Exodus 35
1 അനന്തരം മോശെ യിസ്രായേൽമക്കളുടെ സംഘത്തെ ഒക്കെയും കൂട്ടി അവരോടു പറഞ്ഞതു: നിങ്ങൾ ചെയ്വാൻ യഹോവ കല്പിച്ച വചനങ്ങൾ ആവിതു:
2 ആറു ദിവസം വേല ചെയ്യേണം; ഏഴാം ദിവസം നിങ്ങൾക്കു വിശുദ്ധമായി യഹോവയുടെ മഹാസ്വസ്ഥതയുള്ള ശബ്ബത്ത് ആയിരിക്കേണം; അന്നു വേല ചെയ്യുന്നവൻ എല്ലാം മരണ ശിക്ഷ അനുഭവിക്കേണം.
3 ശബ്ബത്ത നാളിൽ നിങ്ങളുടെ വാസസ്ഥലങ്ങളിൽ എങ്ങും തീ കത്തിക്കരുതു.
4 മോശെ പിന്നെയും യിസ്രായേൽമക്കളുടെ സർവ്വസഭയോടും പറഞ്ഞതു: യഹോവ കല്പിച്ചതു എന്തെന്നാൽ:
5 നിങ്ങളുടെ ഇടയിൽ നിന്നു യഹോവെക്കു ഒരു വഴിപാടു എടുപ്പിൻ. നല്ല മനസ്സുള്ളവനെല്ലാം യഹോവെക്കു വഴിപാടു കൊണ്ടുവരേണം.
6 പൊന്നു, വെള്ളി, താമ്രം, നീലനൂൽ, ധൂമ്രനൂൽ, ചുവപ്പുനൂൽ, പഞ്ഞിനൂൽ, കോലാട്ടുരോമം,
7 ചുവപ്പിച്ച ആട്ടുകൊറ്റന്തോൽ തഹശൂതോൽ, ഖദിരമരം,
8 വിളക്കിന്നു എണ്ണ, അഭിഷേകതൈലത്തിന്നും പരിമളധൂപത്തിന്നും സുഗന്ധവർഗ്ഗം,
9 ഗോമേദകക്കല്ലു, ഏഫോദിന്നു പതക്കത്തിന്നും പതിക്കേണ്ടുന്ന കല്ലു എന്നിവ തന്നേ.
10 നിങ്ങളിൽ ജ്ഞാനികളായ എല്ലാവരും വന്നു യഹോവ കല്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതു ഒക്കെയും ഉണ്ടാക്കേണം.
11 തിരുനിവാസം, അതിന്റെ മൂടുവരി, പുറമൂടി, കൊളുത്തുകൾ, പലകകൾ, അന്താഴങ്ങൾ
12 തൂണുകൾ, ചുവടുകൾ, പെട്ടകം, അതിന്റെ തണ്ടുകൾ, കൃപാസനം, മറയുടെ തിരശ്ശീല,
13 മേശ, അതിന്റെ തണ്ടുകൾ, ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ ഒക്കെയും, കാഴ്ചയപ്പം,
14 വെളിച്ചത്തിന്നു നിലവിളക്കു, അതിന്റെ ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ, അതിന്റെ ദീപങ്ങൾ, വിളക്കിന്നു എണ്ണ,
15 ധൂപപീഠം, അതിന്റെ തണ്ടുകൾ, അഭിഷേകതൈലം, സുഗന്ധധൂപവർഗ്ഗം, തിരുനിവാസത്തിലേക്കുള്ള പ്രവേശന വാതിലിന്റെ മറശ്ശീല,
16 ഹോമയാഗപീഠം, അതിന്റെ താമ്രജാലം, തണ്ടുകൾ, അതിന്റെ ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ ഒക്കെയും, തൊട്ടി, അതിന്റെ കാൽ,
17 പ്രാകാരത്തിന്റെ മറശ്ശീലകൾ, അതിന്റെ തൂണുകൾ, ചുവടുകൾ, പ്രാകാര വാതിലിന്റെ മറ,
18 തിരുനിവാസത്തിന്റെ കുറ്റികൾ, പ്രാകാരത്തിന്റെ കുറ്റികൾ,
19 അവയുടെ കയറുകൾ, വിശുദ്ധമന്ദിരത്തിൽ ശുശ്രൂഷ ചെയ്വാൻ വിശേഷവസ്ത്രങ്ങൾ, പുരോഹിതനായ അഹരോന്റെ വിശുദ്ധവസ്ത്രം, പുരോഹിതശുശ്രൂഷെക്കായി അവന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരുടെ വസ്ത്രങ്ങൾ എന്നിവ തന്നേ.
20 അപ്പോൾ യിസ്രായേൽമക്കളുടെ സർവ്വസഭയും മോശെയുടെ മുമ്പിൽ നിന്നു പുറപ്പെട്ടു.
21 ഹൃദയത്തിൽ ഉത്സാഹവും മനസ്സിൽ താല്പര്യവും തോന്നിയവൻ എല്ലാം സമാഗമനക്കുടാരത്തിന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തിക്കും അതിന്റെ സകല ശുശ്രൂഷെക്കും വിശുദ്ധവസ്ത്രങ്ങൾക്കും വേണ്ടി യഹോവെക്കു വഴിപാടു കൊണ്ടുവന്നു.
22 പുരുഷന്മാരും സ്ത്രീകളുമായി ഔദാര്യമനസ്സുള്ളവർ എല്ലാവരും യഹോവെക്കു പൊൻവഴിപാടു കൊടുപ്പാൻ നിശ്ചയിച്ചവരൊക്കെയും വള, കുണുക്കു, മോതിരം, മാല മുതലായ സകലവിധ പൊന്നാഭരണങ്ങളും കൊണ്ടുവന്നു.
23 നീലനൂൽ, ധൂമ്രനൂൽ, ചുവപ്പുനൂൽ, പഞ്ഞിനൂൽ, കോലാട്ടു രോമം, ചുവപ്പിച്ച ആട്ടുകൊറ്റന്തോൽ, തഹശൂതോൽ എന്നിവ കൈവശമുള്ളവർ അതു കൊണ്ടു വന്നു.
24 വെള്ളിയും താമ്രവും വഴിപാടുകൊടുപ്പാൻ നിശ്ചയിച്ചവനെല്ലാം യഹോവെക്കു വഴിപാടു കൊണ്ടുവന്നു. ശുശ്രൂഷയിലെ എല്ലാപണിക്കുമായി ഖദിരമരം കൈവശമുള്ളവൻ അതുകൊണ്ടുവന്നു.
25 സാമർത്ഥ്യമുള്ള സ്ത്രീകൾ ഒക്കെയും തങ്ങളുടെ കൈകൊണ്ടു നൂറ്റ നീലനൂലും ധൂമ്രനൂലും ചുവപ്പു നൂലും പഞ്ഞിനൂലും കൊണ്ടുവന്നു.
26 സാമർത്ഥ്യത്താൽ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ ഉത്സാഹം തോന്നിയ സ്ത്രീകൾ ഒക്കെയും കോലാട്ടുരോമം നൂറ്റു.
27 പ്രമാണികൾ ഏഫോദിന്നും പതക്കത്തിനും പതിക്കേണ്ടുന്ന കല്ലുകളും ഗോമേദകക്കല്ലുകളും
28 വെളിച്ചത്തിന്നും അഭിഷേകതൈലത്തിന്നും സുഗന്ധ ധൂപത്തിന്നുമായി പരിമളവർഗ്ഗവും എണ്ണയും കൊണ്ടു വന്നു.
29 മോശെ മുഖാന്തരം യഹോവ കല്പിച്ച സകലപ്രവൃത്തിക്കുമായി കൊണ്ടുവരുവാൻ യിസ്രായേൽമക്കളിൽ ഔദാര്യമനസ്സുള്ള സകല പുരുഷന്മാരും സ്ത്രീകളും യഹോവെക്കു സ്വമേധാദാനം കൊണ്ടുവന്നു.
30 എന്നാൽ മോശെ യിസ്രായേൽമക്കളോടു പറഞ്ഞതു: നോക്കുവിൻ; യഹോവ യെഹൂദാ ഗോത്രത്തിൽ ഹൂരിന്റെ മകനായ ഊരിയുടെ മകൻ ബെസലേലിനെ പേർചൊല്ലി വിളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
31 കൌശലപ്പണികളെ സങ്കല്പിച്ചുണ്ടാക്കുവാനും പൊന്നു, വെള്ളി, താമ്രം എന്നിവകൊണ്ടു പണി ചെയ്വാനും
32 രത്നം വെട്ടി പതിപ്പാനും മരത്തിൽ കൊത്തുപണിയായ സകലവിധ കൌശലപ്പണിയും ചെയ്വാനും
33 അവൻ ദിവ്യാത്മാവിനാൽ അവനെ ജ്ഞാനവും ബുദ്ധിയും അറിവും സകലവിധ സാമർത്ഥ്യവുംകൊണ്ടു നിറെച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
34 അവന്റെ മനസ്സിലും ദാൻഗോത്രത്തിൽ അഹീസാമാക്കിന്റെ മകനായ ഒഹൊലീയാബിന്റെ മനസ്സിലും മറ്റുള്ളവരെ പഠിപ്പിപ്പാൻ അവൻ തോന്നിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
35 കൊത്തുപണിക്കാരന്റെയും കൌശലപ്പണിക്കാരന്റെയും നീലനൂൽ, ധൂമ്രനൂൽ, ചുവപ്പുനൂൽ, പഞ്ഞിനൂൽ എന്നിവകൊണ്ടു പണിചെയ്യുന്ന തയ്യൽക്കാരന്റെയും നെയ്ത്തുകാരന്റെയും ഏതുതരം ശില്പപ്പണി ചെയ്യുന്നവരുടെയും കൌശലപ്പണികൾ സങ്കല്പിച്ചു ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നവരുടെയും സകലവിധപ്രവൃത്തിയും ചെയ്വാൻ അവൻ അവരെ മനസ്സിൽ ജ്ഞാനം കൊണ്ടു നിറെച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them.
2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying,
5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord; gold, and silver, and brass,
6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
7 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,
8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the Lord hath commanded;
11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
15 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
16 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
17 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord.
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers’ skins, brought them.
24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the Lord’s offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
2 Kings 23 in Tamil and English
1 ત્યારબાદ રાજાએ પોતાની સાથે યહોવાના મંદિરમાં આવવા માટે સંદેશવાહકો મોકલીને યરૂશાલેમના તથા યહૂદાના વડીલો તથા આગેવાનોને બોલાવ્યા.
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 યરૂશાલેમ અને યહૂદાના સર્વ યાજકો, પ્રબોધકો, અને નાનાથી મોટા સર્વ લોકો મંદિર આગળ ભેગા થયા. રાજાએ તેઓની આગળ મંદિરમાંથી મળી આવેલું દેવના નિયમશાસ્ત્રનું પુસ્તક પૂરેપૂરું વાચી સંભળાવ્યું.
And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.
3 ત્યારબાદ રાજાએ મંચ પર ઊભા રહીને, તેમને યહોવાને અનુસરવાનું કહ્યું. અને તેના બધા આદેશો અને હુકમોનું પાલન કરવાનું અને તેમની બધી સુચનાઓને તેમના પૂર્ણ હૃદયથી અને તેમના પૂર્ણ આત્માથી અનુસરવાનું કહ્યું. અને એ રીતે આ પુસ્તકમાં લખેલા કરારની શરતોનો પૂરેપૂરો અમલ કરવાની પ્રતિજ્ઞા કરી; અને બધા લોકોએ પણ એ કરારનું પાલન કરવાની પ્રતિજ્ઞા લીધી.
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
4 એ પછી રાજાએ વડા યાજક હિલ્કિયાને તથા મદદનીશ યાજકને તેમજ દ્વારના રક્ષકોને બઆલદેવની અશેરાદેવીની તેમજ આકાશનાં નક્ષત્રોની પૂજામાં વપરાતી બધી સામગ્રી યહોવાના મંદિરમાંથી હઠાવી લેવાનો હુકમ કર્યો, અને તે બધીને તેણે યરૂશાલેમ બહાર કિદ્રોનનાં કોતરમાં બાળી મુકાવી, અને તેની રાખ બેથેલ લઈ જવામાં આવી.
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
5 તેણે યહૂદાના રાજાઓએ, યહૂદાના નગરોમાંના અને યરૂશાલેમની આસપાસનાં ઉચ્ચસ્થાનોમાં ધૂપ અર્પણો કરવા નીમેલા વિધમીર્ર્ યાજકોને બરતરફ કર્યા, આમાં બધાં જેમણે બઆલમાં અર્પણો કર્યા હતા તે, સૂર્ય,ચંદ્ર, નક્ષત્રો અને આકાશના બધાં સમૂહોનો સમાવેશ થતો હતો.
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 યરૂશાલેમના મંદિરમાંથી અશેરાદેવીની મૂર્તિને યરૂશાલેમની બહાર કિદ્રોનના કોતરમાં લઈ જઈને બાળીને ભસ્મ કરી નાખી અને તેની રાખ ગાઝા નજીક સામાન્ય લોકોની કબરો પર ફેંકી દીધી.
And he brought out the grove from the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.
7 તેણે યહોવાના મંદિરમાં આવેલું દેવદાસો અને દેવદાસીઓ માટેનું ઘર, જેમાં સ્રીઓ અશેરા માટે વસ્ત્રો વણતી, તે તોડી પાડયું.
And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
8 યહૂદાના નગરોમાંથી તેણે બધા યાજકોને યરૂશાલેમમાં ભેગા કર્યા, અને ગેબાથી બેર-શેબા સુધી સર્વત્ર તેઓ જ્યાં જ્યાં અર્પણ સ્તંભ અને અર્પણ વેદીઓ હતી, તે બધાં તેણે ષ્ટ કર્યા. પછી તેણે નગરના શાસક યહોશુઆના દરવાજા પાસે આવેલા ઉચ્ચસ્થાનો તોડી નાખ્યા. જે મુખ્ય નગર દરવાજાની ડાબી બાજુએ હતો.
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
9 પરંતુ એ થાનકોના યાજકો યરૂશાલેમમાં આવેલી વેદીની પૂજા કરવા આવ્યા નહોતા, તેઓએ તેમના કુટુંબો વચ્ચે બેખમીર રોટલી ખાધી.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 હવે પછી કોઈ પણ વ્યકિત પોતાના પુત્ર કે પુત્રીને મારી નાખીને તેનું બલિદાન તરીકે અર્પણ ન કરી શકે, કારણકે રાજાએ બેન-હિન્નોમની ખીણમાં આવેલી તોફેથની વેદીને પણ તોડી પાડી હતી.
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 તેણે નાથાન મેલેખના નિવાસસ્થાન પાસે મંદરિના મુખ્ય પ્રવેશદ્વાર આગળ આવેલી ઘોડાઓની પ્રતિમાઓને તોડી પાડી. તેણે સૂર્ય દેવને સમર્પિત થયેલા રથોને બાળી મૂક્યા.
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 આહાઝના ઉપરના ઓરડા પર યહૂદાના રાજાઓએ બંધાવેલી વેદીઓ હતી, તેને તોડી પાડી. ત્યાર પછી મંદિરના બંને આંગણામાં મનાશ્શાએ બાંધેલી બે વેદીઓ હતી, તે પણ તેણે તોડી નાખી, એ સર્વને ભાંગીને ભૂકો કર્યો અને એ ભૂકો કિદ્રોનની ખીણમાં ફેંકી દીધો.
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13 વળી તેણે ઇસ્રાએલની પૂર્વ તરફના ઉચ્ચસ્થાનકો અપવિત્ર કર્યા. તે ઇસ્રાએલના સુલેમાન રાજાએ બંધાવેલી “વિનાશક ટેકરીઓની” દક્ષિણે હતાં જે તેણે આશ્તોરેથ માટે બંધાવી હતી જે સિદોનીઓની ભયાનક દેવી હતી, મોઆબીઓના ભયાનક દેવ કમોશ અને આમ્મોનીઓના ભયાનક દેવ, મિલ્કોમના સ્થાનકો પણ તોડી પાડ્યાં.
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 તેણે સ્તંભો તોડી પાડયા અને અશેરાદેવીનાં પ્રતીકો કાપી નાખ્યાં. તેઓ જે જગ્યાએ ઊભાં હતાં તે જગ્યાઓ માણાસોનાં હાડકાંઓથી પૂરી દીધી.
And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 એ જ રીતે બેથેલની વેદી અને ઉચ્ચસ્થાનો, જે ઇસ્રાએલને પાપ કરવા પ્રેરનાર નબાટના પુત્ર યરોબઆમે બંધાવી હતી તેનો પણ તેણે નાશ કર્યો, તેના પથ્થરોને ભેગા કરીને ભાંગીને ભૂકો કરી ફેકી દીધો અને અશેરાદેવીની બધી નિશાનીઓને બાળી મૂકી.
Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
16 જ્યારે યોશિયા બીજી તરફ ફર્યો ત્યારે તેણે એક ટેકરી પર કેટલીક કબરો જોઈ, આ રીતે, જે રીતે દેવના માણસે ભવિષ્યવાણી ભાખી હતી તે પ્રમાણે જ તેણે વેદીને ષ્ટ કરી.
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
17 અને તેણે પૂછયું, “ત્યાં પેલું સ્મારક શાનું છે?”નગરના લોકોએ કહ્યું, “એ તો જે દેવના માણસ એલિયાએ યહૂદાથી આવીને તમે બેથેલની વેદીના જે હાલ કર્યા તેની અગમ વાણી ભાખી હતી તેની કબર છે.”
Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.
18 તેણે કહ્યું, “એ ભલે રહી.” કોઈ એનાં હાડકાં ખસેડશો નહિ.” તેથી તેઓએ તેનાં હાડકાં છોડી દીધાં અને સમરૂનથી આવેલા દેવના માણસનાં હાડકાંને પણ કોઈ અડયું નહિ.
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 વળી, યોશિયાએ સમરૂનનાં નગરોમાં ઇસ્રાએલના રાજાઓએ બનાવેલા ઉચ્ચસ્થાનકોનો નાશ કરીને જે યહવોનો રોષ વહોરી લીધો હતો, તે બધાંની પણ તેણે બેથેલમાં કરી હતી તેવી જ દશા કરી.
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
20 એ ટેકરી ઉપરનાં થાનકોના બધા યાજકોનો તેણે વેદીઓ પર વધ કર્યો, અને તે વેદીઓ પર તેણે માણસનાં હાડકાં બાળ્યાં, પછી તે યરૂશાલેમ પાછો ગયો.
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 રાજાએ સમગ્ર પ્રજાને આ પ્રમાણે આજ્ઞા કરી, “તમારા દેવ યહોવાના માનમાં, કરારના આ પુસ્તકમાં ઠરાવ્યા મુજબ, પાસ્ખાપર્વ ઊજવો.”
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 ન્યાયાધીશોના સમયથી કયારેય આવો પાસ્ખાપર્વ ઊજવાયો નહોતો, ઇસ્રાએલ કે યહૂદાના એક પણ રાજા દ્વારા પણ નહિ.
Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 પણ યોશિયાના અમલના 18 મે વષેર્ જ આ પાસ્ખાપર્વ યહોવાના માનમાં યરૂશાલેમમાં ઊજવાયો.
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 આ ઉપરાંત યોશિયાએ યાજક હિલ્કિયાને યહોવાના મંદિરમાંથી મળેલી પોથીમાંના નિયમશાસ્ત્રાનાં વચનોનું પાલન કરવા માટે કહ્યું અને બધાં તાંત્રિકો, મેલી વિદ્યાના ઉપાસકો, કુળદેવો અને યહૂદાના પ્રદેશમાં અને યરૂશાલેમમાં જોવામાં આવતી બધી મૂર્તિઓ જે અનાદરને પાત્ર હોય તે બધી બાળી નાખીને તેનો નાશ કરીને તે જગ્યા સાફ કરી નાખી.
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.
25 એના પહેલાં કે પછી એવો કોઈ રાજા થયો નથી, જેણે મૂસાના નિયમશાસ્ત્રનું પાલન કરીને પૂરા હૃદયથી અને સંપૂર્ણ બળથી યહોવાની ભકિત કરી હોય.”
And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 તેમ છતાં મનાશ્શાના ખરાબ કૃત્યોને કારણે યહૂદા વિરૂદ્ધ યહોવાને ચઢેલો ભારે રોષ હજુ શમ્યો ન હતો.
Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
27 યહોવાએ જાહેર કર્યુ કે, “હું યહૂદીઓને પણ ઇસ્રાએલીઓની જેમ મારા સાન્નિધ્યથી દૂર હડસેલી મુકીશ. મેં પસંદ કરેલા આ નગર યરૂશાલેમને તેમજ યહોવાના જે મંદિરને વિષે મેં એમ કહ્યું હતું કે, “ત્યાં મારું નામ કાયમ રહેશે.” તેને પણ હું દૂર કરીશ.”
And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 એના અમલ દરમ્યાન મિસરના રાજા ફારુન નકોહ આશ્શૂરના રાજાને મદદ કરવા ફ્રાત નદી આગળ જવા નીકળ્યો હતો અને રાજા યોશિયાએ તેને માર્ગમાં અટકાવ્યો હતો; નકોહ રાજાએ તેને જોયો ત્યારે તેણે એને મગિદ્દોમાં મારી નાખ્યો.
In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 તેના અધિકારીઓ તેના મૃતદેહને રથમાં મૂકીને મગિદ્દોથી યરૂશાલેમ લાવ્યા અને તેના મૃત્યુ અગાઉથી તેણે પસંદ કરી રાખેલી કબરમાં તેને દફનાવ્યો. પછી તેના પુત્ર યહોઆહાઝને તેના પિતાની જગ્યાએ નવા રાજા તરીકે પસંદ કરીને અભિષ્કિત કર્યો.
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
31 યહૂદાનો નવો રાજા યહોઆહાઝ ગાદીએ બેઠો, ત્યારે તે ત્રેવીસ વર્ષનો હતો, તેણે યરૂશાલેમમાં ત્રણ મહિના રાજ કર્યું, તેની માતાનું નામ હમૂટાલ હતું. તે લિબ્નાહના યમિર્યાની પુત્રી હતી.
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 યહોઆહાઝે પોતાના પિતૃઓની જેમ યહોવાની દૃષ્ટિએ અયોગ્ય ગણાય એવું આચરણ કર્યું.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 ફારુન નકોહે તેને યરૂશાલેમ કબજે કરતો અટકાવવા માટે હમાથમાં કેદ પકડયો અને પછી તેણે દેશ પર 7,500 પાઉંડ ચાંદી અને 75 પાઉંડ સોનાનો કર નાખ્યો.
And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 ફારુને યોશિયાના પુત્ર એલ્યાકીમને તેના પિતા યોશિયા પછી રાજા બનાવ્યો અને તેનું નામ બદલીને યહોયાકીમ રાખ્યું. યહોઆહાઝને તે મિસર લઈ ગયો અને ત્યાં તેનું અવસાન થયું.
And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
35 યહોયાકીમે ફારુનને સોનું અને ચાંદી આપ્યાં.પરંતુ લોકો પર, તેમના દરજ્જા પ્રમાણે કર નાખ્યો, તેણે તેમ કર્યું જેથી તે ફારુનની માંગોને પહોંચી વળે.
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh.
36 યહોયાકીમ ગાદીએ આવ્યો ત્યારે તેની ઉંમર 25 વર્ષની હતી. અને તેણે યરૂશાલેમમાં 11 વર્ષ રાજ કર્યુ. તેની માતાનું નામ ઝબીદાહ હતું અને તે રૂમાહના પેદાયાની પુત્રી હતી.
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 યહોયાકીમે પોતાના પિતૃઓની જેમ યહોવાની દૃષ્ટિએ અયોગ્ય ગણાય તેવું આચરણ કર્યું.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
