< २ राजाहरू 1 >

1 आहाबको मृत्युपछि मोआब इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 तब अहज्याह सामरियामा माथिल्लो कोठाको झ्यालबाट तल खसे र घाइते भए । यसैले तिनले सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “जाओ र यस चोटबाट म निको हुन्छु कि हुन्‍न एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबलाई सोध ।”
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
3 तर परमप्रभुका दूतले तिश्बी एलियालाई भने, “उठ, र सामरियाका राजाका सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भेट्न जाऊ, अनि तिनीहरूलाई सोध, 'के इस्राएलमा कुनै परमेश्‍वर नभएको हुनाले तिमीहरू एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबसित सल्लाह लिन जाँदैछौ?
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
4 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, “तँ उक्‍लेको त्‍यो माथिको ओछ्यानबाट तँ तल आउनेछैनस् । बरु, तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्' ।” तब एलिया गए ।
Now therefore thus says the LORD, You shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.
5 जब सन्देशवाहकहरू अहज्याहकहाँ फर्के तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरू किन फर्केका छौ?”
And when the messengers turned back to him, he said to them, Why are you now turned back?
6 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “एक जना मानिस हामीलाई भेट्न आए जसले हामीलाई भने, 'तिमीहरूलाई पठाउने राजाकहाँ फर्के जाऊ र तिनलाई भन, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः 'के इस्राएलमा कुनै परमेश्‍वर नभएको हुनाले तिमीहरू एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबसित सल्लाह लिन जाँदैछौ? त्यसकारण तँ उक्‍लेको त्‍यो माथिको ओछ्यानबाट तँ तल आउनेछैनस् । बरु, तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्' ।”
And they said to him, There came a man up to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus says the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore you shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
7 अहज्याहले आफ्ना सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न आउने र यी कुराहरू भन्‍ने मानिस कस्‍तो किसिमको थियो?”
And he said to them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “तिनले रौँका लुगा लगाएका थिए, र आफ्नो कम्मरमा छालाको पेटी बाँधेका थिए ।” त्यसैले राजाले भने, “तिनी त तिश्बी एलिया हुन् ।”
And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 तब राजाले पचास जना सिपाहीसँगै एक जना कप्‍तानलाई एलियाकहाँ पठाए । कप्‍तान एलियाकहाँ गए जहाँ तिनी डाँडाको टाकुरामा बसिरहेका थिए । कप्‍तानले तिनलाई भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, राजाले भन्‍नुभएको छ, 'तल आउनुहोस्' ।”
Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spoke to him, You man of God, the king has said, Come down.
10 एलियाले कप्‍तानलाई भने, “म परमेश्‍वरका मानिस हुँ भने स्वर्गबाट आगो झरोस् र तपाईं र तपाईंका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पारोस् ।” तब स्वर्गबाट आगो झर्‍यो र तिनलाई र तिनका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पार्‍यो ।
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 फेरि राजा अहज्याहले अर्का कप्‍तानलाई पचास जना सिपाहीसहित एलियाकहाँ पठाए । यी कप्‍तानले पनि एलियालाई भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, राजा भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'झट्टै तल आउनुहोस्' ।”
Again also he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
12 एलियाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म परमेश्‍वरका मानिस हुँ भने स्वर्गबाट आगो झरोस् र तपाईं र तपाईंका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पारोस् ।” फेरि स्वर्गबाट परमेश्‍वरको आगो झर्‍यो र तिनलाई र तिनका पचास जना मानिसलाई भस्म पार्‍यो ।
And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 तथापि राजाले पचास जना योद्धाको तेस्रो समूह पठाए । यो कप्‍तान माथि उक्‍ले, एलियाको सामु आफ्‍ना घुँडा टेके र तिनले विनम्रतापूर्वक बिन्ती गरेर भने, “हे परमेश्‍वरका मानिस, म तपाईंसँग बिन्‍ति गर्छु, कि मेरो जीवन र तपाईंका यी पचास जना दासका जीवन तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा मूल्यवान् होऊन् ।
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and sought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray you, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
14 वास्तवमा स्वर्गबाट आगो झर्‍यो र यस अघिका दुई जना कप्‍तानलाई तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूसँगै भस्म पार्‍यो, तर मेरो जीवन तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा मूल्यवान् होस् ।”
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in your sight.
15 परमप्रभुका दूतले एलियालाई भने, “त्‍योसँगै तल जा । त्‍योदेखि नडरा ।” त्यसैले एलिया उठे र त्‍योसँगै राजाकहाँ गए ।
And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
16 पछि एलियाले अहज्याहलाई भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तैँले एक्रोनको देवता बाल-जिबबसित सल्लाह लिन सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएको छस् । जानकारी लिनको लागि इस्राएलमा कुनै परमेश्‍वर नभएको हुनाले त्‍यसो गरेको हो? यसैले तँ उक्‍लेको त्‍यो माथिको ओछ्यानबाट तँ तल आउनेछैनस् । तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्' ।”
And he said to him, Thus says the LORD, For as much as you have sent messengers to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore you shall not come down off that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
17 यसरी एलियाले बोलेको परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार अहज्याह मरे । अहज्याहको कुनै छोरो नभएको हुनाले यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातका छोरा यहोरामको दोस्रो वर्षमा योरामले तिनको ठाउँमा राज्य गर्न थाले ।
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 अहज्याहका सम्‍बन्‍धमा भएका अरू कुराहरूका बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
