< २ इतिहास 23 >
1 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 ।
And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
2 तिनीहरू यहूदाका चारैतिर गए र यहूदाका सबै सहरबाट लेवीहरूका साथै इस्राएलका पुर्ख्यौली घरानाका मुखियाहरूलाई भेला गरे र तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए ।
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 सबै सभाले परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा राजासित करार बाँधे । यहोयादाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुले दाऊदका सन्तानहरूका विषयमा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैं राजाका छोराले राज्य गर्नेछन् ।
And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 तपाईंहरूले यसो गर्नुपर्छः शबाथमा आफ्नो काममा आउने पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूको एक तिहाइचाहिं ढोकाहरूका रक्षकहरू हुनुपर्छ ।
This is the thing that ye shall do: A third part of you who come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds,
5 अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं राजमहलमा, र अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं जगको ढोकामा हुनुपर्छ । सबै मानिसचाहिं परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका चोकहरूमा हुनुपर्छ ।
and a third part shall be at the king's house, and a third part at the gate of the foundation. And all the people shall be in the courts of the house of Jehovah.
6 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 ।
But let none come into the house of Jehovah except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in for they are holy, but all the people shall keep the charge of Jehovah.
7 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 ।”
And the Levites shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand. And whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. And be ye with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out.
8 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 ।
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath. For Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the divisions.
9 त्यसपछि कमाण्डरहरूलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा भएका दाऊद राजाका भालाहरू, र साना तथा ठूला ढालहरू ल्याइदिए ।
And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
10 यहोयादाले सबै फौजलाई आफ्नो हातमा हतियार लिई मन्दिरको दाहिनेदेखि देब्रेपट्टिसम्म राजालाई घेर्न वेदी र मन्दिरको छेउमा राखे ।
And he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.
11 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 ।”
Then they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they said, Live, O king.
12 जब मानिसहरू दौडिरहेका र राजाको जयजयकार गरिरहेका हल्ला अतल्याहले सुनिन्, तब तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा तिनीहरूकहाँ आइन्,
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.
13 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!”
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king. And all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. The singers also played on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, Treason! treason!
14 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 ।”
And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks. And whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword, for the priest said, Do not slay her in the house of Jehovah.
15 यसैले तिनी राजाको घोडा ढोकामा आएको बेला तिनीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनलाई त्यहीं मारे ।
So they made way for her. And she went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king's house, and they killed her there.
16 त्यसपछि यहोयादाले आफै र सबै मानिस र राजाको बिचमा तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको मानिस हुनुपर्छ भनी करार बाँधे ।
And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah's people.
17 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 ।
And all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 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 ।
And Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.
19 अशुद्ध भएको कुनै मानिसलाई भित्र पस्न नदिनलाई यहोयादाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका मूल ढोकाहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखिदिए ।
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of Jehovah that no man who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20 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 ।
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the mighty men, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah. And they came through the upper gate to the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21 यसरी देशका सारा मानिसहरू आनन्दित भए, र सहरमा शान्ति भयो । अतल्याहलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारले मारेका थिए ।
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
