1 Esdras 1 Wycliffe Bible (WYC) 1 And Josiah made (the) pask (or the passover) in Jerusalem to the Lord, and he offered (the) pask the fourteenth day of the month of the first month, 2 ordaining (the) priests by their whiles of days, clothed in stoles, or long clothes, in the temple of the Lord. 3 And he said to the deacons [or to the Levites], the holy servants of Israel, that they should hallow themselves to the Lord, in (the) setting of the holy ark of the Lord in the house, that king Solomon, the son of David, builded; 4 It shall not be to you no more to take it upon (your) shoulders; and now serveth to our Lord, and do ye (the) care of that folk of Israel, of the part after towns, and their lineages, 5 after (or according to) the writing of David, king of Israel, and after the great worshipful doing of Solomon, his son, in all the temple, and after your little fathers part of (the) princehood of them, that stand in the sight of the brethren of the sons of Israel. 6 Offer ye (the) pask, and maketh ready the sacrifices to your brethren; and do ye after the behest (or the commandment) of the Lord, that is given to Moses. 7 And Josiah gave to the folk that was found there, sheep, of lambs, and of kids, and of she-goats, thirty thousand; calves, three thousand. 8 These gifts be given (out) of the king’s own things, after the behest (or the commandment) of the Lord to the people, and to (the) priests, into (the) pask; sheep in number two thousand, and calves an hundred. 9 And Jeconiah, and Samaeas, and Nathanael, his brother, and Sabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, gave into (the) pask, five thousand sheep, and five hundred calves. 10 And when these things were nobly done, the priests and deacons [or Levites] stood, having therf loaves by lineages. 11 And after the parts of the princehood of (the) fathers, they offered to the Lord in the sight of the people, after those things that be written in the book of Moses. [And after the parts of the princehood of fathers in the sight of the people they offered to the Lord, after those things that in the book of Moses be written.] 12 And they roasted the pask with fire, as it behooved; and they soddened hosts in seething vessels and in pots, with well-willing. 13 And they brought it to all that there were of the folk; and after these things they made ready to (or for) themselves and to (or for) (the) priests. 14 Forsooth the priests offered inner fatness [or tallow], unto the hour was ended; and (the) deacons prepared to (or for) themselves [or and Levites made ready to themselves], and to (or for) their brethren, and to (or) the sons of Aaron. 15 And men sacrificing [or the sacrificers] offered their daughters, after the order and the behests (or the commands) of David; and Asaph, and Zechariah, and Eddinous, that was of the king; 16 and the porters by all the gates offered, so that none passed his gate. Forsooth their brethren prepared to (or made ready for) them. 17 And so those things, that pertained to the sacrifice of the Lord, be ended. In that day they did (the) pask, 18 and offered hosts upon the sacrifice of the Lord, after the behest (or the command) of king Josiah. 19 And the sons of Israel, that were found present, did in that time (the) pask, and the feast day of therf loaves by seven days. 20 And there was not solemnized such a pask in Israel, from the times of Samuel, the prophet. 21 And all the kings of Israel hallowed not such a pask, as did Josiah, and the priests, and deacons [or Levites], and (the) Jews, and all Israel, that were found in the commemoration, or mind-making (or memory-making), at Jerusalem. 22 In the eighteenth year, Josiah reigning, this pask was hallowed. [The eighteenth year, reigning Josiah, is hallowed pask.] 23 And the works of Josiah be made right in the sight of the Lord, in (or with) (a) full dreading heart; 24 and those things forsooth that were about him be written, in the rather times of them that sinned, and the which were unreligious against the Lord, before, or more than, all heathen folk, and the which sinners sought not the words of the Lord upon Israel. 25 And after all this deed (or all these deeds) of Josiah, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, went up, coming to cast away in Carchemish upon Euphrates; and Josiah went into (the) meeting to (or of) him. 26 And the king of Egypt sent to Josiah, saying, What is to me and to thee, king of Judea? 27 I am not sent of (or from) the Lord (against thee), upon Euphrates forsooth is my battle; hastily therefore go down. 28 And Josiah was not turned again (or did not turn back) upon the chariot, but he endeavoured himself to overcome Pharaoh [or but (he) enforced to overcome him], not taking heed to the word of the prophet (Jeremiah), from the mouth of the Lord; 29 but he set to him battle in the field of Megiddo; and (the) princes came down to (fight) king Josiah. 30 And then the king said to his children, or (to his) servants, Moveth me away from the battle; forsooth I am greatly made sick (or very weak). And anon (or at once) his children (or his servants) moved him away from the battle array. 31 And he went up upon his secondary chariot; and coming to Jerusalem, he died, and was buried in his father’s sepulchre. 32 And in all Judah (or in all Jewry) they bewailed Josiah, and they that before-set with wives, wailed him unto this day; and this is granted to be done (for)evermore in all the kindred of Israel. 33 These things forsooth be written in the book of (the) stories of (the) kings of Judah, and the glory of Josiah, and his understanding in the law of God, by all (the) deeds of the doing of him; for evenly those were done of (or by) him, and the which be not written in the book of (the) kings of Israel and of Judah. [These things forsooth be before-written in the book of stories of kings of Judah, and into all jests (or noteworthy actions), the deeds of Josiah, the glory of him, and his understanding in the law of God; for evenly be done of him, and those things that be not written in the book of kings of Israel and of Judah.] 34 And they that were of the kindred took Joachaz, the son of Josiah, and set him (as) king for Josiah, his father, when he was of three and thirty years (old). 35 And he reigned upon Israel three months; and then the king of Egypt put him away, (so) that he reigned not in Jerusalem. 36 And he polled (or extorted by taxation) the folk of (or for) an hundred talents of silver, and of (or for) a talent of gold. 37 And the king of Egypt set Joakim, his brother, king of Judea and of Jerusalem; 38 and he bound the master judges of Joakim, and taking Zarius, his brother, he brought him again to (or out of) Egypt. 39 Joakim was of five and twenty years, when he reigned in the land of Judah and of Jerusalem; and he did evil things in the sight of the Lord. [Joakim was of five and twenty years, when he reigned in the land of Judah and of Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.] 40 After this forsooth Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, went up, and binding Joakim in a strong bond, brought him into Babylon; 41 and Nebuchadnezzar took and brought the holy vessels of God, and (made) sacred (or consecrated) those in his temple in Babylon. 42 Forsooth of his uncleanness and unreligiosity it is written in the book of the times of (the) kings. 43 And Joakim, his son, reigned for him; when forsooth he was ordained king, he was of eight(een) years (old). 44 Forsooth he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and did evil in (the) sight of the Lord. 45 And after a year Nebuchadnezzar sent (for), and brought him over into Babylon, together with the sacred vessels of the Lord. 46 And he set Zedekiah king of Judah and of Jerusalem, when he was of one and twenty years (old). Forsooth he reigned eleven years; 47 and he did evil in (the) sight of the Lord, and was not adread of the words that be said of Jeremy (or by Jeremiah), the prophet, from the mouth of Lord.[;] 48 And he adjured, or charged by oath, of (or by) king Nebuchadnezzar, forsworn went away, and his noll made hard, he over-passed the lawful things of the Lord God of Israel. [and adjured of king Nebuchadnezzar, forsworn went away, and with his hardened knoll, and with his heart trespassed the lawful things of the Lord God of Israel.] 49 And the dukes of the Lord’s people bare them(selves) wickedly many things, and they did unpiously over all the wickednesses of (the) Gentiles; and they defouled (or defiled) the temple of the Lord, that was holy in Jerusalem. [And the dukes of the people of the Lord many things wickedly bare, and unpiously did over all the uncleannesses of Gentiles; and they defouled the temple of the Lord, that was holy in Jerusalem.] 50 And (the) God of their fathers sent by his angel to again-call them, for the which thing he spared to them, and to their tabernacles, [or and to their tabernacle], (or and also his tabernacle). 51 They forsooth scorned in their corners, and that day that the Lord spake, they were bobbing his prophets. 52 The which Lord is stirred to wrath upon his folk, for their irreligiosity. And the kings of (the) Chaldeans commanded, and went up, 53 (and) they slew the young men of them with (the) sword, about [or in the environ of] the holy temple of them; and they spared not to young man, nor to maiden, nor to old man, and to full waxen man (or to fully grown man); but also all they be taken into the hands of them; 54 and they took all the sacred vessels of the Lord, and the king’s coffers, and brought those into Babylon. 55 And they burned up the house of the Lord, and destroyed the walls of Jerusalem, and they burned (up) his (or its) towers with fire. 56 And they wasted all the worshipful things, and brought them to nought; and they brought the people left of (or by) the sword into Babylon. 57 And they were his thralls, unto the time that (the) Persians reigned, in the fulfilling of the word of the Lord, in the mouth of Jeremy; 58 till that the land would do benignly their sabbaths, he sabbatized all the time of their forsaking [or all the time of their forsaking he sabbatized], in the applying of seventy years.

2 राजा 23Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) मानिसहरू विधि-विधान सुन्दछन् 23 राजा योशियाहले यहूदा यरूशलेमका सबै अगुवाहरूलाई आउनु अनि उनीहरूसँग भेट गर्नु भनी बताए। 2 तब राजा माथि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए। यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरू तथा यरूशलेममा बस्ने मानिसहरू उनीसँगै गए। पूजाहारीहरू, अगमवक्ताहरू अनि सबै मानिसहरू तल्लो तहदेखि माथिल्लो तहसम्मका उनीसँग गए। तब उनले करारको पुस्तक पढे। यो व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक थियो जो मन्दिरमा पाइएको थियो। योशियाहले पुस्तक पढे जसले गर्दा अरू सबै मानिसहरूले सुन्न सकून्। 3 राजा खाँबोको छेउमा उभिएर अनि परमप्रभुसित करार गरे। उनले परमप्रभुलाई अनुशरण गर्ने अनि उहाँका आदेशहरू, नियमहरू तथा उहाँका विधिहरू पालनगर्ने वचन दिए। उनले यो सब आत्मा र हृदयका साथ गर्ने वचन दिए। उनले यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका वचन पालन गर्ने वचन दिए। सबै मानिसहरू राजाले गरेको करारलाई समर्थन गरेको देखाउन उभिए। 4 तब राजाले प्रधान पूजाहारी हिल्कियाह, अरू पूजाहारीहरू तथा द्वारपालकहरूलाई बाल देवता, अशेरा देवी तथा आकाशका ताराहरूको सम्मानका लागि बनाइएका थाल र चीजहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट बाहिर निकाल्ने आदेश दिए। त्यसपछि योशियाहले ती कुराहरूलाई यरूशलेमबाहिर किद्रोन खोल्साको खेतमा जलाए। तब तिनीहरूले खरानी बेतेलमा लगे। 5 यहूदाका राजाहरूले साधारण मानिसहरूलाई पूजाहारीको रूपमा सेवा गर्नका लागि नियुक्ति गरे। यी मानिसहरू हारूनका सन्तानहरू थिएन। झूटा पुरोहितहरूले यहूदाका प्रत्येक शहरहरू अनि यरूशलेमका वरिपरिका सबै शहरहरूका अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा धूपबत्ती बाले। तिनीहरू बाल देवता, सूर्य, चन्द्र, नक्षत्रको पूजा र आकाशका तारा-मण्डलहरूलाई धूपबत्ती बाल्ने गर्दथे। तर योशियाहले ती झूटा पूजाहारीहरूलाई रोके। 6 योशियाहले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट अश्तारोत देवीको खाँबो हटाए। उनले अश्तारोत खाँबोलाई किद्रोन उपत्यकामा शहर बाहिर लगे अनि त्यसलाई त्यहाँ जलाए। तब उनले डढेको भागलाई धूलो बनाए अनि साधारण मानिसहरूको चिहानमाथि छर्किदिए। 7 तब राजा योशियाहले पुरूषगामीहरूको घर भत्काए जो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा थियो। आइमाईहरू पनि ती घरहरू प्रयोग गर्दथे अनि असत्य देवी अश्तारोतको सम्मान गर्नका लागि पालको छानो बनाउँने गर्दथे। 8-9 योशियाहले यहूदाका शहरहरूबाट सबै पूजाहारीहरूलाई निकाले। उसले ती पूजाहारीहरूले धूप जलाउने उच्च ठाउँहरू गेबादेखि बेर्शेवा सम्मलाई अपवित्र तुल्याइदिए। योशियाहले यहोशूको देब्रेपट्टिको द्वार भएको उच्च ठाउँ भत्काइदिए। (यहोशू त्यस शहरको शासक थिए।) तर पूजारी जो उच्च ठाउँहरूमा बलि चढाउने गर्दथे तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको वेदीमा आएनन्। त्यसको सट्टामा तिनीहरूले सधारण मानिसहरूसँग अखमीरे रोटी खाए। 10 तोपेत हिन्नोमको छोराको उपत्यकामा एउटा ठाउँ थियो जहाँ मानिसहरू आफ्ना नानीहरू मार्ने गर्दथे अनि असत्य देवता मोलेकको सम्मानमा तिनीहरूलाई बलि चडाउँने गर्दथे। योशियाहले त्यो ठाउँ भत्काए जसले गर्दा मानिसहरूले त्यो ठाउँ फेरी प्रयोग गर्न नसकुन्। 11 बितेको समयमा यहूदाका राजाहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको द्वारमा केही घोडा अनि रथहरू राखेका थिए। यो नातान मेलेक नाउँ भएका एक जना महत्वपूर्ण अधिकारीको कोठाको छेऊमा थियो। घोडा अनि रथहरू सूर्य देवताको सम्मानका लागि थिए योशियाहले घोडाहरू हटाए अनि रथहरू जलाए। 12 बितेको समयमा यहूदाका राजाहरूले आहाजको महलको छाना माथि वेदीहरू बनाएका थिए। राजा मनश्शेले पनि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको दुइवटा आँगनहरूमा वेदीहरू बनाएका थिए। योशियाहले ती सबै वेदीहरू भत्काए र भाँचिएका टुक्राहरू किद्रोन बेंसीमा फ्याँकिदिए। 13 बितेको समयमा राजा सुलेमानले यरूशलेम नजिक विध्वंसक पहाडमाथि केही अग्ला ठाउँहरू बनाएका थिए। अग्ला ठाउँहरू त्यस पहाडको दक्षिणतिर थिए। राजा सुलेमानले सीदोनका मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने डरलाग्दो चीज अश्तोरोतको सम्मानमा ती पूजा स्थलहरू मध्ये एउटा बनाए। राजा सुलेमानले मोआबका मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने डरलाग्दो चीज कमोशको सम्मानमा पनि एउटा वेदी बनाए। र राजा सुलेमानले अम्मोनीहरू मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने डरलाग्दो चीज मिल्कोमको सम्मानमा पनि एउटा अग्लो ठाउँ बनाए। तर राजा योशियाहले ती सबै पूजाका स्थलहरू अपवित्र बनाइदिए। 14 राजा योशियाहले सबै स्मृति-स्तम्भहरू अनि अश्तारोत खाँबोहरू भाँचे। तब उनले मारेका मानिसहरूका हाडहरू त्यस ठाउँमा छरे। 15 योशियाहले बेतेलमा अग्लो ठाउँ र वेदी पनि भत्काए। नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो वेदी बनाएका थिए। यारोबामले इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाएका थिए। योशियाहले अग्लो ठाउँ भत्काएर जलाईदिए। योशियाहले ढुङ्गाहरूका वेदी टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारे। त्यसपछि उनले त्यसलाई धूलो पिठो पारे। र उनले अशेरा खाँबोलाई जलाए। 16 योशियाहले चारैतिर हेरे र उसले पहाडमा चिहानहरू देखे। उनले मानिसहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूले चिहानहरूबाट हाड निकाले। तब उनले वेदीमाथि हाड जलाए। यसरी योशियाहले वेदीलाई अपवित्र तुल्याए। यो घटना परमेश्वरका जनले भनेको जस्तै भयो। परमेश्वरका जनले यो कुराहरू घोषणा गरे जब यारोबाम वेदीको छेउमा उभिएका थिए। त्यसपछि योशियाहले चारैतिर हेरे र उसले परमप्रभुको मानिसको चिहान देखे। 17 योशियाहले भने, “मैले देखेको त्यो स्मारक के हो?” त्यस शहरका मानिसहरूले उनलाई भने, “यो परमेश्वरका जनको चिहान हो जो यहूदाबाट आएका थिए। यी परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूले यी कुराहरूको विषयमा अगमवाणी गरेका थिए जो तिमीले बेतेलको वेदीमा गरेका छौ।” 18 योशियाहले भने, “परमेश्वरको जनलाई एक्लै छोडिदेऊ। उनका हड्डीहरू ननिकाल।” यसर्थ तिनीहरूले उनका हड्डीहरू र सामरियाबाट आएका अगमवक्ताहरूका हड्डीहरूलाई छोडिदिए। 19 योशियाहले सामरीयाका शहरहरूमा भएका अग्ला ठाउँहरूका मन्दिरहरू पनि सबै भत्काए। इस्राएलका राजाहरूले ती मन्दिरहरू बनाएका थिए र त्यसले परमप्रभुलाई रीस उठायो। योशियाहले बेतेलमा पूजा स्थलहरू भत्काए जस्तै ती मन्दिरहरू भत्काएका थिए। 20 योशियाहले अग्ला ठाउँहरूका सबै पूजाहारीहरूलाई मारे जो सामरीयामा थिए। उनले ती वेदीहरूमा भएका पूजाहारीहरूलाई मारे। यस प्रकार पूजाका ती स्थलहरू शेष पारे। त्यसपछि उनी यरूशलेम फर्किए। यहूदाका मानिसहरू निस्तार पर्व मनाउँछन् 21 तब राजा योशियाहले सबै मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए। उनले भने, “तिमीहरूको परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका लागि निस्तार पर्व मनाऊ। करारको पुस्तकमा लेखिए जस्तै गर।” 22 मानिसहरूले निस्तार चाड यसरी मनाएका थिएनन् जुन दिनदेखि न्यायकर्ताहरूले इस्राएलमा शासन गर्न थाले। इस्राएलका कुनै राजा अथवा यहूदाका कुनै पनि राजाले निस्तार चाड यसरी भब्य रूपमा मनाएका थिएनन्। 23 तिनीहरू योशियाह राजा हुँदा अठाह्रौं बर्षमा यो निस्तार चाड परमेश्वरका लागि मनाए। 24 योशियाहले धामी झाँक्री, जादूगर, गृह देवता, देवमूर्तिहरू अनि यहूदा तथा यरूशलेममा मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने सबै डरलाग्दा चीजहरू नाश पारे। योशियाहले यस्तो काम हिल्कियाह पूजाहारीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पाइऐको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको विधि पालन गर्नका लागि गरे। 25 योशियाह जस्ता राजा पहिले कहिले थिएनन् योशियाह आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण हृदय, आफ्नो सबै आत्मा तथा आफ्नो सबैशक्तिका साथ परमप्रभु तिर फर्के। कुनै राजाले मोशाको व्यवस्थाहरू योशियाह जस्तै अनुशरण गरेनन्। अनि त्यस समय देखि योशियाह जस्ता कुनै राजा भएनन्। 26 तर परमप्रभु यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँग रिसाउन छोड्नु भएन। मनश्शेले गरेको सबै कामहरूका लागि परमप्रभु अझै तिनीहरूसँग रिसाउनुभएको थियो। 27 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई ठाउँ छोड्न बाध्य (जोड) गराएँ। म यहूदासँग पनि त्यस्तै गर्नेछु। म यहूदालाई मेरो दृष्टिबाट निकालि दिनेछु म यरूशलेमलाई त्याग्नेछु। हो, मैले त्यस शहरलाई रोजें। म यरूशलेममा मन्दिरको बारेमा कुरा गर्दै थिएँ जब मैले भनें, ‘मेरो नाउँ त्यहाँ हुनेछ।’ तर यस मन्दिरलाई म त्यागिदिनेछु।” 28 सबै अरू कामहरू जो योशियाहले गरे, यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन्। योशियाहको मृत्यु 29 योशियाहको शासनकालमा मिश्रका राजा फिरऊन-नेकोले अश्शूरका राजाको विरूद्धमा युद्ध गर्न यूफ्रेटिस नदीमा गए। योशियाह नेकोसँग भेट गर्न मगिद्दोया गए। फिरऊनले योशियाहलाई देखे र उनलाई मारे। 30 योशियाहका अधिकारीहरूले उनको शरीर रथमा राखे अनि उनलाई मगिद्दोबाट यरूशलेम ल्याए। तिनीहरूले योशियाहलाई उनको आफ्नो चिहानमा गाडे। तब साधारण मानिसहरूले योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाजलाई लगे अनि राज्यभिषेक गरे। तिनीहरूले यहोआहाजलाई नयाँ राजा बनाए। यहोआहाज यहूदाका राजा हुन्छन् 31 यहोआहाज तेईस बर्षका थिए जब उनी राजा भए। उनले यरूशलेममा तीन महीना शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ हमूतल थियो, उनी लिब्नाका यिर्मयाहकी छोरी थिइन्। 32 यहोआहाजले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले गलत भन्नुभएको थियो। यहोआहाजले ती नै कामहरू गरे जो उनका पुर्खाहरूले गरेका थिए। 33 फिरऊन-नेकोले यहोआहाजलाई हमात देशको रिब्लामा बन्दी बनाए। त्यस कारण यहोआहाजले यरूशलेममा शासन गर्न पाएनन्। फिरऊन नेकोले यहूदालाई 100 तोडा चाँदी अनि 10 तोडा सुन दिनु वाध्य गरए। 34 फिरऊन-नेकोले योशियाहाका छोरा एल्याकीमलाई नयाँ राजा बनाए। एल्याकीमले आफ्ना पिता योशियाहको पद ग्रहण गरे। फिरऊन-नेकोले एल्याकीमको नाउँ बद्ली गरेर यहोयाकीम बनाए। अनि फिरऊन-नेकोले यहोआहाजलाई मिश्रबाट टाढा लगे। यहोआहाज मिश्रमा मरे। 35 यहोयाकीमले फिरऊनलाई चाँदी र सुन दिए। तर यहोयाकीमले साधारण मानिसहरूलाई कर तिर्न लगाए अनि त्यो धनको उपयोग फिरऊन-नेकोलाई दिएर गरे। यस कारण प्रत्येक मानिसले आफ्नो भागको चाँदी र सुन तिर्यो। अनि राजा यहोयाकीमले रूपियाँ फिरऊन-नेकोलाई दिए। 36 यहोयाकीम 25 बर्षका थिए जब उनी राजा भए। उनले यरूशलेममा 11 बर्ष शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ जबीदा थियो, तिनी रूमाका पदायाहकी छोरी थिइन्। 37 यहोयाकिमले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले भूल भन्नुभएको थियो। यहोयाकीमले त्यही काम गरे जो उनका पुर्खाहरूले गरेका थिए।
