< २ राजाहरू 1 >

1 आहाबको मृत्युपछि मोआब इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
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 ।”
Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of 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 Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go 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 ।
Now therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
5 जब सन्देशवाहकहरू अहज्याहकहाँ फर्के तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरू किन फर्केका छौ?”
The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have 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 said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Yahweh says, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”
7 अहज्याहले आफ्ना सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न आउने र यी कुराहरू भन्‍ने मानिस कस्‍तो किसिमको थियो?”
He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told 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 ।”
They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s 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 the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘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 to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, 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' ।”
Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has 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 ।
Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, 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 ।
Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants 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 came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
15 परमप्रभुका दूतले एलियालाई भने, “त्‍योसँगै तल जा । त्‍योदेखि नडरा ।” त्यसैले एलिया उठे र त्‍योसँगै राजाकहाँ गए ।
Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arose 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' ।”
He said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but 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 he died according to Yahweh’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat 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 Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
