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' ।”

Then said Elisha—Hear ye the word of Yahweh, —Thus, saith Yahweh—About this time to-morrow, a measure of fine meal for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate 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 ।”

Then the officer on whose hand the king leaned responded to the man of God, and said, Even if Yahweh were making windows in the heavens, could this thing, come to pass? And he said—Lo! thou, art about to see it with thine own eyes, but, thereof, shalt thou not eat!

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

Now there were, four men, lepers, at the entrance of the gate, —and they said one to another—Why are, we, sitting here until we are dead?

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 say—Let us enter into the city, Then, the famine, is in the city, and we shall die there, and, if we remain here, then shall we die. Now, therefore, let us fall away unto the camp of the Syrians, if they save us alive, we shall live, and, if they put us to death, we shall die.

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

So they rose up in the twilight, to enter into the camp of the Syrians, —and, when they entered the outskirts of the camp of the Syrians, lo! there was not there, a man.

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 ।”

Now, the Lord, had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, noise of horses, a noise of a great host, —and they said one to another—Lo! the king of Israel hath hired against us—the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, 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 ।

So they arose, and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, —the camp, just as it was, —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 ।

When, therefore, these lepers came in as far as the outskirts of the camp, they entered into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried from thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went away and hid them, —and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried from thence—and went and hid them.

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 ।”

Then said they one to another—Not a right thing, are, we, doing. This day, is, a day of good tidings, and, we, are holding our peace, if we tarry until the light of the morning, there will come upon us, some misfortune, —Now, therefore, come and let us go in, and tell the household 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 came in and called unto the gate of the city, and told them, saying, We entered into the camp of the Syrians, and lo! there was not there, a man, nor sound of human being, —only horses tied, and asses tied, and their tents, just as they were!

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

And the watchers of the gate called and told it to the household 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’ ।”

Then arose the king by night, and said unto his servants, Let me tell you, I pray you, what the Syrians have done to us, —they knew that we were, famished, so they have gone forth out of the camp, to hide in the field, saying, When they come forth out of the city, then shall we take them alive, and, into the city, will we enter.

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।”

Then responded one of his servants, and said—Let there be taken, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which have been left therein, there they are, according to all the multitude of Israel who have been left therein, there they are, according to all the multitude of Israel, who have been consumed, —and let us send 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 chariots and horses, —and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, 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 followed them as far as the Jordan, and lo! all the way, was full of garments, and utensils, which the Syrians had cast away in their fright, —and the messengers returned, and told 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 ।

Then went the people forth and spoiled the camp of the Syrians, —and so there came to be—a measure of fine meal for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Yahweh.

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 ।

Now, the king, had set the officer on whose hand he leaned, in charge over the gate, and the people trode upon him in the gate, that he died, —as spake the man of God, who said it 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 ।”

Yea it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken unto the messenger, saying, —Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine meal for a shekel, shall there be about 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 when the officer responded to the man of God, and said, Lo! then, if Yahweh were making windows in the heavens, could it be according to this word? And he said, —Lo! thou art about to see it with thine own eyes, but, thereof, shalt thou not eat.

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

Yea it fell out to him, thus, —and the people trode upon him in the gate, that he died.
