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 began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

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

And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children 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 he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.

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

And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

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

And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.

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 ।

He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

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 ।

And he set the graven image of the idol that he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever;

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 ।”

neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances.

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

And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.

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

And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but they did not hearken.

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

And Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with fetters, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.

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

And when he was in affliction, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself 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 prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he 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 ।

And after this he built the outer wall of the city of David, on the west, toward Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the fish-gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of war 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 removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of 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 ।

And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.

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

Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only.

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 ।

And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts 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 ।

And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.

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

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

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

Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned 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 Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

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

And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass.

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

And his servants conspired against him, and slew 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 people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
