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: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:

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

For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.

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 ।

Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

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

He sacrificed also and burnt incense in 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 ।

Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they stroke him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who stroke 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 ।

For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD 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 that was next 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 also away 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 the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and all of you have slain them in a rage that reachs up unto 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 all of you purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?

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

Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which all of you have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD 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 ।

Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah 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 unto them, All of you shall not bring in the captives here: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, all of you intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

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

So 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 which were 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 upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

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

At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

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

For again the Edomites had come and smitten 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 ।

The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: 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 the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.

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

And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

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

For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.

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

And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that 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 ।

For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which stroke him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I 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 together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him 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 unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

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

Now the rest of his acts and of 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, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchers of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his position.
