< 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 ।
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
2 सोलोमन राजाले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका मन्दिरको लमाइ साठी हात, चौडाइ बिस हात र उचाइ तिस हात थियो ।
And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3 मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको सामुन्नेको दलान मन्दिरको चौडाइ बराबरको थियो अर्थात् बिस हातो लामो थियो, र त्यो मन्दिरको अगिल्तिर दस हातसम्म निस्केको थियो ।
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4 तिनले मन्दिरको छानामुनिका साँघुरा झ्यालहरू बनाए ।
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5 मुख्य सभाकक्षका भित्ताहरूको विपरीत तिनले यसको वरिपरि कोठाहरू बनाए अर्थात् तिनले भित्री र बाहिरी कोठा बनाए । तिनले चारैतिर कोठाहरू बनाए ।
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
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 nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened 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 house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 मन्दिरको दक्षिणपट्टि सबैभन्दा तल्लो तलाको प्रवेशद्वारा थियो, अनि त्यहाँबाट बिचको र तेस्रो तलामा जानलाई सिँढी थियो ।
The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए । तिनले मन्दिरलाई दलिन र देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले ढाके ।
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and 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 then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
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 in building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with you, which I spoke to David your father:
13 म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका बिचमा बस्ने छु, र तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्ने छैनँ ।”
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।
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 within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16 तिनले मन्दिरको पछाडिपट्टि भुइँदेखि दलिनसम्म देवदारुका बिस हात लामा फल्याकहरू मिलाएर राखे । तिनले यसलाई भित्री कोठा अर्थात् महा-पवित्रस्थान बनाए ।
And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
17 महा-पवित्रस्थानको अगाडिपट्टि रहेको मुख्य कक्ष अर्थात् पवित्रस्थान चालिस हात लामो थियो ।
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
18 मन्दिरको भित्रपट्टिको देवदारुको काठमा फक्रेका फुल र लौकाका बुट्टा कुँदिएका थिए । ती सबै देवदारुका थिए । एउटै पनि ढुङ्गा देखिँदैनथ्यो ।
And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक राख्नका लागि सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री कोठा तयार पारे ।
And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant 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 oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
21 सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री भाग निखुर सुनले मोहोरे, र भित्री कोठाको सामुन्ने तिनले सुनका सिक्रीहरू झुण्ड्याए ।
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 मन्दिरको निर्माण नसकिएसम्म तिनले सम्पूर्ण भित्री भाग सुनले मोहोरे । भित्री भागमा भएको वेदीलाई पनि तिनले सुनले मोहोरे ।
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको लागि जैतूनको काठबाट दुईवटा करूब बनाए । प्रत्येकको उचाइ दस हात थियो ।
And within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each 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 ।
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25 दोस्रो करूबको नाप पनि दसै हात थियो । दुवै करूबको कद र आकार उही थिए ।
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.
26 एउटा करूबको उचाइ दस हात थियो र अर्कोको उचाइ पनि उत्ति नै थियो ।
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other 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 set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
28 सोलोमनले करूबहरूलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 तिनले मन्दिरका चारैपट्टिका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका सबै भित्तामा करूब, खजूरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका बुट्टाहरू कुँदे ।
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30 सोलोमनले मन्दिरका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका भुइँलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
And the floors 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 for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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 ।
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.
33 यसै गरी, सोलोमनले मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको प्रवेशद्वारको निम्ति जैतूनको काठका चार पट्टिका थामहरू बनाए ।
So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
34 तिनले खोपिल्टामा घुम्ने दुईवटा खापा भएका सल्लाका दुईवटा ढोका पनि बनाए ।
And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 तिनले तिनमा करूब, खजुरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका चित्रहरू कुँदी तिनलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted on the carved work.
36 तिनले भित्री चोक काटेका ढुङ्गाका तिन लहर गरी र देवदारुको काठको सत्तरीको एक लहर गरी बनाए ।
And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37 चौथो वर्षको जीभ महिनामा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसालियो ।
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
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, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
