< Chronicles II 1 >

1 And Solomon the son of David was established over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and increased him exceedingly.
दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमन आफ्‍नो शासनमा बलियो भएपछि र परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्‍वर तिनको साथमा हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र तिनलाई धेरै शक्तिशाली बनाउनुभयो ।
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and to the captains of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the rulers over Israel, even the heads of the families;
सबै इस्राएलसित, हजार कमाण्‍डर र सयका कमाण्‍डरहरू, र न्‍यायकर्ताहरू, र सारा इस्राएलमा भएका हरेक शासक, घरानाहरूका मुखियाहरूसित सोलोमनले कुरा गरे ।
3 and Solomon and all the congregation went to the high place that was in Gabaon, where was God's tabernacle of witness, which Moses the servant of the Lord made in the wilderness.
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 David had brought up the ark of God out of the city of Cariathiarim; for David had prepared a place for it, for he had pitched a tabernacle for it in 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 brazen altar which Beseleel the son of Urias, the son of Or, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation enquired at it.
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 brought [victims] thither to the brazen altar that was before the Lord in the tabernacle, and offered upon it a thousand whole-burnt-offerings.
सोलोमन भेट हुने पालमा परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने भएको काँसाको वेदीमा गए र त्‍यसमा एक हजार होमबलि चढाए ।
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
त्‍यस रात परमेश्‍वर सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “माग्, म तँलाई के दिऊँ?”
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou hast dealt very mercifully with my father David, and hast made me king in his stead.
सोलोमनले परमेश्‍वरलाई भने, “तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई महान्‌ करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता देखाउनुभएको छ र मलाई उहाँको सट्टामा राजा तुल्‍याउनुभएको छ ।
9 And now, O Lord God, let, I pray thee, thy name be established upon David my father; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
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 Now give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this thy great people?
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 thy heart, and thou hast not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of thine enemies, and thou hast not asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and understanding, that thou mightest judge my people, over whom I have made thee 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 I give thee this wisdom and understanding; and I will give thee wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been [any] like thee among the kings before thee, neither shall there be such after thee.
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 And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gabaon to Jerusalem, [from] before the tabernacle of witness, and reigned over Israel.
तब सोलोमन गिबोनको अल्‍गो स्‍थानको भेट हुने पालबाट यरूशलेममा आए। तिनले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरे ।
14 And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he set them in the cities of chariots, and the people [were] with the king in 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 in Jerusalem [to be] as stones, and cedars in Judea as sycamores in the plain for multitude.
राजाले सुन र चाँदी यरूशलेममा ढुङ्गैसरह बनाए र देवदारुचाहिं तराईमा हुने अन्‍जीरहरूजस्तै प्रशस्‍त तुल्‍याए ।
16 And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and the charge of the king's merchants for going [was as follows], and they traded,
सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्रदेश र क्‍यूएबाट पैठारी हुन्‍थे। तिनका व्‍यापारीहरूले ती क्‍यूएबाट किनेर ल्‍याउँथे ।
17 and went and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [pieces] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty [pieces] of silver: and so they brought for all the kings of the Chettites, and for the kings of Syria by their means.
तिनीहरूले प्रत्‍येक रथ सात सय शेकेल चाँदीमा र घोडाचाहिं १५० शेकेल चाँदीमा मिश्रदेशबाट पैठारी गर्थे । तिनीहरूले हित्ती र अरामीहरूका राजाहरूलाई ती निकासी पनि गर्थे ।
