२ इतिहास 32
1 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 ।
After all these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, intending to conquer them for himself.
2 सनहेरीब आएका थिए र यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्ने अठोट गरेका थिए भनी जब हिजकियालाई थाहा पाए,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to make war against Jerusalem,
3 तब तिनले सहरबाहिरका मूलहरूका पानी बन्द गरिदिन तिनले आफ्ना अगुवाहरू र आफ्ना शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूसित सल्लाह लिए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई त्यसो गर्न सहयोग गरे ।
he consulted with his leaders and commanders about stopping up the waters of the springs outside the city, and they helped him carry it out.
4 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?”
Many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said.
5 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 ।
Then Hezekiah worked resolutely to rebuild all the broken sections of the wall and to raise up towers on it. He also built an outer wall and reinforced the supporting terraces of the City of David, and he produced an abundance of weapons and shields.
6 तिनले मानिसहरूमाथि फौजी कमाण्डरहरू नियुक्त गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सहरको मूल ढोकाको खुल्ला ठाउँमा एकसाथ भेला गरे र तिनीहरूसँग हौसलासहित कुरा गरे । तिनले भने,
Hezekiah appointed military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,
7 “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 ।
“Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater One with us than with him.
8 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 ।
With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” So the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 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,
Later, as Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces besieged Lachish, he sent his servants to Jerusalem with a message for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem:
10 “अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब यसो भन्छन्: यरूशलेममा भएको घेराबन्दी सहनलाई तिमीहरू के कुरामा भर परिरहेका छौ?
“This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: What is the basis of your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege?
11 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?
Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give you over to death by famine and thirst when he says, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria?’
12 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?
Did not Hezekiah himself remove His high places and His altars and say to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn sacrifices’?
13 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?
Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have the gods of these nations ever been able to deliver their land from my hand?
14 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?
Who among all the gods of these nations that my fathers devoted to destruction has been able to deliver his people from my hand? How then can your God deliver you from my hand?
15 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?”
So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you, and do not let him mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand!”
16 सनहेरीबका सेवकहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर र उहाँका सेवक हिजकियाका विरुद्धमा अझै धेरै बोले ।
And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.
17 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 ।”
He also wrote letters mocking the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”
18 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 ।
Then the Assyrians called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city.
19 केवल मानिसका हातले बनाएका पृथ्वीका अरू मानिसका देवताहरूका बारेमा उनीहरूले बोलेझैं यरूशलेमका परमेश्वरको बारेमा पनि उनीहरूले बोले ।
They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the work of human hands.
20 यस विषयको कारणले हिजकिया राजा र आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ताले प्रार्थना गरे र तिनले स्वर्गतिर पुकारा गरे ।
In response, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer,
21 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 ।
and the LORD sent an angel who annihilated every mighty man of valor and every leader and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons struck him down with the sword.
22 यसरी परमप्रभुले हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबका हातबाट र अरू सबैका हातबाट बचाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई चारैतिरबाट आराम दिनुभयो ।
So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hands of King Sennacherib of Assyria and all the others, and He gave them rest on every side.
23 धेरै जनाले यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको निम्ति भेटीहरू र यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाको निम्ति बहुमूल्य उपहारहरू ल्याए, ताकि त्यो समयदेखि पछि सबै जातिका दृष्टिमा तिनी उच्च पारिए ।
Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah, and from then on he was exalted in the eyes of all nations.
24 ती दिनमा हिजकिया मरणासन्न हुने गरी बिरामी भए । तिनले परमप्रभुमा प्रार्थना गरे, जो तिनीसित बोल्नुभयो र तिनी निको हुनेछन् भनेर एउटा चिन्ह तिनलाई दिनुभयो ।
In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. So he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign.
25 तर हिजकियालाई दिइएको मदतका निम्ति तिनी परमप्रभुप्रति कृतज्ञ भएनन्, किनकि तिनको हृदय अहङ्कारी भएको थियो । यसैले तिनीमाथि र यहूदा र यरूशलेममाथि क्रोध पर्यो ।
But because his heart was proud, Hezekiah did not repay the favor shown to him. Therefore wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
26 तापनि आफ्नो हृदयको अभिमानको निम्ति हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दा दुवैले पश्चात्ताप गरे, जसले गर्दा हिजकियाको समयमा परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि परेन ।
Then Hezekiah humbled the pride of his heart—he and the people of Jerusalem—so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them during the days of Hezekiah.
27 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 ।
Hezekiah had very great riches and honor, and he made treasuries for his silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of valuable articles.
28 तिनीसँग अन्न, नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेल जम्मा गर्ने भण्डारहरू, र सबै किसिमका जनावरका लागि गोठहरू थिए । र तिनीसित भेडाबाख्राहरूका गोठहरू पनि थिए ।
He also made storehouses for the harvest of grain and new wine and oil, stalls for all kinds of livestock, and pens for the flocks.
29 यसको साथमा तिनीसँग सहरहरू र प्रसस्त बथान र बगालहरू पनि थिए, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई धेरै धनसम्पत्ति दिनुभएको थियो ।
He made cities for himself, and he acquired herds of sheep and cattle in abundance, for God gave him very great wealth.
30 गीहोन नदीको माथिल्लो मुहानलाई थुन्ने र त्यसलाई दाऊदको सहरको पश्चिमपट्टि सिधा ल्याउने हिजकिया पनि यिनै थिए । आफ्ना सब परियोजनामा हिजकिया सफल भए ।
It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Spring of Gihon and channeled it down to the west side of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did.
31 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 ।
And so when ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon were sent to him to inquire about the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone to test him, that He might know all that was in Hezekiah’s heart.
32 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 ।
As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of loving devotion, they are indeed written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
33 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 ।
And Hezekiah rested with his fathers and was buried in the upper tombs of David’s descendants. All Judah and the people of Jerusalem paid him honor at his death. And his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
