< 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) ।
Josias [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jedia, daughter of Edeia of Basuroth.
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 that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father; he turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 राजा योशियाहको अठारौँ वर्षमा तिनले मशुल्लामका नाति, असल्याहका छोरा सचिव शापानलाई यसो भनेर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पठाए,
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josias, in the eighth month, the king sent Sapphan the son of Ezelias the son of Mesollam, the scribe of 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 Chelcias the high priest, and take account of the money that is brought into the house of the Lord, which they that keep the door have collected of 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 give it into the hand of the workmen that are appointed in the house of the Lord. And he gave it to the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house,
6 मन्दिरको मर्मत गर्ने सिकर्मीहरू, निर्माण गर्नेहरू, र डकर्मीहरूलाई अनि काठपात किन्न र ढुङ्गा काटनलाई तिनीहरूले त्यो रुपियाँ-पैसा देऊन् ।”
[even] to the carpenters, and builders, and masons, [and] also to purchase timber and hewn stones, to repair the breaches of the house.
7 तर तिनीहरूलाई दिइएको रुपियाँ-पैसाको हरहिसाब लिइएन किनकि तिनीहरूले यो कामलाई विश्वासका साथ सम्हालेका थिए ।
Only they did not call them to account for the money that was given to them, because they dealt faithfully.
8 प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहले सचिव शापानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक भेट्टाएको छु ।” त्यसैले हिल्कियाहले त्यो पुस्तक शापानलाई दिए, र तिनले यो पढे ।
And Chelcias the high priest said to Saphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Sapphan, and he 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 he went into the house of the Lord to the king, and reported the matter to the king, and said, Thy servants have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have given it into the hand of the workmen that are appointed in 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 ।
And Sapphan the scribe spoke to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Sapphan read it before the king.
11 जब राजाले व्यवस्थाका वचनहरू सुने तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते ।
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his garments.
12 राजाले पुजारी हिल्कियाह, शापानका छोरा अहीकाम, मीकायाका छोरा अक्बोर, सचिव शापान र राजाका आफ्नै सेवक असायाहलाई हुकुम गरे,
And the king commanded Chelcias the priest, and Achikam the son of Sapphan, and Achobor the son of Michaias, and Sapphan the scribe, and Asaias the king's servant, saying,
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, enquire of the Lord for me, and for all the people, and for all Juda, and concerning the words of this book that has been found: for the wrath of the Lord that has been kindled against us [is] great, because our fathers hearkened not to the words of this book, to do according to all the things written concerning 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 Chelcias the priest went, and Achicam, and Achobor, and Sapphan, and Asaias, to Olda the prophetess, the mother of Sellem the son of Thecuan son of Aras, keeper of the robes; and she dwelt in Jerusalem in Masena; and they spoke to her.
15 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरूलाई मकहाँ पठाउने मानिसलाई भन्,
And she said to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Say to the man that sent you to me,
16 “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, यहूदाका राजाले यस पुस्तकमा पढेअनुसार यस ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दाहरूमा म विपत्ति ल्याउनेछु ।
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, and upon them that dwell in it, [even] all the words of the book which the king of Juda 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 burnt incense to other gods, that they might provoke me with the works of their hands: therefore my wrath shall burn forth against this place, and shall 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
And to the king of Juda that sent you to enquire of the Lord, —thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which thou hast 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 thy heart was softened, and thou was humbled before [me], when thou heardest all that I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, that it should be utterly destroyed and accursed, and thou didst rend thy garments, and weep before me; I also have heard, saith 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 ।
It shall not be so [therefore]: behold, I [will] add thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy tomb in peace, and thine eyes shall not see [any] among all the evils which I bring upon this place.
