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 ।
In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took 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—into a covenant with him.
2 तिनीहरू यहूदाका चारैतिर गए र यहूदाका सबै सहरबाट लेवीहरूका साथै इस्राएलका पुर्ख्यौली घरानाका मुखियाहरूलाई भेला गरे र तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए ।
They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households 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 ।
All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as Yahweh 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 you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
5 अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं राजमहलमा, र अर्को एक तिहाइचाहिं जगको ढोकामा हुनुपर्छ । सबै मानिसचाहिं परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका चोकहरूमा हुनुपर्छ ।
A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of Yahweh’s house.
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 no one come into Yahweh’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Yahweh’s instructions.
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 shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be 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. They each took 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 didn’t dismiss the shift.
9 त्यसपछि कमाण्डरहरूलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा भएका दाऊद राजाका भालाहरू, र साना तथा ठूला ढालहरू ल्याइदिए ।
Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
10 यहोयादाले सबै फौजलाई आफ्नो हातमा हतियार लिई मन्दिरको दाहिनेदेखि देब्रेपट्टिसम्म राजालाई घेर्न वेदी र मन्दिरको छेउमा राखे ।
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, near the altar and the house, around the king.
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, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “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 praising the king, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house.
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!”
Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, 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 ।”
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in Yahweh’s house.”
15 यसैले तिनी राजाको घोडा ढोकामा आएको बेला तिनीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनलाई त्यहीं मारे ।
So they made way for her. 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 ।
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’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 ।
All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, 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 ।
Jehoiada appointed the officers of Yahweh’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in Yahweh’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
19 अशुद्ध भएको कुनै मानिसलाई भित्र पस्न नदिनलाई यहोयादाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका मूल ढोकाहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखिदिए ।
He set the gatekeepers at the gates of Yahweh’s house, that no one 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 ।
He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from Yahweh’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on 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. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
