< २ राजाहरू 1 >

1 आहाबको मृत्युपछि मोआब इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 तब अहज्याह सामरियामा माथिल्लो कोठाको झ्यालबाट तल खसे र घाइते भए । यसैले तिनले सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “जाओ र यस चोटबाट म निको हुन्छु कि हुन्‍न एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबलाई सोध ।”
Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
3 तर परमप्रभुका दूतले तिश्बी एलियालाई भने, “उठ, र सामरियाका राजाका सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भेट्न जाऊ, अनि तिनीहरूलाई सोध, 'के इस्राएलमा कुनै परमेश्‍वर नभएको हुनाले तिमीहरू एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबसित सल्लाह लिन जाँदैछौ?
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are on your way to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’
4 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, “तँ उक्‍लेको त्‍यो माथिको ओछ्यानबाट तँ तल आउनेछैनस् । बरु, तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्' ।” तब एलिया गए ।
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’” So Elijah departed.
5 जब सन्देशवाहकहरू अहज्याहकहाँ फर्के तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरू किन फर्केका छौ?”
When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you returned?”
6 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “एक जना मानिस हामीलाई भेट्न आए जसले हामीलाई भने, 'तिमीहरूलाई पठाउने राजाकहाँ फर्के जाऊ र तिनलाई भन, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः 'के इस्राएलमा कुनै परमेश्‍वर नभएको हुनाले तिमीहरू एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबसित सल्लाह लिन जाँदैछौ? त्यसकारण तँ उक्‍लेको त्‍यो माथिको ओछ्यानबाट तँ तल आउनेछैनस् । बरु, तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्' ।”
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”
7 अहज्याहले आफ्ना सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न आउने र यी कुराहरू भन्‍ने मानिस कस्‍तो किसिमको थियो?”
The king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?”
8 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “तिनले रौँका लुगा लगाएका थिए, र आफ्नो कम्मरमा छालाको पेटी बाँधेका थिए ।” त्यसैले राजाले भने, “तिनी त तिश्बी एलिया हुन् ।”
“He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.” “It was Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
9 तब राजाले पचास जना सिपाहीसँगै एक जना कप्‍तानलाई एलियाकहाँ पठाए । कप्‍तान एलियाकहाँ गए जहाँ तिनी डाँडाको टाकुरामा बसिरहेका थिए । कप्‍तानले तिनलाई भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, राजाले भन्‍नुभएको छ, 'तल आउनुहोस्' ।”
Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down!’”
10 एलियाले कप्‍तानलाई भने, “म परमेश्‍वरका मानिस हुँ भने स्वर्गबाट आगो झरोस् र तपाईं र तपाईंका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पारोस् ।” तब स्वर्गबाट आगो झर्‍यो र तिनलाई र तिनका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पार्‍यो ।
Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
11 फेरि राजा अहज्याहले अर्का कप्‍तानलाई पचास जना सिपाहीसहित एलियाकहाँ पठाए । यी कप्‍तानले पनि एलियालाई भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, राजा भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'झट्टै तल आउनुहोस्' ।”
So the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down at once!’”
12 एलियाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म परमेश्‍वरका मानिस हुँ भने स्वर्गबाट आगो झरोस् र तपाईं र तपाईंका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पारोस् ।” फेरि स्वर्गबाट परमेश्‍वरको आगो झर्‍यो र तिनलाई र तिनका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पार्‍यो ।
Again Elijah replied, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
13 तथापि राजाले पचास जना योद्धाको तेस्रो समूह पठाए । यो कप्‍तान माथि उक्‍ले, एलियाको सामु आफ्‍ना घुँडा टेके र तिनले विनम्रतापूर्वक बिन्ती गरेर भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, म तपाईंसँग बिन्‍ति गर्छु, कि मेरो जीवन र तपाईंका यी पचास जना दासका जीवन तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा मूल्यवान् होऊन् ।
So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. And the third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, “Man of God, may my life and the lives of these fifty servants please be precious in your sight.
14 वास्तवमा स्वर्गबाट आगो झर्‍यो र यस अघिका दुई जना कप्‍तानलाई तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूसँगै भस्म पार्‍यो, तर मेरो जीवन तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा मूल्यवान् होस् ।”
Behold, fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty, with all their men. But now may my life be precious in your sight.”
15 परमप्रभुका दूतले एलियालाई भने, “त्‍योसँगै तल जा । त्‍योदेखि नडरा ।” त्यसैले एलिया उठे र त्‍योसँगै राजाकहाँ गए ।
Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 पछि एलियाले अहज्याहलाई भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तैँले एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबसित सल्लाह लिन सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएको छस् । जानकारी लिनको लागि इस्राएलमा कुनै परमेश्‍वर नभएको हुनाले त्‍यसो गरेको हो? यसैले तँ उक्‍लेको त्‍यो माथिको ओछ्यानबाट तँ तल आउनेछैनस् । तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्' ।”
And Elijah said to King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”
17 यसरी एलियाले बोलेको परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार अहज्याह मरे । अहज्याहको कुनै छोरो नभएको हुनाले यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातका छोरा यहोरामको दोस्रो वर्षमा योरामले तिनको ठाउँमा राज्य गर्न थाले ।
So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat over Judah.
18 अहज्याहका सम्‍बन्‍धमा भएका अरू कुराहरूका बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
