२ इतिहास 33

1 मनश्शेले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाह्र वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा पचपन्‍न वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

2 तिनले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामुन्‍नेबाट धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका घिनलाग्दा चालहरूमा हिंडेर तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे ।

But he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all the abominations of the nations which the Lord overturned before the sons of Israel.

3 तिनका पिता हिजकियाले नाश गरेका डाँडाका थानहरू तिनले फेरि बनाए, र तिनले बाल देवताहरूका निम्ति वेदीहरू खडा गरे, अशेराका खम्बाहरू बनाए, र तिनले आकाशका सबै ताराका सामु निहुरे र तिनको पुजा गरे ।

And turning away, he repaired the high places, which had been demolished by his father, Hezekiah. And he constructed altars to the Baals, and made sacred groves. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.

4 “यरूशलेममा नै मेरो नाउँ सदासर्वदा रहनेछ” भनेर परमप्रभुले आज्ञा दिनुभए तापनि मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा वेदीहरू बनाए ।

Also, he built altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

5 तिनले आकाशका सारा ताराहरूका निम्ति परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका दुवै चोकमा वेदीहरू बनाए ।

But he built these for the entire army of heaven, in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

6 तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई बेन-हिन्‍नोमको बेसीमा आगोमा हिंड्न लगाए । तिनले टुनामुना गरे, जोखना हेरे, मन्त्रतन्त्र गरे र मृतहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरू र आत्माहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरूसित सल्लाह लिए । मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा धेरै दुष्‍ट काम गरे र तिनले उहाँलाई रिस उठाए ।

And he caused his sons to pass through fire in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. He observed dreams, followed divinations, served the occult arts, had with him magicians and enchanters, and worked many evils before the Lord, so that he provoked him.

7 तिनले बनाएको खोपेका मूर्तिलाई तिनले परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरभित्र राखे । यस मन्दिरको विषयमा परमप्रभुले दाऊद र तिनका छोरा सोलोमनसित बोल्‍नुभएको थियो । गहाँले यसो भन्‍नुभएको थियोः “मैले इस्राएलका सबै कुलमध्ये चुनेको यो मन्दिर र यरूशलेममा म सदासर्वदाको निम्ति मेरो नाउँ राख्नेछु ।

Also, he set up a graven image and molten statue in the house of God, about which God said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.

8 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मेरा सबै आज्ञा मानेर मेरो दास मोशामार्फत् मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका सबै व्‍यवस्‍था, विधिहरू र आदेशहरू होसियारसाथ पालन गरे भने, मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको देशबाट तिनीहरूलाई म फेरि पर हटाउनेछैनँ ।”

And I will not cause the foot of Israel to be moved from the land which I delivered to their fathers. Yet this is so, only if they will take care to do what I have instructed them, by the hand of Moses, with the entire law and the ceremonies and the judgments.”

9 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको सामुन्‍ने नाश गर्नुभएका जातिहरूले भन्दा पनि धेरै दुष्‍ट काम गर्न मनश्शेले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरे ।

And so Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil, more so than all the nations which the Lord had overturned before the face of the sons of Israel.

10 मनश्शे र तिनका मानिसहरूसित परमप्रभु बोल्नुभयो, तर तिनीहरूले ध्‍यान नै दिएनन् ।

And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, but they were not willing to pay attention.

11 यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा अश्शूरका राजाका फौजका कमाण्‍डरहरू ल्याउनुभयो, जसले मनश्शेलाई साङ्लाले बाँधे, हतकडीहरू लगाए र तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा लिएर गए ।

Therefore, he led over them the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And they captured Manasseh, and they led him, bound with chains and fetters, to Babylon.

12 जब मनश्शे कष्‍टमा परे, तब तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरलाई खोजे, र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरकहाँ अत्यन्तै विनम्र भएर झुके ।

And after this, being in great anguish, he prayed to the Lord his God. And he did penance greatly before the God of his fathers.

13 तिनले उहाँसँग प्रार्थना गरे । अनि तिनले परमेश्‍वरसँग बिन्ती चढाए र परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई यरूशलेममा ल्‍याएर फेरि राजा बनाउनुभयो । तब मनश्शेले परमप्रभु नै परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍छ भनी जाने ।

And he petitioned and begged him intently. And he heeded his prayer, and led him back to Jerusalem, into his kingdom. And Manasseh realized that the Lord himself was God.

14 त्यसपछि मनश्शेले बेसीको गीहोनको पश्‍चिमपट्टिदेखि माछा ढोकासम्म दाऊदको सहरका बाहिरको पर्खाल बनाए । तिनले ओफेल डाँडा घेरे र त्यो पर्खाल धेरै अल्गो बनाए । तिनले यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सबै सहरमा साहसी फौजका कमाण्‍डरहरू पनि खटाइदिए ।

After these things, he built a wall outside the City of David, to the west of Gihon, at the steep valley, from the entrance to the fish gate, circling around as far as Ophel. And he raised it up greatly. And he appointed leaders of the army in all the fortified cities of Judah.

15 तिनले विदेशी देवताहरू र खोपेर बनाएका मूर्ति परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट हटाए, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको डाँडा र यरूशलेममा तिनी आफैले बनाएका सबै वेदी पनि हटाइदिए र तिनले ती सबैलाई सहरबाट बाहिर फ्याँकिदिए ।

And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol from the house of the Lord, and also the altars which he had made on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem. And he cast all these things outside the city.

16 तिनले परमप्रभुको वेदीको पुननिर्माण गरे र त्यसमा मेलबलि र धन्यवाद बलि चढाए । तिनले यहूदालाई परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सेवा गर्नू भनी हुकुम दिए ।

Then he repaired the altar of the Lord, and he immolated upon it victims, and peace offerings, with praise. And he instructed Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.

17 तापनि मानिसहरूले डाँडाका थानहरूमा बलिदानहरू चढाउँदैरहे, तर परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति मात्रै चढाए ।

Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, to the Lord their God.

18 मनश्शेको राजकालका अरू विषयहरू, आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरमा तिनले चढाएको प्रार्थना र परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँमा दर्शीहरूले तिनलाई बोलेका वचनहरू, हेर, ती इस्राएलका राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।

But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.

19 त्‍यो वर्णनमा, तिनको प्रार्थना र परमेश्‍वर कसरी त्‍यसबाट चल्‍नुभयो भन्‍ने कुराको इतिहास छ । तिनले आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्याउनु अगि तिनले गरेका सबै पाप र अविश्‍वासका काम, तिनले बनाएका डाँडाका थानहरू र अशेराका खम्बा र मूर्तिहरू— पनि यी सबै दर्शीहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।

Also, his prayer and its heeding, and all his sins and contempt, and the sites on which he built high places and made sacred groves and statues, before he repented, have been written in the words of Hozai.

20 यसरी मनश्शे आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई तिनको आफ्नै महलमा गाडे । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा अमोन राजा भए ।

Then Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son, Amon, reigned in his place.

21 अमोनले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाइस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.

22 तिनका पिता मनश्शेले गरेझैं तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे । तिनले आफ्ना पिता मनश्शेले बनाएका सबै मूर्तिमा बलिदान चढाए र तिनको पुजा गरे ।

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. And he immolated to all the idols that Manasseh had fabricated, and he served them.

23 आफ्ना पिता मनश्शेले गरेझैं तिनले परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने आफैलाई विनम्र पारेनन् । यसरी तिनी झन् बढी अनाज्ञाकारी भए ।

But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.

24 तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनको विरुद्धमा षड्‌यन्‍त्र रचे, र तिनको आफ्नै महलमा तिनलाई मारे ।

And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him in his own house.

25 तर देशका मानिसहरूले राजा अमोनको विरुद्धमा षड्‌यन्‍त्र गर्ने सबैलाई मारे, र तिनको छोरा योशियाहलाई तिनको ठाउँमा तिनीहरूले राजा बनाए ।

But the rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.
