< २ इतिहास 25 >
1 अमस्याहले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पच्चिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा उनन्तिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ यरूशलेमकी यहोअदीन थियो ।
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2 तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल थियो सो गरे, तर पूरा हृदयले होइन ।
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
3 अनि यस्तो भयो, जब तिनको शासन राम्ररी स्थापित भयो, तब तिनले आफ्ना बुबा राजाको हत्या गरेका अधिकारीहरूलाई मारे ।
Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
4 तर तिनले मोशाका व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको यसो भन्ने परमप्रभुको आज्ञालाई पालन गरेर तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई चाहिं मारेनन्, “बुबाहरूलाई छोराछोरीका निम्ति र छोराछोरीलाई बुबाहरूका निम्ति नमार्नू । बरू, हरेक मानिसले आफ्नै पापका निम्ति मर्नुपर्छ ।”
But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the Torah in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
5 यसको साथै अमस्याहले यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे र तिनीहरूका पुर्ख्यौली घरानाअनुसार सारा यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका हजार र सयका कमाण्डरहरूका अधीनमा राखिदिए । तिनले बीस वर्ष पुगेका र त्यसभन्दा बढी उमेरका मानिको गन्ती गरे, र तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या तीन लाख रोजाइमा परेका मानिस, सबै लडाइँ गर्न र भाला र ढाल चलाउन सक्नेहरू भएका तिनले थाहा पाए ।
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
6 तिनले एक सय चाँदीका तोडा तिरेर इस्राएलबाट एक लाख लडाकु योद्धाहरू भाडामा लिए ।
He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
7 तर परमेश्वरका एक जना मानिस तिनीकहाँ आए र भने, “ए राजा, इस्राएलका फौजलाई तपाईंसँग नलानुहोस्, किनकि परमप्रभु इस्राएलसँग हुनुहुन्न— एफ्राइमको कोही पनि मानिससँग हुनुहुन्न ।
A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 तर तपाईं त्यसरी गए पनि, र साहसी र बलियो भए पनि शत्रुहरूका सामु परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई परास्त गर्नुहुनेछ, किनकि सहायता गर्ने, र परास्त गर्ने शक्ति परमेश्वरसँग छ ।”
But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
9 अमस्याहले परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई भने, “तर इस्राएली फौजलाई मैले दिएको त्यो एक सय तोडाको बारेमा हामी के गरौं?” परमेश्वरका मानिसले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई त्योभन्दा धेरै बढी दिन सक्षम हुनुहुन्छ ।”
Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
10 यसैले एफ्राइमबाट आफूकहाँ आएका फौजलाई अमस्याहले अलग गरे । तिनीहरूलाई तिनले फेरि घर पठाइदिए । यसैले यहूदाप्रतिको तिनीहरूको क्रोध धेरै भयो, र रीसले चूर भएर तिनीहरू घर फर्के ।
Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
11 अमस्याहले साहस गरे र नूनको उपत्यकामा जानलाई आफ्ना मानिसहरूको नेतृत्व गरे । त्यहाँ तिनले सेइरका दश हजार मानिसहरूलाई पराजित गरे ।
Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.
12 यहूदाका फौजले अरू दश हजार मानिसलाई जीवितै लिएर गए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई एउटा चट्टानको टाकुरामा लगे र त्यहाँबाट तिनीहरूलाई तल खसालिदिए ताकि तिनीहरू सबै टुक्राटुक्रा भए ।
The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
13 तर अमस्याहले आफूसित युद्धमा नजाउन् भनी फिर्ता पठाइदिएका फौजले यहूदाका सामरियादेखि बेथ-होरोनसम्मका सहरहरू आक्रमण गरे । तिनीहरूले तीन हजार जना मानिसलाई मारे, र धेरै लूटका माल लिएर गए ।
But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.
14 अब यस्तो भयो, एदोमीहरूलाई परास्त गरेर फर्केपछि अमस्याहले सेइरका मानिसहरूका देवताहरू ल्याए र ती आफ्नै देवताका रूपमा स्थापना गरे । तिनीहरूका सामु तिनी घोप्टो परे, र तिनीहरूलाई धूप बाले ।
Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burnt incense to them.
15 यसैले अमस्याहको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको क्रोध दन्कियो । उहाँले एक जना अगमवक्ता पठाउनुभयो, जसले भने, “आफ्नै भक्तहरूलाई त तपाईंको हातदेखि बचाउन नसक्ने देवताहरूको खोजी तपाईं किन गर्नुभयो?”
Therefore the LORD’s anger burnt against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”
16 यस्तो भयो, जब अगमवक्ता तिनीसित बोलिरहेका थिए, तब राजाले तिनलाई भने, “के हामीले तिमीलाई राजाका सल्लाहकार बनएका छौं र? चूप लाग । तँ किन मारिने?” तब अगमवक्ता चूप लागे र भने, “मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंले यो काम गरेर मेरो सल्लाह नसुन्नुभएको हुनाले परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई नाश गर्ने निर्णय गर्नुभएको छ ।”
As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counsellors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
17 त्यसपछि यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहले आफ्ना सल्लाहकारहरूसँग सल्लाह लिए र इस्राएलका राजा येहूका नाति, यहोआहाजका छोरा येहोआशकहाँ यसो भनेर दूतहरू पठाए, “आऊ, युद्धमा हामी एक-अर्काको सामना गरौं ।”
Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”
18 तर इस्राएलका राजा येहोआशले यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहका दूतहरूलाई यसो भनेर फिर्ता पठाए, “लेबनानको एउटा सिउँडीले लेबनानकै एउटा देवदारुलाई यसो भनेर एउटा सन्देश पठायो, ‘तिम्री छोरी मेरा छोरालाई पत्नीको रूपमा देऊ,' तर लेबनानको एउटा जङ्गली पशु त्यताबाट भएर गयो र त्यो सिउँडीलाई कुल्चिदियो ।
Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
19 तिमीले भनेका छौ ‘हेर, मैले एदोमलाई हराएको छु,’ र तिम्रो हृदयले तिमीलाई माथि उचालेको छ । आफ्नो विजयमा गर्व गर, तर आफ्नै घरमा बस, आफ्नै र यहूदाको पनि आफूसँगै पतन ल्याउन तिमी किन खतरामा पर्छौ?”
You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”
20 तर अमस्याहले सुनेनन्, किनभने यो घटना परमेश्वरबाट भएको थियो ताकि उहाँले यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका हातमा दिन सक्नुभएको होस्, किनभने, तिनीहरूले एदोमका देवताहरूबाट सल्लाह लिएका थिए ।
But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
21 यसैले इस्राएलका राजा येहोआशले आक्रमण गरे । तिनी र यहूदाका राजा अमस्याह यहूदाको बेथ-शेमेशमा आमने सामने भएर युद्ध लडे ।
So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 इस्राएलद्वारा यहूदा पराजित भयो, र हरेक मानिस आआफ्नो घरमा भाग्यो ।
Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.
23 इस्राएलका राजा येहोआशले अहज्याहका नाति, योआशका छोरा यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहलाई बेथ-शेमेशमा गिरफ्तार गरे । तिनले उनलाई यरूशलेममा ल्याए र तिनले एफ्राइमको ढोकादेखि कुने-ढोकासम्म चार सय हात लामो यरूशलेमको पर्खाल भत्काइदिए ।
Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 तिनले ओबेद-एदोमको जिम्मामा राखिदिएका, परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका सबै सुन र चाँदी र सबै भाँडाहरू, र राजमहलमा भएका बहुमूल्य थोकहरू र कैदीहरूलाई पनि लगे, र सामरियामा फर्के ।
He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
25 इस्राएलका राजा यहोआहाजका छोरा येहोआशको मृत्युपछि यहूदाका राजा योआशका छोरा अमस्याह पन्ध्र वर्षसम्म बाँचे ।
Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
26 अमस्याहका बारेमा भएका अरू घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्म यहूदा र इस्राएलका राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 अमस्याहले परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्नबाट तर्केर गएको दिनदेखि नै तिनीहरूले यरूशलेममा तिनको विरुद्ध षड्यन्त्र गर्न सुरु गरे । तिनी लाकीशमा भागे, तर तिनीहरूले लाकीशमा तिनको पछिपछि मानिसहरू पठाए र तिनलाई त्यहीं मारे ।
Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
28 तिनीहरूले तिनको लाश घोडामा बोकाएर यरूशलेममा ल्याए र तिनलाई आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित यहूदाको सहरमा गाडे ।
They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
