2 Chronicles 9
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनको ख्यातिको बारेमा सुनिन्, तब कठिन प्रश्नहरू लिएर तिनको जाँच गर्न तिनी यरूशलेममा आइन् । तिनी मसलाहरू, प्रशस्त सुन र धेरै बहुमूल्य रत्नहरूलाई ऊँटहरूमा लदाएर एक अत्यन्तै ठूलो लावालश्करसाथ आइन् । जब तिनी सोलोमनकहाँ आइन्, तब तिनले आफ्नो मनमा भएका सबै कुरा उनलाई भनिन् ।
2 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
सोलोमनले तिनका सबै प्रश्नहरूका जवाफ दिए । सोलोमनको निम्ति कुनै कुरा पनि प्रश्न कठिन भएन । तिनले जवाफ नदिएको कुनै पनि प्रश्न बाँकी रहेन ।
3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनको बुद्धि, र तिनले बनाएको राजमहल देखिन्,
4 the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
तिनको टेबलको भोजन, तिनका सेवकहरूका बसाइ, तिनका सेवकहरूका काम र तिनीहरूका पोशाकहरू, र तिनका मद्य पियाउनेहरू र तिनका पोशाकहरू, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा तिनले चढाएका होमबलिहरू देखिन्, र तिनी आश्चर्यचकित भइन् ।
5 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
तिनले राजालाई भनिन्, “तपाईंका वचन र तपाईंको बुद्धिको विषयमा मैले आफ्नो देशमा सुनेको कुरा साँचो रहेछ ।
6 However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
म यहाँ नआएसम्म मैले जे सुनें त्यो मैले विश्वास गरिनँ, र अहिले मेरा आँखाले यी देखेका छन् । तपाईंको बुद्धि र सम्पत्तिको विषयमा मलाई आधा कुरा पनि भनिएको रहेनछ! तपाईंको ख्याति मैले सुनेको भन्दा बढी रहेछ ।
7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.
तपाईंका मानिसहरू कति धन्यका हुन् र निरन्तर तपाईंको सामु खडा रहने तपाईंका सेवकहरू कति धन्यका हुन् किनभने तिनीहरूले तपाईंका बुद्धिका कुराहरू सुन्न पाउँछन् ।
8 Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for the LORD your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
तपाईंसित प्रसन्न भई तपाईंलाई राजा नियुक्त गरेर उहाँको सिंहासनमा बसाल्नुहुने परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वर धन्यका होउन् । किनभने इस्राएललाई सदाको निम्ति स्थापित गराउनलाई तपाईंका परमेश्वरले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राख्नलाई उहाँले तपाईंलाई तिनीहरूमाथि राजा बनाउनुभयो!”
9 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones. There was never before such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
तिनले राजालाई चार टन सुन, प्रशस्त मात्रामा मसला र बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू दिइन् । सोलोमन राजालाई शेबाकी रानीले दिएको जति धेरै मसलाहरू तिनलाई फेरि कसैले पनि दिएन ।
10 The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
ओपीरबाट सुन ल्याउने हीरामका सेवकहरू र सोलोमनका सेवकहरूले चन्दनको काठ र बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू पनि ल्याए ।
11 The king used algum tree wood to make terraces for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers. There were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
चन्दनका काठबाट राजाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजमहलका सिंढी र संगीतकारहरूका निम्ति वीणा र सारङ्गीहरू पनि बनाए । यहूदा देशमा यसभन्दा अघि कहिल्यै पनि यस्ता काठहरू देखिएका थिएनन् ।
12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, more than that which she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
शेबाकी रानीले जे इच्छा गरिन् र जे मागिन् ती हरेक कुरा सोलोमन राजाले तिनलाई दिए । तिनले राजालाई ल्याएर दिएका थोकभन्दा धेरै तिनले उनलाई दिए । यसरी उनी बिदा भइन् र आफ्ना सेवकहरूका साथ आफ्नो देशमा फर्किन् ।
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
सोलोमनकहाँ हरेक वर्षमा आएको सुनको तौल तेईस टन हुन्थ्यो,
14 in addition to that which the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
यो व्यापारीहरू र कारोवारीले ल्याएका सुनबाहेको थियो । अरब देशका सबै राजा र प्रादेशिक गभर्नरहरूले पनि राजाको निम्ति सुन र चाँदी ल्याए ।
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one large shield.
सोलोमन राजाले पिटेका सुनका दुई सय ठूला ढाल बनाए । प्रत्येक ढाल बनाउन साढे तिन किलोग्राम सुन लागेको थियो ।
16 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
पिटेको सुनका तिन सय साना ढाल पनि तिनले बनाए । प्रत्येक ढालमा करीब डेढ किलोग्राम सुन थियो । राजाले लेबनानको वन भनिने राजमहलमा ती राखे ।
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
तब राजाले हस्ती-हाडको एउटा ठूलो सिंहासन बनाए र त्यसमा निखुर सुनको जलप लगाए ।
18 There were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
सिंहासनमा उक्लने छ वटा खुट्किला थिए, र सुनको एउटा पाउदान सिंहासनसँग जोडिएको थियो । आसनका दुवैतिर हात अड्याउने ठाउँ थिए दुवै छेउमा दुई वटा सिंह खडा थिए ।
19 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. There was nothing like it made in any other kingdom.
छ वटै खुट्किलाका दुवैपट्टि एक-एक वटा गरी जम्मा बाह्र वटा सिंह खडा थिए । कुनै पनि राज्यमा यस्तो किसिमको सिंहासन थिएन ।
20 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. Silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
सोलोमनका पिउने कचौरा सबै सुनका थिए, र लेबनानको वन भनिने राजमहलमा भएका पिउने कचौरा सबै सुनका थिए । चाँदीको केही पनि थिएन, किनभने सोलोमनको समयमा चाँदीलाई बहुमूल्य ठानिइन ।
21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
हिरामका समुद्री जहाजका साथमा राजाका पनि जहाजहरू थिए । हरेक तिन वर्षमा एक पल्ट यी जहाजहरूले सुन, चाँदी, हस्ती-हाड, ढेडुहरू र बाँदरहरू लिएर आउँथ्यो ।
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
यसरी सोलोमन राजाले धन-सम्पत्ति र बुद्धिमा पृथ्वीका अरू सबै राजालाई जितेका थिए ।
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
परमेश्वरले सोलोमनको हृदयमा हालिदिनुभएको तिनको बुद्धि सुन्न पृथ्वीका सबै राजाले तिनको उपस्थितिमा बस्न खोज्थे ।
24 They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules every year.
आउने हरेकले आफ्नो सौगात चाँदी र सुनका भाँडाहरू, लुगाहरू, हातहतियार र मसलाहरू अनि घोडा र खच्चरहरू वर्षैपिच्छे ल्याउँथे ।
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen that he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
सोलोमनसँग आफ्ना घोडा र रथहरूका निम्ति चार हजार तबेला थिए । अनि तिनका बाह्र हजार घोडचडी थिए, जसलाई तिनले रथहरू राख्ने सहरहरूमा र अरूलाई चाहिं आफूसित यरूशलेममा राखे ।
26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
तिनले यूफ्रेटिस नदीदेखि पलिश्तीहरूका देश र मिश्रदेशको सिमानासम्मै राज्य गरे ।
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as abundant as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
राजासँग यरूशलेममा चाँदीचाहिं ढुङ्गैसरह थिए । तिनले देवदारुको काठचाहिं पहाडका जङ्गली अञ्जीरका बोटहरूसरह तुल्याए ।
28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
तिनीहरूले सोलोमनका निम्ति मिश्रदेश र अरू सबै देशबाट घोडाहरू ल्याए ।
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
सोलोमनको शासनकालका अरू घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्मै नातान अगमवक्ताको इतिहास, शीलोनी अहियाहको अगमवाणी र दर्शी इद्दोका दर्शनको पुस्तकमा (जसमा नबातका छोरा यारोबामको विषयमा पनि जानकारी छ) वर्णन गरिएका छैनन् र?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
सोलोमनले यरूशलेममा सारा इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
त्यसपछि तिनी आफ्ना पर्खाहरूसित सुते, र मानिसहरूले तिनका बुबा दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे । तिनका ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा रहबाम राजा भए
