< 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 Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none 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 Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelled 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 you, as there was between my father and your father: behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your league with Baasha 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 Benhadad listened to 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 Baasha heard it, that he left off building of 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, with which Baasha was building; 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 to him, Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD your God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of 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 Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because you did rely 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 run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly: therefore from now on you shall 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 a 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, see, 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 Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until 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 sepulchers, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries’ are: and they made a very great burning for him.
