< २ राजाहरू 6 >

1 अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूले एलीशालाई भने, “जुन ठाउँमा हामी तपाईंसँग बस्छौँ, त्यो हामी सबैका लागि ज्‍यादै साँघुरो छ ।
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with you is too strait for us.
2 कृपा गरी हामी यर्दनमा जान र त्यहाँ हरेक मानिसले एउटा रुख काट्न अनि त्यहाँ एउटा ठाउँ बनाउने अनुमति हामीलाई दिनुहोस् जहाँ हामी बस्‍न सक्‍छौं ।” एलीशाले भने, “यस काममा तिमीहरू अगि बढ ।”
Let us go, we pray you, to Jordan, and take there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go you.
3 तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जनाले भन्यो, “कृपा गरी आफ्ना दासहरूसँगै जानुहोस् ।” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “म जानेछु ।”
And one said, Be content, I pray you, and go with your servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 त्यसैले तिनीहरूसँगै तिनी गए र जब तिनीहरू यर्दनमा आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले रुखहरू काट्न सुरु गरे ।
So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 तर एक जनाले काटिरहँदा बञ्चरोको टाउको पानीमा खस्यो । त्यसले चिच्‍च्याएर भन्यो, “हे मेरा मालिक, यो त मागेर ल्‍याएको थियो!”
But as one was felling a beam, the ax head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6 त्यसैले परमेश्‍वरका मानिसले भने, “त्‍यो कहाँ खस्यो?” त्यस मानिसले एलीशालाई त्यो ठाउँ देखायो । तब तिनले एउटा लट्ठी काटे, त्यसलाई पानीमा फाले र फलाम पनि तैरियो ।
And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 एलीशाले भने, “त्यसलाई समात ।” त्यसैले त्यस मानिसले आफ्नो हात पसार्‍यो र बञ्चरो समात्यो ।
Therefore said he, Take it up to you. And he put out his hand, and took it.
8 अब अरामका राजाले इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरिरिहेका थिए । तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूसित यसो भनेर सल्लाह लिए, “मेरो छाउनी यस्तो-यस्तो ठाउँमा हुनेछ ।”
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 त्यसैले परमेश्‍वरका मानिसले इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ यसो भनेर मानिसहरू पठाए, “त्योबाट ठाउँबाट नजानुहोस् किनकि अरामीहरू त्यहाँ तल झर्दैछन् ।”
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
10 इस्राएलका राजाले त्यस ठाउँमा एउटा समाचार पठाए जसको विषयमा परमेश्‍वरका मानिसले बोलेका र चेताउनी दिएका थिए । एक वा दुई पटकभन्दा बढी राजा त्यहाँ जाँदा तिनी सावधान भए ।
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 यी चेताउनीहरूका बारेमा अरामका राजा क्रोधित तुल्याइए, र तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हाम्रा माझमा भएकाहरूमध्ये कसले इस्राएका राजालाई समर्थन गर्छ त्‍यो तिमीहरू मलाई भन्दैनौँ?”
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 त्यसैले तिनका एक जना सेवकले भने, “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, हामीले गर्दैनौँ किनकि इस्राएलमा भएका एलीशा अगमवक्ताले तपाईंले आफ्नो सुत्‍ने कोठामा बोल्नुभएका कुरासमेत इस्राएलका राजालाई भनिदिन्छन् ।”
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.
13 राजाले जवाफ दिए, “जाओ र एलीशा कहाँ छ हेर, ताकि मानिसहरू पठाएर म त्‍यसलाई समात्‍न सकूँ ।” तिनलाई यसो भनियो, “तिनी दोतानमा छन् ।”
And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 त्यसैले राजाले दोतानमा एउटा ठुलो सेनासँगै घोडाहरू र रथहरू पठाए । तिनीहरू रातमा आए र सहरलाई घेरा हाले ।
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 जब परमेश्‍वरका मानिसको नोकर सबेरै उठ्‍यो र बाहिर गयो, हेर, एउटा ठुलो सेनाले घोडाहरू र रथहरू लिएर सहरलाई घेरेको थियो । तिनको सेवकले तिनलाई भन्यो, “ओहो! मेरा मालिक, हामी के गरौँ?”
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “नडरा, किनकि तिनीहरूसित भएकाहरूभन्दा हामीसित भएकाहरू धेरै छन् ।”
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 एलीशाले प्रार्थना गरे, “हे परमप्रभु, यसका आँखा खोलिदिनुहोस् ताकि यसले देख्‍न सकोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्छु।” तब परमप्रभुले त्यस सेवकका आँखा खोल्‍नुभयो, र त्यसले देख्यो । हेर, एलीशाको वरिपरि डाँडामा अग्‍निमय घोडाहरू र रथहरूले भरिएको थियो!
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray you, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 जब अरामीहरू तल ओर्ली एलीशाकहाँ आए, तिनले परमप्रभुमा प्रार्थना गरे र भने, “यी मानिसहरूलाई अन्धा तुल्याउनुहोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्छु ।” त्यसैले एलीशाले बिन्ती गरेझैँ परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई अन्धा तुल्याउनुभयो ।
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray you, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 तब एलीशाले अरामीहरूलाई भने, “यो बाटो होइन, न त यो सहर नै हो । मेरो पछि लाग र तिमीहरूले खोजिरहेका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा म तिमीहरूलाई लानेछु ।” तब तिनीहरूलाई तिनले सामरिया लगे ।
And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. But he led them to Samaria.
20 जब तिनीहरू सामरिया आइपुगे, तब एलीशाले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, यी मानिसहरूका आँखा खोल्‍नुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले देखून् ।” परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका आँखा खोल्‍नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूले देखे अनि हेर, तिनीहरू त सामरिया सहरको बिचमा पो रहेछन् ।
And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.
21 जब इस्राएलका राजाले तिनीहरूलाई देखे, तब तिनले एलीशालाई भने, “हे मेरा पिता, के म तिनीहरूलाई मारौं? के म तिनीहरूलाई मारौं?”
And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
22 एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नुहुँदैन । के तपाईंले आफ्नै तरवार र धनुले कैद गरेका मानिहरूलाई मार्नुहुन्थ्यो र? तिनीहरूका सामु भोजन र पानी दिनुहोस्, ताकि तिनीहरूले खाऊन् र पिऊन् अनि आफ्ना मालिककहाँ जाऊन् ।”
And he answered, You shall not smite them: would you smite those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 त्यसैले राजाले तिनीहरूका लागि प्रशस्त भोजन तयार गरे, अनि जब तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए तब तिनीहरूलाई तिनले पठाइदिए र यसरी तिनीहरू आफ्ना मालिककहाँ फर्केर गए । अरामी सिपाहीका ती दलहरू लामो समयसम्म इस्राएल देशमा फर्केनन् ।
And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 यो घटनापछि अरामका राजा बेन-हददले आफ्ना सारा सेना जम्मा गरे र सामरियालाई आक्रमण गरे र त्‍यसलाई घेरा हाले ।
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 त्यसैले सामरियामा ठुलो अनिकाल पर्‍यो । तिनीहरूले यति लामो समयसम्म घेरा हाले, जसले गर्दा गधाको एउटा टाउलाई एक किलो चाँदी र एक मुट्ठी दाललाई पचपन्‍न ग्राम चाँदीमा बिक्री गरियो ।
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
26 जब इस्राएलका राजा पर्खालमा हिंड्दै थिए, तब एउटी स्‍त्रीले रुँदै तिनलाई भनी, “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, मलाई मदत गर्नुहोस् ।”
And as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, there cried a woman to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 तिनले भने, “परमप्रभुले नै तिमीलाई मदत गर्नुहुन्‍न भने म कसरी तिमीलाई मदत गर्न सक्छु र? खलो वा दाखको कोलबाट कुनै कुरो आउँदैछ र?”
And he said, If the LORD do not help you, from where shall I help you? out of the barn floor, or out of the wine press?
28 राजाले निरन्‍रतर बोले, “तिमीलाई के कुराले कष्‍ट दिंदैछ?” त्यसले जवाफ दिई, “यो स्‍त्रीले मलाई भनी, ‘तिम्रो छोरो देऊ ताकि त्‍यसलाई हामी आज खाऊँ र हामी भोली मेरो छोरो खानेछौँ' ।’
And the king said to her, What ails you? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give your son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
29 त्यसैले हामीले मेरो छोरोलाई उसिन्‍यौं र त्‍यसलाई खायौँ, अनि अर्को दिन मैले त्यसलाई भनेँ, ‘तिम्रो छोरो देऊ ताकि त्‍यसलाई हामी खाऊँ,’ तर त्यसले आफ्नो छोरो लुकाएकी छे ।”
So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said to her on the next day, Give your son, that we may eat him: and she has hid her son.
30 जब राजाले त्‍यो स्‍त्रीको कुरा सुने, तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते (यति बेला तिनी पर्खालमा हिंडिरहेका थिए), र मानिसहरूले हेरे अनि तिनले कम्‍मरमा भाङ्ग्रा मात्र लगाएको देखे ।
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by on the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within on his flesh.
31 तब तिनले भने, “आज शाफातका छोरा एलीशाको शिर बाँकी रह्‍यो भने परमेश्‍वरले मलाई पनि यसै र अनि त्योभन्दा बढी गरून् ।”
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
32 तर एलीशा आफ्नो घरमा बसिरहेका थिए र धर्म-गुरुहरू तिनीसँगै बसिरहेका थिए । राजाले आफ्‍नो अघि एक जना मानिसलाई पठाए तर त्‍यो सन्देशवाहक एलीशाकहाँ आइपुग्‍नु अघि तिनले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, त्‍यो हत्याराको छोरोले मेरो शिर काट्नलाई कसैलाई पठाएको छ । जब सन्देशवाहक आइपुग्छ तब ढोका थुन्‍नुहोस् र त्यसले ठेल्‍दा थामिराख्‍नुहोस् । के त्यसको पछाडि त्‍यसको मालिकको पाइलाको आवाज आएको छैन र?”
But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See you how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?
33 तिनीहरूसित तिनले बोल्‍दाबोल्‍दै सन्देशवाहक तिनीकहाँ आयो । राजाले भनेका थिए, “परमप्रभुबाट नै यो समस्‍या आउँछ । अब फेरि मैले किन परमप्रभुको प्रतीक्षा गरिरहने?”
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
