२ राजाहरू 3

1 यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातको अठारौँ वर्षमा आहाबका छोरा योरामले सामरियामा बसेर इस्राएलमा राज्‍य गर्न थाले । तिनले बाह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria [in] the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

2 परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो तिनले त्यही गरे, तर आफ्ना आमाबाबुले गरेझैँ त गरेनन् । किनकि आफ्ना पिताले बनाएका बालको चोखो ढुङ्गाको मूर्तिलाई तिनले हटाए ।

And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.

3 तापनि इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने नबातका छोरा यारोबामका पापहरूमा तिनी लागे । तिनी तीबाट फर्केनन् ।

Nevertheless, he cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

4 मोआबका राजा मेशाले भेडाहरू पाल्थे । तिनले इस्राएलका राजालाई एक लाख भेडाका पाठा र एक लाख भेडाका ऊन दिनुपर्थ्यो ।

And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.

5 तर आहाब मरेपछि मोआबका राजाले इस्राएलको राजाको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरे ।

But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

6 त्यसैले त्यस बेला युद्धको लागि सारा इस्राएललाई भेला गराउन राजा योरामले सामरिया छाडे ।

And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.

7 तिनले यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातलाई यसो भनेर सन्देश पठाए, “मोआबका राजा मेरो विरुद्धमा बागी भएका छन् । मोआबको विरुद्धमा तपाईं मसँगै युद्ध गर्न जानुहुन्छ?” यहोशापातले जवाफ दिए, “म जानेछु । म तपाईंजस्तै हुँ, मेरा मानिसहरू तपाईंका मानिसहरूजस्तै हुन्, मेरा घोडाहरू तपाईंका घोडाहरूजस्तै हुन् ।”

And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go: I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people, [and] my horses as thy horses.

8 तब तिनले भने, “हामीले कुन दिशाबाट आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ?” यहोशापातले जवाफ दिए, “एदोमको उजाड-स्थानको बाटोबाट ।”

And he said, which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.

9 त्यसैले यहूदाका राजा र एदोमका राजासँगै इस्राएलका राजा गए । तिनीहरू सात दिनसम्म यताउता भौंतारिए, अनि त्यहाँ सेनाका निम्‍ति र तिनीहरूलाई पछ्याउने पशुहरूका निम्‍ति पानी भएन ।

So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.

10 त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजाले भने, “यो के हो? के परमेश्‍वरको मोआबको हातमा सुम्पिदिन हामी तिन जना राजालाई बोलाउनुभएको हो?”

And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!

11 तर यहोशापातले भने, “के यहाँ परमप्रभुका कुनै अगमवक्ता छैनन् जसद्वारा हामी परमप्रभुसँग सल्‍लाह लिन सक्छौँ?” इस्राएलका राजाका सेवकमध्‍ये एक जना जवाफ दियो र भन्‍यो, “शाफातका छोरा एलीशा यहीँ छन् जसले एलियाका हातमा पानी हाल्‍थे ।”

But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here [is] Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

12 यहोशापातले भने, “परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीसित छ ।” त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजा यहोशापात र एदोमका राजा तिनीकहाँ तल गए ।

And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

13 एलीशाले इस्राएलका राजालाई भने, “मेरो तपाईंसित के सरोकार छ र? तपाईंका बुबाआमाका अगमवक्ताहरूकहाँ जानुहोस् ।” त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजाले तिनलाई भने, “अहँ, परमप्रभुले हामी तिन जना राजालाई एकैसाथ मोआबको हातमा सुम्पिदिनलाई बोलाउनुभएको छ ।”

And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

14 एलीशाले भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु जिवित जसको सामु म खडा हुन्छु, उहाँको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्छु । मैले यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातको उपस्थितिलाई आदर नगर्ने भए म तपाईंलाई ध्‍यान दिने थिइनँ वा तपाईंलाई हेर्ने पनि थिइनँ ।

And Elisha said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards thee, nor see thee.

15 तर अब मकहाँ एक जना सङ्गीतकार ल्याउनुहोस् ।” जब वीणा बजाउनेले वीणा बजाए तब परमप्रभुको हात एलीशामाथि पर्‍यो ।

But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.

16 तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'यो सुक्खा नदीको उपत्यकालाई खाल्डै-खाल्डो बनाओ ।'

And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.

17 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरूले बतास देख्‍नेछैनौ, न त वर्षा देख्‍नेछौ, तर यो नदीको उपत्यका पानीले भरिनेछ, अनि तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र सबै पशुले पिउनेछौ ।'

For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

18 यो परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा मामुली कुरो हो । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई मोआबीहरूमाथि विजयी पनि तुल्याउनुहुनेछ ।

And this is [but] a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.

19 किल्लाले घेरिएको हरेक सहर र हरेक असल सहरलाई तिमीहरूले आक्रमण गर्नेछौ, हरेक असल रुखलाई काटेर ढालिदिनेछौ, पानीका सबै मुहान बन्द गरिदिनेछौ र हरेक असल खेतलाई ढुङ्गाले विनाश गरिदिनेछौ ।”

And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

20 त्यसैले बिहान बलि चढाउने समयमा एदोमको दिशाबाट पानी आयो । देश पानीले भरियो ।

And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat-offering was offered, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

21 जब सारा मोआबीहरूले तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्न राजाहरू आए भनी सुने, तिनीहरूमा हतियार भिर्न सक्‍ने सबै जनाले आफैलाई एकसाथ भेला गराए र तिनीहरू सिमानामा तैनाथ भए ।

And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood in the border.

22 तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै ब्युँझे र पानीमा घाम प्रतिबिम्‍बित भयो । मोआबीहरूले तिनीहरूको सामु भएको पानी हेरे, तब त्‍यो रगतजस्तै रातो देखियो ।

And they rose early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side [as] red as blood:

23 तिनीहरू चिच्‍च्याए, “यो त रगत पो हो! निश्‍चय नै राजाहरूको नाश भएको छ र तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई मारेका छन्! त्यसैले, हे मोआबी हो, हामी गएर तिनीहरूलाई लुटौँ ।”

And they said, This [is] blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.

24 जब तिनीहरू इस्राएलको छाउनीमा आए, तब इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई छक्‍क पारे र मोआबीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे जो तिनीहरूका सामुबाट भागे । इस्राएलका सेनाले मोआबीहरूलाई मार्दै तिनीहरूलाई देशको पारिसम्म खेदे ।

And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in [their] country.

25 तिनीहरूले सहरहरू नष्‍ट पारे, र हरेक असल खेत ढुङ्गाले नभरिएसम्म हरेक मानिसले ढुङ्गा फ्याँके । तिनीहरूले हरेक पानीको मुहान थुनिदिए, र सबै असल रुखहरू काटिदिए । कीर-हरेशेत मात्र ढुङ्गाहरूसमेत त्यसको ठाउँमा छोडियो । तर घुयेँत्रो भिरेका सिपाहीहरूले त्यसलाई पनि घेरा हाले र आक्रमण गरे ।

And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirhara-seth they left the stones of it; but the slingers went about [it], and smote it.

26 जब मोआबका राजा मेशाले युद्ध हारेको देखे, तब पार गरेर एदोमका राजाकहाँ जानलाई तिनले सात सय जना तरवार भिरेका मानिसलाई आफूसँग लगे, तर तिनीहरू सफल भएनन् ।

And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom: but they could not.

27 तब तिनले आफ्नो जेठो छोरो लिए जो तिनीपछि राजा हुनेथिए र तिनलाई होमबलिको रूपमा पर्खालमा चढाए । यसैले इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा चर्को क्रोध पर्‍यो, र इस्राएली सेनाले राजा मेशालाई छाडे रतिनीहरूका आफ्‍नै देशमा फर्के ।

Then he took his eldest son that was to reign in his stead, and offered him [for] a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: And they departed from him, and returned to [their own] land.
