2 Chronicles 24New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE) Chapter 24 The Temple Restored. 1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, from Beer-sheba. 2 Joash did what was right in the Lord’s sight as long as Jehoiada the priest lived. 3 Jehoiada provided him with two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters. 4 After some time, Joash decided to restore the house of the Lord. 5 He gathered together the priests and Levites and said to them: “Go out to all the cities of Judah and gather money from all Israel that you may repair the house of your God over the years. You must hurry this project.” But the Levites did not. 6 Then the king summoned Jehoiada, who was in charge, and said to him: “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax levied by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?” 7 For the wicked Athaliah and her sons had damaged the house of God and had even turned over to the Baals the holy things of the Lord’s house. 8 At the king’s command, therefore, they made a chest, which they put outside the gate of the Lord’s house. 9 They had it proclaimed throughout Judah and Jerusalem that the tax which Moses, the servant of God, had imposed on Israel in the wilderness should be brought to the Lord. 10 All the princes and the people rejoiced; they brought what was asked and cast it into the chest until it was filled. 11 Whenever the chest was brought to the royal officials by the Levites and they noticed that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and an overseer for the chief priest would come up, empty the chest, and then take it back and return it to its place. This they did day after day until they had collected a large sum of money. 12 Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to the workers in charge of the labor on the Lord’s house, who hired masons and carpenters to restore the Lord’s house, and also iron- and bronze-smiths to repair it. 13 The workers labored, and the task of restoration progressed under their hands. They restored the house of God according to its original form, and reinforced it. 14 After they had finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and to Jehoiada, who had it made into utensils for the house of the Lord, utensils for the service and the burnt offerings, and basins and other gold and silver utensils. They sacrificed burnt offerings in the Lord’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada. 15 Jehoiada grew old, full of years, and died; he was a hundred and thirty years old. 16 They buried him in the City of David with the kings, because of the good he had done in Israel, especially for God and his house. Joash’s Apostasy. 17 After the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and paid homage to the king; then the king listened to them. 18 They abandoned the house of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and began to serve the asherahs and the idols; and because of this crime of theirs, wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem. 19 Although prophets were sent to them to turn them back to the Lord and to warn them, the people would not listen. 20 Then the spirit of God clothed Zechariah, son of Jehoiada the priest. He took his stand above the people and said to them: “Thus says God, Why are you transgressing the Lord’s commands, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have abandoned the Lord, he has abandoned you.” 21 But they conspired against him, and at the king’s command they stoned him in the court of the house of the Lord. 22 Thus King Joash was unmindful of the devotion shown him by Jehoiada, Zechariah’s father, and killed the son. As he was dying, he said, “May the Lord see and avenge.” Joash Punished. 23 At the turn of the year a force of Arameans came up against Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem, killed all the princes of the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus. 24 Though the Aramean force was small, the Lord handed over a very large force into their power, because Judah had abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors. So judgment was meted out to Joash. 25 After the Arameans had departed from him, abandoning him to his many injuries, his servants conspired against him because of the murder of the son of Jehoiada the priest. They killed him on his sickbed. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings. 26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad, son of Shimeath from Ammon, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith from Moab. 27 An account of his sons, the great tribute imposed on him, and his rebuilding of the house of God is written in the midrash of the book of the kings. His son Amaziah succeeded him as king.

2 इतिहास 23Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) पूजाहारी यहोयादा अनि राजा योआश 23 छ बर्ष पछि यहोयादले आफ्नो पराक्रम देखाए। तिनले सेना नायकहरूसित सन्धि गरे। ती सेना नायकहरू-यरोहामका छोरा अजर्याह, यहोहानाका छोरा इश्माएल, ओबेदका छोरा अजर्याह, अदायाहका छोरा मासेयाह अनि जिंक्रीका छोरा एलीशापात थिए। 2 तिनीहरू यहूदाका चारैतिर गए अनि यहूदाका सबै शहरहरूबाट लेवीहरूलाई भेला गरे। तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परिवारहरूका प्रमुखहरूलाई पनि भेला गरे। त्यस पछि तिनीहरू यरूशलेम गए। 3 एकसाथ भेला भएका सबै मानिसहरूले राजासित परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा करार बाँधे। यहोयादाले ती मानिसहरूलाई भने, “राजाका छोराले शासन गर्ने छन्। त्यो यही प्रतिज्ञा हो जो परमप्रभुले दाऊदका सन्तानका बारेमा गर्नु भएको थियो। 4 अब तिमीहरूले गर्नु पर्ने यही होः तिमीहरू मध्ये एक तिहाइ पूजाहारी अनि लेवीहरू जो विश्रामको दिनमा काममा जान्छन्, तिनीहरूले द्वारहरूको रक्षा गर्ने छन्। 5 अनि तिमीहरू मध्ये एक-तिहाइ राज महलमा रहने छौ। अनि तिमीहरू मध्ये एक-तिहाइ घडेरी-द्वारमा रहने छौ। तर सबै अन्य मानिसहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको आँगनमा बस्नु पर्ने छ। 6 कुनै पनि मानिसलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिर भित्र आउन नदिनु। केवल पूजाहारी अनि लेवीहरू, जो सेवा गर्छन्, तिनीहरूलाई मन्दिर भित्र आउने अनुमति छ, किनभने तिनीहरू पवित्र छन्। तर अन्य सबै मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुले दिनु भएको काम गर्नु पर्छ। 7 लेवीहरू राजाको समीपमा बस्नु पर्छ। हरेक मानिससँग आफ्नो तरवार हुनु पर्छ। यदि कोही व्यक्ति मन्दिर भित्र पस्ने चेष्टा गर्छ भने त्यस व्यक्तिलाई मारि दिनु। तिनी जहाँ कही गए ता पनि तिमीहरू राजाको साथ रहनु पर्छ।” 8 लेवीहरू अनि यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरूले पूजाहारी यहोयादाले दिएका आदेशहरू पालन गरे। यसकारण प्रत्येक कप्तान र सबै मानिसहरू दिनमा तिनीहरूले काम गर्नु पर्छ कि पर्दैन भने सूचना सुन्न भित्र आए, किनभने पूजाहारी यहोयादले केही पनि तिनीहरूको समूहहरूलाई पदयाच्युत गराएका थिए। 9 पूजाहारी यहोयादाले भाला र ठूला साना दुवै ढालहरू अधिकारीहरूलाई दिए ती राजा दाऊदका थिए। ती हतियारहरू परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा राखिएका थिए। 10 तब यहोयादाले मानिसहरूलाई कहाँ उभिनु पर्ने सो बताए। प्रत्येक मानिसको हातमा आफ्ना हतियार थिए। ती मानिसहरू मन्दिरको दाहिने देखि मन्दिरको देब्रे सम्म उभिएका थिए। तिनीहरू वेदीका अनि मन्दिरको नजिक र राजाका नजिकमा उभिएका थिए। 11 तिनीहरूले राजाका छोरालाई बाहिर ल्याए र तिनलाई मुकुट लगाई दिए। तिनीहरूले नियमका पुस्तकको एक प्रति तिनलाई दिए। तब तिनीहरूले योआशलाई राजा बनाए। यहोयादा अनि तिनका छोराहरूले योआशको अभिषेक गरे। तिनीहरूले भने, “राजा लामो समय सम्म बाँचून्।” 12 अतल्याहले मानिसहरू मन्दिर तर्फ दगुरेका अनि राजाको प्रशंसा गरेको आवाज सुनिन्। तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा मानिसहरू कहाँ आइन्। 13 तिनले हेरिन् अनि राजालाई देखिन्। राजा खम्बाको छेउको अघि उभिरहेका थिए। अधिकारीहरू अनि मानिसहरू जो तुरही बजाउँथे, राजाका छेउमा थिए। देशका मानिसहरू खुशीले तुरही बजाउँदै थिए। गायकहरू सङ्गीतका बाजाहरू बजाउँदै थिए। गायकहरूले प्रशंसा गाउनमा मानिसहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरिरहेका थिए। तब अतल्याहले तिनका वस्त्रहरू च्यातिन् अनि भनिन्, “राजद्रोह! राजद्रोह!” 14 पूजाहारी यहोयादाले सेना नायकहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याए। तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “अतल्याहलाई बाहिर सेनाको माझ लैजाऊ। तिनलाई जोकोहिले पछ्याउँछ त्यसलाई मार्न तिमीहरूको तरवार प्रयोग गर।” तब पूजाहारीले सैनिकहरूलाई चेतावनी दिए, “अतल्याहलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा नमार्नु।” 15 तब मानिसहरूले राजमहलको घोडा-द्वारमा आउँदा तिनलाई पक्रिए जुन चाहिं एउटा राज महलको प्रेवशद्वार हो। तब तिनीहरूले तिनलाई तत्कालै त्यही स्थानमा मारिदिए। 16 तब यहोयादाले सबै मानिसहरू अनि राजासित एक करार बाँधे। तिनीहरू सहमत भए कि तिनीहरू सबै परमप्रभुका मानिस हुनेछन्। 17 सबै मानिसहरू बाल मूर्तिका मन्दिरमा गए अनि त्यसलाई फोडि दिए। तिनीहरूले बाल मन्दिरमा भएका वेदीहरू अनि मूर्तिहरू पनि भत्काइदिए। तिनीहरूले बालका पुरोहित मातानलाई बाल वेदीहरूको सामुन्ने मारे। 18 तब यहोयादाले परमप्रभुको जिम्मामा रहने पूजाहारीहरू चुने। ती पूजाहारीहरू लेवीहरू थिए अनि दाऊदले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जिम्मामा रहने काम दिएका थिए। ती पूजाहारीहरूले मोशाका व्यवस्थाका आदेश अनुसार परमप्रभुलाई होमबलि अर्पण गर्नु पर्ने थियो। तिनीहरूले दाऊदका आदेश अनुसार अति खुशी साथ गाउँदै बलि अर्पण गरे। 19 यहोयादाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको द्वारमा रक्षकहरू राखेका थिए। यसकारण एउटा व्यक्ति जो अशुद्ध थियो भने मन्दिरभित्र पस्न पाउँदैन थियो। 20 यहोयादाले सेनाका सेना-नायकहरू, प्रमुखहरू, मानिसहरूका शासकहरू अनि देशका सबै मानिसहरूलाई आफ्ना साथ लिए। तब यहोयादाले राजालाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बाहिर ल्याए अनि माथिल्लोद्वार भएर तिनीहरू राज भवनमा गए। त्यस स्थानमा तिनीहरूले राजालाई सिंहासनमा बसाए। 21 यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरू अत्यन्त आनन्दित थिए। अनि यरूशलेम शहरमा शान्ति थियो किनभने अतल्याहलाई तरवारद्वारा मारिएको थियो।
