२ राजाहरू 22
1 योशियाहले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी आठ वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा एकतिस वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ यदीता थियो (उनी बोस्कतकी अदायाहकी छोरी थिइन्) ।
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.
2 परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे । तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदका सबै मार्गमा हिंडे, र तिनी दायाँ र बायाँ लागेनन् ।
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
3 राजा योशियाहको अठारौँ वर्षमा तिनले मशुल्लामका नाति, असल्याहका छोरा सचिव शापानलाई यसो भनेर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पठाए,
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the scribe, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of the LORD, saying,
4 “प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहकहाँ जाऊ, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याइएको रुपियाँ-पैसा जसलाई मन्दिरका पहरादारहरूले मानिसहरूबाट जम्मा गरेका छन्, त्यो गन्न तिनलाई भन ।
“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money that has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.
5 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको रेखदेख गर्ने मानिसहरूका हातमा त्यो दिनू, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर मर्मत गर्ने कारिन्दाहरूलाई मन्दिरको मरम्मत गर्ने कामको निम्ति त्यो देऊन् ।
And let them deliver it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn are to give it to the workmen repairing the damages to the house of the LORD—
6 मन्दिरको मर्मत गर्ने सिकर्मीहरू, निर्माण गर्नेहरू, र डकर्मीहरूलाई अनि काठपात किन्न र ढुङ्गा काटनलाई तिनीहरूले त्यो रुपियाँ-पैसा देऊन् ।”
to the carpenters, builders, and masons—to buy timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.
7 तर तिनीहरूलाई दिइएको रुपियाँ-पैसाको हरहिसाब लिइएन किनकि तिनीहरूले यो कामलाई विश्वासका साथ सम्हालेका थिए ।
But they need not account for the money put into their hands, since they work with integrity.”
8 प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहले सचिव शापानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक भेट्टाएको छु ।” त्यसैले हिल्कियाहले त्यो पुस्तक शापानलाई दिए, र तिनले यो पढे ।
Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD!” And he gave it to Shaphan, who read it.
9 शापानले त्यो किताब राजाकहाँ लगे, र तिनलाई यसो भनी विवरण दिए, “तपाईंका दासहरूले मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका रुपियाँ-पैसा खर्च गरेका छन्, र तिनीहरूले यो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको रेखदेख गर्ने कारिन्दहरूका हातमा दिएका छन् ।”
And Shaphan the scribe went to the king and reported, “Your servants have paid out the money that was found in the temple and have put it into the hands of the workers and supervisors of the house of the LORD.”
10 तब सचिव शापानले राजालाई भने, “प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहले मलाई एउटा पुस्तक दिएका छन् ।” तब शापानले त्यो राजाको लागि पढे ।
Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king.
11 जब राजाले व्यवस्थाका वचनहरू सुने तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते ।
When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes
12 राजाले पुजारी हिल्कियाह, शापानका छोरा अहीकाम, मीकायाका छोरा अक्बोर, सचिव शापान र राजाका आफ्नै सेवक असायाहलाई हुकुम गरे,
and commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
13 “जाओ, र यस पुस्तकमा पाइएका वचनहरूको कारणले मेरो लागि र सारा यहूदाका लागि परमप्रभुको सल्लाह खोज । किनकि हाम्रा विरुद्धमा भएको परमप्रभुको क्रोध भयानक छ, किनभने यस पुस्तकमा भएका हाम्रा सम्बन्धका वचनलाई हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले जसरी पालन गर्नुपर्थ्यो त्यसरी तिनीहरूले गरेनन् ।”
“Go and inquire of the LORD for me, for the people, and for all Judah concerning the words in this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book by doing all that is written about us.”
14 त्यसैले पुजारी हिल्कियाह, अहीकाम, अक्बोर, शापान र असायाह अगमवादिनी हुल्दाकहाँ गए । उनी दरबारका लुगाफाटो हेरचाह गर्ने हरहसका नाति, तिक्भाका छोरा शल्लूमकी पत्नी थिइन् । (उनी यरूशलेमको दोस्रो टोलमा बस्थिन्) । तिनीहरूले उनीसित कुरा गरे ।
So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
15 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरूलाई मकहाँ पठाउने मानिसलाई भन्,
And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
16 “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, यहूदाका राजाले यस पुस्तकमा पढेअनुसार यस ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दाहरूमा म विपत्ति ल्याउनेछु ।
that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read,
17 किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागे अनि अन्य देवताहरूलाई धूप बाले, यसरी तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै कामले तिनीहरूले मलाई रिस उठाए— यसकारण यस ठाउँको विरुद्धमा मेरो क्रोध दन्केको छ, र यो निभाइने छैन' ।”
because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be kindled against this place and will not be quenched.’
18 तर परमप्रभुको इच्छा जान्न तिमीहरूलाई पठाउने यहूदाका राजालाई चाहिं तिमीहरूले यसो भन, 'तपाईंले सुन्नुभएको वचनको विषयमा इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः
But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,
19 तिनीहरू उजाड र श्रापित हुनेछन् भनी मैले यस ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दाहरूको विरुद्धमा भनेको सुनेर तैँले आफ्नो ह्रदय कोमल बनाएको र तैँले परमप्रभुको सामु आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्याएको अनि तैँले आफ्ना लुगा च्यातेको र मेरो सामु रोएका हुनाले मैले तेरो कुरा पनि सुनेको छु—यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its people, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.
20 हेर्, म तँलाई तेरा पुर्खाहरूसित जम्मा गर्नेछु, र तँ शान्तिसित तेरो चिहानमा जानेछस् । मैले यस ठाउँमा ल्याउने सबै विपत्तिलाई तेरा आँखाले देख्नेछैनस् । यसरी मानिसहरूले राजाकहाँ यो सन्देश लिएर गए ।
‘Therefore I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place.’” So they brought her answer back to the king.
