2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, desiring to take 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 Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,
सनहेरीब आएका थिए र यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्ने अठोट गरेका थिए भनी जब हिजकियालाई थाहा पाए,
3 He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind,
तब तिनले सहरबाहिरका मूलहरूका पानी बन्द गरिदिन तिनले आफ्ना अगुवाहरू र आफ्ना शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूसित सल्लाह लिए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई त्यसो गर्न सहयोग गरे ।
4 He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and And abundance of 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 He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields:
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 appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, 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 Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are many 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 For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.
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 the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis, ) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, 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 saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?
“अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब यसो भन्छन्: यरूशलेममा भएको घेराबन्दी सहनलाई तिमीहरू के कुरामा भर परिरहेका छौ?
11 Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
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 Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?
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 Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been 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 the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this 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 Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to 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 many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.
सनहेरीबका सेवकहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर र उहाँका सेवक हिजकियाका विरुद्धमा अझै धेरै बोले ।
17 He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this 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 Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and 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 he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
केवल मानिसका हातले बनाएका पृथ्वीका अरू मानिसका देवताहरूका बारेमा उनीहरूले बोलेझैं यरूशलेमका परमेश्वरको बारेमा पनि उनीहरूले बोले ।
20 And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.
यस विषयको कारणले हिजकिया राजा र आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ताले प्रार्थना गरे र तिनले स्वर्गतिर पुकारा गरे ।
21 And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him 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 the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of all, and gave them treasures on every side.
यसरी परमप्रभुले हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबका हातबाट र अरू सबैका हातबाट बचाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई चारैतिरबाट आराम दिनुभयो ।
23 Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all 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 Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard 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 he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda 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 he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias.
तापनि आफ्नो हृदयको अभिमानको निम्ति हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दा दुवैले पश्चात्ताप गरे, जसले गर्दा हिजकियाको समयमा परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि परेन ।
27 And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price.
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 of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all beasts, and folds for cattle.
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 built himself cities: for he had flocks of sheep, and herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance.
यसको साथमा तिनीसँग सहरहरू र प्रसस्त बथान र बगालहरू पनि थिए, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई धेरै धनसम्पत्ति दिनुभएको थियो ।
30 This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in ail his works he did prosperously what he would.
गीहोन नदीको माथिल्लो मुहानलाई थुन्ने र त्यसलाई दाऊदको सहरको पश्चिमपट्टि सिधा ल्याउने हिजकिया पनि यिनै थिए । आफ्ना सब परियोजनामा हिजकिया सफल भए ।
31 But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were 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 Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda 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 Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses 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 ।
