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 began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
2 परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक थियो, तिनले त्यही गरे । तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदका सबै मार्गमा हिंडे, र तिनी दायाँ र बायाँ लागेनन् ।
He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away 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,
In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to Yahweh’s house, 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, that he may count the money which is brought into Yahweh’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered 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 ।
Let them deliver it into the hand of the workers who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and let them give it to the workers who are in Yahweh’s house, to repair the damage to the house,
6 मन्दिरको मर्मत गर्ने सिकर्मीहरू, निर्माण गर्नेहरू, र डकर्मीहरूलाई अनि काठपात किन्न र ढुङ्गा काटनलाई तिनीहरूले त्यो रुपियाँ-पैसा देऊन् ।”
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
7 तर तिनीहरूलाई दिइएको रुपियाँ-पैसाको हरहिसाब लिइएन किनकि तिनीहरूले यो कामलाई विश्वासका साथ सम्हालेका थिए ।
However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal 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 ।
Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in Yahweh’s house.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, 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 ।”
Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house.”
10 तब सचिव शापानले राजालाई भने, “प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाहले मलाई एउटा पुस्तक दिएका छन् ।” तब शापानले त्यो राजाको लागि पढे ।
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king.
11 जब राजाले व्यवस्थाका वचनहरू सुने तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते ।
When the king had 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,
The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah 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 inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is Yahweh’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is 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 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
15 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरूलाई मकहाँ पठाउने मानिसलाई भन्,
She said to them, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
16 “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, यहूदाका राजाले यस पुस्तकमा पढेअनुसार यस ठाउँ र यसका बासिन्दाहरूमा म विपत्ति ल्याउनेछु ।
“Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which 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 have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it 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 to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, tell him, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have 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 Yahweh when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,’ says Yahweh.
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 behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” So they brought this message back to the king.
