Switch to the NIV to read along with the audio. 22 For three years Syria and Israel continued without war. 2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. 3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we keep quiet and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?” 4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.” 5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Inquire first for the word of the Lord.” 6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.” 7 But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here another prophet of the Lord of whom we may inquire?” 8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord, Micaiah the son of Imlah, but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say so.” 9 Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.” 10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting on their thrones, arrayed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them. 11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron and said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed.’” 12 And all the prophets prophesied so and said, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph; the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.” 13 And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king. Let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.” 14 But Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, what the Lord says to me, that I will speak.” 15 And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain?” And he answered him, “Go up and triumph; the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.” 16 But the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?” 17 And he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no master; let each return to his home in peace.’” 18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?” 19 And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; 20 and the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said one thing, and another said another. 21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’ 22 And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’ 23 Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the Lord has declared disaster for you.” 24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “How did the Spirit of the Lord go from me to speak to you?” 25 And Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.” 26 And the king of Israel said, “Seize Micaiah, and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son, 27 and say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this fellow in prison and feed him meager rations of bread and water, until I come in peace.”’” 28 And Micaiah said, “If you return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Hear, all you peoples!” 29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes.” And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle. 31 Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, “Fight with neither small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.” 32 And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is surely the king of Israel.” So they turned to fight against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out. 33 And when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. 34 But a certain man drew his bow at random[a] and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.” 35 And the battle continued that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, until at evening he died. And the blood of the wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot. 36 And about sunset a cry went through the army, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!” 37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria. 38 And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the Lord that he had spoken. 39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. 41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 43 He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places. 44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel. 45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 46 And from the land he exterminated the remnant of the male cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa. 47 There was no king in Edom; a deputy was king. 48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go, for the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber. 49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships,” but Jehoshaphat was not willing. 50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. 52 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 53 He served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger in every way that his father had done. 16 So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen. 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. 18 And for about forty years he put up with[a] them in the wilderness. 19 And after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. 20 All this took about 450 years. And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’ 23 Of this man's offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised. 24 Before his coming, John had proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but behold, after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’ 26 “Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, 33 this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, “‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’ 34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, “‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’ 35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, “‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’ 36 For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom God raised up did not see corruption. 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him everyone who believes is freed[b] from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. 40 Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about: 41 “‘Look, you scoffers, be astounded and perish; for I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.’” 138 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; 2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.[a] 3 On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.[b] 4 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth, 5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord. 6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. 8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. 18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

2 इतिहास 18 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) मीकायाले राजा आहाबलाई चेताउनी दिन्छन् 18 यहोशापात सित प्रशस्त धन-सम्पत्ति अनि सम्मान थियो। उसले आहाबसित उसको परिवारालाई विवाह गरेर सन्धि गरेका थिए। 2 केही बर्ष पछि, यहोशापात आहाब सित भेट गर्न सामरिया शहरमा गए। आहाबले यहोशापात अनि तिनी सित भएका मानिसहरूका निम्ति धेरै भेंडा अनि गाईहरू बलि चढाए। आहाबले रामोत गिलाद शहर माथि आक्रमण गर्न यहोशापातलाई उत्साहित तुल्याए। 3 आहाबले यहोशापातलाई भने, “तपाईं म सित रामोत गिलाद माथि आक्रमण गर्न जानु हुन्छ?” आहाब इस्राएलका राजा थिए अनि यहोशापात यहूदाका राजा थिए। यहोशापातले आहाबलाई उत्तर दिए, “म तपाईं जस्तै हुँ अनि मेरा मानिसहरू तपाईंका मानिसहरू जस्तै हुन्। हामी युद्धमा तपाईंको साथ दिनेछौं।” 4 यहोशापातले आहाबलाई यो पनि भने, “तर पहिला हामी परमप्रभुबाट संन्देश प्राप्त गरौं।” 5 यसर्थ राजा आहाबले 400 अगमवक्ताहरू एकत्रित गरे। आहाबले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी रामोत गिलाद शहरको विरूद्ध लडाई गर्न जाऊँ कि नजाऊँ?” अगमवक्ताहरूले आहाबलाई उत्तर दिए, “जानुहोस्, किनभने परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई रामोत-गिलादलाई परास्त गर्न दिनु हुनेछ।” 6 तर यहोशापातले भने, “के यहाँ परमप्रभुको अगमवक्ता कोही छन्? हामीले परमप्रभुलाई उहाँका एक अगमवक्ताद्वारा याचना गर्न आवश्यक छ।” 7 तब राजा आहाबले यहोशापातलाई भने, “यहाँ अझ पनि एक व्यक्ति छ। हामी तिनीद्वारा परमप्रभुसित सोध्न सक्छौं। तर म यो मान्छेलाई घृणा गर्छु, किनभने परमप्रभुबाट मेरो बारेमा तिनीसित असल संन्देश कहिल्यै हुँदैन। तिनीसित मेरा निम्ति सदैव नराम्रो संन्देश हुन्छ। त्यो मान्छेको नाउँ मीकाया हो। तिनी यिम्लाका छोरा हुन्।” तर यहोशापातले भने, “आहाब, तपाईंले त्यसो भन्नु हुँदैन।” 8 तब राजा आहाबले आफ्ना एक अधिकारीलाई बोलाए र भने, “चाँडो गर, यिम्लाका छोरा मीकायालाई यहाँ ल्याऊ।” 9 आहाब इस्राएलका राजा अनि यहोशापात यहूदाका राजाले आफ्ना राज-पोशाक लगाएका थिए। तिनीहरू सामरिया शहरको सामुन्नेको द्वारको नजिक ढिकीमा आफ्ना सिंहासनमा बसेका थिए। ती 400 जना अगमवक्ताहरू दुइ राजाहरूका सामुन्ने आफ्ना संन्देश भनीरहेका थिए। 10 सिदकियाह केनान नाउँका व्यक्तिका छोरा थिए। सिदकियाहले फलामका केही सींङ्गहरू बनाएका थिए। सिदकियाहले भने, “यही हो जो परमप्रभुले भन्नु हुन्छः ‘तपाईंहरूले यी फलामका सींङ्गहरू अरामी मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरू ध्वंश नहुन्जेल घोच्नलाई प्रयोग गर्नु हुनेछ।’” 11 सबै अगमवक्ताहरूले एकै कुरा भने। तिनीहरूले भने, “रामोत गिलाद शहरमा जानु होस्। तपाईंहरूले सफलता पाउनु हुनेछ अनि जित्नु हुनेछ। परमप्रभुले राजालाई अरामी मानिसहरूलाई परास्त पार्न दिनु हुनेछ।” 12 मीकायालाई लिन गएका संन्देश वाहकले तिनलाई भने, “मीकाया, सुन, सबै अगमवक्ताहरूले एकै कुरा भने। तिनीहरू राजाले सफलता प्राप्त गर्नु हुनेछ भनी भन्दै छन्। यसर्थ तिनीहरूले जे भन्दै छन् त्यही कुरा भन। तिमीले पनि राम्रो कुरा भन।” 13 तर मीकायाले भने, “परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा सत्य भएझैं म त्यही मात्र भन्न सक्छु जो मेरा परमेश्वरले भन्नु हुन्छ।” 14 तब मीकाया राजा आहाब कहाँ आए। राजाले तिनलाई भने, “मीकाया युद्ध गर्नका निम्ति हामी रामोत-गिलाद शहर जानु कि नजानु?” मीकायाले उत्तर दिए, “जानु होस् अनि आक्रमण गर्नु होस्। परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई ती मानिसहरूमाथि परास्त गर्न दिनु हुनेछ।” 15 राजा आहाबले मीकायालाई भने, “धेरै पल्ट मैले तिमीलाई परमप्रभुको नाउँमा मलाई सत्य मात्र भन भनी प्रतिज्ञा गराएको थिएँ।” 16 तब मीकायाले भने, “मैले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई पर्वतहरूमा छरिएका देखें। तिनीहरू गोठाला बिनाका भेंडाहरू जस्तै थिए। परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘तिनीहरूका कुनै अगुवा छैन। प्रत्येक व्यक्तिलाई सकुशल घर फर्किन देऊ।’” 17 आहाब, इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “मैले तपाईंलाई भनेको थिएँ कि मीकायासित परमप्रभुबाट मेरो बारेमा राम्रो संन्देश हुँदैन। तिनीसित मेरो बारेमा नराम्रो संन्देश मात्र हुन्छ।” 18 मीकायाले भने, “परमप्रभुको संन्देश सुन्नुहोस्: मैले परमप्रभुलाई उहाँको सिंहासनमा बस्नु भएको देखें। स्वर्गका सम्पूर्ण सेनाहरू उहाँका वरिपरि उभिएका थिए, कोही उहाँका देब्रेतिर कोही उहाँको दाहिनेतिर। 19 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘इस्राएलका राजा आहाबलाई रामोत गिलाद शहर माथि आक्रमण गर्न कसले फसाउँला जसमा कि तिनलाई त्यहाँ मारियोस्?’ परमप्रभुको वरिपरि उभिने विभिन्न आत्माहरूले भिन्न-भिन्न कुराहरू भने। 20 तब एउटा आत्मा आए अनि परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने उभिए। त्यो आत्माले भने, ‘आहाबलाई म छल गर्ने छु।’ परमप्रभुले त्यो आत्मालाई सोध्नु भयो, ‘कसरी?’ 21 त्यो आत्माले उत्तर दिए, ‘म बाहिर जान्छु अनि आहाबका अगमवक्ताहरूका मुखमा झूटो बोल्ने आत्मा हुनेछु।’ अनि परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘तँ आहाबलाई छल गर्नमा सफल हुनेछस्। यसर्थ बाहिर जा अनि त्यसै गर।’” 22 “अब हेर आहाब, परमप्रभुले तपाईंका अगमवक्ताहरूको मुखमा झूटो बोल्ने आत्मा हालिदिनु भएको छ। परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई नराम्रो हुनेछ भनी भन्नु भएको छ।” 23 त्यसपछि सिदकियाह मीकाया भएकहाँ गए अनि अनुहारमा हिर्काइदिए। सिदकियाहका पिताको नाउँ कनान थियो। सिदकियाहले भने, “मीकाया, परमप्रभुका आत्मा कुन बाटो गयो जब त्यो तँसित कुरागर्न म देखि गयो?” 24 मीकायाले उत्तर दिए, “सिदकियाह तिमी भित्रको एक कोठामा लुक्न गएको दिन तिमीले थाहा पाउनेछौ।” 25 तब राजा आहाबले भने, “मीकायालाई लैजाऊ अनि त्यसलाई शहरका प्रशासक आमोन अनि राजाका छोरा योआशकहाँ पठाई देऊ। 26 आमोन अनि योआशलाई भन, ‘राजा यो भन्नुहुन्छः मीकायालाई कैदखानामा हालिदेऊ। उसलाई केही नदेऊ खाली एउटा कैदीहरूलाई दिने रोटी र पानी बाहेक जबसम्म म युद्धबाट सुरक्षा सित फर्केर आउँदिन।’” 27 मीकायाले उत्तर दिए, “आहाब, यदि तपाईं युद्धबाट सुरक्षा सित फर्किएर आउनु भयो भने तब परमप्रभु मद्वारा बोल्नु भएको होइन।” उनले भने सबै तिमी मानिसहरू पनि मेरो कुरा सुन। रामोत-गिलादमा आहाब मारिए 28 यसर्थ इस्राएलका राजा आहाब अनि यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातले रामोत-गिलाद शहर माथि आक्रमण गरे। 29 राजा आहाबले यहोशापातलाई भने, “म लडाइँमा जानुको अघि आफ्नो रूप परिवर्त्तन गर्छु। तर तपाईं तपाईंको आफ्नै राज बस्त्र लगाउनु होस्।” यसर्थ आहाब इस्राएलका राजाले आफ्नो रूप परिवर्त्तन गरे अनि दुइ राजाहरू युद्धमा गए। 30 अरामका राजाले आफ्ना रथका सेनापतिहरूलाई आदेशदिए। तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कुनै व्यक्ति सित नलड चाहे जतिकै महान वा तुच्छ होस्। तर आहाब, इस्राएलका राजासित मात्र युद्ध गर।” 31 जब रथका सेनापतिहरूले यहोशापातलाई देखे तिनीहरूले ठाने, “त्यहाँ इस्राएलका राजा आहाब छन्।” तिनलाई आक्रमण गर्न तिनीहरू यहोशापात तिर फर्के। तर यहोशापात कराए अनि परमप्रभुले तिनलाई सहायता गर्नु भयो। परमेश्वरले रथका सेनापतिहरूलाई यहोशापात देखि टाढा हुन दिनु भयो। 32 जब तिनीहरूले देखे कि यहोशापात इस्राएलका राजा होइनन् तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई खेद्न छाडे। 33 तर एक सैनिकले केही कुरामा लक्ष्य नगरी आफ्ना धनुबाट एक काँढ हाने। त्यो काँढले आहाब, इस्राएलका राजालाई लाग्यो। त्यसले आहाबको कवचको खुल्ला भागमा लाग्यो। आहाबले आफ्ना रथका साराथिलाई भने, “घुम, अनि मलाई युद्धबाट बाहिर लैजाऊ। मलाई चोट लाग्यो।” 34 त्यस दिन अत्यन्त भिषण युद्ध भयो। आहाब आफैं उसको रथमा उभिए अनि साँझसम्म अरामीहरूको सामना गरिरहे। तब सूर्यास्त हुँदा, आहाबको मृत्यु भयो।
