19 When Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned safely to his palace in Jerusalem, 2 Jehu the seer, the son of Hanani, went out to meet him and said to the king, “Should you help the wicked and love[a] those who hate the Lord? Because of this, the wrath of the Lord is on you. 3 There is, however, some good in you, for you have rid the land of the Asherah poles and have set your heart on seeking God.” 4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 5 He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah. 6 He told them, “Consider carefully what you do, because you are not judging for mere mortals but for the Lord, who is with you whenever you give a verdict. 7 Now let the fear of the Lord be on you. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.” 8 In Jerusalem also, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites, priests and heads of Israelite families to administer the law of the Lord and to settle disputes. And they lived in Jerusalem. 9 He gave them these orders: “You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the Lord. 10 In every case that comes before you from your people who live in the cities—whether bloodshed or other concerns of the law, commands, decrees or regulations—you are to warn them not to sin against the Lord; otherwise his wrath will come on you and your people. Do this, and you will not sin. 11 “Amariah the chief priest will be over you in any matter concerning the Lord, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, will be over you in any matter concerning the king, and the Levites will serve as officials before you. Act with courage, and may the Lord be with those who do well.” 20 After this, the Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites[b] came to wage war against Jehoshaphat. 2 Some people came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom,[c] from the other side of the Dead Sea. It is already in Hazezon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi). 3 Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah. 4 The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek him. 5 Then Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the temple of the Lord in the front of the new courtyard 6 and said: “Lord, the God of our ancestors, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you. 7 Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend? 8 They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your Name, saying, 9 ‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.’ 10 “But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them. 11 See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance. 12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 13 All the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, stood there before the Lord. 14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite and descendant of Asaph, as he stood in the assembly. 15 He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’” 18 Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the Lord. 19 Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice. 20 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” 21 After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his[d] holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” 22 As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 23 The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another. 24 When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped. 25 So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder, and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing[e] and also articles of value—more than they could take away. There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it. 26 On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, where they praised the Lord. This is why it is called the Valley of Berakah[f] to this day. 27 Then, led by Jehoshaphat, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the Lord had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies. 28 They entered Jerusalem and went to the temple of the Lord with harps and lyres and trumpets. 29 The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. 30 And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side. 31 So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king of Judah, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi. 32 He followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. 33 The high places, however, were not removed, and the people still had not set their hearts on the God of their ancestors. 34 The other events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in the annals of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel. 35 Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, whose ways were wicked. 36 He agreed with him to construct a fleet of trading ships.[g] After these were built at Ezion Geber, 37 Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have made an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” The ships were wrecked and were not able to set sail to trade.[h] 21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.” 22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.” 25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29 Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor. 30 As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night. 31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him,[a] God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once. 33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 36 Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.” 37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

2 इतिहास 20Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) यहोशापातले युद्धको सामना गर्छन् 20 पछि मोआबी, अम्मोनी अनि केही मिनुई मानिसहरू यहोशापातसित युद्ध शुरू गर्न आए। 2 केही मानिसहरू आए अनि यहोशापातलाई भने, “एदोमबाट एक विशाल सेना तपाईंको विरूद्ध आउँदैछ। तिनीहरू खारा समुद्रको पल्लो छेउबाट आउँदैछन्। तिनीहरू हसासोन-तामारमा आइसकेका छन्।” (हासासोन-तामारलाई एन-गदी पनि भनिन्छ।) 3 यहोशापात भयभीत भए अनि के गर्नु पर्ने भनी तिनले परमप्रभुसित सोध्ने निश्चय गरे। तिनले यहूदाका हरेकलाई उपवासको निम्ति समयको घोषणा गरे। 4 यहूदाका मानिसहरू परमप्रभुसित सहायताको याचना गर्न एक साथ भेला भए। तिनीहरू यहूदाका सबै शहरहरूबाट परमप्रभुलाई सहायता माग्न आए। 5 यहोशापात नयाँ आँगनको सामुन्ने परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा थिए। तिनी यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूको सभामा उभिए। 6 तिनले भने, “हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तपाईं स्वर्गमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ। तपाईंले सबै राष्ट्रहरूका सबै देशहरूमाथि शासन गर्नु हुन्छ। तपाईंसित शक्ति अनि बल छन्। कुनै व्यक्ति तपाईंको विरूद्ध उठ्न सक्तैन। 7 तपाईं हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ। तपाईंले यो देशमा बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई छोडन बाध्य तुल्याउनु भयो। तपाईंले तपाईंका इस्राएली मानिसहरूका सामुन्ने यो काम गर्नु भयो। तपाईंले यो देश सदाको निम्ति अब्राहामका सन्तानहरूलाई दिनु भयो। अब्राहम तपाईंका मित्र थिए। 8 अब्राहमका सन्तानहरू यो देशमा बस्थे अनि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको नाउँमा एउटा मन्दिर निर्माण गरे। 9 तिनीहरूले भने, ‘यदि हामी माथि कष्ट आइपरे अर्थात तरवार, दण्ड, रोग वा अनिकाल, हामी यो मन्दिरको सामुन्ने अनि तपाईंको सामुन्ने उभिने छौं। तपाईंको नाउँ यो मन्दिरमा छ। हामी तपाईंलाई पुकार्ने छौं जब हामी कष्टमा पर्छौ। त्यसबेला तपाईंले हाम्रो बिन्ती सुनिदिनु हुनेछ अनि हामीलाई बचाउँनु हुनेछ।’ 10 “तर अहिले, अम्मोन, मोआब अनि सेईर पर्वतका मानिसहरू यहाँ आएका छन्। तपाईंले त्यस बेला इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको देशमा जानदिनुभएन जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मिश्रदेशबाट आए। यसर्थ इस्राएलका मानिसहरू फर्किएका थिए अनि ती मानिसहरूलाई ध्वंश गरेका थिएनन्। 11 तर हेर्नुहोस् तिनीहरूलाई ध्वंश नगरेकोमा ती मानिसहरूले हामीलाई कस्तो प्रकारको पुरस्कार दिए। तिनीहरू हामीलाई तपाईंको भूमिदेखि निकाल्न वाध्य तुल्याउन आएका छन्। तपाईंले यो भूमि हामीलाई दिनु भयो। 12 हाम्रा परमेश्वर, तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनु होस्। यो विशाल सेनाको विरूद्ध हाम्रो केही शक्ति छैन, जो हामी विरूद्ध आउँदैछन्। के गर्नु पर्ने सो हामी जान्दैनौं। त्यसै कारणले हामी सहायताका निम्ति तपाईं तिर हेर्दछौं।” 13 यहूदाका समस्त मानिसहरू तिनीहरूका बालकहरू, पत्नीहरू अनि छोरा-छोरीहरू परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने उभिए। 14 तब परमप्रभुको आत्मा यहजीएल माथि उत्रिए। यहजीएल जकर्याहका छोरा थिए। जकर्याह बनायाहका छोरा थिए। (बनायाह यीएलका छोरा अनि यीएल मतन्याहका छोरा थिए।) यहजीएल एक लेवी अनि आसापका सन्तान थिए सभाको माझमा। 15 यहजीएलले भने, “मेरो कुरा सुन्नुहोस् राजा यहोशापात, यहूदा अनि यरूशलेममा बस्ने समस्त मानिसहरू। परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई यसो भन्नु हुन्छः ‘यो विशाल सेनाको बारेमा भयभीत नहोऊ, चिन्ता नलेउ किनभने यो युद्ध तिमीहरूको युद्ध होइन। यो परमेश्वरको युद्ध हो। 16 भोलि त्यहाँ तल जाऊ अनि ती मानिसहरूसित युद्ध गर। तिनीहरू सीसको उकालो भएर माथि आउने छन्। तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई यरूएल मरुभूमिको अर्को छेऊमा भएको बेंसीको छेउमा भेट्नेछौ। 17 यो युद्धमा तिमीहरूले लड्नु पर्नेछैन। आफ्ना स्थानहरूमा सुदृढ भएर बस। परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई बचाउँनु भएको तिमीहरूले देख्नेछौ। यहूदा अनि यरूशलेम नडराऊ। सुर्ता नगर। परमप्रभु तिमीहरू साथ हुनुहुन्छ, यसर्थ ती मानिसहरूको विरूद्ध भोलि जाऊ।’” 18 यहोशापात तल निहुरिए। तिनको शिरले भूई छोयो। अनि यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरू र यरूशलेममा बस्ने मानिसहरू परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने झुके। अनि तिनीहरू सबैले परमप्रभुको उपासना गरे। 19 कहात परिवार समूहका अनि कोरह परिवार समूहका लेवीहरू इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको स्तुति गर्नका निम्ति उभिए। परमप्रभुको स्तुति गर्दा तिनीहरूको आवाज एकदमै चर्को थियो। 20 यहोशापातका सेनाहरू बिहानै तको मरुभूमि तिर गए। तिनीहरू जसै हिंड्न थाले यहोशापात उठे र भने, “यहूदाका मानिसहरू अनि तिमी यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू मेरो कुरा सुन। परमप्रभु तिम्रा परमेश्वर माथि विश्वास राख अनि तब सुदृढ रहनेछौ। परमप्रभुका अगमवक्ताहरूमा विश्वास गर। तिमीहरू सफल हुनेछौ।” 21 यहोशापातले मानिसहरूलाई उत्साहित तुल्याए अनि निर्देशन दिए। त्यसपछि तिनले परमप्रभुका निम्ति गायकहरू चुने। ती गायकहरूलाई परमप्रभु प्रति स्तुति अर्पण गर्नलाई चुनिएका थिए किनभने उहाँ पवित्र आश्चर्यजनक हुनुहुन्छ। तिनीहरू सेनाका अघि हिंडे अनि परमप्रभुको स्तुति गरे। तिनीहरूले गीत गाए, “परमप्रभुको स्तुति गर! किनभने उहाँको प्रेम सदा-सर्वदा रहिरहन्छ।” 22 जसै ती मानिसहरूले गाउन र परमेश्वरको स्तुति गर्न शुरू गरे, परमप्रभुले अम्मोनी, मोआबी अनि सेईर पर्वतका मानिसहरू माथि गुप्त आक्रमण चलाइ दिनु भयो। ती, मानिसहरू जो यहूदा माथि आक्रमण गर्न आएका थिए। 23 अम्मोनी अनि मोआबीहरू सेईर पर्वतबाट आएका मानिसहरूसित लड्न थाले। अम्मोनी अनि मोआबीहरूले सेइर पर्वतका मानिसहरूलाई मारे अनि नष्ट गरि दिए। सेइरका मानिसहरूलाई मारे पछि तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई पनि मारे। 24 यहूदाका मानिसहरू मरुभूमिमा भएको पहरा राखेको किल्लमा आइपुगे। तिनीहरूले शत्रुका विशाल सेनालाई खोजे। तर तिनीहरूले केवल मृत शरीरहरू मात्र भूइईँतिर लडिरहेका देखे। कोही पनि जीवित थिएनन्। 25 यहोशापात अनि तिनका सेना ती शरीरहरूबाट मूल्यवान चीजहरू लिन आए। तिनीहरूले अनेक पशुहरू, धन, बस्त्र अनि मूल्यवान चीजहरू पाए। यहोशापात अनि उनका सेनाले ती बस्तुहरू आफ्नै निम्ति लगे। ती चीजहरू यहोशापात अनि तिनका मानिसहरूले बोक्न सक्ने भन्दा अधिक थिए। तिनीहरूले मृत शरीरहरूबाट मूल्यवान चीजहरू लानलाई तीन दिन लगाए, किनभने चीजहरू अधिक थिए। 26 चौथो दिनमा यहोशापात अनि तिनका सेनाले बराका उपत्यकामा भेट गरे। तिनीहरूले त्यस स्थानमा परमप्रभुको स्तुति गरे। त्यसै कारणले मानिसहरूले त्यस स्थानलाई आज पनि “बराका-बेंसी” भन्छन्। 27 त्यसपछि यहोशापातले यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई यरूशलेममा फर्काएर ल्याए। परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई अत्यन्त खुशी तूल्याउनु भयो।, किनभने तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरू परास्त भए। 28 तिनीहरू वीणा, सारङ्गी अनि तुरहीहरू सहित यरूशलेम आए अनि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए। 29 सबै नजिकका राज्यहरू परमप्रभु देखी भयभीत भएर डराए किनभने तिनीहरूले सुने कि इस्राएलका शत्रुहरूको विरूद्ध परमप्रभु आफैं लड्नु भएको थियो। 30 त्यसै कारणले गर्दा यहोशापातका राज्यमा शान्ति थियो। यहोशापातका परमेश्वरले तिनलाई तिनका चारै तिर शान्ति प्रदान गर्नु भयो। यहोशापातको शासनको अन्त 31 यहोशापातले यहूदादेश माथि शासन गरे। यहोशापात पैंतीस बर्षका थिए जब तिनले शासन गर्न शुरू गरे। तिनले पच्चीस बर्षसम्म यरूशलेममा शासन गरे। तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अजूबा थियो। अजूबा शिल्हीकी छोरी थिइन्। 32 यहोशापातले ठीक प्रकारले आफ्ना पिता आसाले जस्तै जीवन जिए। यहोशापातले आसाको तरिका अनुशरण गर्न छाडेनन्। यहोशापातले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा ठीक कार्य गरे। 33 तर उच्च स्थानहरूलाई हटाइएन। अनि मानिसहरूले आफ्ना हृदय आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले अनुशरण गरेका परमेश्वरको अनुशरण गर्न देखि हटाएनन्। 34 यहोशापातले शुरू देखी अन्तसम्म गरेका अन्य कुराहरू हनानीका छोरा येहूका अधिकारिक उल्लेखमा लेखिएका छन्। यी कुराहरूको नकल गरेर इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा संलग्न गरिएका छन्। 35 पछि यहूदाका राजा यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजा अहस्याहसित संन्धि गरे। अहस्थाले नराम्रो गरे। 36 तर्शीशमा जाने जहाजहरू निर्माण गर्नका निम्ति यहोशापात अहस्याहसित मिले। तिनीहरूले जहाजहरू एसोन-गेबेर शहरमा बनाए। 37 तब एलाजार यहोशापातको विरूद्ध बोले। एलाजारका पिताको नाउँ दोदाबाहु थियो। एलाजार मरेशा शहरका थिए। तिनले भने, “यहोशापात तपाईं अस्याहसित मिल्नु भयो, त्यसै कारणले परमप्रभुले तपाईंका कार्यहरू नष्ट गरिदिनु हुनेछ।” जहाजहरू भत्किए, यसर्थ यहोशापात अनि अहस्याह तिनीहरूलाई तार्शीश पठाउन समर्थ भएनन्।
