He laid siege to the fortified cities, thinking to conquer them for himself. 2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to wage war against Jerusalem, 3 he consulted with his officials and military staff about blocking off the water from the springs outside the city, and they helped him. 4 They gathered a large group of people who blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings[a] of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said. 5 Then he worked hard repairing all the broken sections of the wall and building towers on it. He built another wall outside that one and reinforced the terraces[b] of the City of David. He also made large numbers of weapons and shields. 6 He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate and encouraged them with these words: 7 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. 8 With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said. 9 Later, when Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces were laying siege to Lachish, he sent his officers to Jerusalem with this message for Hezekiah king of Judah and for all the people of Judah who were there: 10 “This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: On what are you basing your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege? 11 When Hezekiah says, ‘The Lord our God will save us from the hand of the king of Assyria,’ he is misleading you, to let you die of hunger and thirst. 12 Did not Hezekiah himself remove this god’s high places and altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before one altar and burn sacrifices on it’? 13 “Do you not know what I and my predecessors have done to all the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of those nations ever able to deliver their land from my hand? 14 Who of all the gods of these nations that my predecessors destroyed has been able to save his people from me? How then can your god deliver you from my hand? 15 Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you and mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my predecessors. How much less will your god deliver you from my hand!” 16 Sennacherib’s officers spoke further against the Lord God and against his servant Hezekiah. 17 The king also wrote letters ridiculing the Lord, the God of Israel, and saying this against him: “Just as the gods of the peoples of the other lands did not rescue their people from my hand, so the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my hand.” 18 Then they called out in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to terrify them and make them afraid in order to capture the city. 19 They spoke about the God of Jerusalem as they did about the gods of the other peoples of the world—the work of human hands. 20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer to heaven about this. 21 And the Lord sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and the commanders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons, his own flesh and blood, cut him down with the sword. 22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them[c] on every side. 23 Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah. From then on he was highly regarded by all the nations. 24 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign. 25 But Hezekiah’s heart was proud and he did not respond to the kindness shown him; therefore the Lord’s wrath was on him and on Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Then Hezekiah repented of the pride of his heart, as did the people of Jerusalem; therefore the Lord’s wrath did not come on them during the days of Hezekiah. 27 Hezekiah had very great wealth and honor, and he made treasuries for his silver and gold and for his precious stones, spices, shields and all kinds of valuables. 28 He also made buildings to store the harvest of grain, new wine and olive oil; and he made stalls for various kinds of cattle, and pens for the flocks. 29 He built villages and acquired great numbers of flocks and herds, for God had given him very great riches. 30 It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Gihon spring and channeled the water down to the west side of the City of David. He succeeded in everything he undertook. 31 But when envoys were sent by the rulers of Babylon to ask him about the miraculous sign that had occurred in the land, God left him to test him and to know everything that was in his heart. 32 The other events of Hezekiah’s reign and his acts of devotion are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 33 Hezekiah rested with his ancestors and was buried on the hill where the tombs of David’s descendants are. All Judah and the people of Jerusalem honored him when he died. And Manasseh his son succeeded him as king. 33 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, following the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. 4 He built altars in the temple of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” 5 In both courts of the temple of the Lord, he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his children in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger. 7 He took the image he had made and put it in God’s temple, of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever. 8 I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land I assigned to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and regulations given through Moses.” 9 But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites. 10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. 11 So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon. 12 In his distress he sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God. 23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you, 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord’s people there. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem. 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings. 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ. 30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. 31 Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people there, 32 so that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed. 33 The God of peace be with you all. Amen. 16 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[a][b] of the church in Cenchreae. 2 I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me. 3 Greet Priscilla[c] and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus. 4 They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. 5 Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among[d] the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was. 8 Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys. 16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. 17 Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. 18 Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. 19 See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! 20 Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. 21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord,[a] is in you. 22 Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles! 16 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider. 17 Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel. 18 Plans are established by seeking advice; so if you wage war, obtain guidance.

2 इतिहास 32Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) अश्शूरका राजाले हिजकियाहलाई सताउँछन् 32 हिजकियाहले यी सबै कुराहरू विश्वास पूर्वक गरि सकेपछि, अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब यहूदा देश माथि आक्रमण गर्न आए। सनहेरीब अनि तिनका सेनाले किल्लाका बाहिर छाउनी बसाए। तिनले यसो गरे जसमा कि ती शहरहरूलाई परास्त गर्नका निम्ति तिनले योजना बनाउन सकून्। सनहेरीब ती शहरहरूलाई आफ्नै निम्ति जित्न चाहन्थे। 2 हिजकियाहले जान्दथे कि सनहेरीब यरूशलेममा यसलाई आक्रमण गर्न आएको हो। 3 तब हिजकियाहले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरू अनि सैनिक अधिकारीहरू सित कुरा-कानी गरे। तिनीहरू सबै शहर बाहिरका जल स्रोतका पानी रोकि दिन सहमत भए। ती अधिकारीहरू अनि सैन्य अधिकारीहरूले हिजकियाहलाई सहयोग गरे। 4 धेरै मानिसहरू साथ आए अनि सबै जल-स्रोत अनि देशको मध्य भागबाट बग्ने खोलालाई बन्द गरिदिए। तिनीहरूले भने, “अश्शूरका राजाले अधिक पानी पाउने छैन जब तिनी यहाँ आउँछन्।” 5 हिजकियाहले यरूशलेमलाई अझ अधिक सुदृढ बनाए। तिनले यो काम यसरी गरेः तिनले पर्खालका सबै अंशहरू फेरि बनाए जो भत्किएका थिए। तिनले पर्खाल माथि किल्लाहरू बनाए। तिनले पहिलो पर्खालको बाहिर पट्टि अर्को पर्खाल पनि निर्माण गरे। तिनले यरूशलेमको पुरानो अंशको पूर्व तिरको सुदृढ स्थानहरूलाई फेरि निर्माण गरे। तिनले अनेक हतियारहरू अनि ढालहरू बनाए। 6-7 हिजकियाहले युद्धका अधिकारीहरूलाई मानिसहरू प्रति जिम्मावार रहनुका निम्ति चुने। तिनले यी अधिकारीहरूसित शहर द्वार नजिकको खुल्ला स्थानमा भेट गरे। हिजकियाहले ती अधिकारीहरूसित कुरा-कानी गरे अनि तिनीहरूलाई उत्सहित तुल्याए। तिनले भने, “बलियो र साहसी होऊ। अश्शूरका राजा वा तिनीसित भएका विशाल सेनासित नडराऊ वा चिन्ता नगर। अश्शूरका राजा जो तिनीसित भएको शक्ति भन्दा हामीसित महान शक्ति छ। 8 अश्शूरका राजाका मानिसहरू मात्र छन्। तर हामी सित परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर साथ हुनुहुन्छ। हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई सहायता गर्नु हुने छ। हाम्रा लडाईहरू उहाँले लडी दिनु हुनेछ।” यसरी यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाहले मानिसहरूलाई उत्साह दिए अनि तिनीहरूलाई शक्तिशाली अनुभव गराए। 9 अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब अनि तिनका सबै सेनाहरू लाकीश शहरको नजिकमा छाउनी लाएर बसेका थिए जसमा कि तिनीहरूले यसलाई परास्त गर्न सकून्। तब सनहेरीबले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरूलाई यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाह अनि यरूशलेमका सबै मानिसहरूका निम्ति सनहेरीबाका अधिकारीहरूसित संन्देश थियो। 10 तिनीहरूले भने, “अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब यसो भन्नु हुन्छ, ‘तिमीहरू के कुरामा विश्वास गर्छौ जसले तिमीहरूलाई युद्धको स्थितिमा पनि यरूशलेममा बसिरहन सिकायौ? 11 हिजकियाहले तिमीहरूलाई मूर्ख बनाउँदै छन्। तिमीहरूलाई छल गरेर यरूशलेममा बसिरहन लाएका छन् जसमा कि तिमीहरू भोक र तिर्खाद्वारा मर्ने छौ। हिजकियाहले तिमीहरूलाई भन्छन्, “परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई अश्शूरका राजा देखि बचाउँनु हुन्छ।” 12 हिजकियाह आफैंले परमप्रभुको उच्च स्थानहरू अनि वेदीहरू हटाए। तिनले तिमी यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई भने कि तिमीहरूले केवल एउटा वेदीमा मात्र पूजा गर्नु पर्छ अनि धूप बाल्नु पर्छ। 13 निश्चय नै तिमीहरू जान्दछौ कि मेरा पुर्खाहरू अनि मैले अन्य देशका मानिसहरू प्रति के गरेका छु? अन्य देशहरूका देवताहरूले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई बचाउँन सकेनन्। ती देवाताहरूले तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूलाई नष्ट गर्न देखि मलाई रोक्न सकेनन्। 14 मेरा पुर्खाहरूले ती देशहरूलाई ध्वंश गरे। कुनै यस्तो देवता छैन जसले मलाई उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई नष्ट गर्न देखि रोक्न सक्छन्। यसर्थ तिम्रो देवताले तिमीहरूलाई म बाट बचाउँन सक्छन् भनी तिमी सोच्छौ? 15 हिजकियाहलाई तिमीहरूले मूर्ख तुल्याउन वा तिमीहरूलाई छल्न नदेऊ। तिनी प्रति विश्वास नगर किनभने कुनै राष्ट्र वा राज्यका कुनै पनि देवता आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई म वा मेरा पुर्खाहरूबाट बचाउँन कहिले पनि समर्थ भएनन्। यसर्थ तिम्रा देवताले तिमीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्न बाट मलाई रोक्न सक्छन् भनी नसोच।’” 16 अश्शूरका राजाका अधिकारीहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको विरूद्ध अनि परमेश्वरका सेवक हिजकियाहको विरूद्ध अत्यन्त नराम्रा कुराहरू भने। 17 अश्शूरका राजाले पत्रहरू पनि लेखे जसमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको अपमान गरिएको थियो। यी शब्दहरू अश्शूरका राजाद्वारा पत्रहरूमा भनेको थिएः “अन्य राष्ट्रहरूका देवताहरूले तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूलाई ध्वंश गर्नबाट मलाई रोक्न सकेनन्। यस्तै प्रकारले हिजकियाहका परमेश्वरले उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई ध्वंश गर्नबाट मलाई रोक्न समर्थ हुने छैनन्।” 18 तब अश्शूरका राजाका अधिकारीहरूले यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई जोडले कराए जो शहरका पर्खालमा थिए। ती अधिकारीले हिब्रू भाषा प्रयोग। गरे जब तिनीहरू माथि भएका मानिसहरू प्रति कराए। अश्शूरका राजाका ती अधिकारीहरूले यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई भयभीत तुल्याउन भनी यसो गरे। तिनीहरूले ती कुराहरू भने जसद्वारा तिनीहरू यरूशलेम शहरलाई कब्जा गर्न सकुन्। 19 ती अधिकारीहरूले संसारका मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने देवताहरूको विरूद्ध नराम्रा कुराहरू भने। ती देवताहरू केवल मानिसहरूले अफ्ना हातहरूद्वारा बनाएका कुराहरू हुन्। त्यही प्रकारले, ती अधिकारीहरूले त्यस्तै नराम्रा कुराहरू यरूशलेमका परमेश्वरको विरूद्ध भने। 20 राजा हिजकियाह अनि अगमवक्ता यशौया-आमोसका छोराले यो समस्याको विषयमा प्रार्थना गरे। तिनीहरूले ठूलो आवाजमा स्वर्गतिर हेरेर प्रार्थना गरे। 21 तब परमप्रभुले अश्शूरका राजाको छाउनीमा एक स्वर्गदूतलाई पठाउनु भयो। त्यो स्वर्गदूतले अश्शूरी सेनाका सबै सैनिकहरू अनि प्रमुखहरू र अधिकारीहरूलाई मारिदिए। यसर्थ अश्शूरका राजा आफ्नै देशतर्फ फर्किए, अनि तिनका मानिसहरू तिनी प्रति लज्जित थिए। तिनी आफ्ना देवताको मन्दिर भित्र गए अनि तिनका आफ्नै केही छोराहरूले तिनलाई त्यही तरवारद्वारा मारिदिए। 22 यसरी परमप्रभुले हिजकियाह अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब अनि सबै अन्य मानिसहरूबाट बचाउँनु भयो। परमप्रभुले हिजकियाह अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूको हेरचाह गरिदिनु भयो। 23 धेरै मानिसहरूले यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुका निम्ति उपहारहरू ल्याए अनि यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाहका निम्ति मूल्यवान वस्तुहरू ल्याए। त्यस समयदेखि सबै राष्ट्रहरूले हिजकियाहलाई सम्मान गरे। 24 ती दिनहरूमा हिजकियाह साह्रै बिरामी भए अनि मृत्युको नजिक पुगे। तिनले परमप्रभुलाई प्रार्थना गरे। परमप्रभु हिजकियाहसित बोल्नु भयो अनि तिनलाई संकेत दिनु भयो। 25 तर हिजकियाहको हृदय घमण्डले भरिएको थियो, यसर्थ तिनले परमेश्वरको दयालुपन प्रति परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाएनन्। यसै कारणले गर्दा परमेश्वर हिजकियाह अनि यहूदा र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू प्रति क्रोधित हुनु भयो। 26 तर हिजकियाह अनि यरूशलेममा बस्ने ती मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूको हृदय र जीवनलाई परिवर्त्तन गरे। तिनीहरू नम्र भए र घमण्ड गर्न छोडे त्यसकारण हिजकियाह जीवित रहेसम्म परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि परेन। 27 हिजकियाहसित धेरै धन अनि सम्मान थिए। तिनले चाँदी, सुन, मूल्यवान रत्न, मसाला, ढाल अनि सबै किसिमका चीजहरू राख्ने स्थानहरू बनाए। 28 हिजकियाहका अन्न, नयाँ दाख मद्य अनि तेलहरू, ती मानिसहरूले पठाएका वस्तुहरू, राख्ने भंण्डारहरू थिए। तिनका सबै किसिमका पशुहरू राख्ने पशुशालाहरू अनि भेंडाहरू राख्ने खर्कहरू थिए। 29 हिजकियाहले अनेक शहरहरू पनि निर्माण गरे अनि तिनले धेरै भेंडा अनि गाई बस्तुहरूका बथानहरू पनि प्राप्त गरे। परमेश्वरले हिजकियाहलाई धेरै धन-सम्पत्ति दिनु भयो। 30 यो हिजकियाह नै थिए जसले यरूशलेममा गीहोन जल स्रोतको माथिल्लो स्रोत बन्द गरिदिए अनि ती पानीलाई दाऊदको शहरको पश्चिम तर्फ बगेर जाने तुल्याए। अनि तिनले गरेका हरेक कुरामा हिजकियाह सफल रहे। 31 एक समयमा बाबेलका प्रमुखहरूले हिजकियाह कहाँ दूतहरू पठाए। ती दूतहरूले एक अद्भूत संकेतको बारेमा सोधे जो राष्ट्रहरूमा प्रकट भएको थियो। जब तिनीहरू आए, परमेश्वरले तिनको परिक्षा गर्न अनि हिजकियाहको मनमा के छ ती सबै जान्नका निम्ति हिजकियाहलाई एक्लै छाड्नु भयो। 32 हिजकियाहले गरेका अन्य कुराहरू र उनको परमेश्वर प्रतिको विश्वासयोग्यता, आमोसका छोरो यशैया अगमवक्ताको दर्शन भनिने पुस्तक अनि यहूदा अनि इस्राएलका राजाहरूका इतिहास भनिने पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन्। 33 हिजकियाहको मृत्यु भयो अनि आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित गाडिए। मानिसहरूले हिजकियाहलाई डाँडामा गाडे जहाँ दाऊदका पुर्खाहरूका चिहानहरू छन्। यहूदाका अनि यरूशलेममा बस्ने सबै मानिसहरूले हिजकियाहलाई सम्मान प्रदान गरे जब तिनको मृत्यु भयो। मनश्शे हिजकियाहका स्थानमा नयाँ राजा भए। मनश्शे हिजकियाहका छोरा थिए।
