१ राजाहरू 5
1 टुरोसका राजा हीरामले सोलोमनकहाँ आफ्ना सेवकहरू पठाए किनकि आफ्नो पिताको सट्टामा सोलोमन राजा अभिषेक गरिएका थिए भनी तिनले सुनेका थिए । हीरामले दाऊदलाई सधैँ माया गर्थे ।
Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 सोलोमनले यसो भन्दै हीरामलाई वचन पठाए,
Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 “मेरा पिता दाऊद युद्धले घेरिएकाले परमप्रभु उहाँका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा उहाँले मन्दिर बनाउन सक्नुभएन भनी तपाईंलाई थाहै छ । उहाँको जीवनभर परमप्रभुले उहाँका शत्रुहरूलाई उहाँको खुट्टाको पैतालामुनि ल्याउनुभयो ।
"You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
4 तर अहिले परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरले मलाई हरेक क्षेत्रमा विश्राम दिनुभएको छ ।
But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
5 त्यसैले परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरको नाउँमा एउटा मन्दिर बनाउने मेरो इच्छा छ जस्तो परमप्रभुले मेरा पिता दाऊदलाई यसो भन्नुभएको थियो, 'म तेरो छोरोलाई तेरो सिंहासनमा बसाउने छु, र त्यसले नै मेरो नाउँमा मन्दिर बनाउने छ ।'
Look, I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for my name.'
6 त्यसकारण, अब तिनीहरूलाई मेरो निम्ति देवदारुका रुखहरू काट्न आज्ञा दिनुहोस् । मेरा दासहरू तपाईंका दासहरूसित मिल्ने छन्, र तपाईंले तोक्नुभएको ज्याला म तिनीहरूलाई दिने छु । किनकि तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, कि सीदोनीहरूजस्तै रुख ढाल्ने सिपालु मानिसहरू हाम्रा बिचमा कोही छैन ।”
Now therefore command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."
7 हीरामले सोलोमनको कुरा सुनेपछि तिनी अत्यन्तै खुसी भए र भने, “आज परमप्रभु धन्यका होऊन् जसले दाऊदलाई आफ्ना जातिको रेखदेख गर्न एउटा बुद्धिमान् छोरा दिनुभएको छ ।
It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed is the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."
8 हीरामले सोलोमनलाई यस्तो वचन पठाए, “तपाईंले मलाई पठाउनुभएको सन्देश मैले सुनेको छु । म तपाईंले चाहना गर्नुभएका सबै देवदारु र सल्लाका काठ जुटाइदिने छु ।
Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will satisfy all your desire concerning cedar wood and concerning the wood of evergreens.
9 मेरा दासहरूले लेबनानबाट समुद्रसम्म मूढाहरू ल्याउने छन्, र ती बाँधेर तपाईंले तोक्नुभएको ठाउँमा म बगाएर पठाउन लगाउने छु । म त्यहाँ खोल्न लगाउने छु, र तपाईंले ती लैजान सक्नुहुने छ । मेरो घरानालाई भोजन जुटाइदिएर तपाईंले चाहनुभएको कुरा पुरा गर्नुहोस् ।”
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household."
10 त्यसैले सोलोमनले चाहेका सबै देवदारु र सल्लाका मूढा हीरामले तिनलाई दिए ।
So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
11 सोलोमनले हीरामको घरानालाई भोजनको निम्ति पचास हजार मुरी गहुँ र साढे चार हजार लिटर शुद्ध तेल दिए । सोलोमनले यो वर्षैपिच्छे हीरामलाई दिन्थे ।
Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty thousand baths of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
12 आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ परमप्रभुले सोलोमनलाई बुद्धि दिनुभयो । सोलोमन र हीरामको बिचमा शान्ति कायम थियो, र तिनीहरू दुई जनाले एउटा करार बाँधे ।
The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a covenant.
13 सोलोमन राजाले सारा इस्राएलबाट तिस हजार बेगार काम गर्ने मानिस जम्मा गरे ।
King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई हरेक महिना दस-दस हजार गरी लेबनानमा पठाए । तिनीहरू एक महिना लेबनानमा बस्थे र दुई महिना घरमा बस्थे । अदोनिराम बेगार काम गर्नेहरूका जिम्मावाल थिए ।
He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
15 सोलोमनका सत्तरी हजरा भरिया र पहाडमा असी हजार ढुङ्गा काट्ने मानिस थिए ।
Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains;
16 मजदुरहरूका कामको रेखदेख गर्न खटिएका तिन हजार तिन सय नाइके थिए ।
besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and six hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
17 राजाको आज्ञामा तिनीहरूले मन्दिरको जगको निम्ति उच्च गुणस्तरका ठुला-ठुला ढुङ्गाहरू फोरेर निकाले ।
The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
18 त्यसैले सोलोमन र हीरामका कारीगरहरूसाथै गेबालका मानिसहरूले मन्दिर निर्माणको निम्ति काठ र ढुङ्गाहरू काटेर तयार पारे ।
Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
