२ इतिहास 29

1 हिजकियाले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पच्‍चिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा उनन्‍तिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अबिया थियो । तिनी जकरियाकी छोरी थिइन् ।

Hezekiah began to reign being twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah.

2 आफ्‍ना पुर्खा दाऊदले गरेझैं परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे असल थियो सो तिनले गरे ।

And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.

3 तिनको राजकालको पहिलो वर्षको पहिलो महिनामा हिजकियाले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरका ढोकाहरू खोले र तिनको मरम्‍मत गरे ।

He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them.

4 तिनले पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई ल्‍याए र तिनीहरूलाई पूर्वपट्टिको चोकमा एकसाथ भेला गराए ।

And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them into the open place eastward;

5 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “ए लेवीहरू हो, मेरा कुरा सुन! आफू-आफूलाई पवित्र गर, र आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको मन्‍दिरलाई पवित्र पार, र पवित्रस्‍थानबाट अपवित्र कुरा हटाइदेओ ।

and he said to them, Hear me, ye Levites: hallow yourselves now, and hallow the house of Jehovah the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary.

6 किनकि हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले पाप गरे र परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो सो गरे । तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई त्‍यागे, परमप्रभुको बस्‍नुहुने ठाउँबाट आफ्नो मुहारहरू फर्काए, र त्यसतर्फ आफ्‍ना पीठ फर्काए ।

For our fathers have transgressed, and done evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and have turned their backs.

7 तिनीहरूले दलानका ढोकाहरू पनि बन्‍द गरिदिए र बत्तीहरू निभाए । तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको पवित्रस्‍थानमा धूप बाल्‍न र होमबलि चढाउन छोडिदिए ।

Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered up burnt-offerings in the sanctuary to the God of Israel.

8 यसकारण परमप्रभुको क्रोध यहूदा र यरूशलेममाथि परेको थियो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डर, आतङ्क र घृणाका पात्र बनाउनुभएको छ, जस्‍तो तिमीहरूका आफ्नै आँखाले तिमीहरू देख्‍न सक्छौ ।

Therefore the wrath of Jehovah has been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to vexation, to desolation, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

9 त्‍यसकाणले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू तरवारले मारिएका छन्, र हाम्रा छोराहरू, हाम्री छोरीहरू र हाम्री पत्‍नीहरू यसैले कैदमा छन्‌ ।

And behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

10 अब इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरसँग एउटा करार गर्ने कुरा मेरो हृदयमा छ, ताकि उहाँको प्रचण्‍ड क्रोध हामीहरूबाट हटोस् ।

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

11 ए मेरा छोराहरू, अब अल्छे नहोओ, किनकि परमप्रभुले उहाँको आराधना गर्नलाई उहाँको सामु खडा हुन, र तिमीहरू उहाँका सेवकहरू होऊ र धूप बाल भनेर तिमीहरूलाई चुन्‍नुभएको छ ।”

My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah has chosen you to stand before him, to do service unto him, and to be his ministers and incense-burners.

12 तब लेवीहरू खडा भएः कहातीहरूका मानिसहरूबाट अमासैका छोरा महत र अजर्याहका छोरा योएल, अनि मरारीहरूका मानिसहरूबाट अब्‍दीका छोरा कीश र यहललेलका छोरा अजर्याह, अनि गेर्शोनीहरूबाट जिम्‍माहका छोरा योआ र योआका छोरा अदन ।

Then the Levites rose up, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalleleel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;

13 एलीजापानका छोराहरूबाट शिम्री र यहीएल, अनि आसापका छोराहरूबाट जकरिया र मत्तन्‍याह ।

and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

14 हेमानका छोराहरूबाट यहीएल र शिमी, अनि यदूतूनका छोराहरूबाट शमायाह र उज्‍जीएल ।

and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 तिनीहरूले आआफ्‍ना दाजुभाइलाई भेला गराए, र तिनीहरूले आफैलाई पवित्र गरे, अनि परमप्रभुको वचनको अनुसरण गर्दै राजाले हुकुम गरेबमोजिम परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरलाई शुद्ध पार्न तिनीहरू त्‍यसभित्र पसे ।

And they gathered their brethren, and hallowed themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.

16 परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिर शुद्ध गर्न पुजारीहरू त्यसको भित्री भागमा पसे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरभित्र भेट्टाएका सबै अशुद्ध कुराहरू बाहिर परमप्रभुका मन्‍दिरको चोकमा ल्‍याए । लेवीहरूले ती कुराहरू बोकेर किद्रोन खोल्‍सामा लगे ।

And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Jehovah to cleanse it, and carried forth all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah, into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it to carry it forth into the brook Kidron.

17 पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा तिनीहरूले शुद्ध पार्ने काम सुरु गरे । आठौँ दिनमा तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको दलानसम्‍म पुगेका थिए । अनि अझै आठ दिनसम्‍म तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिर पवित्र गरिरहे । पहिलो महिनाको सोह्रौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले त्‍यो काम सिद्ध्याए ।

And they began on the first of the first month to hallow, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of Jehovah; and they hallowed the house of Jehovah eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

18 त्‍यसपछि तिनीहरू राजमहलभित्र हिजकिया राजाकहाँ गए र भने, “हामीले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिर जम्‍मै पवित्र गरिसक्‍यौं, अर्थात्‌ होमबलिको वेदी, त्‍यसका सबै भाँडाकुँडासमेत, अनि अर्पण गरिएको रोटी राख्‍ने टेबल, त्‍यसका सबै सामानसमेत ।

And they went in to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the table of the [bread] to be set in rows, and all its vessels;

19 यसैले हामीले राजा आहाजले आफ्‍नो शासनकालमा विश्‍वासघाती भएर हटाएका जम्‍मै सरसामान पनि हामीले तयारी र पवित्र गर्‍यौँ । हेर्नुहोस्, ती परमप्रभुका वेदीको सामुन्‍ने राखिएका छन्‌ ।”

and all the vessels that king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression have we prepared and hallowed, and behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.

20 तब राजा हिजकिया बिहान सबेरै उठेर सहरका अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गराए । तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा उक्‍लेर गए ।

And Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah.

21 तिनीहरूले सात वटा साँढे, सात वटा भेडा र सात वटा थुमा ल्‍याए, अनि राज्‍य, पवित्रस्‍थान र यहूदाको लागि पापबलिको निम्‍ति सात वटा बोका ल्‍याए । तिनले पुजारीहरू, हारूनका छोराहरूलाई यी सबै परमप्रभुको वेदीमा चढाउने हुकुम गरे ।

And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats for a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer [them] upon the altar of Jehovah.

22 यसैले तिनीहरूले ती साँढेहरू मारे, र पुजारीहरूले तिनका रगत लिएर वेदीमा छर्के । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले भेडाहरू मारे, र तिनका रगत लिएर वेदीमा छर्के, र तिनीहरूले थुमाहरू पनि मारे र तिनका रगत वेदीमा छर्के ।

And they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

23 तिनीहरूले पापबलिको निम्‍ति बोकाहरू राजा र समुदायको अघि ल्‍याए । तिनीहरूले तीमाथि आआफ्‍ना हात राखे ।

And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them.

24 पुजारीहरूले ती बोकाहरू मारे, र सारा इस्राएलको निम्‍ति प्रायश्‍चित गर्न पापबलि स्‍वरूप वेदीमा चढाए, किनकि होमबलि र पापबलिचाहिं सारा इस्राएलको निम्‍ति चढाउनुपर्छ भन्‍ने हुकुम राजाले दिएका थिए ।

And the priests slaughtered them, and they made purification for sin with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all Israel, said the king, is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.

25 हिजकियाले लेवीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरको मन्‍दिरमा दाऊद राजा, राजाका दर्शी गाद र नातान अगमवक्ताले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार झ्‍याली, वीणा र सारङ्गीका साथमा आआफ्‍नो काममा खटाए, किनकि यो आज्ञा परमप्रभुले आफ्‍ना अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा दिनुभएको थियो ।

And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah through his prophets.

26 लेवीहरू दाऊदका बाजाहरू र पुजारीहरू तुरहीहरू लिएर खडा भए ।

And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 हिजकियाले वेदीमा होमबलि वेदीमा चढाउने हुकुम दिए । जब होमबलि सुरु भयो, तब तुरहीहरू र इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका बाजाहरूका साथमा परमप्रभुको गीत पनि सुरु भयो ।

And Hezekiah commanded to offer up the burnt-offering on the altar. And at the moment the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 सारा समुदायले आराधना गरे, गायकहरूले गाए, र तुरही बजाउनेहरूले बजाए । यो काम होमबलि खतम नहोउञ्‍जेल निरन्‍तर जारी रह्‍यो ।

And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded, all [the time] until the burnt-offering was finished.

29 जब तिनीहरूले बलिदान चढाइसके, राजा र तिनीसँग भएका सबैले घोप्‍टो परे र आराधना गरे ।

And when they had ended offering the burnt-offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.

30 यसको साथै राजा हिजकिया र तिनका अगुवाहरूले लेवीहरूलाई दाऊद र दर्शी आसापका शब्‍दमा परमप्रभुको स्‍तुतिगान गर्न लाए । तिनीहरूले खुसीसाथ स्‍तुति गाए र घोप्‍टो परे र आरधना गरे ।

And king Hezekiah and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and bowed their heads and worshipped.

31 तब हिजकियाले भने, “अब तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुमा आफैलाई अर्पण गरेका छौ । यहाँ आओ र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा बलिदान र धन्‍यवादका बलिहरू ल्याओ ।” समुदायले बलिदानहरू र धन्‍यवाद बलिहरू ल्‍याए, र राजीखुशी हृदय हुनेहरू सबैले आआफ्‍ना होमबलि ल्‍याए ।

And Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart, burnt-offerings.

32 समुदायले ल्‍याएका होमबलिको संख्‍या सत्तरी वटा साँढे, एक सय वटा भेडा, र दुई सय वटा थुमा थिए । यी सबै परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति होमबलि थिए ।

And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

33 परमप्रभुमा अर्पण गरिएका बलिदानहरू छ सय साँढे र तीन हजार भेडा थिए ।

And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

34 तर सबै होमबलिका छाला काढ्नका निम्ति पुजारीहरू साह्रै थोरै थिए, यसैले तिनीहरूका दाजुभाइ लेवीहरूले त्‍यो काम नसिद्धिएसम्‍म र पुजारीहरूले आफूलाई पवित्र नपारेसम्‍म तिनीहरूलाई सघाए, किनकि आआफूलाई पवित्र पार्नलाई पुजारीहरूभन्‍दा लेवीहरू नै बढी होसियार भएका थिए ।

Only the priests were too few, and they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had hallowed themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to hallow themselves than the priests.

35 यसबाहेक, त्यहाँ धेरै होमबलिहरू थिए । मेलबलिको बोसोको साथमा ती चढाइए र हरेक होमबलिको निम्ति त्‍यहाँ अर्घबलि थिए । यसरी परमप्रभुका मन्‍दिरको सेवा व्‍यवस्‍थित गरियो ।

And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for the burnt-offering. And the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.

36 परमेश्‍वरले मानिसहरूका निम्‍ति तयार पार्नुभएको कामको कारणले हिजकिया र सबै मानिसहरू आनन्दित भए, किनकि त्‍यो काम चाँडै नै पूरा भयो ।

And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
