2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
यहूदाका राजा आहाजको बाह्रौं वर्षमा एलाहका छोरा होशियाले राज्य सुरु गरे । तिनले सामरियामा बसेर इस्राएलमाथि नौ वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो तिनले त्यही गरे, तापनि तिनीभन्दा अगिका इस्राएलका राजाहरूले जस्तै भने होइन ।
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him tribute.
अश्शूरका राजा शलमनेशेरले होशियालाई आक्रमण गरे र उनी तिनका सेवक बने र तिनलाई कर तिरे ।
4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
त्यसपछि आफ्नो विरुद्धमा होशियाले षड्यन्त्र गरेका कुराको जानकरी अश्शूरका राजाले थाहा पाए, किनकि होशियाले मिश्रका राजा सोकहाँ सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएका थिए । साथै, तिनले अश्शूरका राजालाई वर्षैपिच्छे तिर्दै आएको कर पनि तिरेनन् । त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजाले तिनलाई बन्दी बनाए र झ्यालखानामा थुनेर राखे ।
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
तब अश्शूरका राजाले देशैभरि आक्रमण गरे, र सामरियामाथि आक्रमण गरे र यसलाई तिन वर्षसम्म घेराबन्दी गरे ।
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
होशियाको नवौँ वर्षमा अश्शूरका राजाले सामरियालाई कब्जा गरे र इस्राएलीहरूलाई अश्शूरमा लगे । तिनीहरूलाई गोजानको हाबोर नदीको किनारको हलहमा र मादीहरूका सहरहरूमा तिनले बसाले ।
7 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
इस्राएलीहरूले आफूलाई मिश्रदेशका राजा फारोको हातबाट छुटाउनुहुने, तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका हुनाले यसरी तिनीहरू बन्दी भए । यी मानिसहरूले अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गरिरहेका थिए,
8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामुबाट परमप्रभुले धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका अभ्यासहरू तथा इस्राएलका राजाहरूका अभ्यासहरू गरिरहेका थिए ।
9 And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा जे कुराहरू गर्नु ठिक थिएन, गुप्त रूपमा त्यही गरे । धरहरादेखि किल्लासम्म नै आफ्ना सबै सहरहरूमा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति उच्च थानहरू बनाए ।
10 And they set up for themselves images and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree:
हरेक उच्च डाँडा रहरेक हरियो रुखमुनि तिनीहरूले डुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरू र अशेराका खम्बाहरू बनाए ।
11 And there they burnt incense on all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
तिनीहरूका सामुबाट परमप्रभुले धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूले गरेजस्तै तिनीहरूले उच्च थानहरूमा धूप बाले । परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाउनलाई इस्राएलीहरूले दुष्ट कुराहरू गरे,
12 For they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
तिनीहरूले मूर्तिहरूको पुजा गरे, जसका बारेमा परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभएको थियो, “तिमीहरूले यो कुरा गर्ने छैनौ ।”
13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
तापनि परमप्रभुले हरेक अगमवक्ता र हरेक दर्शीद्वारा इस्राएल र यहूदालाई यसो भनरे चेताउनी दिनुभएको थियो, “आ-आफ्ना दुष्ट मार्गहरूबाट फर्केर मेरा आज्ञाहरू र विधिहरू पालन गर, अनि मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका अनि आफ्ना सेवकहरू अर्थात् अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा मैले तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएका सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न सावधना होओ ।”
14 However they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । बरु परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरमाथि विश्वास नगर्ने आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूजस्तै तिनीहरू ज्यादै हठी भए ।
15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
तिनीहरूले उहाँका विधिहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित उहाँले बाँध्नुभएको करार र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएका करारका आज्ञाहरूलाई इन्कार गरे । तिनीहरूले बेकम्मा अभ्यासहरूको अनुसरण गरे अनि तिनीहरू आफै पनि बेकम्मा भए । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो वरिपरि भएका अरू जातिहरूको अनुसरण गरे जसको नकल्ल नगर्नू भनेर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो ।
16 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका सबै आज्ञालाई बेवास्ता गरे । तिनीहरूले पुजा गर्नलाई पिटेर तयार पारिएका धातुको दुईवटा बाछाका बनाए । तिनीहरूले अशेरा देवीको खम्बा बनाए, र तिनीहरूले आकाशका सम्पूर्ण तारा र बालको पुजा गरे ।
17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
तिनीहरूले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोमा हिंड्न लगाए, तिनीहरूले जोखना हेर र टुनामुना गरे, तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ, त्यही गर्न आफैलाई बेचे, र तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई रिस उठाए ।
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
त्यसकारण परमप्रभु इस्राएलसित अत्यन्तै रिसाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट हटाइदिनुभयो । त्यहाँ यहूदाको कुलबाहेक कोही पनि छोडिएन ।
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
यहूदाले पनि परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन्, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएलले गरेका अभ्यासहरूको अनुसरण गरे ।
20 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
यसैले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सबै सन्तानलाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई कष्ट दिनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट नफल्नुभएसम्म उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई लुटको मालको रूपमा अधिकार गर्नेहरूको हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
21 For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
उहाँले इस्राएललाई दाऊदको राजकीय वंशबाट अलग गर्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूले नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई राजा बनाए । यारोबामले इस्राएललाई परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्नबाट बहकाए र तिनीहरूलाई ठुलो पाप गर्न लगाए ।
22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यारोबामका सबै पापको अनुसरण गरे र तिनीहरू ती कुराबाट फर्केनन्,
23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
त्यसैले परमप्रभुले आफ्ना सबै सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा आफूले गर्छु भन्नुभएझैँ इस्राएललाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट हटाउनुभयो । यसरी तिनीहरूको आफ्नै देशबाट इस्राएललाई अश्शूरमा बन्दी बनाएर लगियो, र आजको दिनसम्म पनि त्यस्तै भएको छ ।
24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
अश्शूरका राजाले बेबिलोनबाट र कूताबाट र अव्वाबाट हमात र सपर्बेमबाट मानिसहरू ल्याए र इस्राएलका मनिसहरूको साटोमा तिनीहरूलाई सामरियाका सहरहरूमा बसाले । तिनीहरूले सामरिया कब्जा गरे र यसका सहरहरूमा बसे ।
25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
तिनीहरूले बसोबाससुरु गर्दा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई आदर गरेनन् । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका बिचमा सिंहहरू पठाउनुभयो जसलेतिनीहरूमा कसैलाई मारे ।
26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले अश्शूरका राजालाई यसो भने, “तपाईंले बन्दी बनाएर लैजानुभएका जातिहरू र सामरियाका सहरहरूमा बसोबास गरेका मानिसहरूले यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरूका जान्दैनन् । त्यसैले उहाँले तिनीहरूका बिचमा सिंहहरू पठाउनुभएको छ, र सिंहहरूले यहाँ मानिसहरूलाई मर्दैछन् किनकि तिनीहरूले यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरू जान्दैनन् ।”
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Take there one of the priests whom ye brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
तब अश्शूरका राजाले यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले त्यहाँबाट ल्याएका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एउटालाई लिएर जाओ । तिनी गएर त्यहीँ बसून्, र तिनले त्यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरू मानिसहरूलाई सिकाऊन् ।”
28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले सामरियाबाट बन्दी बनाएर लगेका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एक जना आए र बेथेलमा बसे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई कसरी आदर गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सिकाए ।
29 Yet every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt.
हरेक जातिले आ-आफ्ना देवताहरू बनाए, अनि सामरीहरूले बनाएका उच्च थानहरूमा तिनलाई राखे । आफू बसोबास गर्ने ठाउँमा हरेक जातिले त्यसै गरे ।
30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
बेबिलोनका मानिसहरूले सुक्कोन-बनोत बनाए, कूताका मानिसहरूले नेर्गल बनाए, हमातका मानिसहरूले अशीमा बनाए,
31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
अव्वीहरूले नेभज र तर्ताक बनाए । सपर्बेमीहरूले आफ्ना देवता अद्रम्मलेक र अनम्मलेकका निम्ति आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोमा जलाए ।
32 So they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको पनि आदर गरे, र तिनीहरूका बिचबाट उच्च थानहरूमा पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे, जसले उच्च स्थानमा निर्मित मन्दिरहरूमा आफ्ना निम्ति बलि चढाए ।
33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from there.
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्थे र जुन जातिहरूबाट आफू ल्याइएका थिए तिनीहरूकै प्रचलनअनुसार आ-आफ्नै देवताहरूको पनि पुज्थे ।
34 To this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
आजको दिनसम्म तिनीहरू आफ्ना पुराना प्रचलनहरूमा लागेकै छन् । तिनीहरूले न परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्छन्, न त परमप्रभुले इस्राएल नाउँ दिनुभएको याकूबका मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभएका विधिहरू, उर्दीहरू, व्यवस्था वा आज्ञाहरू नै तिनीहरूले पालन गर्छन्—
35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
अनि तिनीहरूसित परमप्रभुले करार बाँध्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो, “तिमीहरूले अन्य देवताहरूको भय मान्ने छैनौ, न तिनीहरूको सामु निहुरिनेछौ, न तिनीहरूकको पुजा गर्नेछौ न त तिनीहरूलाई बलि चढाउनेछौ ।
36 But the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye sacrifice.
तर महान् शक्ति र उठेका हातहरूले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभुलाई मात्र तिमीहरूले आदर गर्नुपर्छ । तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई मात्र दण्डवत् गर्नुपर्छ, र उहाँलाई मात्र बलि चढाउनुपर्छ ।
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
उहाँले तिमीहरूका निम्ति लेख्नुभएका विधिहरू र उर्दीहरू, व्यवस्था र आज्ञाहरूलाई तिमीहरूले सदासर्वदा पालन गर्नेछौ । त्यसैले तिमीहरू अन्य देवताहरूको डर मान्नुहुँदैन,
38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
र मैले तिमीहरूसित बाँधेको करार तिमीहरूले बिर्सनेछेनौ, न त तिमीहरूले अन्य देवताहरूको आदर गर्नेछौ ।
39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
तर तिमीहरूले आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आदर गर्नेछौ । उहाँले तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूको शक्तिबाट तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ ।”
40 Yet they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
तिनीहरूले यो कुरा सुनेनन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले विगतमा गरेका कुरामा तिनीहरू लागिरहे ।
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they to this day.
यसरी यी जातिहरू परमप्रभुदेखि डराए र आफूले खोपेर बनाएका मूर्तिहरूको पनि तिनीहरूले पुजा गरे, अनि तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी र नातिनातिनाले पनि त्यसै गरे । आजको दिनसम्म आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले निरन्तर त्यसै गर्दैछन् ।
