2 Chronicles 10
1 All the people of Israel went to Shechem [city] in order to appoint Rehoboam to be their king. So Rehoboam also went there.
रहबाम शकेममा गए, किनकि सारा इस्राएल तिनलाई राजा तुल्याउन शकेममा आइरहेका थिए ।
2 Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had fled to Egypt [to escape] from King Solomon. But when he heard [about the people wanting to appoint Rehoboam to be their king], he returned [to Israel] from Egypt
जब नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो कुरा सुने (किनकि तिनी मिश्रदेशमा थिए, जहाँ तिनी सोलोमन राजादेखि भागेर गएका थिए), तब तिनी मिश्रदेशबाट फर्के ।
3 So the [leaders of the northern tribes] summoned him, and he went with them [to talk] to Rehoboam. They said to Rehoboam,
यसैले तिनीहरूले मानिस पठाए र तिनलाई बोलाए, र रहबाम र सबै इस्राएल आए । तिनीहरूले रहबामसित कुरा गरे र भने,
4 “Your father [Solomon] forced us to work very hard for him. If you do not force us to work that hard, and if you charge us less taxes than we were paying to him, we will serve you [faithfully].”
“तपाईंका बुबाले हाम्रो जुवा गाह्रो बनाउनुभयो । यसकारण, अब तपाईंका बुबाको कठोर कामलाई सजिलो बनाउनुहोस्, र उहाँले हामीमाथि लाद्नुभएको गह्रौं जुवा हलुङ्गो गरिदिनुहोस्, र हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्नेछौं ।”
5 He replied, “Come back three days from now [and I will give you my answer].” So those leaders [and Jeroboam] left.
रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिन दिनपछि फेरि मकहाँ आओ ।” यसैले मानिसहरू गए ।
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted his older men who had advised his father Solomon while he was still alive. He asked them, “What shall I say to answer these men?”
राजा रहबामले आफ्नो बुबा सोलोमन जीवित छँदा तिनका सेवा गर्ने पाका मानिसहरूसँग सल्लाह मागे । तिनले भने, “यी मानिसलाई जवाफ दिन तपाईंहरू कस्तो सल्लाह दिनुहुन्छ?”
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and do things that will please them, and if you say kind things to them when you answer them, they will always serve you.”
उनीहरूले तिनलाई यसो भने, “यी मानिसप्रति तपाईं असल हुनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई खुसी पार्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई असल वचन दिनुभयो भने, तिनीहरूले सधैं तपाईंका सेवकहरू हुनेछन् ।”
8 But he ignored what the older men advised him to do. Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him, who were now his advisors.
तर ती पाका मानिसले आफूलाई दिएको सल्लाहलाई रहबामले बेवास्ता गरे, र आफूसित हुर्केका र आफ्नो सामु खडा भएका जवान मानिसहरूका सल्लाह तिनले मागे ।
9 He said to them, “How should I answer the men who are asking me to reduce the [work and taxes] that my father required from them?”
तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू मलाई कस्तो सल्लाह दिन्छौ, ताकि मसित यसो भनेर कुरा गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौं, ‘तपाईंका बुबाले हामीमाथि लाद्नुभएको गह्रौं जुवा हलुङ्गो गरिदिनुहोस्’?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “[Those men] have said that your father forced them to work very hard for him, so they want you to reduce the [work and taxes] that your father required from them. But this is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
रहबामसित हुर्केका ती जवान मानिसहरूले यसो भनेर तिनीसित कुरा गरे, “तपाईंको बुबा सोलोमोनले तिनीहरूका जुवा गह्रौं बनाउनुभयो, तर तपाईंले त्यो हलुङ्गो बनाउनुपर्छ भन्ने यी मानिसलाई तपाईंले यसो भन्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंले यसो भन्नुपर्छ, ‘मेरो कान्छी औंला मेरा बुबाको कम्मरभन्दा मोटो छ ।
11 What I mean is that my father required you to [work hard and pay high taxes]. But I will make those loads heavier. [It was as though] my father whipped you, but I will whip you with whips that have pieces of metal in them.’”
यसैले अब, मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूमाथि गह्रौं जुवा बोकाउनुभए तापनि, तिमीहरूका जुवामाथि म थप्नेछु । मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्राले दण्ड दिनुहुन्थ्यो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले दण्ड दिनेछु’ ।”
12 Three days later, Jeroboam and all the leaders came to King Rehoboam again, which is what he had told them to do.
यसैले, “तिन दिनपछि फेरि मकहाँ आओ,” भन्ने राजाको हुकुमबमोजिम यारोबाम र ती सबै मानिस तेस्रो दिन रहबामकहाँ आए ।
13 The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the Israeli leaders.
अनि ती पाका मानिसका सल्लाहलाई बेवास्ता गरेर रहबामले तिनीहरूसँग कठोर किसिमले बोले ।
14 [He told them what the younger men had advised.] He said, “My father put heavy burdens [of work and taxes] on you, but I will put heavier burdens on you. [It was as though] he beat you with whips, but I will beat you with whips that have pieces of metal in them!”
ती जवान मानिसका सल्लाहको अनुसरण गरेर उनीहरूसँग तिनले यसो भनेर, “मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूको जुवा गह्रौं बनाउनुभयो, तर म त्यसमा थप्नेछु। मेरा बुबाले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्राले दण्ड दिनुहुन्थ्यो, तर म तिमीहरूलाई बिच्छीहरूले दण्ड दिनेछु ।”
15 So the king did not pay any attention to the Israeli leaders. But this happened in order that what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah about Jeroboam would happen.
यसरी राजाले ती मानिसका कुरा सुनेनन्, किनकि शीलोका अहियाहद्वारा नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको वचन पूरा हुनलाई परमेश्वरले नै यस्ता घटनाहरू हुन दिनुभयो ।
16 When the Israeli leaders realized that the king did not pay any attention to what they said, they shouted, “We do not want anything to do with this descendant of King David! We will not pay attention to what this grandson of Jesse says! You people of Israel, let’s go home! As for this descendant of David, he can rule his own kingdom!” So the Israeli leaders returned to their homes.
जब राजाले आफ्ना कुरा नसुनेका सारा इस्राएलले देखे, तब तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए र भने, “दाऊदमा हाम्रो के हिस्सा छ र? यिशैका छोरामा हाम्रो केही उत्तराधिकार छैन! ए इस्राएल, तिमीहरू हरेका आआफ्नै पालमा जानुपर्छ । अब ए दाऊद, तिम्रो आफ्नै घरको रेखदेख गर ।” यसैले सबै इस्राएल आआफ्ना पालहरूमा फर्के ।
17 And [after that, the only Israeli] people whom Rehoboam ruled over were those who lived in the territory of [the tribes of] Judah [and Benjamin].
तर यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्ने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सम्बन्धमा तिनीहरूमाथि रहबामले राज्य गरे ।
18 Then King Rehoboam went with Adoniram [to talk to the Israeli people]. Adoniram was the man who supervised [all the men who were] forced to work [for Rehoboam]. But the Israeli people killed him by throwing stones at him. When that happened, King Rehoboam quickly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem.
तब राजा रहबामले ज्यालाबिना काममा लगाइएका मानिसहरूका निरीक्षक अदोनीरामलाई पठाए, तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे । राजा रहबामचाहिं आफ्नो रथमा चढेर तुरुन्तै यरूशलेमतर्फ भागे ।
19 Ever since that time, [the people of the northern tribes of] Israel have been rebelling against the descendants of [King] David.
अनि आजको दिनसम्म पनि दाऊदका घरानाप्रति इस्राएलचाहिं विद्रोही भएको छ ।
