२ इतिहास 20
1 यसपछि यस्तो हुन आयो, मोआब र अम्मोनका मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूसँग केही मोनीहरू यहोशापातको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न आए ।
It came about after this, that the people of Moab and Ammon, and with them some Meunites came against Jehoshaphat to do battle.
2 त्यसपछि केही यहोशापातकहाँ यसो भन्दै आए, “मृत-सागर पारि एदोमदेखि एउटा ठुलो भिड तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आइरहेछ । हेर्नहोस्, तिनीहरू हासेसोन-तामार, अर्थात् एन-गदीमा छन् ।”
Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A large multitude is coming against you from beyond the Dead Sea, from Edom. See, they are in Hazezon Tamar,” that is, Engedi.
3 यहोशापात डराए र परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न अलग्गै गए । यहूदाभरि तिनले उपवासको घोषणा गरे ।
Jehoshaphat became afraid and set himself to seek Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न यहूदाका मानिसहरू एकसाथ भेला भए । यहूदाका सबै सहरबाट तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न आए ।
Judah gathered together to seek Yahweh; they came to seek Yahweh from all the cities of Judah.
5 यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सभाको सामु परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको नयाँ चोकको अगि यहोशापात खडा भए ।
Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, at the house of Yahweh, in front of the new courtyard.
6 तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वर, के तपाईं स्वर्गका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्न र? के तपाईं जातिहरूका सबै राज्यका शासक हुनुहुन्न र? शक्ति र बल तपाईंका हातमा छन् । यसैले कसैले पनि तपाईंको विरोध गर्न सक्दैन ।
He said, “Yahweh, the God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven? Are you not the ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so no one is able to resist you.
7 हे हाम्रा परमेश्वर, के तपाईंले नै आफ्नो मानिस इस्राएलका सामुबाट यस देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई धपाउनुभएको र यसलाई सदासर्वदाको निम्ति अब्राहामका सन्तानलाई दिनुभएको होइन र?
Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham?
8 तिनीहरू यसमा बसे र यसमा यसो भनेर एउटा पवित्र स्थान बनाए,
They lived in it and built you a holy place in it for your name, saying,
9 ‘हामीमाथि विपत्ति—तरवार, न्याय, वा रोग, वा अनिकाल आउँछ भने— हामी यस मन्दिरको अगि र तपाईंको अगि खडा हुने छौं (किनकी तपाईंको नाउँ यस मन्दिरमा छ), र हाम्रो कष्टमा हामी तपाईंसित पुकारा गर्ने छौं, र तपाईंले हाम्रा बिन्ती सुन्नुहुने छ र हामीलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।'
'If disaster comes on us—the sword, judgment, or disease, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and we will cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear us and save us.'
10 अब हेर्नुहोस्, यहाँ अम्मोन, मोआब, र सेइर पर्वतका मानिसहरू छन्, जसलाई तपाईंले मिश्रदेशबाट आउँदा इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गर्न दिनुभएन । बरु, इस्राएल तिनीहरूबाट तर्केर गए र तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गरेनन् ।
See now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt; instead, Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.
11 हेर्नुहोस्, यिनीहरूले हामीलाई कस्तो प्रतिफल दिइरहेका छन् । तपाईंले हामीलाई अधिकार गर्न दिनुभएको ठाउँदेखि हामीलाई धपाउन तिनीहरू आउँदै छन् ।
See how they are rewarding us; they are coming to drive us out of your land that you have given us to inherit.
12 हे हाम्रा परमेश्वर, के तपाईं उनीहरूको न्याय गर्नुहुन्न र? किनकि हाम्रो विरूद्ध आइरहेको यो ठुलो फौज को सामना गर्ने शक्ति हामीसँग छैन । हामीले के गर्नुपर्ने हो सो हामी जान्दैनौं, तर हाम्रा दृष्टि तपाईंमा छन् ।”
Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power against this great army that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
13 सारा यहूदा आफ्ना सासाना बालबालिका, पत्नीहरू र छोराछोरीसमेत परमप्रभुको अगि खडा भए ।
All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, wives, and children.
14 तब सभाको बिचमा आसापका छोरामध्येका मत्तन्याहका जनाति, यहीएलका पनाति, बनायाहका नाति र जकरियाका छोरा एक जना लेवी यहासेलमाथि परमप्रभुका आत्मा आउनुभयो ।
Then in the middle of the assembly, the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, one of the sons of Asaph.
15 यहासेलले भने, “हे सारा यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्दा र राजा यहोशापात, सुन्नुहोस् । परमप्रभु तपाईंहरूलाई यही भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘नडराओ, यस ठूलो फौजका कारणले हतास नहोओ, किनकि लडाइँ तपाईंहरूको होइन, तर परमप्रभुको हो ।
Jahaziel said, “Listen, all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what Yahweh says to you, 'Do not fear; do not be discouraged because of this great army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God.
16 तिमीहरू भोलि उनीहरूका विरुद्धमा जानुपर्छ । हेर, उनीहरू जीजको बाटो भएर आउँदैछन् । तिमीहरूले उनीहरूलाई बेसीको पल्लो छेउमा यरूएलको उजाड-स्थान अगि भेट्ने छौ ।
You must go down against them tomorrow. See, they are coming up by way of the pass of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 यो लडाइँ तिमीहरूले लड्नुपर्ने छैन । ए यहूदा र यरूशलेम, आफ्नो पंक्तिमा खडा होओ, स्थिर खडा होओ, र परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई बचाउनुभएको कामलाई हेर । नडराओ, न त हतास होओ । तिनीहरूको विरुद्ध भोलि निस्केर जाओ, किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।’”
You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand in your positions, stand still, and see the rescue of Yahweh with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear nor be discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.'”
18 यहोशापातले आफ्नो शिरलाई भूइँमा घोप्टो पारे । यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्दा परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्दै उहाँको सामुन्ने घोप्टो परे ।
Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Yahweh, worshiping him.
19 कहाती र कोरहका वंशका कोही लेवीहरू चर्को सोरमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्न खडा भए ।
The Levites, those of the descendants of the Kohathites and Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
20 तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र निस्केर तकोको उजाड-स्थानमा गए । जब तिनीहरू निस्केर गए, तब यहोशापात खडा भए र भने, “हे यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दा हो, मेरो कुरा सुन । परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरमा भरोसा राख र तिमीहरूलाई सहायता मिल्ने छ । उहँका अगमवक्तामाथि भरोसा गर, र तिमीहरू सफल हुने छौ ।”
Early in the morning they arose and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Trust in Yahweh your God, and you will be supported. Trust in his prophets, and you will succeed.”
21 मानिसहरूसित सल्लाह लिएपछि, परमप्रभुको निम्ति गाउने र उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्नेहरूलाई तिनीहरू हिंड्दै गर्दा, उहाँको महान् वैभवताको प्रशंसा गरेर यसो भन्दै गाउनलाई केहीलाई तिनले नियुक्त गरे, “परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किन उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तात सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।”
After he consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to Yahweh and who praised him for his majestic splendor as they went out before the army, saying, “Give thanks to Yahweh, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.”
22 जब तिनीहरूले गाउन र प्रशंसा गर्न सुरु गरे, तब परमप्रभुले यहूदासँग युद्ध गर्न आइरहेका अम्मोनी, मोआबी र सेइर पर्वतका मानिसहरूको विरूद्ध ढुकेर आक्रमण गर्ने मानिसहरू खडा गर्नुभयो । उनीहरू परास्त भए ।
When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set men in ambush against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who were coming against Judah. They were defeated.
23 किनकि सेइर पर्वतका मानिसहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपले मारेर सिद्ध्याउन र तिनीहरूलाई नाश गर्न भनेर अम्मोनी र मोआबीहरू तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा उठे । जब तिनीहरूले सेइरका बासिन्दाहरूलाई नाश गरेर सिद्ध्याए, तब तिनीहरू सबैले एक-अर्कालाई नाश गर्न मदत गरे ।
For the people of Ammon and Moab rose to fight the inhabitants of Mount Seir, in order to completely kill them and destroy them. When they had finished with the inhabitants of Mount Seir, they all helped to destroy each other.
24 जब यहूदाका मानिसहरू उजाड-स्थान देखिने अल्गो ठाउँमा आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले फौजलाई हेरे । हेर, तिनीहरू मरेर भूइँमा ढलेका थिए । एक जना पनि बाँचेको थिएन ।
When Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked out on the army. Behold, they were dead, fallen to the ground; none had escaped.
25 जब यहोशापात र तिनका मानिसहरू उनीहरूका लूटका माल जम्मा गर्न आउँदा, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका बिचमा प्रशस्त सामानहरू, लुगाफाटा र बहुमूल्य थोकहरू भेटाए, जसलाई तिनीहरूले बोक्न सक्नेभन्दा धेरै आफूसँग लगे । लूटका माल ओसार्न तिनीहरूलाई तीन दिन लाग्यो । त्यो सह्रै धेरै थियो ।
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take plunder from them, they found among them abundant goods, clothing, and valuable articles, which they took for themselves, more than they could carry away. It took them three days to carry off the plunder, there was so much of it.
26 चौथो दिन तिनीहरू बराकाहको बेसीमा भेला भए । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गरे। यसैले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ आजको दिनसम्म पनि, ‘बराकाको बेसी’ रहेको छ ।
On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah. There they praised Yahweh, so the name of that place is the “Valley of Berakah” to this day.
27 त्यसपछि यहूदा र यरूशलेमका हरेक मानिस यहोशापातलाई अगि लगाएर विजयको साथ यरूशलेम जानलाई फर्के, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका शत्रुमाथि तिनीहरूलाई आनन्दित तुल्याउनुभएको थियो ।
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their lead, to go again to Jerusalem with joy, for Yahweh had made them rejoice over their enemies.
28 तिनीहरू वीणा, सितार र तुरही बजाउँदै यरूशलेममा र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आए ।
They came to Jerusalem and to the house of Yahweh with lyres, harps, and trumpets.
29 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका शत्रुहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नुभएको कुरा सुनेर सबै देशका राज्यहरूमा परमेश्वरको भय फैलियो ।
The terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the nations when they heard that Yahweh had fought against Israel's enemies.
30 यसरी यहोशापातको राज्यमा शान्ति भयो, किनकि तिनका परमेश्वरले तिनका चारैतिरबाट तिनलाई शान्ति दिनुभयो ।
So Jehoshaphat's kingdom was quiet, for his God gave him peace all around him.
31 यहोशापातले यहूदामाथि राज्य गरेः तिनले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पैंतिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा पच्चिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अजूबा थियो, र तिनी शिल्हीकी छोरी थिइन् ।
Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
32 तिनी आफ्ना बुबा आसाका चालमा हिंडे । तीबाट तिनी तर्केर गएनन् । परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल थियो सो तिनले गरे ।
He walked in the ways of Asa, his father; he did not turn away from them; he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh.
33 तापनि तिनले डाँडाका थानहरू तिनले हटाएनन् । मानिसहरूले अझैसम्म पनि आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरमाथि आफ्नो हृदय लाएनन् ।
However, the high places were not taken away. The people still had not directed their hearts to the God of their ancestors.
34 यहोशापातको राजकालका अरू घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्म नै हनानीका छोरा येहूको इतिहासमा लेखिएका छन्, जुन इस्राएलका राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
As for the other matters concerning Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu son of Hanani, which is recorded in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 त्यसपछि यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजा अहज्याहसँग मित्रता गरे, जसले धेरै दुष्ट काम गरे ।
After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, allied himself with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who committed much wickedness.
36 तर्शीशमा जाने जहाजहरू बनाउनको निम्ति तिनले उनीसँग मित्रता गरे । तिनीहरूले एस्योन-गेबेरमा जहाजहरू बनाए ।
He allied himself with him to build ships to go to Tarshish. They built the ships at Ezion Geber.
37 तब मारेशाका दोदाबाहुका छोरा एलीएजरले यहोशापातको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी बोले । तिनले भने, “तपाईंले अहज्याहसँग मित्रता गर्नुभएको हुनाले, परमप्रभुले तपाईंका योजनाहरू नष्ट पार्नुभएको छ ।” ती जहाजहरू नष्ट भए ताकि ती तैरन सकेनन् ।'
Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat; he said, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your projects.” The ships were wrecked so that they were not able to sail.
