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 king of Judah began 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 ।
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in Yahweh his God’s eyes, like David his father.
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 walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel.
4 तिनले उच्च थानहरू, डाँडाका टाकुराहरू र हरेक हरियो रुखमुनि बलिदानहरू चढाए र धूप बाले ।
He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, 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 Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war. They besieged Ahaz, but could not 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 Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and lived there 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 messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.”
8 त्यसैले आहाजले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका चाँदी र सुन अनि राजदरबारका धन-सम्पति लिए र अश्शूरका राजाकहाँ उपहारको रूपमा ति पठाए ।
Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in Yahweh’s house, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present 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 ।
The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.
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 ।
King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans to build it.
11 त्यसैले राजा आहाजले दमस्कसबाट पठाएको योजनाहरू जस्तै ढाँचाको वेदी उरियाह पुजारीले बनाए । राजा आहाज दमस्कसबाट फर्कनुअगि तिनले यसलाई बनेर सिद्ध्याए ।
Urijah the priest built an altar. According to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus.
12 राजा दमस्कसबाट आएपछि, तिनले वेदी देखे । राजा वेदीमा गए र बलिदानहरू चढाए ।
When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it.
13 तिनले आफ्ना होमबलि र अन्नबलि चढाए, आफ्नो अर्घबलि खन्याए, अनि मेलबलिको रगतलाई वेदीमाथि छर्के ।
He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled 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 ।
The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and Yahweh’s house, 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 ।”
King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by.”
16 राजा आहाजले जसरी आज्ञा दिए, उरियाह पुजारीले त्यसरी नै गरे ।
Urijah the priest did so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
17 तब राजा आहाजले गुड्ने आधारहरूबाट पाटाहरू र बाटाहरू हटाए । तिनले विशाल खँड्कुलोलाई त्यसलाई थामिराख्ने काँसाका साँढेहरूबाट निकाले र ढुङ्गाको आधारमा राखे ।
King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement 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 ।
He removed the covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s outer entrance to Yahweh’s house, 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 acts of Ahaz which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 आहाज आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते र दाऊदको सहरमा तिनका पुर्खाहरूसँगै गाडिए । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा हिजकिया राजा भए ।
Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
