२ इतिहास 35

1 योशियाहले परमप्रभुको निम्ति यरूशलेममा निस्तार-चाड मनाए, र तिनीहरूले पहिलो महिनाको चौधौँ दिनमा निस्तार-चाडको थुमा मारे ।

Now Josiah kept the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was immolated on the fourteenth day of the first month.

2 तिनले पुजारीहरूलाई आआफ्नो स्थानमा राखे र परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सेवा गर्न तिनीहरूलाई प्रोत्साहन दिए ।

And he appointed the priests in their offices, and he exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.

3 तिनले परमप्रभुमा समर्पित भएका र सारा इस्राएललाई सिकाउने लेवीहरूलाई भने, “इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनले निर्माण गरेको मन्दिरमा पवित्र सन्दूकलाई राख । अबदेखि फेरि त्यसलाई आफ्नो काँधमा नबोक । अब परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आराधना गर र उहाँको मानिस इस्राएलको सेवा गर ।

Also, he spoke with the Levites, by whose instruction all of Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: “Place the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel, built. For never again shall you carry it. Instead, now you shall minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.

4 इस्राएलका राजा दाऊद र तिनका छोरा सोलोमनले दिएका लिखित निर्देशनहरू पालन गर्दै आआफ्‍ना पुर्खाका घरानाहरू र आआफ्‍ना विभाजनहरूअनुसार आफूलाई सङ्गठित गराओ ।

And prepare yourselves by your houses and families, within each division, just as David, the king of Israel, instructed, and just as his son Solomon has written.

5 तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइका पुर्खाका घरानाहरूका विभाजनहरू, मानिसहरूका वंश र लेवीहरूको पुर्खाका परिवारहरूका आफ्ना विभाजनहरूअनुसार पवित्र स्थानमा खडा होओ ।

And minister in the sanctuary, by the Levitical families and companies.

6 निस्तार-चाडको थुमाहरू मार, आफैलाई शुद्ध गर, मोशाद्वारा परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको वचन पालन गरेर तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइका निम्ति थुमाहरू तयार पार ।”

And having been sanctified, immolate the Passover. And then prepare your brothers, so that they may be able to act in accord with the words which the Lord has spoken by the hand of Moses.”

7 योशियाहले निस्तार-चाड बलिदानमा सबै मानिसहरूको निम्ति तिस हजार भेडा र पाठा दिए । तिनले तीन हजार साँढे पनि दिए । यी सबै राजाका सम्पतिबाट दिइएका दिए ।

After this, Josiah gave to all the people, those who had been found there at the solemnity of the Passover, thirty thousand lambs and young goats from the flocks, and other kinds of small cattle, and also three thousand oxen. All these were from the substance of the king.

8 मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूका निम्ति तिनका अगुवाहरूले राजीखुशी दान दिए । परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका आधिकारिक प्रशासकहरू हिल्कियाह, जकरिया र यहीएलले पुजारीहरूलाई निस्तार-चाडको निम्ति दुई हजार छ सय ससाना पशु र तीन सय साँढे दिए ।

Also, his rulers offered what they had vowed freely, as much for the people as for the priests and Levites. Moreover, Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests, in order to observe the Passover, two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.

9 अनि लेवीहरूलाई चाहिं कोनन्याह र तिनका भाइहरू शमायाह र नतनेल, अनि लेवीहरूका नायकहरू हशब्याह, यहीएल र योजाबादले पाँच हजार ससाना पशु र पाँच सय साँढे दिए ।

And Conaniah, with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, indeed also Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites, in order to celebrate the Passover, five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

10 यसैले सेवाको तयारी भयो, र पुजारीहरू आआफ्नो स्थानमा अनि लेवीहरूचाहिं आआफ्नो दलअनुसार राजाको हुकुमबमोजिम खडा भए ।

And the ministry was prepared. And the priests stood in their office, and the Levites also stood in their companies, according to the order of the king.

11 तिनीहरूले निस्तार-चाडका थुमाहरू मारे, अनि लेवीहरूका हातबाट रगत लिएर पुजारीहरूले वेदीमा रगत छर्के, र लेवीहरूले ती थुमाहरूका छाला काढे ।

And the Passover was immolated. And the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites drew away the pelts of the holocausts.

12 तिनीहरूले मोशाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएबमोजिम मानिसले परमप्रभुलाई होमबलिहरू चढाउन् भनी पुर्खाका घरानाका विभाजनअनुसार वितरण गर्नलाई तिनीहरूले ती छुट्‍याए । साँढेहरूका पनि तिनीहरूले त्यसै गरे ।

And they put these aside, so that they might give them to each one, by their houses and families, and so that they might be offered to the Lord, just as it was written in the book of Moses. And with the oxen, they acted similarly.

13 तिनीहरूले निर्देशनको अनुसरण गरेर निस्तारका थुमाहरू आगोमा पोले । पवित्र भेटीलाई तिनीहरूले खड्कुँला, कराही र ताप्केमा उसिने, र तिनीहरू तुरुन्‍तै ती मानिसहरूमा बाँडिदिए ।

And they roasted the Passover above fire, in accord with what was written in the law. Yet truly, the victims of peace offerings they boiled in cauldrons and kettles and pots. And they promptly distributed these to all the common people.

14 त्यसपछि हारूनका वंशका पुजारीहरू साँझसम्मै होमबलि र बोसो चढाउनमा व्यस्त भएका हुनाले तिनीहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति र पुजारीहरूका निम्ति बलिदान तयार गरे । यसरी लेवीहरूले आफ्ना लागि र हारूनको वंशका पुजारीहरूका निम्ति बलिदान तयार गरे ।

Then afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests. Indeed, the priests had been occupied in the oblations of the holocausts and the fat offerings, even until night. Therefore, the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron, last.

15 आसापका सन्तानहरू, गायकहरू, दाऊद, आसाप, हेमान र राजाका दर्शी यदूतून र रक्षकहरूले निर्देशन दिएबमोजिम आआफ्ना स्थानमा थिए । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो ठाउँ छोड्नुपरेन किनकि तिनीहरूका दाजुभाइ लेवीहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्ति तयारी गरे ।

Now the singers, the sons of Asaph, were standing in their order, according to the instruction of David, and of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Truly, the porters kept watch at each gate, so as not to depart from their ministry even for one moment. And for this reason, their brothers, the Levites, prepared foods for them.

16 यसैले यो समयमा योशियाह राजाको हुकुमअनुसार निस्तार-चाड मान्‍न र परमप्रभुको वेदीमा होमबलि चढाउनका निम्ति परमप्रभुको पूरा सेवा सन्‍चालन गरियो ।

And so, the entire worship ritual of the Lord was completed on that day, so that they observed the Passover and offered holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, in accord with the precept of king Josiah.

17 उपस्थित भएका इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यस बेला निस्तार-चाड मनाए, र सात दिनसम्म अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मनाए ।

And the sons of Israel, who had been found there, kept the Passover at that time, with the solemnity of unleavened bread, for seven days.

18 शमूएल अगमवक्ताको समयदेखि यता यस प्रकारले निस्तार-चाडको उत्‍सव इस्राएलमा कहिल्यै मनाइएको थिएन, न त पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूसँग उपस्थित भएका सबै यहूदा र इस्राएलका साथमा योशियाहले मानेझैं इस्राएलका अरू कुनै राजाहरूले कहिल्यै यस्तो किसिमले निस्तार-चाड मानेका थिए ।

There was no Passover similar to this one in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet. And neither did anyone, out of all the kings of Israel, keep such a Passover as did Josiah, the priests and Levites, and all those of Judah and Israel who had been found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 योशियाहका राजकालको अठारौँ वर्षमा यो निस्तार-चाड मनाइएको थियो ।

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, this Passover was celebrated.

20 योशियाहले यसरी मन्दिरका सबै कामहरू मिलाइसकेपछि मिश्रदेशका राजा नेको यूफ्रेटिस नदीको किनारको कर्कमीशको विरुद्ध आक्रमण गर्न निस्के, र योशियाह तिनको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न गए ।

After Josiah had repaired the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended to fight at Carchemish, beside the Euphrates. And Josiah went out to meet him.

21 तर नेकोले यसो भनेर तिनीकहाँ राजदूतहरू पठाए, “ए यहूदाका राजा, मेरो तपाईंसँग के सरोकार छ? आज म तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आएको होइन, तर म जुन घरानासँग युद्ध गरिरहेको छु त्यसको विरुद्ध आएको छु । परमेश्‍वरले मलाई चाँडो गर्न आदेश दिनुभएको छ । यसैले परमेश्‍वरलाई बाधा दिने कामबाट टाढा रहनुहोस्, जो मसँग हुनुहुन्छ, नत्रता उहाँले तपाईंलाई नाश गर्नुहुनेछ ।”

But he sent messengers to him, saying: “What is there between me and you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today. Instead, I am fighting against another house, to which God instructed me to go promptly. Refrain from acting against God, who is with me, otherwise he may kill you.”

22 तापनि योशियाह तिनीबाट फर्किन मानेनन् । तिनले उनको विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न भेष बदले । आफू परमेश्‍वरको आज्ञाद्वारा आएको हो भन्‍ने नेकोको वचन तिनले सुनेनन् । यसैले तिनी मगिद्दोको बेसीमा युद्ध गर्न गए ।

Josiah was not willing to return. Instead, he prepared for war against him. Neither would he agree to the words of Neco from the mouth of God. In truth, he traveled so that he might do battle in the field of Megiddo.

23 धनुर्धारीहरूले योशियाह राजालाई हाने, र राजाले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “मलाई बाहिर लैजाओ, किनकि मलाई गम्‍भीर चोट लागेको छ ।”

And there, having been wounded by archers, he said to his servants: “Lead me away from the battle. For I have been severely wounded.”

24 यसैले तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई रथबाट उठाए र तिनलाई अर्को रथमा चढाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई यरूशलेममा ल्याए, जहाँ तिनी मरे । तिनका पुर्खाहरूको चिहानहरूमा तिनलाई गाडियो । सारा यहूदा र यरूशलेमले तिनको निम्ति शोक मनाए ।

And they took him from the chariot, into another chariot which was following him, as was the custom of kings. And they transported him to Jerusalem. And he died, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his fathers. And all of Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him,

25 यर्मियाले योशियाहको निम्ति विलापका गरे । सबै पुरुष र स्‍त्री गायकले आजको दिनसम्म योशियाहको बारेमा विलाप गर्छन् । यी गीतहरू इस्राएलमा परम्पराको रूपमा रहेका छन् । हेर, तिनलाई विलापको गीतहरूमा लेखिएका छन् ।

most of all Jeremiah. All the singing men and women repeat his lamentations over Josiah, even to the present day. And this has become like a law in Israel. Behold, it is found written in the Lamentations.

26 योशियाहको बारेमा अन्य कुराहरू, र तिनले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएअनुसार गरेका आज्ञापालनका असल कामहरू—

Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,

27 अनि तिनका कामहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्मै यहूदा र इस्राएल राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।

and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
