२ इतिहास 31

1 जब यी सबै कुरा सकिए, तब उपस्थित भएका सबै इस्राएलका मानिसहरू यहूदाका सहरहरूमा गए र तिनीहरूले ढुङ्गाका खम्बाहरू फुटाइदिए र अशेरा देवीका मूर्तिहरू काटेर ढालिदिए, अनि सारा यहूदा र बेन्यामीन, अनि एफ्राइम र मनश्शेका डाँडाका थानहरू र वेदीहरू, ती सबै नाश नभएसम्‍म भत्काइदिए । तब इस्राएलीहरू हरेक आआफ्ना सम्पति र आआफ्ना सहर भएको ठाउँमा फर्के ।

Now, when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went forth unto the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars—and cut down the Sacred Stems—and threw down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin—and throughout Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had made an end, —then all the sons of Israel returned every man to his own possession, unto their own cities.

2 पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूका दलअनुसार हिजकियाले तिनीहरूका दलहरूलाई हरेक मानिसलाई, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू दुवैलाई आआफ्ना काममा लगाइदिए । तिनीहरूलाई होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाउन, सेवा गर्न, धन्यवाद दिन र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका ढोकाहरूमा प्रशंसा गर्ने काम तिनले तिनीहरूलाई दिए ।

And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests, and the Levites, over their courses, every man according to the requirements of his service, both priests and Levites, for ascending-sacrifice and for peace-offerings, —to be in attendance and to give thanks and to offer praise, in the gates of the camps of Yahweh;

3 तिनले आफ्नै भण्डारबाट बिहान र बेलुकाका होमबलिका निम्ति, अनि शबाथ, औंसी र तोकिएका चाडहरूका निम्ति परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएबमोजिम जुटाइदिए ।

also the portion of the king out of his own substance, for the ascending-sacrifices, —[even] for the ascending-sacrifices of the morning and of the evening, and the ascending-sacrifices for the sabbaths, and for the new moons and for the appointed feasts, —as written in the law of Yahweh.

4 यसको साथै पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू तिनले यरूशलेममा बस्‍ने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूले दिनुपर्ने भाग देऊन् भनी हुकुम गरे ताकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्था पालन गर्ने कुरामा ध्‍यान दिन सकुन् ।

And he bade the people who were dwelling in Jerusalem give the portion of the priests and the Levites, —to the end they might persevere in the law of Yahweh.

5 हुकुम पठाउने बित्तिकै इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आआफ्ना अन्‍नका अगौटे फल, नयाँ दाखमद्य, तेल, मह र जमिनका सबै उब्जनीका अगौटे फल उदारचित्तले दिए । तिनीहरूले हरेक कुराका दशांश ल्याए, जुन प्रशस्त मात्रामा भयो ।

And, as soon as the thing spread abroad, the sons of Israel caused to abound the firstfruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and all the increase of the field, -yea, the tithe of all—in abundance, brought they in.

6 यहूदाका सहरहरूमा बस्‍ने इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र यहूदीहरूले पनि गाईवस्तु र भेडबाख्राको दशांश, अनि परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरमा अर्पण गरिएका सबै थोकको दशांश ल्याएर थुपारे ।

And, as for the sons of Israel and Judah who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, even they, a tithe of oxen, and sheep, and a tithe of hallowed things, which had been hallowed unto Yahweh their God, did bring in and pile up—heaps, heaps.

7 तिनीहरूले आफ्नो योगदान तेस्रो महिनामा थुपार्न सुरु गरे, र तिनीहरूले त्‍यो सातौँ महिनामा सिद्ध्याए ।

In the third month, began they the heaps, at the foundation, —and, in the seventh, they finished.

8 जब हिजकिया र तिनका अधिकारीहरू आए र ती थुपारिएका कुरा देखे, तब तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु र उहाँको मानिस इस्राएललाई आशिष् दिए ।

And Hezekiah and the rulers came, and saw the heaps, —and blessed Yahweh, and his people Israel.

9 तब हिजकियाले यी थुपारिएका कुराहरूका विषयमा पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूसित सोधपुछ गरे ।

Then applied Hezekiah unto the priests and the Levites, concerning the heaps.

10 सादोकका घरानाका प्रधान पुजारी अजर्याहले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने, “मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आआफ्ना भेटी ल्याएको समयदेखि हामीहरूले खाएका छौं, र प्रशस्त भयो र प्रशस्‍त उब्रेका छन्, किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ । उब्रेकाबाट यो ठुलो मात्रा यहाँ छ ।”

And Azariah, the chief priest of the house of Zadok, spake unto him, —and said—From the time of beginning to bring in, the heave-offering, into the house of Yahweh—to eat and to be full, there hath still been left, even to this abundance. For, Yahweh, hath blessed his people, and, that which is left, is this great plenty.

11 तब हिजकियाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भण्डारहरू तयार गर्न हुकुम गरे, र तिनीहरूले ती तयार गरे ।

Then Hezekiah gave word to prepare chambers, in the house of Yahweh, and they prepared them;

12 तब तिनीहरूले आआफ्ना भेटीहरू, दशांश र परमप्रभुका थोकहरू विश्‍वस्‍ततासाथ ल्याए । तिनको जिम्मा लिने अधिकृत लेवी कोनन्याह थिए, र तिनका भाइ शिमी तिनीपछिका दोस्रा थिए ।

and brought in the heave-offering and the tithe and the hallowed things, faithfully, —and, over them, as chief ruler, was Cononiah the Levite, and Shimei his brother, next;

13 हिजकिया राजा र परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरका अधिकारी अजर्याहले नियुक्त गरेका कोनन्याह र तिनका भाइ शिमीको मातहतमा रही तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्ने यहीएल, अजज्याह, नहत, असाहेल, यरीमोत, योजाबाद, एलीएल, यिस्मक्याह, महत र बनायाह थिए ।

and Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad, and Eliel and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, —overseers under the direction of Cononiah and Shemei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the chief ruler of the house of God.

14 परमप्रभुलाई दिएका भेटीहरू र अर्पण गरिएका दानहरू बाँड्नको निम्ति परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति ल्याएका राजीखुशीका भेटीहरूको जिम्मा लेवी यिम्नाका छोरा पूर्व ढोकाका रक्षक कोरेलाई दिइएको थियो ।

And, Kore, son of Imnah the Levite, the door-keeper on the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, —to give the heave-offering of Yahweh, and the most holy things.

15 तिनको मातहतमा पुजारीहरूका सहरहरूमा अदन, मिन्यामीन, येशूअ, शमायाह, अमर्याह र शकन्याह थिए । तिनीहरूका महत्व भएका र नभएका दुबै दाजुभाइलाई दल-दलअनुसार हिस्सा बाँड्ने कामको जिम्मा तिनीहरूको थियो ।

And, under his direction, were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in trust to give unto their brethren by courses, as the great so the small;

16 आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका विवरणमा नाउँ भएका परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आफूलाई तोकिएको काममा दिनदिनै खट्ने तिन वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा बढी उमेरका सबै पुरुषहरूलाई आआफ्ना दल र जिम्माअनुसार तिनीहरूले भाग बाँडिदिए ।

besides registering them by males, from three years old and upward, unto every one that entered into the house of Yahweh, in the need of a day upon its day, —by their service, in their watches, according to their courses:

17 आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका विवरणमा नाउँ लेखिएका पुजारीहरू अनि बिस वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा बढी उमेरका लेवीहरू सबैलाई आआफ्ना दल र जिम्माअनुसार तिनीहरूले भाग बाँडिदिए ।

both the registering of the priests, by their ancestral houses, and the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, —in their watches, in their courses;

18 तिनीहरूले सारा समुदाय भरका तिनका साना बालबालिका, पत्‍नीहरू र छोराछोरी सबैलाई पनि समावेस गरे, किनकि आफैलाई शुद्ध गर्नमा तिनीहरू विश्‍वासयोग्य थिए ।

even to the registering of all their little ones, their wives and their sons and their daughters, unto all the convocation, —for, in their trust, they hallowed themselves in holiness;

19 आफ्ना सहरहरूका छेउछाउका बस्तीहरूमा वा हरेक सहरमा बस्‍ने हारूनका वंशका पुजारीमध्ये सबै पुरुषलाई र लेवीहरूका आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका विवरणमा नाउँ लेखिएका पुजारीहरू सबैलाई पनि आआफ्ना भाग दिन विशेष मानिसहरू खटाइए ।

also unto the sons of Aaron the priests in the fields of the pasture land of their cities, in every several city, men who were expressed by name, —to give portions to every male among the priests, and to all registered among the Levites.

20 हिजकियाले यहूदाभरि नै यसो गरे । तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरका दृष्‍टिमा असल, ठिक र विश्‍वासयोग्य काम गरे ।

And Hezekiah did thus, throughout all Judah, —and he did that which was good and right and faithful, before Yahweh his God.

21 परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सेवाका हरेक काममा, व्यवस्था, र आज्ञाहरूमा, र उहाँको खोजी गर्ने हरेक कुरा तिनले आफ्नो पूरा हृदयले गरे, र तिनी सफल भए ।

And, in all the work which he began in the service of the house of God—and in the law—and in the commandment, to seek unto his God, with all his heart, he wrought, and prospered.
