१ राजाहरू 3
1 सोलोमनले विवाहद्वारा मिश्रका राजा फारोसित मैत्रीपूर्ण सम्बन्ध गाँसे । तिनले फारोकी छोरीसित विवाह गरे, र तिनले आफ्नै महल, परमप्रभुको मन्दिरसाथै यरूशलेमको पर्खाल निर्माण गरेपछि उनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा ल्याए ।
And Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the City of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
2 परमप्रभुको नाउँमा कुनै पनि घर निर्माण नभइसकेकोले मानिसहरूले उच्च स्थानहरूमा बलिदान चढाउँदै थिए ।
Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of Jehovah until those days.
3 आफ्ना पिता दाऊदका विधिविधानहरूमा हिँडी सोलोमनले परमप्रभुप्रति आफ्नो प्रेम देखाए, तर तिनले उच्च स्थानहरूमा बलिदान चढाए र धूप बाले ।
Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 राजा बलिदान चढाउन गिबोनमा गए किनकि त्यो निकै उच्च स्थान थियो । सोलोमनले त्यस वेदीमा एक हजारवटा होमबलि चढाए ।
The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5 रातमा गिबोनमा परमप्रभु सपनामा सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो । उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तँ मबाट के चाहन्छस्, माग् ।”
In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."
6 त्यसैले सोलोमनले भने, “मेरा पिता दाऊद तपाईंको सामु विश्वसनियतामा, धार्मिकतामा र ह्रदयको सोझोपनमा हिँडेकाले तपाईंले आफ्ना दास दाऊदलाई करारको ठुलो विश्वसनीयता देखाउनुभएको छ । तपाईंले उहाँप्रति करारको ठुलो विश्वसनीयता कायमै राख्नुभएको छ, र आज उहाँको सिंहासनमा बस्न एक जना पुत्र दिनुभएको छ ।
Solomon said, "You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7 अब हे परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, म सानो बालक भए तापनि तपाईंले आफ्ना दासलाई मेरा पिता दाऊदको ठाउँमा राजा बनाउनुभएको छ । मलाई मेरो कर्तव्य थाहा छैन ।
Now, Jehovah my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.
8 तपाईंका दास तपाईंले छान्नुभएका मानिसहरूका बिचमा छन् जो असङ्ख्य र अनगिन्ती छन् ।
Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can't be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9 त्यसैले मैले खराब र असल छुट्ट्याउन सकूँ भनेर मानिसहरूको न्याय गर्न तपाईंका दासलाई समझशक्तिको ह्रदय दिनुहोस् । किनकि तपाईंको यस महान् जातिलाई न्याय गर्न को सक्षम छ?”
Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?"
10 सोलोमनको यस बिन्तीले परमप्रभुलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।
The speech pleased Jehovah, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 त्यसैले परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले आफ्नो लागि लामो जीवन वा धनसम्पत्ति वा तेरा शत्रुहरूको जीवन नमागी न्याय छुट्ट्याउने समझशक्ति मागेको छस् ।
God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;
12 हेर्, अब तैँले मबाट मागेको सबै कुरा म पुरा गर्ने छु । म तँलाई बुद्धिमानी र समझशक्तिको हृदय दिने छु । यसरी तेरो सामु कोही पनि तँजस्तो हुने छैन, र तँपछि पनि कोही पनि तँजस्तो खडा हुने छैन ।
look, I have done according to your word. Look, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.
13 तैँले मबाट नमागेका कुराहरू अर्थात् धनसम्पत्ति र मान पनि मैले तँलाई दिएको छु ताकि राजाहरूका बिचमा तेरो जीवनभर तँजस्तो कोही पनि नहोस् ।
I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days.
14 तेरा पिता दाऊदझैँ मेरा विधिविधानहरू र मेरा आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्न तँ मेरो मार्गमा हिँडिस् भने म तेरो आयु लम्ब्याउने छु ।”
If you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."
15 त्यसपछि सोलोमन ब्युँझे, र यो त सपना पो रहेछ! तिनी यरूशलेममा आए, र परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुकको सामु खडा भए । तिनले होमबलि र मेलबलिहरू चढाए, अनि आफ्ना सबै सेवकहरूलाई भोज दिए ।
Solomon awoke; and look, it was a dream. Then he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
16 त्यसपछि दुई जना वेश्या स्त्री राजाकहाँ आई तिनको सामु खडा भए ।
Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
17 एक जना स्त्रीले भनी, “हे मेरा मालिक, यो स्त्री र म एउटै घरमा बस्छौँ, अनि त्यस घरमा मैले एउटा बालक जन्माएँ ।
The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.
18 मैले जन्म दिएको तेस्रो दिनमा यस स्त्रीले बालक जन्माई । हामी सँगसँगै थियौँ । घरमा हामीसित कोही पनि थिएन, तर हामी दुई जना मात्र थियौँ ।
It happened the third day after I delivered, that this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.
19 त्यसपछि रातमा यो स्त्रीले बालकलाई थिचेर मारिछ ।
This woman's child died in the night, because she lay on it.
20 त्यसैले मध्य रातमा तपाईंकी दासी सुतिरहेको बेलामा त्यो उठी र छेउमा राखिएको मेरो छोरो लिएर काखमा राखिछ अनि मेरो काखमा चाहिँ त्यसको मरेको छोरो राखिछ ।
She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 म मेरो बच्चालाई दूध खुवाउन बिहान उठ्दा त्यो मरेको रहेछ । बिहान मैले त्यसलाई नियालेर हेर्दा त्यो मैले जन्माएको मेरो छोरो थिएन ।”
When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, look, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, look, it was not my son, whom I bore."
22 त्यसपछि अर्की स्त्रीले भनी, “त्यसो होइन । जीवित छोरोचाहिँ मेरो छोरो हो, र मरेकोचाहिँ तेरो छोरो हो ।” पहिलो स्त्रीले भनी, “त्यसो होइन । मरेकोचाहिँ तेरो छोरो हो, र जीवितचाहिँ मेरो छोरो हो ।” यसरी तिनीहरूले राजाको सामु बताए ।
The other woman said, "No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son." This said, "No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.
23 तब राजाले भने, “तिमीहरूमध्ये एउटीले भन्छौ, 'यो जीवितचाहिँ मेरो छोरो हो, र तेरो छोरोचाहिँ मरेको छ ।' त्यसै गरी, अर्कीले भन्छौ, 'त्यसो होइन । तेरो छोरो मरेको छ, र मेरो छोरोचाहिँ जीवितै छ' ।”
Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead;' and the other says, 'No; but your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'"
24 राजाले भने, “मलाई एउटा तरवार ल्याइदेऊ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले राजाको सामु एउटा तरवार ल्याइदिए ।
The king said, "Get me a sword." They brought a sword before the king.
25 तब राजाले भने, “जीवित छोरोलाई काटेर दुई भाग लगा अनि आधा भाग एउटी स्त्रीलाई र बाँकी आधा भाग अर्की स्त्रीलाई दिनू ।”
The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."
26 तब आफ्नो छोरोको निम्ति दयाले भरिएर जीवित छोरोकी आमाले राजालाई भनी, “हे मेरा मालिक, जीवित बालक त्यसलाई नै दिनू र त्यसलाई कुनै पनि हालतमा नमार्नू ।” तर अर्की स्त्रीले भनी, “त्यो न मेरो हुने छ न तेरो । त्यसलाई दुई टुक्रा पारियोस् ।”
Then the woman whose the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill it." But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide it."
27 तब राजाले जवाफ दिए, “जीवित बालक पहिलो स्त्रीलाई दिनू, र त्यसलाई कुनै पनि हालतमा नमार्नू । त्यो नै बालककी आमा हो ।”
Then the king answered, "Give her the living child, and in no way kill it. She is its mother."
28 जब सारा इस्राएलले राजाले गरेको न्याय सुने तिनीहरू राजादेखि डराए किनकि न्याय सम्पादन गर्न परमेश्वरको बुद्धि तिनमा थियो भनी तिनीहरूले देखे ।
All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
