२ इतिहास 30

1 हिजकियाले सबै इस्राएल र यहूदाकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए र एफ्राइम र मनश्‍शेलाई चिट्ठीहरू पनि लेखे ताकि तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको निम्‍ति निस्‍तार-चाड मान्‍न यरूशलेमको परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा आउन्‌ ।

And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to Jehovah, the God of Israel.

2 किनकि राजा, तिनका अगुवाहरू र यरूशलेममा भेला भएका सबै समुदायले मिलेर सल्लाह गरी दोस्रो महिनामा निस्‍तार-चाड मनाउने सहमती गरे ।

For the king had taken counsel, and his rulers, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.

3 तिनीहरूले नियमित समयमा मनाउन सकेनन्, किनभने उत्सवको निम्ति पर्याप्‍त पुजारीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारेका र मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा एकसाथ भेला हुन सकेका थिएनन्‌ ।

For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

4 यो प्रस्‍ताव राजा र सारा समुदायको दृष्‍टिमा असल लाग्‍यो ।

And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.

5 यसैले तिनीहरूले बेर्शेबादेखि दानसम्‍मै परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको निम्‍ति निस्‍तार-चाड मान्‍न मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा आउनैपर्छ भनी सारा इस्राएलभरि घोषणा गर्ने कुरामा सहमत भए । किनकि यसअघि लेखिएबमोजिम मानिसहरूका यति धेरै सङ्‍ख्‍याले यो चाड मानेका थिएनन्‌ ।

So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem. For they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.

6 यसैले राजाको हुकुमअनुसार राजा र तिनका अगुवाहरूका पत्रहरू लिएर पत्रवाहकहरू सारा इस्राएल र यहूदाभरि गए । तिनीहरूले भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू हो, अब्राहाम, इसहाक र इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरतिर तिमीहरू फर्क, ताकि अश्‍शूरका राजाहरूका हातबाट उम्‍कनेहरूतिर उहाँ पनि फर्कनुभएको होस् ।

So the posts went with the letters from the king and his rulers throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye sons of Israel, turn again to Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you who escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

7 तिमीहरू आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरू वा आफ्ना दाजुभाइजस्‍तै नहोओ, जसले परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्धमा विश्‍वासघात गरे, जसले गर्दा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई त्रासका पात्र तुल्‍याउनुभयो, जुन तिमीहरूले देख्छौ ।

And be ye not like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against Jehovah, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

8 तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूझैं तिमीहरू पनि हठी नहोओ । बरू तिमीहरू आफूलाई परमप्रभुमा समर्पण गर, र उहाँले सदासर्वदाको निम्‍ति पवित्र पार्नुभएको उहाँको पवित्रस्‍थानमा प्रवेश गर, र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आराधना गर, ताकि उहाँको भयानक क्रोध तिमीहरूबाट हटोस्‌ ।

Now be ye not stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve Jehovah your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

9 किनकि तिमीहरू परमप्रभुतिर फर्क्‍यौ भने, तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइ र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई कैद गरेर लैजानेहरूबाट तिनीहरूले दया पाउने छन्, र तिनीहरू यस देशमा फर्केर आउन पाउने छन्‌ । किनभने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर दयालु र करुणामय हुनुहुन्‍छ, र तिमीहरू उहाँतर्फ फर्क्‍यौ भने, उहाँ तिमीहरूबाट फर्कनुहुने छैन ।”

For if ye turn again to Jehovah, your brothers and your sons shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land. For Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return to him.

10 यसैले ती पत्रवाहकहरू एफ्राइम र मनश्‍शेका प्रदेशहरूभरि नै सहर-सहरमा भएर जबूलूनसम्‍मै गए, तर मानिसहरूलाई हेरेर हाँसे र तिनीहरूको गिल्‍ला गरे ।

So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun. But they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

11 तापनि आशेर, मनश्‍शे र जबूलूनका कोही मानिसले आफैलाई नम्र तुल्‍याए र यरूशलेममा आए ।

Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

12 परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले दिएको हुकुम एकमत भई पालन गर्न परमेश्‍वरको हात यहूदाका मानिसहरूमा पनि आयो ।

Also the hand of God came upon Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the rulers by the word of Jehovah.

13 धेरै मानिसहरू, अर्थात्‌ एउटा साह्रै ठूलो समुदाय दोस्रो महिनामा अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्‍न यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।

And many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.

14 तिनीहरू उठे र यरूशलेममा भएका वेदीहरू, र धूप बाल्‍ने सबै वेदीसमेत हटाइदिए, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई किद्रोनको खोल्‍सामा फ्‍याँकिदिए ।

And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense they took away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

15 तब तिनीहरूले दोस्रो महिनाको चौधौँ दिनमा निस्‍तार-चाडको थुमा मारे । पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू साह्रै लज्‍जित भए । यसैले तिनीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध गरे, र परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा होमबलि ल्‍याए ।

Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of Jehovah.

16 तब परमेश्‍वरका मानिस मोशाको व्‍यवस्‍थाले दिएको निर्देशनअनुसार तिनीहरू आआफ्‍नो स्‍थानमा दल-दल भएर खडा भए । पुजारीहरूले लेवीहरूबाट लिएको रगत वेदीमा छर्के ।

And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from the hand of the Levites.

17 किनकि आफूलाई शुद्ध नपारेकाहरू समुदायमा धेरै जना थिए । यसैकारण आफैलाई शुद्ध नपारेका र परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने आआफ्‍नो थुमा अर्पण नगरेकाहरू सबैका निम्‍ति लेवीहरूले निस्‍तार-चाडका थुमाहरू मारे ।

For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves. Therefore the Levites had charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to Jehovah.

18 एफ्राइम, मनश्‍शे, इस्‍साखार र जबूलूनबाट आएकामध्‍ये धेरै जनाले आफैलाई शुद्ध पारेका थिएनन्, तापनि तिनीहरूले लेखिएको निर्देशनहरूको विरुद्ध निस्‍तार-चाडको भोज खाए । किनकि हिजकियाले यसो भनेर तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति प्रार्थना गरेका थिए, “भला हुनुहुने परमप्रभुले हरेक व्‍यक्तिलाई क्षमा गर्नुभएको होस्

For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good Jehovah pardon everyone

19 जो पवित्र स्‍थानका शुद्धीकरणको मनकबमोजिम शुद्ध नभए तापनि परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरको खोजी गर्ने सङ्कल्‍प गरेको छ ।”

who sets his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the God of his fathers, though he be not according to the purification of the sanctuary.

20 यसैले परमप्रभुले हिजकियाको प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुभयो, र मानिसहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।

And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

21 यरूशलेममा उपस्‍थित भएका इस्राएलका मनिसहरूले सात दिनसम्‍म ठुलो रमाहटको साथ अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मनाए । लेवीहरू र पुजारीहरूले ठुलो स्वरमा परमप्रभुका बाजाहरू बजाएर दिनहुँ परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गरे ।

And the sons of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness. And the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, with loud instruments to Jehovah.

22 परमप्रभुको सेवा बुझेका सबै लेवीलाई हिजकियाले उत्‍साहको वचनले बोले । यसरी मेलबलिका बलिदानहरू चढाउँदै, र परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरसँग आफ्ना पापहरू स्वीकार गर्दै र तिनीहरूले चाडका सात दिनभरि खाँदै बिताए ।

And Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of Jehovah. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.

23 सारा समुदाय अरू सात दिनसम्‍म चाड मान्‍न सहमत भए, र तिनीहरूले रमाहटसित सो गरे ।

And the whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days. And they kept those seven days with gladness.

24 किनकि यहूदाका राजा हिजकियाले समुदायको निम्‍ति एक हजार साँढे र सात हजार भेडा बलिदानको रूपमा दिए । अनि अगुवाहरूले समुदायको निम्‍ति एक हजार साँढे र दश हजार भेडा दिए । ठुलो संख्यामा पुजारीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे ।

For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep. And the rulers gave to the assembly a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep. And a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

25 यहूदाका सारा समुदाय, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूसमेत, अनि इस्राएलबाट आएका सबै समुदायसाथ इस्राएल र यहूदामा बसोबास गर्ने विदेशीहरूले पनि रमाहट गरे ।

And all the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners who came out of the land of Israel, and who dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

26 यसरी यरूशलेममा ठुलो रमाहट भयो, किनभने त्‍यस्‍तो त इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनको पालोदेखि यता त्‍यहाँ भएको थिएन ।

So there was great joy in Jerusalem. For since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

27 तब पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू खडा भए र मानिसहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए । तिनीहरूको आवाज सुनियो, र तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना स्वर्गमा परमेश्‍वरको बस्‍नुहुने पवित्र वासस्‍थानसम्‍मै पुग्‍यो ।

Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people. And their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
