< 2 Chronicles 3 >
1 Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
तब सोलोमनले यरूशलेमको मोरीयाह डाँडामा आफ्ना बुबा दाऊदको सामु परमप्रभु देखा पर्नुभएको ठाउँमा परमप्रभुको मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न सुरु गरे । दाऊले योजना गरेको ठाउँ यबूसी अरौनाको खलामा तिनले त्यो ठाउँ तयार पारे ।
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
तिनले आफ्नो राजकालको चौथो वर्षको दोस्रो महिनाको दोस्रो दिनमा त्यो निर्माण गर्न सुरु गरे ।
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
परमेश्वरको मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न सोलोमनले राखेका जगको क्षेत्रफल यि नै थिए। हातको पुरानो चलनको नापअनुसार लमाइ साठी हात र चौडाइ बीस हात थियो ।
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
मन्दिरको अगाडिको दलानको लमाइ बीस हात लामो थियो, जुन मन्दिरको चौडाइ बराबर थियो । यसको उचाइ पनि बीस हात थियो, र सोलोमनले यसको भित्रपट्टि निखुर सुनको जलप लगाए ।
5 Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
तिनले मुख्य सभाकक्षको सिलिङमा सल्लाका फलेकहरू लगाए, जसमा तिनले निखुर सुनको जलप लगाए। अनि तिनमा खजूरका बोटहरू र सिक्रीहरूका बुट्टा बनाए ।
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
तिनले मन्दिरलाई बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरूले सिंगारे । सुनचाहिं पर्वेमको सुन थियो ।
7 They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
तिनले त्यसका दलिन, सँघार, भित्ता र ढोकाहरूमा सुनको जलप लगाए । तिनले त्यसका भित्ताहरूमा करूबहरू बुट्टा कुँदे ।
8 They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
तिनले महा-पवित्रस्थानको निर्माण गरे । यसको लम्बाइ मन्दिरको चौडाइ बराबर बिस हात र यसको चौडाइ पनि बिस हात थियो । त्यसको भित्रपट्टि तिनले बिस टन निखुर सुनको जलप लगाए ।
9 They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
कीलाहरूको ओजन पचास शेकेल सुनबाट बनेका थिए । तिनले त्यसका माथिल्ला सतहमा पनि सुनको जलप लगाए ।
10 Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
तिनले महा-पवित्रस्थानको निम्ति दुई करूबका प्रतिरूप बनाए । कालिगरहरूले तिनमा सुनको जलप लगाए ।
11 [Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
यी करूबका पखेटाहरू एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म बीस हात लामा थिए । एउटा करूबको एउटा पखेटा कोठाको भित्तालाई छुने गरी पाँच हातको थियो । यसै गरी अर्को पखेटाचाहिं अर्को करूबको पखेटा छुने गरी पाँच हातकै थियो ।
अर्को करूबको एउटा पखेटा मन्दिरको भित्ता छुने गरी पाँच हातको थियो । त्यसको अर्को पखेटाचाहिं अर्को करूबको पखेटा छुने गरी पाँच हातकै थियो ।
13 It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
यी करूबका पखेटा बीस हातसम्म फिंजिएका थिए । करूबहरू आफ्ना खुट्टामा उभिएका थिए, र तिनीहरूका मुख मन्दिरको मुख्य सभा कोठातिर फर्केका थिए ।
14 Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
तिनले नीलो, बैजनी र रातो रङ्गको ऊनी धागो र मलमलको कपडाको पर्दा बनाए, र तिनले त्यसमा बुट्टा भरेका करूबहरू बनाए ।
15 They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
सोलोमनले मन्दिरको अगाडिपट्टिका निम्ति दुई वटा स्तम्भ बनाए, जसमा प्रत्येकको उचाइ पैंतीस हात थियो । तिमाथि भएका स्तम्भ-शिरहरू पाँच हात अल्गा थिए ।
16 The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
तिनले स्तम्भका निम्ति सिक्रीहरू बनाए र ती स्तम्भका टुप्पामा राखे । तिनले सय वटा दारिम पनि बनाए र ती सिक्रीहरूमा जोडे ।
17 They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
तिनले मन्दिरको अगाडि ती दुई वटा स्तम्भ खडा गरे, एउटा दाहिनेपट्टि र अर्को देब्रेपट्टि स्तम्भहरू खडा गरे । दाहिनेपट्टिको स्तम्भको नाउँ तिनले याकीन र देब्रेपट्टिको स्तम्भको नाउँ बोअज राखे ।
