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, began Jehoash to reign, and, forty years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, 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 eyes of Yahweh all his days, —whereunto, Jehoiada the priest, instructed him:

3 तर डाँडाका थानहरू भने हटाइएनन् । मानिसहरूले अझै पनि डाँडाका थानहरूमा बलिदान चढाए र धूप बाले ।

save only, that, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning 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 unto the priests, —All the silver of the hallowed things, that is brought into the house of Yahweh—the silver of one who transgresseth, the silver of [their] persons by the estimate of, each one, —all the silver which it cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yahweh,

5 पुजारीहरूले कुनै एक जना कोषाध्यक्षबाट रकम लिऊन् र मन्दिरमा भएको कुनै पनि क्षतिको मर्मत गरून् ।”

let the priests take to them, every one from his acquaintance, —and let, them, repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever there may be found a breach.

6 तर राजा योआशको तेइसौँ वर्षसम्म पनि पुजारीहरूले मन्दिरमा केही पनि मर्मत गरेका थिएनन् ।

But it came to pass, that, in the twenty-third 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 ।”

So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them—Why are ye not repairing the breaches of the house? Now, therefore, do not take silver from your acquaintances, for, to [repair] the breaches of the house, ought ye to have given it?

8 त्यसैले अब मानिसहरूबाट रुपियाँ-पैसा नलिने र पुजारीहरू आफैले मन्दिरको मर्मत नगर्ने कुरामा तिनीहरू सहमत भए ।

The priests therefore consented, not to take silver from 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 ।

Then took Jehoiada a certain chest, and bored a hole in the door thereof, —and set it beside the altar, on the right as one entereth into the house of Yahweh, and the priests that kept the entrance-hall, used to put therein—all the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh.

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 silver in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and brought together and counted the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh;

11 तिनीहरूले उक्त रकम हिसाब गरेपछि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको रेखदेख गर्नेहरूका हातमा दिन्थे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा काम गर्ने सिकर्मीहरू र निर्माणकर्ताहरू

then used they to give the silver that had been weighed out, into the hands of the doers of the work, who had oversight of the house of Yahweh, —and they brought it forth, to the carpenters, and to the builders, who were working upon the house of Yahweh;

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, and to buy timber, and hewn stone, for repairing the breaches of the house of Yahweh, —and to every one that went out upon 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 Yahweh, bowls of silver, snuffers, dashing basins, trumpets, any vessel of gold, or any vessel of silver, —out of the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh;

14 तिनीहरूले यो पैसा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको मर्मतको काम गर्नेहरूलाई दिए ।

for, to the doers of the work, used they to give it; and so they repaired, therewith, the house of Yahweh.

15 यसको बाहेक, तिनीहरूले काम गर्नेहरूका निम्ति मुख्य कामदारहरूलाई दिएका रुपियाँ-पैसाको हिसाब आवश्‍यक थिएन किनकि यी मानिसहरू इमानदार थिए ।

And they used not to reckon with the men into whose hands they gave the silver, to give it to the doers of the work, because, with faithfulness, were, they, dealing.

16 तर दोष बलि र पाप बलिको निम्ति ल्याइने रुपियाँ-पैसा भने परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याइएन किनकि यो पुजारीहरूको थियो ।

Silver for guilt-offerings and silver for sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh, —to the priests, they belonged.

17 त्यसपछि अरामका राजा हजाएलले गातको विरुद्धमा आक्रमण गरे र त्‍यसलाई लिए । त्यसपछि हजाएलले यरूशलेमलाई आक्रमण गर्न फर्के ।

Then, came up Hazael, king of Syria, and fought against Gath, and captured it, —so Hazael set 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 ।

Therefore did Jehoash, king of Judah, take all the hallowed things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had hallowed, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, —and sent to Hazael king of Syria, so he went up from against Jerusalem.

19 योशाश, तिनले गरेका अरू कामहरूका बारेमा यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

Now, the rest of the story 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 smote Joash, in the house of Millo which teeth 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 ।

Yea, Jozabar son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, that he died, and he was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Amaziah his son, reigned in his stead.
