२ इतिहास 16
1 आसाका राजकालको छत्तीसौँ वर्षमा इस्राएलका राजा बाशा यहूदाको विरूद्ध आक्रामक रूपले प्रस्तुत भए र रामालाई बजमूत गराए, ताकि कोही पनि यहूदाका राजा आसाको देशभित्र जान र बाहिर आउन नसकून् ।
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
2 त्यसपछि आसाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजाको महलका भण्डारका सुन र चाँदीहरू निकालेर ती दमस्कसमा बस्ने अरामका राजा बेन-हददकहाँ पठाए । तिनले भने,
So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
3 “मेरा पिता र तपाईंका पिताको बिचमा भएजस्तै मेरो र तपाईंका बिचमा पनि एउटा करार होस् । हेर्नुहोस्, मैले तपाईंलाई चाँदी र सुन पठाएको छु । इस्राएलका राजा बाशासँग तपाईंको सन्धि तोडिदिनुहोस्, ताकि तिनले मलाई हस्तक्षेप नगरुन् ।”
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
4 बेन-हददले आसा राजाको कुरा स्वीकार गरेर आफ्ना फौजका कमाण्डरलाई इस्राएलका सहरहरूका विरुद्धमा लड्न पठाए । तिनीहरूले इयोन, दान, हाबिल-मैम र नप्तालीका सबै भण्डार राख्ने सहरमाथि आक्रमण गरे ।
And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
5 जब बाशाले यो कुरा सुने तब यस्तो भयो, तिनले रामालाई मजबूत बनाउन छोडिदिए, र आफ्ना काम बन्द गरिदिए ।
When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
6 त्यसपछि आसा राजाले यहूदाका सबैलाई आफूसित लगे । तिनीहरूले बाशाले बनाउँदै गरेको रामाका ढुङ्गा र काठहरू उठाएर लगे । त्यसपछि आसा राजाले गेबा र मिस्पालाई मजबूत पार्न ती सामाग्री प्रयोग गरे ।
Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
7 त्यस बेला दर्शी हनानी यहूदाका राजा आसाकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंले अरामका राजामाथि भरोसा गर्नुभएको हुनाले र परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरमाथि भरोसा नगर्नुभएको हुनाले गर्दा अरामका राजाको फौज तपाईंको हातबाट उम्केको छ ।
At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
8 के कूशीहरू र लिबियालीहरू असंख्य रथ र घोड़चढ़ीहरू भएको विशाल फौज थिएनन्? तापनि तपाईंले परमप्रभुमाथि भरोसा राख्नुभएको हुनाले, उहाँले तपाईंलाई उनीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो ।
Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
9 किनकि परमप्रभुको दृष्टि सारा पृथ्वीभरि जहाँसुकै दौडिरहन्छ, ताकि जसका हृदय उहाँप्रति समर्पित छन्, तिनीहरूका पक्षमा उहाँले आफैलाई बलियो देखाउन सक्नुभएको होस् । तर यस विषयमा तपाईंले मूर्खतासाथ काम गर्नुभयो । अबदेखि तपाईंले युद्ध गर्नुपर्नेछ ।”
For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
10 त्यसपछि आसा ती दर्शीसँग रिसाए । उनले तिनलाई थुनामा राखे, किनकि यस विषयमा थिनीसित उनी रिसाएका थिए । यसै समयमा, आसाले केही मानिसहरूमाथि अत्याचार गरे ।
Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
11 हेर, आसाका सुरुदेखि अन्तसम्मका कामहरू यहूदा र इस्राएलका राजाहरूका पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12 आफ्नो राजकालको उनन्चालिसौँ वर्षमा आसालाई खुट्टामा रोग लाग्यो । तिनको त्यो रोग साह्रै गम्भीर भए तापनि तिनले परमप्रभुबाट सहायता खोजेनन्, तर वैद्यहरूको मात्र सल्लाह लिए ।
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
13 तब आफ्नो राजकालको एकचालिसौँ वर्षमा मरेर, तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते ।
So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
14 तिनको आफ्नै चिहानमा तिनलाई तिनीहरूले गाडे, जुन तिनले दाऊदको सहरमा आफ्नो निम्ति खन्न लगाएका थिए । उनलाई सुगन्धित वासनाहरू र अत्तरहरू बनाउने निपुण मानिसहरूद्वारा तयार गारिएको विभिन्न किसिमका मसलाहरू मिलाइएको अर्थीमा राखियो । अनि तिनीहरूले उनको सम्झनामा एउटा ठूलो आगो बाले ।
And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
