2 Chronicles 32-33 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) Sennacherib’s Invasion 32 After these things and these acts of faithfulness, King Sennacherib of Assyria came and invaded Judah and encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them for himself. 2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and intended to fight against Jerusalem, 3 he planned with his officers and his warriors to stop the flow of the springs that were outside the city; and they helped him. 4 A great many people were gathered, and they stopped all the springs and the wadi that flowed through the land, saying, “Why should the Assyrian kings come and find water in abundance?” 5 Hezekiah set to work resolutely and built up the entire wall that was broken down, and raised towers on it, and outside it he built another wall; he also strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance. 6 He appointed combat commanders over the people, and gathered them together to him in the square at the gate of the city and spoke encouragingly to them, saying, 7 “Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him; for there is one greater with us than with him. 8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” The people were encouraged by the words of King Hezekiah of Judah. 9 After this, while King Sennacherib of Assyria was at Lachish with all his forces, he sent his servants to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah of Judah and to all the people of Judah that were in Jerusalem, saying, 10 “Thus says King Sennacherib of Assyria: On what are you relying, that you undergo the siege of Jerusalem? 11 Is not Hezekiah misleading you, handing you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, ‘The Lord our God will save us from the hand of the king of Assyria’? 12 Was it not this same Hezekiah who took away his high places and his altars and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘Before one altar you shall worship, and upon it you shall make your offerings’? 13 Do you not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands at all able to save their lands out of my hand? 14 Who among all the gods of those nations that my ancestors utterly destroyed was able to save his people from my hand, that your God should be able to save you from my hand? 15 Now therefore do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to save his people from my hand or from the hand of my ancestors. How much less will your God save you out of my hand!” 16 His servants said still more against the Lord God and against his servant Hezekiah. 17 He also wrote letters to throw contempt on the Lord the God of Israel and to speak against him, saying, “Just as the gods of the nations in other lands did not rescue their people from my hands, so the God of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my hand.” 18 They shouted it with a loud voice in the language of Judah to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them, in order that they might take the city. 19 They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as if he were like the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of human hands. Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death 20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz prayed because of this and cried to heaven. 21 And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned in disgrace to his own land. When he came into the house of his god, some of his own sons struck him down there with the sword. 22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of King Sennacherib of Assyria and from the hand of all his enemies; he gave them rest on every side. 23 Many brought gifts to the Lord in Jerusalem and precious things to King Hezekiah of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from that time onward. Hezekiah’s Sickness 24 In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord, and he answered him and gave him a sign. 25 But Hezekiah did not respond according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah. Hezekiah’s Prosperity and Achievements 27 Hezekiah had very great riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of costly objects; 28 storehouses also for the yield of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and sheepfolds. 29 He likewise provided cities for himself, and flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very great possessions. 30 This same Hezekiah closed the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon and directed them down to the west side of the city of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 31 So also in the matter of the envoys of the officials of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart. 32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 33 Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him on the ascent to the tombs of the descendants of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. His son Manasseh succeeded him. Reign of Manasseh 33 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had pulled down, and erected altars to the Baals, made sacred poles, worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them. 4 He built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.” 5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 He made his son pass through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 7 The carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever; 8 I will never again remove the feet of Israel from the land that I appointed for your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given through Moses.” 9 Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the people of Israel. Manasseh Restored after Repentance 10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they gave no heed. 11 Therefore the Lord brought against them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh captive in manacles, bound him with fetters, and brought him to Babylon. 12 While he was in distress he entreated the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty, heard his plea, and restored him again to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord indeed was God. 14 Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of Gihon, in the valley, reaching the entrance at the Fish Gate; he carried it around Ophel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15 He took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them out of the city. 16 He also restored the altar of the Lord and offered on it sacrifices of well-being and of thanksgiving; and he commanded Judah to serve the Lord the God of Israel. 17 The people, however, still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the Lord their God. Death of Manasseh 18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, these are in the Annals of the Kings of Israel. 19 His prayer, and how God received his entreaty, all his sin and his faithlessness, the sites on which he built high places and set up the sacred poles and the images, before he humbled himself, these are written in the records of the seers. 20 So Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his house. His son Amon succeeded him. Amon’s Reign and Death 21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that his father Manasseh had made, and served them. 23 He did not humble himself before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred more and more guilt. 24 His servants conspired against him and killed him in his house. 25 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made his son Josiah king to succeed him.

2 इतिहास 32 Nepali 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।
