२ राजाहरू 9
1 अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई एलीशा अगमवक्ताले बोलाए र तिनलाई भने, “यात्राको लागि लुगा लगाऊ, अनि तिम्रो हातमा तेलको यो सानो भाँडो लेऊ र रामोत-गिलादमा जाऊ ।
Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
2 तिमी पुगेपछि निम्शीका नाति, यहोशापातका छोरा येहूलाई खोज, अनि भित्र जाऊ र तिनका साथीहरूका बिचबाट तिनलाई उठाऊ र भित्री कोठामा लैजाऊ ।
When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
3 त्यसपछि तेलको भाँडो लेऊ र यो तिनको शिरमा खन्याऊ, र भन, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः “मैले तँलाई इस्राएलको राजा अभिषेक गरेको छु ।” तब ढोका खोल, र दौड । ढिलो नगर ।”
and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
4 त्यसैले ती जवान मानिस, जवान अगमवक्ता रामोत-गिलादमा गए ।
So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
5 तिनी आइपुग्दा सेनापतिहरू बसिरहेका थिए । त्यसैले जवान अगमवक्ताले भने, “हे कप्तान, तपाईंलाई एउटा सन्देश लिएर आएको छु ।” येहूले भने, “हामीमध्ये कसलाई?” जवान अगमवक्ताले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंलाई कप्तान ।”
When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
6 त्यसैले येहू उठेर घरभित्र गए र ती अगमवक्ताले येहूको शिरमाथि तेल खन्याए, र तिनलाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले तँलाई इस्राएलमाथि अर्थात् परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरेको छु ।
So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
7 तैँले आफ्नो मालिक आहाबको घरानालाई मार्नुपर्छ, यसरी ईजेबेलको हातद्वारा मारिएका परमप्रभुका सबै सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूका रगत र मेरा सेवकहरूका रगतको बदला मैले लिन सक्छु ।
You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
8 किनकि आहाबको पुरै घराना नष्ट हुनेछ, र म आहाबको घरानाबाट कमारा होस् वा फुक्का हरेक पुरुषलाई निमिट्ट्यान्न पार्नेछु ।
You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
9 म आहाबको घरानालाई नबातका छोरा यारोबामको घराना र अहज्याहका छोरा बाशाको घरानाजस्तै तुल्याउनेछु ।
I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
10 ईजेबेललाई यिजरेलमा कुकुरहरूले खानेछन्, र त्यसलाई गाड्ने कोही हुनेछैन' ।” तब अगमवक्ताले ढोका खोले र भागे ।
And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
11 तब येहू आफ्ना मालिकका सेवकहरूकहाँ आए र एक जनाले तिनलाई सोधे, “के सबै कुरा ठिकै छ? यो पागल मान्छे किन तपाईंकहाँ आएको?” येहूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरू यी मानिस र तिनले कस्ता किसिमका कुरा भन्छन् भनेर तिमीहरू जान्दछौ ।”
When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
12 तिनीहरूले भने, “त्यो कुरा झुट हो । हामीलाई भन्नुहोस् ।” येहूले भने, “तिनले मलाई यी भने अनि यसो पनि भने, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मैले तँलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरेको छु' ।”
They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
13 तब तिनीहरूले तुरुन्तै आ-आफ्ना बाहिरी वस्त्र उतारे र येहू हिंड्ने खुड्किलामा ओछ्याए । तिनीहरूले तुरही फुके र भने, “येहू राजा हुनुहुन्छ ।”
Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
14 यसरी निम्शीका नाति, यहोशापातका छोरा येहूले योरामको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र रचे । अब योराम र सारा इस्राएलले अरामका राजा हजाएलको कारणले रामोत-गिलादलाई रक्षा गरिरहेका थिए,
King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
15 तर अरामका राजा हजाएलको विरुद्धमा लड्दा राजा योरामलाई अरामीहरूले घाइते बनाएका हुनाले तिनी निको हुन यिजरेलमा फर्केका थिए । येहूले योरामका सेवकहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूको राय यस्तै छ भने यिजरेलमा गएर यो समाचार बताउनलाई कोही पनि भागेर सहरबाहिर जान नपाओस् ।”
16 त्यसैले येहू रथमा चढी यिजरेल गए । किनकि योरामले त्यहीँ विश्राम गर्दै थिए । त्यस बेला यहूदाका राजा अहज्याह योरामलाई भेट्न तल झरेका थिए ।
Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
17 यिजरेलको धरहरामा पहरेदार खडा थियो, र त्यसले येहूका फौज आइरहेको टाढैबाट देख्यो । त्यसले भन्यो, “मानिसहरूको एउटा समूह आइरहेको मैले देख्दछु ।” योरामले भने, “एक जना घोडचढीलाई तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न पठा । त्यसलाई यसो भन्न लगा, 'के तपाईंहरू मित्रभावले आउनुभएको हो'?”
A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
18 त्यसैले येहूलाई भेट्न एक जना मानिस घोडामा चढेर गयो । त्यसले भन्यो, “राजा यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'के तपाईंहरू मित्रभावले आउनुभएको हो'?” येहूले भने, “मित्रभावसित तँलाई केको सरोकार? फर्केर मेरो पछि लाग् ।” तब पहरेदारले राजालाई भन्यो, “सन्देशवाहकले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्यो, तर त्यो फर्केर आएन ।”
So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
19 तब तिनले घोडामा अर्को मानिसलाई पठाए । त्यो तिनीहरूकहाँ आएर भन्यो, “राजा यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'के तपाईंहरू मित्रभावले आउनुभएको हो'?” येहूले भने, “मित्रभावसित तँलाई केको सरोकार? फर्केर मेरो पछि लाग् ।”
So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
20 फेरि पहरेदारले भन्यो, “त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई भेटेको छ, तर त्यो फर्केर आएन । किनकि जुन तरिकाले रथ हाँकिएको छ त्यो त निम्शीका छोरा येहूले हाँकेजस्तै छ । तिनले बौलाहाले जस्तै हाँक्दैछन् ।”
Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
21 त्यसैले योरामले भने, “मेरो रथ तयार पार ।” तिनीहरूले तिनको रथ तयार पारे, र इस्राएलका राजा योराम र यहूदाका राजा अहज्याह आ-आफ्नै रथमा चढेर येहूलाई भेट्न बाहिर निस्के । तिनीहरूले यिजरेली नाबोतको जग्गामा तिनलाई भेटे ।
Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
22 योरामले येहूलाई देखेपछि तिनले भने, “येहू, के तिमी मित्रभावले आएको हो?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “तिम्री आमा ईजेबेलका यति धेरै मूर्तिपूजा र वेश्यावृत्ति हुँदाहुँदै पनि कसरी मित्रभाव हुन्छ?”
When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
23 त्यसैले योरामले आफ्नो रथ घुमाए र अहज्याहलाई यसो भनेर भागे, “अहज्याह, धोका भएछ ।”
Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
24 तब येहूले आफ्नो धनु निकाले र पुरा शक्ति लगाएर योरामका काँधहरूका बिचैमा तिनलाई हाने । काँडले तिनको मुटुलाई नै छेड्यो, र तिनी आफ्नो रथमा लडे ।
But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
25 तब येहूले आफ्ना सेनापति बिदकारलाई भने, “तिनलाई उठाऊ र यिजरेली नाबोतको खेतमा फालिदेऊ । तिनका पिता आहाबको पछि रथमा तिमी र म जाँदा परमप्रभुले तिनको विरुद्धमा भन्नुभएको यो अगमवाणीको बारेमा वोचार गरः
Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
26 'परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ— हिजो मैले नाबोतको रगत र त्यसका छोराहरूको रगत देखेँ, र परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, निश्चय नै म यही खेतमा त्यसको बदला लिनेछु ।' अब परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार तिनलाई उठाऊ र यही खेतमा फालिदेऊ ।”
‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
27 जब यहूदाका राजा अहज्याहले यो देखे, तिनी बेथ-हागान जाने बाटोतिर भागे । तर येहूले तिनलाई पछ्याए, र भने, “तिनलाई पनि रथमा मार ।” तिनीहरूले तिनलाई यिबलामनेर गूरको उकालो जाने बाटोमा प्रहार गरे । अहज्याह मगिद्दोमा भागे, र त्यहीँ मरे ।
When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
28 तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनको लाशलाई रथमा राखेर यरूशलेम ल्याए, र दाऊदको सहरमा तिनका पर्खाहरूसित तिनकै चिहानमा गाडे ।
His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
29 आहाबका छोरा योरामको एघारौँ वर्षमा अहज्याहले यहूदामाथि राज्य सुरु गरेका थिए ।
Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
30 येहू यिजरेलमा आएको कुरा ईजेबेलले सुनिन्, र तिनले आफ्ना आँखामा गाजल लगाइन्, कपाल बाटिन् र झ्यालबाट हेरिन् ।
Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
31 येहू मूल ढोकामा भित्र आउँदै गर्दा तिनले उनलाई भनिन्, “ए आफ्ना मालिकका हत्यारा जिम्री, के तिमी मित्रभावले आएका हौ?”
While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
32 येहूले माथि झ्यालमा हेरे र भने, “मेरो पक्ष लिने को छ? को छ?” तब दुई वा तिन जना नपुंसकले बाहिर हेरे ।
Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
33 येहूले भने, “तिनलाई तल फालिदेओ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले ईजेबेललाई तल फालिदिए, र तिनका केही रगत उछिट्टिएर भित्तामा र घोडाहरूमा परे, अनि येहूले तिनलाई खट्टाले कुल्चिदिए ।
Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
34 जब येहू दरबारभित्र पसे, तब तिनले खानपान गरे । तब तिनले भने, “अब त्यो श्रापित स्त्रीलाई हेर र त्यसलाई गाडिदेओ, किनकि त्यो राजाकी छोरी थिई ।”
Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
35 तिनलाई गाड्न तिनीहरू गए तर तिनीहरूले तिनको खप्पर, खुट्टा र हत्केलाबाहेक केही भेट्टाएनन् ।
But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
36 त्यसैले तिनीहरू आएर येहूलाई बताए । तिनले भने, “आफ्ना सेवक तिश्बी एलियाद्वारा परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको वचन यही हो, 'यिजरेलको जमिनमा कुकुरहरूले ईजेबेलको मासु खानेछन्,
When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
37 र ईजेबेलको लाश यिजरेलका खेतहरूमा मलझैँ हुनेछ ताकि कसैले यस्तो भन्न नसकोस्, 'यो ईजेबेल हो' ।”
Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
