नहेम्याह 12

1 शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल र येशूअसँग फर्केर आएका पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू यिनै हुन्‌:

Now these are the priests and the Levites who ascended with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah, Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah.

7 सल्‍लू, अमोक, हिल्‍कियाह र यदायाह । येशूअको समयमा पुजारीका अगुवाहरू र तिनीहरूका सहयोगीहरू यिनै थिए ।

These were the leaders of the priests and of their brothers, in the days of Jeshua.

8 लेवीहरू: येशूअ, बिन्‍नूई, कादमीएल, शरेबियाह, यहूदा र मत्तन्‍याह । मत्तन्‍याह आफ्‍ना सहयोगीहरूसँग धन्‍यवाद ज्ञापनका भजनहरूका जिम्‍मावाल थिए ।

And the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, they and their brothers were over the hymns,

9 तिनका सहयोगीहरू बक्‍बुक्‍याह र उन्‍नीचाहिँ सेवामा तिनीहरूका सामुन्‍ने उभिन्थे ।

with Bakbukiah, as well as Hannai, and their brothers, each one in his office.

10 येशूअ योयाकीमका पिता थिए । योयाकीम एल्‍यासीबका पिता थिए । एल्‍यासीब योयादाका पिता थिए ।

Now Jeshua conceived Joiakim, and Joiakim conceived Eliashib, and Eliashib conceived Joiada,

11 योयादा जोनाथनका पिता थिए, र जोनाथन यद्दूअका पिता थिए ।

and Joiada conceived Jonathan, and Jonathan conceived Jaddua.

12 योयाकीमको समयमा यी पुजारीहरू आ-आफ्‍ना परिवारका मुखिया थिए: सरायाहका परिवारका मरायाह, यर्मियाका हनन्‍याह,

And in the days of Joiakim, the priests and the leaders of the families were: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

13 एज्राका मशुल्‍लाम, अमर्याहका येहोहानान,

of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

14 मल्‍लूकका जोनाथन, शकन्‍याहका योसेफ,

of Maluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

15 हारीमका अदना, मरेमोतका हल्‍कै ।

of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

16 इद्दोका जकरिया, गिन्‍नतोनका मशुल्‍लाम,

of Adaiah, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

17 अबियाका जिक्री, मिन्‍यामीन र मोदाहाका पिल्‍तै,

of Abijah, Zichri; of Mijamin and Moadiah, Piltai;

18 बिल्‍गाका शम्‍मूअ, शमायाहका यहोनातान,

21 हिल्‍कियाहका हशब्‍याह, यदायाहका नतनेल ।

of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

22 एल्‍यासीब, योयादा, योहानान र यद्दूअका समयका लेवीहरूका परिवारहरू तथा पुजारीका मुखियाहरूका नाउँ फारसी राजा दाराको शासनकालमा लेखिएका थिए ।

The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, were written according to the leaders of the families, during the reign of Darius the Persian.

23 लेवी परिवारका मुखियाहरूका नाउँचाहिँ एल्‍यासीबका छोरा योहानानको पालासम्‍मै इतिहासको पुस्‍तकमा लेखिएका थिए ।

The sons of Levi, according to the leaders of the families, were written in the book of the words of those days, even to the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

24 लेवीहरूका अगुवाहरू हशब्याह, शरेबियाह, कादमीएलका छोरा येशूअ र तिनीहरूका सहयोगीहरू, जो तिनीहरूका सामुन्‍ने खडा हुन्थे, र आ-आफ्नो पालोअनुसार परमेश्‍वरका जन दाऊदको आज्ञामुताबिक प्रशंसा गर्ने र धन्यवाद दिने गर्थे ।

Now the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, in their turns, so that they would praise and confess, according to the precept of David, the man of God. And they served equally and in order.

25 मत्तन्‍याह, बक्‍बुक्‍याह, ओबदिया, मशुल्‍लाम, तल्‍मोन र अक्‍कूबचाहिँ मूल ढोकानेर भएका भण्‍डार-कोठाहरूमा रक्षा दिने द्वारपालहरू थिए ।

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were keepers of the gates and of the vestibules before the gates.

26 तिनीहरूले येशूअका छोरा, योसादाकका नाति योयाकीमको पालोमा अनि राज्यपाल नहेम्याह र पुजारीसाथै शास्‍त्री एज्राको पालोमा सेवा गरे ।

These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah, the governor, and of Ezra, the priest and scribe.

27 यरूशलेमको पर्खालको अर्पणको बेलामा धन्यवाद ज्ञापन दिँदै अनि झ्याली, वीणा र सारङ्गी बजाउँदै आनन्दसाथ अर्पणको उत्सव मनाउन मानिसहरूले लेवीहरू जहाँसुकै बसेका भए तापनि तिनीहरूको खोजी गरे ।

Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, and lyres.

28 यरूशलेम वरिपरिको जिल्ला र नतोपातीहरूका गाउँहरूबाट गायकहरू सँगै भेला भए ।

Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,

29 तिनीहरू बेथ-गिलगाल, गेबा र अज्मावेतका क्षेत्रहरूबाट पनि आए किनकि गायकहरूले यरूशलेमको वरिपरि आफ्ना लागि गाउँहरू बनाएका थिए ।

and from the house of Gilgal, and from the regions of Geba and Azmaveth. For the singing men had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.

30 पुजारी र लेवीहरूले आ-आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे, अनि तिनीहरूले मानिसहरू, मूल ढोकाहरू र पर्खाललाई शुद्ध पारे ।

And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31 तब मैले यहूदाका अगुवाहरूलाई पर्खालको माथि जान लगाएँ, र धन्यवाद दिन मैले दुईवटा ठुला-ठुला गायन-झुण्ड नियुक्त गरेँ । एउटा झुण्ड दाहिनेतिर पर्खालमा फोहोर ढोकामा गयो ।

Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate.

32 होशयाह र यहूदाका आधा अगुवाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पछ्याए,

And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah,

33 अनि अजर्याह, एज्रा, मशुल्लाम,

and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

34 यहूदा, बेन्यामीन, शमायाह र यर्मिया तिनीहरूको पछि लागे ।

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah.

35 साथै, तुरहीहरू बोकेर केही पुजाहारीहरूका छोराहरू र जकरिया, जो जोनाथनका छोरा, जो शमायाहका छोरा, जो मत्तन्‍याहका छोरा, जो मीकायाका छोरा, जो जक्‍कूरका छोरा, जो आसापका छोरा थिए, तिनीहरू पनि पछि लागे ।

And some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph.

36 त्यहाँ जकरियाका नातेदारहरू अर्थात् शमायाह, अज्रेल, मिललै, गिललै, माऐ, नतनेल, यहूदा र हनानी पनि परमेश्‍वरका जन दाऊदका साङ्गीतिक साधनहरू बोकेर आएका थिए । शास्‍त्री एज्रा सबैभन्दा अगाडि थिए ।

And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.

37 तिनीहरू फुहारा ढोकाबाट भएर दाऊदको सहरका सिँढीहरूबाट सिधै पर्खालमा उकालो चढ्ने बाटो भएर दाऊदको दरबार पार गरी पूर्वतिर अवस्थित पानी ढोकासम्मै गए ।

And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to the east.

38 धन्यवाद दिनेहरूको अर्को गायन झुण्ड अर्को दिशामा गयो । मानिसहरूका आधा भागसँगै मैले तिनीहरूलाई पर्खालमा पछ्याएँ । यो झुण्ड भट्टिको बुर्जा भएर, चौडा पर्खालसम्म,

And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest wall,

39 र एफ्राइमको ढोका, येशना ढोका, माछा ढोका, हननेलको बुर्जा र सयको बुर्जादेखि भेडा ढोकासम्म गएपछि तिनीहरू गारदको ढोकामा अडिए ।

and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.

40 यसरी धन्यवाद दिनेहरूका यी दुवै गायन-झुण्ड परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरमा आ-आफ्नो स्थानमा बसे, र म पनि अधिकारीहरूको आधा भागसँगै आफ्नो स्थानमा बसेँ ।

And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.

41 त्यसपछि पुजारीहरू एल्‍याकीम, मासेयाह, मिन्‍यामीन, मीकाया, एल्‍योएनै, जकरिया र हनन्‍याह तुरहीहरू बोकेर आ-आफ्नो स्थानमा बसे ।

And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,

42 साथै, मासेयाह, शमायाह, एलाजार, उज्‍जी, येहोहानान, मल्‍कियाह, एलाम र एसेर पनि त्यहाँ थिए । गायकहरूले तिनीहरूका अगुवा यिज्रहियाहको निर्देशनमा गाए ।

with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.

43 त्यस दिन तिनीहरूले ठुला-ठुला बलिदानहरू चढाए, र आनन्द मनाए, किनकि परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई बडो आनन्द मनाउन दिनुभएको थियो । स्‍त्रीहरू र बालबालिकाहरूले पनि आनन्द मनाए । यसरी यरूशलेमको आनन्द टाढा-टाढासम्म सुन्‍न सकिन्थ्यो ।

And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.

44 त्यस दिन भेटीहरू, अगौटे फलहरू र दशांशहरूका निम्ति भण्डार-कोठाहरूको जिम्मा लिन अनि लेवीहरू र पुजारीहरूका निम्ति व्यवस्थाले तोकेबमोजिम हिस्सा जम्मा गर्न मानिसहरू नियुक्त गरिए । सहरका नजिकका बस्तीहरूबाट काम गर्न हरेकलाई जिम्मा दिइएको थियो । किनकि यहूदा पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूबाट प्रसन्‍न भए जो तिनीहरूका सामु खडा थिए ।

On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.

45 दाऊद र तिनका छोरा सोलोमनको आज्ञामुताबिक तिनीहरूले आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको सेवा र शुद्धिको सेवा गरे, अनि गायकहरू र द्वारपालहरूले पनि त्यसै गरे ।

And they kept the vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of Solomon, his son.

46 किनकि धेरै पहिले दाऊद र आसापको समयमा गायकहरूका निर्देशकहरू थिए, र त्यहाँ परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति प्रशंसासाथै धन्यवाद ज्ञापन हुन्थ्यो ।

For in the days of David and Asaph, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess to God.

47 यरुबाबेल र नहेम्याहको समयमा सारा इस्राएलले गायकहरू र द्वारपालहरूका लागि दैनिक हिस्सा दिन्थे । तिनीहरूले लेवीहरूका निम्ति भाग छुट्ट्याउँथे, र लेवीहरूले हारूनका सन्तानहरूका निम्ति भाग छुट्ट्याउँथे ।

And all of Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.
