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 the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, —that he might let none come out or go in, unto 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 brought forth silver and gold, out of the treasuries of the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —and sent unto Ben-hadad, king of Syria, who dwelt in 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 ।”
[Let there be] a covenant, between me and thee, as between my father and thy father.—Lo! I have sent thee silver and gold, go break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, that he may go up 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 chieftains of the forces which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon and Dan, and Abel-maim, —and all the storehouses of the cities of Naphtali.
5 जब बाशाले यो कुरा सुने तब यस्तो भयो, तिनले रामालाई मजबूत बनाउन छोडिदिए, र आफ्ना काम बन्द गरिदिए ।
And it cams to pass, when Baasha heard it, 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 ।
And, Asa the king, took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timbers thereof, which Baasha had used in 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, came Hanani the seer, unto Asa the king of Judah, —and said unto him, Because thou hast leaned upon the king of Syria, and hast not leaned upon Yahweh thy God, for this cause, hath the force of the king of Syria 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 Lybians, a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst lean upon Yahweh, 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, as touching Yahweh, [seeing that], his eyes, are ever running to and fro throughout all the earth, to shew himself strong with them who are perfect toward himself, thou hast made thyself foolish over this, —for, from henceforth, there shall be with thee—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 was Asa angry with the seer, and put him in the house of the stocks, for he was in a rage with him, over this, —and Asa oppressed some of the people, at that time.
11 हेर, आसाका सुरुदेखि अन्तसम्मका कामहरू यहूदा र इस्राएलका राजाहरूका पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
But lo! the story of Asa, first and last, there it is, 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 became diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, exceedingly severe, was his disease, —yet, even in his disease, he sought not Yahweh, but unto physicians.
13 तब आफ्नो राजकालको एकचालिसौँ वर्षमा मरेर, तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते ।
And Asa slept with his fathers, —yea he died in the forty-first 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 stately sepulchre, which he had hewn for himself in the city of David, and laid him on a couch which was full of sweet spices—yea of various kinds, made by the perfumer’s art, —and they burned for him with an exceeding great burning.
