2 Chronicles 2
1 Now it was Solomon's purpose to put up a house for the name of the Lord and a house for himself as king.
सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका नाउँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर र आफ्नो राज्यको निम्ति एउटा राजमहल निर्माण गर्ने आदेश दिए ।
2 And Solomon had seventy thousand men numbered for transport, and eighty thousand for cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers.
सोलोमनले भारी बोक्नलाई सत्तरी हजार, र पहाडहरूमा ढुङ्गा काट्नलाई असी हजार र तिनीहरूको निरीक्षण गर्न छत्तिस सय मानिसलाई जिम्मा दिए ।
3 And Solomon sent to Huram, king of Tyre, saying, As you did for my father David, sending him cedar-trees for the building of his house,
सोलोमनले टुरोसका राजा हीरामलाई यसो भनेर समाचार पठाए, “तपाईंले जसरी मेरा बुबा दाऊदको निम्ति आवासीय भवन बनाउनलाई देवदारुका काठहरू पठाउनुभएको थियो, मेरो निम्ति पनि त्यसै गर्नुहोस् ।
4 See! I am building a house for the name of the Lord my God, to be made holy to him, where perfumes of sweet spices will be burned before him, and the holy bread will be placed at all times, and burned offerings will be offered morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts of the Lord our God. This is a law for ever to Israel.
हेर्नुहोस्, मैले परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरका नाउँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न, त्यसलाई उहाँको निम्ति अलग गर्न, उहाँको सामु सुगन्धित मसलाका धूप बाल्न, उपस्थितिको रोटी राख्न, अनि बिहान-बेलुकी, शबाथहरूमा, औंसीहरूमा र परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरका तोकिएका चाडहरूमा होमबलि चढाउन लागेको छु । यो इस्राएलको निम्ति सदासर्वदाको लागि हो ।
5 And the house which I am building is to be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
मैले निर्माण गर्न लागेको मन्दिर अत्यन्तै ठूलो भवन हुनेछ, किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्वर अरू सबै देवताभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ ।
6 But who may have strength enough to make a house for him, seeing that the heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be his resting-place? who am I then to make a house for him? But I am building it only for the burning of perfume before him.
तर सारा विश्व र स्वर्ग नै पनि परमेश्वरको निम्ति सानो हुन्छ भने, कसले उहाँको निम्ति मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न सक्छ? उहाँको सामु बलिदान चढाउनुबाहेक उहाँको निम्ति मन्दिर निर्माण गर्ने म को हुँ र?
7 So now send me an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron? in purple and red and blue, and in the cutting of all sorts of ornament, to be with the expert workmen who are here in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David got together.
यसकारण मेरो निम्ति सुन, चाँदी, काँसा र फलाम, अनि बैजनी, रातो र नीलो ऊनी धागोको काम गर्न सक्ने एक जना निपुण कारीगर पठाइदिनुहोस्। तिनी काठ कुँदेर सबै कुरा बनाउन जान्ने मानिस पनि होऊन् । तिनले मेरा बुबा दाऊदले जुटाउनुभएका यहूदा र यरूशलेममा भएका निपुण कारीगरहरूसँग काम गर्नेछन् ।
8 And send me cedar-trees, cypress-trees and sandal-wood from Lebanon, for, to my knowledge, your servants are expert wood-cutters in Lebanon; and my servants will be with yours,
मलाई लेबनानबाट देवदारु, सल्ला र चन्दनका काठहरू पनि पठाइदिनुहोस्, किनकि मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंका सेवकहरूले लेबनानमा काठहरू कसरी काट्नुपर्छ भनी जान्दछन् । हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा सेवकहरू तपाईंका सेवकहरूसित हुनेछन्,
9 To get trees for me in great numbers, for the house which I am building is to be great and a wonder.
ताकि मेरो निम्ति प्रशस्त काठहरू तयार गर्न सकून्, किनकि मैले बनाउन लागिरहेको मन्दिर महान् र आश्चर्यको हुनेछ।
10 And I will give as food to your servants, the wood-cutters, twenty thousand measures of grain, and twenty thousand measures of barley and twenty thousand measures of wine and twenty thousand measures of oil.
हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका सेवकहरू, मुढा काट्ने मानिसहरूलाई म पचास हजार मुरी गहूँ, पचास हजार मुरी जौ, एक लाख पाथी दाखमद्य र एक लाख पाथी तेल दिनेछु ।”
11 Then Huram, king of Tyre, sent Solomon an answer in writing, saying, Because of his love for his people the Lord has made you king over them.
टुरोसका राजा हीरामले पत्रद्वारा सोलोमनलाई लेखेर जावाफ दिए: “परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएको हुनाले उहाँले तपाईंलाई तिनीहरूमाथि राजा तुल्याउनुभयो ।”
12 And Huram said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, maker of heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, full of wisdom and good sense, to be the builder of a house for the Lord and a house for himself as king.
साथै पत्रमा हीरामले भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर धन्यका होउन्, जसले स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीको सृष्टि गर्नुभयो, जसले दाऊद राजालाई बुद्धि र समझशक्तिको वरदान भएको एउटा बुद्धिमान् छोरा दिनुभएको छ, जसले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर र आफ्नै निम्ति एउटा राजमहल बनाउनुहुनेछ ।
13 And now I am sending you a wise and expert man, Huram who is as my father,
अब मैले एक जना सिपालु मानिस हुराम-अब्बीलाई पठाएको छु, जससँग सुझबुझको वरदान छ ।
14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron, in stone and wood, in purple and blue and fair linen and red, trained in the cutting of every sort of ornament and the invention of every sort of design; let him be given a place among your expert workmen and those of my lord, your father David.
तिनी दानका छोरीमध्येकी एक जना स्त्रीका छोरा हुन् । तिनका बुबा टुरोसका मानिस हुन् । तिनी सुन र चाँदी, काँसा, फलाम, ढुङ्गा र काठका काम अनि बैजनी, रातो र नीलो ऊनी धागो र मलमलका कपडाका काममा पनि अनुभवी कारीगर हुन् । तिनी कुनै पनि किसिमका बुट्टा कुँद्ने र कुनै पनि किसिमको नमूनाको काममा सिपालु छन् । तिनी तपाईंका निपुण कारीगरहरूका साथमा, र मेरा स्वामी तपाईंका बुबा दाऊदका कारीगरहरूका साथमा काम गर्ने ठाउँको व्यवस्था गरिदिनुहोस् ।
15 So now let my lord send to his servants the grain and the oil and the wine as my lord has said;
अब मेरा स्वामीले आफ्ना सेवकहरूका निम्ति आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको गहूँ, जौ, तेल र दाखमद्य पठाइदिनुहोस् ।
16 And we will have wood cut from Lebanon, as much as you have need of, and will send it to you on flat boats by sea to Joppa, and from there you may take it up to Jerusalem.
तपाईंलाई चाहिए जति काठ हामी लेबनानमा काट्नेछौं । मूढाहरू बाँधेर योप्पासम्म बगाएर पठाइदिनेछौं, र तपाईंले ती यरूशलेमसम्म लैजानुहुनेछ ।”
17 Then Solomon took the number of all the men from strange lands who were living in Israel, as his father David had done; there were a hundred and fifty-three thousand, six hundred.
आफ्ना बुबा दाऊदले मानिसहरूको जनगणना लिएझैं सोलोमनले इस्राएलमा बस्ने सबै विदेशीको जनगणना लिए । यिनीहरू १,५३,६०० जना थिए ।
18 Seventy thousand he put to the work of transport, eighty thousand to cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers to put the people to work.
यिमध्येका सत्तरी हजारलाई भारी बोक्न र असी हजारलाई पहाडहरूमा ढुङ्गा काट्न र मानिसहरूलाई काममा लगाउन निरीक्षण गर्न छत्तिस सयलाई नियुक्त गरे ।
