¹In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

¹योआशले येहू इस्राएलका राजा हुँदा सातौं वर्षमा शासन शुरू गरे। योआशले यरूशलेममा 40 वर्ष शासन गरे। योआशकी आमाको नाउँ बेर्शेबाकी सिब्या थियो।

²And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

²योआशले त्यही कार्य गरे जो परमप्रभुले सही भन्नुभएको थियो। योआशले जीवनमा परमप्रभुको आदेश पालनगरे। उनले ती कार्यहरू गरे जो पूजाहारी यहोयादाले उनलाई सिकाए।

³Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

³तर उनले अग्ला ठाउँहरू भत्काएनन् मानिसहरू तब सम्म पनि ती पूजा स्थनहरूमा बलिहरू दिने गर्दथे अनि सुगन्धि धूप जलाउँने गर्दथे।

⁴And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,

⁴[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁵let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

⁵[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁶But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

⁶तर पूजाहारीहरूले मर्मतको काम गरेनन्। योआश राजा भएको 23 औं वर्षमा पूजाहारीहरूले अझै पनि मन्दिरको मर्मत गरेनन्।

⁷Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the [other] priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore take no [more] money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

⁷यसकारण राजा योआशले पूजाहारी यहोयादा अनि अन्य पूजाहारीहरूलाई बोलाए। योआशले यहोयादा र अरू पूजाहारीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले मन्दिरको मर्मत गरेका छैनौ? सेवा गरे वापत मानिसहरूबाट धन लिन बन्द गर। त्यो धन मन्दिरको मर्मतमा खर्च हुनु पर्छ।”

⁸And the priests consented that they should take no [more] money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.

⁸पूजाहारीहरू मानिसहरूबाट धन लिन बन्द गर्न राजी भए। तर तिनीहरूले मन्दिर मर्मत नगर्ने निर्णय पनि लिए।

⁹But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of Jehovah: and the priests that kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah.

⁹यसकारण पूजाहारी यहोयादाले एउटा सन्दूक ल्याए अनि त्यसको माथि एउटा प्वाल बनाए। त्यसपछि यहोयादाले सन्दूकलाई वेदीको दक्षिणतिर राखे। यो सन्दूक ढोकाको छेऊमा थियो जहाँबाट मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आउने गर्द थिए। केही पूजाहारीहरूले मन्दिरको द्वारपथको पाले काम गर्दथे। ती पूजाहारीहरूले धन लिने गर्दथे जो मानिसहरू परमप्रभुलाई चढाउने गर्दथे अनि तिनीहरू त्यो धन सन्दूकमा राख्ने गर्दथे।

¹⁰And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁰तब मानिसहरूले रूपियाँ सन्दूकमा हाल्न थाले जब तिनीहरू मन्दिर जाने गर्दथे। जहिले राजाका सचिब अनि महा पूजाहारी सन्दूकमा थुप्रै रूपियाँ देख्थे, तिनी आउँथे अनि सन्दूकबाट रूपियाँ निकाल्थे। तिनीहरू रूपियाँ थैलोमा राख्थे अनि गन्ती गर्दथे।

¹¹And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, that wrought upon the house of Jehovah,

¹¹तब तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा काम गर्ने कर्मीहरूलाई भुक्तानी (ज्याला) दिनेगर्दथे। तिनीहरू सिकर्मी र अरू डकर्मीलाई भुक्तानी दिन्थे। जो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा काम गर्दथे।

¹²and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

¹²तिनीहरूले त्यो रूपियाँ ढुंङ्गाको काम गर्ने अनि ढुंङ्गाकाट्नेहरूलाई भुक्तानी दिनमा उपयोग गर्दथे। अनि तिनी त्यो काठ, काटेको ढुंङ्गा अनि अरू चीज मन्दिर मर्मतका सामाग्री किन्नुमा प्रयोग गर्दथे।

¹³But there were not made for the house of Jehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah;

¹³[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

¹⁴for they gave that to them that did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Jehovah.

¹⁴[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

¹⁵Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to them that did the work; for they dealt faithfully.

¹⁵कसैले कुनै रूपियाँ गन्ती गरेन र रूपियाँ के भयो भनी कुनै कर्मीहरूलाई भन्न वाध्य गराएन। किनभने कर्मीहरूलाई विश्वास गर्न सकिन्थ्यो।

¹⁶The money for the trespass-offerings, and the money for the sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was the priests'.

¹⁶मानिसहरूले त्यस बेला रूपियाँ जब तिनीहरूले दोषबलिहरू र पापबलिहरू चढाए। तर त्यो रूपियाँ कर्मीहरूलाई भुक्तानी गर्नमा प्रयोग गरिएन। त्यो रूपियाँ पूजाहारीहरूको हुने गर्दथ्यो।

¹⁷Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

¹⁷हजाएल अरामका राजा थिए। हजाएल गात शहरको विरूद्ध युद्ध गर्नगए। हजाएलले गातलाई पराजित गरे। त्यसपछि उनले यरूशलेमको विरूद्ध युद्ध गर्ने योजना बनाए।

¹⁸And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹⁸यहोशापात, यहोराम र अहज्याह यहूदाका राजाहरू भइसकेका थिए। तिनीहरू योआशका पिता-पुर्खाहरू थिए। तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई धेरै चीजहरू दिएका थिए। ती चीजहरू मन्दिरमा राखिएका थिए। योआशले पनि परमप्रभुलाई धेरै चीजहरू दिएका थिए। योआशले ती सबै चीजहरू सबै सुन लगे जो मन्दिर र उनको घरमा राखिएको थियो। तब योआशले सबै ती बहूमुल्य चीजहरू अरामका राजा हजाएलकहाँ पठाए। तब हजाएलले यरूशलेमलाई आक्रमण गर्न रोके।

¹⁹Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹बाँकी रहेका कुराहरू त्यो योआशले गरे, यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ।

²⁰And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at the house of Millo, [on the way] that goeth down to Silla.

²⁰योआशका अधिकारीहरूले उनको विरोधमा योजनाहरू बनाए। तिनीहरूले योआशलाई सिल्लासम्म जाने सडकमाथि मिल्लोको घरमा मारे।

²¹For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

²¹शिम्मातका छोरा योजाबाद अनि शोमेरका छोरा यहोजाबाद योआशका अधिकारीहरू थिए। ती मानिसहरूले योआशलाई मारे। मानिसहरूले योआशलाई उनका पुर्खाहरूसँगै दाऊदशहरमा गाडे। योआशका छोरा अमस्याह उनीपछि नयाँ राजा भए।
