< २ इतिहास 22 >
1 यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूले यहोरामको सट्टामा तिनका कान्छा छोरा अहज्याहलाई राजा बनाए, किनकि आक्रमणमा अरबीहरूसित मिलेर आएका मानिसका झुण्डले तिनका सबै ठुला छोरालाई मारेका थिए । यसैले यहूदाका राजा यहोरामका छोरा अहज्याह राजा भए ।
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king, in his stead, for, all the elder sons, had the band of men slain who came in with the Arabians into the camp, —so Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 अहज्याह ले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाईस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा एक वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अतल्याह थियो । तिनी ओम्रीकी छोरी थिइन् ।
Forty-two years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri.
3 तिनी पनि आहाबको घरानाका चालमा हिंडे, किनकि दुष्ट कुराहरू गर्नलाई तिनकी आमा सल्लाहकार थिइन् ।
He too, walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, —for, his mother, became his counselor, to work lawlessness.
4 आहाबको घरानाले गरेझैं अहज्याहले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो सो गरे, किनकि तिनका बुबाको मृत्युपछि तिनीहरू नै तिनको पतन गराउने सल्लाहकारहरू थिए ।
Wherefore he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, they, became his counselors, after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 तिनीहरूका सल्लाहको अनुसरण पनि तिनले गरे । तिनी इस्राएलका राजा आहाबका छोरा योरामसित मिलेर रामोत-गिलादमा अरामका राजा हजाएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न गए । अरामीहरूले योरामलाई घाइते बनाए ।
Even in their counsel, he walked, and went with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians smote Joram.
6 रामोतमा अरामका राजा हजाएलसँग भएको युद्धमा पाएको चोटबाट निको हुन तिनी यिजरेलमा फर्केर गए । यसैले यहूदाका राजा यहोरामका छोरा अहज्याह योरामलाई हेर्न भनी यिजरेलमा गए, किनभने योराम घाइते भएका थिए ।
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel, because of the wounds wherewith they smote him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria, —and, Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because, sick, was he!
7 अहज्याहले योरामलाई भेटेको कारण परमप्रभुले अहज्याहको पतन ल्याउनुभयो । जब तिनी आइपुगेका थिए, तब तिनी योरामसँग निम्शीका छोरा येहूलाई आक्रमण गर्न गए, जसलाई परमप्रभुले आहाबको घरानालाई नाश गर्नको निम्ति रोज्नुभएको थियो ।
But, from God, came the downfall of Azariah, through his coming to Joram, —and because, through his coming, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8 यस्तो भयो, जब येहूले आहाबको घरानामाथि परमेश्वरको न्याय पूरा गर्दै थिए, तब यहूदाका अगुवाहरू र अहज्याहका दाजुहरूका छोराहरूले अहज्याहको सेवा गरिरहेको तिनले भेट्टाए । येहूले तिनीहरूलाई मारे ।
And so it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, —and found the rulers of Judah and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah ministering to Ahaziah, that he slew them.
9 येहूले अहज्याहलाई खोजे । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सामरियामा लुकिरहेको अवस्थामा समाते, तिनलाई येहूकहाँ ल्याए र तिनलाई मारे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई गाडे, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “यिनी आफ्नो पूरा हृदयले परमप्रभुलाई खोज्ने यहोशापातका छोरा हुन् ।” यसरी राज्यमा शासन गर्नलाई अहज्याहका घरानासँग फेरि कुनै शक्ति बाँकी रहेन ।
And he sought Ahaziah, and they captured him, he, having hid himself in Samaria, and they brought him unto Jehu, and he put him to death, and they buried him, because, said they, he is, the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart, —and, no one of the house of Ahaziah, had ability for the kingdom.
10 अब अहज्याहकी आमा अतल्याहले आफ्ना छोरा मरेका देखिन्, तिनी उठिन् र यहूदाका सारा राजकीय सन्तानहरूलाई मारिन् ।
But, when, Athaliah mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
11 तर राजाकी छोरी यहोशेबाले अहज्याहका छोरा योआशलाई मारिन लागेका राजाका छोराहरूका बिचबाट सुटुक्क भगाएर लगिन् । तिनले त्यसलाई र त्यसकी धाईआमालाई एउटा सुत्ने कोठाभित्र राखिन् । यहोराम राजाकी छोरी र पुजारी यहोयादाकी पत्नी यहोशेबाले (किनकि तिनी अहज्याहकी दिदी थिइन्) योआशलाई अतल्याहको हातबाट लुकाइराखिन्, ताकि अतल्याहले त्यसलाई मार्न पाइनन् ।
But Jehoshabeath, daughter of the king, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the sons of the king who were being slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber, —so Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram—wife of Jehoiada the priest, for, she, was the sister of Ahaziah—hid him from the face of Athaliah so that she slew him not.
12 अतल्याहले देशमा राज्य गर्दा तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा छ वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूसँगै लुकाएर राखिए ।
And it came to pass that he was with them, in the house of God, hidden six years, -while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.
