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 these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and camped against the fortified cities, and thought to win 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, and that he intended to fight 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 took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city; and they helped him.
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?”
So many people gathered together, and they stopped all the springs, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?"
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 ।
He took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it, and the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
6 तिनले मानिसहरूमाथि फौजी कमाण्डरहरू नियुक्त गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सहरको मूल ढोकाको खुल्ला ठाउँमा एकसाथ भेला गरे र तिनीहरूसँग हौसलासहित कुरा गरे । तिनले भने,
He set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortably to 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 nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater 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 an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles." The people rested themselves on 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,
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 “अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब यसो भन्छन्: यरूशलेममा भएको घेराबन्दी सहनलाई तिमीहरू के कुरामा भर परिरहेका छौ?
Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, "In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
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?
Doesn't Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, 'The LORD our God will deliver us out of 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?
Hasn't the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense?'
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? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any way able to deliver their land out of 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 was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of 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?”
Now therefore do not let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way, neither believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?"
16 सनहेरीबका सेवकहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर र उहाँका सेवक हिजकियाका विरुद्धमा अझै धेरै बोले ।
His servants spoke yet more 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 insulting the LORD, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of 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 ।
They cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
19 केवल मानिसका हातले बनाएका पृथ्वीका अरू मानिसका देवताहरूका बारेमा उनीहरूले बोलेझैं यरूशलेमका परमेश्वरको बारेमा पनि उनीहरूले बोले ।
They spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.
20 यस विषयको कारणले हिजकिया राजा र आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ताले प्रार्थना गरे र तिनले स्वर्गतिर पुकारा गरे ।
Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
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 ।
The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, some of his own offspring killed him there with the sword.
22 यसरी परमप्रभुले हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबका हातबाट र अरू सबैका हातबाट बचाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई चारैतिरबाट आराम दिनुभयो ।
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and 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 gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
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 was sick even to death: and he prayed to the LORD; and he 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 Hezekiah did not render again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
26 तापनि आफ्नो हृदयको अभिमानको निम्ति हिजकिया र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दा दुवैले पश्चात्ताप गरे, जसले गर्दा हिजकियाको समयमा परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि परेन ।
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come on them in 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 a very great amount of riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all kinds of goodly vessels;
28 तिनीसँग अन्न, नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेल जम्मा गर्ने भण्डारहरू, र सबै किसिमका जनावरका लागि गोठहरू थिए । र तिनीसित भेडाबाख्राहरूका गोठहरू पनि थिए ।
storehouses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
29 यसको साथमा तिनीसँग सहरहरू र प्रसस्त बथान र बगालहरू पनि थिए, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई धेरै धनसम्पत्ति दिनुभएको थियो ।
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.
30 गीहोन नदीको माथिल्लो मुहानलाई थुन्ने र त्यसलाई दाऊदको सहरको पश्चिमपट्टि सिधा ल्याउने हिजकिया पनि यिनै थिए । आफ्ना सब परियोजनामा हिजकिया सफल भए ।
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
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 ।
However concerning 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.
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 ।
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, look, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the 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 ।
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
