< २ राजाहरू 11 >

1 अब अहज्याहकी आमा अतल्याहले आफ्नो छोरो मरेका देखेपछि तिनी उठिन् र सबै राजकीय बालबालिकालाई मारिन् ।
Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and killed all the royal children.
2 तर राजा यहोरामकी छोरी, अहज्याहकी बहिनी यहोशेबाले मारिन लागेका राजाका छोराहरूका माझबाट अहज्याहका छोरो योआशलाई तिनको धाईसँगै सुटुक्‍क लगेर लुकाइन् । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सुत्‍ने कोठामा राखिन् । योआश नमारिऊन् भनेर तिनीहरूले अतल्याहबाट उसलाई लुकाए ।
But Jehosheba, a daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and hid him away from among the king's sons who were killed, along with his nurse; she put them into a bedroom. They hid him from Athaliah so that he was not killed.
3 अतल्याहले देशमा राज्‍य गर्दा परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा छ वर्षसम्म उसलाई आफ्‍नो धाईसँगै लुकाइयो ।
He remained with her six years, hidden in the house of Yahweh, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
4 सातौँ वर्षमा यहोयादाले सन्देश पठाए, र सयौं करीहरू तथा पहरादारहरूका कमान्‍डरहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आफूकहाँ लाए । तिनले तिनीहरूसित करार बाँधे र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा तिनीहरूलाई शपथ खान लगाए । तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई राजाका छोरा देखाए ।
In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent messages and brought the commanders of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to himself, into the temple of Yahweh. He made a covenant with them, and he made them swear an oath in the house of Yahweh. Then he showed them the king's son.
5 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नुपर्छ । तिमीहरूमध्ये एक-तिहाइ जो शबाथमा आउँछौ, तिमीहरूले राजदरबारको रेखदेख गर्नेछौ,
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do. A third of you who come on the Sabbath will keep watch over the king's house,
6 र एक-तिहाइचाहिं सुर ढोकामा बस्‍नेछौ अनि बाँकी एक-तिहाइ रक्षक कोठाको पछाडि बस्‍नेछौ ।”
and a third will be at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guardhouse.”
7 शबाथमा सेवा नगर्ने अन्य दुईवटा दलले, राजाको लागि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा रेखदेख गर्नुपर्छ ।
The two other groups who are not serving on the Sabbath, you must keep the watch over the house of Yahweh for the king.
8 हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो हातमा तरवार लिएर राजाको वरिपरि तैनाथ हुनुपर्छ । तिमीहरूको नजिक आउने जोसुकै भए पनि त्‍यसलाई मारियोस् । राजा बाहिर जाँदा र भित्र आउँदा तिमीहरू तिनीसँगै हिड्‍नुपर्छ ।
You must surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever enters within your ranks, let him be killed. You must stay with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
9 त्यसैले यहोयादा पुजारीले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार सयौं दलका कमान्‍डरहरूले सबै कुरा गरे । हरेकले आफ्नो दलका मानिसहरू अर्थात् शबाथमा सेवा गर्न खटाइएकाहरू र शबाथमा सेवा गर्नबाट फुर्सद भएकाहरूलाई लिएर तिनीहरू यहोयादा पुजारीकहाँ आए ।
So the commanders of hundreds obeyed everything Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one took his men, those who were to come in to serve on the Sabbath, and those who were to stop serving on that Sabbath; and they came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 तब यहोयादा पुजारीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखिएका राजा दाऊदका भालाहरू र ढालहरू कमान्‍डरहरूलाई दिए ।
Then Jehoiada the priest gave the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields that belonged to King David and that were in the house of Yahweh.
11 मन्दिरको दाहिने किनाराबाट देब्रे किनारासम्म अनि वेदी र मन्दिरको नजिक अङ्गरक्षहरू आ-आफ्ना हातमा हतियार लिएर खडा भएर राजालाई घेरा हाले ।
So the guards stood, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side, near the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.
12 तब यहोयादाले राजाका छोरा योआशलाई बाहिर ल्याए, तिनलाई श्रीपेच लगाइदिए, र तिनलाई करारको उर्दी थमाइदिए । तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई राजा बनाए र तिनलाई अभिषेक गरे । तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना ताली बजाए र भने, “राजा दीर्घायु रहून्!”
Then Jehoiada brought out the king's son Joash, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king and anointed him. They clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king!”
13 जब अतल्याहले अङ्गरक्षकहरू र मानिसहरूको हल्‍ला सुनिन्, तब तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा मानिसहरूकहाँ आइन् ।
When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh.
14 तिनले हेरिन् र चलनअनुसार राजा खम्बानेर खडा थिए, अनि कप्‍तानहरू र तुरही फुक्‍नेहरू राजाको छेउमा थिए । देशका सबै मानिसहरूले आनन्द मनाउँदै र तुरही फुक्दै थिए । तब अतल्याहले आफ्‍ना लुगा च्यातिन् र चिच्‍च्याइन्, धोका! धोका ।”
She looked, and, behold, the king was standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”
15 तब यहोयाद पुजारीले सयौ कमान्‍डरहरूलाई यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “तिनलाई बाहिर ल्याई दल-दलको बिचमा राख । तिनको पछि लाग्‍ने जोसुकैलाई तरवारले मार ।” किनकि पुजारीले भनेका थिए, “तिनलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र नमार ।”
Then Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds who were over the army, saying, “Bring her out between the ranks. Anyone who follows her, kill him with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of Yahweh.”
16 त्यसैले जब तिनी राजदरबारमा घोडाहरू पस्‍ने ठाउँमा पुगिन्, तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र त्यहीँ तिनलाई मारियो ।
So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds, and there she was killed.
17 तब यहोयादाले तिनीहरू परमप्रभुका जाति हुनुपर्छ भनेर परमप्रभु र राजा अनि जनताको बिचमा, अनि राजा र जनताको बिचमा एउटा करार बाँधे ।
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and people, that they should be Yahweh's people, and also between the king and the people.
18 त्‍यसैले देशका सबै मानिसहरू बालको मन्दिरमा गए र त्यसलाई भत्काइदिए । तिनीहरूले बालका वेदीहरू र त्यसका मूर्तीहरूलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारे, र तिनीहरूले ती वेदीकै सामुन्‍ने बालको पुजारी मत्तानलाई मारे । तब यहोयादा पुजारीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पहरादारहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
So all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his idol figures to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars. Then Jehoida the priest appointed guards over the temple of Yahweh.
19 यहोयादाले आफूसित सयौं करीहरू तथा पहरादारहरूका कमान्‍डरहरू र देशका सबै मानिसहरूलाई साथमा लिए र तिनीहरूले मिलेर राजालाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट ल्याए र तिनीहरू पहरादारको ढोकाको बाटो हुँदै राजदरबारमा गए । योआशले राजकीय सिंहासनमा आफ्नो आसन ग्रहण गरे ।
Jehoida took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guard, and all the people of the land, and together they brought down the king from the house of Yahweh and they went into the king's house, entering by way of the gate of the guards. Joash took his place on the royal throne.
20 त्‍यसैले देशका सबै मानिसहरू आनन्दित भए, र राजाको दरवारमा अतल्याहलाई तरवारले मारिएपछि सहरमा शान्ति भयो ।
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword at the king's house.
21 योआशले राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी सात वर्षका थिए ।
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.
