< २ इतिहास 34 >

1 योशियाहले राज्य सुरु गर्दा तिनी आठ वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा एकतिस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.
2 तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे असल थियो, सो गरे, र आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदका चालमा हिंडे र दाहिने वा देब्रेतिर फर्केनन् ।
And he did that which was right in the sight of YHWH, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
3 किनकि तिनको राजकालको आठौँ वर्षमा, तिनी सानै छँदा नै तिनले आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदका परमेश्‍वरलाई खोज्न सुरु गरे । बाह्रौँ वर्षमा तिनले यहूदा र यरूशलेममा भएका डाँडाका थानहरू र अशेरा देवीका खम्बाहरू र खोपेर बनाएका र ढलौटे मूर्तिहरू हटाउन सुरु गरे ।
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the Elohim of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
4 मानिसहरूले तिनको उपस्‍थितिमा बाल देवताहरूका वेदीहरू भत्काए । तिनमाथि भएका धूप वेदीहरूलाई तिनले टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारे । तिनले अशेरा देवीका खम्बाहरू र मूर्तिहरू र प्रतिमाहरू धुलो टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेर धुलोपिठो बनाए । तिनलाई बलिदान चढाउने मानिसहरूका चिहानहरूमा त्यो धुलो छरिदिए ।
And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.
5 तिनका पुजारीहरूका हड्‍डी पनि तिनीहरूकै वेदीहरूमा तिनले जलाइदिए । यसरी तिनले यहूदा र यरूशलेमलाई शुद्ध पारे ।
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
6 तिनले मनश्शे, एफ्राइम, शिमियोन र नप्‍तालीसम्मका सहरहरू र तिनका वरिपरिका भग्‍नावशेषहरूमा पनि त्यसै गरे ।
And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.
7 तिनले वेदीहरू भत्काए, अशेरा देवीका खम्बाहरू र ढालेर बनाएका मूर्तिहरूलाई धुलोपिठो पारे, र इस्राएलको देशभरि नै भएका धूपका वेदीहरूलाई तिनले टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारे । त्यसपछि तिनी यरूशलेममा फर्के ।
And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
8 योशियाहले देश र मन्दिर शुद्ध पारिसकेपछि, तिनले आफ्नो राज्य कालको अठारौँ वर्षमा असल्याहका छोरा शापान, सहरका गभर्नर मासेयाह र राज्यका लेखापाल योआहाजका छोरा योआलाई परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिर मरम्मत गर्न पठाए ।
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of YHWH his Elohim.
9 तिनीहरू प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहकहाँ गए र रक्षकको काम गर्ने लेवीहरूले मनश्शे, एफ्राइम र इस्राएलका बाँकी रहेका सबै मानिसहरू र यहूदा, बेन्यामीन र यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्दाबाट जम्मा गरेर ल्‍याएका रुपियाँपैसा तिनलाई जिम्मा दिए ।
And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of Elohim, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
10 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा काम गर्नेहरूका सुपरिबेक्षण गर्नेहरूका हातमा तिनीहरूले त्यो पैसा दिए । ती मानिसहरूले मन्दिरको मरम्मत र त्यसलाई पुननिर्माण गर्ने कामदारहरूका ज्‍याला तिरे ।
And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of YHWH, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of YHWH, to repair and amend the house:
11 सिकर्मीहरू र डकर्मीहरूलाई काटेका ढुङ्गाहरू र नाल-दलिनहरू र यहूदाका कुनै राजाहरूले ढालिदिएका दलिनहरू बनाउनलाई काठहरू किन्‍नलाई तिनीहरूले पैसा दिए ।
Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 यी मानिसहरूले विश्‍वासयोग्य रूपले काम गरे । मरारी वंशका लेवीहरू यहत र ओबदिया, अनि कहातको वंशका जकरिया र मशुल्लामले तिनीहरूका रेखदेख गरे । सङ्गीतमा निपुण अन्य सबै लेवीले कामदारहरूलाई निर्देशन दिए ।
And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could kill of instruments of musick.
13 यी लेवीहरू निर्माण सामाग्री बोक्‍नेहरू र अन्य हरेक काम गर्ने मानिसहरूका निरीक्षकहरू थिए । तिनीमध्ये कोही सचिव, कोही प्रशासकहरू र ढोकाका रक्षकहरू थिए ।
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
14 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याएका रुपियाँपैसा बाहिर निकाल्दा हिल्कियाह पुजारीले मोशाद्वारा दिएको परमप्रभुका व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक भेट्टाए ।
And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of YHWH, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of YHWH given by Moses.
15 हिल्कियाहले सचिव शापानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक भेट्टाएको छु ।” हिल्कियाहले त्यो पुस्तक शापानकहाँ ल्याए ।
And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of YHWH. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
16 शापानले त्यो पुस्तक राजाकहाँ ल्याए, र यसो भनेर तिनलाई विवरण पनि दिए, “तपाईंका सेवकहरूलाई जिम्‍मा दिइएका सबै काम तिनीहरूले गरिरहेका छन् ।
And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
17 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पाइएको रुपियाँपैसा खाली गरेका छन् र तिनीहरूले त्‍यो निरीक्षकहरू र कामदारहरूका हातमा दिएका छन् ।”
And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of YHWH, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.
18 सचिव शापानले राजालाई भने, “पुजारी हिल्कियाहले मलाई एउटा पुस्तक दिएका छन् ।” त्यसपछि शापानले त्यो पुस्तक राजालाई पढेर सुनाए ।
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
19 यस्‍तो भयो, जब राजाले व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका कुरा सुने तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते ।
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
20 तिनले हिल्कियाह, शापानका छोरा अहीकाम, मीकाका छोरा अब्दोन, सचिव शापान र राजाका आफ्नै सेवकलाई यस्तो आज्ञा दिए,
And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,
21 “जाओ र मेरो निम्ति, अनि इस्राएल र यहूदामा अझै बाँकी रहेकाहरूका निम्ति त्यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका कुराका कारणले परमप्रभुको इच्छा खोज । यो साह्रै ठुलो छ, परमप्रभुको क्रोध हामीमाथि खन्‍याइएको छ । साह्रै ठुलो छ किनभने हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका सबै कुरा पालन गर्नको निम्ति यसको वचन सुनेका छैनन् ।”
Go, inquire of YHWH for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of YHWH that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of YHWH, to do after all that is written in this book.
22 यसैले हिल्कियाह र राजाले हुकुम गरेका मानिसहरू राजमहलको लुगाफाटो हेरचाह गर्ने हसराका नाति तोखतका छोरा शल्लूमकी पत्‍नी अगमवादिनी हुल्दाकहाँ सोधपुछ गर्नलाई गए (तिनी यरूशलेमको दोस्रो जिल्लामा बस्थिन्), र तिनीहरूले तिनीसँग यसरी कुरा गरे ।
And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college: ) and they spake to her to that effect.
23 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ: तिमीहरूलाई मकहाँ पठाउने मानिसलाई भन,
And she answered them, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,
24 ‘परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ: हेर्, मैले यहूदाका राजाको सामुन्‍ने पढेको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका सबै सरापहरू यो ठाउँ र त्यसका मानिसहरूमाथि ल्याउन लागेको छु ।
Thus saith YHWH, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
25 यस्तो हुनेछ किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागेका छन्, र अरू देवताहरूलाई धूप बालेका छन्, र तिनीहरूका हातले बनाएका सबै कुराले मलाई रिस उठाएका छन्, यसैकारण मेरो क्रोध यस ठाउँमाथि खन्याइने छ, र यो निभाइने छैन’ ।
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other elohim, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
26 तर तिनले के गर्नुपर्छ भनेर परमप्रभुलाई सोधपुछ गर्न तिमीहरूलाई पठाउने यहूदाका राजालाई यही कुरा भनिदेओ, ‘तपाईंले सुन्‍नुभएको वचनको विषयमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ:
And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of YHWH, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;
27 तेरो हृदय नरम भएको हुनाले, र परमेश्‍वरले यो ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्‍दाहरूका विषयमा भनेका कुरा सुनेर उहाँको सामु तँ विनम्र भएको हुनाले, र तैंले आफूलाई मेरो सामु तँ विनम्र पारेको र आफ्ना लुगा च्यातेको र मेरो उपस्थितिमा रोएको हुनाले, मैले तेरो बिन्‍ती सुनेको छु— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो—
Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before Elohim, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith YHWH.
28 हेर्, तेरा पुर्खाहरूसँगै तँलाई म जम्मा गर्नेछु । तँ शान्तिसित आफ्‍नो चिहानमा गाडिनेछस्, र यस ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दामाथि मैले ल्‍याउने कुनै पनि सर्वनाश तेरा आँखाले देख्‍ने छैनन्’ ।” ती मानिसहरूले यो सन्देश राजाकहाँ पुर्‍याए ।
Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
29 त्यसपछि राजाले दूतहरू पठाए र यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सबै धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भेला गराए ।
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 तब राजा र तिनीसँग भएका यहूदाका मानिसहरू, यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू, पुजारी र लेवीहरू, साना-ठुला जम्मै मानिसहरूसँग तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा उक्लेर गए । तब परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा फेला परेको करारको पुस्तकका सबै वचन तिनीहरूले सुन्‍ने गरी तिनले पढे ।
And the king went up into the house of YHWH, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of YHWH.
31 राजा आफ्नो स्थानमा खडा भए र परमेश्‍वरलाई पछ्याउन र उहाँका आज्ञा, नियम, र विधिहरू आफ्नो सारा हृदय र प्राणले पालन गर्ने, र यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका करारका वचनहरू पूरा गर्ने बाचा परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने गरे ।
And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.
32 तिनले यरूशलेम र बेन्यामीनमा उपस्थित भएका सबैलाई त्यो करार अनुसार हिंड्न लगाए । यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूले परमेश्‍वर, तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरको करारअनुसार काम गरे ।
And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of Elohim, the Elohim of their fathers.
33 योशियाहले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सारा इलाकाबाट सबै घृणित कुराहरू हटाइदिए । तिनले इस्राएलमा बस्‍ने सबैलाई परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको आराधना गर्न लगाए । तिनी बाँचुञ्जेल परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरको अनुसरण गर्न तिनीहरूले छोडेनन् ।
And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve YHWH their Elohim. And all his days they departed not from following YHWH, the Elohim of their fathers.
