१ राजाहरू 10
1 जब शेबाकी रानीले परमप्रभुको नाउँको सम्बन्धमा सोलोमनको कीर्ति सुनिन्, उनी कठिन प्रश्नहरू लिएर तिनलाई जाँच गर्न आइन् ।
And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions.
2 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 ।
And she came to Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with him of all that was in her heart.
3 सोलोमनले उनका सबै प्रश्नका जवाफ दिए । उनले सोधेका सबै प्रश्नको राजाले जवाफ दिए ।
And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her.
4 जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनका सबै बुद्धि, तिनले बनाएका राजदरबार,
Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,
5 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 ।
And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
6 उनले राजालाई भनिन्, “तपाईंका वचन र तपाईंको बुद्धिको बारेमा मैले मेरो देशमा सुनेको कुरो साँचो रहेछ ।
And shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.
7 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 ।
Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.
8 तपाईंका पत्नीहरू कति प्रसन्न होलान्! तपाईंको बुद्धि सुन्न पाएकाले तपाईंको सामु निरन्तर खडा हुने तपाईंका सेवकहरू कति प्रसन्न होलान्!
Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.
9 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 ।”
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.
10 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
And she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon.
11 हीरामका जहाजहरूले पनि ठुलो परिमाणमा चन्दनको काठ र बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू ल्याउँथे ।
The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones.
12 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 ।
And the King made of ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto this day.
13 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 ।
And King Salomon gaue vnto the Queene of Sheba, whatsoeuer she would aske, besides that, which Salomon gaue her of his kingly liberalitie: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both shee, and her seruantes.
14 सोलोमनकहाँ वर्षेनी आउने गरेको सुनको ओजन तेइस टन थियो ।
Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and six talents of gold,
15 यसबाहेक, पैकारीहरू र व्यापारीहरूले पनि सुन ल्याउँथे । अरब देशका सबै राजा र प्रादेशिक राज्यपालहरूले पनि सोलोमनकहाँ सुनचाँदी ल्याउने गर्थे ।
Besides that he had of marchant men and of the marchandises of them that solde spices, and of all the Kinges of Arabia, and of the princes of the countrey.
16 सोलोमन राजाले पिटेको सुनबाट दुई सयवटा ठुला-ठुला ढाल बनाए । प्रत्येक ढाल बनाउन साढे तिन किलोग्राम लागेको थियो ।
And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:
17 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 ।
And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
18 त्यसपछि राजाले हस्ती-हाडको एउटा ठुलो सिंहासन बनाई त्यसलाई सबैभन्दा उत्तम सुनले मोहोरे ।
Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.
19 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 ।
And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes.
20 छवटै खुट्किलाको एक-एकपट्टि एउटा-एउटा सिंह गरी खुट्किलाहरूमा बाह्रवटा सिंह खडा थिए । अन्य कुनै पनि राज्यमा यस्तो किसिमको सिंहासन थिएन ।
And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
21 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 ।
And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon.
22 हीरामका जहाजहरूसँगै समुद्रमा सोलोमन राजाका पनि जहाजहरू थिए । हरेक तिन वर्षमा एक पटक जहाजहरूले सुन, चाँदी, हस्ति-हाडसाथै ढेडु र बाँदरहरू ल्याउने गर्थे ।
For the King had on the sea the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes.
23 यसरी सोलोमन राजा धन-सम्पत्ति र बुद्धिमा संसारका सबै राजाभन्दा श्रेष्ठ थिए ।
So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.
24 परमेश्वरले सोलोमनको ह्रदयमा हालिदिनुभएको तिनको बुद्धि सुन्नलाई सारा दुनियाँले तिनको उपस्थितिको खोजी गर्थे ।
And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,
25 तिनलाई भेट्नेहरूले हरेक वर्ष कोसेली, सुन र चाँदीका भाँडाकुँडाहरू, लुगाहरू, हातहतियार, मसलासाथै घोडा र खच्चरहरू ल्याउँथे ।
And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, and armour, and sweete odours, horses and mules, from yeere to yeere.
26 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 ।
Then Salomon gathered together charrets and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome hee placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
27 राजाले यरूशलेममा चाँदी जमिनको ढुङ्गासरह बनाए । तिनले देवदारुचाहिँ पहाडका जङ्गली अञ्जीरका बोटहरूसरह प्रशस्त तुल्याए ।
And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.
28 सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्र र क्यूएबाट पैठारी गरिन्थे, अनि राजाका व्यापारीहरूले तिनलाई क्यूएबाट किन्ने गर्थे ।
Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.
29 मिश्रबाट चाँदीका छ सय सिक्कामा एउटा रथ र चाँदीको डेढ सय सिक्कामा एउटा घोडा किनिन्थ्यो । त्यसपछि यीमध्ये धेरैजसो हित्ती र अरामीहरूका राजाहरूलाई बेचिन्थे ।
There came vp and went out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer: that is, one horse, an hundreth and fiftie and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.
