< २ इतिहास 13 >
1 राजा यरोबामको अठारौँ वर्षमा, अबियाले यहूदामा राज्य गर्न सुरु गरे ।
In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 तिनले यरूशलेममा तीन वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमा गिबाका उरीएलकी छोरी माका थिइन् । अबिया र यारोबामका बीचमा युद्ध भयो ।
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
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 joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.
4 अबिया एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा भएको समारैम डाँडामा खडा भए र यसो भने, “हे यारोबाम र सारा इस्राएल हो, मेरो कुरा सुन!
Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
5 परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले औपचारिक करारद्वारा सधैँको निम्ति दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानलाई इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न दिनुभएको कुरा के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?
Ought you not to know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his descendants by a covenant of salt?
6 तापनि दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनका सेवक नबातका छोरा यारोबाम उठ्यो र आफ्ना मालिकको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
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 ।
There were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand 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 you think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the descendants of David; and you are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for 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 ।
Haven't you driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves after the ways of the peoples of other lands? so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, the same may be a priest of those who are no 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 as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and we have priests ministering to Jehovah, the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:
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 ।
and they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the instruction of Jehovah our God; but you have forsaken 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 ।”
Look, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, do not fight against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for you shall not prosper."
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 caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and 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 ।
When Judah looked back, look, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the 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 ।
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू यहूदाका सामुन्नेबाट भागे, र परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई यहूदाको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो ।
The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
17 अबिया र तिनका फौजले ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा तिनीहरूको हत्या गरे । इस्राएलका पाँच लाख चुनिएका मानिसहरू मरेर ढले ।
Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 यसरी इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई त्यस बेला पराजित गरियो । यहूदाका मानिसहरूले जिते, किनभने तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरमाथि भरोसा गरे ।
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the people of Judah prevailed, because they relied on Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
19 अबियाले यारोबामलाई खेदे । तिनले उनीबाट बेथेल र त्यसका बस्ती, येशना र त्यसका बस्ती, अनि एप्रोन र त्यसका बस्तीसमेत कब्जा गरे ।
Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns.
20 अबियाको शासनको समयमा यारोबामले फेरि आफ्नो शक्ति कदापि प्राप्त गर्न सकेनन् । परमप्रभुले उनलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो, र उनी मरे ।
Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Jehovah struck him, 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 mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 अबिया बाँकी कामहरू र तिनका व्यवहार र वचनहरू इद्दो अगमवक्ताको इतिहासमा लेखिएका छन् ।
The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
