१ इतिहास 29
1 राजा दाऊदले सारा सभालाई भने, “परमेश्वरले चुन्नुभएको मेरा छोरो सोलोमन अहिले पनि सानै छ र कामचाहिं महान् छ । किनकि यो मन्दिर मानिसहरूका निम्ति होइन तर परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको निम्ति हो ।
Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
2 यसैले मेरा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको निम्ति सामाग्री जुटाउन मैले सकेसम्म प्रयास गरेको छु । सुनबाट बनाइने कुराहरूका निम्ति सुन, चाँदीबाट बनाइने कुराहरूका निम्ति चाँदी, काँसाबाट बनाइने कुराहरूका निम्ति काँसा, फलामबाट बनाइने कुराहरूका निम्ति फलाम, र काठबाट बनाइने कुराहरूका निम्ति काठ म दिंदैछु । पत्थरको कामको निम्ति आनिक्स, फिरोजा, विभिन्न रङ्गका पत्थरहरू— सबै किसिमका बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू पनि म प्रशस्त मात्रामा दिंदैछु ।
From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
3 अब, मेरा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा मेरो आनन्दको कारणले यसको निम्ति आफ्नो निजी भण्डारबाट सुन र चाँदी म दिंदैछु । यस पवित्र मन्दिरको निम्ति मैले तयार गरेका सबै कुराहरूमा अरू थपः
In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
4 ओपिरको सुन तिन हजार तोडा र भित्तामा जलप लागाउनका निम्ति सात हजार तोडा निखुर चाँदी म दिंदैछु ।
I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
5 सुनबाट बनाउने कुराहरूका निम्ति सुन र चाँदीबाट बनाउने कुराहरूका निम्ति चाँदी, र अनि निपुण कारीगरले गर्ने कामलाई चाहिने सबै किसिमका कुराहरू म दिंदैछु । आज परमप्रभुलाई योगदान गर्न र आफैलाई उहाँमा अर्पण गर्न इच्छा गर्ने अरू कोही छ?”
for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
6 तब आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परिवारका अगुवाहरू, इस्राएलका कुलहरूका अगुवाहरू, हजार र सयका कमाण्डरहरू र राजाका सेवाको जिम्मामा रहेका अधिकारीहरूले स्वइच्छा भेटी चढाए ।
Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
7 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको सेवाको निम्ति पाँच हजार तोडा र असी किलोग्राम सुन, दस हजार तोडा चाँदी, अठार हजार तोडा काँसो र एक लाख तोडा फलाम दिए ।
For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
8 बहुमूल्या रत्नहरू आफूसँग भएकाहरूले ती गेर्शोनका सन्तान यहीएलको जिम्मामा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका भण्डारको निम्ति दिए ।
And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
9 यी स्वइच्छा भेटीका कारणले मानिसहरूले आनन्द मनाए, किनभने तिनीहरूले सम्पूर्ण हृदयले परमप्रभुको निम्ति दिएका थिए । दाऊद राजा पनि साह्रै आनन्दित भए ।
The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
10 दाऊदले सबै सभाको उपस्थितिमा परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिए । तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वर, सदासर्वदा तपाईंको प्रशंसा होस् ।
Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
11 हे परमप्रभु, महान्ता, शक्ति, महिमा, विजय र ऐश्वर्य तपाईंकै हुन् । किनकि आकाश र पृथ्वीमा भएका सबै कुरा तपाईंकै हुन् । हे परमप्रभु, राज्य तपाईंकै हो, र तपाईं नै सबैभन्दा माथिको शासकको रूपमा उच्च पारिनुभएको छ ।
You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
12 धन र मान दुबै तपाईंबाट नै आउँछन्, र तपाईंले सबै मानिसमाथि राज्य गर्नुहुन्छ । पराक्रम र शक्ति तपाईंकै बाहुलीमा छन् । मानिसहरूलाई उच्च पार्न र शक्ति दिन तपाईंकै हातमा बल र शक्ति छन् ।
Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
13 अब हे हाम्रा परमेश्वर, हामी तपाईंलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छौं, र तपाईंको महिमित नाउँको प्रशंसा गर्छौं ।
So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
14 तर म को हुँ, र मेरा मानिसहरू को हुन् र हामीले स्वइच्छाले यी कुराहरू दिन सक्छौं? वास्तवमा सबै कुरा तपाईंबाटै आउँछन्, र तपाईंका जे हुन् ती तपाईंलाई हामीले फिर्ता दिएका मात्रै हौं ।
But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
15 किनकि तपाईंको सामु हामी परदेशी र घुमन्तेहरू हौं । हाम्रा सबै पुर्खाहरू पनि त्यस्तै थिए । पृथ्वीमा हाम्रा दिन छायाजस्तो हो र पृथ्वीमा रहिरहने आशा छँदैछैन ।
[In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
16 हे परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर, तपाईंको पवित्र नाउँका सम्मान गर्न मन्दिर बनाउन हामीले जम्मा गरेका यी सबै धन तपाईंबाट नै आउँछन्, र तपाईंकै हुन् ।
Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
17 हे मेरा परमेश्वर, म यो पनि जान्दछु कि तपाईंले हृदयको जाँच गर्नुहुन्छ, र सोझोपनामा खुशी हुनुहुन्छ । मेरो बारेमा, मेरो हृदयको सोझोपनामा मैले स्वइच्छाले यी सबै कुराहरू तपाईंमा चढाएको छु, र यहाँ उपस्थित तपाईंका मानिसहरूले स्वइच्छाले चढाएको कुरा देखेर म आनन्दित भएको छु ।
My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
18 हे परमप्रभु, हाम्रा पुर्खा अब्राहाम, इसहाक र इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, यस्तो विचारको मन तपाईंका मानिसहरूमा सधैंभरि रहोस् । तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई तपाईंतिर लगाउनुहोस् ।
Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
19 मेरा छोरा सोलोमनलाई तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू, तपाईंका धार्मिक नियमहरू र तपाईंका विधिहरू भक्तिसाथ पालन र मैले जुटाएका कुराले एउटा स्थान बनाउने योजना पुरा गर्न सम्पूर्ण हृदयको इच्छा दिनुहोस् ।”
And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
20 दाऊदले सम्पूर्ण सभालाई भने, “अब परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद देओ ।” सम्पूर्ण समुदायले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिए, आफ्ना शिर निहुराएर परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे र राजाको सामु घोप्टो परेर दण्डवत् गरे ।
Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
21 भोलिपल्ट तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान गरे, र उहाँलाई होमबलि चढाए । तिनीहरूले एक हजार साँढे, एक हजार भेडा, एक हजार थुमा, र तिनका साथै आफ्ना अर्घबलि र सबै इस्राएलको निम्ति अरू प्रशस्त बलिदान चढाए ।
The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
22 त्यो दिनमा, तिनीहरूले ठुलो उत्सव मनाउँदै परमप्रभुको सामु त्यस दिन खाए र पिए । तिनीहरूले दोस्रो पटक दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमनलाई राजा बनाए, र परमप्रभुको अधिकारमा तिनलाई राजा अभिषेक गरे । तिनीहरूले सादोकलाई पूजाहारी अभिषेक पनि गरे ।
On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
23 त्यसपछि सोलोमन आफ्ना पिता दाऊदको सट्टा परमप्रभुको सिंहासनमा राजा भएर बसे । तिनको उन्नति भयो र सबै इस्राएलले तिनको हुकुम पालन गरे ।
So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
24 सबै अगुवाहरू, सेनाहरू, र दाऊद राजाका सबै छोराहरूले पनि सोलोमन राजालाई आफ्नो राजभक्ति देखाए ।
King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
25 सारा इस्राएलका नजरमा परमप्रभुले सोलोमनलाई सम्मानित तुल्याउनुभयो र तिनी अघिका इस्राएलका राजाको भन्दा महान् शक्ति उहाँले तिनलाई दिनुभयो ।
Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
26 यिशैका छोरा दाऊदले सारा इस्राएलमाथि राज्य गरे ।
Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
27 दाऊदले इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्षसम्म राज्य गरे । तिनले हेब्रोनमा सात वर्ष र यरूशलेममा तेत्तिस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
28 तिनी दिर्घ जीवन, धन-सम्पत्ति र मानमा आनन्द भई वृद्धावस्थामा मरे । तिनीपछि तिनका छोरा सोलोमन राजा भए ।
He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
29 शमूएल अगमवक्ताको इतिहास, नतान अगमवक्ता इतिहास र गाद अगमवक्ताका इतिहासमा दाऊद राजाका उपलब्धिहरूका बारेमा लेखिएका छन् ।
A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
30 त्यहाँ तिनको शासनको समयका कामहरू, तिनका उपलब्धिहरू र तिनलाई असर पारेका घटनाहरू, इस्राएल, र अन्य देशका राज्यहरूको बारेमा त्यहाँ लेखिएका छन् ।
They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
