२ राजाहरू 11

1 अब अहज्याहकी आमा अतल्याहले आफ्नो छोरो मरेका देखेपछि तिनी उठिन् र सबै राजकीय बालबालिकालाई मारिन् ।

Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.

2 तर राजा यहोरामकी छोरी, अहज्याहकी बहिनी यहोशेबाले मारिन लागेका राजाका छोराहरूका माझबाट अहज्याहका छोरो योआशलाई तिनको धाईसँगै सुटुक्‍क लगेर लुकाइन् । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सुत्‍ने कोठामा राखिन् । योआश नमारिऊन् भनेर तिनीहरूले अतल्याहबाट उसलाई लुकाए ।

But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

3 अतल्याहले देशमा राज्‍य गर्दा परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा छ वर्षसम्म उसलाई आफ्‍नो धाईसँगै लुकाइयो ।

He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.

4 सातौँ वर्षमा यहोयादाले सन्देश पठाए, र सयौं करीहरू तथा पहरादारहरूका कमान्‍डरहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आफूकहाँ लाए । तिनले तिनीहरूसित करार बाँधे र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा तिनीहरूलाई शपथ खान लगाए । तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई राजाका छोरा देखाए ।

In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the LORD’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in the LORD’s house, and showed them the king’s son.

5 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नुपर्छ । तिमीहरूमध्ये एक-तिहाइ जो शबाथमा आउँछौ, तिमीहरूले राजदरबारको रेखदेख गर्नेछौ,

He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;

6 र एक-तिहाइचाहिं सुर ढोकामा बस्‍नेछौ अनि बाँकी एक-तिहाइ रक्षक कोठाको पछाडि बस्‍नेछौ ।”

a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.

7 शबाथमा सेवा नगर्ने अन्य दुईवटा दलले, राजाको लागि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा रेखदेख गर्नुपर्छ ।

The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the LORD’s house around the king.

8 हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो हातमा तरवार लिएर राजाको वरिपरि तैनाथ हुनुपर्छ । तिमीहरूको नजिक आउने जोसुकै भए पनि त्‍यसलाई मारियोस् । राजा बाहिर जाँदा र भित्र आउँदा तिमीहरू तिनीसँगै हिड्‍नुपर्छ ।

You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”

9 त्यसैले यहोयादा पुजारीले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार सयौं दलका कमान्‍डरहरूले सबै कुरा गरे । हरेकले आफ्नो दलका मानिसहरू अर्थात् शबाथमा सेवा गर्न खटाइएकाहरू र शबाथमा सेवा गर्नबाट फुर्सद भएकाहरूलाई लिएर तिनीहरू यहोयादा पुजारीकहाँ आए ।

The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

10 तब यहोयादा पुजारीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखिएका राजा दाऊदका भालाहरू र ढालहरू कमान्‍डरहरूलाई दिए ।

The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the LORD’s house.

11 मन्दिरको दाहिने किनाराबाट देब्रे किनारासम्म अनि वेदी र मन्दिरको नजिक अङ्गरक्षहरू आ-आफ्ना हातमा हतियार लिएर खडा भएर राजालाई घेरा हाले ।

The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.

12 तब यहोयादाले राजाका छोरा योआशलाई बाहिर ल्याए, तिनलाई श्रीपेच लगाइदिए, र तिनलाई करारको उर्दी थमाइदिए । तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई राजा बनाए र तिनलाई अभिषेक गरे । तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना ताली बजाए र भने, “राजा दीर्घायु रहून्!”

Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”

13 जब अतल्याहले अङ्गरक्षकहरू र मानिसहरूको हल्‍ला सुनिन्, तब तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा मानिसहरूकहाँ आइन् ।

When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the LORD’s house;

14 तिनले हेरिन् र चलनअनुसार राजा खम्बानेर खडा थिए, अनि कप्‍तानहरू र तुरही फुक्‍नेहरू राजाको छेउमा थिए । देशका सबै मानिसहरूले आनन्द मनाउँदै र तुरही फुक्दै थिए । तब अतल्याहले आफ्‍ना लुगा च्यातिन् र चिच्‍च्याइन्, धोका! धोका ।”

and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”

15 तब यहोयाद पुजारीले सयौ कमान्‍डरहरूलाई यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “तिनलाई बाहिर ल्याई दल-दलको बिचमा राख । तिनको पछि लाग्‍ने जोसुकैलाई तरवारले मार ।” किनकि पुजारीले भनेका थिए, “तिनलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र नमार ।”

Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Do not let her be slain in the LORD’s house.”

16 त्यसैले जब तिनी राजदरबारमा घोडाहरू पस्‍ने ठाउँमा पुगिन्, तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र त्यहीँ तिनलाई मारियो ।

So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.

17 तब यहोयादाले तिनीहरू परमप्रभुका जाति हुनुपर्छ भनेर परमप्रभु र राजा अनि जनताको बिचमा, अनि राजा र जनताको बिचमा एउटा करार बाँधे ।

Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; also between the king and the people.

18 त्‍यसैले देशका सबै मानिसहरू बालको मन्दिरमा गए र त्यसलाई भत्काइदिए । तिनीहरूले बालका वेदीहरू र त्यसका मूर्तीहरूलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारे, र तिनीहरूले ती वेदीकै सामुन्‍ने बालको पुजारी मत्तानलाई मारे । तब यहोयादा पुजारीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पहरादारहरू नियुक्त गरे ।

All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the LORD’s house.

19 यहोयादाले आफूसित सयौं करीहरू तथा पहरादारहरूका कमान्‍डरहरू र देशका सबै मानिसहरूलाई साथमा लिए र तिनीहरूले मिलेर राजालाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट ल्याए र तिनीहरू पहरादारको ढोकाको बाटो हुँदै राजदरबारमा गए । योआशले राजकीय सिंहासनमा आफ्नो आसन ग्रहण गरे ।

He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the LORD’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.

20 त्‍यसैले देशका सबै मानिसहरू आनन्दित भए, र राजाको दरवारमा अतल्याहलाई तरवारले मारिएपछि सहरमा शान्ति भयो ।

So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.

21 योआशले राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी सात वर्षका थिए ।

Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
