2 Chronicles 33

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

मनश्शेले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाह्र वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा पचपन्‍न वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

2 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

तिनले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामुन्‍नेबाट धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका घिनलाग्दा चालहरूमा हिंडेर तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे ।

3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshipped all the army of the sky, and served them.

तिनका पिता हिजकियाले नाश गरेका डाँडाका थानहरू तिनले फेरि बनाए, र तिनले बाल देवताहरूका निम्ति वेदीहरू खडा गरे, अशेराका खम्बाहरू बनाए, र तिनले आकाशका सबै ताराका सामु निहुरे र तिनको पुजा गरे ।

4 He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

“यरूशलेममा नै मेरो नाउँ सदासर्वदा रहनेछ” भनेर परमप्रभुले आज्ञा दिनुभए तापनि मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा वेदीहरू बनाए ।

5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.

तिनले आकाशका सारा ताराहरूका निम्ति परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका दुवै चोकमा वेदीहरू बनाए ।

6 He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practised sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई बेन-हिन्‍नोमको बेसीमा आगोमा हिंड्न लगाए । तिनले टुनामुना गरे, जोखना हेरे, मन्त्रतन्त्र गरे र मृतहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरू र आत्माहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरूसित सल्लाह लिए । मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा धेरै दुष्‍ट काम गरे र तिनले उहाँलाई रिस उठाए ।

7 He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.

तिनले बनाएको खोपेका मूर्तिलाई तिनले परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरभित्र राखे । यस मन्दिरको विषयमा परमप्रभुले दाऊद र तिनका छोरा सोलोमनसित बोल्‍नुभएको थियो । गहाँले यसो भन्‍नुभएको थियोः “मैले इस्राएलका सबै कुलमध्ये चुनेको यो मन्दिर र यरूशलेममा म सदासर्वदाको निम्ति मेरो नाउँ राख्नेछु ।

8 I will not any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”

इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मेरा सबै आज्ञा मानेर मेरो दास मोशामार्फत् मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका सबै व्‍यवस्‍था, विधिहरू र आदेशहरू होसियारसाथ पालन गरे भने, मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको देशबाट तिनीहरूलाई म फेरि पर हटाउनेछैनँ ।”

9 Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको सामुन्‍ने नाश गर्नुभएका जातिहरूले भन्दा पनि धेरै दुष्‍ट काम गर्न मनश्शेले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरे ।

10 The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.

मनश्शे र तिनका मानिसहरूसित परमप्रभु बोल्नुभयो, तर तिनीहरूले ध्‍यान नै दिएनन् ।

11 Therefore the LORD brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा अश्शूरका राजाका फौजका कमाण्‍डरहरू ल्याउनुभयो, जसले मनश्शेलाई साङ्लाले बाँधे, हतकडीहरू लगाए र तिनलाई बेबिलोनमा लिएर गए ।

12 When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

जब मनश्शे कष्‍टमा परे, तब तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरलाई खोजे, र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरकहाँ अत्यन्तै विनम्र भएर झुके ।

13 He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.

तिनले उहाँसँग प्रार्थना गरे । अनि तिनले परमेश्‍वरसँग बिन्ती चढाए र परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई यरूशलेममा ल्‍याएर फेरि राजा बनाउनुभयो । तब मनश्शेले परमप्रभु नै परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍छ भनी जाने ।

14 Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

त्यसपछि मनश्शेले बेसीको गीहोनको पश्‍चिमपट्टिदेखि माछा ढोकासम्म दाऊदको सहरका बाहिरको पर्खाल बनाए । तिनले ओफेल डाँडा घेरे र त्यो पर्खाल धेरै अल्गो बनाए । तिनले यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सबै सहरमा साहसी फौजका कमाण्‍डरहरू पनि खटाइदिए ।

15 He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the LORD’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the LORD’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

तिनले विदेशी देवताहरू र खोपेर बनाएका मूर्ति परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट हटाए, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको डाँडा र यरूशलेममा तिनी आफैले बनाएका सबै वेदी पनि हटाइदिए र तिनले ती सबैलाई सहरबाट बाहिर फ्याँकिदिए ।

16 He built up the LORD’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.

तिनले परमप्रभुको वेदीको पुननिर्माण गरे र त्यसमा मेलबलि र धन्यवाद बलि चढाए । तिनले यहूदालाई परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सेवा गर्नू भनी हुकुम दिए ।

17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the LORD their God.

तापनि मानिसहरूले डाँडाका थानहरूमा बलिदानहरू चढाउँदैरहे, तर परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति मात्रै चढाए ।

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written amongst the acts of the kings of Israel.

मनश्शेको राजकालका अरू विषयहरू, आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरमा तिनले चढाएको प्रार्थना र परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँमा दर्शीहरूले तिनलाई बोलेका वचनहरू, हेर, ती इस्राएलका राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।

19 His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.

त्‍यो वर्णनमा, तिनको प्रार्थना र परमेश्‍वर कसरी त्‍यसबाट चल्‍नुभयो भन्‍ने कुराको इतिहास छ । तिनले आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्याउनु अगि तिनले गरेका सबै पाप र अविश्‍वासका काम, तिनले बनाएका डाँडाका थानहरू र अशेराका खम्बा र मूर्तिहरू— पनि यी सबै दर्शीहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।

20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.

यसरी मनश्शे आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई तिनको आफ्नै महलमा गाडे । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा अमोन राजा भए ।

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

अमोनले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाइस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे ।

22 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

तिनका पिता मनश्शेले गरेझैं तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे । तिनले आफ्ना पिता मनश्शेले बनाएका सबै मूर्तिमा बलिदान चढाए र तिनको पुजा गरे ।

23 He didn’t humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.

आफ्ना पिता मनश्शेले गरेझैं तिनले परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने आफैलाई विनम्र पारेनन् । यसरी तिनी झन् बढी अनाज्ञाकारी भए ।

24 His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.

तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनको विरुद्धमा षड्‌यन्‍त्र रचे, र तिनको आफ्नै महलमा तिनलाई मारे ।

25 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

तर देशका मानिसहरूले राजा अमोनको विरुद्धमा षड्‌यन्‍त्र गर्ने सबैलाई मारे, र तिनको छोरा योशियाहलाई तिनको ठाउँमा तिनीहरूले राजा बनाए ।
