< २ राजाहरू 6 >

1 अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूले एलीशालाई भने, “जुन ठाउँमा हामी तपाईंसँग बस्छौँ, त्यो हामी सबैका लागि ज्‍यादै साँघुरो छ ।
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small 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 ।”
Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answered, “Go!”
3 तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जनाले भन्यो, “कृपा गरी आफ्ना दासहरूसँगै जानुहोस् ।” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “म जानेछु ।”
One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” 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. When they came to the 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 cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried out and said, “Alas, my 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 ।
The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
7 एलीशाले भने, “त्यसलाई समात ।” त्यसैले त्यस मानिसले आफ्नो हात पसार्‍यो र बञ्चरो समात्यो ।
He said, “Take it.” So 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 ।”
Now the king of Syria was at war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 त्यसैले परमेश्‍वरका मानिसले इस्राएलका राजाकहाँ यसो भनेर मानिसहरू पठाए, “त्योबाट ठाउँबाट नजानुहोस् किनकि अरामीहरू त्यहाँ तल झर्दैछन् ।”
The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.”
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 ।
The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or 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?”
The king of Syria’s heart was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Won’t you 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 ।”
One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
13 राजाले जवाफ दिए, “जाओ र एलीशा कहाँ छ हेर, ताकि मानिसहरू पठाएर म त्‍यसलाई समात्‍न सकूँ ।” तिनलाई यसो भनियो, “तिनी दोतानमा छन् ।”
He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” He was told, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
14 त्यसैले राजाले दोतानमा एउटा ठुलो सेनासँगै घोडाहरू र रथहरू पठाए । तिनीहरू रातमा आए र सहरलाई घेरा हाले ।
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.
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?”
When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “नडरा, किनकि तिनीहरूसित भएकाहरूभन्दा हामीसित भएकाहरू धेरै छन् ।”
He answered, “Don’t be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are 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!
Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, please open his eyes, that he may see.” the LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around 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 ।
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck them with blindness according to Elisha’s word.
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 ।
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.” 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 ।
When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” 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?”
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike 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 ।”
He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike 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, then 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 ।
He prepared a great feast for them. After they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.
24 यो घटनापछि अरामका राजा बेन-हददले आफ्ना सारा सेना जम्मा गरे र सामरियालाई आक्रमण गरे र त्‍यसलाई घेरा हाले ।
After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, 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 ।
There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab 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 ।”
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried 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?”
He said, “If the LORD doesn’t help you, where could I get help for you? From the threshing floor, or from 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' ।’
Then the king asked her, “What is your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
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 ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden 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 ।
When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his body.
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 to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today.”
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 was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn’t 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?”
While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
