< 2 Chronicles 1 >
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him to a high degree.
दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमन आफ्नो शासनमा बलियो भएपछि र परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वर तिनको साथमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तिनलाई धेरै शक्तिशाली बनाउनुभयो ।
2 And Solomon gave orders to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and to the rulers, and to the judges of all Israel, and 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 he went with all the multitude to the high place of Gabaon, where was the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, which Moses the servant of God 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 For David had brought the ark of God from Cariathiarim to the place, which he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, 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 altar of brass, which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and all the assembly sought 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 went up thither to the brazen altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up on it a thousand victims.
सोलोमन भेट हुने पालमा परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने भएको काँसाको वेदीमा गए र त्यसमा एक हजार होमबलि चढाए ।
7 And behold that night God appeared to him, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
त्यस रात परमेश्वर सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “माग्, म तँलाई के दिऊँ?”
8 And Solomon said to God: Thou hast shewn great kindness to 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 Now therefore, O Lord God, let thy word be fulfilled, which thou hast promised to David my father: for thou hast made me king over thy great people, which is as innumerable 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 Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great?
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 choice hath pleased thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, and wealth, and glory, nor the lives of them that hate thee, nor many days of life: but hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to be able to judge my people, over which 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 Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee: and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and glory, so that none of the kings before thee, nor after thee, shall be like 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 Then Solomon came from the high place of Gabaon to Jerusalem before the tabernacle of the covenant, and reigned over Israel.
तब सोलोमन गिबोनको अल्गो स्थानको भेट हुने पालबाट यरूशलेममा आए। तिनले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरे ।
14 And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and 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 to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees as sycamores, which grow in the plains in great multitude.
राजाले सुन र चाँदी यरूशलेममा ढुङ्गैसरह बनाए र देवदारुचाहिं तराईमा हुने अन्जीरहरूजस्तै प्रशस्त तुल्याए ।
16 And there were horses brought him from Egypt, and from Coa by the king’s merchants, who went, and bought at a price,
सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्रदेश र क्यूएबाट पैठारी हुन्थे। तिनका व्यापारीहरूले ती क्यूएबाट किनेर ल्याउँथे ।
17 A chariot of four horses for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: in like manner market was made in all the kingdoms of the Hethites, and of the kings of Syria.
तिनीहरूले प्रत्येक रथ सात सय शेकेल चाँदीमा र घोडाचाहिं १५० शेकेल चाँदीमा मिश्रदेशबाट पैठारी गर्थे । तिनीहरूले हित्ती र अरामीहरूका राजाहरूलाई ती निकासी पनि गर्थे ।
