2 Kings 16 in Nepali

1 योतामका छोरा आहाज पेकह रमल्याहका छोराको शासनकालको 17 औं वर्षमा यहूदाका राजा भए।

2 आहाज 20 वर्षका थिए जब तिनी राजा भए। आहाजले यरूशलेममा 16 वर्ष शासन गरे। आहाज आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊद जस्ता थिएनन् आहाजले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले गलत भन्नुभएको थियो।

3 आहाजले इस्राएलका राजाहरू जस्तै जीवन बिताए। उनले आफ्नो छोरालाई आगोमा बलि दिए। उनले राष्ट्रमा घोर पापको नक्कल गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरू आएको बेला देश छोड्न लगाउनुभयो।

4 आहाजले अग्ला ठाउँहरू, पहाडको शिखर र प्रत्येक हरियो रूखतल बलिदानहरू अनि धूपबलिहरू जलाउँथे।

5 अरामका राजा रसीन अनि इस्राएलका राजा रमल्याहका छोरा पेकह यरूशलेमको विरोधमा युद्ध गर्न आए, रसीन अनि पेकहले आहाजलाई घेरे तर जित्न सेकनन्।

6 त्यस समयमा अरामका राजा रसीनले अरामका लागि एलत फिर्ता लिए। रसीनले यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरूलाई धपाए जो एलतमा थिए। अरामीहरू एलतमा बस्न थाले अनि तिनीहरू आज पनि त्यहाँ बस्दैछन्।

7 आहाजले अश्शूरका राजा तिग्लत पिलेसेरकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए। सन्देश थियोः “म तिम्रो सेवक हुँ। म तिम्रो छोरा जस्तै हुँ आऊ अनि अरामका राजा तथा इस्राएलका राजाबाट मलाई बचाऊ। तिनीहरू मसित युद्ध गर्न आएका छन्।”

8 आहाजले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर अनि राजाको घरको भन्डारमा भएको चाँदी र सुन निकाले। त्यसपछि आहाजले अश्शूरका राजालाई एउटा उपहार पठाए।

9 अश्शूरका राजाले आहाजको कुरा सुने। अश्शूरका राजा दमीशकको विरोधमा युद्ध गर्न गए। राजाले शहर दखल गरे अनि दमीशकका मानिसहरूलाई बन्दी बनाएर किर लगे र उनले रसीनलाई पनि मारे।

10 राजा आहाज अश्शूरका राजा तिग्लत पिलेसेरसँग भेट गर्न दमीशक गए। आहाजले दमीशक मा वेदी देखे। राजा आहाजले यस वेदीको नमूना र ढाँचा पूजाहारी ऊरियाहकहाँ पठाए।

11 तब पूजाहारी उरियाहले दमीशकबाट आहाजले पठाएको नमूना जस्तै एउटा वेदी बनाए। पूजाहारी उरियाहले यस प्रकारको वेदी राजा आहाज दमीशकबाट फर्किनु अघि बनाए।

12 जब राजा दमीशकबाट फर्किए उनले वेदी देखे। उनले वेदीमा बलिहरू चढाए।

13 वेदीमा उनले आहाजले होमबलि अनि अन्नबलि चढाए। उनले आफ्नो अर्घबलि चढाए पनि अनि त्यस वेदीमा मेलबलिको रगत छर्किने काम गरे।

14 आहाजले मन्दिरको सामु परमप्रभु अघि भएको काँसाको वेदी हटाए। यो काँसाको वेदी आहाजको वेदी अनि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको माझमा थियो। आहाजले काँसाको वेदीलाई आफ्नो वेदीको उत्तर तिर राखे।

15 आहाजले पूजाहारी उरियाहलाई एउटा आदेश दिए। उनले भने, “यस देशका मानिसहरूले बिहान होमबलि, बेलुकी अन्नबलि राजाको होमबलि राजाको अन्नबलि अनि साधारण मानिसहरूको होमबलि अन्नबलिहरू पेय बलिहरू चढाउँदा ठूलो वेदी प्रयोग गर। ठूलो वेदीमा बलिदान र अरू बलिहरूको रगत छर्कनु। तर म परमेश्वरसँग प्रश्न सोध्न काँसाको वेदी प्रयोग गर्नेछु।”

16 उरियाह पूजाहारीले सबै काम गरे जस्तो राजा आहाजले आदेश दिएका थिए।

17 काँसाका पाटाहरू भएका गोरूगाडिहरू र हात धुने भाँडाहरू पूजाहारीहरूका लागि थिए। राजा आहाजले सबै पाटाहरू तथा भाँडाहरू निकाले। उनले ठूलो खँड्कुला पनि निकाले जसको तल काँसाका गोरूहरू उभिएका थिए। उनले ठूलो खँड्कुलो ढुंङ्गाको आधरमाथि राखे।

18 कर्मीहरूले विश्राम दिनको सभाका लागि मन्दिरभित्र एउटा छापको ठाउँ बनाए। आहाजले राजाको बाहिरी प्रवेशद्वार पनि हटाए। आहाजले यी सबै परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट निकाले। आहाजले यस्तो काम अश्शूरका राजाको कारणले गर्दा गरे।

19 सबै, कुराहरू जे जति आहाजले गरे ‘यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको’ पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ।

20 आहाज मरे अनि उनलाई दाऊदशहरमा पुर्खाहरूसँगै गाडियो। आहाजका छोरा हिजकियाह उनीपछि नयाँ राजा भए।

1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord his God, like David his father.

3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.

4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.

7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.

8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

10 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

11 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

12 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.

13 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

14 And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the Lord, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of the altar.

15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to inquire by.

16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

17 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones.

18 And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house of the Lord for the king of Assyria.

19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
