२ इतिहास 28

1 आहाजले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा सोह्र वर्ष राज्‍य गरे । तिनले आफ्‍ना पुर्खा दाऊदले गरेझैं परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे असल थियो सो गरेनन्‌ ।

Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not what was right in the sight of Jehovah, like David his father,

2 बरू, तिनी पनि इस्राएलका राजाहरूका चालमा हिंडे । तिनले बाल देवताहरूका निम्‍ति ढलौटे मूर्तिहरू बनाए ।

but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made molten images for the Baals;

3 यसको साथै तिनले बेन-हिन्‍नोमको बेसीमा बलिदानहरू पनि चढाए र इस्राएलको सामुन्‍नेबाट परमप्रभुले देशबाट निकाल्‍नुभएको मानिसहरूका मूर्ति पुजाका घिनलाग्‍दा चालमा हिंडेर तिनले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोबाट हिंड्न लगाए ।

and he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.

4 तिनले अल्‍गा ठाउँहरू र डाँडाका टाकुराहरू र हरेक हरिया रुखमुनि बलिदानहरू चढाए र धूप बाले ।

And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 यसकारण परमप्रभु आहाजका परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई अरामका राजाको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो । अरामीहरूले तिनलाई परास्‍त गरे र तिनका मानिसमध्‍ये धेरै जनालाई कैद गरेर दमस्‍कसमा लगे । आहाज इस्राएलका राजाको हातमा पनि परे, र ती राजाले तिनलाई ठुलो संहारका साथ पराजित गरे ।

Therefore Jehovah his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

6 रमल्‍याहका छोरा पेकहले एकै दिनमा यहूदाका एक लाख बिस हजार सिपाहीलाई मारे, र ती सबै जना शक्तिशाली योद्धा थिए, किनभने तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई त्‍यागेका थिए ।

And Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers.

7 जिक्री नामको एक जना वीर एफ्राइमीले राजाका छोरा मासेयाह र राजाका महलका रेखदेख गर्ने अधिकारी अज्रीकाम र राजापछिका मुख्‍य व्यक्ति एल्‍कानालाई मारे ।

And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.

8 तिनीहरूका आफन्तबाट दुई लाख पत्‍नीहरू, छोराहरू र छोरीहरूलाई इस्राएलका फौजले कैद गरेर लगे । तिनीहरूले धेरै लूटका मालहरू पनि लगे, जुन तिनीहरूले सामरियामा ल्‍याए ।

And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took away also much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

9 तर त्‍यहाँ ओदेद नामका परमप्रभुका एक अगमवक्ता थिए । तिनी सामरियामा फर्किरहेको फौजलाई भेट्न गए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वर यहूदासँग रिसाउनुभएको हुनाले तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका हातमा उहाँले सुम्‍पिदिनुभयो । तर तिमीहरूले चाहिं रीसमा तिनीहरूको संहार गर्‍यौ, जो स्वर्गसम्मै पुग्यो ।

But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah the God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he gave them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

10 अब तिमीहरू यहूदा र यरूशलेमका पुरुष र स्‍त्री दुवैलाई दास-दासी बनाउने इच्‍छा गर्छौ । तर त्‍यसो गर्दा के तिमीहरू पनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु आफ्नो पापको दोषी हुँदैनौ?

And now ye think to subjugate the children of Judah and Jerusalem as your bondmen and bondwomen. Are there not with you, even with you, trespasses against Jehovah your God?

11 यसैले अब मेरा कुरा सुनः आफ्‍ना दाजुभाइबाट तिमीहरूले कैद गरेर ल्‍याएकाहरूलाई फर्काइदेओ, किनकि परमप्रभुको डरलाग्दो क्रोध तिमीहरूमाथि छ ।”

And now hear me, and send back the captives again, whom ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you.

12 तब एफ्राइमका कुनै अगुवाहरू, अर्थात्‌ येहोहानानका छोरा अजर्याह, मशिल्‍लेमोतका छोरा बेरेक्‍याह, शल्‍लूमका छोरा येहिजक्‍याह र हद्‌लैका छोरा अमासा युद्धबाट फर्केकाहरूको विरुद्धमा खडा भए ।

And certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Hezekiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,

13 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “यी कैदीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले यहाँ ल्‍याउनुहुन्‍न, किनकि तिमीहरूले जे विचार गरिरहेका छौ त्‍यसले गर्दा हामीहरूमा परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप ल्याउनेछ, हाम्रा पाप र दोष थप्‍नेछ, किनकि हाम्रा दोषहरू ठुला छन् र इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा भयानक क्रोध आइपरेको छ ।”

and said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; because, for our guilt before Jehovah, ye think to increase our sins and our trespasses: for our trespass is great, and fierce wrath is upon Israel.

14 यसकारण योद्धाहरूले कैदीहरू र लुटेका मालहरू अगुवाहरू र सबै समुदायका उपस्‍थितिमा छोडिदिए ।

Then the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

15 नाम तोकेर जिम्‍मेवारी पाएका मानिसहरू खडा भए र कैदीहरूलाई लगेर लुटेका मालबाट सबै नाङ्गा मानिसहरूलाई लुगा दिए । तिनीहरूलाई लुगा लगाइदिए र तिनीहरूलाई र जुत्ता दिए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई खान र पानी दिए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका घाउहरूको उपचार गरिदिए र कमजोरहरूलाई गधामा चढाए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई यरीहोमा (खजूरका रुखहरूको सहरमा ) आफ्ना आफन्तहरूकहाँ लगे । त्‍यसपछि तिनीहरू सामरिया फर्के ।

And the men that have been expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them on asses, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, to their brethren. And they returned to Samaria.

16 त्‍यस बेला राजा आहाजले अश्‍शूरका राजाकहाँ सहायताको निम्ति दूतहरू पठाए ।

At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

17 किनकि एदोमीहरूले फेरि आक्रमण गर्ने आएका र यहूदालाई जितेर कैदी बनाएर लगेका थिए ।

And again the Edomites came and smote Judah, and carried away captives.

18 पलिश्‍तीहरूले पनि पहाड र यहूदाको मैदानका र नेगेवका सहरहरूमा आक्रमण गरे । उनीहरूले बेथशेमेश, अय्‍यालोन र गदेरोत, अनि सोखो, तिम्‍ना र गिम्‍जो, तिनका बस्‍तीहरू कब्‍जा गरे । तिनीहरूले ती ठाउँमा बसोबास गर्न गए ।

And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the south of Judah, and took Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Socho and its dependent villages, and Timnah and its dependent villages, and Guimzo and its dependent villages; and they dwelt there.

19 किनकि इस्राएलका राजा आहाजको कारणले परमप्रभुले यहूदालाई तल होच्‍याउनुभयो । किनकि यहूदामा तिनले दुष्‍टतापूर्वक काम गरेका थिए र परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध धेरै पाप गरेका थिए ।

For Jehovah humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made Judah lawless, and transgressed much against Jehovah.

20 अश्‍शूरका राजा तिग्‍लत-पिलेसेर तिनीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई सहायता दिनुको साटोमा झन्‌ तिनलाई कष्‍ट दिए ।

And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and troubled him, and did not support him.

21 किनकि आहाजले अश्‍शूरका राजालाई दिनको निम्ति परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिर, राजा र भारदारहरूका महलहरू लुटे । तर यसले तिनलाई केही फाइदा भएन ।

For Ahaz stripped the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave to the king of Assyria; but he was of no help to him.

22 तिनै राजा आहाजले आफ्‍नो कष्‍टको समयमा परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध झन्‌ धेरै पाप गरे ।

And in the time of his trouble he transgressed yet more against Jehovah, this king Ahaz.

23 किनकि तिनले आफूलाई परास्‍त गर्ने दमस्‍कसका देवताहरूलाई बलिदान चढाए । तिनले भने, “अरामका राजाहरूका देवताहरूले उनीहरूलाई सहायता गरेका हुनाले म तिनीहरूलाई बलिदान चढाउनेछु, ताकि तिनीहरूले मलाई सहायता गरुन्‌ ।” तर तिनीहरू नै तिनको र सारा इस्राएलको पतनको कारण बने ।

And he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had smitten him; and he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

24 आहाजले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरका भाँडाकुँडाहरू जम्‍मा गरे र तिनलाई टुक्राटुक्रा बनाए । तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरका ढोकाहरू पनि बन्‍द गरिदिए र तिनले यरूशलेमका हरेक कुनामा आफ्ना निम्ति वेदीहरू बनाए ।

And Ahaz gathered the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and closed the doors of the house of Jehovah, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

25 यहूदाका हरेक सहरमा अरू देवतालाई बलिदान चढाउनका निम्‍ति डाँडाहरूका थानहरू बनाए । तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई क्रोधित तुल्‍याए ।

And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah the God of his fathers.

26 तिनको राजकालका घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्‍त्‍यसम्‍म यहूदा र इस्राएलका राजाहरूका पुस्‍तकमा लेखिएका छन्‌ ।

And the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

27 आहाज आफ्‍ना पुर्खारूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई यरूशलेम सहरमा गाडे, तर तिनीहरूले तिनलाई इस्राएलका राजाहरूका चिहानमा गाडेनन्‌ । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा हिजकिया राजा भए ।

And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
