< 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 ।
Also, Hezekiah sent to all of Israel and Judah. And he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, so that they would come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and so that they would keep the Passover to the Lord, 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 ।
Therefore, having taken counsel, the king and the rulers, and the entire assembly of Jerusalem, resolved that they would 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 had not been able to keep it at its proper time. For the priests, who were unable to suffice, had not been sanctified. And the people had not yet been gathered together in Jerusalem.
4 यो प्रस्ताव राजा र सारा समुदायको दृष्टिमा असल लाग्यो ।
And the word was pleasing to the king, and to the entire multitude.
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 ।
And they resolved that they would send messengers to all of Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, so that they might come and keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem. For many had not kept it, just as it was prescribed by the law.
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 ।
And carriers traveled with the letters, by order of the king and his rulers, to all of Israel and Judah, proclaiming, in accord with what the king had ordered: “O sons of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel. And he will return to the remnant who escaped from the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
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 ।
Do not choose to be like your fathers and brothers, who withdrew from the Lord, the God of their fathers. And so he delivered them over to destruction, as you yourselves discern.
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 ।
Do not choose to harden your necks, as your fathers did. Surrender to the hands of the Lord. And go to his Sanctuary, which he has sanctified unto eternity. Serve the Lord, the God of your fathers, and the fury of his wrath will be turned 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 you will return to the Lord, your brothers and sons will find mercy before their masters, who led them away as captives, and they will be returned to this land. For the Lord your God is compassionate and lenient, and he will not avert his face from you, if you will 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 ।
And so, the carriers were traveling quickly from city to city, throughout the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun, though they were ridiculing and mocking them.
11 तापनि आशेर, मनश्शे र जबूलूनका कोही मानिसले आफैलाई नम्र तुल्याए र यरूशलेममा आए ।
Even so, certain men from Asher, and from Manasseh, and from Zebulun, acquiescing to this counsel, went to Jerusalem.
12 परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले दिएको हुकुम एकमत भई पालन गर्न परमेश्वरको हात यहूदाका मानिसहरूमा पनि आयो ।
Truly, the hand of God was working in Judah, to give them one heart, so that they would accomplish the word of the Lord, according to the precept of the king and of the rulers.
13 धेरै मानिसहरू, अर्थात् एउटा साह्रै ठूलो समुदाय दोस्रो महिनामा अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्न यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
And many people gathered together in Jerusalem, so that they could keep the solemnity of unleavened bread, in the second month.
14 तिनीहरू उठे र यरूशलेममा भएका वेदीहरू, र धूप बाल्ने सबै वेदीसमेत हटाइदिए, र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई किद्रोनको खोल्सामा फ्याँकिदिए ।
And rising up, they destroyed the altars which were in Jerusalem, and all the things in which incense was burned to idols. Overturning these things, they cast them into the torrent 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 immolated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. Also, the priests and Levites, at length having been sanctified, offered the holocausts in the house of the Lord.
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 order, according to the disposition and law of Moses, the man of God. Yet truly, the priests took up the blood, which was to be poured out, from the hands 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 ।
because a great number were not sanctified. And therefore, the Levites immolated the Passover for those who had not been sanctified to the Lord in time.
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
And now a great portion of the people from Ephraim, and Manasseh, and Issachar, and Zebulun, who had not been sanctified, ate the Passover, which is not in accord with what was written. And Hezekiah prayed for them, saying: “The good Lord will be forgiving
19 जो पवित्र स्थानका शुद्धीकरणको मनकबमोजिम शुद्ध नभए तापनि परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्ने सङ्कल्प गरेको छ ।”
to all who, with their whole heart, seek the Lord, the God of their fathers. And he will not impute it to them, though they have not been sanctified.”
20 यसैले परमप्रभुले हिजकियाको प्रार्थना सुन्नुभयो, र मानिसहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।
And the Lord heeded him, and was reconciled to 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 found at Jerusalem kept the solemnity of unleavened bread for seven days with great rejoicing, praising the Lord throughout each day, with the Levites and the priests, accompanied by the musical instruments corresponding to their office.
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 to the heart of all the Levites, who had a good understanding concerning the Lord. And they ate during the seven days of the solemnity, immolating victims of peace offerings, and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.
23 सारा समुदाय अरू सात दिनसम्म चाड मान्न सहमत भए, र तिनीहरूले रमाहटसित सो गरे ।
And it pleased the entire multitude that they should celebrate, even for another seven days. And they did this with enormous 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, the king of Judah, had offered to the multitude one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep. Truly, the rulers had given the people one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. Then a great multitude of priests was sanctified.
25 यहूदाका सारा समुदाय, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूसमेत, अनि इस्राएलबाट आएका सबै समुदायसाथ इस्राएल र यहूदामा बसोबास गर्ने विदेशीहरूले पनि रमाहट गरे ।
And the whole multitude of Judah, as much the priests and Levites as the entire crowd that had arrived from Israel, and also the converts from the land of Israel, and those with a habitation in Judah, was overflowing with cheerfulness.
26 यसरी यरूशलेममा ठुलो रमाहट भयो, किनभने त्यस्तो त इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनको पालोदेखि यता त्यहाँ भएको थिएन ।
And there was a great celebration in Jerusalem, to such an extent as had not been in that city since the days of Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel.
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 and Levites rose up and blessed the people. And their voice was heeded. And their prayer reached the holy habitation of heaven.
