< २ राजाहरू 1 >

1 आहाबको मृत्युपछि मोआब इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
Then did Moab rebel against Israel after the death of Achab.
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 ।”
And Achazyah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and became sick; and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Ba'al-zebub the god of 'Ekron whether I shall recover from this sickness.
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 an angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Ba'al-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 ।
Now therefore, thus hath said the Lord, From the bed on which thou art gone up shalt thou not come down; for thou shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
5 जब सन्देशवाहकहरू अहज्याहकहाँ फर्के तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरू किन फर्केका छौ?”
And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them, Why is this that ye are already 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' ।”
And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and he said unto us, Go, return unto the king that hath sent you, and speak unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Ba'al-zebub the god of 'Ekron? therefore from the bed on which thou art gone up shalt thou not come down; for thou shalt surely die.
7 अहज्याहले आफ्ना सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न आउने र यी कुराहरू भन्‍ने मानिस कस्‍तो किसिमको थियो?”
And he spoke unto them, What is the manner of the man who came up to meet you, and spoke unto you these words?
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 ।”
And they said unto him, He is a hairy man, with a girdle of leather girded about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
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 did he send unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty: and he went up to him, and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the mount; and he spoke unto him, O man of God, the king hath commanded, 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 ।
And Elijah answered and spoke to the captain of the fifty, And if I be a man of God, let a fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down a fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 फेरि राजा अहज्याहले अर्का कप्‍तानलाई पचास जना सिपाहीसहित एलियाकहाँ पठाए । यी कप्‍तानले पनि एलियालाई भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, राजा भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'झट्टै तल आउनुहोस्' ।”
And he sent again unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he commenced and spoke unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
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 ।
And Elijah answered and spoke unto them, If I be a man of God, let a fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
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 ।
And he sent again a captain of fifty the third time with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and bent down on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and spoke unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life and the life of these fifty thy servants be precious in thy eyes.
14 वास्तवमा स्वर्गबाट आगो झर्‍यो र यस अघिका दुई जना कप्‍तानलाई तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूसँगै भस्म पार्‍यो, तर मेरो जीवन तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा मूल्यवान् होस् ।”
Behold, there came down a fire from heaven, and consumed the two captains of the first fifties with their fifties; and now let my life be precious in thy eyes.
15 परमप्रभुका दूतले एलियालाई भने, “त्‍योसँगै तल जा । त्‍योदेखि नडरा ।” त्यसैले एलिया उठे र त्‍योसँगै राजाकहाँ गए ।
And the angel of the Lord spoke unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him, and he arose, and went down with him unto 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 he spoke unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as thou didst send messengers to inquire of Ba'al-zebub the God of 'Ekron, as though there were no God in Israel to inquire of his word: therefore from the bed on which thou art gone up shalt thou not come down; for thou shalt 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 ।
And he died, according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken; and Jehoram became king in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 अहज्याहका सम्‍बन्‍धमा भएका अरू कुराहरूका बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Now the rest of the acts of Achazyahu which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
