< २ इतिहास 18 >
1 यहोशापातसँग धेरै धन-सम्पत्ति र सम्मान थियो । तिनले आफ्नो परिवारको एक जना सदस्यसित आहाबकी छोरीको बिवाह गराएर उनीसित वैवाहिक सम्बन्ध जोडे ।
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance. And he joined affinity with Ahab.
2 केही सालपछि तिनी सामरियामा आहाबलाई भेट गर्न गए । आहाबले तिनी र तिनका साथमा भएका मानिसहरूका निम्ति निम्ति धेरैवटा भेडा र गोरुहरू काटे । आहाबले आफूसँग मिलेर रामोत-गिलादलाई आक्रमण गर्न तिनलाई फकाए ।
And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.
3 इस्राएलका राजा आहाबले यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातलाई भने, “के तपाईं मसँगै रामोत-गिलादमा जानुहुनेछ?” यहोशापातले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईंजस्तै हुँ, र मेरा मानिसहरू तपाईंका मानिसहरूजस्तै हुन् । युद्धमा हामी तपाईंसँगै हुनेछौं ।”
And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou are, and my people as thy people, and will be with thee in the war.
4 यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “कृपया, तपाईंको जवाफको निम्ति पहिले परमप्रभुको वचनको खोजी गर्नुहोस् ।”
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray thee, for the word of Jehovah.
5 तब इस्राएलका राजाले चार सय जना अगमवक्तालाई एकसाथ भेला गराए र तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “के हामी रामोत-गिलादमा युद्ध गर्न जाऔं वा मैले जानुहन्न? तिनीहरूले भने, “आक्रमण गर्नुहोस्, किनभने परमेश्वरले त्यो तपाईंको हातमा दिनुहुनेछ ।”
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up. For God will deliver it into the hand of the king.
6 तर यहोशापातले भने, “के यहाँ सल्लाह लिन परमप्रभुको अर्को अगमवक्ता छैन जोसँग हामी सल्लाह लिन सक्छौं?”
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we may inquire of him?
7 इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “परमप्रभुबाट सल्लाह लिनलाई अझै एक जना यिम्लाका छोरा मीकाया छन्, तर म तिनलाई घृणा गर्दछु, किनभने तिनले मेरो निम्ति असल अगमवाणी बोल्दैनन्, तर सधैं खराबी मात्र भन्दछन् ।” यहोशापातले जवाफ दिए, “राजाले यस्तो भन्नुहुन्न ।”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah, but I hate him. For he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil; the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 तब इस्राएलका राजाले तुरुन्तै आफ्ना एक जना अधिकारीलाई बोलाए र भने, “यिम्लाका छोरा मीकायालाई तुरुन्तै झिकाऊ ।”
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
9 यति बेला इस्राएलका राजा र यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात राजकीय पोशाकमा सामरियाको मूल ढोकाका सामुको खलानजिक आआफ्नो सिंहासनमा बसिरहेका थिए, र सबै अगमवक्ताले तिनीहरूका सामु अगमवाणी बोलिरहेका थिए ।
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes. And they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 केनानका छोरा सिदकियाहले आफ्ना निम्ति फलामका सीङहरू बनाए र भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ: यसको सहायताले तपाईंहरूले अरामीहरू नष्ट नभएसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई धकेल्नुहुनेछ ।”
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for him horns of iron, and said, Thus says Jehovah, With these thou shall push the Syrians until they be consumed.
11 सबै अगमवक्ताले त्यसरी नै यसो भन्दै अगमवाणी बोले, “रामोत-गिलादमाथि आक्रमण गर्नुहोस् र विजयी हुनुहोस्, किनकि परमप्रभुले त्यो राजाको हातमा दिनुभएको छ ।”
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper. For Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king.
12 मीकायालाई बोलाउन गएको दूतले तिनलाई भन्यो, “हेर्नुहोस् अगमवक्ताका वचनहरूले एकै मत भएर राजाको पक्षमा बोलिरहेका छन् । तपाईंको वचन पनि तिनीहरूको वचनसितै सहमत भएको होस्, र मिल्दो किसिमले बोल्नुहोस् ।”
And the messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets are good to the king with one mouth. Let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.
13 मीकायाले जवाफ दिए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, परमेश्वरले जे भन्नुहुन्छ, म त्यही भन्नेछु ।”
And Micaiah said, As Jehovah lives, what my God says, that will I speak.
14 जब तिनी राजाकहाँ आए, तब राजाले तिनलाई भने, “ए मीकाया, हामीले रामोत-गिलादको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न जानुहुन्छ, कि हुँदैन?” मीकायाले तिलाई जवाफ दिए, “आक्रमण गर्नुहोस् र विजयी हुनुहोस्! किनकि त्यो महान् विजय हुनेछ ।”
And when he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
15 तब राजाले तिनलाई भने, “परमप्रभुको नाउँमा साँचो कुरा मात्र भन्नू, अरू कुरा होइन भनी म तिमीलाई कति पल्ट भनूँ?”
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Jehovah?
16 यसैले मीकायाले भने, “मैले त सबै इस्राएललाई गोठाला नभएका भेडाहरूझैं डाँडाहरूतिर तितरबितर भएका देखें, र परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘यिनीहरूका गोठाला छैनन् । हरेक मानिस शान्तिसित आफ्नो घर फर्केर जाओस् ।’”
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master. Let them return every man to his house in peace.
17 यसैले इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “तिनले मेरो बारेमा असल अगमवाणी बोल्दैनन् तर विनाशको मात्र भन्छन् भनी के मैले तपाईंलाई भनेको थिइनँ र?”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?
18 तब मीकायाले भने, “यसकारण तपाईंहरू सबैले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्नुपर्छः परमप्रभु आफ्नो सिंहासनमा बस्नुभएको र स्वर्गका सबै फौज उहाँका दाहिने र देब्रेपट्टि खडा भएका मैले देखें ।
And Micaiah said, Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah. I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing at his right hand and at his left.
19 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘इस्राएलका राजा आहाबलाई कसले बहकाउनेछ, ताकि त्यो माथि जाओस् र रामोत-गिलादमा मरोस्?’ एउटाले यसो र अर्कोले उसो भन्छ ।
And Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 तब एउटा आत्मा अगि आए र परमप्रभुको सामु खडा भए र भने, ‘म त्यसलाई बहकाउनेछु’ । “परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई सोध्नुभयो, ‘कसरी?’
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said to him, With what?
21 त्यो आत्माले जवाफ दिए, ‘म जानेछ र त्यसका सबै अगमवक्ताका मुखमा म झूट बोल्ने आत्मा हुनेछु ।’ परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘तैंले त्यसलाई बहकाउनेछस्, र तँ सफल पनि हुनेछस् । अब जा र त्यसै गर् ।’
And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shall entice him, and shall also prevail. Go forth, and do so.
22 अब हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुले तपाईंका यी सबै अगमवक्ताका मुखमा झूट बोल्ने आत्मा हालिदिनुभएको छ, र परमेश्वरले तपाईंका सर्वनाशको आदेश दिनुभएको छ ।”
Now therefore, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets. And Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.
23 तब केनानका छोरा सिदकियाह माथि आए, मीकायाको गालामा थप्पड हाने र भने, “अब कुन बाटो भएर परमप्रभुका आत्मा मबाट तिमीसँग बोल्नलाई जानुभयो त?”
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way did the Spirit of Jehovah go from me to speak to thee?
24 मीकायाले भने, “हेर, त्यो त तिमी लुक्नलाई कुनै भित्री कोठामा गएको दिन तिमी आफैले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।”
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shall see on that day when thou shall go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
25 इस्राएलका राजाले केही सेवकलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले मीकायालाई गिरफ्तार गर्नुपर्छ, र सहरका गभर्नर अमोन र मेरो छोरा योआशकहाँ लानुपर्छ ।
And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son,
26 तिनलाई तिमीहरूले यसो भन्नेछौ, ‘राजा यसो भन्नुहुन्छ: यस मानिसलाई झ्यालखानमा राख र म कुशलसाथ नआएसम्म त्यसलाई थोरै रोटी र थोरै पानी मात्र देओ ।’”
and say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
27 तब मीकायाले भने, “तपाईं कुशलसाथ फर्केर आउनुभयो भने परमप्रभु मद्वारा बोल्नुभएको होइन ।” तब तिनले थपे, “ए सबै मानिसहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।”
And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you.
28 यसैले इस्राएलका राजा आहाब र यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात रामोत-गिलादको विरुद्धमा उक्लेर गए ।
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
29 इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “म आफूलाई गुप्त भेष धारण गर्नेछु र लडाइँमा जानेछु, तर तपाईं आफ्नो राजसी पोशाक नै लाउनुहोस् ।” यसैले इस्राएलका राजाले आफूलाई गुप्त भेष धारण गरे र तिनीहरू लडाइँमा गए ।
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle, but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
30 अरामका राजाले आफ्ना रथहरूका फौज पतिलाई यस्तो आज्ञा दिएका थिए, “साना वा ठुला फौजलाई आक्रमण नगर्नू । बरू, इस्राएलका राजालाई मात्र आक्रमण गर्नू ।”
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.
31 यस्तो भयो, जब रथहरूका फौज पतिले यहोशापातलाई देखे, उनीहरूले भने, “इस्राएलका राजा यिनै हुन् ।” तिनलाई आक्रमण गर्न तिनीहरू फर्के, तर यहोशापात चर्को सोरले कराए, र परमप्रभुले तिनको सहायता गर्नुभयो । परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीबाट अर्कोतिर फर्काउनुभयो ।
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out. And Jehovah helped him, and God moved them from him.
32 यस्तो भयो, जब रथहरूका फौज पतिले तिनी त इस्राएलका राजा होइन रहेछन् भन्ने देखे, तिनलाई खेद्न छोडेर तिनीहरू फर्किए ।
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
33 तर कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो धनु जथाभाबी तान्यो र इस्राएलका राजालाई कवचको जोर्नीमा काँड हान्यो । तब आहाबले आफ्नो सारथिलाई भने, “रथलाई घुमाऊ र मलाई युद्ध मैदानबाट बाहिर लैजाऊ, किनकि म नराम्ररी घाइते भएको छु ।”
And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army. For I am severely wounded.
34 त्यो दिनको लडाइँले भयङ्कर रूप लियो, र राजा साँझसम्म आफ्नो रथमा अडिएर अरामीहरूतर्फ फर्केर रहे । सूर्यास्त हुँने बेलामा तिनी मरे ।
And the battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening. And about the time of the going down of the sun he died.
