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 honour in abundance, and 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 that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.

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 unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as you are, and my people as your people; and we will be with you in the war.

4 यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “कृपया, तपाईंको जवाफको निम्ति पहिले परमप्रभुको वचनको खोजी गर्नुहोस् ।”

And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray you, at the word of the LORD to day.

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 ।”

Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.

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 the LORD besides, that we might enquire 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 unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto 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 ।”

And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, 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 ।

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied 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 had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus says the LORD, With these you shall push Syria 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 Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall 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 that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let your word therefore, I pray you, be like one of their's, and speak you good.

13 मीकायाले जवाफ दिए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, परमेश्‍वरले जे भन्‍नुहुन्छ, म त्यही भन्‍नेछु ।”

And Micaiah said, As the LORD lives, even 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 was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go all of you 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 you that you say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

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 ।’”

Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore 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 you that he would not prophesy good unto 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 ।

Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on 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 the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? 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?’

Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

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 out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, You shall entice him, and you shall also prevail: go out, and do even 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, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil against you.

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 stroke Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto you?

24 मीकायाले भने, “हेर, त्‍यो त तिमी लुक्‍नलाई कुनै भित्री कोठामा गएको दिन तिमी आफैले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।”

And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

25 इस्राएलका राजाले केही सेवकलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले मीकायालाई गिरफ्‍तार गर्नुपर्छ, र सहरका गभर्नर अमोन र मेरो छोरा योआशकहाँ लानुपर्छ ।

Then the king of Israel said, Take all of you 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 you certainly return in peace, then has not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all you people.

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 Ramothgilead.

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 unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put you on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to 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 the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight all of you not with small or great, save 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 compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

32 यस्‍तो भयो, जब रथहरूका फौज पतिले तिनी त इस्राएलका राजा होइन रहेछन्‌ भन्‍ने देखे, तिनलाई खेद्‍न छोडेर तिनीहरू फर्किए ।

For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again 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 a bow at random, and stroke the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn your hand, that you may carry me out of the host; for I am 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: nevertheless the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
