२ राजाहरू 14

1 इस्राएलका राजा यहोआहाजको छोरा यहोआशको दोस्रो वर्षमा यहूदाका राजा योआशका छोरा अमस्याहले राज्‍य गर्न थाले ।

In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah, the son of Joash, became king of Judah.

2 तिनले राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पच्‍चिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा उनन्तिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ यहोअदीन थियो जो यरूशलेमकी थिइन् ।

He was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

3 परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे ठिक थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे, तापनि तिनका पुर्खा दाऊदले गरेझैँ भने होइन । आफ्ना पिता योआशले गरेका हरेक काम तिनले गरे ।

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, though not like David his father; he did as Joash his father had done.

4 तर डाँडाका थानहरू हटाइएनन् । मानिसहरूले अझै पनि डाँडाका थानहरूमा बलि चढाए र धूप बाले ।

But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

5 तिनको शासन सुदृढ हुनेबित्तिकै आफ्‍ना पिताको अर्थात् राजाको हत्या गर्ने सेवकहरूलाई तिनले मारे ।

Now when he became strong in the kingdom, straight away he put to death those servants who had taken the life of the king his father;

6 तापनि तिनले हत्याराहरूका छोराहरूलाई भने मारेनन् । बरु, तिनले मोशाको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएअनुसार काम गरे, जस्‍तो परमप्रभुले यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो, “बुबाहरूलाई छोराछोरीका कारणले अनि छोराछोरीलाई बुबाहरूका कारणले मार्नुहुँदैन । बरु, हरेक व्यक्तिलाईउसको आफ्नै पापको कारणले मार्नुपर्छ ।”

But he did not put their children to death; for the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses say, The fathers are not to be put to death for the children, or the children for their fathers; but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

7 नुनको उपत्यकामा एदोमका दस हजार सिपाहीलाई तिनले मारे । तिनले युद्धमा सेलालाई जिते त्यसको नाउँ योक्तेल राखे जसको नाउँ आजको दिनसम्म पनि त्यही छ ।

He put to the sword twelve thousand men of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela in war, naming it Joktheel, as it is to this day.

8 तब अमस्याहले इस्राएलका राजा येहूका नाति, यहोआहाजका छोरा यहोआशकहाँ यसो भनी सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए, “आउनुहोस्, हामी युद्धमा एक-अर्कालाई आमनेसामने भेटौँ ।”

Then Amaziah sent representatives to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

9 तर इस्राएलका राजा यहोआशले यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहलाई यसो भनी सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए, “लेबनानको एउटा सिउँडीले लेबनानकै एउटा देवदारुलाई यसो भनेर सन्‍देश पठायो, 'तिम्री छोरी मेरा छोरासित विवाह गरिदेऊ ।' तर लेबनानमा भएको जङ्गली जनावर त्‍यताबाट हिंड्‍यो र सिउँडीलाई कुल्‍च्‍यो ।

And Jehoash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

10 तिमीले साँच्‍चै एदोमलाई आक्रमण गर्‍यौ, र तिम्रो शेखी बढेको छ । आफ्‍नो विजयमा गर्व गर, तर घरमै बस किनकि तिमीले किन आफैलाई सङ्कष्‍टमा पार्ने अनि तिमी र यहूदा पनि दुवै किन पतन हुने?”

It is true that you have overcome Edom and your heart is uplifted; let that glory be enough for you, and keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

11 तर अमस्याहले यो कुरा सुनेनन् । त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजा यहोआशले आक्रमण गरे, अनि तिनी र यहूदाका राजा अमस्याह यहूदाको बेथ-शेमेशमा एक-अर्कासित आमनेसामने भेटे ।

But Amaziah gave no attention. So Jehoash, king of Israel, went up, and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.

12 इस्राएलद्वारा यहूदा पराजित भयो, र हरेक मानिस घर भाग्‍यो ।

And Judah was overcome before Israel, so that they went in flight, every man to his tent.

13 बेथ-शेमेशमा इस्राएलका राजा यहोआशले अहज्याहका नाति, योआशका छोरा यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहलाई समाते । तिनी यरूशलेममा आए र तिनले एफ्राइमको ढोकादेखि कुने ढोकासम्म लगभग दुई सय मिटर लामो यरूशलेमको पर्खाल भत्काइदिए ।

And Jehoash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the door in the angle, four hundred cubits.

14 तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका सबै सुन र राजदरबारका मुल्यवान् थोकहरूका साथमा केही बन्दीहरूलाई समेत लगे र सामरिया फर्के ।

And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord and in the store-house of the king, together with those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

15 यहोआश, तिनले गरेका सबै काम, तिनको शक्ति र कसरी तिनले यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहसित लडे भन्‍ने बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and his power, and how he went to war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

16 तब यहोआश आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र इस्राएलका राजाहरूसँगै सामरियाम गाडिए, अनि तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा यारोबाम राजा भए ।

And Jehoash went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place.

17 इस्राएलका राजा यहोआहाजका छोरा येहोआशको मृत्युपछि यहूदाका राजा योआशका छोरा अमस्याह पन्ध्र वर्ष बाँचे ।

Amaziah, the son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

18 अमस्याहका विषयमाभएका अन्‍य कुराहरूका बारेमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

19 तिनीहरूले यरूशलेममा अमस्याहको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र रचे र तिनी लाकीशमा भागे । तिनी लाकीशमा भागे तर तिनीहरूले तिनको पिछा गर्न लाकीशमा मानिसहरू पठाए, र तिनलाई त्यहीँ मारे ।

Now they made a secret design against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.

20 तिनीहरूको तिनको लाशलाई घोडाहरूमा राखेर ल्‍याए र दाऊदको सहरमा तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसितै गाडिए ।

And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in Jerusalem, the town of David.

21 यहूदाका सारा मानिसले सोह्र वर्षका अजर्याहलाई लिए र तिनलाई आफ्‍ना पिता अमस्याहको ठाउँमा राजा बनाए ।

Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

22 राजा अमस्याह आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुतेपछि अजर्याहले नै एलात सहरलाई पुनर्निर्माण गरे र त्‍यसलाई यहूदामा फिर्ता दिए ।

He was the builder of Elath, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.

23 यहूदाका राजा योआशका छोरा अमस्याहको पन्ध्रौँ वर्षमा इस्राएलका राजा येहोआशका छोरा यारोबामले सामरियामा राज्‍य गर्न थाले । तिनले एकचालिस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

In the fifteenth year of the rule of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, ruling for forty-one years.

24 परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे । इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने नबातका छोरा यारोबामको कुनै पनि पापबाट तिनी फर्केनन् ।

He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.

25 इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले आफ्ना सेवक गात-हेपेरका अमित्तैका छोरा योना अगमवक्ताद्वारा बोल्‍नुभएको वचनअनुसार लेबोहमातदेखि अराबाको समुद्रसम्म इस्राएलका सिमानालाई तिनले पुनर्स्थापित गरे ।

He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.

26 किनकि फुक्‍का र स्वतन्त्र हरेक इस्राएलीले कष्‍ट भोगिरहेको परमप्रभुले देख्‍नुभयो, र इस्राएलको लागि कुनै उद्धारक थिएन ।

For the Lord saw how bitter was the trouble of Israel, and that everyone was cut off, he who was shut up and he who went free, and that Israel had no helper.

27 त्‍यसैले आकाशमुनि इस्राएलको नाउँ परमप्रभुले मेट्नुहुनेछैन भनी उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो । बरु उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई येहोआशका छोरा यारोबामको हातबाट बचाउनुभयो ।

And the Lord had not said that the name of Israel was to be taken away from the earth; but he gave them a saviour in Jeroboam, the son of Joash.

28 यारोबाम, तिनले गरेका सबै काम, तिनको शक्ति, कसरी तिनले युद्ध गरे र यहूदाको अधीनमा रहेका दमस्कस र हमातलाई इस्राएललाई फिर्ता गराए भन्‍ने बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all he did, and his power, and how he went to war with Damascus, causing the wrath of the Lord to be turned away from Israel, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

29 यारोबाम आफ्ना पुर्खाहरू इस्राएलका राजाहरूसित सुते, र तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा जकरिया राजा भए ।

And Jeroboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
