23 In the seventh year Jehoiada showed his strength. He made a covenant with the commanders of units of a hundred: Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zikri. 2 They went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites and the heads of Israelite families from all the towns. When they came to Jerusalem, 3 the whole assembly made a covenant with the king at the temple of God. Jehoiada said to them, “The king’s son shall reign, as the Lord promised concerning the descendants of David. 4 Now this is what you are to do: A third of you priests and Levites who are going on duty on the Sabbath are to keep watch at the doors, 5 a third of you at the royal palace and a third at the Foundation Gate, and all the others are to be in the courtyards of the temple of the Lord. 6 No one is to enter the temple of the Lord except the priests and Levites on duty; they may enter because they are consecrated, but all the others are to observe the Lord’s command not to enter.[a] 7 The Levites are to station themselves around the king, each with weapon in hand. Anyone who enters the temple is to be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes.” 8 The Levites and all the men of Judah did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one took his men—those who were going on duty on the Sabbath and those who were going off duty—for Jehoiada the priest had not released any of the divisions. 9 Then he gave the commanders of units of a hundred the spears and the large and small shields that had belonged to King David and that were in the temple of God. 10 He stationed all the men, each with his weapon in his hand, around the king—near the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple. 11 Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him; they presented him with a copy of the covenant and proclaimed him king. They anointed him and shouted, “Long live the king!” 12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and cheering the king, she went to them at the temple of the Lord. 13 She looked, and there was the king, standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officers and the trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and musicians with their instruments were leading the praises. Then Athaliah tore her robes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!” 14 Jehoiada the priest sent out the commanders of units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops, and said to them: “Bring her out between the ranks[b] and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not put her to death at the temple of the Lord.” 15 So they seized her as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate on the palace grounds, and there they put her to death. 16 Jehoiada then made a covenant that he, the people and the king[c] would be the Lord’s people. 17 All the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. 18 Then Jehoiada placed the oversight of the temple of the Lord in the hands of the Levitical priests, to whom David had made assignments in the temple, to present the burnt offerings of the Lord as written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and singing, as David had ordered. 19 He also stationed gatekeepers at the gates of the Lord’s temple so that no one who was in any way unclean might enter. 20 He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land and brought the king down from the temple of the Lord. They went into the palace through the Upper Gate and seated the king on the royal throne. 21 All the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was calm, because Athaliah had been slain with the sword. 24 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba. 2 Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the years of Jehoiada the priest. 3 Jehoiada chose two wives for him, and he had sons and daughters. 4 Some time later Joash decided to restore the temple of the Lord. 5 He called together the priests and Levites and said to them, “Go to the towns of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the temple of your God. Do it now.” But the Levites did not act at once. 6 Therefore the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, “Why haven’t you required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the Lord and by the assembly of Israel for the tent of the covenant law?” 7 Now the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the temple of God and had used even its sacred objects for the Baals. 8 At the king’s command, a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the temple of the Lord. 9 A proclamation was then issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they should bring to the Lord the tax that Moses the servant of God had required of Israel in the wilderness. 10 All the officials and all the people brought their contributions gladly, dropping them into the chest until it was full. 11 Whenever the chest was brought in by the Levites to the king’s officials and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal secretary and the officer of the chief priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this regularly and collected a great amount of money. 12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who carried out the work required for the temple of the Lord. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the Lord’s temple, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the temple. 13 The men in charge of the work were diligent, and the repairs progressed under them. They rebuilt the temple of God according to its original design and reinforced it. 14 When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and with it were made articles for the Lord’s temple: articles for the service and for the burnt offerings, and also dishes and other objects of gold and silver. As long as Jehoiada lived, burnt offerings were presented continually in the temple of the Lord. 15 Now Jehoiada was old and full of years, and he died at the age of a hundred and thirty. 16 He was buried with the kings in the City of David, because of the good he had done in Israel for God and his temple. 17 After the death of Jehoiada, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them. 18 They abandoned the temple of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and worshiped Asherah poles and idols. Because of their guilt, God’s anger came on Judah and Jerusalem. 19 Although the Lord sent prophets to the people to bring them back to him, and though they testified against them, they would not listen. 20 Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you disobey the Lord’s commands? You will not prosper. Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’” 21 But they plotted against him, and by order of the king they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple. 22 King Joash did not remember the kindness Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had shown him but killed his son, who said as he lay dying, “May the Lord see this and call you to account.” 23 At the turn of the year,[d] the army of Aram marched against Joash; it invaded Judah and Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people. They sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus. 24 Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the Lord delivered into their hands a much larger army. Because Judah had forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, judgment was executed on Joash. 25 When the Arameans withdrew, they left Joash severely wounded. His officials conspired against him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him in his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings. 26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad,[e] son of Shimeath an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith[f] a Moabite woman. 27 The account of his sons, the many prophecies about him, and the record of the restoration of the temple of God are written in the annotations on the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son succeeded him as king. 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other. 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’[c] 26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. 27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

2 इतिहास 24Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) योआशले फेरि मन्दिर निर्माण गर्छन् 24 योआश सात बर्ष उमेरका थिए जब तिनी राजा भए। तिनले यरूशलेममा चालीस बर्ष शासन गरे। तिनकी आमाको नाउँ सिब्या थियो। सिब्या बेर्शेबा शहरकी थिइन्। 2 योआशले पूजाहारी यहोयादा बाँचुन्जेल परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने उचित कार्य गरे। 3 यहोयादाले योआशका निम्ति दुइवटी पत्नीहरू चुने। योआशका छोरा-छोरीहरू भए। 4 तब, पछि योआशले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर फेरि निर्माण गर्ने निर्णय गरे। 5 योआशले पूजाहारी अनि लेवीहरूलाई साथ बोलाए। तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यहूदा शहरमा जाऊ अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले प्रति बर्ष तिर्ने धन सँग्रह गर। त्यो धन तिम्रो परमेश्वरको मन्दिर फेरि निर्माण गर्नमा प्रयोग गर। चाँडो गर अनि यो काम गर।” तर लेवीहरूले हतार गरेनन्। 6 यसर्थ राजा योआशले मुख्य पूजाहारी यहोयादालाई बोलाए। राजाले भने, “यहोयादा, तिमीले किन लेवीहरूलाई यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमबाट तिरो-धन ल्याउन लगाएनौं? परमप्रभुको सेवक मोशा अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले पवित्र पाल निर्माण गर्नमा त्यो तिरो-धन प्रयोग गरेका थिए।” 7 विगत कालमा, अतल्याहका छोराहरू जबरजस्ती परमेश्वरको मन्दिर भित्र पसेका थिए। तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा भएका पवित्र चीजहरू आफ्ना बाल देवताहरूको पूजा गर्नमा प्रयोग गरेका थिए। अतल्याह अत्यन्त दुष्ट स्त्री थिइन्। 8 राजा योआशले एउटा सन्दूक बनाउने अनि त्यसलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको द्वारको बाहिर राख्ने आदेश गरे। 9 तब लेवीहरूले यहूदा अनि यरूशलेममा एक घोषणा गरे। तिनीहरू रोए मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुका निम्ति तिरो-धन ल्याउनु भने। परमेश्वरका सेवक मोशाले मरू-भूमिमा भएको समयमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूबाट जो तिरो-धन मागेका थिए यो धन त्यति नै हो। 10 समस्त प्रमुखहरू अनि मानिसहरू खुशी थिए। तिनीहरूले आफ्ना धन ल्याए अनि त्यसलाई सन्दूकमा हाले। तिनीहरूले तबसम्म लगातार दिइरहे जब सम्म सन्दूक भरी भएन। 11 तब लेवीहरूले त्यो सन्दूक राज-अधिकारीहरू कहाँ लानु पर्यो। तिनीहरूले सन्दूक धनले परिपूर्ण भएको देखे। राजाका सचिव अनि मुख्य पूजाहारीका अधिकारी आए अनि सन्दूकबाट धन निकालेर लगे। तब तिनीहरूले त्यो सन्दूकलाई फेरि त्यसकै स्थानमा फर्काई लगे। तिनीहरूले यो काम घरि-घरि गरे अनि प्रचुर धन सँग्रह गरे। 12 तब राजा योआश अनि यहोयादाले त्यो धन ती मानिसहरूलाई दिए जो परमप्रभुको मनिदरमा काम गर्थे। अनि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा काम गर्ने मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर फेरि निर्माण गर्नका निम्ति निपूण काठ खोप्नेहरू अनि सिकर्मीहरूलाई ज्यालमा राखे। तिनीहरूले ती कर्मीहरू पनि ज्यालमा ल्याए जो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरलाई फेरि निर्माण गर्नका निम्ति फलाम अनि काँसाका काम गर्न सिपालु थिए। 13 मानिसहरू जसले कामको निरीक्षण गर्दथे एक्दमै परिश्रमी थिए। परमप्रभुको मन्दिर फेरि निर्माण गर्ने कार्य सफल भयो। तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर पहिलाको जस्तै निर्माण गरे अनि तिनीहरूले यसलाई पहिलाको भन्दा बलियो बनाए। 14 जब कर्मीहरूले काम पूरा गरे तिनीहरूले उब्रिएको धन राजा योआश अनि यहोयादा कहाँ ल्याए। तिनीहरूले त्यो धन परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका निम्ति चीज-बीज बनाउनमा प्रयोग गरे। ती चीज-बीजहरू मन्दिरको सेवामा अनि होम-बलि अर्पण गर्नमा प्रयोग गरिन्थे। तिनीहरूले सुन-चाँदीका कचौरा एवं अन्य चीजहरू पनि बनाए। पूजाहारीहरूले यहोयादा जीवित रहेसम्म प्रतिदिन परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा होमबलि अर्पण गरिरहे। 15 यहोयादा बृद्ध भए। तिनी लामो समयसम्म बाँचे, त्यसपछि तिनको मृत्यु भयो। यहोदा 130 बर्षको बृद्ध हुँदा तिनको मृत्यु भयो। 16 मानिसहरूले यहोयादालाई दाऊदका शहरमा गाडिदिए जहाँ राजाहरूलाई गाडिन्छन्। मानिसहरूले यहोयादालाई त्यहाँ गाडि दिए किनभने तिनले आफ्ना जीवनमा इस्राएलमा परमेश्वर अनि परमेश्वरका मन्दिरका निम्ति धेरै असल कार्य गरे। 17 यहोयादाको मृत्यु पछि, यहूदाका प्रमुखहरू आए अनि राजा योआश समक्ष झुके। राजाले ती प्रमुखहरूका कुरा सुने। 18 राजा अनि ती अगुवाहरूले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूले आराधना गर्ने परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको मन्दिरलाई परित्याग गरे। तिनीहरूले अशेरा खामा अनि अन्य मूर्तिहरूका पूजा गर्न शुरू गरे। परमेश्वर यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूसित क्रोधित हुनु भयो किनभने राजा अनि अगुवाहरू दोषी थिए। 19 परमेश्वरले मानिसहरू कहाँ तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभु तिर फर्काइ ल्याउन भनी अगमवक्ताहरू पठाउनु भयो। अगमवक्ताहरूले मानिसहरूलाई चेताउनी दिए। तर मानिसहरूले सुन्न अस्वीकार गरे। 20 परमेश्वरको आत्मा जकर्याह माथि उत्रिनुभयो। जकर्याहका पिता पूजाहारी यहोयादा थिए। जकर्याह मानिसहरूका सामुन्ने उभिए अनि भने, “परमेश्वरले जे भन्नु हुन्छ त्यो यो होः ‘किन तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको आदेशहरूको पालन गर्न अस्वीकार गर्छौ? तिमीहरू सफल हुने छैनौं। तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई त्याग्यौ यसकारण परमप्रभुले पनि तिमीहरूलाई त्याग्नु भएको छ।’” 21 तर मानिसहरूले जकर्याहको विरूद्ध षड्यन्त्र रचे। राजाले जकर्याहलाई मार्न भनी मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए, यसर्थ तिनको मृत्यु नहुन्जेल मानिसहरूले तिनलाई ढुङ्गा हाने। मानिसहरूले यो काम मन्दिरको आँगनमा गरे। 22 राजा योआशले तिनी प्रति यहोयादाले दर्शाएको दया सम्झेनन्। यहोयादा जकर्याहका पिता थिए। तर योआशले यहोयादाका छोरा जकर्याहलाई मारिदिए। जकर्याहको मृत्यु हुनु अघि तिनले भने, “परमप्रभुले देख्नु हुनेछ जो तिमीहरूले गर्दै छौ अनि तिमीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनु हुनेछ।” 23 बर्षको अन्ततिर, अरामी सेना योआशको विरूद्ध आए। तिनीहरूले यहूदा अनि यरूशलेम माथि आक्रमण गरे अनि मानिसका सबै प्रमुखहरूलाई मारिदिए। तिनीहरूले सबै मूल्यवान बस्तुहरू दमीशकका राजा कहाँ पठाए। 24 अरामी सेना मानिसहरूको सानो दलको रूपमा आएका थिए तर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई यहूदाका अति विशाल सेनालाई परास्त पार्न दिनु भयो। परमप्रभुले यसो गर्नु भयो। किनभने यहूदाका मानिसहरूले, आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले अनुशरण गरेका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई त्याग गरे। यसरी योआश दण्डित भए। 25 जब अरामीहरूले योआशलाई छाडे तब तिनी नराम्रो प्रकारले घाइते भएका थिए। योआशका आफ्नै सेवकहरूले तिनको विरूद्ध षड्यन्त्र रचे। तिनीहरूले यसो गरे किनभने योआशले पूजाहारी यहोयादाका छोरा जकर्याहलाई मारेका थिए। सेवकहरूले योआशलाई तिनको आफ्नै ओछ्यानमा मारिदिए। योआशको मृत्यु भएपछि मानिसहरूले तिनलाई दाऊदको शहरमा गाडीदिए। तर तिनीहरूले तिनलाई त्यस स्थानमा गाडेनन् जहाँ राजाहरूलाई गाडिन्छ। 26 ती यिनै सेवकहरू हुन् जसले योआशको विरूद्ध षड्यन्त्र रचेका थिएः जाबाद अनि यहोजाबाद। जाबादकी आमाको नाउँ शिमात थियो। शिमात अम्मोनकी थिइन्। अनि यहोजाबादकी आमाको नाउँ शिम्रित थियो। शिम्रित मोआबकी थिइन्। 27 योआशका छोराहरूको विषयमा कथा, तिनी विरूद्धको महान अगमवाणीहरू अनि तिनले कसरी फेरि परमेश्वरको मन्दिर निर्माण गरे, यी सबै राजाहरू सम्बन्धी व्याख्या नाउँको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन्। अमस्याह तिनका पछि नयाँ राजा भए। अमस्याह योआशका छोरा थिए।
