२ राजाहरू 7

1 एलीशाले भने, “परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्‍नुहोस् । परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'भोलि यतिबेला सामरियाको मूल ढोकामा एक ग्राम चाँदीमा डेढ माना पिठो र एक ग्राम चाँदीमा तिन माना जौ बिक्री हुनेछ' ।”

And Elisaie said, Hear you the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord, As at this time, to-morrow a measure of fine flour [shall be sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gates of Samaria.

2 तब जुन अधिकारीको हातको भरमा राजा हिंड्थे तिनले परमेश्‍वरका मानिसलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्‍वरले स्वर्गमा झ्यालहरू बनाउनुभयो भने पनि यसो हुन सक्ला र?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “तिम्रा आफ्नै आँखाले यसो भएको तिमी देख्‍नेछौ, तर तिमीले यो खान पाउनेछैनौ ।”

And the officer on whose hand the king rested, answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord shall make flood-gates in heaven, might this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.

3 मूल ढोकाको ठिक बाहिर कुष्ठरोग लागेका चार जना मानिस थिए । तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “हामी नमरेसम्म हामी यहाँ किन बसिरहने?

And there were four leprous men by the gate of the city: and one said to his neighbor, Why sit we here until we die?

4 हामी सहरमा जाऔं भनौं भने, सहरमा अनिकाल परेको छ र हामी त्यहाँ मर्नेछौं । हामी यहीँ बसौँ भने पनि हामी मर्नेछौँ । अब हामी अरामीहरूका सेना भएको ठाउँमा जाऔँ । तिनीहरूले हामीलाई जिउँदै राखे भने हामी जिउनेछौँ, र तिनीहरूले हामीलाई मारे भने हामी मर्नेछौँ ।”

If we should say, Let us go into the city, then [there is] famine in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, then we shall die. Now then come, and let us fall upon the camp of the Syrians: if they should take us alive, then we shall live; and if they should put us to death, then we shall [only] die.

5 त्यसैले अरामी छाउनीभित्र जानलाई तिनीहरू साँझपख उठे । जब तिनीहरू छाउनीको बाहिरी भागमा आइपुगे, त्यहाँ कोही पनि थिएन ।

And they rose up while it was yet night, to go into the camp of Syria; and they came into a part of the camp of Syria, and behold, there [was] no man there.

6 किनकि परमप्रभुले अरामी सेनालाई रथहरू, घोडाहरूको होहल्‍लाजस्‍तै— अर्को ठुलो सेनाको होहल्‍ला सुन्‍ने पार्नुभएको थियो, अनि, अनि तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “इस्राएलका राजाले हित्तीहरू र मिश्रीहरूका राजाहरूलाई भाडामा लिएर हाम्रो विरुद्धमा आएका छन् ।”

For the Lord had made the army of Syria to hear a sound of chariots, and a sound of horses, [even] the sound of a great host: and [each] man said to his fellow, Now has the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Chettites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.

7 त्यसैले सिपाहीहरू उठे र साँझमा नै भागे । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पालहरू, घोडाहरू, गधाहरू र छाउनीलाई जस्ताको तस्तै छाडे र आफ्‍नो ज्यान बचाउन भागे ।

And they arose and fled while it was yet dark, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses in the camp, as they were, and fled for their lives.

8 जब कुष्‍टरोग लागेका मानिसहरू छाउनीको बाहिरी भागमा आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरू एउटा पालभित्र पसे र खानपान गरे अनि चाँदी, सुन र लुगाहरू उठाए र गएर ती लुकाए । तिनीहरू फर्केर आए र अर्को पालभित्र पसे र त्यहाँबाट पनि लुटका माल लगे र लुकाए ।

And these lepers entered a little way into the camp, and went into one tent, and ate and drank, and took thence silver, and gold, and raiment; and they went and returned thence, and entered into another tent, and took thence, and went and hid [the spoil].

9 तब तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “हामीले ठिक गरिरहेका छैनौँ । आजको दिन शुभ खबरको दिन हो, तर हामी यस बारेमा मौन बसिरहेका छौँ । बिहन नभएसम्म हामीले पर्ख्यौं भने हामीमाथि दण्ड आइपर्नेछ । तब हामी अब जाऔं र राजाको घरानालाई भनौं ।”

And [one] man said to his neighbor, We are not doing [well] thus: this day is a day of glad tidings, and we hold our peace, and are waiting till the morning light, and shall find mischief: now them come, and let us go into [the city], and report to the house of the king.

10 त्यसैले तिनीहरू गए र सहरका पालेहरूलाई बोलाए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई यसो भने, “हामी अरामीहरूका छाउनीमा गयौँ तर त्यहाँ कोही थिएन, कुनै मानिसको आवाज त्‍यहाँ सुनिएन, तर त्‍यहाँ घोडाहरू र गधाहरू बाँधिएका थिए अनि पालहरू जस्ताको तस्तै थिए ।”

So they went and cried toward the gate of the city, and reported to them, saying, We went into the camp of Syria, and, behold, there is not there a man, nor voice of man, only horses tied and asses, and their tents as they were.

11 तब पालेहरूले त्यो खबर ठुलो स्‍वरले फैलाए, अनि त्‍यसपछि भित्र राजाको घरानालाई पनि त्‍यो कुरा बताइयो ।

And the porters cried aloud, and reported to the house of the king within.

12 तब रातमा राजा उठे र आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “अब अरामीहरूले हामीलाई के गरेका छन् भनी म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍नेछु । हामी भोकाएका छौँ भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा छ । त्यसैले तिनीहरू छाउनीबाहिर खेतबारीमा लुक्‍न गएका छन् । तिनीहरू भन्दैछन्, 'जब तिनीहरू सहरबाहिर आउँछन्, तब हामी तिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै समात्‍ने छौँ, र सहरभित्र पस्‍नेछौँ’ ।”

And the king rose up by night, and said to his servants, I will now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They knew that we are hungry; and they have gone forth from the camp and hidden themselves in the field, saying, They will come out of the city, and we shall catch them alive, and go into the city.

13 राजाका एक जना सेवकले जवाफ दिए र भने, “केही मानिसहरूले सहरमा छाडिएका पाँचवटा घोडा लिएर जाऊन् । तिनीहरू इस्राएलका बाँकी जनसङ्ख्याजस्तै छन् अर्थात् अधिकांश मरिसकेका छन् । हामी तिनीहरूलाई पठाऊँ र हेरौँ।”

And one of his servants answered and said, Let them now take five of the horses that were left, which were left here; behold, they are the number left to all the multitude of Israel; and we will send there and see.

14 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले घोडाहरूसँगै दुईवटा रथ लिए र राजाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर अरामीहरूको सेनाको पछि पठाए, “जाओ र हेर ।”

So they took two horsemen; and the king of Israel sent after the king of Syria, saying, Go, and see.

15 तिनीहरू यर्दन नदीसम्मै तिनीहरूका पछि गए र अरामीहरूले हतारमा फालेका लुगा र सामनहरूले सबै बाटो भरिएका थिए । त्यसैले सन्देशवाहकहरू फर्के र राजालाई बताइदिए ।

And they went after them even to Jordan: and, behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their panic. and the messengers returned, and brought word to the king.

16 मानिसहरू बाहिर निस्के र अरामीहरूको छाउनी लुटे । त्यसैले जस्‍तो परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएको थियो त्‍यस्‍तै भयो, एक ग्राम चाँदीमा डेढ माना पिठो र एक ग्राम चाँदीमा तिन माना जौ बेचियो ।

And the people went out, and plundered the camp of Syria: and a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord, and two measures of barley for a shekel.

17 जसको हातमा भर परेर राजा हिंड्थे ती अधिकारीलाई तिनले मूल ढोका हेर्ने जिम्मा दिएका थिए र मानिसहरूले तिनलाई मूल ढोकामा कुल्चे । राजाले परमेश्‍वरका मानिसलाई तिनको घरमा भेट्न जाँदा तिनले अगमवाणी गरेजस्‍तै तिनको मृत्‍यु भयो ।

And the king appointed the officer on whose hand the king leaned [to have charge] over the gate: and the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God [had] said, who spoke when the messenger came down to him.

18 त्‍यसैले त्‍यस्‍तै भयो जास्‍तो परमेश्‍वरका मानिसले राजालाई यसो भनेका थिए, “यति बेलातिर सामरियाको मूल ढोकामा एक ग्राम चाँदीमा तिन माना जौ र एक ग्राम चाँदीमा डेढ माना पिठो पाइनेछ ।”

So it came to pass as Elisaie had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley [shall be sold] for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel; and it shall be as at this time to-morrow in the gate of Samaria.

19 ती अधिकारीले परमेश्‍वरका मानिसलाई जवाफ दिएका थिए, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्‍वरले स्वर्गमा झ्यालहरू बनाउनुभयो भने पनि यसो हुन सक्ला र?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिएका थिए, “तिम्रा आफ्नै आँखाले यसो भएको तिमी देख्‍नेछौ, तर तिमीले यो खान पाउनेछैनौ ।”

And the officer answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord makes flood-gates in heaven, shall this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see [it] with your eyes, but you shall not eat thereof.

20 तिनलाई ठिक त्यस्तै हुन आयो, किनकि मानिसहरूले तिनलाई मूल ढोकामा कुल्चे र तिनी मरे ।

And it was so: for the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died.
