< २ राजाहरू 12 >
1 येहूको सातौँ वर्षमा योआशले राज्य गर्न थाले । तिनले यरूशलेममा चालिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ सिब्या थियो, जो बेर्शेबाकी थिइन् ।
Joas began to reign in the seventh year of Ju, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Sabia of Bersabee.
2 योआशले सधैँ परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ, त्यही गरे किनकि यहोयादा पुजारीले तिनलाई सल्लाह दिने गर्थे ।
And Joas did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days that Jodae the priest instructed him.
3 तर डाँडाका थानहरू भने हटाइएनन् । मानिसहरूले अझै पनि डाँडाका थानहरूमा बलिदान चढाए र धूप बाले ।
Only there were not [any] of the high places removed, and the people still sacrificed there, and burnt incense on the high places.
4 योआशले पुजारीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र पवित्र भेटीहरूको रूपमा ल्याइएका सबै रुपियाँ-पैसा अर्थात् जनगणनामा जम्मा गरिएको रकम वा व्यक्तिगत भाकलबाट प्राप्त गरिएको रकम वा परमप्रभुद्वारा मानिसहरूका आ-आफ्ना ह्रदयमा प्रेरित गरी तिनीहरूद्वारा ल्याइएको रकम जम्मा गर,
And Joas said to the priests, [As for] all the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of the Lord, the money of valuation, [as] each man brings the money of valuation, all the money which any man may feel disposed to bring into the house of the Lord,
5 पुजारीहरूले कुनै एक जना कोषाध्यक्षबाट रकम लिऊन् र मन्दिरमा भएको कुनै पनि क्षतिको मर्मत गरून् ।”
let the priests take it to themselves, every man from [the proceeds of] his sale: and they shall repair the breaches of the house in all [places] wherever a breach shall be found.
6 तर राजा योआशको तेइसौँ वर्षसम्म पनि पुजारीहरूले मन्दिरमा केही पनि मर्मत गरेका थिएनन् ।
And it came to pass in the twenty-third year of king Joas the priests [had] not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 तब राजा योआशले यहोयादा पुजारी र अन्य पुजारीहरूलाई बोलाई तिनीहरूलाई भने, “किन तिमीहरूले मन्दिरमा केही पनि मर्मत गरेका छैनौ? अबदेखि तिमीहरूका कर उठाउनेहरूबाट रकम नउठाउनू, तर मन्दिरको मर्मतको लागि जे-जेति जम्मा भएका छन्, ती लिएर मर्मत गर्न सक्नेहरूलाई दिनू ।”
And king Joas called Jodae the priest, and the [other] priests, and said to them, Why have you not repaired the breaches of the house? now then receive no [more] money from your sales, for you shall give it to [repair the] breaches of the house.
8 त्यसैले अब मानिसहरूबाट रुपियाँ-पैसा नलिने र पुजारीहरू आफैले मन्दिरको मर्मत नगर्ने कुरामा तिनीहरू सहमत भए ।
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, and not to repair the breaches of the house.
9 बरु, यहोयादा पुजारीले एउटा सन्दुक लिएर त्यसमा प्वाल पारे, अनि यसलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र प्रवेश गर्ने दाहिनेपट्टि वेदीको छेउमा राखे । मन्दिरको प्रवेशद्वारको पहरा दिने पुजारीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याएका सबै रकम त्यसैमा हाल्थे ।
And Jodae the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it by the altar in the house of a man [belonging to] the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the door put [therein] all the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
10 जब सन्दुकमा धेरै रकम जम्मा भएको तिनीहरूले देख्थे, राजाका सचिव र प्रधान पुजारी आउँथे र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याइएको रुपियाँ-पैसा थैलाहरूमा हाल्थे र त्यसपछि गणना गर्थे ।
And it came to pass, when they saw that [there was] much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest went up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
11 तिनीहरूले उक्त रकम हिसाब गरेपछि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको रेखदेख गर्नेहरूका हातमा दिन्थे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा काम गर्ने सिकर्मीहरू र निर्माणकर्ताहरू
And they gave the money that had been collected into the hands of them that wrought the works, the overseers of the house of the Lord; and they gave it out to the carpenters and to the builders that wrought in the house of the Lord.
12 अनि डकर्मीहरू र ढुङ्गा काट्नेहरू, परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको मर्मतको निम्ति तिनीहरूले काठपात र काटेर मिलाइएका ढुङ्गाहरू किन्नलाई र मन्दिरको पुनर्निर्माणको लागि आवश्यक सबै खर्च गर्नलाई त्यो लिएर तिर्थे ।
And to the masons, and to the hewers of stone, to purchase timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, for all that was spent on the house of the Lord to repair [it].
13 तर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र ल्याइएको रकम चाँदीको कचौरा, सामदानका चिम्टाहरू, बाटाहरू, तुरहीहरू वा सुनचाँदीका सजावटका सामानहरूका लागि खर्च गरिएन ।
Only there were not to be made for the house of the Lord silver plates, studs, bowls, or trumpets, any vessel of gold or vessel of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord:
14 तिनीहरूले यो पैसा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको मर्मतको काम गर्नेहरूलाई दिए ।
for they were to give it to the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
15 यसको बाहेक, तिनीहरूले काम गर्नेहरूका निम्ति मुख्य कामदारहरूलाई दिएका रुपियाँ-पैसाको हिसाब आवश्यक थिएन किनकि यी मानिसहरू इमानदार थिए ।
Also they took no account of the men into whose hands they gave the money to give to the workmen, for they acted faithfully.
16 तर दोष बलि र पाप बलिको निम्ति ल्याइने रुपियाँ-पैसा भने परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याइएन किनकि यो पुजारीहरूको थियो ।
Money for a sin-offering, and money for a trespass-offering, whatever happened to be brought into the house of the Lord, went to the priests.
17 त्यसपछि अरामका राजा हजाएलले गातको विरुद्धमा आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई लिए । त्यसपछि हजाएलले यरूशलेमलाई आक्रमण गर्न फर्के ।
Then went up Azael king of Syria, and fought against Geth, and took it: and Azael set his face to go against Jerusalem.
18 यहूदाका राजा योआशले तिनका पुर्खाहरू अर्थात् यहूदाका राजाहरू यहोशापात, यहोराम र अहज्याह र तिनी आफैले अलग गरेका सबै पवित्र थोकसाथै परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजाका भण्डार कोठाहरूमा भेट्टाइएका सबै सुन लिए र ती अरामका राजा हजाएललाई पठाइदिए । तब हजाएल यरूशलेमबाट गए ।
And Joas king of Juda took all the holy things which Josaphat, and Joram, Ochozias, his fathers, and kings of Juda [had] consecrated, and what he had himself dedicated, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the Lord's house and the king's house, and he sent [them] to Azael king of Syria; and he went up from Jerusalem.
19 योशाश, तिनले गरेका अरू कामहरूका बारेमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
20 तिनका सेवकहरू खडा भए र तिनीहरूले मिलेर षड्यन्त्र गरे । तिनीहरूले योशाशलाई सिल्लाको ओरालो बाटोमा भएको बेथ-मिल्लोमा आक्रमण गरे ।
And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and struck Joas in the house of Mallo that is in Sela.
21 तिनका सेवकहरू शिम्मतका छोरा योजाबाद र शोमेरका छोरा यहोजाबादले तिनलाई आक्रमण गरे, अनि तिनी मरे । तिनीहरूले योआशलाई दाऊदको सहरमा तिनका पुर्खाहरूसित गाडे, र तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा अमस्याह राजा भए ।
And Jezirchar the son of Jemuath, and Jezabuth Somer's son, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amessias his son reigned in his stead.
