२ राजाहरू 17
1 यहूदाका राजा आहाजको बाह्रौं वर्षमा एलाहका छोरा होशियाले राज्य सुरु गरे । तिनले सामरियामा बसेर इस्राएलमाथि नौ वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda began Osee the son of Ela to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो तिनले त्यही गरे, तापनि तिनीभन्दा अगिका इस्राएलका राजाहरूले जस्तै भने होइन ।
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 अश्शूरका राजा शलमनेशेरले होशियालाई आक्रमण गरे र उनी तिनका सेवक बने र तिनलाई कर तिरे ।
Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
4 त्यसपछि आफ्नो विरुद्धमा होशियाले षड्यन्त्र गरेका कुराको जानकरी अश्शूरका राजाले थाहा पाए, किनकि होशियाले मिश्रका राजा सोकहाँ सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएका थिए । साथै, तिनले अश्शूरका राजालाई वर्षैपिच्छे तिर्दै आएको कर पनि तिरेनन् । त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजाले तिनलाई बन्दी बनाए र झ्यालखानामा थुनेर राखे ।
And the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and brought not a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house.
5 तब अश्शूरका राजाले देशैभरि आक्रमण गरे, र सामरियामाथि आक्रमण गरे र यसलाई तिन वर्षसम्म घेराबन्दी गरे ।
And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it [for] three years.
6 होशियाको नवौँ वर्षमा अश्शूरका राजाले सामरियालाई कब्जा गरे र इस्राएलीहरूलाई अश्शूरमा लगे । तिनीहरूलाई गोजानको हाबोर नदीको किनारको हलहमा र मादीहरूका सहरहरूमा तिनले बसाले ।
In the ninth year of Osee the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to the Assyrians, and settled them in Alae, and in Abor, [near] the rivers of Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes.
7 इस्राएलीहरूले आफूलाई मिश्रदेशका राजा फारोको हातबाट छुटाउनुहुने, तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका हुनाले यसरी तिनीहरू बन्दी भए । यी मानिसहरूले अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गरिरहेका थिए,
For it came to pass that the children of Israel [had] transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they feared other gods,
8 र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामुबाट परमप्रभुले धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका अभ्यासहरू तथा इस्राएलका राजाहरूका अभ्यासहरू गरिरहेका थिए ।
and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel as many as did [such things],
9 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा जे कुराहरू गर्नु ठिक थिएन, गुप्त रूपमा त्यही गरे । धरहरादेखि किल्लासम्म नै आफ्ना सबै सहरहरूमा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति उच्च थानहरू बनाए ।
and [in those] of the children of Israel as many as secretly practised customs, not as [they should have done], against the Lord their God:
10 हरेक उच्च डाँडा रहरेक हरियो रुखमुनि तिनीहरूले डुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरू र अशेराका खम्बाहरू बनाए ।
and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.
11 तिनीहरूका सामुबाट परमप्रभुले धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूले गरेजस्तै तिनीहरूले उच्च थानहरूमा धूप बाले । परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाउनलाई इस्राएलीहरूले दुष्ट कुराहरू गरे,
And burnt incense there on all high places, as the nations [did] whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved [images] to provoke the Lord to anger.
12 तिनीहरूले मूर्तिहरूको पुजा गरे, जसका बारेमा परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभएको थियो, “तिमीहरूले यो कुरा गर्ने छैनौ ।”
And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, You shall not do this thing [against] the Lord.
13 तापनि परमप्रभुले हरेक अगमवक्ता र हरेक दर्शीद्वारा इस्राएल र यहूदालाई यसो भनरे चेताउनी दिनुभएको थियो, “आ-आफ्ना दुष्ट मार्गहरूबाट फर्केर मेरा आज्ञाहरू र विधिहरू पालन गर, अनि मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका अनि आफ्ना सेवकहरू अर्थात् अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा मैले तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएका सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न सावधना होओ ।”
And the Lord testified against Israel and against Juda, even by the hand of all his prophets, [and] of every seer, saying, Turn you from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, and all the law which I commanded your fathers, [and] all that I sent to them by the hand of my servants the prophets.
14 तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । बरु परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरमाथि विश्वास नगर्ने आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूजस्तै तिनीहरू ज्यादै हठी भए ।
But they listened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.
15 तिनीहरूले उहाँका विधिहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित उहाँले बाँध्नुभएको करार र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएका करारका आज्ञाहरूलाई इन्कार गरे । तिनीहरूले बेकम्मा अभ्यासहरूको अनुसरण गरे अनि तिनीहरू आफै पनि बेकम्मा भए । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो वरिपरि भएका अरू जातिहरूको अनुसरण गरे जसको नकल्ल नगर्नू भनेर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो ।
And they kept not any of his testimonies which he charged them; and they walked after vanities, and became vain, and after the nations round about them, concerning which the Lord had charged them not to do accordingly.
16 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका सबै आज्ञालाई बेवास्ता गरे । तिनीहरूले पुजा गर्नलाई पिटेर तयार पारिएका धातुको दुईवटा बाछाका बनाए । तिनीहरूले अशेरा देवीको खम्बा बनाए, र तिनीहरूले आकाशका सम्पूर्ण तारा र बालको पुजा गरे ।
They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, [even] two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
17 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोमा हिंड्न लगाए, तिनीहरूले जोखना हेर र टुनामुना गरे, तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ, त्यही गर्न आफैलाई बेचे, र तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई रिस उठाए ।
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and auspices, and sold themselves to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him.
18 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु इस्राएलसित अत्यन्तै रिसाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट हटाइदिनुभयो । त्यहाँ यहूदाको कुलबाहेक कोही पनि छोडिएन ।
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight; and there was only left the tribe of Juda quite alone.
19 यहूदाले पनि परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन्, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएलले गरेका अभ्यासहरूको अनुसरण गरे ।
Nay even Juda kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israel which they practised, and rejected the Lord.
20 यसैले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सबै सन्तानलाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई कष्ट दिनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट नफल्नुभएसम्म उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई लुटको मालको रूपमा अधिकार गर्नेहरूको हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
And the Lord was angry with the whole seed of Israel, and troubled them, and gave them into the hand of them that spoiled them, until he cast them out of his presence.
21 उहाँले इस्राएललाई दाऊदको राजकीय वंशबाट अलग गर्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूले नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई राजा बनाए । यारोबामले इस्राएललाई परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्नबाट बहकाए र तिनीहरूलाई ठुलो पाप गर्न लगाए ।
Forasmuch as Israel revolted from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nabat king: and Jeroboam drew off Israel from following the Lord, and led them to sin a great sin.
22 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यारोबामका सबै पापको अनुसरण गरे र तिनीहरू ती कुराबाट फर्केनन्,
And the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they departed not from it,
23 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले आफ्ना सबै सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा आफूले गर्छु भन्नुभएझैँ इस्राएललाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट हटाउनुभयो । यसरी तिनीहरूको आफ्नै देशबाट इस्राएललाई अश्शूरमा बन्दी बनाएर लगियो, र आजको दिनसम्म पनि त्यस्तै भएको छ ।
until the Lord removed Israel from his presence, as the Lord spoke by all his servants the prophets; and Israel was removed from off their land to the Assyrians until this day.
24 अश्शूरका राजाले बेबिलोनबाट र कूताबाट र अव्वाबाट हमात र सपर्बेमबाट मानिसहरू ल्याए र इस्राएलका मनिसहरूको साटोमा तिनीहरूलाई सामरियाका सहरहरूमा बसाले । तिनीहरूले सामरिया कब्जा गरे र यसका सहरहरूमा बसे ।
And the king of Assyria brought from Babylon the men of Chutha, [and men] from Aia, and from Aemath, and Seppharvaim, and they were settled in the cities of Samaria in the place of the children of Israel: and they inherited Samaria, and were settled in its cities.
25 तिनीहरूले बसोबाससुरु गर्दा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई आदर गरेनन् । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका बिचमा सिंहहरू पठाउनुभयो जसलेतिनीहरूमा कसैलाई मारे ।
And it was so at the beginning of their establishment there [that] they feared not the Lord, and the Lord sent lions amongst them, and they killed some of them.
26 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले अश्शूरका राजालाई यसो भने, “तपाईंले बन्दी बनाएर लैजानुभएका जातिहरू र सामरियाका सहरहरूमा बसोबास गरेका मानिसहरूले यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरूका जान्दैनन् । त्यसैले उहाँले तिनीहरूका बिचमा सिंहहरू पठाउनुभएको छ, र सिंहहरूले यहाँ मानिसहरूलाई मर्दैछन् किनकि तिनीहरूले यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरू जान्दैनन् ।”
And they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom you have removed and substituted in the cities of Samaria [for the Israelites], know not the manner of the God of the land: and he has sent the lions against them, and, behold, they are slaying them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 तब अश्शूरका राजाले यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले त्यहाँबाट ल्याएका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एउटालाई लिएर जाओ । तिनी गएर त्यहीँ बसून्, र तिनले त्यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरू मानिसहरूलाई सिकाऊन् ।”
And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying, Bring some [Israelites] thence, and let them go and dwell there, and they shall teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले सामरियाबाट बन्दी बनाएर लगेका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एक जना आए र बेथेलमा बसे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई कसरी आदर गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सिकाए ।
And they brought one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria, and he settled in Baethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.
29 हरेक जातिले आ-आफ्ना देवताहरू बनाए, अनि सामरीहरूले बनाएका उच्च थानहरूमा तिनलाई राखे । आफू बसोबास गर्ने ठाउँमा हरेक जातिले त्यसै गरे ।
But the nations made each their own gods, and put them in the house of the high places which the Samaritans [had] made, each nation in the cities in which they lived.
30 बेबिलोनका मानिसहरूले सुक्कोन-बनोत बनाए, कूताका मानिसहरूले नेर्गल बनाए, हमातका मानिसहरूले अशीमा बनाए,
And the men of Babylon made Socchoth Benith, and the men of Chuth made Ergel, and the men of Haemath made Asimath.
31 अव्वीहरूले नेभज र तर्ताक बनाए । सपर्बेमीहरूले आफ्ना देवता अद्रम्मलेक र अनम्मलेकका निम्ति आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोमा जलाए ।
And the Evites made Eblazer and Tharthac, and the [inhabitant] of Seppharvaim [did evil] when they burnt their sons in the fire to Adramelech and Anemelech, the gods of Seppharvaim.
32 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको पनि आदर गरे, र तिनीहरूका बिचबाट उच्च थानहरूमा पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे, जसले उच्च स्थानमा निर्मित मन्दिरहरूमा आफ्ना निम्ति बलि चढाए ।
And they feared the Lord, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they lived: and they feared the Lord, and they made for themselves priests of the high places, and sacrificed for themselves in the house of the high places.
33 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्थे र जुन जातिहरूबाट आफू ल्याइएका थिए तिनीहरूकै प्रचलनअनुसार आ-आफ्नै देवताहरूको पनि पुज्थे ।
And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, whence [their lords] brought them.
34 आजको दिनसम्म तिनीहरू आफ्ना पुराना प्रचलनहरूमा लागेकै छन् । तिनीहरूले न परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्छन्, न त परमप्रभुले इस्राएल नाउँ दिनुभएको याकूबका मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभएका विधिहरू, उर्दीहरू, व्यवस्था वा आज्ञाहरू नै तिनीहरूले पालन गर्छन्—
Until this day they did according to their manner: they fear [the Lord], and they do according to their customs, and according to their manner, and according to the law, and according to the commandment which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made Israel.
35 अनि तिनीहरूसित परमप्रभुले करार बाँध्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो, “तिमीहरूले अन्य देवताहरूको भय मान्ने छैनौ, न तिनीहरूको सामु निहुरिनेछौ, न तिनीहरूकको पुजा गर्नेछौ न त तिनीहरूलाई बलि चढाउनेछौ ।
And the Lord made a covenant with them, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, neither shall you worship them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
36 तर महान् शक्ति र उठेका हातहरूले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभुलाई मात्र तिमीहरूले आदर गर्नुपर्छ । तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई मात्र दण्डवत् गर्नुपर्छ, र उहाँलाई मात्र बलि चढाउनुपर्छ ।
but only to the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great strength and with a high arm: him shall you fear, and him shall you worship; to him shall you sacrifice.
37 उहाँले तिमीहरूका निम्ति लेख्नुभएका विधिहरू र उर्दीहरू, व्यवस्था र आज्ञाहरूलाई तिमीहरूले सदासर्वदा पालन गर्नेछौ । त्यसैले तिमीहरू अन्य देवताहरूको डर मान्नुहुँदैन,
You shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgements, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and you shall not fear other gods.
38 र मैले तिमीहरूसित बाँधेको करार तिमीहरूले बिर्सनेछेनौ, न त तिमीहरूले अन्य देवताहरूको आदर गर्नेछौ ।
Neither shall you forget the covenant which he made with you: and you shall not fear other gods.
39 तर तिमीहरूले आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आदर गर्नेछौ । उहाँले तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूको शक्तिबाट तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ ।”
But you shall fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you from all your enemies.
40 तिनीहरूले यो कुरा सुनेनन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले विगतमा गरेका कुरामा तिनीहरू लागिरहे ।
Neither shall you comply with their practise, which they follow.
41 यसरी यी जातिहरू परमप्रभुदेखि डराए र आफूले खोपेर बनाएका मूर्तिहरूको पनि तिनीहरूले पुजा गरे, अनि तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी र नातिनातिनाले पनि त्यसै गरे । आजको दिनसम्म आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले निरन्तर त्यसै गर्दैछन् ।
So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images: yes, their sons and their son's sons do until this day even as their fathers did.
