१ राजाहरू 6

1 यसैले सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न सुरु गरे । इस्राएलीहरू मिश्र देशबाट निस्केर आएको चार सय असीऔँ वर्षमा, सोलोमनले इस्राएलमाथि राज्य गरेको चौथो वर्षको जीभ अर्थात् दोस्रो महिनामा कामको थालनी भएको थियो ।

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.

2 सोलोमन राजाले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका मन्दिरको लमाइ साठी हात, चौडाइ बिस हात र उचाइ तिस हात थियो ।

The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

3 मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको सामुन्नेको दलान मन्दिरको चौडाइ बराबरको थियो अर्थात् बिस हातो लामो थियो, र त्यो मन्दिरको अगिल्तिर दस हातसम्म निस्केको थियो ।

The covered way before the Temple of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and ten cubits wide in front of the house.

4 तिनले मन्दिरको छानामुनिका साँघुरा झ्यालहरू बनाए ।

And for the house he made windows, with network across.

5 मुख्य सभाकक्षका भित्ताहरूको विपरीत तिनले यसको वरिपरि कोठाहरू बनाए अर्थात् तिनले भित्री र बाहिरी कोठा बनाए । तिनले चारैतिर कोठाहरू बनाए ।

And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:

6 सबैभन्दा मुनिको तलाको चौडाइ पाँच हात, बिचको तलाको चौडाइ छ हात र तेस्रो तलाको चौडाइचाहिँ सात हात थियो । तिनले मन्दिरका चारैपट्टि बाहिरतिर मन्दिरको भित्तामा केही नघुसाऊन् भनी पालीहरू निर्माण गरे ।

The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.

7 ढुङ्गाको खानीमा नै तयार पारिएका ढुङ्गाहरूबाट मन्दिर बनाइयो । यसको निर्माण हुँदा घन वा छिनु वा कुनै किसिमको फलामे औजारको आवाज सुनिएन ।

(And the stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)

8 मन्दिरको दक्षिणपट्टि सबैभन्दा तल्लो तलाको प्रवेशद्वारा थियो, अनि त्यहाँबाट बिचको र तेस्रो तलामा जानलाई सिँढी थियो ।

The door to the lowest side rooms was in the right side of the house; and they went up by twisting steps into the middle rooms, and from the middle into the third.

9 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए । तिनले मन्दिरलाई दलिन र देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले ढाके ।

So he put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.

10 तिनले मन्दिरको भित्री कक्षको विपरीत किनाराका कोठाहरू बनाए र हरेक कोठाको उचाइ पाँच हात थियो । ती मन्दिरसँगै देवदारुका काठका सत्तरीले जोडिएका थिए ।

And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.

11 परमप्रभुको यो वचन सोलोमनकहाँ आयो,

(And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,

12 “तैँले बनाइरहेको यो मन्दिरको विषयमा भन्नुपर्दा, तैँले मेरा विधिविधानहरू पालन गरी न्याय कायम गरिस् र मेरा सबै आज्ञा पालन गरी तिनमा हिँडिस् भने मैले तेरा पिता दाऊदसित बाँधेको प्रतिज्ञा तँद्वारा नै पुरा गर्ने छु ।

About this house which you are building: if you will keep my laws and give effect to my decisions and be guided by my rules, I will give effect to my word which I gave to David your father.

13 म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका बिचमा बस्ने छु, र तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्ने छैनँ ।”

And I will be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.

14 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।

So Solomon made the building of the house complete.)

15 तिनले देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले मन्दिरको भुइँदेखि दलिनसम्म भित्रपट्टिका भित्ताहरू बनाई मन्दिरको भुइँमा सल्लाका फल्याकहरू ओछ्याए ।

The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.

16 तिनले मन्दिरको पछाडिपट्टि भुइँदेखि दलिनसम्म देवदारुका बिस हात लामा फल्याकहरू मिलाएर राखे । तिनले यसलाई भित्री कोठा अर्थात् महा-पवित्रस्थान बनाए ।

And at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.

17 महा-पवित्रस्थानको अगाडिपट्टि रहेको मुख्य कक्ष अर्थात् पवित्रस्थान चालिस हात लामो थियो ।

And the house, that is, the Temple, in front of the holy place was forty cubits long.

18 मन्दिरको भित्रपट्टिको देवदारुको काठमा फक्रेका फुल र लौकाका बुट्टा कुँदिएका थिए । ती सबै देवदारुका थिए । एउटै पनि ढुङ्गा देखिँदैनथ्यो ।

(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)

19 परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक राख्नका लागि सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री कोठा तयार पारे ।

And he made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.

20 भित्री कोठा बिस हात लामो, बिस हात चौडा र बिस हात अग्लो थियो । सोलोमनले भित्ताहरू निखुर सुनले मोहोरी वेदीलाई देवदारुको काठले ढाके ।

And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.

21 सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री भाग निखुर सुनले मोहोरे, र भित्री कोठाको सामुन्ने तिनले सुनका सिक्रीहरू झुण्ड्याए ।

Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.

22 मन्दिरको निर्माण नसकिएसम्म तिनले सम्पूर्ण भित्री भाग सुनले मोहोरे । भित्री भागमा भएको वेदीलाई पनि तिनले सुनले मोहोरे ।

Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).

23 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको लागि जैतूनको काठबाट दुईवटा करूब बनाए । प्रत्येकको उचाइ दस हात थियो ।

In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;

24 पहिलो करूबको एउटा पखेटा पाँच हात लामो थियो भने अर्को पखेट पनि पाँचै हात लामो थियो । एउटा पखेटाको टुप्पोदेखि अर्को पखेटाको टुप्पोसम्म दस हात थियो ।

With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.

25 दोस्रो करूबको नाप पनि दसै हात थियो । दुवै करूबको कद र आकार उही थिए ।

The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.

26 एउटा करूबको उचाइ दस हात थियो र अर्कोको उचाइ पनि उत्ति नै थियो ।

The two of them were ten cubits high.

27 सोलोमनले करूबहरूलाई सबैभन्दा भित्री कोठामा राखे । ती करूबका पखेटाहरू बाहिरतिर फैलिएका थिए । एउटा करूबको एउटा पखेटाले एकापट्टिको भित्तालाई र अर्को करूबको एउटा पखेटाले अर्कोपट्टिको भित्तालाई छुन्थे । तिनीहरूका अर्का पखेटाहरूले चाहिँ महा-पवित्रस्थानको बिच भागमा एक-अर्कालाई छुन्थे ।

These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.

28 सोलोमनले करूबहरूलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।

These winged ones were plated over with gold.

29 तिनले मन्दिरका चारैपट्टिका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका सबै भित्तामा करूब, खजूरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका बुट्टाहरू कुँदे ।

And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.

30 सोलोमनले मन्दिरका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका भुइँलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।

And the floor of the house was covered with gold, inside and out.

31 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको प्रवेशद्वारको लागि पाँच पट्टिका थाम भएका जैतूनको काठका ढोकाहरू बनाए ।

For the way into the inmost room he made doors of olive-wood, the arch and the door supports forming a five-sided opening.

32 यसरी तिनले जैतूनको काठका दुईवटा ढोका बनाए, र तिनका करूब, खजूरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका चित्रहरू खोपे । तिनले तिनमा निखुर सुनले मोहोरी करूबहरू र खजुरका बोटहरूलाई सुनले ढाके ।

On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.

33 यसै गरी, सोलोमनले मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको प्रवेशद्वारको निम्ति जैतूनको काठका चार पट्टिका थामहरू बनाए ।

Then he made pillars of olive-wood for the way into the Temple; the pillars were square:

34 तिनले खोपिल्टामा घुम्ने दुईवटा खापा भएका सल्लाका दुईवटा ढोका पनि बनाए ।

And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.

35 तिनले तिनमा करूब, खजुरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका चित्रहरू कुँदी तिनलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।

These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.

36 तिनले भित्री चोक काटेका ढुङ्गाका तिन लहर गरी र देवदारुको काठको सत्तरीको एक लहर गरी बनाए ।

And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.

37 चौथो वर्षको जीभ महिनामा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसालियो ।

In the fourth year the base of the house was put in its place, in the month Ziv.

38 एघारौँ वर्षको बूल महिना अर्थात् आठौँ महिनामा निर्देशनमुताबिक मन्दिरका सबै भाग बनाएर सिद्ध्याइयो । मन्दर बनाउन सोलोमनलाई सात वर्ष लाग्यो ।

And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years building it.
