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 became Jehoash king; and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zibyah of Beer-sheba'.
2 योआशले सधैँ परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ, त्यही गरे किनकि यहोयादा पुजारीले तिनलाई सल्लाह दिने गर्थे ।
And Jehoash did what is right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, that Yehoyada' the priest instructed him.
3 तर डाँडाका थानहरू भने हटाइएनन् । मानिसहरूले अझै पनि डाँडाका थानहरूमा बलिदान चढाए र धूप बाले ।
Only the high-places were not removed: the people as yet sacrificed 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 Jehoash said to the priests, all the money of the dedicated things that may be brought into the house of the Lord, the money of every one that passeth the numbering, the money any man is valued at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord,
5 पुजारीहरूले कुनै एक जना कोषाध्यक्षबाट रकम लिऊन् र मन्दिरमा भएको कुनै पनि क्षतिको मर्मत गरून् ।”
The priests shall take to themselves, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach may be found.
6 तर राजा योआशको तेइसौँ वर्षसम्म पनि पुजारीहरूले मन्दिरमा केही पनि मर्मत गरेका थिएनन् ।
But it happened, 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 called king Jehoash for Yehoyada' the priest, and the [other] priests, and he said unto them, Wherefore do ye not repair the breaches of the house? and now ye shall take no more money from your acquaintances, but ye shall give it up [at once] 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 neither to take any more money from the people, nor 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 Yehoyada' the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and he placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept watch at the threshold put therein all the money, that was brought into 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 happened, 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, after having 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, after it was counted, into the hands of those who overlooked the workmen, that had been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters and to the builders, that wrought on 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 the hewers of stone, and for the purchase of timber and hewn stones to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, 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 ।
Nevertheless there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, knives, basins, trumpets, all kinds of vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, from the money that was brought into the house of the Lord;
14 तिनीहरूले यो पैसा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको मर्मतको काम गर्नेहरूलाई दिए ।
But they gave it to those who overlooked 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 ।
And they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give it to those who overlooked the workmen; for they acted in good faith.
16 तर दोष बलि र पाप बलिको निम्ति ल्याइने रुपियाँ-पैसा भने परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याइएन किनकि यो पुजारीहरूको थियो ।
The money for trespass-offerings and the money for sin-offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord: it belonged to the priests.
17 त्यसपछि अरामका राजा हजाएलले गातको विरुद्धमा आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई लिए । त्यसपछि हजाएलले यरूशलेमलाई आक्रमण गर्न फर्के ।
At that time Chazael the king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and captured it: and Chazael directed his face to go up 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 ।
Then took Jehoash the king of Judah all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Achazyahu, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and sent it to Chazael the king of Syria: and he withdrew 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, behold, they are 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 formed a conspiracy, and smote Joash in Beth-millo, which [lieth on the road] that 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 ।
And Yozachar the son of Shim'ath, and Yehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amazyah his son became king in his stead.
