2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
१परमेश्वराचे मंदिर आणि आपले घर बांधायला शलमोनाला वीस वर्षे लागली.
2 Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
२मग हिरामाने दिलेली नगरे शलमोनाने वसविली त्या नगरांमध्ये काही इस्राएल लोकांस वस्ती करण्यास मुभा दिली.
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
३पुढे शलमोनाने, हमाथ-सोबा हे नगर जिंकून घेतले.
4 His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
४वाळवंटातील तदमोर, हे नगरही त्याने वसवले कोठारांसाठी म्हणून त्याने हमाथामधली नगरे बांधली.
5 They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
५वरचे बेथ-होरोन आणि खालचे बेथ होरोन यांचीही उभारणीही शलमोनाने केली ती त्याने भक्कम तटबंदीची नगरे केली त्यांना मजबूत कोट, वेशी आणि अडसर करून,
6 They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
६बालाथ नगर व अन्य कोठारे असलेली गावे यांची शलमोनाने पुनर्रचना केली. रथ ठेवण्यासाठी तसेच घोडेस्वारांच्या वस्तीसाठीही त्याने गावे वसवली. यरूशलेम, लबानोन व आपल्या आधिपत्याखालील सर्व प्रदेशात शलमोनाने आपल्या गरजेनुसार बांधकामे केली.
7 Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
७इस्राएल लोक राहत असलेल्या प्रदेशात अनेक परके लोकही होते. ते म्हणजे हित्ती, अमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी आणि यबूसी त्यांना शलमोनाने वेठबिगार केले.
8 They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
८हे लोक मूळचे इस्राएल नव्हते या प्रदेशात राहून गेलेल्या लोकांचे ते वंशज होते आणि इस्राएल लोकांनी त्यांना अजून नष्ट केले नव्हते. ते अजूनही आहेत.
9 But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
९इस्राएल लोकांपैकी कोणालाही शलमोनाने वेठबिगारीसाठी सक्ती केली नाही. ते त्याचे योध्दे होते. ते सैन्याधिकारी, रथाधिपती, स्वारांचे अधिकारी असे होते.
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
१०काही इस्राएली लोक तर शलमोनाच्या अधिकाऱ्यांवर अंमल गाजवणारे होते. असे प्रमुख अधिकारी अडीचशे होते.
11 Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
११शलमोनाने फारोच्या कन्येला, तिच्यासाठी बांधलेल्या महालात दावीद नगराहून आणले. शलमोन म्हणाला, “ज्या ज्याठिकाणी परमेश्वराचा करार कोश ठेवण्यात आला, ती सर्व स्थाने पवित्र आहेत, तेव्हा माझ्या पत्नीने इस्राएलचा दावीद याच्या नगरात राहू नेये.”
12 On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
१२मग शलमोनाने वेदीवर परमेश्वरास होमार्पणे केली. मंदिराच्या प्रवेशमंडपासमोरच शलमोनाने ती वेदी बांधली होती.
13 He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
१३मोशेच्या आज्ञेप्रमाणे शलमोन रोज होमार्पणे करी शब्बाथाच्या दिवशी, नवचंद्र दर्शनीला, वर्षभरातल्या तीन सणांना होमार्पणे करायची असत. बेखमीर भाकरीचा सण, सप्ताहांचा सण, आणि मंडपाचा सण हे तीन वार्षिक सण होत.
14 Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
१४आपल्या पित्याच्या सूचना शलमोनाने तंतोतंत पाळल्या परमेश्वराच्या सेवेसाठी त्याने याजकवर्गाच्या नेमणुका केल्या लेवींना त्यांची कामे पार पाडायला नेमले. स्तुतिगीते म्हणणे आणि मंदिराच्या चाकरीतील रोजची सेवाकार्ये बजावण्यात याजकांना मदत करणे ही लेवीची कामे होती. याखेरीज शलमोनाने प्रत्येक प्रवेशद्वाराशी द्वारपालांच्या गटांच्या नेमणुका केल्या. परमेश्वरास मानणाऱ्या दाविदाने अशाच सूचना दिल्या होत्या.
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
१५याजक आणि लेवी यांना शलमोनाने ज्या सूचना दिल्या त्यामध्ये इस्राएल लोकांनी बदल केला नाही की आज्ञाभंग केला नाही. मौल्यवान वस्तू जतन करण्याविषयीच्या आज्ञांचाही त्यांनी बदल केला नाही.
16 They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
१६शलमोनाची सगळी कामे सिध्दीस गेली. मंदिराच्या कामाला सुरुवात केल्यापासून ते संपेपर्यंत त्यांचे व्यवस्थित नियोजन केले होते. अशा रीतीने परमेश्वराच्या मंदिराचे काम पूर्ण झाले, व ते उपयोगात आणले जाऊ लागले.
17 Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
१७यानंतर शलमोन लाल समुद्रानजीकच्या अदोम देशातील एसयोन-गेबेर आणि एलोथ या नगरांत गेला.
18 King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
१८हिरामाने त्याच्याकडे आपली गलबते पाठवली. समुद्रपर्यटनात तरबेज अशा हिरामाच्या सेवकांनीच ती नेली. शलमोनाच्या चाकरीतील लोकांबरोबर, हे सेवक ओफिर येथे गेले, आणि तेथून चारशे पन्नास किक्कार सोने आणून, त्यांनी ते शलमोनाला दिले.
