< 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 inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the 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 ।
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 तिनी पनि आहाबको घरानाका चालमा हिंडे, किनकि दुष्‍ट कुराहरू गर्नलाई तिनकी आमा सल्‍लाहकार थिइन् ।
He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were 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 ।
He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded 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 ।
He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
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 ।
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
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 ।
When Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed 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 ।
He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10 अब अहज्‍याहकी आमा अतल्‍याहले आफ्‍ना छोरा मरेका देखिन्, तिनी उठिन् र यहूदाका सारा राजकीय सन्तानहरूलाई मारिन् ।
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring 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, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she didn’t kill him.
12 अतल्‍याहले देशमा राज्‍य गर्दा तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा छ वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूसँगै लुकाएर राखिए ।
He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
