२ राजाहरू 19
1 जब राजा हिजकियाले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुने, तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते, भाङ्ग्रा लगाए र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र गए ।
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, 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 household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto 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 unto him: 'Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
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 the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard; wherefore make prayer for the remnant that is left.'
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 unto them: 'Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
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' ।”
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.'
8 तब प्रधान सेनापति फर्के, र अश्शूरका राजालाई लिब्नाको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गरिरहेका भेट्टाए किनकि राजा लाकीशबाट गइसकेका थिए भनी तिनले सुनेका थिए ।
So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed 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 he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia: 'Behold, he is come out to fight against thee'; he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying:
10 “यहूदाका राजा हिजकियालाई भन्नूः 'यरूशलेम अश्शूरका राजाको हातमा पर्नेछैन' भन्ने तिमीले भरोसा गरेका परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई धोका नदेऊन् ।
'Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God in whom thou trustest beguile thee, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand 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?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
12 मेरा पुर्खाहरूले नष्ट पारेकाः गोजान, हारान, रेसेप र तेल-अस्सारमा बस्ने अदनका मानिसहरूलाई ती जातिहरूका देवताहरूले छुटकारा दिएका छन्?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that 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 city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and 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 received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it 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 prayed before the LORD, and said: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, Thou art the God, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast 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 ।
Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open Thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to taunt the living God.
17 हे परमप्रभु, अश्शूरका राजाहरूले जातिहरू र तिनीहरूका देशहरूलाई साँच्चै नै नाश पारेका छन् ।
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid 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 cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
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 ।”
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save Thou us, I beseech Thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD God, even Thou only.'
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: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard thee.
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 that the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
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!
Whom hast thou taunted and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? Yea, thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high, 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 ।
By the messengers thou hast taunted the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I have cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice cypresses thereof; and I have entered into his farthest lodge, the forest of his fruitful field.
24 मैले इनारहरू खनेको छु, र विदेशी पानी पिएको छु । मैले आफ्ना खुट्टाका पैतलामुनि मिश्रदेशका सबै नदी सुकाएँ ।'
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
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 ।
Hast thou not heard? long ago I made it, in ancient times I fashioned it; now have I brought it to pass, yea, it is done; that fortified cities should be laid waste into ruinous heaps.
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 ।
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it is grown up.
27 तर तँ भुइँमा बसेको र तँ बाहिर गएको र भित्र आएको अनि मेरो विरुद्धमा तैंले रिस गरेको मलाई थाहा छ ।
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against Me.
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 of thy raging against Me, and for that thy tumult is come up into Mine ears, therefore will I put My hook in thy nose, and My bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
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 shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
30 यहूदाको घरानाका बाँचेर बाँकी बाँचेकाहरूले फेरि जरा हाल्नेछन् र फल फलाउनेछन् ।
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 किनकि यरूशलेमबाट बाँकी रहेको एउटा भाग आउनेछ, सियोन पर्वतबाट बाँचेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको जोसले यो गर्नेछ ।
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape; the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
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 ।
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.
33 जुन बाटोबाट ऊ आएको थियो ऊ त्यही बाटो फर्केर जानेछ । ऊ यस सहरमा पस्नेछैन— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
34 किनकि मेरो आफ्नै निम्ति र मेरा दास दाऊदको निम्ति म यस सहरको रक्षा गर्नेछु र यसलाई बचाउनेछु ।”
For I will defend this city to save it, for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake.'
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 it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबले इस्राएल चोडे र घरमा गए, र निनवेमा बसे ।
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt 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 to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sarezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
