२ इतिहास 35

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

Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem. They killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

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

He set the priests in their offices and encouraged them in the service of Yahweh’s house.

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 ।

He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. It will no longer be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God and 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 ।

Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

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

Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.

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

Kill the Passover lamb, sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to Yahweh’s word by 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 ।

Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls. These were of the king’s substance.

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 ।

His princes gave a free will offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.

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 ।

Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock and five hundred head of cattle.

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

So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.

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

They killed the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from their hands, and the Levites skinned them.

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

They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle.

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

They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance. They boiled the holy offerings in pots, in cauldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the 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 ।

Afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night. Therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

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 ।

The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate. They didn’t need to depart from their service, because their brothers the Levites prepared for them.

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

So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on Yahweh’s altar, according to the commandment of King Josiah.

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

The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread 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 like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, nor did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept—with the priests, the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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

This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.

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 all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out against 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 ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you today, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy 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 ।

Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

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

The archers shot at King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously 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 ।

So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

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 ।

Jeremiah lamented for Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel. Behold, they are written in the lamentations.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his good deeds, according to that which is written in Yahweh’s law,

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

and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
