२ राजाहरू 13

1 यहूदाका राजा अहज्याहका छोरा योआशको तेइसौँ वर्षमा येहूका छोरा यहोआहाजले सामरियामा बसेर इस्राएलमाथि राज्‍य गर्न थाले । तिनले सत्र वर्ष राज्य गरे

In the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash son of Ahaziah over Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.

2 परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे, र इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने नबातका छोरा यारोबामका पापको चामा हिंडे । अनि यहोआहाज तीबाट फर्केनन् ।

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.

3 इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको क्रोध दन्कियो, अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अरामका राजा हजाएल र हजाएलका छोरा बेन-हददको हातमा निरन्तर रूपले दिनुभयो ।

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.

4 त्यसैले यहोआहाजले परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती गरे, र परमप्रभुले तिनको कुरा सुन्‍नुभयो किनकि अरामका राजाले कसरी इस्राएलमाथि थिचोमिचो गरिरहेका थिए भनी उहाँले देख्‍नुभयो ।

Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him because He saw the oppression that the king of Aram had inflicted on Israel.

5 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई एउटा उद्धारक दिनुभयो, अनि तिनीहरू अरामीहरूका हातबाट उम्के, र इस्राएलीहरू पहिलेजस्तै आ-आफ्ना घरमा बस्‍न लागे ।

So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.

6 तापनि इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने यारोबामका घरानाका पापहरूबाट तिनीहरू फर्केनन्, र तिनीहरू तिनमा लागिरहे । अनि अशेरा देवीको खम्बा सामरियामा रहिरह्‍यो ।

Nevertheless, they did not turn away from the sins that the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but they continued to walk in them. The Asherah pole even remained standing in Samaria.

7 अरामीहरूले यहोआहाजलाई केवल पचास घोडचढी, दसवटा रथ र दस हजार पैदल सिपाही मात्र छाडे किनकि अरामका राजाले तिनीहरूलाई नाश पारेका थिए र तिनीहरूलाई अन्‍न चुट्ने समयको भुसजस्तै पारेका थिए ।

Jehoahaz had no army left, except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing.

8 यहोआहाज, तिनले गरेका सबै काम र तिनको शक्तिको बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, along with all his accomplishments and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

9 यसरी यहोआहाज आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सामरियामा गाडे । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा यहोआश राजा भए ।

And Jehoahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And his son Jehoash reigned in his place.

10 यहूदाका राजा योआशको सैँतिसौँ वर्षमा यहोआहाजका छोरा यहोआशले सामरियामा बसेर इस्राएलमाथि राज्‍य गर्न थाले । तिनले सोह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Joash over Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years.

11 परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे । तिनले इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने नबातका छोरा यारोबामको कुनै पनि पापलाई छाडेनन्, तर तिनी तिनैमा हिंडे ।

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them.

12 यहोआश, तिनले गरेका सबै कामहरू र कसरी तिनको शक्ति जसद्वारा तिनले यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहको विरुद्धमा लडे भन्‍ने बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with all his accomplishments and his might, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

13 यहोआश आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र यारोबाम तिनको सिंहासनमा बसे । इस्राएलका राजाहरूसँगै यहोआशलाई सामरियामा गाडियो ।

And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 अब एलीशा एउटा रोगले बिरामी परे जसबाट पछि तिनी मरे । त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजा यहोआश तिनीकहाँ आए र तिनीसँग रोए । तिनले भने, “हे मेरा पिता, हे मेरा पिता, इस्राएलका रथहरू र घोडचढीले तिमीलाई उठाएर लाँदैछन् ।”

When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”

15 एलीशाले तिनलाई भने, “एउटा धनु र केही काँडहरू उठाउनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले योआशले एउटा धनु र केही काँडहरू उठाए ।

Elisha told him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash took a bow and some arrows.

16 एलीशाले इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “आफ्‍नो हात धनुमा राख्‍नुहोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनले आफ्नो हातमा धनुमा राखे । तब एलीशाले आफ्ना हात राजाका हातमाथि राखे ।

Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the king put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.

17 एलीशाले भने, “पूर्वपट्टिको झ्याल खोल्नुहोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनले त्‍यसलाई खोले । तब एलीशाले भने, “हान्‍नुहोस्!” तिनले हाने । एलीशाले भने, “यो परमप्रभुको विजयको काँड हो अर्थात् अराममाथि विजयको काँड हो, किनकि अरामीहरूलाई सर्वनाश नपारूञ्जेलसम्म तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई अपेकमा आक्रमण गर्नुहुनेछ ।”

“Open the east window,” said Elisha. So he opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And Elisha declared: “This is the LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek until you have put an end to them.”

18 तब एलीशाले भने, “काँडहरू लिनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनले ती लिए । तिनले इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “तिनले भुइँमा हान्‍नुहोस् ।” तिनले तिन पटक भुइँमा हानेपछि तिनी रोकिए ।

Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped.

19 तर परमेश्‍वरका मानिस तिनीसित रिसाए र भने, “तपाईंले पाँच वा छ पटक भुइँलाई हिर्काउनुपर्थ्‍यो । तब तपाईंले अरामलाई निमिट्ट्यान्‍न नभएसम्म आक्रमण गर्नुहुनेथियो, तर अब त तपाईंले अरामलाई तिन पटक मात्र आक्रमण गर्नुहुनेछ ।”

But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.”

20 तब एलीशा मरे, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई गाडे । नयाँ वर्षको समयमा मोआबीहरूका नयाँ दलहरूले देशलाई लुटे ।

And Elisha died and was buried. Now the Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring.

21 तिनीहरूले कुनै एउटा मानिसलाई गाडिरहँदा तिनीहरूले मोआबीहरूको एउटा दललाई देखे, त्यसैले तिनीहरूले लाशलाई एलीशाको चिहानमा फाले । लाशले एलीशाका हड्‍डीहरूलाई छुनेबित्तिकै त्यो बिउँतियो, र आफ्नो पाउमा खडा भयो ।

Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.

22 अरामका राजा हजाएलले यहोआहाजको जीवनभर इस्राएललाई थिचोमिचो गरिरहे ।

And Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz.

23 तर अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित बाँध्‍नुभएको आफ्‍नो करारको कारणले गर्दा परमप्रभु इस्राएलप्रति अनुग्रही हुनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई दया देखाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूको फिक्री गर्नुभयो । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्नुभएन, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अझै पनि आफ्नो उपस्थितिबाट धपाउनुभएको छैन ।

But the LORD was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence.

24 अरामका राजा हजाएल मरे, र तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा बेन-हदद राजा भए ।

When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.

25 यहोआहाजका छोरा यहोआशले तिनका पिता यहोआहाजबाट हजाएलका छोरा बेन-हददले युद्ध गरी लिएका सहरहरू फिर्ता लिए । यहोआशले तिनलाई तिन पटक आक्रमण गरे, र तिनले इस्राएलका ती सहरहरू फिर्ता लिए ।

Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.
