2 Kings 17-18 King James Version (KJV) 17 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. 2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him. 3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents. 4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. 5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. 6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 7 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, 8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. 9 And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: 11 And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the Lord carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger: 12 For they served idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. 13 Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them. 16 And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. 17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. 19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 20 And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. 21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord, and made them sin a great sin. 22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; 23 Until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. 24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. 25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slew some of them. 26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land. 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land. 28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord. 29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. 30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 32 So they feared the Lord, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. 33 They feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. 34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; 35 With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: 36 But the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. 37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. 38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. 39 But the Lord your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. 41 So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day. 18 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. 2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. 3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father did. 4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. 5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. 6 For he clave to the Lord, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses. 7 And the Lord was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 8 He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it. 10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes: 12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them. 13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. 14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house. 16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. 17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field. 18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? 21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. 22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the Lord our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem? 23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. 24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? 25 Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall. 27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you? 28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria: 29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand: 30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern: 32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The Lord will deliver us. 33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand? 35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand? 36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. 37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

2 राजा 17 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) होशे इस्राएलमा आफ्नो शासन शुरू गर्छन् 17 एलाका छोरा होशेले सामरियामा इस्राएलमाथि शासन शुरू गरे। यो समय यहूदाका राजा आहाजको शासनकालको 12 औं बर्ष थियो। होशेले नौं बर्ष शासन गरे। 2 होशेले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले भूल भन्नुभएको थियो। तर होशे अघि शासन गर्ने इस्राएलका राजाहरू जस्तो खराब थिएनन्। 3 अश्शूरका राजा शलमनेसेर होशेको विरोधमा युद्ध गर्न आए। शलमनेसेरले होशेलाई पराजित गरे अनि होशे उनको सेवक भए। यस प्रकार होशेले शलमनेसेरलाई कर तिर्न थाले। 4 पछि होशेले मिश्रका राजालाई मद्दत माग्न दूत पठाए। त्यस राजाको नाउँ सो थियो। त्यस बर्ष होशेले अश्शूरका राजालाई प्रत्येक बर्ष दिए जस्तै कर दिएनन्। अश्शूरका राजाले थाहपाए, होशेले उनको विरोधमा षड्यन्त्र रचेका छन्। यस कारण अश्शूरका राजाले होशेलाई बन्दी बनाए अनि जेलमा थुने। 5 अश्शूरका राजाले इस्राएलमा धेरै ठाउँहरूमा आक्रमण गरे। त्यसपछि तिनी सामरिया आए। उनले सामरियाको विरोधमा तीन बर्ष युद्ध गरे। 6 अश्शूरका राजाले इस्राएलका राजा होशेको नवौं बर्षको अवधिमा सामरियालाई कब्जामा लिए। अश्शूरका राजाले धेरै इस्राएलीहरूलाई पक्रे र बन्दीको रूपमा अश्शूर लगे। उनले तिनीहरूलाई हलहमा गोजान, नदीको किनार हाबोर र माहीहरूका शहरहरूमा छोडी दिए। 7 यस्ता घटनाहरू भए किनभने इस्राएलीहरूले परमप्रभु तिनीहरूको परमेश्वरको विरूद्धमा पाप काम गरेका थिए। जसले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्र भूमिबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउनु भएको थियो। परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रका राजा फिरऊनको कब्जाबाट बचाउनुभएको थियो। तर इस्राएलीहरूले अरू देवताहरूको पूजा गर्न थाले। 8 तिनीहरू त्यही कुराहरू गर्न थाले जो अरू मानिसहरू गर्दथे। र परमप्रभुले ती मानिसहरूलाई भूमि छोड्न वाध्य गराए जब इस्राएलीहरू आए। इस्राएलीहरूका राजाहरूले पनि तिनीहरूलाई गलत काम गर्न लगायो। 9 इस्राएलीहरूले लुकेर आफ्ना परमेश्वरको विरोधमा कामहरू गर्न थाले। अनि ती कामहरू झूटा थिए। इस्राएलीहरूले सानो शहरदेखि ठूलो शहरसम्म सबै शहरहरूमा अग्ला ठाउँहरू बनाए। 10 इस्राएलीहरूले प्रत्येक अग्लो पहाडमाथि अनि प्रत्येक हरियो रूखमुनि स्मारक ढुङ्गा अशेर खाँबो खडा गरे। 11 इस्राएलीहरू ती सबै पूजा स्थलहरूमा धूपबलि बाल्ने गर्दथे। तिनीहरूले यी कामहरू ती राष्ट्रहरू जस्तै गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले उनीहरूको सामुने देश त्याग्न वाध्य गराउनुभएको थियो। इस्राएलीहरूले दुष्ट कामहरू गरे जसले परमप्रभुलाई रीस उठायो। 12 तिनीहरूले देवमूर्तिहरूको सेवा गरे। अनि परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूलाई भन्नुभएको थियो, “तिमीले यस्तो काम गर्नु हुँदैन।” 13 परमप्रभुले प्रत्येक अगमवक्ता र दर्शीलाई प्रयोग गरेर इस्राएल र यहूदालाई चेताउनी दिनुभएको थियो। परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले गरेको नीच कामबाट टाढा बस। मेरा आदेश र विधिहरू पालन गर। सबै नियमहरू पालन गर जो मैले तिम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको थिएँ। मैले यो नियम तिमीलाई दिनका लागि मेरा सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूलाई काममा लगाएँ।” 14 तर मानिसहरूले सुनेनन्। तिनीहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरू जस्तै ढीठ थिए। तिनका पुर्खाहरूले आफ्नो परमेश्वरमाथि विश्वास गरेनन् 15 मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको नियम र पुर्खाहरूसँग भएको उहाँको करार मान्न स्वीकारेनन्। तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको चेताउनी सुन्न तयार भएनन्। तिनीहरूले देवमूर्तिहरूको पूजा गरे जो कामै नलाग्ने थिए अनि तिनीहरू आफैं पनि काम नलाग्ने भए। तिनीहरू आफ्ना वरिपरि भएका राष्ट्रहरूका मानिसहरू जस्तै जीवन यापन गर्न थाले। तिनीहरूले त्यस्तै खराब कामहरू गरे। अनि परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई चेताउनी दिनुभएको थियो। परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई त्यस्ता खराब कामहरू नगर्नु भन्नुभएको थियो। 16 मानिसहरूले आफ्ना परमेश्वरको आदेश अनुशरण गर्न बन्द गरे। तिनीहरूले दुइवटा सुनको बाछाका मूर्तिहरू बनाए। तिनीहरूले अशेरा खाँबो बनाए। तिनीहरूले आकाशका सबै ताराहरूको पूजा गरे अनि बालको सेवा गरे। 17 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना छोरा छोरीहरू आगोमा बलि दिए। तिनीहरूले भविष्यको जानकारी प्राप्तका लागि तंत्र-मंत्र जादू-प्रेत, विद्याको प्रयोग गरे। तिनीहरूले त्यस्तो काम गर्नका लागि आफूलाई बेचे जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नुभएको थियो। तिनीले यस्तो काम परमप्रभुको रीस जगाउनका लागि गरे। 18 यस कारण परमप्रभु इस्राएलमाथि साह्रै रिसाउनुभयो अनि आफ्नो नजर देखि टाढामा राख्नुभयो। यहूदाका परिवार समूहबाहेक कोही इस्राएली रहेको थिएन। यहूदाका मानिसहरू पनि दोषी छन् 19 तर यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आफ्ना परमप्रभुको आदेश पालन गरेनन्। यहूदाका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू जस्तै जीवन यापन गरे। 20 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई अस्वीकार गर्नुभयो। उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि धेरै सङ्कटहरू ल्याउनुभयो अनि, अन्तमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर फ्याँकी दिनुभयो अनि आफ्नो नजरबाट बाहिर राख्नुभयो। 21 परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई दाऊदको परिवारबाट छुट्ट्याउनुभयो अनि इस्राएलीहरूले नाबातका छोरा योरोवामलाई आफ्नो राजा बनाए। यारोवामले इस्राएलीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको अनुशरण गर्न नदिएर टाढ राखे यारोवामले इस्राएलीहरूलाई ठुलो पाप गर्न लगाए। 22 यस प्रकार इस्राएलीहरूले सबै पाप कामहरू अनुशरण गरे जो यारोबामले गरे। तिनीहरूले ती पाप कामहरू परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई नजरबाट पर नगरून्जेल सम्म बन्द गरेनन्। 23 अनि परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो यस्तो हुनेछ। उहाँले आफ्ना अगमवक्ताहरू मानिसहरूलाई यस्तो भन्न पठाउनुभयो। यसकारण इस्राएलीहरूलाई आफ्नो देशबाट बाहिर अश्शूर पुर्याइयो अनि तिनीहरू आजसम्म त्यहीं छन्। सामरियेली मानिसहरूको शुरूआत 24 अश्शूरका राजाले इस्राएलीहरूलाई सामरियाबाट बाहिर लगे। त्यसपछि अश्शूरका राजाले बाबेल कूता, अब्बा, हमात र सपर्वेमबाट मानिसहरू ल्याए। उनले ती मानिसहरूलाई सामरियामा बस्न लगाए। ती मानिसहरूले सामरियामा अधिकार जमाए अनि वरिपरि शहरहरूमा बस्न थाले। 25 जब ती मानिसहरू सामरियामा बस्न थाले। तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको सम्मान गरेनन्। यसकारण परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमाथि आक्रमण गराउन सिंहहरू पठाउनुभयो। ती सिंहहरूले ती मानिसहरूमध्ये केहीलाई मारे। 26 केही मानिसहरूले अश्शूका राजालाई भने, “ती मानिसहरू जसलाई तिमीले लग्यौ अनि सामरियाका शहरहरूमा बस्न लगायौ। त्यस देशका देवताको नियमहरू जान्दैनन्। यसकारण देवताले तिनीहरूमाथि आक्रमण गराउन सिंहहरू पठाए। सिंहहरूले ती मानिसहरूलाई मारे किन भने तिनीहरू त्यस देशका देवताको नियम जान्दैन थिए।” 27 यसकारण अश्शूरका राजाले यस्तो आदेश दिएः “तिमीले सामरियाबाट केही पूजाहारी ल्याउ। ती पूजाहारीहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई पठाऊ जसलाई बन्दी बनाएर सामरिया लगेको थिए। त्यो पूजाहारी जाओस् अनि त्यहीं बसोस। तर त्यस पूजाहारीले मानिसहरूलाई त्यस देशको देवताको नियम पढाउन सक्नेछन्।” 28 यसकारण पूजाहारीहरूमध्ये एक जना जसलाई अश्शूरीहरूले सामरियाबाट ल्याएका थिए,उनी बेतेलमा बस्न आए। यस पूजाहारीले मानिसहरूलाई कसरी तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ बताए। 29 तर ती सबै मानिसहरूले आ-आफ्नो देवताहरू बनाए अनि अग्लो ठाउँहरूमा भएका मन्दिरहरूमा तिनीहरूलाई स्थापित गरे जो सामरीहरूले बनाएका थिए। ती मानिसहरूलाई यस्तै गरे जहाँ-जहाँ तिनीहरू बस्थे। 30 बाबेलका मानिसहरूले झूटा देवता सुक्कोत-बनोत बनाए। कूतका मानिसहरूले झूटा देवता नेगेल बनाए। हमातका मानिसहरूले झूटा देवता अशीमा बनाए। 31 अब्बाका मानिसहरूले झूटा देवता नेभज र तर्ताक बनाए अनि सपर्वेका मानिसहरूले आफ्ना झूटा देवताहरूको सम्मान गर्नका लागि आफ्ना नानीहरू आगोमा जलाए। झूटा देवताहरू अद्रमेलेक र अनमेलेक थिए। 32 तर ती मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको पनि आराधना गरे। तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूबाट अग्ला पूजा स्थलका लागि पूजाहारीहरू रोजे। ती पूजाहारीहरूले ती पूजा स्थलहरूमा मन्दिरभित्र मानिसहरूका लागि बलि दिए। 33 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको आदर गरे तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताहरूको पनि सेवा गरे। ती मानिसहरू आफ्ना देवताहरूको सेवा त्यसरी नै गर्दथे जसरी तिनीहरू ती देशमा गर्दथे जहाँबाट तिनीहरूलाई ल्याइयो। 34 आजसम्म ती मानिसहरू त्यसरी बस्छन् जसरी तिनीहरू अतीतमा बसेका थिए। तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको डर मान्छन् नत भक्ति नै गर्छन्। तिनीहरूले नियमको, निर्देशन, व्यवस्था अथवा आदेशहरू जुन परमप्रभुले याकूबको सन्तानहरूलाई दिएको थियो पालन गर्देनन्। 35 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसँग एउटा करार गर्नुभयो। परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आदेश दिनुभयो, “तिमीहरूले अरू देवताहरूको आदर नगर। तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको पूजा गर्नु हुँदैन, सेवा गर्नु हुँदैन अथवा बलि चढाउनु हुँदैन। 36 तर तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको अनुशरण गर्नु पर्छ। परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले तिमीलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो। परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई बचाउनका लागि आफ्नो महाशक्ति प्रयोग गर्नुभयो। तिमीले परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्नुपर्छ अनि उहाँका लागि बलि चढाउनु पर्छ। 37 तिमीले विधिहरू, नियमहरू, उपदेशहरू तथा आदेश पालन गर्नु पर्छ जो उहाँले तिम्रो निम्ति लेख्नुभएको थियो। तिमीले यी कुराहरू सधैँ हर समय पालन गर्नु पर्छ। तिमीले अरू देवताहरूको आदर गर्नुहुँदैन। 38 तिमीले त्यो करार बिर्सिनु हुँदैन जो मैले तिमीहरूसित गरेको थिएँ। तिमीले अरू देवताहरूको आदर गर्नुहुँदैन। 39 तिमीले परमप्रभु तिनीहरूको परमेश्वरको मात्र डर मान्नु पर्छ अनि आदर गर्नुपर्छ। तब उहाँले तिमीलाई तिम्रा सबै शत्रुहरूबाट बचाउनु हुनेछ।” 40 तर इस्राएलीहरूले सुनेनन्। तिनीहरू त्यही कामहरू गरिनैरहे जस्तो पहिला गर्दथे। 41 यस प्रकार अहिले अरू राष्ट्रहरू परमप्रभुको सम्मान गर्छन् तर तिनीहरू आफ्ना देवताका मूर्तिहरूको पनि सेवा गर्दछन्। तिनका छोरा-छोरी र नाता नातिनीहरू त्यही काम गर्छन जो उनका पुर्खाहरू गर्दथे। तिनीहरू अझै पनि ती कामहरू गर्छन्।
