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' ।”

Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs 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 captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”

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 leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit 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 say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”

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

They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was 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 the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”

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

Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

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 these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, 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 they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”

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 and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”

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

Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household 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’ ।”

The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get 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।”

One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”

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

Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, 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 ।

They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. 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 ।

The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word.

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 ।

The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king 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 ।”

It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time 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 that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”

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

It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
