< 2 Chronicles 1 >
1 And Solomon, the son of David, made himself strong in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him very great.
दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमन आफ्नो शासनमा बलियो भएपछि र परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वर तिनको साथमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तिनलाई धेरै शक्तिशाली बनाउनुभयो ।
2 And Solomon sent word to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every chief in all Israel, heads of their families.
सबै इस्राएलसित, हजार कमाण्डर र सयका कमाण्डरहरू, र न्यायकर्ताहरू, र सारा इस्राएलमा भएका हरेक शासक, घरानाहरूका मुखियाहरूसित सोलोमनले कुरा गरे ।
3 Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.
अनि सोलोमन र तिनीसँग भएका सबै सभा गिबोनमा भएको अग्लो स्थानमा गए, किनकि त्यहाँ परमेश्वरका भेट हुने पाल थियो, जुन परमप्रभुका सेवक मोशाले उजाड-स्थानमा बनाएका थिए ।
4 But the ark of God had been moved by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place which he had made ready for it, for he had put up a tent for it at Jerusalem.
तर दाऊदले परमेश्वरको सन्दूक किर्यत-यारीमबाट आफूले तयार गरेको ठाउँमा माथि ल्याएका थिए, किनकि त्यसको निम्ति तिनले यरूशलेममा पाल टाँगेका थिए ।
5 And the altar of brass which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the Tent of the Lord; and Solomon and all the people went to give worship there.
साथै हूरका नाति, ऊरीका छोरा बजलेलले बनाएको काँसाको वेदी गिबोनमा नै परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानको सामुन्ने थियो । सोलोमन र त्यो सभा त्याहाँ गए ।
6 And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.
सोलोमन भेट हुने पालमा परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने भएको काँसाको वेदीमा गए र त्यसमा एक हजार होमबलि चढाए ।
7 In that night God came to Solomon in a vision, and said to him, Say what I am to give you.
त्यस रात परमेश्वर सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “माग्, म तँलाई के दिऊँ?”
8 And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.
सोलोमनले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई महान् करारको विश्वस्तता देखाउनुभएको छ र मलाई उहाँको सट्टामा राजा तुल्याउनुभएको छ ।
9 Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.
अब हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई दिनुभएको तपाईंको प्रतिज्ञा पुरा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि पृथ्वीको धुलो जत्तिकै अनगन्ती मानिसमाथि तपाईंले मलाई राजा बनाउनुभएको छ ।
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, so that I may go out and come in before this people: for who is able to be the judge of this great people of yours?
अब मलाई बुद्धि र ज्ञान दिनुहोस् ताकि यी मानिसलाई म नेतृत्व गर्न सकूँ, किनकि यति धेरै सङ्ख्यामा रहेका तपाईंका मानिसहरूको न्याय कसले गर्न सक्छ र?”
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you did not make request for money, property, or honour, or for the destruction of your haters, or for long life; but you have made request for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you may be the judge of my people over whom I have made you king:
परमेश्वरले सोलोमनलाई भन्नुभयो, “किनभने तेरो हृदयमा यो कुरा छ, र तैंले समृद्धि, धन-सम्पत्ति वा आदर मागिनस् न त तँलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूको प्राण, न त आफ्नो निम्ति दीर्घायु नै मागिस्, तर आफ्नो निम्ति तैंले बुद्धि र ज्ञान मागिस् ताकि तैंले मेरा मानिसमाथि शासन सक्छस् जसमाथि मैले तँलाई राजा बनाएको छु, र म यसै गर्नेछु ।
12 Wisdom and knowledge are given to you; and I will give you wealth and honour, such as no king has had before you or ever will have after you.
अब म तँलाई बुद्धि र ज्ञान दिनेछु । म तँलाई यस्तो समृद्धि, धन-सम्पत्ति, र आदर पनि दिनेछु, जो तँभन्दा अघिका कुनै राजाले पाएका थिएनन्, र तँभन्दा पछिका कुनैले पनि पाउनेछैनन् ।”
13 So Solomon went back from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of meeting, to Jerusalem; and he was king over Israel.
तब सोलोमन गिबोनको अल्गो स्थानको भेट हुने पालबाट यरूशलेममा आए। तिनले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरे ।
14 And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.
सोलोमनले रथहरू र घोडचढीहरू जम्मा गरे, र तिनीसँग चौध सय रथ र बाह्र हजार घोडचढीहरू थिए, जसलाई तिनले रथ राख्ने सहरहरूमा र आफू, अर्थात् यरूशलेममा राजसित राखे ।
15 And the king made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedar like the sycamore-trees of the lowland in number.
राजाले सुन र चाँदी यरूशलेममा ढुङ्गैसरह बनाए र देवदारुचाहिं तराईमा हुने अन्जीरहरूजस्तै प्रशस्त तुल्याए ।
16 And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt; the king's traders got them from Kue at a price.
सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्रदेश र क्यूएबाट पैठारी हुन्थे। तिनका व्यापारीहरूले ती क्यूएबाट किनेर ल्याउँथे ।
17 A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
तिनीहरूले प्रत्येक रथ सात सय शेकेल चाँदीमा र घोडाचाहिं १५० शेकेल चाँदीमा मिश्रदेशबाट पैठारी गर्थे । तिनीहरूले हित्ती र अरामीहरूका राजाहरूलाई ती निकासी पनि गर्थे ।
