II Kings 20 The Embassy of the King of Babylon

 II Kings 20

The Embassy of the King of Babylon

12 At that time Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

13 And Hezekiah listened to them and showed them all his treasure house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointments, and his armory, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing that he did not show them, either in his house or in all his dominion.

14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and where did they come from to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came from a far country, from Babylon.”

15 And he said, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said, They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord.

17 Behold, the days are coming, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon; not a thing shall be left, saith the Lord.

18 And even of your sons that shall come out of you, whom you shall beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good. And he said, Shall not my days be peace and truth? 20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool and the conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

II Reis 20 A embaixada do rei de Babilônia

 

II Reis 20

A embaixada do rei de Babilônia

 

12 Naquele tempo enviou Berodaque-Baladã, filho de Baladã, rei de Babilônia, cartas e um presente a Ezequias; porque ouvira que Ezequias tinha estado doente.

13 E Ezequias lhes deu ouvidos, e lhes mostrou toda a casa de seu tesouro, a prata, e o ouro, e as especiarias, e os melhores ungüentos, e a sua casa de armas, e tudo quanto se achou nos seus tesouros: coisa nenhuma houve que lhes não mostrasse, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu domínio.

14 Então o profeta Isaías veio ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: Que disseram aqueles homens, e donde vieram a ti? E disse Ezequias: De um país mui remoto vieram, de Babilônia.

15 E disse ele: Que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Tudo quanto há em minha casa viram: coisa nenhuma há nos meus tesouros que eu lhes não mostrasse.

16 Então disse Isaías a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor.

17 Eis que vêm dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que entesouraram teus pais até ao dia de hoje, será levado a Babilônia: não ficará coisa alguma, disse o Senhor.

18 E ainda até de teus filhos, que procederam de ti, e que tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunucos no paço do rei da Babilônia.

19 Então disse Ezequias a Isaías: Boa é a palavra do Senhor que disseste. Disse mais: E não haverá pois meus dias paz e verdade?

20 Ora o mais dos sucessos de Ezequias, e todo o seu poder, e como fez a piscina e o aqueduto, e como fez vir a água á cidade, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

21 E Ezequias dormiu com seus pais: e Manassés, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

 

 

 

द्वितीय राजा 20 हिजकिय्याह बीमार पड़ गया

 द्वितीय राजा 20

हिजकिय्याह बीमार पड़ गया

1 उन्हीं दिनों में हिजकिय्याह ऐसा बीमार पड़ा कि वह मरने पर था; और आमोस का पुत्र यशायाह भविष्यद्वक्ता ने उसके पास आकर उस से कहा, यहोवा यों कहता है, अपने घराने की चौकसी कर, क्योंकि तू मर जाएगा और जीवित न रहेगा।

2 तब उस ने अपना मुंह दीवार की ओर करके यहोवा से प्रार्थना करके कहा,

3 ओह! महोदय! इससे तुम्हें यह याद रखने में मदद मिलेगी कि मैं सच्चाई से, सच्चे दिल से तुम्हारे सामने चला, और वही किया जो तुम्हारी नज़र में सही था। और हिजकिय्याह बहुत रोने लगा।

4 जब यशायाह आंगन के बीच में से न निकला या, तब यहोवा का यह वचन उसके पास पहुंचा,

5 लौटकर मेरी प्रजा के प्रधान हिजकिय्याह से कह, तेरे मूलपुरुष दाऊद का परमेश्वर यहोवा यों कहता है, मैं ने तेरी प्रार्थना सुनी, और तेरे आंसू भी देखे हैं, देख, मैं तुझे चंगा करूंगा; तीसरे दिन तुम यहोवा के भवन को जाओगे।

6 और मैं तेरी आयु पन्द्रह वर्ष और बढ़ाऊंगा, और तुझे और इस नगर को अश्शूर के राजा के हाथ से बचाऊंगा; और मैं अपने निमित्त, और अपने दास दाऊद के निमित्त इस नगर की रक्षा करूंगा।

7 यशायाह ने आगे कहा, अंजीर का लेप लो। और उन्होंने उसे लेकर घाव पर रखा; और वह ठीक हो गया।

8 और हिजकिय्याह ने यशायाह से कहा, इसका क्या चिन्ह है, कि यहोवा मुझे चंगा करेगा, और मैं तीसरे दिन यहोवा के भवन को जाऊंगा?

9 और यशायाह ने कहा, क्या यह तुम्हारे लिये यहोवा की ओर से कोई चिन्ह होगा, कि यहोवा अपना वचन पूरा करेगा, कि क्या छाया दस अंश आगे बढ़ेगी, या दस अंश पीछे लौट आएगी?

10 तब हिजकिय्याह ने कहा, छाया का दस अंश घट जाना सहज है; नहीं, लेकिन छाया को दस डिग्री पीछे ले जाएँ।

11 तब यशायाह भविष्यद्वक्ता ने यहोवा की दोहाई दी, और उस छाया को आहाज की धूपघड़ी के समय से भी दस अंश पीछे कर दिया।

II Kings 20 Hezekiah falls ill

 II Kings 20

Hezekiah falls ill

1 In those days Hezekiah became sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: Put your household in order, for you will die and not live.”

2 Then he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying,

3 “Oh, Lord, remember that I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is right in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the courtyard, the word of the Lord came to him:

5 “Return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.

6 And I will add fifteen years to your days, and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for my own sake and for the sake of David my servant.

7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took it, and laid it on the wound; and he was healed.

8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?

9 And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign unto you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: Shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

10 And Hezekiah said, It is easy for the shadow to go down ten degrees; no, but the shadow will go back ten degrees. 11 Then Isaiah the prophet cried out to the Lord, and he turned the shadow back ten degrees, according to the degrees it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.

II Reis 20 Ezequias adoece

 

II Reis 20

Ezequias adoece

 

1 Naqueles dias adoeceu Ezequias de morte: e o profeta Isaías, filho de Amós, veio a ele, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Ordena a tua casa, porque morrerás e não viverás.

2 Então virou o rosto para a parede, e orou ao Senhor, dizendo:

3 Ah! Senhor! Sê servido de te lembrar de que andei diante de ti em verdade, e com o coração perfeito, e fiz o que era reto aos teus olhos. E chorou Ezequias muitíssimo.

4 Sucedeu pois que, não havendo Isaías ainda saído do meio do pátio, veio a ele a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

5 Volta, e dize a Ezequias, chefe do meu povo: Assim diz o Senhor Deus de teu pai Davi: Ouvi a tua oração, e vi as tuas lágrimas, eis que eu te sararei; ao terceiro dia subirás à casa do Senhor.

6 E acrescentarei aos teus dias quinze anos, e das mãos do rei da Assíria te livrarei, a ti e a esta cidade; e ampararei esta cidade por amor de mim, e por amor de Davi, meu servo.

7 Disse mais Isaías: Tomai uma pasta de figos. E a tomaram, e a puseram sobre a chaga; e ele sarou.

8 E Ezequias disse a Isaías: Qual o é sinal de que o Senhor me sarará, e de que ao terceiro dia subirei à casa do Senhor?

9 E disse Isaías: Isto te será sinal, da parte do Senhor, de que o Senhor cumprirá a palavra que disse: Adiantar-se-á a sombra dez graus, ou voltará dez grau atrás?

10 Então disse Ezequias: É fácil que a sombra decline dez graus; não, mas volte a sombra dez graus atrás.

11 Então o profeta Isaías clamou ao Senhor, e fez voltar a sombra dez graus atrás, pelos graus que já tinha declinado no relógio de sol de Acaz.

 द्वितीय राजा 19

भगवान ने अश्शूरियों पर हमला किया और यहूदा को मुक्त कर दिया

35 उसी रात को यहोवा का दूत निकला, और अश्शूरियोंकी छावनी में एक लाख पचासी हजार पुरूषोंको मार डाला; और भोर को जब वह उठा, तो क्या देखा, कि सब मर गए हैं। शव.

36 तब अश्शूर का राजा सन्हेरीब चला, और लौट आया, और नीनवे में रह गया।

37 और ऐसा हुआ कि वह अपने देवता निस्रोक के भवन में साष्टांग लेट गया, कि अद्रम्मेलेक और सरेसेर नाम उसके पुत्रों ने उसे तलवार से मार डाला; परन्तु वे अरारा देश में भाग गए; और उसका पुत्र एसारादोन उसके स्थान पर राज्य करने लगा।

 II Kings 19

God Strikes the Assyrians and Delivers Judah

35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred and eighty-five thousand: and when he rose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.

36 Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt in Nineveh.

37 And it came to pass, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adram-melech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: but they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

II Reis 19 Deus fere os assírios e livra Judá

 

II Reis 19

Deus fere os assírios e livra Judá

35 Sucedeu pois que naquela mesma noite saiu o anjo do Senhor, e feriu no arraial dos assírios a cento e oitenta e cinco mil deles: e, levantando-se pela manhã cedo, eis que todos eram corpos mortos.

36 Então Senaqueribe, rei da Assíria, partiu, e foi, e voltou: e ficou em Nínive.

37 E sucedeu que, estando ele prostrado na casa de Nisroque, seu deus, Adrã-Meleque e Sarezer, seus filhos, o feriram á espada; porém eles escaparam para a terra de Arará: e Esaradom, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

द्वितीय राजा 19 यशायाह ने हिजकिय्याह को सांत्वना दी

 द्वितीय राजा 19

यशायाह ने हिजकिय्याह को सांत्वना दी

20 तब आमोस के पुत्र यशायाह ने हिजकिय्याह के पास कहला भेजा, इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यहोवा यों कहता है, तू ने अश्शूर के राजा सन्हेरीब के विषय में जो कुछ मुझ से पूछा, वह मैं ने सुन लिया।

21 जो वचन यहोवा ने उसके विषय में कहा वह यह है, कि सिय्योन की बेटी कुमारी तुझे तुच्छ जानती है, वह तुझे ठट्ठों में उड़ाती है; यरूशलेम की बेटी तेरे पीछे सिर हिलाती है।

22 तू ने किसकी निन्दा और निन्दा की है? और तू ने किसके विरुद्ध शब्द उठाया, और अपनी आंखें ऊपर उठाईं? इस्राएल के पवित्र के विरुद्ध?

23 तू ने अपके दूतोंके द्वारा यहोवा की निन्दा करके कहा, मैं अपके बहुत से रथोंके साय लबानोन के पहाड़ोंकी चोटियोंपर चढ़ जाऊंगा, और उसके ऊंचे ऊंचे देवदारोंको और उसके सुन्दर बीच के वृक्षोंको काट डालूंगा। और मैं उसके चरम सरायों में, वरन उसके उपजाऊ मैदान के जंगलों में भी प्रवेश करूंगा।

24 मैं ने पराए जल को खोदकर पीया है, और दृढ़ स्थानोंकी सब नदियों को अपने पांवोंके बल से सुखा डालूंगा।

25 क्या तुम ने नहीं सुना, कि मैं ने पहिले ही से ऐसा किया है, और प्राचीन काल से उसको बनाता आया हूं? परन्तु अब मैं उसे ले आया हूं, कि तू ही दृढ़ नगरोंको उजाड़ कर दे।

26 इस कारण उनके रहनेवाले हाथ खींचे हुए चकित और लज्जित हुए; वे मैदान की घास, और हरी सब्जियों, और छतों की घास, और गेहूं के समान हो गए, जो उगने से पहिले जल जाता था।

27 परन्तु मैं जानता हूं कि तुम्हारा बैठना, तुम्हारा बाहर जाना, तुम्हारा आना, और तुम्हारा क्रोध मुझ पर भड़का है।

28 तेरे क्रोध के कारण जो मुझ पर भड़का है, और तेरा क्रोध मेरे कानों तक पहुंच गया है, इस कारण मैं तेरी नाक में नकेल डालूंगा, और तेरे होठों में अपनी लगाम डालूंगा, और जिस मार्ग से तू आया है उसी से तुझे लौटा दूंगा।

29 और तुम्हारे लिये यह चिन्ह होगा, कि इस वर्ष तो तुम जो अपने आप उगे उसे खाओगे, और अगले वर्ष जो कुछ तुम से उपजाओ उसे खाओगे; परन्तु तीसरे वर्ष बोओ, और काटोगे, और दाख की बारियां लगाकर उनका फल खाओगे।

30 क्योंकि जो यहूदा के घराने से भाग निकला और पीछे रह गया, वह फिर जड़ लगाएगा, और ऊपर की ओर फलवन्त होगा।

31 क्योंकि जो बचे हुए हैं वे यरूशलेम से निकलेंगे, और जो कोई यहोवा की जलन से बच गया है वह सिय्योन पहाड़ से यह करेगा।

32 इसलिये यहोवा अश्शूर के राजा के विषय में यों कहता है, वह इस नगर में प्रवेश न करेगा, और न उस पर तीर छोड़ेगा; और न वह ढाल लेकर उसके साम्हने आएगा, और न उसके विरूद्ध कोई बचाव करेगा।

33 जिस मार्ग से वह आए, उसी मार्ग से लौट जाएगा; परन्तु वह इस नगर में प्रवेश न करेगा, यहोवा का यही वचन है।

34 क्योंकि मैं अपने निमित्त और अपने दास दाऊद के निमित्त इस नगर को बचाकर रखूंगा।

II Kings 19 Isaiah Comforts Hezekiah

 II Kings 19

Isaiah Comforts Hezekiah

20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard your request concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria.

21 This is the word that the Lord spoke to him: The virgin daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.

22 Whom have you defied and blasphemed? And against whom have you lifted up your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel?

23 By your messengers you have defied the Lord and said, ‘I will go up with my many chariots to the heights of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; I will cut down its tall cedars and its beautiful fir trees; I will enter its outermost dwellings, even to the forest of its fruitful fields.

24 I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the soles of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of the fortified places.

25 Have you not heard that I have done this before, and that I have formed it in ancient times? But now I have brought it about that you should make the fortified cities into desolate heaps.

26 Therefore their inhabitants have shortened their hands, and are astonished and confounded; they are like the grass of the field, and the green herb, and the hay on the housetops, and the corn that is burned before it rises.

27 But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your fury against me.

28 Because of your fury against me, and because your rebellion has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came. 

29 And this shall be a sign unto thee; This year thou shalt eat that which groweth of itself, and the second year that which springeth of it; but in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

 30 For the remnant of the house of Judah that is escaped, and is left, shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. 

31 For out of Jerusalem shall come forth the remnant, and out of mount Zion the zeal of the LORD shall do this.

 32 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there; neither shall he come before it with a shield, nor cast up a siege against it. 

33 By the way that he came, by that he shall return; but he shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. 

34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.

II Reis 19 Isaías conforta Ezequias

 

II Reis 19

Isaías conforta Ezequias

20 Então Isaías, filho de Amós, mandou dizer a Ezequias: Assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: O que me pediste acerca de Senaqueribe, rei da Assíria, eu o ouvi.

21 Esta é a palavra que o Senhor falou dele: A virgem, a filha de Sião, te despreza, de ti zomba; a filha de Jerusalém meneia a cabeça por detrás de ti.

22 A quem afrontaste e blasfemaste? E contra quem alçaste a voz, e ergueste os teus olhos ao alto? Contra o Santo de Israel?

23 Por meio de teus mensageiros afrontaste o Senhor, e disseste: Com a multidão de meus carros subo eu ao alto dos montes, aos lados do Líbano, e cortarei os seus altos cedros, e s suas mais formosas faias, e entrarei nas suas pousadas extremas, até no bosque do seu campo fértil.

24 Eu cavei, e bebi águas estranhas, e com as plantas de meus pés secarei todos os rios dos lugares fortes.

25 Porventura não ouviste que já dantes fiz isto, e já desde os dias antigos o formei? Agora porém eu fiz vir, para que fosses tu que reduzisses as cidades fortes a montões desertos.

26 Por isso os moradores delas, com as mãos encolhidas, ficaram pasmados e confundidos: eram como a erva do campo, e a hortaliça verde, e o feno dos telhados, e o trigo queimado, antes que se levante.

27 Porém o teu assentar, e o teu sair e o teu entrar, eu o sei, e o teu furor contra mim.

28 Por causa do teu furor contra mim, e porque a tua revolta subiu aos meus ouvidos, portanto porei o meu anzol no teu nariz, e o meu freio nos teus beiços, e te farei voltar pelo caminho por onde vieste.

29 E isto te será por sinal: Este ano se comerá o que nascer por si mesmo, e no ano seguinte o que daí proceder, porém no terceiro ano semeai e segai, e plantai vinhas, e comei os seus frutos.

30 Porque o que escapou da casa de Judá, e ficou de resto, tornará a lançar raízes para baixo, e dará fruto para cima.

31 Porque de Jerusalém sairá o restante, e do monte de Sião o que escapou o zelo do Senhor fará isto.

32 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor acerca do rei da Assíria: Não entrará nesta cidade, nem lançará nela flexa alguma; tão pouco virá perante ela com escudo, nem levantará contra ela tranqueira alguma.

33 Pelo caminho por onde vier, por ele voltará; porém nesta cidade não entrará diz o Senhor.

34 Porque eu ampararei a esta cidade, para a livrar, por amor de mim e por amor do meu servo Davi.

 

 

द्वितीय राजा 19 हिजकिय्याह यहोवा के भवन में प्रार्थना करता है

 द्वितीय राजा 19

हिजकिय्याह यहोवा के भवन में प्रार्थना करता है

1 और ऐसा हुआ कि हिजकिय्याह ने यह सुना, और अपने वस्त्र फाड़, और टाट ओढ़ लिया, और यहोवा के भवन में गया।

2 तब उस ने एल्याकीम भण्डारी, और शेब्ना मन्त्री, और टाट ओढ़े हुए याजकोंके पुरनियोंको आमोस के पुत्र यशायाह भविष्यद्वक्ता के पास भेजा।

3 और उन्होंने उस से कहा, हिजकिय्याह यों कहता है, आज का दिन संकट और नामधराई और निन्दा का दिन है; क्योंकि बच्चे पैदा हो गए हैं, और उन्हें पैदा करने की ताकत नहीं रही।

4 सम्भव है कि तेरा परमेश्वर यहोवा रबशाके की सब बातें सुने, जिसे यहोवा ने अश्शूर के राजा ने जीवते परमेश्वर का अपमान करने, और जो बातें तेरे परमेश्वर यहोवा ने सुनी हैं उनके द्वारा उसकी निन्दा करने को भेजा है; इसलिए जो बाकी मिला है उसके लिए प्रार्थना करें।

5 और राजा हिजकिय्याह के कर्मचारी यशायाह के पास आए।

6 और यशायाह ने उन से कहा, तुम अपके प्रभु से योंकहना; यहोवा यों कहता है, जो बातें तू ने सुनीं, जिनके द्वारा अश्शूर के राजा के कर्मचारियों ने मेरी निन्दा की, उन से मत डर।

7 देख, मैं उस में आत्मा समवाऊंगा, और वह शोर सुनेगा, और अपने निज देश को लौट जाएगा; मैं उसे उसी के देश में तलवार से मार डालूंगा।

8 और रबशाके ने लौटकर अश्शूर के राजा को लिब्ना से लड़ते हुए पाया, क्योंकि उस ने सुना था, कि वह लाकीश से चला गया है।

9 और जब उस ने उसे कूस के राजा तिरका के विषय में यह कहते सुना, कि देख, वह तुझ से युद्ध करने को निकला है; उसने हिजकिय्याह के पास फिर दूत भेजे और कहा:

10 यहूदा के राजा हिजकिय्याह से योंकहना, कि तेरा परमेश्वर जिस पर तू भरोसा रखता है, यह कहकर तुझे धोखा न दे, कि यरूशलेम अश्शूर के राजा के वश में न पड़ेगा।

11 देख, तू ने सुना है कि अश्शूर के राजाओं ने सब देशोंके साथ क्या किया, और उनको सत्यानाश कर डाला; और क्या तुम आज़ाद हो जाओगे?

12 क्या उन जातियोंके देवताओं ने उनको बचाया जिन्हें उन्होंने गोजान और हारान और रेसेप और एदेनियोंको जो तलस्सार में थे नाश किया था?

13 हमात के राजा, अर्पाद के राजा, सपवैम नगर, हेना और इवा के राजा का क्या हुआ?

14 जब हिजकिय्याह ने दूतोंके हाथ से चिट्ठियां पाकर पढ़ीं, तब वह यहोवा के भवन में गया, और हिजकिय्याह ने उनको यहोवा के साम्हने फैला दिया।

15 और हिजकिय्याह ने यहोवा के साम्हने प्रार्थना करके कहा, हे इस्राएल के परमेश्वर, हे करूबोंके बीच में रहनेवाले, तू ही ने आकाश और पृय्वी को बनाया है।

16 हे प्रभु, कान लगाकर सुन; हे प्रभु, अपनी आंखें खोल, और देख; और सन्हेरीब के वचन सुन, जिस ने उसे जीवते परमेश्वर की निन्दा करने को भेजा।

17 हे यहोवा, यह सच है, कि अश्शूर के राजा जातियोंऔर देशोंको उजाड़ देते हैं।

18 और उन्होंने अपके देवताओंको आग में डाल दिया; क्योंकि वे देवता नहीं, परन्तु मनुष्य के हाथ, लकड़ी और पत्थर की बनाई हुई वस्तुएँ थे; इसलिए उन्होंने उन्हें नष्ट कर दिया.

19 इसलिये अब हे हमारे परमेश्वर यहोवा, हमें उसके हाथ से छुड़ाने में सहायता कर; और इस प्रकार पृय्वी के राज्य राज्य के लोग जान लेंगे कि प्रभु परमेश्वर केवल तू ही है।

II Kings 19 Hezekiah Prays in the House of the Lord

 II Kings 19

Hezekiah Prays in the House of the Lord

1 When Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of the Lord.

2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and of reproach and blasphemy, because the children have come to term, and there is no strength to bear them.

4 It may be that the Lord your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the Lord, the king of Assyria, has sent to reproach the living God and to reproach him with the words that the Lord your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that is left.

5 Then the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

 6 And Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall say to your Lord; thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

 7 Behold, I will put a spirit within him, and he shall hear a noise, and he shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall with the sword in his own land." 

8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

 9 And when he heard from Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, "Behold, he is come out to fight against you," he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, 

10 Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, "Let not your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, 'Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.' 

11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them utterly; will you deliver yourself?

12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, whom they have destroyed, like Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, who were in Telassar?

13 What has become of the king of Hamath, and of the king of Arpad, and of the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and of Ivvah?

14 So Hezekiah received the letters from the messengers and read them, and went up to the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread them out before the Lord.

15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou, thou alone, hast made heaven and earth.

16 Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear: Open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, whom he sent to defy the living God.

17 It is true, O Lord, that the kings of Assyria are destroying the nations and the lands.

18 They have cast their gods into the fire, for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.

19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, be pleased to deliver us out of their hand; and all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.

II Reis 19 Ezequias ora na casa do Senhor

 

II Reis 19

Ezequias ora na casa do Senhor

 

1 E aconteceu que Ezequias, tendo-o ouvido, rasgou os seus vestidos, e se cobriu de saco, e entrou na casa do Senhor.

2 Então enviou a Eliaquim, o mordomo, e a Sebna, o escrivão, e os anciãos dos sacerdotes cobertos de sacos, ao profeta Isaías, filho de Amós.

3 E disseram-lhe: Assim diz Ezequias: Este dia é dia de angústia, e de vituperação, e de blasfêmia; porque os filhos chegaram ao parto, e não há força para os ter.

4 Bem pode ser que o Senhor teu Deus ouça todas as palavras de Rabsaqué, a quem enviou o senhor, o rei da Assíria, para afrontar o Deus vivo, e para vituperá-lo com as palavras que o Senhor teu Deus tem ouvido: faze pois oração pelo resto que se acha.

5 E os servos do rei Ezequias vieram a Isaías.

6 E Isaías lhes disse: Assim direis a vosso Senhor; assim diz o Senhor: Não temas as palavras que ouviste, com as quais os servos do rei da Assíria me blasfemaram.

7 Eis que meterei nele um espírito, e ele ouvirá um ruído, e voltará para a sua terra: à espada o farei cair na sua terra.

8 Voltou pois Rabsaqué, e achou o rei da Assíria pelejando contra Libna, porque tinha ouvido que se havia partido de Laquis.

9 E, ouvindo ele dizer de Tiraca, rei de Cuse: Eis que há saído para te fazer guerra; tornou a enviar mensageiros a Ezequias, dizendo:

10 Assim falareis a Ezequias, rei de Judá, dizendo: Não te engane o teu Deus, em quem confias, dizendo: Jerusalém não será entregue na mão do rei da Assíria.

11 Eis que já tens ouvido o que fizeram os reis da Assíria a todas as terras, destruindo-as totalmente; e tu te livrarás?

12 Porventura as livraram os deuses das nações, a quem destruíram como a Gozã e a Harã, e a Rezefe, e aos filhos de Édem, que estavam em Telassar?

13 Que é feito do rei de Hamate, e do rei de Arpade, e do rei da cidade de Sefarvaim, de Hena e de Iva?

14 Recebendo pois Ezequias as cartas das mãos dos mensageiros, e lendo-as, subiu à casa do Senhor, e Ezequias as estendeu perante o Senhor.

15 E orou Ezequias perante o Senhor, e disse: Ó Deus de Israel, que habitas entre os querubins, tu mesmo, só tu fizeste os céus e a terra.

16 Inclina, Senhor, o teu ouvido, e ouve; abre, Senhor, os teus olhos, e olha: e ouve as palavras de Senaqueribe, que enviou a este, para afrontar o Deus vivo.

17 Verdade é, ó Senhor, que os reis da Assíria assolam as nações e as terras.

18 E lançaram os seus deuses no fogo; porquanto deuses não eram, mas obra de mãos de homens, madeira e pedra; por isso os destruíram.

19 Agora pois, ó Senhor nosso Deus, sê servido de nos livrar da sua mão; e assim saberão todos os reinos da terra que só tu és o Senhor Deus.

द्वितीय राजा 18 सन्हेरीब ने यहूदा पर आक्रमण किया

 द्वितीय राजा 18

सन्हेरीब ने यहूदा पर आक्रमण किया

13 परन्तु हिजकिय्याह राजा के चौदहवें वर्ष में अश्शूर के राजा सन्हेरीब ने यहूदा के सब दृढ़ नगरोंपर चढ़ाई करके उनको ले लिया।

14 तब यहूदा के राजा हिजकिय्याह ने अश्शूर के राजा के पास लाकीश को कहला भेजा, कि मैं ने पाप किया है; मुझ से दूर हो जाओ; जो कुछ भी तुम मुझ पर थोपोगे मैं ले लूँगा। तब अश्शूर के राजा ने यहूदा के राजा हिजकिय्याह पर तीन सौ किक्कार चान्दी और तीस किक्कार सोना लगाया।

15 इसलिये जितनी चान्दी यहोवा के भवन में और राजभवन के भण्डारों में मिली वह सब हिजकिय्याह ने दे दी।

16 उस समय हिजकिय्याह ने यहोवा के मन्दिर के किवाड़ों में से, और उन चौखटों में से, जिनसे यहूदा के राजा हिजकिय्याह ने सोना ढांपा या, सोना काटकर अश्शूर के राजा को दे दिया।

17 परन्तु अश्शूर के राजा ने तर्तन, और रबशरीस, और लाकीश के रबशाके के पास हिजकिय्याह राजा के पास बड़ी सेना भेज दी; वे ऊपरी स्विमिंग पूल के जलसेतु के नीचे खड़े थे, जो कपड़े धोने के मैदान के रास्ते के बगल में है।

18 और उन्होंने राजा को बुलाया, और हिल्किय्याह का पुत्र एल्याकीम जो भण्डारी था, और शेब्ना जो मन्त्री था, और आसाप का पुत्र योआ जो राजधिपति था, वे उनके पास निकल गए।

19 और रबशाके ने उन से कहा, अब हिजकिय्याह से कहो, महान राजा अर्थात अश्शूर का राजा यों कहता है, कि तू किस भरोसे पर भरोसा रखता है?

20 तुम कहते हो (परन्तु तुम्हारे मुंह में यही वचन है, कि युद्ध के लिथे युक्ति और सामर्थ है। फिर अब तुम किस पर भरोसा रखते हो, कि मुझ से बलवा करते हो?

21 देख, अब तू मिस्र में उस टूटे हुए नरकट पर भरोसा रखता है, जिस पर यदि कोई टेक लगाए, तो वह उसके हाथ में घुसकर उसे छेद देगा; मिस्र का राजा फ़िरौन अपने सब भरोसा रखनेवालोंके प्रति वैसा ही है।

22 परन्तु यदि तू मुझ से कहे, कि हम अपके परमेश्वर यहोवा पर भरोसा रखते हैं, तो क्या यह वही नहीं है जिसके ऊंचे स्थानोंऔर वेदियोंको हिजकिय्याह ने यह कहकर ले लिया, कि तुम यरूशलेम की इस वेदी को दण्डवत् करना चाहोगे?

23 इसलिये अब अपके प्रभु अश्शूर के राजा को बन्धक दे, और यदि तू उनके लिये सवार दे सके, तो मैं तुझे दो हजार घोड़े दूंगा।

24 तो फिर तू मेरे प्रभु के छोटे से छोटे सेवकोंमें से एक हाकिम का मुंह क्योंकर फेर सकता है? परन्तु रथोंऔर सवारोंके कारण तुम मिस्र पर भरोसा रखते हो।

25 तो क्या मैं यहोवा के बिना इस स्यान को नाश करने को चढ़ गया हूं? यहोवा ने मुझसे कहा: इस देश पर चढ़ाई करो और इसे नष्ट कर दो।

26 तब हिल्किय्याह के पुत्र एल्याकीम और शेब्ना और योआह ने रबशाके से कहा, हम तुझ से बिनती करते हैं, कि तू अरामी में अपने दासोंसे कह; क्योंकि हम तुम्हें अच्छी तरह समझते हैं, और जो शहरपनाह पर खड़े हैं, उनके कान में हम से यहूदी भाषा में बातें न करते।

27 परन्तु रबशाके ने उन से कहा, क्या मेरे प्रभु ने मुझे तेरे प्रभु और तुम्हारे ही पास ये बातें कहने के लिथे भेजा है, और शहरपनाह पर बैठे हुए मनुष्योंके पास नहीं, कि वे तुम्हारे संग अपना गोबर खाएं और अपना गोबर पीएं? मूत्र?

28 तब रबशाके खड़ा हुआ, और यहूदी भाषा में ऊंचे शब्द से चिल्लाकर कहा, महाबली राजा, अर्थात अश्शूर के राजा का वचन सुनो।

29 राजा यों कहता है, हिजकिय्याह तुम को धोखा न दे; क्योंकि वह तुम्हें अपने हाथ से बचा न सकेगा;

30 और हिजकिय्याह यह कहकर तुम्हें यहोवा पर भरोसा नहीं रखता, कि यहोवा निश्चय हम को बचाएगा, और यह नगर अश्शूर के राजा के वश में न किया जाएगा।

31 हिजकिय्याह की न सुन; क्योंकि अश्शूर का राजा यों कहता है, कि मुझ से भेंट बान्ध लो, और मेरे पास आकर अपनी अपनी दाखलता और अंजीर के वृक्ष का फल खाओ, और अपने अपने कुण्ड में से जल पीओ।

32 जब तक मैं आकर तुम्हें तेरे समान देश में न ले जाऊं, जो गेहूं और नए दाखमधु का देश, और रोटी और दाख की बारियों का देश, और जलपाई के वृक्षों, तेल और मधु का देश है; इस प्रकार तुम जीवित रहोगे और मरोगे नहीं; और हिजकिय्याह की न सुनोगे; क्योंकि वह तुम्हें यह कह कर भड़काता है, कि यहोवा हम को बचाएगा।

33 क्या अन्यजातियों के देवता अपके देश को अश्शूर के राजा के हाथ से बचा सकते थे?

34 हमात और अर्पाद के देवताओं का क्या हुआ? सेपरवैम, हेना और इवा के देवताओं का क्या हुआ? क्या उन्होंने सामरिया को मेरे हाथ से बचा लिया है?

35 और देश देश के सब देवताओंमें से जिन्होंने अपके देश को मेरे हाथ से बचाया, वे क्या हैं, जिस से यहोवा यरूशलेम को मेरे हाथ से बचाए?

36 परन्तु लोग चुप रहे, और उसे एक भी बात का उत्तर न दिया; क्योंकि राजा की ओर से यह आज्ञा मिली थी, कि तुम उसे उत्तर न देना।

37 तब हिल्किय्याह का पुत्र एल्याकीम जो भण्डारी था, और शेब्ना जो मन्त्री था, और आसाप का पुत्र योआ जो राजधिपति था, वे वस्त्र फाड़े हुए हिजकिय्याह के पास आए, और रबशाके की बातें उस से कह सुनाईं।

II Kings 18 Sennacherib invades Judah

 II Kings 18

Sennacherib invades Judah

13 But in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.

14 Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, "I have sinned; depart from me; whatever you impose on me I will take." Then the king of Assyria imposed on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

15 So Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king's house.

16 At that time Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord and from the doorposts that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan, and Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh, from Lachish, with a great army, to King Hezekiah, to Jerusalem: and they went up, and came to Jerusalem: and as they went up and came, they stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is by the way of the fuller's field.

 18 And they called the king: and Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.

 19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Tell Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which thou trustest? 

20 Thou sayest (but the word of thy lips is), There is counsel and power for war. In whom then do thou trust now, that thou rebellest against me? 

21 Now you trust in Egypt, a staff of broken reeds; if anyone leans on it, it will go through his hand and pierce it. This is how Pharaoh king of Egypt is to all who trust in him. 

22 But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the Lord our God,’ is this not the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You will bow down to this altar in Jerusalem?’ 

23 Now therefore give hostages to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to give them riders. 

24 How then can you turn away the face of one of the least of my lord’s servants? Yet you trust in Egypt because of the chariots and horsemen. 

25 Now therefore have I come up against this place without the Lord to destroy it? The Lord said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’

 26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in Syriac, for we understand it, and do not speak to us in Judah in the ears of the people who are on the wall."

 27 But Rabshakeh said to them, "Did my lord send me to speak these words only to your lord and to you, and not to the men who sit on the wall, so that they may eat their dung and drink their urine with you?" 

28 So Rabshakeh stood up and cried out with a loud voice in Judah, and spoke, and said, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria. 

29 Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand. 

30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’

31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria: ‘Make a bargain with me for a present, and come out to me, and let each of you eat his vine and his fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,

32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees, oil and honey; then you will live and not die. Do not listen to Hezekiah, for he is urging you, saying, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’

33 Have the gods of the nations been able to deliver each of their lands out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 What about the gods of Hamath and Arpad? What has become of the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

35 Who are they among all the gods of the lands who have delivered their land out of my hand, so that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

36 But the people kept silent and did not answer him a word, for the king had commanded, “You shall not answer him.”

37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

II Reis 18 Senaqueribe invade Judá

 

II Reis 18

Senaqueribe invade Judá

 

13 Porém no ano décimo quarto do rei Ezequias subiu Senaqueribe, rei da Assíria, contra todas as cidades fortes de Judá, e as tomou.

14 Então Ezequias, rei de Judá, enviou ao rei da Assíria, a Laquis, dizendo: Pequei; retira-te de mim; tudo o que me impuseres levarei. Então o rei da Assíria impôs a Ezequias, rei de Judá, trezentos talentos de prata e trinta talentos de ouro.

15 Assim deu Ezequias toda a prata que se achou na casa do Senhor e nos tesouros da casa do rei.

16 Naquele tempo cortou Ezequias o ouro das portas do templo do Senhor, e das ombreiras, de que Ezequias, rei de Judá, as cobrira, e o deu ao rei da Assíria.

17 Contudo enviou o rei da Assíria a Tartã, e a Rabsáris e a Rabsaqué, de Laquis, com um grande exército, ao rei Ezequias, a Jerusalém: e subiram, e vieram a Jerusalém: e, subindo e vindo eles, pararam ao pé do aqueduto da piscina superior, que está junto ao caminho do campo do lavadeiro.

18 E chamaram o rei, e saiu a eles Eliaquim, filho de Hilquias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joá, filho de Asafe, o chanceler.

19 E Rabsaqué lhes disse: Ora dizei a Ezequias: Assim diz o grande rei, o rei da Assíria: Que confiança é esta em que confias?

20 Dizes tu (porém a palavra de lábios é): Há conselho e poder para a guerra. Em quem pois agora confias, que contra mim te revoltas?

21 Eis que agora tu confias naquele bordão de cana quebrada, no Egito, no qual, se alguém se encostar, entrar-lhe-á pela mão e lha furará; assim é Faraó, rei do Egito, para com todos os que nele confiam.

22 Se porém me disserdes: No Senhor nosso Deus confiamos: porventura não é este aquele cujos altos e cujos altares Ezequias tirou, dizendo a Judá e a Jerusalém: Perante este altar vos inclinareis em Jerusalém?

23 Ora pois dá agora reféns ao meu senhor, o rei da Assíria, e dar-te-ei dois mil cavalos, se tu puderes dar cavaleiros para eles.

24 Como pois farias virar o rosto de um só príncipe dos menores servos de meu senhor? Porém tu confias no Egito, por causa dos carros e cavaleiros.

25 Agora pois subi eu porventura sem o Senhor contra este lugar, para o destruir? O Senhor me disse: Sobe contra esta terra, e destrói-a.

26 Então disse Eliaquim, filho de Hilquias, e Sebna, e Joá, a Rabsaqué: Rogamos-te que fales aos teus servos em siríaco; porque bem o entendemos e não nos fales em judaico, aos ouvidos do povo que está em cima do muro.

27 Porém Rabsaqué lhes disse: Porventura mandou-me meu senhor só a teu senhor e a ti, para falar estas palavras e não antes aos homens, que estão sentados em cima do muro, para que juntamente convosco comam o seu esterco e bebam a sua urina?

28 Rabsaqué pois se pôs em pé, e clamou em alta voz em judaico, e falou, e disse: Ouvi a palavra do grande rei, do rei da Assíria.

29 Assim diz o rei: Não vos engane Ezequias; porque não vos poderá livrar da sua mão;

30 Nem tão pouco vos faça Ezequias confiar no Senhor, dizendo: Certamente nos livrará o Senhor, e esta cidade não será entregue na mão do rei da Assíria.

31 Não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque assim diz o rei da Assíria: Contratai comigo por presentes, e saí a mim, e coma cada um a sua vide, e da sua figueira, e beba cada um água da sua cisterna,

32 Até que eu venha, e vos leve para uma terra como a vossa, terra de trigo e mosto, terra de pão e de vinhas, terra de oliveiras, de azeite, e de mel; e assim vivereis, e não morrereis: e não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque vos incita, dizendo: O Senhor nos livrará.

33 Porventura os deuses das nações puderam livrar, cada um a sua terra, das mãos do rei da Assíria?

34 Que é feito dos deuses de Hamate e de Arpade? Que é feito dos deuses de Sefarvaim, Hena e Iva? Porventura livraram Samaria da minha mão?

35 Quais são eles dentre todos os deuses das terras, os que livraram a sua terra da minha mão, para que o Senhor livrasse a Jerusalém da minha mão?

36 Porém calou-se o povo, e não lhe respondeu uma só palavra: porque mandado do rei havia, dizendo: Não lhe respondereis.

37 Então Eliaquim, filho de Hilquias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joá, filho de Asafe, o chanceler, vieram a Ezequias com os vestidos rasgados, e lhe fizeram saber as palavras de Rabsaqué.

 

 

द्वितीय राजा 18 हिजकिय्याह ने प्रभु की आराधना को पुनः स्थापित किया

 द्वितीय राजा 18

हिजकिय्याह ने प्रभु की आराधना को पुनः स्थापित किया

1 और इस्राएल के राजा एला के पुत्र होशे के तीसरे वर्ष में यहूदा के राजा आहाज का पुत्र हिजकिय्याह राज्य करने लगा।

2 जब वह राज्य करने लगा, तब वह पच्चीस वर्ष का या, और यरूशलेम में उनतीस वर्ष तक राज्य करता रहा; और उसकी माता का नाम अबी या, जो जकर्याह की बेटी थी।

3 और उस ने वही किया जो यहोवा की दृष्टि में ठीक था, अर्थात् उसके पिता दाऊद के समान।

4 उस ने ऊंचे स्थानोंको ढा दिया, और मूरतोंको तोड़ डाला, और जंगलोंको काट डाला, और पीतल के उस सांप को जो मूसा ने बनाया या, टुकड़े टुकड़े कर डाला; क्योंकि उस दिन तक इस्राएली उसके लिथे धूप जलाते रहे, और उसका नाम नेउस्तां रखा। .

5 उस ने इस्राएल के परमेश्वर यहोवा पर भरोसा रखा, यहां तक ​​कि उसके बाद यहूदा के सब राजाओं में, वा उस से पहिले के राजाओं में, उसके तुल्य कोई न हुआ।

6 क्योंकि वह यहोवा के पास आया, और उसके पीछे न हटा, और जो आज्ञा यहोवा ने मूसा को दी या, उन को वह मानता रहा।

7 इसलिये यहोवा उसके संग रहा; वह जहां कहीं जाता था वहां भी बुद्धिमानी से काम करता था, और अश्शूर के राजा से बलवा करता था, और उसकी सेवा न करता था।

8 और उस ने पलिश्तियोंको गाजा तक, और उसके सिवानोंपर, और पहरूए गुम्मट से ले कर दृढ़ नगर तक जीत लिया।

9 और ऐसा हुआ कि राजा हिजकिय्याह के चौथे वर्ष में, 9 जो एला के पुत्र इस्राएल के राजा होशे का सातवां वर्ष था, अश्शूर के राजा शल्मनेसेर ने शोमरोन पर चढ़ाई करके उसे घेर लिया।

10 और तीन वर्ष के बीतने पर उन्होंने उसे ले लिया, अर्थात हिजकिय्याह के छठे वर्ष में, जो इस्राएल के राजा होशे के राज्य का नौवां वर्ष था, जब उन्होंने शोमरोन पर अधिकार कर लिया।

11 और अश्शूर का राजा इस्राएल को बन्धुआई करके अश्शूर के पास ले गया; और उनको हलाह और हाबोर, और गोजान नदी के तीर पर, और मादियोंके नगरोंमें ले आया;

12 क्योंकि उस ने अपके परमेश्वर यहोवा की बात न मानी, वरन उसकी वाचा को तोड़ दिया; और जो जो आज्ञा यहोवा के दास मूसा ने दी, उसको उन्होंने न सुना, और न माना।

II Kings 18 Hezekiah Reestablishes the Worship of the Lord

 II Kings 18

Hezekiah Reestablishes the Worship of the Lord

1 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.

3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.

4 He removed the high places, broke the images, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until that day the children of Israel had burned incense to it; and they called it Nehushtan.

5 He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him.

6 For he cleaved to the Lord, and did not turn aside from following Him, and kept the commandments which the Lord had given to Moses.

7 So the Lord was with him; wherever he went out he behaved himself wisely; and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.

8 He defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza, and its borders, from the watchtower to the fortified city.

9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah (9 which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel), that Shalmaneser king of Assyria went up against Samaria, and besieged it.

10 And they took it at the end of three years, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, when they took Samaria.

 11 And the king of Assyria carried Israel away into Assyria, and brought them to Halah, and to Habor, by the river of Gozan, and to the cities of the Medes: 

12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant: and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded they neither hearkened unto, nor did.

II Reis 18 Ezequias restabelece o culto ao Senhor

 

II Reis 18

Ezequias restabelece o culto ao Senhor

 

1 E sucedeu que, no terceiro ano de Oséias, filho de Ela, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Ezequias, filho de Acaz, rei de Judá.

2 Tinha vinte cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e vinte e nove anos reinou em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Abi, filha de Zacarias.

3 E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizera Davi, seu pai.

4 Este tirou os altos, e quebrou as estátuas, e deitou abaixo os bosques, e fez em pedaços a serpente de metal que Moisés fizera: porquanto até àquele dia os filhos de Israel lhe queimavam incenso, e lhe chamaram Neustã.

5 No Senhor Deus de Israel confiou, de maneira que depois dele não houve seu semelhante entre todos os reis de Judá, nem entre os que foram antes dele.

6 Porque se chegou ao Senhor, não se apartou de após ele, e guardou os mandamentos que o Senhor tinha dado a Moisés.

7 Assim foi o Senhor com ele; para onde que que saía se conduzia com prudência: e se revoltou contra o rei da Assíria, e não o serviu.

8 Ele feriu os filisteus até Gaza, como também os termos dela, desde a torre das atalaias até à cidade forte.

9 E sucedeu, no quarto ano do rei Ezequias 9 que era o sétimo ano de Oséias, filho de Ela, rei de Israel), que Salmanasar, rei de Assíria, subiu contra Samaria, e a cercou.

10 E a tomaram ao fim de três anos, no sexto ano de Ezequias, que era o ano nono de Oséias, rei de Israel, quando tomaram Samaria.

11 E o rei da Assíria transportou a Israel para a Assíria: e os fez levar para Hala e para Habor, junto ao rio de Gozã, e às cidades dos medos;

12 Porquanto não obedeceu à voz do Senhor seu Deus, antes transpassaram o seu concerto: e tudo quanto Moisés, servo do Senhor, tinha ordenado, nem o ouviram nem o fizeram.
