२ राजाहरू 16
1 रमल्याहका छोरा पेकहको सत्रौँ वर्षमा यहूदाका राजा योतामका छोरा आहाजले राज्य सुरु गरे ।
In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became king of Judah.
2 आहाजले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा सोह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनका पुर्ख दाऊदले गरेझैँ परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक थियो, तिनले त्यो गरेनन् ।
Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king; he was ruling for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord his God, as David his father did.
3 बरु, तिनी इस्राएलका राजाहरूको चालमा हिंडे । वास्तवमा परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको सामुबाट धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका घृणित अभ्यासहरूको अनुसरण गरेर तिनले आफ्नो छोरोलाई आगोमा टेकेर हिंड्न लगाए ।
But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made his son go through the fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
4 तिनले उच्च थानहरू, डाँडाका टाकुराहरू र हरेक हरियो रुखमुनि बलिदानहरू चढाए र धूप बाले ।
And he made offerings, burning them in the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
5 तब अरामका राजा रसीन र इस्राएलका राजा रमल्याहका छोरा पेकह आक्रमण गर्न यरूशलेममा आए । तिनीहरूले आहाजलाई घेरे तापनि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई पराजित गर्न सकेनन् ।
Then Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war; and they made an attack on Ahaz, shutting him in, but were not able to overcome him.
6 त्यस बेला अरामका राजा रसीनले अरामको लागि एलात फेरि प्राप्त गरे र यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई एलातबाट धपाए । तब अरामीहरू एलातमा आए, जहाँ तिनीहरू आजको दिनसम्म नै बसेका छन् ।
At that time the king of Edom got Elath back for Edom, and sent the Jews out of Elath; and the Edomites came back to Elath where they are living to this day.
7 त्यसैले आहाजले अश्शूरका राजा तिग्लत-पिलेसेरकहाँ यसो भनेर सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए, “म तपाईंको सेवक र तपाईंको छोरो हुँ । माथि आउनुहोस् र अरामका राजा र इस्राएलका राजाको हातबाट मलाई बचाउनुहोस् जसले मलाई आक्रमण गरेका छन् ।”
So Ahaz sent representatives to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come to my help against the kings of Aram and Israel who have taken up arms against me.
8 त्यसैले आहाजले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका चाँदी र सुन अनि राजदरबारका धन-सम्पति लिए र अश्शूरका राजाकहाँ उपहारको रूपमा ति पठाए ।
And Ahaz took the silver and gold which were in the house of the Lord and in the king's store-house, and sent them as an offering to the king of Assyria.
9 तब अश्शूरका राजाले तिनको कुरा सुने, र अश्शूरका राजा दमस्कसको विरुद्धमा गए, त्यसमाथि विजय हासिल गरे र यहाँका मानिसहरूलाई बन्दी बनाएर कीरमा लगे । तिनले अरामका राजा रसीनलाई पनि मारे ।
And the king of Assyria, in answer to his request, went up against Damascus and took it, and took its people away as prisoners to Kir, and put Rezin to death.
10 राजा आहाज अश्शूरका राजा तिग्लत-पिलेसेरलाई भेट्न दमस्कसमा गए । दमस्कसमा तिनले एउटा वेदी देखे । तिनले आवश्यक सबै कामको लागि वेदीको ढाँचा र तरिका उरियाह पुजारीलाई नमुनाको लागि पठाए ।
Then King Ahaz went to Damascus for a meeting with Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria; and there he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a copy of the altar, giving the design of it and all the details of its structure.
11 त्यसैले राजा आहाजले दमस्कसबाट पठाएको योजनाहरू जस्तै ढाँचाको वेदी उरियाह पुजारीले बनाए । राजा आहाज दमस्कसबाट फर्कनुअगि तिनले यसलाई बनेर सिद्ध्याए ।
And from the copy King Ahaz sent from Damascus, Urijah made an altar and had it ready by the time King Ahaz came back from Damascus.
12 राजा दमस्कसबाट आएपछि, तिनले वेदी देखे । राजा वेदीमा गए र बलिदानहरू चढाए ।
And when the king came from Damascus, he saw the altar; and he went up on it and made an offering on it.
13 तिनले आफ्ना होमबलि र अन्नबलि चढाए, आफ्नो अर्घबलि खन्याए, अनि मेलबलिको रगतलाई वेदीमाथि छर्के ।
He made his burned offering and his meal offering and his drink offering there, draining out the blood of his peace-offerings on the altar.
14 परमप्रभुको सामु भएको काँसाको वेदी, तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको सामुबाट अर्थात् तिनको वेदी र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको बिचबाट ल्याए र आफ्नो वेदीको उत्तरपट्टि राखे ।
And the brass altar, which was before the Lord, he took from the front of the house, from between his altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of his altar.
15 तब राजा आहाजले उरियाह पुजारीलाई यसो भनेर आदेश दिए, “ठुलो वेदीमा बिहानको होमबलि र साँझको अन्नबलि अनि राजाको होमबलि र तिनको अन्नबलिलाई देश भरिका सबै मानिसका होमबलि र तिनीहरूका अन्नबलि र तिनीहरूका अर्घबलिसँगै चढाऊ । यसमाथि होमबलिको सबै रगत र बलिदानका सबै रगत छर्क । तर काँसाको वेदीचाहिं मार्गदर्शनको सल्लाह लिन मेरो निम्ति हुनेछ ।”
And King Ahaz gave orders to Urijah the priest, saying, Make the morning burned offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burned offering and meal offering, with the burned offerings of all the people and their meal offerings and drink offerings, on the great altar, and put on it all the blood of the burned offerings and of the beasts which are offered; but the brass altar will be for my use to get directions from the Lord.
16 राजा आहाजले जसरी आज्ञा दिए, उरियाह पुजारीले त्यसरी नै गरे ।
So Urijah the priest did everything as the king said
17 तब राजा आहाजले गुड्ने आधारहरूबाट पाटाहरू र बाटाहरू हटाए । तिनले विशाल खँड्कुलोलाई त्यसलाई थामिराख्ने काँसाका साँढेहरूबाट निकाले र ढुङ्गाको आधारमा राखे ।
And King Ahaz took off the sides of the wheeled bases, and took down the great water-vessel from off the brass oxen which were under it and put it on a floor of stone.
18 तिनले शबाथमा प्रयोग गरिने चँदुवालाई हटाए जसलाई तिनीहरूले मन्दिरमा निर्माण गरेका थिए । तिनले अश्शूरका राजाको कारणले मन्दिरबाहिर भएको राजकीय प्रवेशद्वारलाई पनि हटाइदिए ।
the house of the Lord, because of the king of Assyria.
19 आहाज र तिनले गरेका कामका बारेमा ती यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Now the rest of the things which Ahaz did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
20 आहाज आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते र दाऊदको सहरमा तिनका पुर्खाहरूसँगै गाडिए । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा हिजकिया राजा भए ।
And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
