१ राजाहरू 11

1 अब राजा सोलोमनले फारोकी छोरीलगायत मोआबी, अम्मोनी, सीदोनी र हित्तीजस्ता धेरै विदेशी स्त्रीहरूलाई प्रेम गरे ।

Now King Solomon loved many foreign women including the daughter of Pharaoh—women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.

2 तिनीहरू त्यस्ता जातिहरूका थिए जसको बारेमा परमप्रभुले इस्राएललीहरूलाई भन्नुभएको थियो, “विवाह गर्न तिनीहरूका बिचमा नजाओ, न त तिनीहरू तिमीहरूका बिचमा आऊन् किनकि निश्चय नै, तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका ह्रदय तिनीहरूका देवताहरूतर्फ फर्काउने छन् ।” यस आज्ञाको बाबजुत पनि सोलोमन यी स्त्रीहरूप्रति मोहित भए ।

They were from the nations about which Yahweh said to the people of Israel, “You will not go among them to marry, neither will they come among you, for they will certainly turn your heart to their gods.” In spite of this command, Solomon was affectionate toward these women in love.

3 सोलोमनका सात सय जना राजकीय पत्नी र तिन सय जना उपपत्नी थिए । तिनका पत्नीहरूले तिनको ह्रदयलाई बहकाइदिए ।

Solomon had seven hundred royal wives and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.

4 किनकि जब सोलोमन वृद्ध भए तिनका पत्नीहरूले तिनको ह्रदयलाई अन्य देवताहरूतर्फ फर्काइदिए । तिनको ह्रदय तिनका पिता दाऊदको ह्रदयजस्तै परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वरतर्फ पूर्ण रूपमा समर्पित भएन ।

For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; his heart was not fully surrendered to Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.

5 किनकि सोलोमन सीदोनीहरूकी देवी अश्तोरेत र अम्मोनीहरूको घिनलाग्दो देवता मोलोखको पछि लागे ।

For Solomon followed Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and he followed Molech, the disgusting idol of the Ammonites.

6 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गरे । तिनले आफ्ना पिता दाऊदले गरेझैँ पूर्ण रूपमा परमप्रभुलाई पछ्याएनन् ।

Solomon did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did not fully follow Yahweh as David his father had done.

7 तब सोलोमनले मोआबको घृणित देवता कमोश र अम्मोनीहरूको घृणित देवता मोलोखको निम्ति यरूशलेमको पूर्वपट्टिको डाँडामा पुजा गर्ने अग्लो स्थान बनाए ।

Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting idol of Moab, on a hill east of Jerusalem, and also for Molech, the disgusting idol of the people of Ammon.

8 तिनले आफ्ना सबै विदेशी पत्नीका निम्ति पनि पुजा गर्ने अग्लो स्थानहरू बनाए जसले त्यहाँ तिनीहरूका देवताहरूलाई धूप बाल्ने र बलिदान चढाउने गर्थे ।

He also built high places for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods at them.

9 परमप्रभु सोलोमनसित रिसाउनुभयो, किनकि तिनको ह्रदय इस्राएलका परमेश्वरबाट तर्केर गएको थियो यद्यपि उहाँ तिनीकहाँ दुई पटक देखा पर्नुभएको थियो,

Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from him, the God of Israel, even though he had appeared to him twice

10 र यसै विषयमा अर्थात् तिनी अरू देवताहरूको पछि लाग्न हुँदैन भनी उहाँले तिनलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो । तर सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा मानेनन् ।

and commanded him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods. But Solomon did not obey what Yahweh commanded.

11 त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले सोलोमनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले यसो गरेको कारण र तैँले मेरो करार र मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेका मेरा विधिविधानहरू पालन नगरेकोले निश्चय नै म यो राज्य तँबाट खोसेर तेरो दासलाई दिने छु ।

Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept the covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and give it to your servant.

12 तथापि तेरा पिता दाऊदको खातिर म तेरो जीवनकालमा यसो गर्दिनँ, तर तेरो छोरोको पालमा त्यसको हातबाट म यसलाई विभाजन गरिदिने छु ।

However, for David your father's sake, I will not do it in your lifetime, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

13 तापनि म सबै राज्य खोस्दिनँ । मेरा दास दाऊदको खातिर र मैले चुनेको यरूशलेमको खातिर म एउटा कुल तेरो छोरोलाई दिने छु ।”

Yet I will not tear away all the kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

14 तब परमप्रभुले सोलोमनको विरुद्धमा एदोमी हददलाई विरोधीको रूपमा उठाउनुभयो । तिनी एदोमको राजकीय घरानाका थिए ।

Then Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was from the royal family of Edom.

15 दाऊद एदोममा छँदा सेनापति योआब मरेकाहरूको लाश गाड्न एदोममा उक्लेका थिए जहाँ हरेक पुरुष मारिएको थियो ।

When David was in Edom, Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the dead, every man who had been killed in Edom.

16 योआबले एदोमको हरेक पुरुषलाई नमारुञ्जेल तिनी र इस्राएल त्यहाँ छ महिनासम्म बसेका थिए ।

Joab and all Israel remained there six months until he had killed every male in Edom.

17 तर त्यस बेला हदद बालक भएकोले आफ्ना पिताका सेवकहरूद्वारा तिनलाई अन्य एदोमीहरूसँगै मिश्रमा लगिएको थियो ।

But Hadad was taken with other Edomites by his father's servants into Egypt, since Hadad was still a little child.

18 तिनीहरू मिद्यानबाट निस्केर पारानमा आइपुगे जहाँबाट तिनीहरूले आफूसँगै केही मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रका राजा फारोकहाँ लिएर गए । फारोले तिनलाई एउटा घर, देश र भोजन जुटाइदिएका थिए ।

They left Midian and came to Paran, from where they took men with them to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and land and food.

19 हददले फारोको दृष्टिमा ठुलो निगाह पाए र फारोले तिनलाई आफ्नी पत्नी तहपेनस रानीकी एउटी बहिनीसित विवाह गरिदिए ।

Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that Pharaoh gave him a wife, his own wife's sister, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

20 तहपेनसकी बहिनीले हददबाट एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई गनूबत नाम राखे । तहपेनसले तिनलाई फारोको राजदरबारमा हुर्काइन् । त्यसैले गनूबत फारोका छोराछोरीहरूका बिचमा राजदरबारमा हुर्किए ।

The sister of Tahpenes gave birth to Hadad's son. They named him Genubath. Tahpenes raised him in Pharaoh's palace. So Genubath lived in Pharaoh's palace among the children of Pharaoh.

21 तिनी मिश्रमा छँदा दाऊद आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित मिल्न गए र सेनापति योआब मरे भनी जब हददले सुने तिनले फारोलाई भने, “मेरो आफ्नै देशमा जानलाई मलाई अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।”

While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David had lain down with his ancestors and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, so I may go to my own country.”

22 तब फारोले तिनलाई भने, “तर तिमीलाई यहाँ मसित केको अभाव छ र तिमी आफ्नै देशमा जान खोज्छौ?” हददले जवाफ दिए, “कुनै कुराको अभाव छैन । कृपया, मलाई जान दिनुहोस् ।”

Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that you now seek to go to your own country?” Hadad answered, “Nothing. Please let me go.”

23 परमेश्वरले सोलोमनको विरुद्धमा एल्यादाका छोरा रेसोनलाई पनि विरोधीको रूपमा उठाउनुभयो । तिनी आफ्ना मालिक सोबाका राजा हददेजेरबाट भागेका थिए ।

God also raised up another adversary to Solomon, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Hadadezer king of Zobah.

24 दाऊदले सोबाका मानिसहरूलाई पराजित गर्दा रेसोनले आफ्ना लागि मानिसहरू भेला गरे र तिनी सानो मोर्चाका सेनापति बनेका थिए । रेसोनका मानिसहरू दमस्कस गए, र त्यहीँ बसोबास गरे । यसरी रेसोनले दमस्कसलाई नियन्त्रणमा लिए ।

Rezon gathered men to himself and became captain over a small force, when David defeated the men of Zobah. Rezon's men went to Damascus and lived there, and Rezon controlled Damascus.

25 तिनी सोलोमनको जीवनभर इस्राएलका शत्रु थिए, र हददले पुर्‍याउएको सङ्कष्टमा तिनले पनि साथ दिए । रेसोन इस्राएललाई घृणा गर्थे र तिनले अराममाथि शासन गरे ।

He was an enemy of Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the trouble that Hadad caused. Rezon abhorred Israel and reigned over Aram.

26 तब नबातका छोरा यारोबाम पनि राजाको विरुद्धमा बागी भए । तिनी सोलोमनका एक जना अधिकारी जेरेदाका एफ्राइमी थिए । तिनकी विधवा आमा सेरूआ थिइन् ।

Then Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, an official of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.

27 तिनी राजाको विरुद्धमा उठे किनकि सोलोमनले टेवा दिने गाराहरू बनाएका थिए, र आफ्ना पिता दाऊदको सहरको पर्खालमा प्रवेशद्वार मर्मत गरेका थिए ।

He lifted up his hand against the king because Solomon had built up the place located at Millo and repaired the opening in the city wall of David his father.

28 यारोबाम एक शक्तिशाली मानिस थिए । तिनी मेहनती भएको देखेर सोलोमनले तिनलाई योसेफका घरानाका सारा बेगार काम गर्नेहरूमाथि तिनलाई नाइके तुल्याएका थिए ।

Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, so he gave him command over all the labor of the house of Joseph.

29 त्यस बेला यारोबाम यरूशलेममा जाँदा शीलोका अहियाह अगमवक्ताले तिनलाई बाटोमा भेटे । अहियाहले नयाँ खास्टो लगाएका थिए र मैदानमा दुई जना मानिस मात्र थिए ।

At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed in a new garment and the two men were alone in the field.

30 तब अहियाहले आफूले लगाएको नयाँ खास्टो निकाली त्यसलाई च्यातेर बाह्र टुक्रा बनाए ।

Then Ahijah grabbed hold of the new garment that was on him and tore it into twelve pieces.

31 तिनले यारोबामलाई भने, “दसवटा टुक्रा लिनुहोस्, किनकि इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म सोलोमनको हातबाट राज्य टुक्रा पारेर तँलाई दस कुल दिने छु,

He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Look, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and I will give ten tribes to you

32 (तर मेरा दास दाऊदको खातिर र मैले इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट चुनेको सहर यरूशलेमको खातिर सोलोमनलाई एउटा कुल दिने छु),

(but Solomon will have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake—the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),

33 किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागेर सीदोनीहरूकी अश्तोरेत देवी, मोआबको कमोश देवता र अम्मोनीहरूको मोलोख देवतालाई पुजा गरेका छन् । आफ्ना पिता दाऊदले गरेझैँ मेरो दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ त्यही गर्न र मेरा विधिविधानहरूसाथै मेरा उर्दीहरू पालन गर्न त्यो मेरो मार्गमा हिँडेको छैन ।

because they have forsaken me and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Molech the god of the people of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my decrees, as did David his father.

34 तथापि म सोलोमनको हातबाट पुरै राज्य भने खोस्दिनँ । बरु, मेरा आज्ञाहरू र मेरा विधिविधानहरू पालन गर्ने मैले चुनेका मेरा दास दाऊदको खातिर मैले त्यसलाई त्यसको जीवनभर शासक बनाएको छु ।

However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand. Instead, I have made him ruler all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, the one who kept my commandments and my statutes.

35 तर म त्यसको छोरोको हातबाट राज्य खोसेर म दस कुललाई दिने छु ।

But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and I will give it to you, ten tribes.

36 म एउटा कुल सोलोमनको छोरोलाई दिने छु ताकि मेरो नाउँ राख्न मैले चुनेको सहर यरूशलेममा मेरो सामु मेरा दास दाऊदको एउटा बत्ती सधैँ बलिरहोस् ।

I will give one tribe to Solomon's son, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city in which I have chosen to put my name.

37 म तँलाई चाहिँ लिने छु, र तैँले इच्छा गरेअनुसार तैँले शासन गर्ने छस्, र तँ इस्राएलमाथि राजा हुने छस् ।

I will take you, and you will rule to fulfill all that you desire, and you will be king over Israel.

38 मेरा दास दाऊदले गरेझैँ मैले तँलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा तैँले मानिस्, र मेरो दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ त्यही गरिस्, र मेरा विधिविधानहरू र मेरा आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्न मेरा मार्गहरूमा हिँडिस् भने म तँसित हुने छु, र दाऊदको निम्ति निर्माण गरेझैँ म तेरो वंशलाई स्थिर गराउने छु, अनि इस्राएलचाहिँ म तँलाई दिने छु ।

If you listen to all that I command you, and if you walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

39 म दाऊदका सन्तानहरूलाई दण्ड दिने छु, तर सदाको निम्ति भने होइन ।”

I will punish the descendants of David, but not forever.'”

40 त्यसैले सोलोमनले यारोबामलाई मार्न खोजे । तर यारोबाम उठेर मिश्रका राजा शीशककहाँ भागे । सोलोमनको मृत्यु नहोउञ्जेलसम्म तिनी मिश्रमा नै बसे ।

So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam got up and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he remained in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

41 सोलोमनले गरेका अन्य कामहरू र तिनको बुद्धिको विषयमा के सोलोमनको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन् र?

As for the other matters concerning Solomon, all that he did and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the events of Solomon?

42 सोलोमनले यरूशलेममा बसी सारा इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्षसम्म शासन गरे ।

Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.

43 तिनी आफ्ना पित्रहरूसित सुते, र तिनलाई तिनका पिता दाऊदको सहरमा गाडियो । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा रहबाम राजा भए ।

He slept with his ancestors and he was buried in the city of David his father. Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
