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 six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to 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,
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:
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 ।”
'There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart 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 hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, 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 ।
And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
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 Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith 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 ।
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy 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 Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, He delivered them into thy 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 run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.'
10 त्यसपछि आसा ती दर्शीसँग रिसाए । उनले तिनलाई थुनामा राखे, किनकि यस विषयमा थिनीसित उनी रिसाएका थिए । यसै समयमा, आसाले केही मानिसहरूमाथि अत्याचार गरे ।
Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
11 हेर, आसाका सुरुदेखि अन्तसम्मका कामहरू यहूदा र इस्राएलका राजाहरूका पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are 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 ।
And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
13 तब आफ्नो राजकालको एकचालिसौँ वर्षमा मरेर, तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते ।
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
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 they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.
