< 2 Kings 22 >

1 Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years. His mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah. She came from Bozkath.
योशियाहले राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी आठ वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा एकतिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ यदीता थियो (उनी बोस्कतकी अदायाहकी छोरी थिइन्) ।
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, and followed all the ways of David his forefather—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे ठिक थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे । तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदका सबै मार्गमा हिंडे, र तिनी दायाँ र बायाँ लागेनन् ।
3 In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the Lord's Temple. He said,
राजा योशियाहको अठारौँ वर्षमा तिनले मशुल्लामका नाति, असल्याहका छोरा सचिव शापानलाई यसो भनेर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पठाए,
4 “Go to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money the doorkeepers have collected from the people coming to the Lord's Temple.
“प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहकहाँ जाऊ, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याइएको रुपियाँ-पैसा जसलाई मन्दिरका पहरादारहरूले मानिसहरूबाट जम्मा गरेका छन्, त्‍यो गन्‍न तिनलाई भन ।
5 Then hand it over to those who are supervising the work on Lord's Temple, and have them pay the workmen doing the repairing of the Lord's Temple,
परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको रेखदेख गर्ने मानिसहरूका हातमा त्‍यो दिनू, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर मर्मत गर्ने कारिन्‍दाहरूलाई मन्‍दिरको मरम्‍मत गर्ने कामको निम्‍ति त्‍यो देऊन् ।
6 the carpenters, the builders and the masons. In addition have them purchase timber and cut stone to repair the Temple.
मन्दिरको मर्मत गर्ने सिकर्मीहरू, निर्माण गर्नेहरू, र डकर्मीहरूलाई अनि काठपात किन्‍न र ढुङ्गा काटनलाई तिनीहरूले त्यो रुपियाँ-पैसा देऊन् ।”
7 Don't ask for any accounts from the men who received the money because they deal honestly.”
तर तिनीहरूलाई दिइएको रुपियाँ-पैसाको हरहिसाब लिइएन किनकि तिनीहरूले यो कामलाई विश्‍वासका साथ सम्हालेका थिए ।
8 Hilkiah the high priest told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan who read it.
प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहले सचिव शापानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक भेट्टाएको छु ।” त्यसैले हिल्कियाहले त्यो पुस्तक शापानलाई दिए, र तिनले यो पढे ।
9 Shaphan the scribe went to the king and to give him a report, saying, “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the Lord's Temple and have handed it over to those appointed to supervise the work at the Lord's Temple.”
शापानले त्यो किताब राजाकहाँ लगे, र तिनलाई यसो भनी विवरण दिए, “तपाईंका दासहरूले मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका रुपियाँ-पैसा खर्च गरेका छन्, र तिनीहरूले यो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको रेखदेख गर्ने कारिन्‍दहरूका हातमा दिएका छन् ।”
10 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
तब सचिव शापानले राजालाई भने, “प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहले मलाई एउटा पुस्तक दिएका छन् ।” तब शापानले त्यो राजाको लागि पढे ।
11 When the king heard what was in the book of the Law, he tore his clothes.
जब राजाले व्यवस्थाका वचनहरू सुने तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते ।
12 Then he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Acbor, son of Micaiah, Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah the king's assistant, saying,
राजाले पुजारी हिल्कियाह, शापानका छोरा अहीकाम, मीकायाका छोरा अक्बोर, सचिव शापान र राजाका आफ्नै सेवक असायाहलाई हुकुम गरे,
13 “Go and talk to the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all of Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us, because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions in this book; they have not been doing what is written there for us to do.”
“जाओ, र यस पुस्तकमा पाइएका वचनहरूको कारणले मेरो लागि र सारा यहूदाका लागि परमप्रभुको सल्‍लाह खोज । किनकि हाम्रा विरुद्धमा भएको परमप्रभुको क्रोध भयानक छ, किनभने यस पुस्तकमा भएका हाम्रा सम्‍बन्‍धका वचनलाई हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले जसरी पालन गर्नुपर्थ्‍यो त्‍यसरी तिनीहरूले गरेनन् ।”
14 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
त्यसैले पुजारी हिल्कियाह, अहीकाम, अक्बोर, शापान र असायाह अगमवादिनी हुल्दाकहाँ गए । उनी दरबारका लुगाफाटो हेरचाह गर्ने हरहसका नाति, तिक्भाका छोरा शल्लूमकी पत्‍नी थिइन् । (उनी यरूशलेमको दोस्रो टोलमा बस्थिन्) । तिनीहरूले उनीसित कुरा गरे ।
15 She told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
उनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरूलाई मकहाँ पठाउने मानिसलाई भन्,
16 this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with everything written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
“परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः हेर्, यहूदाका राजाले यस पुस्तकमा पढेअनुसार यस ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दाहरूमा म विपत्ति ल्याउनेछु ।
17 They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागे अनि अन्य देवताहरूलाई धूप बाले, यसरी तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै कामले तिनीहरूले मलाई रिस उठाए— यसकारण यस ठाउँको विरुद्धमा मेरो क्रोध दन्केको छ, र यो निभाइने छैन' ।”
18 But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for what you heard read to you—
तर परमप्रभुको इच्छा जान्‍न तिमीहरूलाई पठाउने यहूदाका राजालाई चाहिं तिमीहरूले यसो भन, 'तपाईंले सुन्‍नुभएको वचनको विषयमा इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः
19 because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people—that would become desolate and a curse—and because you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
तिनीहरू उजाड र श्रापित हुनेछन् भनी मैले यस ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दाहरूको विरुद्धमा भनेको सुनेर तैँले आफ्‍नो ह्रदय कोमल बनाएको र तैँले परमप्रभुको सामु आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्याएको अनि तैँले आफ्ना लुगा च्यातेको र मेरो सामु रोएका हुनाले मैले तेरो कुरा पनि सुनेको छु—यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
20 All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
हेर्, म तँलाई तेरा पुर्खाहरूसित जम्मा गर्नेछु, र तँ शान्तिसित तेरो चिहानमा जानेछस् । मैले यस ठाउँमा ल्याउने सबै विपत्तिलाई तेरा आँखाले देख्‍नेछैनस् । यसरी मानिसहरूले राजाकहाँ यो सन्देश लिएर गए ।
