< 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 ।
Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.
2 सोलोमन राजाले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका मन्दिरको लमाइ साठी हात, चौडाइ बिस हात र उचाइ तिस हात थियो ।
Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
3 मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको सामुन्नेको दलान मन्दिरको चौडाइ बराबरको थियो अर्थात् बिस हातो लामो थियो, र त्यो मन्दिरको अगिल्तिर दस हातसम्म निस्केको थियो ।
And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.
4 तिनले मन्दिरको छानामुनिका साँघुरा झ्यालहरू बनाए ।
And he made oblique windows in the temple.
5 मुख्य सभाकक्षका भित्ताहरूको विपरीत तिनले यसको वरिपरि कोठाहरू बनाए अर्थात् तिनले भित्री र बाहिरी कोठा बनाए । तिनले चारैतिर कोठाहरू बनाए ।
And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.
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 flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
7 ढुङ्गाको खानीमा नै तयार पारिएका ढुङ्गाहरूबाट मन्दिर बनाइयो । यसको निर्माण हुँदा घन वा छिनु वा कुनै किसिमको फलामे औजारको आवाज सुनिएन ।
Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 मन्दिरको दक्षिणपट्टि सबैभन्दा तल्लो तलाको प्रवेशद्वारा थियो, अनि त्यहाँबाट बिचको र तेस्रो तलामा जानलाई सिँढी थियो ।
The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.
9 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए । तिनले मन्दिरलाई दलिन र देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले ढाके ।
And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
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 built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with 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 ।
“Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.
13 म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका बिचमा बस्ने छु, र तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्ने छैनँ ।”
And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।
And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 तिनले देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले मन्दिरको भुइँदेखि दलिनसम्म भित्रपट्टिका भित्ताहरू बनाई मन्दिरको भुइँमा सल्लाका फल्याकहरू ओछ्याए ।
And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.
16 तिनले मन्दिरको पछाडिपट्टि भुइँदेखि दलिनसम्म देवदारुका बिस हात लामा फल्याकहरू मिलाएर राखे । तिनले यसलाई भित्री कोठा अर्थात् महा-पवित्रस्थान बनाए ।
And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.
17 महा-पवित्रस्थानको अगाडिपट्टि रहेको मुख्य कक्ष अर्थात् पवित्रस्थान चालिस हात लामो थियो ।
And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
18 मन्दिरको भित्रपट्टिको देवदारुको काठमा फक्रेका फुल र लौकाका बुट्टा कुँदिएका थिए । ती सबै देवदारुका थिए । एउटै पनि ढुङ्गा देखिँदैनथ्यो ।
And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.
19 परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक राख्नका लागि सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री कोठा तयार पारे ।
Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
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 oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.
21 सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री भाग निखुर सुनले मोहोरे, र भित्री कोठाको सामुन्ने तिनले सुनका सिक्रीहरू झुण्ड्याए ।
Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
22 मन्दिरको निर्माण नसकिएसम्म तिनले सम्पूर्ण भित्री भाग सुनले मोहोरे । भित्री भागमा भएको वेदीलाई पनि तिनले सुनले मोहोरे ।
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको लागि जैतूनको काठबाट दुईवटा करूब बनाए । प्रत्येकको उचाइ दस हात थियो ।
And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
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 ।
One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
25 दोस्रो करूबको नाप पनि दसै हात थियो । दुवै करूबको कद र आकार उही थिए ।
Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
26 एउटा करूबको उचाइ दस हात थियो र अर्कोको उचाइ पनि उत्ति नै थियो ।
that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
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 ।
And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.
28 सोलोमनले करूबहरूलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
He also overlaid the cherubim 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 temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.
30 सोलोमनले मन्दिरका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका भुइँलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
31 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको प्रवेशद्वारको लागि पाँच पट्टिका थाम भएका जैतूनको काठका ढोकाहरू बनाए ।
And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
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 ।
And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.
33 यसै गरी, सोलोमनले मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको प्रवेशद्वारको निम्ति जैतूनको काठका चार पट्टिका थामहरू बनाए ।
And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
34 तिनले खोपिल्टामा घुम्ने दुईवटा खापा भएका सल्लाका दुईवटा ढोका पनि बनाए ।
and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.
35 तिनले तिनमा करूब, खजुरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका चित्रहरू कुँदी तिनलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
36 तिनले भित्री चोक काटेका ढुङ्गाका तिन लहर गरी र देवदारुको काठको सत्तरीको एक लहर गरी बनाए ।
And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
37 चौथो वर्षको जीभ महिनामा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसालियो ।
In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of 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 house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
