< 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 the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD 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 princes, and all the congregation 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 sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 यो प्रस्ताव राजा र सारा समुदायको दृष्टिमा असल लाग्यो ।
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
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 the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was 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 princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are 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 not you like your fathers, and like your brothers, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as you 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 you not stiff necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath 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 you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you 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 divers 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 in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
13 धेरै मानिसहरू, अर्थात् एउटा साह्रै ठूलो समुदाय दोस्रो महिनामा अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्न यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
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 took they 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 in the burnt offerings into 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 place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of 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 congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.
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 did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
19 जो पवित्र स्थानका शुद्धीकरणको मनकबमोजिम शुद्ध नभए तापनि परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्ने सङ्कल्प गरेको छ ।”
That prepares his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20 यसैले परमप्रभुले हिजकियाको प्रार्थना सुन्नुभयो, र मानिसहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।
And the LORD listened 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 children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.
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 comfortably to all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD 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 other seven days: and they kept other 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 did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation 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 congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelled 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 dwelling place, even to heaven.
