२ राजाहरू 23
1 त्यसैले राजाले सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए जसले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका सबै धर्म-गुरुलाई तिनीकहाँ भेला गराए ।
So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.
2 तब राजा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए, अनि यहूदाका सबै मानिस र यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्दा, पुजारीहरू, अगमवक्ताहरू र सानादेखि ठुलासम्म सबै मानिस पनि तिनीसँगै गए । तब तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भेट्टाइएका करारको पुस्तकका सबै वचन तिनीहरूले सुन्ने गरी पढे ।
And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who lived in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.
3 राजा खम्बानेर खडा थिए अनि आफ्नो सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले परमप्रभुको पछि लाग्न र उहाँका आज्ञाहरू, उहाँका निर्देशनहरू, उहाँका विधिहरू पालन गर्न र यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका यस करारका वचनहरू पालन गर्न परमप्रभुको सामु करार बाँधे । यसरी सबै मानिसले यो करार पालन गर्ने सहमति जनाए ।
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
4 तब प्रधान पुजारी हिल्कियाह, तिनको अधिनका पुजारीहरू र द्वारपालहरूलाई बाल देवता र अश्शेरा देवी अनि आकाशका सबै ताराहरूका निम्ति बनाइएका भाँडाहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट बाहिर ल्याउन हुकुम दिए । तिनले किद्रोन उपत्यकामा भएको मैदानहरूमा तिनलाई जलाए र तिनका खरानीलाई बेथेलमा लगे ।
And the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.
5 यहूदाका राजाहरूले यहूदाका सहरहरूका उच्च ठाउँहरू र यरूशलेम वरिपरिका ठाउँहरूमा धूप बाल्नलाई चुनेका मूर्तिपूजक पुजारीहरूलाई तिनले हटाइदिए । तिनीहरूले बाल देवता, सूर्य, चन्द्रमा, ग्रहहरू र आकाशका सबै ताराहरूलाई धूप बाल्थे ।
And he burned the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burned incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.
6 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट अश्शेरा देवीको खम्बालाई तिनले यरूशलेम बाहिर किद्रोन उपत्यकामा बाहिर लगे र त्यसलाई त्यहाँ जलाए । तिनले त्यसलाई पिटेर धूलो र त्यो धूलोलाई साधारण मानिसहरूका चिहानहरूमा फालिदिए ।
And he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burned it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.
7 तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भएका झुटो धर्मका वेश्याहरूका कोठाहरू सफा गरे, जहाँ स्त्रीहरूले अश्शेरा देवीका निम्ति वस्त्रहरू बुन्ने गर्थे ।
And he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.
8 योशियाहले यहूदाका सहरहरूबाट सबै पुजारीलाई ल्याए, र गेबादेखि बेर्शेबासम्म पुजारीहरूले धूप बाल्ने उच्चा ठाउँहरूलाई तिनले अपवित्र तुल्याइदिए । तिनले सहरको मूल ढोकाको देब्रेपट्टि यहोशूको ढोका (सहरका राज्यपा) को प्रवेशद्वारमा भएका ढोकाहरूमा बनाइएका उच्च ठाउँहरूलाई नष्ट पारिदिए ।
And he brought up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burned incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
9 ती उच्च ठाउँहरूका पुजारीहरूलाई यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न नदिए तापनि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइका बिचमा अखमिरी रोटी खाए ।
Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.
10 मोलोखलाई बलिको रूपमा कसैले आफ्ना छोरा वा छोरी आगोमा हिंड्न नलगाओस् भनेर योशियाहले बेन-हिन्नोमको बेँसीमा अवस्थित तोपेतलाई अपवित्र तुल्याए ।
And he defiled Taphes which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.
11 यहूदाका राजाहरूले सूर्यको सम्मानमा बनाएका घोडाहरू तिनले हटाए । ती नातान-मेलेक नाउँका अधिकारीको कोठा नजिक परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको प्रवेशद्वारको क्षेत्रमा राखिएका थिए । योशियाहले सूर्यको सम्मानमा बनाइएका रथहरूलाई जलाए ।
And he burned the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burned the chariot of the sun with fire.
12 आहाजको दरवारको कौसीमा यहूदाका राजाहरूले राखेका वेदीहरू र मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका दुईवटा चोकमा बनाएका वेदीहरू राजा योशियाहले नष्ट पारे । योशियाहले तिनलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारे र तिनलाई किद्रोनको बेँसीमा फाले ।
And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.
13 इस्राएलका राजा सोलोमनले यरूशलेमको पूर्वपट्टि, भ्रष्टताको पर्वतको दक्षिणपट्टि बनाएका सीदोनीहरूका देवी अश्तोरेतको घिनलाग्दो मूर्ति, मोआबीहरूको देवता कमोशको घिनलाग्दो मूर्ति र अम्मोनीहरूको देवता मोलोखको घिनलाग्दो मूर्तिलाई राजाले नष्ट पारिदिए ।
And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.
14 तिनले ढुङ्गाका खम्बाहरूलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारे, र अश्शेरा देवीका खम्बाहरूलाई काटे र ती ठाउँ मानिसका हड्डीहरूले भरे ।
And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 बेथेलमा भएको वेदी र नबातका छोरा यारोबाम (इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाउने) ले बनाएका उच्च ठाउँहरूलाई पनि योशियाहले पूर्ण रूपमा नाश पारे । तिनले त्यो वेदी र उच्च ठाउँहरूलाई जलाए र धूलोपिठो पारे । तिनले अश्शेरा देवीको खम्बालाई पनि जलाए ।
Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.
16 योशियाहले त्यस क्षेत्रमा नजर लगाए र पहाडी क्षेत्रमा तिनले चिहानहरू देखे । ती चिहानहरूबाट हड्डीहरू ल्याउन तिनले मानिसहरू पठाए । त्यसपछि तिनले ती हड्डीहरूलाई वेदीमाथि राखेर जलाए जसले त्यो अपवित्र पार्यो । परमेश्वरका मानिसले बोलेका परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार यसो हुन आएको थियो, ती मानिसले यी कुराहरूका बारेमा पहिले नै बोलेका थिए ।
And Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.
17 तब तिनले सोधे, “मैले देखेको त्यो स्मारकचाहिं केको हो?” सहरका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “त्यो यहूदाबाट आएका परमेश्वरका मानिसको चिहान हो जसले तपाईंले भर्खरै बेथेलको वेदीको विरुद्धमा गर्नुभएको कुराको बारेमा बोलेका थिए ।”
And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.
18 त्यसैले योशियाहले भने, “त्यसलाई छोड । तिनका हड्डीहरूलाई कसैले पनि नसारोस् । त्यसैले सामरियाबाट आएका अगमवक्ताका हड्डीहरूसँगै तिनका हड्डीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ छाडे ।
And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 त्यसपछि सामरियाका सहरहरूमा भएका उच्च ठाउँहरू जसलाई इस्राएलका राजाहरूले बनाएका र परमप्रभुलाई क्रुद्ध तुल्याएका थिए, ती सबैलाई योशियाहले हटाए । तिनले बेथेलमा जे गरेका थिए, तिनलाई पनि ठिक त्यही गरे ।
Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.
20 उच्च ठाउँहरूका सबै पुजारीलाई तिनले वेदीहरूमा मारे, र तिनले मानिसका हड्डीहरू तिनमा जलाए । तब तिनी यरूशलेममा फर्के ।
And he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 तब राजाले सबै मानिसलाई यसो भनरे आज्ञा दिए, “करारको पुस्तकमा लेखिएबमोजिम परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको निम्ति निस्तार-चाड मनाओ ।”
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 इस्राएलमा शासन गर्ने न्यायकर्ताहरूका समयदेखि नै यसरी निस्तार-चाडको उत्सव मनाउने काम कहिलै थिएन, न त इस्राएल र यहूदाका राजाहरूको समयमा भएको थियो ।
For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.
23 तर राजा योशियाहको अठारौँ वर्षमा यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको निस्तार-चाड मनाइयो ।
But in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 मृतहरू र भुत आत्माहरूसित बात गर्नेहरूलाई पनि योशियाहले निश्कासन गरे । तिनले यहूदा र यरूशलेममा देखिने सबै प्रेतपुजा, मूर्तिहरू र घिनलाग्दा थोकहरूलाई पनि हटाए । यसरी हिल्कियाह पुजारीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भेट्टाएका व्यवस्थाका पुस्तकमा लिखिएका वचनहरू पालन गर्ने काम भयो ।
Moreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.
25 आफ्नो सारा ह्रदय, सारा प्राण, र सारा शक्तिले परमप्रभुतर्फ फर्केर सबै मोशाको व्यवस्थालाई पालन गर्ने योशियाहभन्दा पहिले त्यहाँ कुनै अर्को राजा थिएन । न त योशियाहले झैं तिनी पछि आएका अरू कुनै राजाले नै गर्यो ।
There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one like him.
26 तापनि परमप्रभु आफ्नो दन्किरहेको क्रोधको आगोबाट फकर्नुभएन किनकि मनश्शेले गरेका सबै कामको कारणले यहूदाको विरुद्धमा उहाँलाई भयङ्कर रिस उठेको थियो ।
Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was angry in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.
27 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “जसरी मैले इस्राएललाई हटाएको छु त्यसरी नै मैले चुनेको यो यरूशलेम सहर र 'मेरो नाउँ त्यहाँ हुनेछ' भनी मैले भनेको त्यो मेरो मन्दिर समेत म यहूदालाई पनि मेरो दृष्टिबाट हटाउनेछु ।”
And the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there.
28 योशियाह सम्बन्धमा भएका अरू कुराहरू, तिनले गरेका हरेक काम, के ती यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?
And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
29 ती दिनमा मिश्रदेशका राजा फारो नेकोले आफ्ना सेना लिएर उत्तरमा यूफ्रेटिस नदी पारि अश्शूरका राजालाई युद्धमा मदत गर्न गए । राजा योशियाह नेकोलाई मगिद्दोमा रोक्ने उदेश्यले गए तर त्यहाँ युद्धमा तिनी मारिए ।
And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao killed him in Mageddo when he saw him.
30 योशियाहका सेवकहरूले तिनको लाशलाई रथमा राखेर मगिद्दोबाट यरूशलेममा ल्याए, र तिनको आफ्नै चिहानमा तिनलाई गाडे । तब देशका मानिसहरूले योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाजलाई लिई तिनलाई अभिषेक गरे, र तिनका पिताको ठाउँमा तिनलाई राजा बनाए ।
And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.
31 यहोआहाजले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी तेइस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा तिन महिना राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ हमुतल थियो । उनी लिब्नाकी यर्मियाकी छोरी थिइन् ।
Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
32 यहोआहाजले हरेक कुरामा आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले गरेझैँ परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे ।
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.
33 तिनले यरूशलेममा राज्य नगरून् भनेर फारो नेकोले तिनलाई हमात देशको रिब्लामा साङ्लाले बाँधेर राखे । तब नेकोले यहूदालाई एक सय तोडा चाँदी र एक तोडा सुन कर तिर्न लगाए ।
And Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.
34 फारो नेकोले योशियाहका छोरा एल्याकीमलाई तिनका पिताको ठाउँमा राजा बनाए, र तिनको नाउँ बद्ली यहोयाकीम राखे । तर तिनले यहोआहाजलाई चाहिँ मिश्रदेशमा लगे, जहाँ तिनको मृत्यु भयो ।
And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
35 यहोयाकीमले फारोलाई चाँदी र सुन कर तिरे । फारोको माग पुरा गर्न यहोयाकीमले देशमा कर लगाए, र देशका प्रत्येक मानिसले आफ्नो क्षमताअनुसार तिनलाई करको रूपमा चाँदी र सुन जबरदस्ती तिर्नुपर्ने भयो ।
And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.
36 यहोयाकीमले राज्य सुरु गर्दा तिनी पच्चिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले यरूशलेममा एघार वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ जबीदा थियो । उनी रूमाकी पदायाहकी छोरी थिइन् ।
Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.
37 आफ्ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूले गरेझैँ यहोयाकीमले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो, त्यही गरे ।
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
