1 Kings 10
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
जब शेबाकी रानीले परमप्रभुको नाउँको सम्बन्धमा सोलोमनको कीर्ति सुनिन्, उनी कठिन प्रश्नहरू लिएर तिनलाई जाँच गर्न आइन् ।
2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
उनी मसलाहरू लादिएका ऊँटहरू, थुप्रै सुन र धेरै बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू लिएर ज्यादै ठुलो लावालश्करसाथ यरूशलेम आइन् । उनी आइपुगेपछि उनले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा भएका सबै कुरा सोलोमनलाई बताइन् ।
3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not [any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
सोलोमनले उनका सबै प्रश्नका जवाफ दिए । उनले सोधेका सबै प्रश्नको राजाले जवाफ दिए ।
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनका सबै बुद्धि, तिनले बनाएका राजदरबार,
5 And the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
तिनको टेबुलको भोजन, तिनका वरिपरि बस्ने अधिकारीहरू, तिनका अधिकारीहरूका काम र तिनीहरूका पोशाक, सेवा टहल गर्ने नोकर-चाकरहरू, तिनले परमप्रभुको घरमा बलिदान गर्ने होमबलिको तरिका देखिन्, तब उनी अवाक् भइन् ।
6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
उनले राजालाई भनिन्, “तपाईंका वचन र तपाईंको बुद्धिको बारेमा मैले मेरो देशमा सुनेको कुरो साँचो रहेछ ।
7 Howbeit, I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen [it]: and behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
म यहाँ नआएसम्म मैले सुनेको कुरामा मैले विश्वास गरिनँ । अब मेरा आफ्नै आँखाले मैले देखेको छु । तपाईंको बुद्धि र धन-सम्पत्तिको बारेमा मलाई आधा मात्र बताइएको रहेछ! तपाईंको कीर्ति मैले सुनेको भन्दा ज्यादा रहेछ ।
8 Happy [are] thy men, happy [are] these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom.
तपाईंका पत्नीहरू कति प्रसन्न होलान्! तपाईंको बुद्धि सुन्न पाएकाले तपाईंको सामु निरन्तर खडा हुने तपाईंका सेवकहरू कति प्रसन्न होलान्!
9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore he made thee king, to do judgment and justice.
परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरको स्तुति होस् जो तपाईंमा प्रसन्न हुनुहुन्छ र जसले तपाईंलाई इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा राख्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई सदाको निम्ति प्रेम गर्नुभएकाले न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम गर्न उहाँले तपाईंलाई राजा बनाउनुभएको छ ।”
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great quantity, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
उनले राजालाई चार टन सुन र प्रशस्त मात्रामा मसलासाथै बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू दिइन् । शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमन राजालाई दिएकी जत्तिकै यति प्रशस्त मसला तिनलाई फेरि कहिल्यै दिइएन । ओपीरबाट सुन ल्याउने
11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
हीरामका जहाजहरूले पनि ठुलो परिमाणमा चन्दनको काठ र बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू ल्याउँथे ।
12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug-trees, nor have they been seen to this day.
राजाले ती चन्दनका काठहरूबाट परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजदरबारका खम्बाहरू बनाउनुका अतिरिक्त गायकहरूका लागि वीणा र सारङ्गीहरू बनाए । चन्दनको काठको यति धेरै परिमाण आजको दिनसम्म फेरि कहिल्यै देखिएको छैन ।
13 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides [that] which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
राजा सोलोमनले शेबाकी रानीले इच्छा गरेकी हरेक थोक दिए । राजाले आफ्नो राजकीय उदारताका अतिरिक्ता उनले मागेकी हरेक कुरा दिए । यसरी उनी आफ्ना सेवकहरूसँगै आफ्नो देशमा फर्किन् ।
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold,
सोलोमनकहाँ वर्षेनी आउने गरेको सुनको ओजन तेइस टन थियो ।
15 Besides [what he had] of the merchants, and of the traffic of the spice-merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
यसबाहेक, पैकारीहरू र व्यापारीहरूले पनि सुन ल्याउँथे । अरब देशका सबै राजा र प्रादेशिक राज्यपालहरूले पनि सोलोमनकहाँ सुनचाँदी ल्याउने गर्थे ।
16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one target.
सोलोमन राजाले पिटेको सुनबाट दुई सयवटा ठुला-ठुला ढाल बनाए । प्रत्येक ढाल बनाउन साढे तिन किलोग्राम लागेको थियो ।
17 And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
तिनले पिटेको सुनका तिन सयवटा स-साना ढाल पनि बनाए । प्रत्येक ढालमा करिब डेढ किलोग्राम सुन लागेको थियो । राजाले तिनलाई लेबनानको वन भनिने राजदरबारमा राखे ।
18 Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
त्यसपछि राजाले हस्ती-हाडको एउटा ठुलो सिंहासन बनाई त्यसलाई सबैभन्दा उत्तम सुनले मोहोरे ।
19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne [was] round behind: and [there were] stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
सिंहासनमा उक्लने छवटा खुड्किला थिए, र यसको पछाडिपट्टि गोलाकार टुप्पो थियो । बस्ने आसनको दुवैपट्टि हात अड्याउने बाहु थिए, र बाहुका छेउ-छेउमा उभिएका एक-एकवटा सिंह थिए ।
20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
छवटै खुट्किलाको एक-एकपट्टि एउटा-एउटा सिंह गरी खुट्किलाहरूमा बाह्रवटा सिंह खडा थिए । अन्य कुनै पनि राज्यमा यस्तो किसिमको सिंहासन थिएन ।
21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels [were of] gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were of] pure gold; none [were of] silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
सोलोमन राजाका सबै पिउने कचौरा सुनका थिए, र लेबनानको वन भनिने राजदरबारका भएका सबै पिउने कचौरा निखुर सुनका थिए । कुनै पनि कचौरा चाँदीको थिएन किनकि सोलोमनको समयमा चाँदीलाई मूल्यवान् ठानिदैनथ्यो ।
22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
हीरामका जहाजहरूसँगै समुद्रमा सोलोमन राजाका पनि जहाजहरू थिए । हरेक तिन वर्षमा एक पटक जहाजहरूले सुन, चाँदी, हस्ति-हाडसाथै ढेडु र बाँदरहरू ल्याउने गर्थे ।
23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
यसरी सोलोमन राजा धन-सम्पत्ति र बुद्धिमा संसारका सबै राजाभन्दा श्रेष्ठ थिए ।
24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
परमेश्वरले सोलोमनको ह्रदयमा हालिदिनुभएको तिनको बुद्धि सुन्नलाई सारा दुनियाँले तिनको उपस्थितिको खोजी गर्थे ।
25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
तिनलाई भेट्नेहरूले हरेक वर्ष कोसेली, सुन र चाँदीका भाँडाकुँडाहरू, लुगाहरू, हातहतियार, मसलासाथै घोडा र खच्चरहरू ल्याउँथे ।
26 And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
सोलोमनले रथहरू र घोडचढीहरू जम्मा गरे । तिनका चौध सयवटा रथ र बाह्र हजार घोडचढी थिए जसलाई तिनले रथ राख्ने सहरहरू र आफूसितै यरूशलेममा पनि राख्ने गर्थे ।
27 And the king made silver [to be] in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made [to be] as the sycamore trees that [are] in the vale, for abundance.
राजाले यरूशलेममा चाँदी जमिनको ढुङ्गासरह बनाए । तिनले देवदारुचाहिँ पहाडका जङ्गली अञ्जीरका बोटहरूसरह प्रशस्त तुल्याए ।
28 And Solomon had horses brought from Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्र र क्यूएबाट पैठारी गरिन्थे, अनि राजाका व्यापारीहरूले तिनलाई क्यूएबाट किन्ने गर्थे ।
29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring [them] out by their means.
मिश्रबाट चाँदीका छ सय सिक्कामा एउटा रथ र चाँदीको डेढ सय सिक्कामा एउटा घोडा किनिन्थ्यो । त्यसपछि यीमध्ये धेरैजसो हित्ती र अरामीहरूका राजाहरूलाई बेचिन्थे ।
