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 out to the cities of Judah and broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into 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 ।

Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of Yahweh’s camp.

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

He also appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in Yahweh’s law.

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 ।

Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to Yahweh’s law.

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 ।

As soon as the commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly.

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

The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to Yahweh their God, and laid them in heaps.

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

In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

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

When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.

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

Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about 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 ।”

Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into Yahweh’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”

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

Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in Yahweh’s house, 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 ।

They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.

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 ।

Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of God’s house.

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 ।

Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute Yahweh’s offerings 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 ।

Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as to 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 ।

in addition to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into Yahweh’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions;

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

and those who were listed by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;

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

and those who were listed by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they sanctified 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 for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the pasture lands of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogy among the Levites.

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

Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, 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 ।

In every work that he began in the service of God’s house, in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
