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 ।
The people of Jerusalem appointed Jehoram’s youngest son Ahaziah as their king, because the men [from Philistia] who had invaded Judah with some Arabs had killed all of Jehoram’s other sons. So Ahaziah started to rule Judah.
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 ।
Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of [King] Omri [of Israel].
3 तिनी पनि आहाबको घरानाका चालमा हिंडे, किनकि दुष्ट कुराहरू गर्नलाई तिनकी आमा सल्लाहकार थिइन् ।
King Ahaziah conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done, because his mother encouraged him to do things that are evil.
4 आहाबको घरानाले गरेझैं अहज्याहले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो सो गरे, किनकि तिनका बुबाको मृत्युपछि तिनीहरू नै तिनको पतन गराउने सल्लाहकारहरू थिए ।
He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil, like the descendants of Ahab had done, because after Ahaziah’s father died, they became his advisors. And Ahaziah died as a result of heeding their bad advice.
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 ।
He also did what they advised when he went with Joram, the son of King Ahab of Israel, to fight against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth-Gilead.
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 ।
Then King Ahaziah went down to Jezreel [city] to see Joram, the son of [King] Ahab, because he had been wounded.
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 ।
It was during that visit that God caused Ahaziah to die. When Ahaziah arrived, he went with Joram to meet Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had appointed to kill all the descendants 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 ।
While Jehu [and the men who were with him] were killing the descendants of Ahab, they found the leaders of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives who had been working for Ahaziah, and they killed all of 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 ।
Then Jehu went to find Ahaziah, and his soldiers found Ahaziah while he was hiding in Samaria [city]. They brought him to Jehu and executed him. Then they buried his corpse, because they said, “[He deserves to be buried, because] he was a descendant of Jehoshaphat, who tried hard to please Yahweh.” There were no descendants of Ahaziah who were powerful enough to become the kings of Judah.
10 अब अहज्याहकी आमा अतल्याहले आफ्ना छोरा मरेका देखिन्, तिनी उठिन् र यहूदाका सारा राजकीय सन्तानहरूलाई मारिन् ।
When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
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 Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash, Ahaziah’s very young son, away from the other sons of the king who were about to be murdered, and she hid him and his nursemaid in a bedroom in the temple. Because Jehosheba, who was the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of the Supreme Priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child, with the result that Athaliah could not kill him.
12 अतल्याहले देशमा राज्य गर्दा तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा छ वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूसँगै लुकाएर राखिए ।
He remained hidden there for six years while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
