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 ।
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself and made a covenant with the commanders of hundreds—with Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
2 तिनीहरू यहूदाका चारैतिर गए र यहूदाका सबै सहरबाट लेवीहरूका साथै इस्राएलका पुर्ख्यौली घरानाका मुखियाहरूलाई भेला गरे र तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए ।
So they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah and the heads of the families of Israel. And when 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 ।
the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. “Behold, the king’s son!” said Jehoiada. “He must reign, just as the LORD promised concerning the descendants of David.
4 तपाईंहरूले यसो गर्नुपर्छः शबाथमा आफ्नो काममा आउने पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूको एक तिहाइचाहिं ढोकाहरूका रक्षकहरू हुनुपर्छ ।
This is what you are to do: A third of you priests and Levites who come on duty on the Sabbath shall keep watch at the doors,
5 अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं राजमहलमा, र अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं जगको ढोकामा हुनुपर्छ । सबै मानिसचाहिं परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका चोकहरूमा हुनुपर्छ ।
a third shall be at the royal palace, and a third at the Foundation Gate, while all the others are in the courtyards of the house of the LORD.
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 ।
No one is to enter the house of the LORD except the priests and those Levites who serve; they may enter because they are consecrated, but all the people are to obey the requirement of the LORD.
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 ।”
The Levites must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who enters the temple must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
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 everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—for Jehoiada the priest had not released any of the divisions.
9 त्यसपछि कमाण्डरहरूलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा भएका दाऊद राजाका भालाहरू, र साना तथा ठूला ढालहरू ल्याइदिए ।
Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and the large and small shields of King David that were in the house of God.
10 यहोयादाले सबै फौजलाई आफ्नो हातमा हतियार लिई मन्दिरको दाहिनेदेखि देब्रेपट्टिसम्म राजालाई घेर्न वेदी र मन्दिरको छेउमा राखे ।
He stationed all the troops, with their weapons in hand, surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
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 Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him and shouted, “Long live the king!”
12 जब मानिसहरू दौडिरहेका र राजाको जयजयकार गरिरहेका हल्ला अतल्याहले सुनिन्, तब तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा तिनीहरूकहाँ आइन्,
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and cheering the king, she went out to them in the house of the LORD.
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 out and saw the king standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, while the singers with musical instruments were leading the praises. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “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 sent out the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, saying, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
15 यसैले तिनी राजाको घोडा ढोकामा आएको बेला तिनीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनलाई त्यहीं मारे ।
So they seized Athaliah as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate to the palace grounds, and there they put her to death.
16 त्यसपछि यहोयादाले आफै र सबै मानिस र राजाको बिचमा तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको मानिस हुनुपर्छ भनी करार बाँधे ।
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’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 ।
So all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of 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 ।
Moreover, Jehoiada put the oversight of the house of the LORD into the hands of the Levitical priests, whom David had appointed over the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD as is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and song, as ordained by David.
19 अशुद्ध भएको कुनै मानिसलाई भित्र पस्न नदिनलाई यहोयादाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका मूल ढोकाहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखिदिए ।
He stationed gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, so that nothing unclean could enter for any reason.
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 ।
He also took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace through the Upper Gate. They seated King Joash on the royal throne,
21 यसरी देशका सारा मानिसहरू आनन्दित भए, र सहरमा शान्ति भयो । अतल्याहलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारले मारेका थिए ।
and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword.
