१ राजाहरू 10
1 जब शेबाकी रानीले परमप्रभुको नाउँको सम्बन्धमा सोलोमनको कीर्ति सुनिन्, उनी कठिन प्रश्नहरू लिएर तिनलाई जाँच गर्न आइन् ।
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of YHWH, she came to prove 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 ।
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 talked with him of all that was in her heart.
3 सोलोमनले उनका सबै प्रश्नका जवाफ दिए । उनले सोधेका सबै प्रश्नको राजाले जवाफ दिए ।
Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he did not tell her.
4 जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनका सबै बुद्धि, तिनले बनाएका राजदरबार,
When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, 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 food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cup bearers, and his burnt offerings which he presented at the house of YHWH; it left her breathless.
6 उनले राजालाई भनिन्, “तपाईंका वचन र तपाईंको बुद्धिको बारेमा मैले मेरो देशमा सुनेको कुरो साँचो रहेछ ।
She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
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 ।
However I did not believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it. Look, the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
8 तपाईंका पत्नीहरू कति प्रसन्न होलान्! तपाईंको बुद्धि सुन्न पाएकाले तपाईंको सामु निरन्तर खडा हुने तपाईंका सेवकहरू कति प्रसन्न होलान्!
Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
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 is YHWH your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of YHWH's everlasting love for Israel, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness."
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
She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones. There came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 हीरामका जहाजहरूले पनि ठुलो परिमाणमा चन्दनको काठ र बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू ल्याउँथे ।
The navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees 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 ।
The king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of YHWH, and for the king's house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen, to 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 ।
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 land, she and her servants.
14 सोलोमनकहाँ वर्षेनी आउने गरेको सुनको ओजन तेइस टन थियो ।
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-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 which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
16 सोलोमन राजाले पिटेको सुनबाट दुई सयवटा ठुला-ठुला ढाल बनाए । प्रत्येक ढाल बनाउन साढे तिन किलोग्राम लागेको थियो ।
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to each shield.
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 ।
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 त्यसपछि राजाले हस्ती-हाडको एउटा ठुलो सिंहासन बनाई त्यसलाई सबैभन्दा उत्तम सुनले मोहोरे ।
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
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 ।
There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
20 छवटै खुट्किलाको एक-एकपट्टि एउटा-एउटा सिंह गरी खुट्किलाहरूमा बाह्रवटा सिंह खडा थिए । अन्य कुनै पनि राज्यमा यस्तो किसिमको सिंहासन थिएन ।
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
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 Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and washing 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 not considered anything in the days of Solomon.
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 at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 यसरी सोलोमन राजा धन-सम्पत्ति र बुद्धिमा संसारका सबै राजाभन्दा श्रेष्ठ थिए ।
So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
24 परमेश्वरले सोलोमनको ह्रदयमा हालिदिनुभएको तिनको बुद्धि सुन्नलाई सारा दुनियाँले तिनको उपस्थितिको खोजी गर्थे ।
All the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25 तिनलाई भेट्नेहरूले हरेक वर्ष कोसेली, सुन र चाँदीका भाँडाकुँडाहरू, लुगाहरू, हातहतियार, मसलासाथै घोडा र खच्चरहरू ल्याउँथे ।
They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
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 ।
Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
27 राजाले यरूशलेममा चाँदी जमिनको ढुङ्गासरह बनाए । तिनले देवदारुचाहिँ पहाडका जङ्गली अञ्जीरका बोटहरूसरह प्रशस्त तुल्याए ।
The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
28 सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्र र क्यूएबाट पैठारी गरिन्थे, अनि राजाका व्यापारीहरूले तिनलाई क्यूएबाट किन्ने गर्थे ।
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and Kue; and the king's merchants received them from Kue at 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 ।
And came up and went out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram, they brought them out by their means.
