2 Chronicles 7
1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from the sky and burned all the offerings and sacrifices [that were on the altar], and the glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple.
यति बेला जब सोलोमनले प्रार्थना गरेर सकेका थिए, तब स्वर्गबाट आगो तल झर्यो, र होमबलि र बलिदानहरू भस्म गर्यो, अनि परमप्रभुको महिमाले मन्दिर भरियो ।
2 The radiance [was extremely bright], with the result that the priests could not enter the temple of Yahweh.
परमप्रभुको महिमाले उहाँको मन्दिर भरिएको हुनाले पुजारीहरू मन्दिरभित्र पस्न सकेनन् ।
3 When all the Israeli people [who were there] saw the fire coming down and the glory of Yahweh above the temple, they prostrated themselves with their faces touching the ground. They worshiped and thanked Yahweh, singing, “Yahweh is always good to us; he faithfully loves us forever.”
आगो तल झरेको र परमप्रभुको महिमा मन्दिरमा भएको जब सबै इस्राएलीले देखे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना अनुहारहरू ढुङ्गाको छपनीमा घोप्टो पारे र आराधना गरे र परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिए । तिनीहरूले भने, “उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँको करारको बफादारीता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।”
4 Then the king and all the people who were there dedicated the temple to Yahweh by offering more sacrifices to him. King Solomon gave 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats to be sacrificed.
यसरी राजा र सबै मानिसले परमप्रभुलाई बलिदानहरू चढाए ।
सोलोमन राजाले बाईस हजार साँढे र एक लाख बीस हजार भेडा-बाख्रा बलि चढाए । यसरी राजा र सबै मानिसले परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको समर्पण गरे ।
6 The priests stood in their positions, and the other descendants of Levi stood in their positions holding the musical instruments [to praise] Yahweh, instruments that King David had caused to be made for praising Yahweh and thanking him. [They sang], “He faithfully loves us forever.” Facing the other descendants of Levi the priests stood, blowing their trumpets, while all the Israeli people were standing [and listening].
पुजारीहरू प्रत्येक आफूले सेवा गर्ने ठाउँमा उभिएर खडा भएर । लेवीहरू पनि परमप्रभुको संगीतका बाजाहरू लिएर खडा भए, जसलाई दाऊद राजाले गीतद्वारा परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिनको निम्ति बनाएका थिए, “उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।” तिनीहरूका सामु सबै पुजारीले आआफ्ना तुरही बजाए, र सबै इस्राएली खडा भए ।
7 Solomon dedicated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple. Then he gave offerings to be completely burned there along with the fat of the animals to be sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. The priests burned them there in the courtyard because in addition to those things there were offerings of grain, with the result that there was not enough space on the bronze altar to burn all those sacrifices.
सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सामुन्नेको चोकको मध्य भागलाई अलग गरे । त्यहाँ तिनले होमबलिहरू र मेलबलिहरूका बोसोको भाग चढाए, किनभने तिनले बनाएको काँसाको वेदीमा होमबलि, अन्नबलि र बोसोका भागहरू अटाएनन् ।
8 Solomon [and the other people] celebrated the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days. There was a huge group of people who celebrated with him. Some of them came from [as far away as] Lebo-Hamath [in the far north] and the border of Egypt [in the far south].
यसरी सोलोमन र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएली, लेबो-हमातदेखि मिश्रदेशको खोलासम्मको एउटा ठूलो समुदायले त्यस बेला सात दिनसम्म चाड मनाए ।
9 On the eighth/next day they gathered again [to worship Yahweh]. They had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days.
आठौं दिनमा तिनीहरूले धार्मिक सभा राखे, किनकि तिनीहरूले वेदीका समर्पणको सेवा सात दिनसम्म र चाड सात दिनसम्म मानेका थिए ।
10 Then on the next day Solomon sent them to their homes. They were very joyful because of all the good things that Yahweh had done for David and Solomon and for all his Israeli people.
परमप्रभुले दाऊद र सोलोमन र आफ्ना मानिस इस्राएललाई दिनुभएका सबै सुदिनको कारणले खुशी र आनन्दित हृदयहरूका साथ सातौं महिनाको तेईसौं दिनमा सोलोमनले मानिसहरूलाई आआफ्ना घर पठाइदिए ।
11 Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple and Solomon’s palace. And Solomon finished doing everything else that he had planned to do.
यसरी सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र तिनको आफ्नै राजमहल बनाइसके । परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र तिनको आफ्नो राजमहल बनाउनको निम्ति तिनको हृदयमा आएका हरेक कुरा तिनले सफलतापूर्वक पूरा गरे ।
12 Then Yahweh appeared to him one night [in a dream] and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this temple to be the place where my people will offer sacrifices to me.
परमप्रभु राती सोलोमोनकहाँ देखा परेर तिनलाई भन्नुभयोः “मैले तेरो प्रार्थना सुनेको छु, र बलिदानको मन्दिरको रूपमा यो स्थानलाई मैले आफ्नो बासस्थानको निम्ति चुनेको छु ।
13 “When I prevent any rain from falling, or when I command locusts to eat all the crops, or when I send a plague among my people,
मैले आकाशलाई बन्द गरें र पानी परेन भने, वा देशलाई नष्ट गर्न भनी सलहहरूलाई मैले आज्ञा दिएँ भने, वा मेरो मानिसमाथि मैले विपत्ति पठाएँ भने,
14 if the people who belong to me humble themselves and pray, and request me to help them, and if they turn away from their sinful behavior, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive them for having sinned and I will cause them to prosper again.
तब मेरो आफ्नै नाउँ दिइएको मेरा मानिसहरूले आफैलाई नम्र पार्छन्, प्रार्थना गर्छन्, मेरो मुहारको खोजी गर्छन् र आफ्ना दुष्ट चालहरूबाट फर्किन्छ्न् भने, म स्वर्गबाट सुन्नेछु, तिनीहरूका पाप क्षमा गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका देशलाई निको पार्नेछु ।
15 I [SYN] will see them and I [SYN] will hear them when they pray to me in this place.
यस ठाउँमा गरिएका प्रार्थनातिर अब मेरा आँखा खुला हुनेछन् र मेरा कानले सुन्नेछन् ।
16 I have chosen and have (set apart/dedicated) this temple in order that people may worship [MTY] me there forever. I will always watch over [MTY] it and protect [IDM] it.
किनकि अब मैले यस मन्दिरलाई चुनेको छु र त्यसलाई अलग गरेको छु ताकि त्यहाँ सदासर्वदा मेरो नाउँ रहोस् । मेरो दृष्टि र मेरो हृदय हरेक दिन त्यहाँ रहनेछ ।
17 “And as for you, if you obey me as David your father did, and if you do all that I command you to do, and obey all my laws and decrees,
तेरो बारेमाचाहिं, मैले तँलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा पालन गरेर र मेरा विधिहरू र आदेशहरू पालन गरेर तेरा बुबा दाऊद मेरो दृष्टिमा हिंडेझैं हिंडिस् भने,
18 I will make sure that your descendants will always be kings, which is what I promised to David your father, saying, ‘Some of your descendants will always be the kings of Israel.’
तब तेरो राज्यको सिंहासन म स्थापित गर्नेछु, जसरी मैले तेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई यसो भनेर करारद्वारा प्रतिज्ञा गरेको थिएँ, ‘इस्राएलमाथि राज्य गर्न तेरा सन्तानहरूको अभाव हुनेछैन’ ।’
19 “But if you Israelis turn away from me and disobey the decrees and commands that I have given to you, and you start to worship other gods,
तर मैले तँलाई दिएका मेरा विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू पालन गरिनस् र ती त्यागिस् र तँ गएर अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गरिस् र तिनीहरूका सामु दण्डवत् गरिस् भने,
20 I will cause you to be expelled from this land that I have given to you, and I will abandon this temple that I have set apart to be the place where people should worship me. I will cause it to be despised and ridiculed by people of all nations.
तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिएको मेरो देशबाट म तिनीहरूलाई जरैसमेत उखेलिदिनेछु । मेरो नाउँ रहनलाई मैले अलग गरेको यस मन्दिरलाई म त्याग्नेछु, र सबै मानिसका बिचमा म त्यसलाई एउटा उखान र गिल्लाको पात्र बनाउनेछु ।
21 Although this temple is now greatly respected, when that happens, all the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done terrible things like this to this country and to this temple?’
अहिले यो मन्दिर ज्यादै गौरवशाली भए तापनि, यसलाई देखेर आउनेजाने हरेक मानिस अवाक् भएर सुस्केरा निकाल्नेछ । तिनीहरूले सोध्नेछन्, ‘परमप्रभुले किन यस देश र यस मन्दिरसित यस्तो गर्नुभयो?’
22 And others will reply, ‘It happened because they rejected Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they have been worshiping other gods and trying to please them. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
अरूले यस्तो जवाफ दिनेछन्, ‘किनभने तिनीहरूले आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई त्यागे जसले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो । अनि तिनीहरूले अरू देवताहरू स्थापना गरे र तिनीहरूको सामु दण्डवत गरे र तिनीहरूको पुजा गरे । यसैकारण परमप्रभुले यी सबै विपत्ति तिनीहरूमाथि ल्याउनुभयो ।’”
