2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto 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 had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, 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 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
तिनीहरूले नियमित समयमा मनाउन सकेनन्, किनभने उत्सवको निम्ति पर्याप्त पुजारीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारेका र मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा एकसाथ भेला हुन सकेका थिएनन् ।
4 And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation.
यो प्रस्ताव राजा र सारा समुदायको दृष्टिमा असल लाग्यो ।
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.
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 posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand 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 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye 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 be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may 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 ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto 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 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, 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 divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
तापनि आशेर, मनश्शे र जबूलूनका कोही मानिसले आफैलाई नम्र तुल्याए र यरूशलेममा आए ।
12 Also in Judah was the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of the LORD.
परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले दिएको हुकुम एकमत भई पालन गर्न परमेश्वरको हात यहूदाका मानिसहरूमा पनि आयो ।
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
धेरै मानिसहरू, अर्थात् एउटा साह्रै ठूलो समुदाय दोस्रो महिनामा अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्न यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
14 And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
तिनीहरू उठे र यरूशलेममा भएका वेदीहरू, र धूप बाल्ने सबै वेदीसमेत हटाइदिए, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई किद्रोनको खोल्सामा फ्याँकिदिए ।
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into 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 And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of 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 For there were many in the congregation that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto 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 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
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 that setteth his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
जो पवित्र स्थानका शुद्धीकरणको मनकबमोजिम शुद्ध नभए तापनि परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्ने सङ्कल्प गरेको छ ।”
20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
यसैले परमप्रभुले हिजकियाको प्रार्थना सुन्नुभयो, र मानिसहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।
21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto 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 spake comfortably unto all the Levites that were well skilled [in the service] of the LORD. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession 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 And the whole congregation took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.
सारा समुदाय अरू सात दिनसम्म चाड मान्न सहमत भए, र तिनीहरूले रमाहटसित सो गरे ।
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified 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 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
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 joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
यसरी यरूशलेममा ठुलो रमाहट भयो, किनभने त्यस्तो त इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनको पालोदेखि यता त्यहाँ भएको थिएन ।
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even unto heaven.
तब पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू खडा भए र मानिसहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए । तिनीहरूको आवाज सुनियो, र तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना स्वर्गमा परमेश्वरको बस्नुहुने पवित्र वासस्थानसम्मै पुग्यो ।
