२ राजाहरू 1
1 आहाबको मृत्युपछि मोआब इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा बागी भयो ।
After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
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 ।”
One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
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 an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
4 त्यसकारण परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “तँ उक्लेको त्यो माथिको ओछ्यानबाट तँ तल आउनेछैनस् । बरु, तँ निश्चय नै मर्नेछस्' ।” तब एलिया गए ।
Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
5 जब सन्देशवाहकहरू अहज्याहकहाँ फर्के तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरू किन फर्केका छौ?”
[So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
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' ।”
They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
7 अहज्याहले आफ्ना सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न आउने र यी कुराहरू भन्ने मानिस कस्तो किसिमको थियो?”
The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
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 ।”
They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
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 an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
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 ।
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
11 फेरि राजा अहज्याहले अर्का कप्तानलाई पचास जना सिपाहीसहित एलियाकहाँ पठाए । यी कप्तानले पनि एलियालाई भने, “हे परमेश्वरका मानिस, राजा भन्नुहुन्छ, 'झट्टै तल आउनुहोस्' ।”
[When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
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 ।
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
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 ।
[When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
14 वास्तवमा स्वर्गबाट आगो झर्यो र यस अघिका दुई जना कप्तानलाई तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूसँगै भस्म पार्यो, तर मेरो जीवन तपाईंको दृष्टिमा मूल्यवान् होस् ।”
[We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
15 परमप्रभुका दूतले एलियालाई भने, “त्योसँगै तल जा । त्योदेखि नडरा ।” त्यसैले एलिया उठे र त्योसँगै राजाकहाँ गए ।
Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them 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' ।”
[When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to 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 Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
18 अहज्याहका सम्बन्धमा भएका अरू कुराहरूका बारेमा इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
[If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
