< २ राजाहरू 4 >

1 अगमवक्ताका छोराहरूमध्ये एउटाकी पत्‍नी एलीशाकहाँ रुँदै आएर यसो भनिन्, “मेरा पति तपाईंका दास मर्नुभयो, र तपाईंका दास परमप्रभुदेखि डराउनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तपाईंलाई थाहा छ । अब मेरा दुई छोरालाई कमारा बनाउन लैजानलाई ऋणदाता आएका छन् ।”
Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
2 त्यसैले एलीशाले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो निम्ति म के गरौं? घरमा तिमीसँग के छ मलाई भन ।” तिनले भनिन्, “तपाईंका दासीको घरमा एउटा भाँडोमा तेलबाहेक केही छैन ।”
Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
3 तब एलीशाले भने, “तिम्रा छिमेकीहरूबाट रित्ता भाँडाहरू पैँचो माग्‍न जाऊ । सकेजति धेरै पैँचो माग ।
Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.
4 त्यसपछि तिमी भित्र जाऊ र तिम्रा छोराहरूलाई पनि भित्र राखेर ढोका बन्द गर, अनि ती सबै भाँडामा तेल खन्याऊ । भरिएका भाँडाहरू एकापट्टि राख ।”
Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
5 त्यसैले तिनी एलीशाबाट विदा भइन्, र तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई पनि भित्र राखेर ढोका बन्द गरिन् । तिनीहरूले तिनीकहाँ भाँडाहरू ल्याए, र तिनले ती तेलले भरिन् ।
So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
6 जब ती भाँडाहरू भरिए तब तिनले आफ्नो छोरोलाई भनिन्, “अर्को भाँडा मकहाँ ल्याऊ ।” तर उसले तिनलाई भन्‍यो, “अब एउटै भाँडा पनि छैन।” त्यसपछि तेल आउन पनि छाड्यो ।
When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 तब तिनी आइन् र परमेश्‍वरका मानिसलाई त्यो कुरो बताइन् । तिनले भने, “गएर तेल बेच । तिम्रो ऋण तिर, र आफ्ना छोराहरूसित आरामसित बस ।”
Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
8 एक दिन एलीशा शूनेममा गए जहाँ एक जना प्रतिष्‍ठित स्‍त्री बस्थिन् । उनले तिनलाई तिनीसँगै खाना खान अनुरोध गरिन् । त्यसैले जब एलीशा त्यो बाटो भएर जान्थे, तब तिनी खानको लागि त्यहाँ रोकिन्थे ।
One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
9 ती स्‍त्रीले आफ्ना पतिलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, अब मलाई थाहा भयो, कि यिनी परमेश्‍वरका पवित्र मानिस हुन् जो सधैँ यो बाटो हिंड्‍छन् ।
She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
10 कौसीमा एलीशाको लागि एउटा सानो कोठा बनाऔँ, र त्यसमा एउटा खाट, टेबल, आसन र बत्ती राखौँ । तब तिनी हामीकहाँ आउँदा तिनी त्यहीँ बस्‍नेछन् ।”
Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
11 यसरी फेरि एक दिन आयो जतिबेला एलीशा त्‍यहाँ रोकिए, तिनी त्‍यो कोठामा बसे, र त्यहीँ विश्राम गरे ।
One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
12 एलीशाले आफ्नो सेवक गेहजीलाई भने, “ती शूनम्मीलाई बोला ।” त्यसले तिनलाई बोलाएपछि तिनी एलीशाको सामु खडा भइन् ।
He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
13 एलीशाले उसलाई भने, “तिनलाई भन्, 'हाम्रो वास्ता गर्न तिमीले यो सबै कष्‍ट झेलेकी छ्यौ । तिम्रो लागि के गर्न सकिन्छ? के हामी तिम्रो लागि राजा वा सेनापतिसित कुरा गरौं'?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “मेरा आफ्नै जातिको बिचमा म बस्‍दैछु ।”
He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14 त्यसैले एलीशाले भने, “त्यसो हो भने, तिनको लागि हामी के गर्न सक्छौँ त?” गेहजीले जवाफ दियो, “वास्तवमा तिनीसँग छोरो छैन, र तिनका पति बुढो भएका छन् ।”
He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 त्यसैले एलीशाले भने, “तिनलाई बोला ।” जब त्यसले तिनलाई बोलायो, तिनी ढोकामा खडा भइन् ।
He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 एलीशाले भने, “एक वर्षपछि यही समयमा तिम्रो काखमा एउटा छोरो हुनेछ ।” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “होइन, हे मेरा मालिक र परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, आफ्नी दासीसित झुट नबोल्नुहोस् ।”
He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
17 तर एलीशाले त्‍यो स्‍त्रीलाई भनेझैँ तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को वर्ष ठिक त्यही समयमा एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् ।
The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
18 बालक हुर्केपछि एक दिन त्यो आफ्नो बुबाकहाँ गयो जो कटनी गर्नेहरूसँगै थिए ।
When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 त्यसले आफ्नो बुबालाई भन्यो, “मेरो टाउको दुख्यो । मेरो टाउको दुख्‍यो । उसका बुबाले आफ्नो सेवकलाई भने, “त्यसलाई त्यसकी आमाकहाँ लिएर जाऊ ।”
He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 जब नोकरले केटोलाई उठाएर त्यसकी आमाकहाँ ल्यायो तब केटो मध्यान्हसम्म आमाको काखमा बस्यो, र त्यो मर्‍यो ।
When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
21 त्यसैले ती स्‍त्री उठिन्, र केटोलाई परमेश्‍वरका मानिसको ओछ्यानमा सुताइन्, ढोका बन्द गरेर बाहिर निस्किन् ।
She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
22 तिनले आफ्ना पतिलाई बोलाइन् र भनिन्, “कृपया, मलाई एक जना नोकर र एउटा गधा पठाउनुहोस् ताकि म छिटो परमेश्‍वरका मानिसकहाँ जान र फर्केर आउन सकूँ ।”
She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
23 तिनका पतिले भने, “किन तिमी आजै उहाँकहाँ जान चाहन्छ्यौ? आज न औँसी हो, न त शबाथ हो ।” उनले जवाफ दिइन्, “यो ठिक हुनेछ ।”
He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
24 त्यसपछि उनले गधामा काठी कसिन्, र आफ्नो सेवकलाई भनिन्, “छिटो कुदा । मैले नभनेसम्म दौडन ढिला नगर ।”
Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
25 त्यसैले तिनी गइन् र कर्मेल डाँडामा परमेश्‍वरका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा आइन् । जब परमेश्‍वरका मानिसले टाढैबाट तिनलाई देखे तिनले आफ्नो सेवक गेहजीलाई भने, “हेर्, शूनम्मी स्‍त्री आउँदैछिन् ।
So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
26 तिनलाई भेट्न दौडेर जा र तिनलाई सोध, 'तिमी, तिम्रा पति र छोरोलाई सबै ठिकै छ'?” तिनले भनिन्, “ठिकै छ ।”
Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
27 जब तिनी डाँडामा परमेश्‍वरका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा आइपुगिन् तब तिनले एलीशाको पाउ समातिन् । गेहजी तिनलाई हटाउनलाई अगाडि बढ्यो, तर परमेश्‍वरका मानिसले भने, “तिनलाई नछोऊ किनकि तिनी अत्यन्तै दुखी छिन्, र परमप्रभुले मबाट समस्या लुकाउनुभएको छ, र मलाई केही भन्‍नुभएको छैन ।”
When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28 तब तिनले भनिन्, “हे मेरा मालिक, मैले, तपाईंसँग छोरो मागेकी थिएँ र? मैले 'मलाई नछकाउनुहोस्' भनेकी थिइनँ र'?”
Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29 तब एलीशाले गेहजीलाई भने, “यात्राको लागि लुगा लगा, र तेरो हातमा मेरो लट्ठी समात् । तिनको घरमा जा । कुनै मानिसलाई भेटिस् भने अभिवादन नगर्, र कसैले तँलाई अभिवादन गर्‍यो भने जवाफ नदे । बालकको अनुहारमा मेरो लट्ठी राखिदे ।”
Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”
30 तर बालककी आमाले भनिन्, “परमप्रभु र तपाईंको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्छु, कि म तपाईंलाई छाड्दिनँ ।” त्यसैले एलीशा उठे, र तिनको पछि लागे ।
The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.
31 गेहजी तिनीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि गयो र बाललको अनुहारमा लट्ठी पसार्‍यो, तर बालकले बोलेन र सुनेन । त्यसैले गेहजी एलीशालाई भेट्न फर्क्यो र तिनलाई यसो भन्यो, “बालक ब्युँझेको छैन ।”
Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
32 जब एलीशा घरमा आइपुगे, तब बालक मरिसकेको थियो, र ओछ्यानमा शान्‍त थियो ।
When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
33 त्यसैले एलीशा भित्र गएर बालक र आफूलाई राखेर ढोका बन्द गरे, र परमप्रभुलाई प्रार्थना चढाए ।
He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD.
34 तिनी ओछ्यानमाथि चढे र बालकमाथि सुते । तिनले आफ्नो मुख उसको मुखमा, आफ्ना आँखा उसको आँखामा, र आफ्ना हात उसको हातमा राखे । तिनले आफैलाई बालकमाथि लमतन्‍न पारे, र बालकको शरीर न्यानो भयो ।
He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
35 तब एलीशा उठे, र कोठाको वरिपरि घुमे अनि तिनी फेरि ओछ्यानमा चढे र बालकमाथि लमतन्‍न परे । बालकले सात पटक छिउँ काड्‍यो र आफ्ना आँखा खोल्यो ।
Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36 त्यसैले एलीशाले गेहजीलाई बोलाए र भने, “शूनम्मीलाई बोला ।” त्यसले उनलाई बोलायो, र जब तिनी कोठाभित्र आइन्, तब एलीशाले भने, “तिम्रो छोरोलाई बोक ।”
He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
37 तब एलीशाको पाउमा तिनी भुइँसम्‍मै घोप्टो परिन्, अनि आफ्नो छोरोलाई उठाइन् र बाहिर गइन् ।
Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out.
38 तब एलीशा फेरि गिलगालमा आए । देशमा अनिकाल परेको थियो अनि अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरू तिनका सामु बसिरहेका थिए । तिनले आफ्नो सेवकलाई भने, “आगोमा ठुलो भाँडो बसाल र यी अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूका निम्ति जाउलो पका ।”
Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39 तिनीहरूमध्‍ये एक जना तरकारी खोज्न बारीमा गयो । त्यसले जङ्गली दाख भेट्टायो, र त्यसले जङ्गली लौका आफ्नो पोल्टाभरि जम्मा गर्‍यो । तिनीहरूले ती काटे र जाउलोमा हाले, तर ती कस्‍ता किसिमका थिए भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थिएन ।
One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.
40 मानिसहरूले खानलाई तिनीहरूले जाउलो खन्याए । पछि तिनीहरूले खाँदै गर्दा तिनीहरू चिच्‍च्याए र भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, भाँडामा त मृत्यु पो छ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो फेरि खान सकेनन् ।
So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
41 तर एलीशाले भने, “केही पिठो ल्याऊ ।” तिनले त्यसलाई भाँडोभित्र हाले र भने, “मानिसहरूलाई यो खान देऊ ताकि तिनीहरूले त्‍यो खानसकून् ।” तब त्‍यस भाँडोमा त्यस्तो हानिकारक कुनै कुरो बाँकी रहेन ।
But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
42 बाल-शलीशाको कोही एक जना मानिस परमेश्‍वरकका मानिसकहाँ आयो, र त्यसले अगौटे फलबाट तयार गरिएको जौँका बिसवटा रोटी र केही अन्‍नका ताजा बाला आफ्नो बोरामा लिएर आयो । त्यसले भन्यो, “यो मानिसहरूलाई दिनुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले खान सकून् ।”
A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
43 तिनको सेवकले भन्यो, “एक सय जना मानिसलाई मैले यसबाट कसरी भाग पुर्‍याउन सक्छु र?” तर एलीशाले भने, “यो मानिसहरूलाई ताकि तिनीहरूलेखान सकून्, किनकि परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तिनीहरूले खानेछन्, र केही बच्‍नेछ' ।”
His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
44 त्यसैले तिनको सेवकले त्यो तिनीहरूका सामु राखिदियो र तिनीहरूले खाए अनि परमप्रभुको वचनले प्रतिज्ञा गरेझैँ केही बच्‍यो ।
So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word.
