< २ राजाहरू 21 >
1 मनश्शेले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाह्र वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा पचपन्न वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ हेप्सीबा थियो ।
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको सामुबाट धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूले घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू गरेजस्तै, परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खरब थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे ।
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
3 किनकि तिनका पिता हिजकियाले नाश पारेका उच्च ठाउँहरू तिनले पुनर्निर्माण गरे, र इस्राएलका राजा आहाबले गरेझैँ तिनले बालका लागि वेदीहरू बनाए, र अश्शेरा देवीको खम्बा बनाए अनि आकाशका सबै ताराहरूका सामु तिनी घोप्टो परे र तिनीहरूको पुजा गरे ।
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा मनश्शेले वेदीहरू बनाए, यद्यपि परमप्रभुले यस्तो आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो, “यरूशलेममा मात्र मेरो नाउँ सदासर्वदा कायम रहनेछ ।”
He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
5 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका दुईवटा चोकमा तिनले आकाशका सबै ताराहरूका लागि वेदीहरू बनाए ।
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
6 तिनले आफ्नो छोरोलाई आगोमा हिंड्न लगाए । तिनले टुनामुना गरे र जोखना हेरे अनि मृत आत्माहरू र भूत आत्माहरूसँग बात गर्नेहरूका सल्लाह लिए । तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा असाध्यै खराबी गरेर परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाए ।
He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
7 आफूले बनाएका अश्शेरा देवीको मूर्तिलाई तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखे । यही मन्दिरको बारेमा परमप्रभुले दाऊद र तिनका छोरा सोलोमनलाई यसो भन्नुभएको थियो, “मैले इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट चुनेको यो मन्दिरमा र यरूशलेममा म मेरो नाउँ सदासर्वदाको निम्ति राख्नेछु ।
He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which Yahweh 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, I will put my name forever;
8 मैले इस्राएललाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै कुरा पालन गर्न र मेरा दास मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका सबै व्यवस्था पालन गर्न तिनीहरू सावधान भए भने, मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको देशबाट तिनीहरूका खुट्टालाई फेरि यताउता घुमफिर गर्ने म पार्नेछैनँ ।”
I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
9 तर मानिसहरूले यो कुरा सुनेनन्, र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूकै सामु परमप्रभुले नष्ट गर्नुभएका जातिहरूले भन्दा बढी खराब काम गर्न मनश्शेले तिनीहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरे ।
But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले आफ्ना सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा यसो भन्नुभयो,
Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 “यहूदाका राजा मनश्शेले यी घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू गरेको छ र तिनीभन्दा अगिका एमोरीहरूले गरेको भन्दा बढी खराब गरेको छ र यहूदालाई आफ्ना मूर्तिहरूले पाप गर्न लगाएको छ,
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;
12 त्यसकारण इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, मैले यरूशलेम र यहूदामा यस्तो खराबी ल्याउन लागेको छु, कि जसले यसको बारेमा सुन्छ त्यसका दुवै कानमा गुञ्जन हुनेछ ।
therefore Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
13 मैले सामरियाको विरुद्धमा प्रयोग गरेको नाप्ने टाँगो र आहाबको घरानाको विरुद्धमा प्रयोग गरेको साहुलले म यरूशलेमलाई नाप्नेछु । जसरी एक जना मानिसले थाललाई माझेर त्यसलाई घोप्टो पार्छ, त्यसरी नै म यरूशलेमलाई सफा पार्नेछु ।
I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 मेरो उत्तराधिकारका बाँकी रहेकाहरूलाई म फल्नेछु र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना शत्रुहरूका हातमा दिनेछु । आफ्ना सबै शत्रुका लागि तिनीहरू सिकार र लुटका माल हुनेछन्,
I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,
15 किनकि तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर आएदेखि आजसम्म नै मेरो दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ, त्यही तिनीहरूले गरेका छन्, र मलाई रिस उठाएका छन् ।”
because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
16 यसबाहेक, यरूशलेमको एउटा कुनादेखि अर्को कुनासम्म मृत्युले नभरिएसम्म नै मनश्शेले धेरै निर्दोष रगत बगाए । अनि परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, यहूदालाई त्यही गर्न लगाएर तिनले गरेका पापको पनि थियो ।
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
17 मनश्शेका सम्बन्धमा भएका अरू कुरा, तिनले गरेका काम, र तिनले गरेका पाप यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18 मनश्शे आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनको आफ्नै घरको उज्जाको बगैँचामा तिनलाई गाडियो । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा आमोन राजा भए ।
Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
19 आमोनले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाइस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ मशुल्लेमेत थियो । तिनी योत्बाका हारूसकी छोरी थिइन् ।
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 तिनका पिता मनश्शेले गरेझैँ परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे ।
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
21 आमोनले आफ्ना पिताका सबै चालको अनुसरण गरे र आफ्ना पिताले पुजेका मूर्तिहरूको पुजा गरे र तिनीहरूका सामु निहुरे ।
He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;
22 आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई तिनले त्यागे, र परमप्रभुको मार्गमा हिंडेनन् ।
and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh.
23 आमोनका सेवकहरूले राजाको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र गरे र तिनलाई आफ्नै घरमा मारे ।
The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
24 तर देशका मानिसहरूले राजा आमोनको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र गर्ने सबैलाई मारे, र तिनको ठाउँमा योशियाहलाई तिनीहरूले राजा बनाए ।
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
25 आमोनले गरेका अरू कुराहरूका विषयमा के ती यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 मानिसहरूले तिनलाई उज्जाको बगैँचामा तिनकै चिहानमा गाडे, र तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा योशियाह राजा भए ।
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
