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, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

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

He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, 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 ।

In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the LORD’s house 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 wide place on the east,

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 said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry the filthiness out of 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 fathers were unfaithful, and have done that which was evil in the LORD our God’s sight, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and 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 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 LORD’s wrath was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.

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

For 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 the LORD, 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, don’t be negligent now; for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers 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, 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 Jehallelel; 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 Jeuel; 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, 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, sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the LORD’s words, to cleanse the LORD’s house.

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 into the inner part of the LORD’s house to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the LORD’s temple into the court of the LORD’s house. The Levites took it from there 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 on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the LORD’s porch. They sanctified the LORD’s house in eight days, and 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 in to Hezekiah the king within the palace and said, “We have cleansed all the LORD’s house, including the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the table of show bread with 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 ।”

Moreover, we have prepared and sanctified all the vessels which King Ahaz threw away in his reign when he was unfaithful. Behold, they are before the LORD’s altar.”

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

Then Hezekiah the king arose early, gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the LORD’s house.

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, for 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 LORD’s altar.

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. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

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

They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and 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 ।

Then 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 commanded that the burnt offering and the 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 ।

He set the Levites in the LORD’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the LORD by his prophets.

26 लेवीहरू दाऊदका बाजाहरू र पुजारीहरू तुरहीहरू लिएर खडा भए ।

The Levites stood with David’s instruments, 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 LORD’s song also began, along with the trumpets and 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 sounded. 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 offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves 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 princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads 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 answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the LORD’s house.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of 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 which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs. All these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

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

The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle 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, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings. Therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify 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 ।

Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the LORD’s house 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 and all the people rejoiced because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
