< Chronicles II 6 >

1 Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in thick darkness.
तब सोलोमनले भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएको छ, उहाँ निष्‍पट्ट अँध्‍यारोमा वास गर्नुहुनेछ,
2 But I have built a house to your name, holy to you, and prepared [for you] to dwell in for ever.
तर यहाँ मैले तपाईंको निम्‍ति सदासर्वदा वास गर्न एउटा उच्‍च वासस्‍थान बनाएको छु ।”
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood by.
त्यसपछि इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय खडा भइरहँदा, राजा तिनीहरूतिर फर्के र तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।
4 And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel: he has even fulfilled with his hands as he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रशंसा होस्, जसले मेरा बुबा दाऊदसँग बोल्‍नुभयो र आफ्‍ना हातले यसो भन्दै प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नुभएको छ,
5 From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.
‘मेरो मानिसलाई मिश्रदेशबाट मैले निकालेर ल्‍याएको दिनदेखि यता इस्राएलका सबै कुलको कुनै पनि सहरलाई मेरो नाउँ कायम राख्‍नलाई एउटा मन्‍दिर बनाउन भनी मैले छानिनँ । न त मेरो मानिस इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न मैले कुनै मानिसलाई अगुवा हुनलाई चुनें ।
6 But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
तापनि मैले यरूशलेमलाई छानेको छु, ताकि त्‍यहाँ मेरो नाउँ त्यहा रहोस्, र दाऊदलाई नै मेरो मानिस इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्नलाई मैले चुनेको छु ।’
7 And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
अब परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँको निम्‍ति एउटा मन्‍दिर निर्माण गर्ने इच्‍छा मेरा बुबा दाऊदको हृदयमा थियो ।
8 But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it came into your heart.
तर परमप्रभुले मेरो बुबा दाऊदलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'मेरो नाउँको निम्‍ति एउटा मन्‍दिर निर्माण गर्ने कुरा तेरो हृदयमा थियो, यो तेरो हृदयमा राखेर तैंले असलै गरिस् ।
9 Nevertheless you shall not build the house; for your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
तापनि तैंले त्‍यो मन्‍दिर निर्माण गर्नेछैनस् । बरु, तँबाट जन्‍मने तेरो छोराले नै मेरो नाउँको निम्‍ति त्‍यो मन्‍दिर बनाउनेछ ।’
10 And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel:
परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएको कुरा पूरा गर्नुभएको छ, किनकि परमप्रभुले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम मेरो बुबा दाऊदको सट्टामा म खडा भएको छु, र इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा म बसेको छु । परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँको निम्‍ति मैले यो मन्‍दिर बनाएको छु ।
11 and I have set there the ark in which [is] the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.
परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिससित गर्नुभएको उहाँको आफ्‍नो करारको सन्‍दूक मैले त्‍यहाँ राखेको छु ।”
12 And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.
सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका वेदीको सामु इस्राएलका जम्‍मै समुदायको उपस्‍थितिमा खडा भए र आफ्‍ना हात फैलाए ।
13 For Solomon [had] made a brazen scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it [was] five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits: and he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands to heaven,
किनकि तिनले पाँच हात लामो, पाँच हात चौडा र तीन हात अग्‍लो काँसाको एउटा मञ्‍च बनाएका थिए । तिनले त्यसलाई चोकको बीचमा राखेका थिए । तिनी त्‍यसमाथि खडा भए र इस्राएलका सारा समुदायको उपस्‍थितिमा घुँडा टेके, र तिनले आफ्‍ना हात स्‍वर्गतिर फैलाए ।
14 and said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven, or on the earth; keeping covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with [their] whole heart.
तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर, स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीमा तपाईंजस्तो कुनै पनि परमेश्‍वर छैन, जसले आफ्‍नो सारा हृदयले तपाईंको मार्गमा जाग्‍ने आफ्‍ना सेवकहरूसँग आफ्‍नो अटुट प्रेमको करार बाँध्‍नुहुन्छ ।
15 Even as you have kept [them] with your servant David my father, as you have spoken to him in words: —you have both spoken with your mouth, and have fulfilled [it] with your hands, as it is this day.
तपाईंले आफ्‍ना दास मेरा बुबा दाऊदसित गर्नुभएको आफ्‍नो प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नुभएको छ । हो, आफ्‍नै मुखले तपाईंले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको हो र आफ्‍नै हातले त्‍यो पूरा गर्नुभएको हो, जस्‍तो आज हुन आएको छ ।
16 and now, Lord God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father the things which you spoke to him, saying, There shall not fail you a man before me sitting on the throne of Israel, if only your sons will take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you did walk before me.
अब हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर, आफ्‍ना दास मेरा बुबा दाऊदसित गर्नुभएको यो प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नुहोस्, जब तपाईंले भन्‍नुभयो, ‘तँ मेरो सामु हिंडेझैं तेरा सन्तानहरू मेरो व्‍यवस्‍था पालन गर्ने कुरामा होसियार भए भने, इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा बस्‍नलाई कहिलै पनि तेरो निम्‍ति मानिसको अभाव हुनेछैन ।’
17 And now, Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.
अब हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंले आफ्‍नो सेवक दाऊदसित गर्नुभएको प्रतिज्ञा पूरा होस्‌ ।
18 For will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and the heaven of heavens will not suffice you, what then is this house which I have built?
तर के परमेश्‍वर साँच्‍चै नै मानिससित पृथ्‍वीमा बस्‍नुहुन्‍छ र? हेर्नुहोस्, सारा संसार र स्वर्गमा पनि तपाईं अटाउनुहुन्‍न भने—मैले निर्माण गरेको यो मन्‍दिरमा त झन्‌ कति साँगुरो हुन्‍छ होला?
19 Yet you shall have respect to the prayer of your servant, and to my petition, O Lord God, so as to listen to the petition and the prayer which your servant prays before you this day:
तापनि हे परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्‍वर, आफ्‍नो सेवकको यो प्रार्थना र पुकारालाई कदर गर्नुहोस् । तपाईंका सेवकले तपाईंको सामु गर्ने रोदन र प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुहोस् ।
20 so that your eyes should be open over this house by day and by night, towards this place, whereon you said your name should be called, so as to hear the prayer which your servant prays towards this house.
यस मन्‍दिर, अर्थात्, तपाईंले आफ्नो नाम राख्‍ने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको यस ठाउँमा तपाईंका आँखा दिनरात खुला रहोस् । तपाईंको सेवकले यस ठाउँतिर फर्केर गरेको प्रार्थना तपाईंले सुन्‍नुहोस्‌ ।
21 And you shall hear the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, whatever prayers they shall make towards this place: and you shall listen in your dwelling-place out of heaven, yes you shall hear, and be merciful.
यसैले आफ्ना सेवक र तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलले यो ठाउँतिर फर्केर प्रार्थना गर्दा ती बिन्‍तीहरू सुन्‍नुहोस्‌ । हो, त्‍यो ठाउँबाट, तपाईं बस्‍नुहुने स्‍वर्गबाट सुन्‍नुहोस् । अनि तपाईंले सुन्‍नुहुँदा क्षमा गर्नुहोस्‌ ।
22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and he bring an oath upon him so as to make him swear, and he come and swear before the altar in this house;
कुनै मानिसले आफ्‍नो छिमेकीको विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ र शपथ खान पर्‍यो भने, र त्‍यो शपथ यस मन्‍दिरभित्र तपाईंका वेदीको सामुन्‍ने खान्‍छ भने,
23 then shall you listen out of heaven, and do, and judge your servants, to recompense the transgressor, and to return his ways upon his head: and to justify the righteous, to recompense him according to his righteousness.
स्‍वर्गबाट सुन्‍नुहोस् र काम गर्नुहोस्‌ । दोषी मानिसलाई दोषी ठहर्‍याएर र त्‍यसले गरेको कामको प्रतिफल त्‍यसलाई नै दिएर आफ्‍ना सेवकहरूका बीचमा न्‍याय गर्नुहोस्‌ । निर्दोषलाई दोषी नठहराउनुहोस् र त्‍यसको धार्मिकताबमोजिम त्यसलाई प्रतिफल दिनुहोस् ।
24 And if your people Israel should be put to the worse before the enemy, if they should sin against you, and [then] turn and confess to your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
जब तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका कारणले तिनीहरू आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूद्वारा पराजित हुन्‍छन्, अनि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको नाउँ लिंदै यस मन्‍दिरमा तपाईंलाई प्रार्थना र नम्र-निवेदन गर्दै तपाईंतिर फर्कन्‍छन् भने—
25 then shall you listen out of heaven and shall be merciful to the sins of your people Israel, and you shall restore them to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
तब तपाईंले स्‍वर्गबाट तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुहोस्, र आफ्‍ना मानिस इस्राएलको पाप क्षमा गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई तपाईंले दिनुभएको देशमा तिनीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्‍याउनुहोस्‌ ।
26 When heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall have sinned against you, and [when] they shall pray towards this place, and praise your name, and shall turn from their sins, because you shall afflict them;
जब तपाईंका मानिसले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको कारणले आकाश बन्‍द भएर पानी परेको छैन— अनि तिनीहरूले यस ठाउँतर्फ फर्केर तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दु: ख दिनुभएको कारणले तपाईंको नाउँ स्‍वीकार गर्छन् र आफ्‍ना पाप त्‍यागेर यस मन्दिरमा तपाईंको अगाडि प्रार्थना गर्छन् भने—
27 then shall you listen from heaven, and you shall be merciful to the sins of your servants, and of your people Israel; for you shall show them the good way in which they shall walk; and you shall send rain upon your land, which you gave to your people for an inheritance.
तब तपाईंले तिनीहरू हिंड्‍नुपर्ने असल मार्गमा तिनीहरूलाई डोर्‍याउनुहुँदा, स्‍वर्गमा सुन्‍नुहोस्, र आफ्‍ना सेवकहरू र आफ्‍ना मानिस इस्राएलको पाप क्षमा गर्नुहोस्‌ । तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई तपईंले उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा दिनुभएको देशमा झरी पठाउनुहोस् ।
28 If there should be famine upon the land, if there should be death, a pestilent wind an blight; if there should be locust and caterpiller, and if the enemy should harass them before their cities: in whatever plague and whatever distress [they may be];
देशमा अनिकाल परेको छ वा माहामारी फैलेको छ, वा लाही वा ढुसी लाग्‍छ, कि सलह र फटेङ्‌ग्राहरू आउँछन् भने, वा शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूका सहरको मुल ढोकाहरूमा आक्रमण गर्छन् वा कनै पनि किसिमको विपति वा रोग फैलेको छ भने—
29 Then whatever prayer and whatever supplication shall be made by any man and all your people Israel, if a man should know his own plague and his own sickness, and should spread forth his hands towards this house;
अनि कुनै एक जना व्यक्ति वा सारा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले विपत्ति वा दुःखलाई आफ्‍नो हृदयमा जानेर यस मन्‍दिरतिर आफ्‍ना हात फैलाउँछन् ।
30 then shall you hear from heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall be merciful, and shall recompense to the man according to his ways, as you shall know his heart [to be]; for you alone know the heart of the children of men:
तब तपाईं बस्‍नुहुने स्‍वर्गबाट सुन्‍नुहोस्‌ । क्षमा गर्नुहोस्‌ र हरेक व्यक्तिलाई उसका सबै चाल अनुसार प्रतिफल दिनुहोस् । तपाईंलाई त्यसको हृदय थाहा हुन्‍छ, किनभने तपाईंले मात्र मानिसजातिका हृदयहरू जान्‍नुहुन्छ ।
31 that they may reverence all your ways all the days which they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.
यसो गर्नुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको डर मानून्‌ जसले गर्दा तपाईंले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको देशमा तिनीहरू सारा समयभरि तपाईंका मार्गमा हिंड्‍न सकून् ।
32 And every stranger who is not himself of your people Israel, and who shall have come from a distant land because of your great name, and your mighty hand, and your high arm; when they shall come and worship towards this place; —
विदेशीहरू जो तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलका तर तपाईंको महान्‌ नाउँ, तपाईंको शक्तिशाली बाहुली र तपाईंको फैलेको हातका कारणले—आउँछ र यस मन्‍दिरतिर फर्केर त्‍यसले प्रार्थना गर्छ भने,
33 then shall you listen out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for; that all the nations of the earth may know your name, and that they may fear you, as your people Israel [do], and that they may know that your name is called upon this house which I have built.
तब कृपया तपाईं बस्‍नुहुने स्‍वर्गबाट सुन्‍नुहोस् र त्‍यो विदेशीले मागेका सबै कुरा गरिदिनुहोस्, ताकि तपाईंको मानिस इस्राएलले गरेझैं पृथ्‍वीका सबै मानिसले तपाईंको नाउँलाई जानून् र तपाईंको भय मानून्, र मैले बनाएको यस मन्‍दिर तपाईंकै नाउँले बोलाइन्छ भनी तिनीहरूले जानून्‌ ।
34 And if your people shall go forth to war against their enemies by the way by which you shall send them, and shall pray to you towards this city which you have chosen, and [towards] the house which I have built to your name;
जब तपाईंले पठाउनुभएको ठाउँमा तपाईंका मानिसहरू आफ्‍ना कुनै शत्रुहरूसँग लडाइँ गर्न जान्‍छन् र तपाईंले चुन्‍नुभएको यस सहर र मैले तपाईंका नाउँको निम्‍ति बनाएको यस मन्‍दिरतिर फर्केर तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गर्छन् ।
35 then shall you hear out of heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
तब तपाईंले तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना र बिन्‍ती स्‍वर्गबाट सुन्‍नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई मदत गरिदिनुहोस्‌ ।
36 Whereas if they shall sin against you, (for there is no man who will not sin, ) and you shall strike them, and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take them captive shall carry them away into a land of enemies, to a land far off or near;
जब तिनीहरूले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छन्‌— किनकि पाप नगर्ने एक जना पनि छैन— र तिनीहरूसँग तपाईं रिसाउनुहुन्‍छ र तिनीहरूलाई कुनै शत्रुको हातमा सुम्‍पिनुहुन्‍छ, ताकि शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई लान्‍छन् र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍नो देशमा, टाढा वा नजिक कैद गरेर लान्‍छन् ।
37 and [if] they shall repent in their land whither they were carried captive, and shall also turn and make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have transgressed, we have wrought unrighteously;
तब तिनीहरू कैदमा परेको देशमा तिनीहरूले त्‍यो कुरा महसुस गर्छन् र तिनीहरूले पश्‍चात्ताप गर्छन् र आफ्‍नो कैदको देशमा तपाईंको कृपाको खोजी गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले यसो भन्‍छन्, ‘हामीले भ्रष्‍ट किसिमले काम गर्‍यौं र पाप गर्‍यौं । हामीले दुष्‍ट किसिमले व्‍यवहार गर्‍यौं ।’
38 and [if] they shall turn to you with all their heart and all their soul in the land of them that carried them captives, whither they carried them captives, and shall pray towards their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you did choose, and the house which I built to your name: —
जब तिनीहरूलाई उनीहरूले कैद गरेर लगेको देशमा तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना सारा हृदय र आफ्‍ना सारा प्राणले तपाईंतिर फर्किन्‍छन् र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई तपाईंले दिनुभएको देशतिर र तपाईंले चुन्‍नुभएको यो सहरतिर र तपाईंका नाउँको निम्‍ति मैले बनाएको यस मन्‍दिरतिर फर्केर तिनीहरूले तपाईंमा प्रार्थना गर्छन् ।
39 then shall you hear out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplication, and you shall execute justice, and shall be merciful to your people that sin against you.
तब तपाईं बस्‍नुहुने स्‍वर्गबाट तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना र तिनीहरूका बिन्‍ती सुन्‍नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई मदत गरिदिनुहोस्‌ । तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका तपाईंका मानिसलाई क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस्‌ ।
40 And now, Lord, let, I pray you, your eyes be opened, and your ears be attentive to the petition [made in] this place.
अब हे मेरा परमेश्‍वर, यस ठाउँमा चढाइएका प्रार्थनाहरूमा आफ्‍ना आँखा खोल्‍नुहोस्, र आफ्‍ना कान थाप्‍नुहोस् ।
41 And now, O Lord God, arise into your resting-place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, clothe themselves with salvation, and your sons rejoice in prosperity.
हे परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, अब आफ्‍नो विश्रामको ठाउँमा, तपाईं र तपाईंका शक्तिको सन्‍दूकमा उठ्‌नुहोस् । हे परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंका पुजारीहरू उद्धारको वस्‍त्रले पहिराइऊन्, र तपाईंका सन्‍तहरू तपाईंको भलाइमा आनन्‍दित होऊन्‌ ।
42 O Lord God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of your servant David.
हे परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, आफ्‍ना अभिषिक्त जनको मुहार तपाईंबाट नतर्काउनुहोस् । आफ्‍ना सेवक दाऊदसँग तपाईंले गर्नुभएको करार बफादारीतालाई सम्‍झनुहोस्‌ ।
