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 ।
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 तापनि इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने नबातका छोरा यारोबामका पापहरूमा तिनी लागे । तिनी तीबाट फर्केनन् ।
Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.
4 मोआबका राजा मेशाले भेडाहरू पाल्थे । तिनले इस्राएलका राजालाई एक लाख भेडाका पाठा र एक लाख भेडाका ऊन दिनुपर्थ्यो ।
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he supplied the king of Israel with one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
5 तर आहाब मरेपछि मोआबका राजाले इस्राएलको राजाको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरे ।
But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 त्यसैले त्यस बेला युद्धको लागि सारा इस्राएललाई भेला गराउन राजा योरामले सामरिया छाडे ।
King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered 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 ।”
He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said, “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8 तब तिनले भने, “हामीले कुन दिशाबाट आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ?” यहोशापातले जवाफ दिए, “एदोमको उजाड-स्थानको बाटोबाट ।”
Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” Jehoram answered, “The way of 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 with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.
10 त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजाले भने, “यो के हो? के परमेश्वरको मोआबको हातमा सुम्पिदिन हामी तिन जना राजालाई बोलाउनुभएको हो?”
The king of Israel said, “Alas! For Yahweh has 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, “Isn’t there a prophet of Yahweh here, that we may inquire of Yahweh by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”
12 यहोशापातले भने, “परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीसित छ ।” त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजा यहोशापात र एदोमका राजा तिनीकहाँ तल गए ।
Jehoshaphat said, “Yahweh’s word 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 ।”
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No, for Yahweh has 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 ।
Elisha said, “As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
15 तर अब मकहाँ एक जना सङ्गीतकार ल्याउनुहोस् ।” जब वीणा बजाउनेले वीणा बजाए तब परमप्रभुको हात एलीशामाथि पर्यो ।
But now bring me a musician.” When the musician played, Yahweh’s hand came on him.
16 तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'यो सुक्खा नदीको उपत्यकालाई खाल्डै-खाल्डो बनाओ ।'
He said, “Yahweh says, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
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 Yahweh says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.
18 यो परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा मामुली कुरो हो । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई मोआबीहरूमाथि विजयी पनि तुल्याउनुहुनेछ ।
This is an easy thing in Yahweh’s sight. He will also deliver the Moabites 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 ।”
You shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’”
20 त्यसैले बिहान बलि चढाउने समयमा एदोमको दिशाबाट पानी आयो । देश पानीले भरियो ।
In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came 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 ।
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, young and old, and stood on the border.
22 तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै ब्युँझे र पानीमा घाम प्रतिबिम्बित भयो । मोआबीहरूले तिनीहरूको सामु भएको पानी हेरे, तब त्यो रगतजस्तै रातो देखियो ।
They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them 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 ।”
They said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!”
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 ।
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites.
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 ।
They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it and attacked 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 ।
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew a sword, 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 oldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
