१ राजाहरू 7
1 आफ्नो राजदरबार बनाउन सोलोमनलाई तेह्र वर्ष लाग्यो ।
They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
2 तिनले लेबनानको वन भनिने राजदरबार बनाए । यसको लमाइ एक सय हात, चौडाइ पचास हात र उचाइ तिस हात थियो । देवदारुका स्तम्भहरूका चारवटा लहर र तीमाथि देवदारुकै सत्तरीहरूले राजदरबार बनाइयो ।
One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
3 स्तम्भहरूमा अडिएका ती सत्तीहरूमाथि देवदारुले छत बनाइयो । प्रत्येक लहरमा पन्ध्रवटा गरी जम्माजम्मी पैँतिसवटा सत्तरी थिए ।
[To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
4 सत्तरीहरू तिनवटा लहरमा राखिएका थिए, र हरेक झ्याल एक-अर्कामा आमनेसामने थिए ।
On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
5 सबै ढोकाका आयतकार चौकोसहरू थिए अनि झ्याल तिन-तिनवटा पङ्क्तिमा एक अर्कातिर फर्केका थिए । त्यहाँ पचास हात लामो र तिस हात चौडा स्तम्भहरूले घेरिएको एउटा चोक थियो ।
All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
6 त्यसको सामु एउटा दलान थियो, र त्यसको सामु खम्बाहरू थिए अनि एउटा बाहिर निस्केको छत थियो ।
They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
7 सोलोमनले सिंहासन कक्ष अर्थात् न्याय गर्नको लागि न्यायको कक्ष बनाए । यसको भुइँ देवदारुको काठले ढाकिएको थियो ।
Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
8 सोलोमनले आफू बस्ने महल त्यसको पछिल्तिर न्यायको भवनजस्तै बनाए । आफूले विवाह गरेर ल्याएका फारोकी छोरीको निम्ति पनि तिनले योजस्तै घर बनाए ।
In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
9 यी भवनहरू ठिक तरिकाले मापन गरी करौँतीले काटी चारैतिर चिल्लो बनाइएका महङ्गा पत्थरहरूबाट सिङ्गारिएका थिए । यी ढुङ्गाहरू जगदेखि छतसम्म र विशाल चोकको बाहिरपट्टि पनि प्रयोग गरिएका थिए ।
All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
10 जगमा आठ र दस हातका लामा-लामा महङ्गा ढुङ्गाहरू हालिएका थिए ।
The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
11 तिनको माथि ठिक किसिमले काटिएका महङ्गा ढुङ्गाहरू र देवदारुका सत्तरीहरू थिए ।
On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
12 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको चोक र त्यसको दलानजस्तै विशाल चोकका चारैपट्टि काटेर मिलाइएका ढुङ्गाका तिनवटा पङ्क्ति थिए, र देवदारुका सत्तरीहरूको एउटा पङ्क्ति थियो ।
The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
13 सोलोमन राजाले हुरामलाई टुरोसबाट बोलाउन लगाए ।
There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
14 हुराम नप्ताली कुलकी एउटी विधवाका छोरा थिए । तिनका पिता टुरोसवासी काँसाका कारिगर थिए । हुराम बुद्धि र समझशक्तिले भरिएका र काँसाका महान् काम गर्ने सिप भएका मानिस थिए । सोलोमन राजाको लागि काँसाको काम गर्न तिनी राजाकहाँ आए ।
15 हुरामले दुईवटा काँसाका स्तम्भको रचना गरे । प्रत्येक स्तम्भको उचाइ अठार हात र परिधि बाह्र हातको थियो ।
He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
16 तिनले स्तम्भहरूमाथि शिर राख्न ढालेका काँसाका दुईवटा स्तम्भ-शिर पनि बनाए । हरेक स्तम्भ-शिरको उचाइ पाँच हात थियो ।
He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17 हरेक स्तम्भमाथि भएको स्तम्भ-शिरको निम्ति जालीस्वरूप सातवटा झुण्डिएका सिक्री बनाइए ।
Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18 यसरी हुरामले स्तम्भहरूका स्तम्भ-शिर सिँगार्नलाई प्रत्येक सिक्रीको जालीका वरिपरि दुईवटा पङ्क्ति भएको बुट्टादार दारिम बनाए ।
He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19 दलानभित्रका स्तम्भका स्तम्भ-शिरहरू लिली फुलको आकारका चार हात उचाइका थिए ।
The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
20 दुवै स्तम्भका स्तम्भ-शिरमा जाली नजिकैको कचौराको आकार भएको भागमा स्तम्भ-शिरको चारैपट्टि पङ्क्ति-पङ्क्ति गरी दुई सय बुट्टादार दारिम बनाइए ।
These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
21 तिनले मन्दिरको दलानमा ती स्तम्भहरू खडा गरे । दाहिनेपट्टिको स्तम्भलाई याकीन र देब्रेपट्टिको स्तम्भलाई बोआज नाउँ राखियो ।
His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
22 स्तम्भ-शिरहरूलाई लिली फुलको आकारमा सजाइयो । यसरी स्तम्भहरूको काम सम्पन्न भयो ।
The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
23 हुरामले ढालेर बनाइएको धातुको विशाल खड्कुँलो बनाए जसको बिट एउटा किनारादेखि अर्को किनारासम्म दस हात थियो । यसको उचाइ पाँच हात थियो, र परिधि तिस हात थियो ।
Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
24 त्यस विशाल खड्कुँलोका चारैतिर बाहिरपट्टि बिटमुनि हरेक हातमा दसवटा लौका बनाइएका थिए, र खड्कुँलो र लौका दुवै एउटै टुक्रा धातुबाट बनाइएका थिए ।
Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
25 खड्कुँलोलाई बाह्रवटा गोरुमाथि राखिएको थियो– तिनवटा उत्तरतिर फर्केका, तिनवटा पश्चिमतिर फर्केका, तिनवटा दक्षिणतिर फर्केका र तिनवटा पूर्वतिर फर्केका थिए । खड्कुँलो तीमाथि राखिएको थियो, र तिनका सबै पछिल्ला भाग भित्रपट्टि फर्केका थिए ।
Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
26 खड्कुँलोको चौडाइ चार अङ्गुल थियो, र यसको बिटचाहिँ कचौराको बिटजस्तो फक्रेको लिली फुलजस्तो थियो । यसमा लगभग चवालिस हजार लिटर पानी अटाउँथ्यो ।
The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
27 हुरामले काँसाका दसवटा आधार बनाए । प्रत्येक आधार चार हात लामो, चार हात चौडा र तिन हात अग्लो थियो ।
Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
28 ती आधार यसरी बनाइएका थिएः तिनका वरिपरिका पाटाहरू ठाडो फ्रेममा जोडिएका थिए,
[On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
29 र ती पाटा र फ्रेमहरूमा सिंह, गोरु र करूबहरू थिए । सिंह र गोरुहरूको माथि र तल ढलौटे मालाहरू थिए ।
On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
30 प्रत्येक आधारमा काँसाका धुरा भएका चारवटा चक्का थिए, र हरेकमा चार टेकामा अडेको एउटा बाटा थियो जसको चारैतिर ढलौटे मालाहरू थिए ।
Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
31 आधारभित्र खुला भाग थियो, जसको गोलाकार साढे एक हात थियो, र त्यसभित्र एक हात अग्लो मुकुट थियो । त्यसको खुला भागको वरिपरि बुट्टाहरू कुँदिएका थिए, र आधारका पाटाहरू गोलाकार नभई वर्गाकार थिए ।
On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
32 चारवटा चक्का पाटाहरूको मुनि थिए, र चक्काहरूका धुरा आधारसँग गाँसिएका थिए । हरेक चक्काको उचाइ साढे एक हात थियो ।
The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
33 ती चक्काहरू रथका चक्काजस्ता थिए । तिनका धुरा, बिट, सुइरा र नाभि सबै ढालेर बनाइएका धातुका थिए ।
The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
34 हरेक आधारका चारवटा समात्ने बिँड एउटा-एउटा कुनामा थिए, जुन आधारबाट बाहिर निस्केका थिए ।
At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
35 आधारहरूको टुप्पामा आधा हात गहिरो गोलाकार धातुको फित्ता थियो, अनि आधारका टेका र पाटाहरू त्यसकै टुप्पासँग गाँसिएका थिए ।
There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
36 पाटा र टेकाहरूका खाली ठाउँमा हुरामले करूबहरू, सिंहहरू र खजूरका रुखहरूको चित्र कुँदी त्यसको वरिपरि मालाहरू लगाए ।
The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
37 यसरी नै तिनले दसवटा आधार बनाए । ती सबै एउटै नाप र एउटै आकार भएका ढालेर बनाइएका थिए ।
That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
38 हुरामले काँसाका दसवटा बाटा बनाए । एउटा बाटामा आठ सय असी लिटर पानी अटाउँथ्यो । हरेक बाटा चार हातको थियो, र दसवटै आधारका लागि एउटा-एउटा बाटा थियो ।
Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
39 तिनले पाँचवटा आधार मन्दिरको दक्षिणपट्टि र पाँचवटा आधार उत्तरपट्टि राखे । तिनले खड्कुँलोचाहि मन्दिरको दक्षिणपट्टि फर्कने गरी पूर्वी किनारामा राखे ।
Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
40 हुरामले बाटाहरू, बेल्चाहरू र छर्कने बाटाहरू बनाए । यसरी तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सोलोमन राजाको लागि सबै काम सिद्ध्याए ।
Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
41 तिनले दुईवटा स्तम्भ, स्तम्भको टुप्पामा कचौरा आकारका दुईवटा स्तम्भ-शिर माथिका स्तम्भ-शिरहरू सजाउने दुईवटा बुट्टादार जाली बनाए ।
the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
42 तिनले दुईवटा सजाउने जालीका निम्ति चार सयवटा दारिम (दुईवटा स्तम्भका कचौराको आकार भएका स्तम्भ-शिरलाई ढाक्ने प्रत्येक जालीको निम्ति दुई पङ्क्ति दारिम),
the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
43 दसवटा आधार र आधारमाथि राख्नलाई दसवटा बाटा बनाए ।
the ten carts; the ten basins;
44 तिनले खड्कुँलो भनिने विशाल बाटा र त्यसको मुन्तिर बाह्रवटा गोरु,
the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
45 भाँडाकुँडाहरू, बेल्चाहरू, बाटाहरू अनि सबै चिजहरू बनाए । हुरामले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको लागि सोलोमन राजाको निम्ति टल्काइएका काँसाबाट बनाएका थिए ।
the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
46 राजाले ती यर्दनको मैदानमा सुक्कोत र सार्तानको बिचमा ढालेर बनाउन लगाएका थिए ।
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
47 सोलोमनले धेरै भाँडाकुँडा बनाएकाले तिनले जोखेनन् । तिनले काँसाको ओजन निधो गरेनन् ।
Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
48 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखिने सबै सजाउने सामान सुनबाट बनाएका थिएः सुनको वेदी, उपस्थितिको रोटी राखिने सुनको टेबुल,
Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
49 निखुर सुनका सामदानहरू जसलाई भित्री कोठाको दाहिनेपट्टि पाँचवटा र देब्रेपट्टि पाँचवटा गरी राखिन्थ्यो; फुलको आकारका सुनका बुट्टाहरू, बत्तीहरू र चिम्टाहरू ।
the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
50 सोलोमनले गिलासहरू, सलेदाका चिम्टाहरू, बाटाहरू, चम्चाहरू र धुपोराहरू पनि बनाए र यी सबै निखुर सुनका थिए । तिनले भित्री कोठा (अर्थात् महा-पवित्रस्थान) का ढोकाहरू र मन्दिरको मुख्य सभाकक्षका ढोकाहरूका निम्ति सुनका खोपिल्टाहरू पनि बनाए ।
the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
51 यसरी सोलोमन राजाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको निम्ति सबै काम गरी सिद्ध्याए । त्यसैले सोलोमनले आफ्ना पिता दाऊदद्वारा अलग गरिएका चीजहरू अर्थात् चाँदी, सुन, सजाउने सामानहरू भित्र ल्याई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका भण्डारमा राखे ।
So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
