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, together with 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 ।

of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.

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

He had seven hundred wives, princesses, 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 ।

When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father was.

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

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

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

Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did.

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 abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children 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 ।

So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

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 was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who 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 had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which 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 this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will 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 ।

Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.

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

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

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

Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.

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

For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom

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

(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom),

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

Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when 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 arose out of Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.

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 he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, 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 bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons 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 ।”

When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that 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 behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”

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

God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, 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 ।

He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in 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 adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

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

Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant 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 ।

This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city.

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

The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he put him in charge of 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 way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.

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

Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore it in 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, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and 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 he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which 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 Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.

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 his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, 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 will give it to you, even 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 his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

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 shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall 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 ।

It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that 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 afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”

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

Therefore Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

42 सोलोमनले यरूशलेममा बसी सारा इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्षसम्म शासन गरे ।

The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

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

Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
