२ राजाहरू 19
1 जब राजा हिजकियाले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुने, तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते, भाङ्ग्रा लगाए र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र गए ।
And on hearing it, King Hezekiah took off his robe, and put on haircloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
2 तिनले राजदरबारका निरिक्षक एल्याकीम, सचिव शेब्ना र पुजारीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरू सबैलाई भाङ्ग्रा लगाएर आमोजका छोरा अगमवक्ता यशैयाकहाँ पठाए ।
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
3 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हिजकिया भन्नुहुन्छ, 'जसरी बच्चा जन्मन लाग्छ तर तिनीहरूमा जन्मिने बल हुँदैन, त्यसरी नै यो दिन कष्ट, हप्की र अनादरको दिन भएको छ ।
And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame; for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them.
4 सायद परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरले प्रधान सेनापतिका सबै कुरा सुन्नुहुनेछ, जसलाई तिनका मालिक अश्शूरका राजाले जीवित परमेश्वरलाई विरोध गर्न पठाएका छन्, र परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरले सुन्नुभएको कुराले उहाँले तिनलाई हप्काउनुहुनेछ । अब यहाँ अझै बाँचेकाहरुका निम्ति तपाईंले प्रार्थना गर्नुहोस् ।”
It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so then make your prayer for the rest of the people.
5 त्यसैले राजा हिजकियाका सेवकहरू यशैयाकहाँ आए,
So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 र यशैयाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “आफ्ना मालिकलाई यसो भन, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः अश्शूरका राजाका सेवकहरूले मेरो अपमान गरेर बोलेका कुरा सुनेर तँ नडरा ।
And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing.
7 हेर्, म त्यसमा एउटा आत्मा हालिदिनेछु, र त्यसले एउटा खबर सुन्नेछ र आफ्नै देशमा फर्केर जानेछ । त्यसको आफ्नै देशमा म त्यसलाई तरवारले ढाल्न लगाउनेछु' ।”
See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death by the sword.
8 तब प्रधान सेनापति फर्के, र अश्शूरका राजालाई लिब्नाको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गरिरहेका भेट्टाए किनकि राजा लाकीशबाट गइसकेका थिए भनी तिनले सुनेका थिए ।
So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah, for it had come to his ears that he had gone away from Lachish.
9 त्यसै बेला सनहेरीबको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्न कुश र मिश्रदेशका राजा तिर्हाकाहले सेना परिचालन गरेका छन् भनेर तिनले सुने, त्यसैले तिनले फेरि हिजकियाकहाँ यो समाचारसहित सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए,
And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him, he sent representatives to Hezekiah again, saying,
10 “यहूदाका राजा हिजकियालाई भन्नूः 'यरूशलेम अश्शूरका राजाको हातमा पर्नेछैन' भन्ने तिमीले भरोसा गरेका परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई धोका नदेऊन् ।
This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.
11 हेर, अश्शूरका राजाहरूले सबै देशलाई पूर्ण रूपले नष्ट पारेका कुरा तिमीले सुनेका छौ । त्यसैले के तिमीले चाहिँ छुटकारा पाउनेछौ?
No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse; and will you be kept safe?
12 मेरा पुर्खाहरूले नष्ट पारेकाः गोजान, हारान, रेसेप र तेल-अस्सारमा बस्ने अदनका मानिसहरूलाई ती जातिहरूका देवताहरूले छुटकारा दिएका छन्?
Did the gods of the nations keep safe those on whom my fathers sent destruction, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
13 हमातका राजा, अर्पादका राजा, सपर्बेम, हेना र इव्वा सहरहरूका राजा कहाँ छन्?”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the town of Sepharvaim, of Hena and of Ivvah?
14 हिजकियाले सन्देशवाहकरूबाट यो चिठी प्राप्त गरे, र तिनले यो पढे । तब तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा उक्ले अनि उहाँको सामु यसलाई खोलेर राखिदिए ।
And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord.
15 तब हिजकियाले परमप्रभुको सामु प्रार्थना गरे, “हे सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर तपाईं जो करूबहरूमाथि विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ, तपाईं मात्र पृथ्वीका सबै राज्यमाथि राजा हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले नै स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीको सृष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
And Hezekiah made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
16 हे परमप्रभु, आफ्नो कान थाप्नुहोस् र सुन्नुहोस् । हे परमप्रभु, आफ्ना आँखा खोल्नुहोस्, र सनहेरीबका कुराहरू सुन्नुहोस् जुन त्यसले जीवित परमेश्वरको गिल्ला गर्न पठाएको छ ।
Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord, and let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see; take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.
17 हे परमप्रभु, अश्शूरका राजाहरूले जातिहरू र तिनीहरूका देशहरूलाई साँच्चै नै नाश पारेका छन् ।
Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have made waste the nations and their lands,
18 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका देवताहरूलाई आगोमा फालेका छन् किनकि तिनीहरू ईश्वरहरू थिएनन्, तर मानिसका हातका काम अर्थात् काठ र ढुङ्गाहरू थिए । त्यसैले अश्शूरीहरूले तिनलाई नष्ट पारे ।
And have given their gods to the fire; for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction.
19 अब हे परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर, म बिन्ती गर्छु, कि त्यसको शक्तिबाट हामीलाई बचाउनुहोस्, ताकि पृथ्वीका सबै राज्यले तपाईँ परमप्रभु मात्र परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भनी जान्न सकून् ।”
But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hands, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you and only you, O Lord, are God.
20 तब आमोजका छोरा यशैयाले हिजकियालाई यसो भनेर समाचार पठाए, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तैँले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबको बारेमा मलाई प्रार्थना गरेकोले म तेरो कुरा सुन्नेछु ।
Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer which you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.
21 त्यसको विषयमा परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको वचन यही होः “सियोनकी कन्या-छोरीले तँलाई तिरस्कार गर्छे, र तेरो खिल्ली उडाउँछे । यरूशलेमकी छोरीले तँलाई हेर्दै आफ्नो शिर हल्लाउँछे ।
This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.
22 तैँले कसको गिल्ला गरेको छस् र अपमान गरेको छस्? तैँले कसको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो सोर उच्च पारेको छस् र घमण्डका साथ आफ्ना आँखा माथि उठाएको छस्? इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको विरुद्धमा हो!
Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.
23 तेरा सन्देशवाहकहरूद्वारा तैँले परमप्रभुको गिल्ला गरेको छस्, र भनेको छस्, 'मेरा धेरै रथहरूसँगै म पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरूमा, लेबनानका सबैभन्दा उच्च टाकुराहरूमा उक्लेको छु । म त्यहाँका अग्ला-अग्ला देवदारुका रुखहरू र सबैभन्दा असल सल्लाका रुखहरू काटेर ढाल्नेछु । म त्यसको पल्लो कुनामा, त्यसको सबैभन्दा फलदायी वनभित्र प्रवेश गर्नेछु ।
You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods; I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.
24 मैले इनारहरू खनेको छु, र विदेशी पानी पिएको छु । मैले आफ्ना खुट्टाका पैतलामुनि मिश्रदेशका सबै नदी सुकाएँ ।'
I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.
25 के धेरै पहिले नै मैले यसको निधो गरेको अनि प्राचीन समयमा नै मैले यो रचेको तैँले सुनेको छैनस् र? अब मैले यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गर्न खोज्दैछु । तैँले यहाँ किल्ला भएका सहरहरूलाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रोमा समेटेको छस् ।
Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.
26 तिनका थोरै बल भएका बासिन्दाहरू, थाकेका र लाजमा परेका छन् । तिनीहरू मैदानका बिरुवाहरू हुन्, हरिया घाँस छानामाथिका वा मैदान घाँस हुन् जुन उम्रनअगि नै सुक्छन् ।
This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field and the green plant, like grass on the house-tops.
27 तर तँ भुइँमा बसेको र तँ बाहिर गएको र भित्र आएको अनि मेरो विरुद्धमा तैंले रिस गरेको मलाई थाहा छ ।
But I have knowledge of your getting up and your resting, of your going out and your coming in.
28 तैँले मेरो विरुद्धमा रिस देखाएको हुनाले र तेरो घमण्ड मेरो कानसम्म पुगेको हुनाले म तेरो नाकमा मेरो बल्छी लगाउनेछु, र तेरो मुखमा मेरो लगाम लगाउनेछु । म तँलाई तँ आएकै बाटो फर्काउनेछु ।”
Because your wrath against me and your words of pride have come up to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came.
29 तेरो लागि चिन्हचाहिँ यो हुने छः यो साल तैँले आफै उम्रेको अन्न खानेछस्, र अर्को साल त्यसैबाट उम्रेको खानेछस् । तर तेस्रो वर्षमा चाहिँ तैँले अन्न रोप्ने अनि कटनी गर्नेछस्, दाखबारी लगाउनेछस् र तिनका फल खानेछस् ।
And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself; and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed and get in the grain and make vine-gardens and take of their fruit.
30 यहूदाको घरानाका बाँचेर बाँकी बाँचेकाहरूले फेरि जरा हाल्नेछन् र फल फलाउनेछन् ।
And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth and give fruit.
31 किनकि यरूशलेमबाट बाँकी रहेको एउटा भाग आउनेछ, सियोन पर्वतबाट बाँचेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको जोसले यो गर्नेछ ।
For from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
32 त्यसकारण अश्शूरका राजाको विषयमा परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः “ऊ यो सहरमा आउनेछैन, न त त्यसले यहाँ काँड हान्नेछ । न त यसको सामु त्यो ढाल लिएर आउनेछ वा यसको विरुद्धमा घेरा-मचान लगाउनेछ ।
For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it;
33 जुन बाटोबाट ऊ आएको थियो ऊ त्यही बाटो फर्केर जानेछ । ऊ यस सहरमा पस्नेछैन— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town, says the Lord.
34 किनकि मेरो आफ्नै निम्ति र मेरा दास दाऊदको निम्ति म यस सहरको रक्षा गर्नेछु र यसलाई बचाउनेछु ।”
For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
35 त्यस राज परमप्रभुका दूत बाहिर निस्के र अश्शूरीहरूको छाउनीलाई आक्रमण गरे, र एक लाख पचासी हजार सिपाहीलाई मारे । जब मानिसहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे तब जताततै लाश छरिएका थिए ।
And that night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.
36 त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबले इस्राएल चोडे र घरमा गए, र निनवेमा बसे ।
So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went back to his place at Nineveh.
37 पछि तिनले आफ्नो देवता निस्रोकको मन्दिरमा पुजा गरिरहँदा तिनका छोराहरू अद्रम्मलेक र शरेसेरले तिनलाई तरवारले मारे । अनि तिनीहरू आरारात देशमा भागेर गए । तब तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा एसरहदोन राजा भए ।
And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword; and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son became king in his place.
