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 ।
In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer–sheba.
2 योआशले सधैँ परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ, त्यही गरे किनकि यहोयादा पुजारीले तिनलाई सल्लाह दिने गर्थे ।
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of Yhwh all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 तर डाँडाका थानहरू भने हटाइएनन् । मानिसहरूले अझै पनि डाँडाका थानहरूमा बलिदान चढाए र धूप बाले ।
But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in 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 Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of Yhwh, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yhwh,
5 पुजारीहरूले कुनै एक जना कोषाध्यक्षबाट रकम लिऊन् र मन्दिरमा भएको कुनै पनि क्षतिको मर्मत गरून् ।”
Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.
6 तर राजा योआशको तेइसौँ वर्षसम्म पनि पुजारीहरूले मन्दिरमा केही पनि मर्मत गरेका थिएनन् ।
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash 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 ।”
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for 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, neither 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 ।
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of Yhwh: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Yhwh.
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 was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of Yhwh.
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, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of Yhwh: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of Yhwh,
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 masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yhwh, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 तर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र ल्याइएको रकम चाँदीको कचौरा, सामदानका चिम्टाहरू, बाटाहरू, तुरहीहरू वा सुनचाँदीका सजावटका सामानहरूका लागि खर्च गरिएन ।
Howbeit there were not made for the house of Yhwh bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Yhwh:
14 तिनीहरूले यो पैसा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको मर्मतको काम गर्नेहरूलाई दिए ।
But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of Yhwh.
15 यसको बाहेक, तिनीहरूले काम गर्नेहरूका निम्ति मुख्य कामदारहरूलाई दिएका रुपियाँ-पैसाको हिसाब आवश्यक थिएन किनकि यी मानिसहरू इमानदार थिए ।
Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
16 तर दोष बलि र पाप बलिको निम्ति ल्याइने रुपियाँ-पैसा भने परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याइएन किनकि यो पुजारीहरूको थियो ।
The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of Yhwh: it was the priests’.
17 त्यसपछि अरामका राजा हजाएलले गातको विरुद्धमा आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई लिए । त्यसपछि हजाएलले यरूशलेमलाई आक्रमण गर्न फर्के ।
Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to 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 Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Yhwh, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 योशाश, तिनले गरेका अरू कामहरूका बारेमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 तिनका सेवकहरू खडा भए र तिनीहरूले मिलेर षड्यन्त्र गरे । तिनीहरूले योशाशलाई सिल्लाको ओरालो बाटोमा भएको बेथ-मिल्लोमा आक्रमण गरे ।
And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
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 ।
For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
