2 Chronicles 30
1 Then Hezekiah sent word throughout all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh inviting them to come to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel.
हिजकियाले सबै इस्राएल र यहूदाकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए र एफ्राइम र मनश्शेलाई चिट्ठीहरू पनि लेखे ताकि तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको निम्ति निस्तार-चाड मान्न यरूशलेमको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आउन् ।
2 For the king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to keep the Passover in the second month,
किनकि राजा, तिनका अगुवाहरू र यरूशलेममा भेला भएका सबै समुदायले मिलेर सल्लाह गरी दोस्रो महिनामा निस्तार-चाड मनाउने सहमती गरे ।
3 since they had been unable to observe it at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not been gathered in Jerusalem.
तिनीहरूले नियमित समयमा मनाउन सकेनन्, किनभने उत्सवको निम्ति पर्याप्त पुजारीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारेका र मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा एकसाथ भेला हुन सकेका थिएनन् ।
4 This proposal pleased the king and the whole assembly.
यो प्रस्ताव राजा र सारा समुदायको दृष्टिमा असल लाग्यो ।
5 So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it as a nation as prescribed.
यसैले तिनीहरूले बेर्शेबादेखि दानसम्मै परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको निम्ति निस्तार-चाड मान्न मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा आउनैपर्छ भनी सारा इस्राएलभरि घोषणा गर्ने कुरामा सहमत भए । किनकि यसअघि लेखिएबमोजिम मानिसहरूका यति धेरै सङ्ख्याले यो चाड मानेका थिएनन् ।
6 So the couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his officials, which read: “Children of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that He may return to those of you who remain, who have escaped the grasp of the kings of Assyria.
यसैले राजाको हुकुमअनुसार राजा र तिनका अगुवाहरूका पत्रहरू लिएर पत्रवाहकहरू सारा इस्राएल र यहूदाभरि गए । तिनीहरूले भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू हो, अब्राहाम, इसहाक र इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरतिर तिमीहरू फर्क, ताकि अश्शूरका राजाहरूका हातबाट उम्कनेहरूतिर उहाँ पनि फर्कनुभएको होस् ।
7 Do not be like your fathers and brothers who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He made them an object of horror, as you can see.
तिमीहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरू वा आफ्ना दाजुभाइजस्तै नहोओ, जसले परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा विश्वासघात गरे, जसले गर्दा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई त्रासका पात्र तुल्याउनुभयो, जुन तिमीहरूले देख्छौ ।
8 Now do not stiffen your necks as your fathers did. Submit to the LORD and come to His sanctuary, which He has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that His fierce anger will turn away from you.
तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूझैं तिमीहरू पनि हठी नहोओ । बरू तिमीहरू आफूलाई परमप्रभुमा समर्पण गर, र उहाँले सदासर्वदाको निम्ति पवित्र पार्नुभएको उहाँको पवित्रस्थानमा प्रवेश गर, र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आराधना गर, ताकि उहाँको भयानक क्रोध तिमीहरूबाट हटोस् ।
9 For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and sons will receive mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”
किनकि तिमीहरू परमप्रभुतिर फर्क्यौ भने, तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइ र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई कैद गरेर लैजानेहरूबाट तिनीहरूले दया पाउने छन्, र तिनीहरू यस देशमा फर्केर आउन पाउने छन् । किनभने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर दयालु र करुणामय हुनुहुन्छ, र तिमीहरू उहाँतर्फ फर्क्यौ भने, उहाँ तिमीहरूबाट फर्कनुहुने छैन ।”
10 And the couriers traveled from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun; but the people scorned and mocked them.
यसैले ती पत्रवाहकहरू एफ्राइम र मनश्शेका प्रदेशहरूभरि नै सहर-सहरमा भएर जबूलूनसम्मै गए, तर मानिसहरूलाई हेरेर हाँसे र तिनीहरूको गिल्ला गरे ।
11 Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
तापनि आशेर, मनश्शे र जबूलूनका कोही मानिसले आफैलाई नम्र तुल्याए र यरूशलेममा आए ।
12 Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.
परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले दिएको हुकुम एकमत भई पालन गर्न परमेश्वरको हात यहूदाका मानिसहरूमा पनि आयो ।
13 In the second month, a very great assembly gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
धेरै मानिसहरू, अर्थात् एउटा साह्रै ठूलो समुदाय दोस्रो महिनामा अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्न यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
14 They proceeded to remove the altars in Jerusalem and to take away the incense altars and throw them into the Kidron Valley.
तिनीहरू उठे र यरूशलेममा भएका वेदीहरू, र धूप बाल्ने सबै वेदीसमेत हटाइदिए, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई किद्रोनको खोल्सामा फ्याँकिदिए ।
15 And on the fourteenth day of the second month they slaughtered the Passover lamb. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.
तब तिनीहरूले दोस्रो महिनाको चौधौँ दिनमा निस्तार-चाडको थुमा मारे । पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू साह्रै लज्जित भए । यसैले तिनीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध गरे, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा होमबलि ल्याए ।
16 They stood at their prescribed posts, according to the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood, which they received from the hand of the Levites.
तब परमेश्वरका मानिस मोशाको व्यवस्थाले दिएको निर्देशनअनुसार तिनीहरू आआफ्नो स्थानमा दल-दल भएर खडा भए । पुजारीहरूले लेवीहरूबाट लिएको रगत वेदीमा छर्के ।
17 Since there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves, the Levites were in charge of slaughtering the Passover lambs for every unclean person to consecrate the lambs to the LORD.
किनकि आफूलाई शुद्ध नपारेकाहरू समुदायमा धेरै जना थिए । यसैकारण आफैलाई शुद्ध नपारेका र परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने आआफ्नो थुमा अर्पण नगरेकाहरू सबैका निम्ति लेवीहरूले निस्तार-चाडका थुमाहरू मारे ।
18 A large number of the people—many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun—had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah interceded for them, saying, “May the LORD, who is good, provide atonement for everyone
एफ्राइम, मनश्शे, इस्साखार र जबूलूनबाट आएकामध्ये धेरै जनाले आफैलाई शुद्ध पारेका थिएनन्, तापनि तिनीहरूले लेखिएको निर्देशनहरूको विरुद्ध निस्तार-चाडको भोज खाए । किनकि हिजकियाले यसो भनेर तिनीहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरेका थिए, “भला हुनुहुने परमप्रभुले हरेक व्यक्तिलाई क्षमा गर्नुभएको होस्
19 who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not cleansed according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.”
जो पवित्र स्थानका शुद्धीकरणको मनकबमोजिम शुद्ध नभए तापनि परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्ने सङ्कल्प गरेको छ ।”
20 And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
यसैले परमप्रभुले हिजकियाको प्रार्थना सुन्नुभयो, र मानिसहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।
21 The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and priests praised the LORD day after day, accompanied by loud instruments of praise to the LORD.
यरूशलेममा उपस्थित भएका इस्राएलका मनिसहरूले सात दिनसम्म ठुलो रमाहटको साथ अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मनाए । लेवीहरू र पुजारीहरूले ठुलो स्वरमा परमप्रभुका बाजाहरू बजाएर दिनहुँ परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गरे ।
22 And Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites who performed skillfully before the LORD. For seven days they ate their assigned portion, sacrificing fellowship offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
परमप्रभुको सेवा बुझेका सबै लेवीलाई हिजकियाले उत्साहको वचनले बोले । यसरी मेलबलिका बलिदानहरू चढाउँदै, र परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरसँग आफ्ना पापहरू स्वीकार गर्दै र तिनीहरूले चाडका सात दिनभरि खाँदै बिताए ।
23 The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.
सारा समुदाय अरू सात दिनसम्म चाड मान्न सहमत भए, र तिनीहरूले रमाहटसित सो गरे ।
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials contributed a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly, and a great number of priests consecrated themselves.
किनकि यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाले समुदायको निम्ति एक हजार साँढे र सात हजार भेडा बलिदानको रूपमा दिए । अनि अगुवाहरूले समुदायको निम्ति एक हजार साँढे र दश हजार भेडा दिए । ठुलो संख्यामा पुजारीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे ।
25 Then the whole assembly of Judah rejoiced along with the priests and Levites and the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah.
यहूदाका सारा समुदाय, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूसमेत, अनि इस्राएलबाट आएका सबै समुदायसाथ इस्राएल र यहूदामा बसोबास गर्ने विदेशीहरूले पनि रमाहट गरे ।
26 So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel.
यसरी यरूशलेममा ठुलो रमाहट भयो, किनभने त्यस्तो त इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनको पालोदेखि यता त्यहाँ भएको थिएन ।
27 Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.
तब पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू खडा भए र मानिसहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए । तिनीहरूको आवाज सुनियो, र तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना स्वर्गमा परमेश्वरको बस्नुहुने पवित्र वासस्थानसम्मै पुग्यो ।
