2 Kings 21 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Manasseh Begins His Evil Rule Over Judah 21 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to rule. He ruled 55 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. 2 Manasseh did what the Lord said was wrong. He did the terrible things the other nations did. (And the Lord forced those nations to leave their country when the Israelites came.) 3 Manasseh rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He also built altars for Baal and made an Asherah pole, just as King Ahab of Israel had done. Manasseh worshiped and served the stars of heaven. 4 He built altars to honor false gods in the Lord’s Temple. (This is the place the Lord was talking about when he said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”) 5 Manasseh built altars for the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the Lord’s Temple. 6 He sacrificed his own son and burned him on the altar. He used different ways of trying to know the future. He visited mediums and wizards. Manasseh did more and more things that the Lord saw as evil, which made the Lord angry. 7 Manasseh made a carved statue of Asherah. He put this statue in the Temple. The Lord had said to David and to David’s son Solomon about this Temple: “I have chosen Jerusalem from all the cities in Israel. I will put my name in the Temple in Jerusalem forever. 8 I will not cause the Israelites to leave the land that I gave to their ancestors. I will let the people stay in their land if they obey everything I commanded them and all the teachings that my servant Moses gave them.” 9 But the people did not listen to God. Manasseh did more evil things than all the nations that lived in Canaan before Israel came. And the Lord destroyed those nations when the Israelites came to take their land. 10 The Lord used his servants the prophets to say this: 11 “King Manasseh of Judah has done these hated things and has done more evil than the Amorites before him. He also has caused Judah to sin because of his idols. 12 So the Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘Look! I will bring so much trouble against Jerusalem and Judah that anyone who hears about it will be shocked. 13 I will stretch the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of Ahab’s family over Jerusalem. A man wipes a dish, and then he turns it upside down. I will do that to Jerusalem. 14 There will still be a few of my people left, but I will leave them. I will give them to their enemies. Their enemies will take them as prisoners—they will be like the valuable things soldiers take in war. 15 This is because my people did what I said was wrong. They have made me angry with them since the day their ancestors came up out of Egypt. 16 And Manasseh killed many innocent people. He filled Jerusalem from one end to another with blood. And all these sins are in addition to the sins that caused Judah to sin. Manasseh caused Judah to do what the Lord said was wrong.’” 17 All the things that Manasseh did, including the sins that he committed, are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah. 18 Manasseh died and was buried with his ancestors. He was buried in the garden at his house. It was called the “Garden of Uzza.” His son Amon became the new king after him. Amon’s Short Rule 19 Amon was 22 years old when he began to rule. He ruled two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz from Jotbah. 20 Amon did what the Lord said was wrong, just as his father Manasseh had done. 21 Amon lived just as his father had lived. He worshiped and served the same idols his father had worshiped. 22 Amon left the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and did not live the way the Lord wanted. 23 Amon’s servants made plans against him and killed him in his palace. 24 The common people killed all the officers who made plans against King Amon. Then the people made Amon’s son Josiah the new king after him. 25 The other things that Amon did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah. 26 Amon was buried in his grave at the Garden of Uzza. His son Josiah became the new king.

2 राजा 21Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) मनश्शे यहूदामा कुशासन शुरू गर्छन् 21 मनश्शे बाह्र बर्षका थिए जब उनले शासन शुरू गरे। उनले यरूशलेममा 55 बर्ष शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ हेप्सीबा थियो। 2 मनश्शेले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नुभएको थियो। मनश्शेले अरू मानिसहरूले गरे जस्तै डरलाग्दा कामहरू गरे। (अनि परमप्रभुले ती राष्ट्रहरूलाई आफ्ना देश छोड्नु वाध्य गराउनुभयो जब इस्राएलीहरू आए।) 3 मनश्शेले अग्लाठाउँहरू फेरि बनाए जसलाई उनका पिताले भत्काएका थिए। मनश्शेले बालका लागि वेदीहरू पनि बनाए अनि अशेरा खाँबो निर्माण गरे जसरी इस्राएलका राजाले गरेका थिए। मनश्शेले आकाशका ताराहरूको पूजा गरे अनि सेवा गरे। 4 मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा असत्य देवताहरूको पूजा गर्न वेदीहरू बनाए। (यो त्यही ठाउँ हो जसको बारेमा परमप्रभु बोल्नु हुन्थ्यो जब उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “म मेरो नाउँ यरूशलेममा राख्नेछु।”) 5 मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको दुइवटा आँगनमा अकाशका ताराहरूका लागि वेदीहरू बनाए। 6 मनश्शेले आफ्नो छोराको बलि दिए अनि यसलाई वेदीमाथि जलाए। मनश्शेले भविष्य जान्नकालागि धेरै तरीकाहरू प्रयोग गरे। उनले भूत-प्रेत र पिशाचहरूसँग समर्पक राख्ने मानिसहरू अनि तंत्र-मंत्रगर्नेहरूलाई भेटे। मनश्शेले ति कामहरू बढिभन्दा बढी गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नुभएको थियो। यसले परमप्रभुलाई रीस उठायो। 7 मनश्शेले अश्तारोत देवीको मूर्ति बनाए। उनले मूर्तिलाई मन्दिरमा स्थापित गरे। परमप्रभुले दाऊद दाऊदका छोरा सुलेमानलाई यस मन्दिरको विषयमा भन्नुभएको थियो, “इस्राएलका सबै शहरहरूमध्ये मैले यरूशलेमलाई चुनेको थिएँ। म यरूशलेमको मन्दिरमा आफ्नो नाउँ सदाका लागि राख्नेछु। 8 म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई कहिल्यै पनि भूमि छोड्न वाध्य गराउने छैन जुन मैले उनका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको थिएँ। म मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको आफ्नो देशमा बस्न दिनेछु यदि तिनीहरू मैले दिएको आदेशहरू पालन गर्छन् र मेरो सेवक मोशाले दिएको शिक्षा पालन गर्छन्।” 9 तर मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको कुरा सुनेनन्। मनश्शेले इस्राएली आउन अघि कनानमा बस्ने सबै राष्ट्रहरूले गरेको भन्दा बढी दुष्कर्म गरे। अनि परमप्रभुले ती राष्ट्रहरूलाई खत्तम पार्नुभयो जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू त्यो भूमिमा आए। 10 परमप्रभुले यी कुराहरू भन्नको लागि आफ्ना सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूलाई प्रयोग गर्नुभयोः 11 “यहूदाका राजा मनश्शेले उनी अघिका एमोरीहरूले भन्दा बढी घृणित र दुष्कर्म गरे। मनश्शेले देवी देवताका मूर्तिहरूले गर्दा यहूदालाई पनि पाप गर्न लगाए। 12 यसर्थ इस्राएलका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ सुन, ‘म यरूशलेम र यहूदामा धेरै सङ्कट ल्याउनेछु जसले यस विषयमा सुन्नेहरू छक्क पर्नेछ। 13 म सामरियाको नाप्ने सीमा रेखा र आहाबको परिवारलाई नाप्ने साहुल यरूशलेमसम्म फिजाउनेछु। एउटा मानिसले थाल माझ्छ र यसलाई घोप्टाउँछ। त्यतै म यरूशलेमलाई गरिदिनेछु। 14 तर म मेरो बाँकी मनिसहरूलाई छोड्नेछु। म तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुद्वारा पराजित गराउँने छु। तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बन्दी बनाउनेछन्। तिनीहरू सैनिकहरूले युद्धको बेलामा पाउने बहुमूल्य चीजहरू जस्तै हुनेछन्। 15 म यस्तो गर्नेछु किनभने मेरा मानिसहरूले मैले गल्ती हो भनेको काम गरे। तिनीहरूले मलाई रीस उठाउने काम मिश्रबाट तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू निस्केको दिनदेखि गरेका छन्। 16 अनि मनश्शेले धेरै निर्दोष मानिसहरूलाई मारे। उनले यरूशलेममा एक छेऊदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म रगतले भरे अनि ती सबै पाप कामहरूको अतिरिक्त छन् जसले यहूदालाई पाप काम गर्न लगाए। मनश्शेले यहूदालाई ती कामहरू गर्न लगाए जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नु भएको थियो।’” 17 सबै कामहरू जो मनश्शेले गरे जसमा उनले गरेको पाप कामहरू पनि छ जसको विषयमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ। 18 मनश्शेको मृत्यु भयो अनि उनलाई उनका पुर्खाहरूसँगै गाडियो। मनश्शेलेलाई उनको महलको बगैंचामा गाडियो। यसलाई, “उज्जाको बगैंचा” भनिन्थ्यो। मनश्शेका छोरा आमोन उनीपछि नयाँ राजा भए। आमोनको छोटो शासन 19 आमोन 22 बर्षका थिए जब उनले शासन शुरू गरे। उनले यरूशलेममा दुइ बर्ष शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ मशूलेमेत थियो जो योत्बाका हारूसकी छोरी थिइन्। 20 आमोनले आफ्ना पिता मनश्शे जस्तै ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नुभएको थियो। 21 आमोनले आफ्ना पिता जस्तै जीवन यापन गरे। आमोनले ती देवमूर्तीहरूको पूजा र सेवा गरे जसलाई उनका पिताले गरेका थिए। 22 आमोनले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु, परमेश्वरलाई त्यागे अनि परमप्रभुले चाहे जस्तो जीवन यापन गरेनन्। 23 आमोनका सेवकहरूले उनको विरोधमा षड्यन्त्र गरे अनि उनको आफ्नो महलमा नै उनको हत्या गरे। 24 साधारण मानिसहरूले ती सबै अधिकारीहरूको हत्या गरे जसले राजा आमोनको विरोधमा षड्यन्त्र गरेका थिए। त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले आमोनका छोरा योशियाहलाई उनीपछि नयाँ राजा बनाए। 25 आमोनले गरेको अरू कामहरूको विषयमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ। 26 आमोनलाई उज्जाका बगैंचामा उनको चिहानमा गाडियो। आमोनका छोरा योशियाह नयाँ राजा भए।
