२ इतिहास 21
1 यहोशापात आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते र तिनीहरूसँग दाऊदको सहरमा गाडिए । तिनका ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा यहोराम राजा भए ।
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
2 यहोरामका भाइहरू, यहोशापातका छोराहरू अजर्याह, यहीएल, जकरिया, अजर्याह, मिखाएल र शपत्याह थिए । यी सबै इस्राएलका राजा यहोशापातका छोराहरू थिए ।
He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 तिनका बुबाले तिनीहरूलाई सुन, चाँदी र बहुमूल्य थोकहरूका ठुला उपहारहरू र यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सहरहरू पनि दिए, तर राज्यचाहिं तिनले यहोरामलाई नै दिए ।
Their father gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4 जब यहोराम आफ्ना बुबाको राज्यमा उदाएका र आफैलाई राजाको रूपमा बलियोसँग स्थापित गरेका थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना सबै भाइलाई र इस्राएलका धेरै जना अगुवालाई तरवारले मारे ।
Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
5 यहोरामले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बत्तिस वर्षका थिए र तिनले येरूशलेममा आठ वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 आहाबका घरानाले गरेझैं तिनी इस्राएलका राजाहरूका चालमा हिंडे, किनकि तिनले आहाबकी छोरीलाई आफ्नी पत्नीको रूपमा ल्याए, र तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो सो गरे ।
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
7 तापनि दाऊदसित परमप्रभुले गर्नुभएको करारको खातिर उहाँले दाऊदको घरानालाई नाश गर्ने इच्छा गर्नुभएन । उहाँले दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरूलाई सधैँ जीवन दिने प्रतिज्ञा उहाँले गर्नुभएको थियो ।
However the LORD would not destroy David’s house, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
8 यहोरामको समयमा एदोमले यहूदाको अधीनताको विरोध गर्यो, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नै राजा स्थापित गरे ।
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9 तब यहोराम आफ्ना फौज पतिहरू र सबै रथका साथमा एदोमतिर गए । तिनी उठेर एदोमीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्दा रात परेको थियो । एदोमीहरूले तिनी र तिनका रथका फौज पतिहरूलाई घेरेका थिए ।
Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
10 यसैले एदोम आजको दिनसम्मै यहूदाको अधीनताको विरुद्धमा छ । त्यसै बेला लिब्नाले पनि तिनको अधीनताको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्यो, किनभने यहोरामले परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरलाई त्यागेका थिए ।
So Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
11 यसबाहेक यहोरामले यहूदाका पहाडमा अल्गा ठाउँहरू पनि बनाएका थिए र तिनले यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई वेश्याहरूजस्तै जिउने बनाए र यहूदालाई कुमार्गमा लगाए ।
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
12 एलिया अगमवक्ताबाट यहोरामकहाँ एउटा पत्र आयो । त्यसमा लेखिएको थियो, “तपाईंका पुर्खा दाऊदका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ: ‘तँ आफ्ना बुबा यहोशापात चालमा चलिनस्, न त यहूदाका राजा आसाको चालमा नै चलिस्,
A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “the LORD, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 तर आहाबको घरानाले गरेझैं इस्राएलका राजाहरूका चालमा चलेर आहाबको परिवारले गरेजस्तै तैंले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई वेश्याहरूजस्तै गर्न लगाइस्, र तैंले तँभन्दा असल तेरा बुबाका परिवारका आफ्नै भाइहरू, तँभन्दा असल मानिसहरू पनि तैंले मारिस् —
but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute like Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
14 हेर्, तेरा मानिसहरू, तेरा छोराछोरी, तेरी पत्नीहरू र तेरा सबै धन-सम्पत्तिमा परमप्रभुले प्रहार गर्नुहुनेछ ।
behold, the LORD will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
15 तँ आफैलाई चाहिं निको नहुने आन्द्राको रोग हुनेछ । त्यसले गर्दा दिनदिनै तेरा आन्द्रा बाहिर निस्केर आउनेछन् ।”
and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
16 परमप्रभुले यहोरामको विरुद्धमा कूशीहरूका नजिकै बस्ने पलिश्ती र अरबीहरूलाई उक्साउनुभयो ।
The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
17 तिनीहरूले यहूदालाई हमला गरेर आक्रमण गरे र राजाको महलमा फेला पारेका सबै धन-सम्पत्ति लिएर गए । तिनीहरूले तिनका छोराहरू र पत्नीहरू पनि लगे । कान्छा छोरा अहज्याहबाहेक तिनका कुनै छोरा पनि बाँकी रहेन ।
and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 यी सबै भएपछि परमप्रभुले यहोरामलाई निको नहुने रोगले आन्द्रामा प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।
After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 त्यस रोगले तिनलाई केही समयसम्म सताइरह्यो । अनि दोस्रो वर्षको अन्तमा त्यही रोगले तिनका आन्द्रा बाहिर निस्के, र तिनी गम्भीर रोगले मरे । तिनको सम्मान गर्नलाई तिनका मानिसहरूले आगो बालेनन्, जस्तो तिनीहरूले तिनका पुर्खाहरूका निम्ति गरेका थिए ।
In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 तिनी बत्तिस वर्षको हुँदा तिनले राज्य गर्न सुरु गरेका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा आठ वर्ष राज्य गरे, र तिनी मर्दा कसैले पनि शोक गरेन । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे, तर राजाहरूका चिहानमा होइन ।
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings.
