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 when he was twenty-five years old; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah; she was the daughter of Zechariah.

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

He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, just as David his father had done.

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

In the first year of his reign, in the first month, Hezekiah opened the doors of the house of Yahweh and repaired them.

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

He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the courtyard on the east side.

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 ।

He said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Consecrate yourselves, and consecrate the house of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, and carry away the filthiness from the holy place.

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 ancestors trespassed and did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh our God; they forsook him, turned away their faces from the place where Yahweh lives, and turned their backs on it.

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

Also they shut up the doors of the porch and put out the lamps; they did not burn incense or offer burnt offerings in the holy place 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 Yahweh had fallen on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them to be an object of terror, of horror, and of scorn, as you can see with your own eyes.

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

This is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, so 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, do not be lazy now, for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to worship him, and that you should be his servants and burn incense.”

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 arose: Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the people of the Kohathites; and of the people of Merari, Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden son of Joah;

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

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

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

of the sons of Heman, Jehuel 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 ।

They gathered their brothers, they consecrated themselves, and they went in, as the king commanded, following the words of Yahweh, to cleanse the house of Yahweh.

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 ।

The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Yahweh to cleanse it; they brought out all the filth that they found in the temple of Yahweh into the courtyard of the house. The Levites took it to carry it out to 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 ।

Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first month. By the eighth day of the month they reached the porch of Yahweh. Then for eight more days they consecrated the house of Yahweh. On the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

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 ।

Then they went to Hezekiah, the king, inside the palace and said, “We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh, the altar for burnt offerings with all its implements, and the table of the bread of the presence, with all its implements.

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 ।”

So we have prepared and we have consecrated all the items that King Ahaz removed when he acted unfaithfully during his reign. See, they are in front of the altar of Yahweh.”

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

Then Hezekiah the king rose early in the morning and gathered the leaders of the city; he went up to the house of Yahweh.

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 ।

They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. He commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of Yahweh.

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 ।

So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then they killed the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar; and they also killed the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.

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

They brought the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; they laid their hands on 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 ।

The priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar to make atonement for all Israel, for the king had commanded that a burnt offering and a sin offering should be made for all Israel.

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 ।

Hezekiah placed the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, harps, and lyres, arranging them by the command of David, Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan, the prophet, for the command was from Yahweh by means of his prophets.

26 लेवीहरू दाऊदका बाजाहरू र पुजारीहरू तुरहीहरू लिएर खडा भए ।

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 ।

Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also, with the trumpets, together with 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 ।

All the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters played; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

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

When they had finished the offerings, the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped.

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 ।

Moreover, Hezekiah, the king, and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David and of Asaph, the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

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 ।

Then Hezekiah said, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh. Come here and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yahweh.” The assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all who had a willing heart brought 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 ।

The number of the burnt offerings that the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred male lambs. All these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

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

The consecrated offerings 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 ।

But the priests were too few to skin all the burnt offerings, so their brothers, the Levites, helped them until the work was done, and until the priests could consecrate themselves, for the Levites had been more careful to consecrate 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 ।

In addition, there were very many burnt offerings; they were performed with the fat of the fellowship offerings, and there were drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yahweh 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 ।

Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people also, because of what God had prepared for the people, for the work had been done quickly.
