२ राजाहरू 16
1 रमल्याहका छोरा पेकहको सत्रौँ वर्षमा यहूदाका राजा योतामका छोरा आहाजले राज्य सुरु गरे ।
In the seventeenth year of Phakee son of Romelias began Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda to reign.
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 ।
Twenty years old was Achaz when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the Lord his God faithfully, as David his father [had done].
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 ।
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, he made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
4 तिनले उच्च थानहरू, डाँडाका टाकुराहरू र हरेक हरियो रुखमुनि बलिदानहरू चढाए र धूप बाले ।
And he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places, and upon the hills, and under every shady 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 went up Raasson king of Syria and Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel against Jerusalem to war, and besieged Achaz, but could not prevail [against 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 Raasson king of Syria recovered Aelath to Syria, and drove out the Jews from Aelath, and the Idumeans came to Aelath, and dwelt there until 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 ।”
And Achaz sent messengers to Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, deliver me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.
8 त्यसैले आहाजले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका चाँदी र सुन अनि राजदरबारका धन-सम्पति लिए र अश्शूरका राजाकहाँ उपहारको रूपमा ति पठाए ।
And Achaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and sent gifts to the king.
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 the Assyrians hearkened to him: and the king of the Assyrians went up to Damascus and took it, and removed the inhabitants, and slew king Raasson.
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 ।
And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians at Damascus; and he saw an altar at Damascus. And king Achaz sent to Urias the priest the pattern of the altar, and its proportions, and all its workmanship.
11 त्यसैले राजा आहाजले दमस्कसबाट पठाएको योजनाहरू जस्तै ढाँचाको वेदी उरियाह पुजारीले बनाए । राजा आहाज दमस्कसबाट फर्कनुअगि तिनले यसलाई बनेर सिद्ध्याए ।
And Urias the priest built the altar, according to all [the directions] which king Achaz sent from Damascus.
12 राजा दमस्कसबाट आएपछि, तिनले वेदी देखे । राजा वेदीमा गए र बलिदानहरू चढाए ।
And the king saw the altar, and went up to it,
13 तिनले आफ्ना होमबलि र अन्नबलि चढाए, आफ्नो अर्घबलि खन्याए, अनि मेलबलिको रगतलाई वेदीमाथि छर्के ।
and offered his whole-burnt-offering, and his meat-offering, and his drink-offering, and poured out the blood of his peace-offerings on the brazen altar that was before the Lord.
14 परमप्रभुको सामु भएको काँसाको वेदी, तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको सामुबाट अर्थात् तिनको वेदी र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको बिचबाट ल्याए र आफ्नो वेदीको उत्तरपट्टि राखे ।
And he brought forward [the one] before the house of the Lord from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and he set it openly by the side of the altar northwards.
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 Achaz charged Urias the priest, saying, Offer upon the great altar the whole-burnt-offering in the morning and the meat-offering in the evening, and the whole-burnt-offering of the king, and his meat-offering, and the whole-burnt-offering of all the people, and their meat-offering, and their drink-offering; and thou shalt pour all the blood of the whole-burnt-offering, and all the blood of [any other] sacrifice upon it: and the brazen altar shall be for me in the morning.
16 राजा आहाजले जसरी आज्ञा दिए, उरियाह पुजारीले त्यसरी नै गरे ।
And Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz commanded him.
17 तब राजा आहाजले गुड्ने आधारहरूबाट पाटाहरू र बाटाहरू हटाए । तिनले विशाल खँड्कुलोलाई त्यसलाई थामिराख्ने काँसाका साँढेहरूबाट निकाले र ढुङ्गाको आधारमा राखे ।
And king Achaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them, and took down the sea from the brazen oxen that were under it, and set it upon a base 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 ।
And he made a base for the throne in the house of the Lord, and he turned the king's entrance without in the house of the Lord because of the king of the Assyrians.
19 आहाज र तिनले गरेका कामका बारेमा ती यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
And the rest of the acts of Achaz, even all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
20 आहाज आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते र दाऊदको सहरमा तिनका पुर्खाहरूसँगै गाडिए । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा हिजकिया राजा भए ।
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
