12 हेर, परमेश्वर हाम्रा शिरमा हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँका पुजारीहरू तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा खतराको संकेत दिनलाई तुरही लिएर यहाँ छन् । हे इस्राएलका मानिसहरू हो, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध नगर, किनकि तिमीहरू सफल हुनेछैनौ ।”
God is leading us! His priests blow their trumpets to go into battle against you. People of Israel, don't fight against the Lord, the God of your fathers, for you won't win!”
13 तर यारोबामले आफ्नो फौजको एक दल पछिल्तिर गएर ढुकिबस्नलाई पठाएका थिए, र तिनको फौज चाहिं यहूदा, र तिनीहरूको पछाडि ढुकेर बसेका फौज थिए ।
But Jeroboam had sent troops around to attack from the rear, so that while he and the main force was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
14 जब यहूदाका मानिसहरूले पछाडि हेरे, तब हेर, लडाइँ आफ्नो अगाडि र पछाडि दुवैतिर भएको देखे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गरे, र पुजारीहरूले आफ्ना तुरहीहरू फुके ।
Judah turned around and realized that they were having to fight front and rear. They cried out to the Lord for help. Then the priests blew their trumpets,
15 त्यसपछि यहूदाका मानिसहरूले ठुलो सोरले कराए । जब तिनीहरूले ठुलो सोरले कराए, तब परमेश्वरले यारोबाम र सबै इस्राएललाई अबिया र यहूदाको सामुन्ने प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।
and the men of Judah gave a loud shout. When they shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel in front of Abijah and Judah.
16 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू यहूदाका सामुन्नेबाट भागे, र परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई यहूदाको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो ।
The Israelites ran away from Judah, and God handed them over to Judah, defeated.
17 अबिया र तिनका फौजले ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा तिनीहरूको हत्या गरे । इस्राएलका पाँच लाख चुनिएका मानिसहरू मरेर ढले ।
Abijah and his men hit them hard, and 500,000 of Israel's best warriors were killed.
18 यसरी इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई त्यस बेला पराजित गरियो । यहूदाका मानिसहरूले जिते, किनभने तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरमाथि भरोसा गरे ।
So the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the people of Judah were victorious because they relied on the Lord, the God of their forefathers.
19 अबियाले यारोबामलाई खेदे । तिनले उनीबाट बेथेल र त्यसका बस्ती, येशना र त्यसका बस्ती, अनि एप्रोन र त्यसका बस्तीसमेत कब्जा गरे ।
Abijah chased Jeroboam and captured some towns from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.
20 अबियाको शासनको समयमा यारोबामले फेरि आफ्नो शक्ति कदापि प्राप्त गर्न सकेनन् । परमप्रभुले उनलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो, र उनी मरे ।
Jereboam never regained his power during Abijah's reign. Eventually the Lord struck him down and he died.
21 तर अबियाले शक्तिशाली भए । तिनले आफ्नो निम्ति चौध जना पत्नी ल्याए, र बाइस जना छोरा र सोह्र जना छोरीका पिता भए ।
But Abijah grew stronger and stronger. He married fourteen wives and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 अबिया बाँकी कामहरू र तिनका व्यवहार र वचनहरू इद्दो अगमवक्ताको इतिहासमा लेखिएका छन् ।
The rest of what Abijah did—what he said and what he accomplished—is recorded in the history written by Iddo the Prophet.
