25 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly. 3 After the kingdom was firmly in his control, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king. 4 Yet he did not put their children to death, but acted in accordance with what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the Lord commanded: “Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor children be put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.”[a] 5 Amaziah called the people of Judah together and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. He then mustered those twenty years old or more and found that there were three hundred thousand men fit for military service, able to handle the spear and shield. 6 He also hired a hundred thousand fighting men from Israel for a hundred talents[b] of silver. 7 But a man of God came to him and said, “Your Majesty, these troops from Israel must not march with you, for the Lord is not with Israel—not with any of the people of Ephraim. 8 Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow.” 9 Amaziah asked the man of God, “But what about the hundred talents I paid for these Israelite troops?” The man of God replied, “The Lord can give you much more than that.” 10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. They were furious with Judah and left for home in a great rage. 11 Amaziah then marshaled his strength and led his army to the Valley of Salt, where he killed ten thousand men of Seir. 12 The army of Judah also captured ten thousand men alive, took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces. 13 Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had sent back and had not allowed to take part in the war raided towns belonging to Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They killed three thousand people and carried off great quantities of plunder. 14 When Amaziah returned from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people of Seir. He set them up as his own gods, bowed down to them and burned sacrifices to them. 15 The anger of the Lord burned against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why do you consult this people’s gods, which could not save their own people from your hand?” 16 While he was still speaking, the king said to him, “Have we appointed you an adviser to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped but said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.” 17 After Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, he sent this challenge to Jehoash[c] son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel: “Come, let us face each other in battle.” 18 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle underfoot. 19 You say to yourself that you have defeated Edom, and now you are arrogant and proud. But stay at home! Why ask for trouble and cause your own downfall and that of Judah also?” 20 Amaziah, however, would not listen, for God so worked that he might deliver them into the hands of Jehoash, because they sought the gods of Edom. 21 So Jehoash king of Israel attacked. He and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth Shemesh in Judah. 22 Judah was routed by Israel, and every man fled to his home. 23 Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah,[d] at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section about four hundred cubits[e] long. 24 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the temple of God that had been in the care of Obed-Edom, together with the palace treasures and the hostages, and returned to Samaria. 25 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. 26 As for the other events of Amaziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? 27 From the time that Amaziah turned away from following the Lord, they conspired against him in Jerusalem and he fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there. 28 He was brought back by horse and was buried with his ancestors in the City of Judah.[f] 26 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah,[g] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors. 3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[h] of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. 6 He went to war against the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod. He then rebuilt towns near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites. 8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful. 9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate and at the angle of the wall, and he fortified them. 10 He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, because he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain. He had people working his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil. 11 Uzziah had a well-trained army, ready to go out by divisions according to their numbers as mustered by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officials. 12 The total number of family leaders over the fighting men was 2,600. 13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. 14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army. 15 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful. 16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.” 19 Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple, leprosy[i] broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the Lord had afflicted him. 21 King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house[j]—leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land. 22 The other events of Uzziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. 23 Uzziah rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for people said, “He had leprosy.” And Jotham his son succeeded him as king. 27 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the Lord. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel. 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas. 5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents[k] of silver, ten thousand cors[l] of wheat and ten thousand cors[m] of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years. 6 Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God. 7 The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king. Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission. All rights reserved worldwide.

2 इतिहास 25Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) यहूदाका राजा अमस्याह 25 अमस्याह पच्चीस बर्षका थिए जब तिनी राजा भए। तिनले यरूशलेममा उनन्तीस बर्ष शासन गरे। तिनकी आमाको नाउँ यहोअद्दान थियो। यहोअद्दान यरूशलेमकी थिइन्। 2 अमस्याहले त्यही कुराहरू गरे जो परमप्रभुले तिनीद्वारा गराउन चाहनु हुन्थ्यो। तर तिनले ती कुराहरू सम्पूर्ण हृदयले गरेनन्। 3 अमस्याह शक्तिशाली राजा भए। त्यस पछि तिनले ती अधिकारीहरूलाई मारि दिए जसले तिनका राजा मारेको थिए। 4 तर अमस्याहले ती अधिकारीहरूका छोरा छोरीहरूलाई मारेनन्। किनकि तिनले मोशाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका व्यवस्था पालन गरे। परमप्रभुले आदेश दिनु भएको थियो, “माता-पितालाई उनीहरूका छोरा-छोरीहरूले केही गरेको खण्डमा मार्नु हुँदैन। अनि छोरा-छोरीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका माता-पिताहरूले केही गरेका खण्डमा मार्नु हुँदैन कुनै व्यक्तिलाई तिनी स्वयंले गरेका नराम्रो कामका निम्ति मात्र मार्नु पर्छ।” 5 अमस्याहले यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई एक साथ भेला गरे। तिनले परिवार अनुसार तिनीहरूको दल बनाए अनि ती दलहरूलाई सेनाध्यक्ष र सेना नायकहरूका जिम्मामा राखे। ती प्रमुखहरूका जिम्मामा यहूदा अनि बिन्यामीनका समस्त सैनिकहरू थिए। सबै मानिसहरू जो सैनिक हुनका निम्ति छानिए ती बीस बर्ष अनि त्यस भन्दा अधिक उमेरका थिए। जम्मा 3,00,000 सिपालु सैनिकहरू भाला अनि ढाल सहित युद्धका निम्ति तयार थिए। 6 अमस्याहले इस्राएलबाट 1,00,000 सैनिकहरू पनि ज्यालामा ल्याए। ती सैनिकहरूलाई ज्यालामा ल्याउनका निम्ति तिनले 100 तोडा चाँदी दिए। 7 तर परमेश्वरका एक व्यक्ति अमस्याह कहाँ आए। परमेश्वरका व्यक्तिले भने, “राजा इस्राएलका सेनालाई तपाईं साथ जान नदिनु होस्। परमप्रभु इस्राएलीहरूका साथमा हुनुहुन्न। परमप्रभु एप्रैमका मानिसहरूका साथ हुनुहुन्न। 8 यदि तपाईंले तपाईं आफैंलाई बलियो अनि युद्धको निम्ति तयार बनाउनुहुन्छ भने परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई परास्त गर्नुहुनेछ, किनकि विजय अथवा परास्त परमेश्वरको सहायतामा भर पर्छ।” 9 अमस्याहले परमेश्वरका व्यक्तिलाई भने, “तर मेरो धनको बारेमा के हुन्छ जो मैले इस्राएली सेनाहरूलाई दिइ सकेको छु?” परमेश्वरका मानिसले भने, “परमप्रभुसित प्रशस्त छन्। उहाँले तपाईंलाई त्यो भन्दा धेरै दिन सक्नु हुन्छ।” 10 यसर्थ अमस्याहले इस्राएली सैनिकहरूलाई घर तिर एफ्राईम फर्काई पठाए। ती मानिसहरू राजा अनि यहूदाका मानिसहरू प्रति अत्यन्त क्रोधित भए। तिनीहरू अत्यन्त क्रोधित भएर घर फर्किए। 11 तब अमस्याह अत्यन्त साहसी भए अनि आफ्ना सेनाहरूलाई लिएर एदोम देशको नूनकोबेंसी तर्फ गए। त्यस स्थानमा अमस्याहका सेनाहरूले सेईरका 10,000 मानिसहरूलाई मारे। 12 यहूदाका सेनाले पनि सेईरका 10,000 मानिसहरूलाई कब्जामा लिए। तिनीहरूले सेइरका ती मानिसहरूलाई एक पहाडको टुप्पोमा लगे। ती मानिसहरू अझसम्म जीवित थिए। तब यहूदाका सेनाले ती मानिसहरूलाई पहराको टुप्पोदेखि तल तिर झारिदिए अनि तिनीहरूका शरीरहरू तल चट्टानहरूमा चकना चूर भए। 13 तर त्यस समयमा अमस्याहले ती सोनाहरूलाई यहूदाका शहरहरू सामरिया देखि बेत-होरोनसम्म आक्रमण गेर्न अनुमति दिएका थिएनन्। तै पनि तिनीहरूले शहरहरूमा आक्रमण गरे। तिनीहरूले 3,000 मानिसहरू मारे धेरै मालहरू लुटे। 14 अमस्याह एदोमी मानिसहरूलाई परास्त गरे पछि घर आए। तिनले सेइरका मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने मूर्तिहरू ल्याए। अमस्याहले ती मूर्तिहरूको पूजा गर्न शुरू गरे। तिनी ती मूर्तिहरू अघि झुके अनि तिनीहरूका निम्ति धूप बाले। 15 परमप्रभु अमस्याह सित अत्यन्त क्रोधित हुनुभयो। परमप्रभुले अमस्याह कहाँ अगमवक्ता पठाउनु भयो। अगमवक्ताले भने, “अमस्याह किन तपाईंले ती मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने मूर्तिहरूको पूजा गर्नु भएको? ती देवताहरूले तिनीहरूका आफ्नै मानिसहरूलाई पनि तपाईंबाट बचाउन सकेनन्।” 16 जब अगमवक्ता बोले, अमस्याहले अगमवक्तालाई भने, “हामीले तिमीलाई राजाको सल्लाहकार बनाएका छैनौं! चुप लाग! तिमी चुप लागेनौ भने तिमीलाई मारिने छ।” अगमवक्ता चुप भए, तर तब भने, “परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई ध्वंश गर्ने निश्चय गर्नु भएकोछ। किनभने तपाईंले ती नराम्रा कुराहरू गर्नु भयो। अनि मेरो वचन सुन्नु भएन।” 17 यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहले आफ्ना परामर्शदाताहरू सित कुरा गरे। तब तिनले इस्राएलका राजा योआशलाई एक संन्देश पठाए। अमस्याहले योआशलाई भने, “हामी मुखा-मुखी भेट गरौं।” योआश यहोआहाजका छोरा थिए। योआहाज येहूका छोरा थिए। 18 तब योआशले अमस्याह कहाँ आफ्नो उत्तर पठाए। योआश इस्राएलका राजा थिए अनि अमस्याह यहूदाका राजा थिए। योआशले यो कथा भनेः “लबानोन एक सानो काँढादार पोथ्राले लबानोन एक विशाल देवदारको वृक्ष कहाँ संन्देश पठायो। सानो काँढादार पोथ्राले भन्यो, ‘तिम्री छोरीलाई मेरो छोरासित विवाह गरिदेऊ।’ तर एक जङ्गली पशु आयो अनि काँढादार पोथ्रा माथि हिंड्यो र त्यसलाई नष्ट गरि दियो। 19 तिमी स्वयंमलाई भन्छौं, ‘मैले एदोमलाई परास्त गरे।’ तिमी घमण्डी छौ अनि तिमी धाक लाउँछौ। तर तिमी घरमा बस। तिमीलाई खतरा मोल्नु खाँचो छैन। यदि तिमी मसित लड्यौ भने, तिमी अनि यहूदा ध्वंश हुने छौ।” 20 तर अमस्याहले सुन्न अस्वीकार गरे। यो परमेश्वरबाट आएको हो परमेश्वरले इस्राएलद्वारा यहूदालाई परास्त गराउने योजना बनाउनु भयो, किनभने यहूदाका मानिसहरूले एदोमका मानिसहरूले अनुशरण गर्ने देवताहरूको अनुशरण गरे। 21 यस कारण इस्राएलका राजा योआशले यहूदाका राजा अमस्याहसित बत-शेमेश शहरमा मुखा-मुखी भेट गरे। बेत-शेमेश यहूदामा छ। 22 इस्राएलले यहूदालाई परास्त गरे। यहूदाका हरेका मानिस आफ्ना घर तिर भागे। 23 योआशले अमस्याहलाई बेत-शेमेशमा पक्रे अनि तिनलाई यरूशलेम लगे। अमस्याहका पिताको नाउँ योआश थियो। योआशको पिताको नाउँ योआहाज थियो। योआशले यरूशलेमको एप्रैम फाटक देखि कुनाको फाटक सम्मको पर्खालको 400 हात लामो अंश भत्काइ दिए। 24 परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा सुन अनि चाँदी एवं धेरै अन्य चीज-बीजहरू थिए। ओबेद एदोम ती चीज बीजहरूको जिम्मामा थिए। तर येहोआशले ती सबै चीज-बीजहरू लगे। योआशले राज महलबाट कोषहरू पनि लगे। त्यस पछि योआशले केही मानिसहरूलाई कैदीको रूपमा लगे अनि फर्केर सामरिया गए। 25 योआशको मृत्यु पछि अमस्याह पन्ध्र बर्षसम्म बाँचे। अमस्याहका पिता यहूदाका राजा योआश थिए। योआशको पिता यहोआहाज इस्राएलका राजा थिए। 26 अमस्याहले शुरू देखि अन्तसम्म गरेका अन्य कुराहरू यहूदा अनि इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन्। 27 जब अमस्याहले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गर्न छाडे, यरूशलेममा मानिसहरूले अमस्याह विरूद्ध षडयन्त्र रचे। तिनी लाकीश शहर तिर भागेर गए। तर मानिसहरूले लाकीशमा मानिसहरू पठाए अनि तिनीहरूले अमस्याहलाई त्यही मारिदिए। 28 तब तिनीहरूले अमस्याहको शरीरलाई घोडाहरूमा लदाएर ल्याए अनि यहूदाको शहरमा तिनका पुर्खाहरूसित गाडि दिए।
