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 ।
So Solomon began to build the temple of Yahweh. This happened in the 480th year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month.
2 सोलोमन राजाले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका मन्दिरको लमाइ साठी हात, चौडाइ बिस हात र उचाइ तिस हात थियो ।
The temple that King Solomon built for Yahweh 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 portico in front of the temple's main hall was twenty cubits in length, equal to the width of the temple, and ten cubits deep in front of the temple.
4 तिनले मन्दिरको छानामुनिका साँघुरा झ्यालहरू बनाए ।
For the house he made windows with frames that made them more narrow at the outside than on the inside.
5 मुख्य सभाकक्षका भित्ताहरूको विपरीत तिनले यसको वरिपरि कोठाहरू बनाए अर्थात् तिनले भित्री र बाहिरी कोठा बनाए । तिनले चारैतिर कोठाहरू बनाए ।
Against the walls of the main chamber he built rooms around it, around both the outer room and the inner room. He built rooms all around the sides.
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 story was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide. For on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around so that the beams would not be inserted 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 ।
The house was built of stones prepared at the quarry. No hammer, ax, or any iron tool 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 ।
On the south side of the temple there was an entrance at the ground level, then one went up by stairs to the middle level, and from the middle to the third level.
9 यसरी सोलोमनले मन्दिर बनाएर सिद्ध्याए । तिनले मन्दिरलाई दलिन र देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले ढाके ।
So Solomon built the temple and finished it; he covered the house with beams and planks 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 ।
He built the side rooms against the inner chambers of the temple, each side five cubits high; they were joined to the house with timbers of cedar.
11 परमप्रभुको यो वचन सोलोमनकहाँ आयो,
The word of Yahweh 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 temple which you are building, if you walk in my statutes and do justice, keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will confirm my promise with you that I had made to David your father.
13 म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका बिचमा बस्ने छु, र तिनीहरूलाई त्याग्ने छैनँ ।”
I will live among the people of Israel and will not forsake them.”
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 ।
Then he built the interior walls of the house with boards of cedar. From the floor of the house to the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood, and he covered the floor of the house 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 built twenty cubits onto the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this room to be the inner room, the most holy place.
17 महा-पवित्रस्थानको अगाडिपट्टि रहेको मुख्य कक्ष अर्थात् पवित्रस्थान चालिस हात लामो थियो ।
The main hall, that is, the holy place that was in front of the most 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 ।
There was cedar inside the house, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers. All was cedar inside. No stonework was visible on the inside.
19 परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक राख्नका लागि सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री कोठा तयार पारे ।
Solomon prepared the inner room inside the house in order to place the ark of the covenant of Yahweh there.
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 room was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. Solomon overlaid the walls with pure gold and covered the altar with cedar wood.
21 सोलोमनले मन्दिरको भित्री भाग निखुर सुनले मोहोरे, र भित्री कोठाको सामुन्ने तिनले सुनका सिक्रीहरू झुण्ड्याए ।
Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he placed chains of gold across the front of the inner room, and overlaid the front with gold.
22 मन्दिरको निर्माण नसकिएसम्म तिनले सम्पूर्ण भित्री भाग सुनले मोहोरे । भित्री भागमा भएको वेदीलाई पनि तिनले सुनले मोहोरे ।
He overlaid the entire interior with gold until all the temple was finished. He also overlaid with gold the whole altar that belonged to the inner room.
23 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको लागि जैतूनको काठबाट दुईवटा करूब बनाए । प्रत्येकको उचाइ दस हात थियो ।
Solomon made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high, for the inner room.
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 the first cherub was five cubits long and its other wing was also five cubits long. So from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other there was a distance of ten cubits.
25 दोस्रो करूबको नाप पनि दसै हात थियो । दुवै करूबको कद र आकार उही थिए ।
The other cherub also had a wingspan ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of the same dimensions and shape.
26 एउटा करूबको उचाइ दस हात थियो र अर्कोको उचाइ पनि उत्ति नै थियो ।
The height of one cherub was ten cubits and the other cherub was the same.
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 ।
Solomon placed the cherubim in the innermost room. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out so that the wing of one touched one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. Their wings touched one another in the middle of the most holy place.
28 सोलोमनले करूबहरूलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
Solomon overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 तिनले मन्दिरका चारैपट्टिका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका सबै भित्तामा करूब, खजूरका बोट र फक्रेका फुलका बुट्टाहरू कुँदे ।
He carved all the walls of the house around about with figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, in the outer and inner rooms.
30 सोलोमनले मन्दिरका भित्री र बाहिरी कोठाहरूका भुइँलाई सुनले मोहोरे ।
Solomon overlaid the floor of the house with gold, in both the outer and inner rooms.
31 सोलोमनले भित्री कोठाको प्रवेशद्वारको लागि पाँच पट्टिका थाम भएका जैतूनको काठका ढोकाहरू बनाए ।
Solomon made doors of olivewood for the entrance to the inner room. The lintel and doorposts had five indented sections.
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 ।
So he made two doors of olivewood, and he made on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and he spread the gold on the cherubim and palm trees.
33 यसै गरी, सोलोमनले मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षको प्रवेशद्वारको निम्ति जैतूनको काठका चार पट्टिका थामहरू बनाए ।
In this way, Solomon also made for the temple entrance doorposts of olive wood having four indented sections
34 तिनले खोपिल्टामा घुम्ने दुईवटा खापा भएका सल्लाका दुईवटा ढोका पनि बनाए ।
and two doors of cypress wood. 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 ।
He carved on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he evenly overlaid gold on the carved work.
36 तिनले भित्री चोक काटेका ढुङ्गाका तिन लहर गरी र देवदारुको काठको सत्तरीको एक लहर गरी बनाए ।
He built the inner courtyard with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.
37 चौथो वर्षको जीभ महिनामा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसालियो ।
The foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid in the fourth year, 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 ।
In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts and conforming to all its specifications. Solomon took seven years to build the temple.
