< 2 Chronicles 23 >
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.
सातौँ वर्षमा यहोयादाले आफ्नो शक्ति प्रकट गरे र तिनले सय-सयका दलका कमाण्डरहरू, अर्थात् यहोरामका छोरा अजर्याह, येहोहानानका छोरा इश्माएल, ओबेदका छोरा अजर्याह, अदायाहका छोरा मासेयाह र जिक्रीका छोरा एलीशापातसित करार सम्झौता गरे ।
2 And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.
तिनीहरू यहूदाका चारैतिर गए र यहूदाका सबै सहरबाट लेवीहरूका साथै इस्राएलका पुर्ख्यौली घरानाका मुखियाहरूलाई भेला गरे र तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए ।
3 And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.
सबै सभाले परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा राजासित करार बाँधे । यहोयादाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुले दाऊदका सन्तानहरूका विषयमा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैं राजाका छोराले राज्य गर्नेछन् ।
4 This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;
तपाईंहरूले यसो गर्नुपर्छः शबाथमा आफ्नो काममा आउने पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूको एक तिहाइचाहिं ढोकाहरूका रक्षकहरू हुनुपर्छ ।
5 And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.
अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं राजमहलमा, र अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं जगको ढोकामा हुनुपर्छ । सबै मानिसचाहिं परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका चोकहरूमा हुनुपर्छ ।
6 But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.
सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूबाहेक अरू कसैलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र पस्न नदिनू । तिनीहरू भित्र पस्न सक्छन्, किनभने तिनीहरू अभिषेक गरिएका छन् । तर अरू सबै मानिसले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा मान्नुपर्छ ।
7 And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.
लेवीहरू हरेकले आआफ्नो हतियार हातमा बोकेर राजाका चारैतिर सुरक्षा दिनुपर्छ । कोही मन्दिरभित्र पस्यो भने, त्यसलाई मारिनुपर्छ । राजा भित्र आउँदा र बाहिर जाँदा तिनको साथमा हिंड्नुपर्छ ।”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.
यसैले यहोयादा पुजारीले आज्ञा गरेबमोजिम लेवीहरू र सबै यहूदाले सेवा गरे । हरेक जनाले शबाथमा सेवा गर्न आएका मानिसहरू, र शबाथमा सेवा गर्न छाडेकाहरूलाई लिए, किनकि यहोयादा पुजारीले कुनै पनि दललाई हटाएका थिएनन् ।
9 Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's and which were kept in the house of God.
त्यसपछि कमाण्डरहरूलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा भएका दाऊद राजाका भालाहरू, र साना तथा ठूला ढालहरू ल्याइदिए ।
10 And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.
यहोयादाले सबै फौजलाई आफ्नो हातमा हतियार लिई मन्दिरको दाहिनेदेखि देब्रेपट्टिसम्म राजालाई घेर्न वेदी र मन्दिरको छेउमा राखे ।
11 Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.
तब तिनीहरूले राजाका छोरालाई बाहिर ल्याए, तिनको शिरमा मुकुट लगाइदिए र तिनलाई करार-पत्र दिए । तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई राजा बनाए र यहोयादा र तिनका छोराहरूले तिनलाई अभिषेक गरे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले भने, “राजा अमर रहून् ।”
12 Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:
जब मानिसहरू दौडिरहेका र राजाको जयजयकार गरिरहेका हल्ला अतल्याहले सुनिन्, तब तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा तिनीहरूकहाँ आइन्,
13 And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!
र तिनले हेरिन् र हेर, राजा आफ्नो स्तम्भको छेउमा ढोकानेर खडा थिए र कमाण्डरहरू र तुरही फुक्नेहरू राजाका छेउमा थिए । देशका सबै मानिसहरूले उत्सव मनाउँदै र तुरही बजाउँदै थिए । अनि गायकहरूले बाजाहरू बजाउँदै थिए र प्रशंसाको गानको नेतृत्व गरिरहेका थिए । तब अतल्याहले आफ्ना लुगा च्यातिन् र कराएर भनिन्, “राजद्रोह! राजद्रोह!”
14 Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
तब यहोयादा पुजारीले फौजका सय-सयका दलका कमाण्डरहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिनलाई मन्दिरको बाहिर ल्याओ । तिनको पछि लाग्ने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति तरवारले मारियोस् ।” किनकि पुजारीले भनेका थिए, “तिनलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा नमार ।”
15 So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.
यसैले तिनी राजाको घोडा ढोकामा आएको बेला तिनीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनलाई त्यहीं मारे ।
16 And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord's people.
त्यसपछि यहोयादाले आफै र सबै मानिस र राजाको बिचमा तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको मानिस हुनुपर्छ भनी करार बाँधे ।
17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.
यसैले सबै मानिसहरू बालको मन्दिरमा गए र त्यसलाई भत्काए । बालका वेदीहरू र त्यसका मूर्तिहरूलाई तिनीहरूले टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारे, र बालको पुजारी मत्तानलाई वेदीहरूका अगि मारे ।
18 And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said.
यहोयादाले परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको हेर-विचार गर्नको निम्ति पुजारीहरूका अधीनमा अधिकृतहरूको नियुक्ती गरे, जो लेवीहरू थिए । आफ्नो समयदेखि नै स्तुतिगान गर्दै र आनन्द मनाउँदै मोशाको व्यवस्थामा तोकिएबमोजिम र दाऊदले दिएको निर्देशन बमोजिम परमप्रभुको निम्ति होमबलि चढाउन र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा काम गर्न दाऊदले तिनीहरूलाई खटाइदिएका थिए ।
19 And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.
अशुद्ध भएको कुनै मानिसलाई भित्र पस्न नदिनलाई यहोयादाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका मूल ढोकाहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखिदिए ।
20 Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.
यहोयादाले सयका कमण्डरहरू, भारदारहरू, मानिसका गभर्नरहरू र देशका सारा मानिसहरूलाई लिए । तिनले राजालाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट तल ल्याए । मानिसहरू माथिल्लो ढोकाबाट भएर राजमहलमा पसे, र राजालाई सिंहासनमा बसाले ।
21 So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
यसरी देशका सारा मानिसहरू आनन्दित भए, र सहरमा शान्ति भयो । अतल्याहलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारले मारेका थिए ।
