2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them.
यी सबै कुराहरू र यी विश्वासयोग्य कामहरू भएपछि, अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब आए र यहूदामा पसे । किल्ला भएका सहरहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नलाई तिनले छाउनी हाले, जसलाई तिनले आफ्नो निम्ति कब्जा गर्न इच्छा गरे ।
2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was minded to fight against Jerusalem,
सनहेरीब आएका थिए र यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्ने अठोट गरेका थिए भनी जब हिजकियालाई थाहा पाए,
3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the fountains of waters that were outside the city; and they helped him.
तब तिनले सहरबाहिरका मूलहरूका पानी बन्द गरिदिन तिनले आफ्ना अगुवाहरू र आफ्ना शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूसित सल्लाह लिए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई त्यसो गर्न सहयोग गरे ।
4 And there was gathered together much people, and they stopped all the fountains, and the torrent that flows through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?
धेरै संख्यामा मानिसहरू एकसाथ भेला भए र देशको मध्यभाग भएर बग्ने सबै मूलहरू र खोलाहरू थुनिदिए । तिनीहरूले भने, “अश्शूरका राजाहरू यहाँ आएर किन प्रशस्त पानी पाउने?”
5 And he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and [built] another wall outside, and fortified the Millo of the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
हिजकियाले साहस गरे र भत्किएका सबै पर्खालको निर्माण गरे । तिनले धरहराहरू अग्लो बनाए, र बाहिरका अरू पर्खालहरू पनि त्यसै गरे । दाऊदको सहरका टेवा दिने गाराहरू पनि तिनले सुदृढ पारे, र तिनले ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा हातहतियार र ढालहरू बनाए ।
6 And he set captains of war over the people, and assembled them to him on the open place at the gate of the city, and spoke consolingly to them saying,
तिनले मानिसहरूमाथि फौजी कमाण्डरहरू नियुक्त गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सहरको मूल ढोकाको खुल्ला ठाउँमा एकसाथ भेला गरे र तिनीहरूसँग हौसलासहित कुरा गरे । तिनले भने,
7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him:
“बलिया र साहसिला होओ । अश्शूरका राजा र तिनीसँग भएको त्यो सबै ठुलो फौज को कारणले नडराओ वा हतोत्साही नहोओ, किनकि हामीसित हुनुहुने उनीहरूसित हुनेभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ ।
8 with him is an arm of flesh, but with us is Jehovah our God to help us and to fight our battles. And the people depended upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
तिनीसित शारीरिक हतिहार मात्र छन्, तर हामीलाई सहायता गर्न र हाम्रो युद्ध गर्न हामीसित हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।” तब यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाको वचनले गर्दा यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आफैलाई सान्त्वना दिए ।
9 After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he himself was before Lachish, and all his power with him), unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
त्यसपछि अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबले यरूशलेममा, (उनी लाकीश अगाडि थिए, र उनका सबै फौज उनीसित थियो) यहूदाका राजा हिजकिया र यरूशलेममा भएका यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरूकहाँ आफ्ना सेवकहरू पठाए । तिनले भने,
10 Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: On what do ye rely that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
“अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब यसो भन्छन्: यरूशलेममा भएको घेराबन्दी सहनलाई तिमीहरू के कुरामा भर परिरहेका छौ?
11 Does not Hezekiah persuade you, to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
जब ‘परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले अश्शूरका राजाको हातबाट बचाउनुहुनेछ’ भनी हिजकियाले तिमीहरूलाई भन्छन्, तब तिमीहरू बसेकै ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई अनिकाल वा तिर्खाले मार्नलाई तिनले तिमीहरूलाई भ्रममा पारिरहेका छैनन् र?
12 Has not the same Hezekiah removed his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?
आफ्ना अल्गा ठाउँहरू र आफ्ना वेदीहरू हटाएका, अनि यहूदा र यरूशलेमलाई ‘एउटै मात्र वेदीमा तिमीहरूले आराधना गर्नुपर्छ र त्यसमा तिमीहरूले आफ्ना बलिदान चढाउनुपर्छ,’ भन्ने हिजकिया यिनै होइनन् र?
13 Do ye not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the countries? Were the gods of the nations of the countries in any wise able to deliver their country out of my hand?
म र मेरा पुर्खाहरूले अरू देशका सबै मानिसलाई के गरेका छौं सो तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन र? के वरिपरिका देशका मानिसहरूका देवताहरूले मेरो शक्तिबाट आफ्ना देशहरूलाई बचाउन सकेका थिए र?
14 Who is there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers have utterly destroyed, that was able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
मेरा पुर्खाहरूले पूर्ण रूपले नाश गरेका जातिहरूका देवतामध्ये के त्यहाँ कुनै देवता थियो जसले मेरो हातबाट आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई बचाउन सक्यो? तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई मेरो शक्तिबाट किन बचाउनुपर्छ र?
15 And now, let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, nor out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?
अब हिजकियाले यसो भनेर तिमीहरूलाई छलमा पार्न र तिमीहरूलाई मनाउन नदेओ । तिमीहरू तिनीमाथि विश्वास नगर, किनकि कुनै पनि जाति वा राज्यका देवताले आफ्ना मानिसलाई मेरो वा मेरा पुर्खाहरूका हातबाट बचाउन सकेको छैन । तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई मेरो हातबाट कति थोरै बचाउने छन् र?”
16 And his servants spoke yet more against Jehovah, the [true] God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
सनहेरीबका सेवकहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर र उहाँका सेवक हिजकियाका विरुद्धमा अझै धेरै बोले ।
17 And he wrote a letter to rail at Jehovah the God of Israel, and to speak against him saying, As the gods of the nations of the countries have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand.
परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको गिल्ला गर्नको निम्ति समेत सनहेरीबले पत्रहरू पनि लेखे । तिनले भने: “जसरी अरू देशका जातिहरूका देवताहरूले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई मेरो हातबाट बचाउन सकेका छैनन्, त्यसरी नै हिजकियाका परमेश्वरले पनि आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई मेरो हातबाट बचाउन सक्ने छैनन् ।”
18 And they cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language] to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
तब उनीहरूले सहर कब्जा गर्न सकुन् भनेर यरूशलेमको पर्खालमा खडा हुने मानिसहरूलाई, तिनीहरूलाई त्रासमा पार्न र तिनीहरूलाई कष्ट दिन उनीहरूले चर्को सोरले यहूदीहरूका भाषामा कराए ।
19 And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of man's hand.
केवल मानिसका हातले बनाएका पृथ्वीका अरू मानिसका देवताहरूका बारेमा उनीहरूले बोलेझैं यरूशलेमका परमेश्वरको बारेमा पनि उनीहरूले बोले ।
20 And because of this, king Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz prayed and cried to heaven.
यस विषयको कारणले हिजकिया राजा र आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ताले प्रार्थना गरे र तिनले स्वर्गतिर पुकारा गरे ।
21 And Jehovah sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the princes and the captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. And he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels made him fall there with the sword.
तब परमप्रभुले एउटा स्वर्गदूत पठाउनुभयो, जसले छाउनीमा भएका राजाका योद्धाहरू, कमाण्डरहरू र अधिकृतहरूलाई मारे । यसरी सनहेरीब आफ्नो मुहारमा बेइज्जती लिएर तिनको आफ्नो देशमा फर्के । जब उनी आफ्नो देवताको मन्दिरमा पसेका थिए, तब उनका आफ्नै छोरामध्येका कसैले उनलाई तरवारले काटेर मारे ।
22 And Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all, and protected them on every side.
यसरी परमप्रभुले हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबका हातबाट र अरू सबैका हातबाट बचाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई चारैतिरबाट आराम दिनुभयो ।
23 And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; and he was thenceforth magnified in the sight of all the nations.
धेरै जनाले यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको निम्ति भेटीहरू र यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाको निम्ति बहुमूल्य उपहारहरू ल्याए, ताकि त्यो समयदेखि पछि सबै जातिका दृष्टिमा तिनी उच्च पारिए ।
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death, and he prayed to Jehovah; and he spoke to him and gave him a sign.
ती दिनमा हिजकिया मरणासन्न हुने गरी बिरामी भए । तिनले परमप्रभुमा प्रार्थना गरे, जो तिनीसित बोल्नुभयो र तिनी निको हुनेछन् भनेर एउटा चिन्ह तिनलाई दिनुभयो ।
25 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit [done] to him, for his heart was lifted up; and there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
तर हिजकियालाई दिइएको मदतका निम्ति तिनी परमप्रभुप्रति कृतज्ञ भएनन्, किनकि तिनको हृदय अहङ्कारी भएको थियो । यसैले तिनीमाथि र यहूदा र यरूशलेममाथि क्रोध पर्यो ।
26 And Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
तापनि आफ्नो हृदयको अभिमानको निम्ति हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दा दुवैले पश्चात्ताप गरे, जसले गर्दा हिजकियाको समयमा परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि परेन ।
27 And Hezekiah had very much riches and honour; and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant vessels;
हिजकियाले धेरै धनसम्पत्ति र धेरै मान पाएका थिए । तिनले आफ्ना निम्ति सुन, चाँदी, बहुमूल्य पत्थर र मसलाहरू, अनि ढालहरू र अरू दामी-दामी चीजहरू राख्ने भण्डारहरू बनाए ।
28 storehouses also for the increase of corn and new wine and oil, and stalls for all manner of beasts, and [he procured] flocks for the stalls.
तिनीसँग अन्न, नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेल जम्मा गर्ने भण्डारहरू, र सबै किसिमका जनावरका लागि गोठहरू थिए । र तिनीसित भेडाबाख्राहरूका गोठहरू पनि थिए ।
29 And he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God gave him very much substance.
यसको साथमा तिनीसँग सहरहरू र प्रसस्त बथान र बगालहरू पनि थिए, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई धेरै धनसम्पत्ति दिनुभएको थियो ।
30 And he, Hezekiah, stopped the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
गीहोन नदीको माथिल्लो मुहानलाई थुन्ने र त्यसलाई दाऊदको सहरको पश्चिमपट्टि सिधा ल्याउने हिजकिया पनि यिनै थिए । आफ्ना सब परियोजनामा हिजकिया सफल भए ।
31 However in [the matter of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all [that was] in his heart.
तापनि देशमा देखिएको आश्चर्यका चिन्हको विषयमा जानकारहरूका बारेमा प्रश्नहरू सोध्नलाई बेबिलोनका शासकहरूले पठाएका राजदूतहरूका सम्बन्धमा तिनको जाँच गर्न र तिनको हृदयका सबै कुरा पत्ता लगाउन परमेश्वरले तिनलाई छोड्नुभयो ।
32 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
हिजकियाको बारेमा अन्य कुराहरू, तिनका करारका बफादर कामहरूसमेतका कुरा, आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ताको दर्शन र यहूदा र इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा ती लेखिएका तपाईंले पाउनुहुन्छ ।
33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the highest place of the sepulchres of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
हिजकिया आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले दाऊदका सन्तानहरूका चिहानहरू भएको डाँडामा तिनलाई गाडे । तिनको मृत्युमा सारा यहूदा र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई श्रद्धासुमन प्रकट गरे । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा मनश्शे राजा भए ।
