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 ।
Four hundred and eighty years after the Israelites left Egypt, in the fourth year of King Solomon's reign, in the month of Ziv, Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord.
2 सोलोमन राजाले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका मन्दिरको लमाइ साठी हात, चौडाइ बिस हात र उचाइ तिस हात थियो ।
The Temple King Solomon built for the Lord measured sixty cubits long by twenty cubits wide by 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 entrance room at the front of the Temple was twenty cubits wide. It ran the whole width of the Temple and projected out ten cubits in front of the Temple.
4 तिनले मन्दिरको छानामुनिका साँघुरा झ्यालहरू बनाए ।
He had latticed windows made to be placed high up in the Temple.
5 मुख्य सभाकक्षका भित्ताहरूको विपरीत तिनले यसको वरिपरि कोठाहरू बनाए अर्थात् तिनले भित्री र बाहिरी कोठा बनाए । तिनले चारैतिर कोठाहरू बनाए ।
He also had a structure built against the outer wall of the Temple, both the outer and the inner sanctuary, to provide a series of side rooms.
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 ground floor measured five cubits wide, the first floor six cubits, and the second floor seven cubits. In addition he had offset ledges placed all the way around the outside, so that beams would not have to be inserted into the Temple walls.
7 ढुङ्गाको खानीमा नै तयार पारिएका ढुङ्गाहरूबाट मन्दिर बनाइयो । यसको निर्माण हुँदा घन वा छिनु वा कुनै किसिमको फलामे औजारको आवाज सुनिएन ।
When the Temple was built the stones were finished at the quarry so that no noise from any hammer, ax, or any iron tool was heard in the Temple during construction.
8 मन्दिरको दक्षिणपट्टि सबैभन्दा तल्लो तलाको प्रवेशद्वारा थियो, अनि त्यहाँबाट बिचको र तेस्रो तलामा जानलाई सिँढी थियो ।
The entrance to the ground floor was on the south side of the Temple. Stairs led to the first floor, and then on to the second floor.
9 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए । तिनले मन्दिरलाई दलिन र देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले ढाके ।
So Solomon finished building the Temple, covering it with a roof made of cedar rafters and planks.
10 तिनले मन्दिरको भित्री कक्षको विपरीत किनाराका कोठाहरू बनाए र हरेक कोठाको उचाइ पाँच हात थियो । ती मन्दिरसँगै देवदारुका काठका सत्तरीले जोडिएका थिए ।
He built the external structure along the whole of the Temple. It was five cubits high, joined to the Temple with cedar joists.
11 परमप्रभुको यो वचन सोलोमनकहाँ आयो,
The Lord sent this message to Solomon, telling him,
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 Temple you are building: if you follow what I have said, fulfilling my requirements and keeping my commandments in what you do, I will keep the promise I made to your father David through you.
13 म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका बिचमा बस्ने छु, र तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्ने छैनँ ।”
I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon Israel, my people.”
14 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।
Solomon finished building the Temple.
15 तिनले देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले मन्दिरको भुइँदेखि दलिनसम्म भित्रपट्टिका भित्ताहरू बनाई मन्दिरको भुइँमा सल्लाका फल्याकहरू ओछ्याए ।
He lined the walls with cedar panels from floor to ceiling and he covered the floor of the Temple with cypress boards.
16 तिनले मन्दिरको पछाडिपट्टि भुइँदेखि दलिनसम्म देवदारुका बिस हात लामा फल्याकहरू मिलाएर राखे । तिनले यसलाई भित्री कोठा अर्थात् महा-पवित्रस्थान बनाए ।
He sectioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the Temple with boards of cedar from floor to ceiling, making an inner sanctuary as the Most Holy Place.
17 महा-पवित्रस्थानको अगाडिपट्टि रहेको मुख्य कक्ष अर्थात् पवित्रस्थान चालिस हात लामो थियो ।
The main Temple in front of this room measured forty cubits long.
18 मन्दिरको भित्रपट्टिको देवदारुको काठमा फक्रेका फुल र लौकाका बुट्टा कुँदिएका थिए । ती सबै देवदारुका थिए । एउटै पनि ढुङ्गा देखिँदैनथ्यो ।
The cedar panels inside the Temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and open flowers. Everything was lined with cedar—none of the stone was visible.
19 परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक राख्नका लागि सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री कोठा तयार पारे ।
He also had the inner sanctuary made within the Temple where the Ark of the Lord's Agreement would be placed.
20 भित्री कोठा बिस हात लामो, बिस हात चौडा र बिस हात अग्लो थियो । सोलोमनले भित्ताहरू निखुर सुनले मोहोरी वेदीलाई देवदारुको काठले ढाके ।
The inner sanctuary measured twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He had the interior covered with a coating with pure gold, as well as the altar of cedar.
21 सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री भाग निखुर सुनले मोहोरे, र भित्री कोठाको सामुन्ने तिनले सुनका सिक्रीहरू झुण्ड्याए ।
Solomon had the whole of the inside of the Temple covered with pure gold, He had gold chains stretched across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was also covered with gold.
22 मन्दिरको निर्माण नसकिएसम्म तिनले सम्पूर्ण भित्री भाग सुनले मोहोरे । भित्री भागमा भएको वेदीलाई पनि तिनले सुनले मोहोरे ।
He covered the whole inside of the Temple with a coating of gold until it was all finished. He also covered with gold the entire altar for the inner sanctuary.
23 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको लागि जैतूनको काठबाट दुईवटा करूब बनाए । प्रत्येकको उचाइ दस हात थियो ।
He had two cherubim made out of olive wood for the inner sanctuary, each one ten cubits tall.
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 ।
Both wings of the cherub measured five cubits, making a total wingspan of ten cubits.
25 दोस्रो करूबको नाप पनि दसै हात थियो । दुवै करूबको कद र आकार उही थिए ।
The other cherub was also ten cubits tall, since they were identical both in size and shape.
26 एउटा करूबको उचाइ दस हात थियो र अर्कोको उचाइ पनि उत्ति नै थियो ।
Both cherubs were ten cubits tall.
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 ।
He had the cherubim placed inside the inner sanctuary of the Temple. Since their wings were fully spread, a wing of the first cherub touched one wall, a wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the Temple their wings touched.
28 सोलोमनले करूबहरूलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
The cherubim were also covered with a gold coating.
29 तिनले मन्दिरका चारैपट्टिका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका सबै भित्तामा करूब, खजूरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका बुट्टाहरू कुँदे ।
He had all the Temple walls, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
30 सोलोमनले मन्दिरका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका भुइँलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
He also had the floor of the Temple floor covered with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
31 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको प्रवेशद्वारको लागि पाँच पट्टिका थाम भएका जैतूनको काठका ढोकाहरू बनाए ।
He had doors of olive wood made for the entrance to the inner sanctuary, together with a lintel and doorposts that had five sides.
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 ।
These olive wood double doors had carved into them designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The cherubim and palm trees carvings were covered with beaten gold.
33 यसै गरी, सोलोमनले मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको प्रवेशद्वारको निम्ति जैतूनको काठका चार पट्टिका थामहरू बनाए ।
Similarly he had four-sided doorposts of olive wood made for the entrance to the sanctuary.
34 तिनले खोपिल्टामा घुम्ने दुईवटा खापा भएका सल्लाका दुईवटा ढोका पनि बनाए ।
Its doors were made of cypress wood, each with two hinged panels.
35 तिनले तिनमा करूब, खजुरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका चित्रहरू कुँदी तिनलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
He had them carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and covered them with gold beaten evenly over the carvings.
36 तिनले भित्री चोक काटेका ढुङ्गाका तिन लहर गरी र देवदारुको काठको सत्तरीको एक लहर गरी बनाए ।
Solomon had the inner courtyard built with three courses of dressed stone and one of cedar beams.
37 चौथो वर्षको जीभ महिनामा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसालियो ।
The foundation of the Lord's Temple was laid in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, 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 ।
The Temple was finished exactly as specified and planned in Solomon's eleventh year, in the eighth month, the month of Bul. So it took him seven years to build the Temple.
