१ राजाहरू 8

1 तब सोलोमनले इस्राएलका सबै धर्म-गुरु, कुल-कुलका नायकहरू र इस्राएलका परिवारका मुख्य-मुख्य व्यक्तिहरूलाई सियोन अर्थात् दाऊदको सहरबाट परमप्रभुको सन्दुक ल्याउनलाई यरूशलेममा जम्मा गरे ।

Then all those greater by birth of Israel, with the leaders of the tribes and the rulers of the families of the sons of Israel, gathered together before king Solomon at Jerusalem, so that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, from the city of David, that is, from Zion.

2 एतानीम महिना अर्थात् सातौँ महिनामा चाडको अवसरमा इस्राएलका सबै मानिस सोलोमन राजाको सामु भेला भए ।

And all of Israel assembled before king Solomon, on the solemn day in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

3 इस्राएलका सबै धर्म-गुरु आए, अनि पुजारीहरूले सन्दुक उठाए ।

And all the elders of Israel arrived, and the priests took up the ark.

4 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको सन्दुक, भेट हुने पाल र पालभित्र भएका सजावटका सबै पवित्र सामान ल्याए । पुजारी र लेवीहरूले यी सामानहरू ल्याएका थिए ।

And they carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the Sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites carried these.

5 सोलोमन राजा र इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय सन्दुकको सामु भेला भए, अनि तिनीहरूले असङ्ख्य भेडाहरू र गोरुहरू बलिदान चढाए ।

Then king Solomon, and the entire multitude of Israel, who had assembled before him, advanced with him before the ark. And they immolated sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered or estimated.

6 पुजारीहरूले परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुकलाई त्यसको उचित स्थान अर्थात् करूबहरूको छायामुनि मन्दिरको महा-पवित्रस्थानमा लगेर राखे ।

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

7 किनकि करूबहरूले सन्दुक राखिएको ठाउँको माथि आ-आफ्ना पखेटा फैलाएका थिए, र ती पखेटाले सन्दुक र त्यसका डन्डाहरूमाथि छाया पारेका थिए ।

For indeed, the cherubim extended their wings over the place of the ark, and they protected the ark and its bars from above.

8 यी डन्डाहरू यति लामा-लामा थिए, कि तिनका टुप्पाहरू महा-पवित्रस्थानको सामु पवित्रस्थानबाट देख्न सकिन्थे, तर तिनलाई बाहिरबाट भने देख्न सकिँदैनथ्यो । ती आजको दिनसम्म त्यहीँ छन् ।

And since the bars projected outward, their ends were visible from without, in the Sanctuary before the oracle; but they were not visible farther outward. And they have been in that place even to the present day.

9 इस्राएलीहरू मिश्र देशबाट आउँदा परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूसित करार बाँध्नुहुँदा होरेब पर्वतमा मोशाले दुईवटा शिला-पाटी सन्दुकभित्र राखेका थिए, र सन्दुकभित्र यी शिला-पाटीहरू मात्र थिए ।

Now inside the ark, there was nothing other than the two tablets of stone, which Moses had placed in it at Horeb, when the Lord formed a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they departed from the land of Egypt.

10 पुजारीहरू पवित्रस्थानबाट बाहिर आउँदा परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बादलले भरियो ।

Then it happened that, when the priests had exited from the Sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the Lord.

11 बादलको कारणले पुजारीहरूले सेवा गर्न सकेनन् किनकि परमप्रभुको महिमाले उहाँको मन्दिर भरिएको थियो ।

And the priests were unable to stand and minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

12 तब सोलोमनले भने, “परमप्रभु बाक्लो बादलमा बस्नुहुनेथियो भनी उहाँले भन्नुभएको थियो,

Then Solomon said: “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a cloud.

13 तर तपाईं सदासर्वदै रहनलाई मैले एउटा शोभनीय वासस्थान निर्माण गरेको छु ।”

Building, I have built a house as your dwelling place, your most firm throne forever.”

14 तब राजा फर्केर उभिरहेका इस्राएलका सारा समुदायलाई आशिष् दिए ।

And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire assembly of Israel. For the entire assembly of Israel was standing.

15 तिनले भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको स्तुति होस् जो मेरा पिता दाऊदसित बोल्नुभयो, र जसले यसो भन्दै आफ्नै हातले यो कुरा पुरा गर्नुभएको छ,

And Solomon said: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to my father David, and who, with his own hands, has perfected it, saying:

16 'मैले मेरो जाति इस्राएललाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएको दिनदेखि मेरो नाउँ राख्नको लागि मैले इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट कुनै पनि सहर छानिनँ ।

‘From the day when I led my people Israel away from Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built, and so that my name might be there. Instead, I chose David to be over my people Israel.’

17 तथापि मेरो जाति इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न मैले दाऊदलाई छानेँ ।' इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा एउटा भवन निर्माण गर्ने इच्छा मेरा पिता दाऊदको ह्रदयमा थियो ।

And my father David wanted to build a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

18 तर परमप्रभुले मेरा पिता दाऊदलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तेरो ह्रदयमा मेरो नाउँमा एउटा भवन निर्माण गर्ने इच्छा राम्रै छ ।

But the Lord said to my father David: ‘Since you have planned in your heart to build a house to my name, you have done well by considering this plan in your mind.

19 तरै पनि तैँले त्यो भवन बनाउने छैनस्, बरु तेरो छोरो अर्थात् तेरो आफ्नै रगत र मासुको छोरोले मेरो नाउँमा भवन बनाउने छ ।'

Yet truly, you shall not build a house for me. Instead, your son, who shall go forth from your loins, he himself shall build a house to my name.’

20 परमप्रभुले आफूले भन्नुभएको वचन पुरा गर्नुभएको छ, किनकि म मेरा पिता दाऊदको ठाउँमा खडा भएको छु, र परमप्रभुले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ म इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा बसेको छु । मैले इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा घर बनाएको छु ।

The Lord has confirmed his word which he spoke. And so I stand in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord said. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

21 मैले त्यहाँ सन्दुकको निम्ति ठाउँ बनाएको छु जसमा परमप्रभुको करार राखिएको छ । उहाँले मिश्रबाट हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई ल्याउनुहँदा उहाँले तिनीहरूसित यो करार बाँध्नुभएको थियो ।”

And there I have appointed a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he struck with our fathers, when they went forth from the land of Egypt.”

22 सोलोमन परमप्रभुको वेदी र इस्राएलका सारा समुदायको सामुन्ने खडा भए, र स्वर्गतिर आफ्ना हात फैलाए ।

Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord, in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and he extended his hands toward heaven.

23 तिनले भने, “हे इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु, माथि स्वर्गमा वा तल पृथ्वीमा तपाईंजस्तो कुनै ईश्वर छैन जसले आफ्ना सारा ह्रदयले तपाईंको अगि हिँड्ने तपाईंका दासहरूसित करारको विश्वसनीयता कायम राख्नुहुन्छ ।

And he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, nor on the earth below. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart.

24 तपाईंले आफ्ना दास अर्थात् मेरा पिता दाऊदसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको वचन पुरा गर्नुभएको छ । हो, तपाईंले आफ्नो मुखले बोल्नुभयो र त्यसलाई आफ्नो हातले पुरा गर्नुभयो जस्तो आज हुन आएको छ ।

You have fulfilled, for your servant David, my father, that which you said to him. With your mouth, you spoke; and with your hands, you completed; just as this day proves.

25 अब हे इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु, तपाईंका दास अर्थात् मेरा पिता दाऊदसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको वचन पुरा गर्नुहोस् । तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, 'तँ मेरो अगि हिँडेजस्तै तेरा सन्तानहरू मेरो अगि हिँड्न होसियार भए भने इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा बस्न कुनै मानिसको अभाव हुने छैन ।'

Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill, for your servant David, my father, that which you spoke to him, saying, ‘There shall not be taken away from you a man before me, who may sit upon the throne of Israel, if only your sons will guard their way, so that they walk before me, just as you have walked in my sight.’

26 अब हे इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, तपाईंले आफ्ना दास अर्थात् मेरा पिता दाऊदसित बोल्नुभएको तपाईंको वचन पुरा होस् ।

And now, O Lord God of Israel, establish your words, which you spoke to your servant David, my father.

27 तर के परमेश्वर साँच्चै नै पृथ्वीमा बस्नुहुन्छ र? सारा विश्व र आकाशमा पनि तपाईं अटाउनुहुन्न भने मैले बनाएको यस मन्दिरमा तपाईं कसरी अटाउन सक्नुहुन्छ त!

Is it, then, to be understood that truly God would dwell upon the earth? For if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain you, how much less this house, which I have built?

28 तरै पनि हे परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, तपाईंका दासको यस प्रार्थना र बिन्तीलाई आदर गरिदिनुहोस् । आज तपाईंका दासले तपाईंको सामु टक्र्याउने प्रार्थना र पुकारालाई सुनिदिनुहोस् ।

Yet look with favor upon the prayer of your servant and upon his petitions, O Lord, my God. Listen to the hymn and the prayer, which your servant prays before you this day,

29 रातदिन यस मन्दिरतर्फ तपाईंका आँखा खुला रहोस् जुन ठाउँको बारेमा तपाईंले भन्नुभएको छ, 'त्यहाँ मेरो नाउँ र उपस्थिति रहने छ' ताकि तपाईंका दासले यस ठाउँतर्फ चढाएका प्रार्थनाहरू तपाईंले सुन्नुभएको होस् ।

so that your eyes may be open over this house, night and day, over the house about which you said, ‘My name shall be there,’ so that you may heed the prayer that your servant is praying in this place to you.

30 त्यसैले हामीले यस ठाउँतर्फ फर्केर प्रार्थना गर्दा तपाईंका दास र तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलको बिन्तीलाई सुनिदिनुहोस् । हो, तपाईं बसोबास गर्नुहुने ठाउँ अर्थात् स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस् । तपाईंले सुन्नुभएपछि क्षमा दिनुहोस् ।

So may you heed the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel, whatever they will pray for in this place, and so may you heed them in your dwelling place in heaven. And when you heed, you will be gracious.

31 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीको विरुद्धमा पाप गरी त्यसलाई शपथ खान लगाइयो र त्यसले यस मन्दिरभित्रको वेदीको सामु आई शपथ खायो भने

But if any man sins against his neighbor, and he has any kind of an oath by which he is bound, and he arrives because of the oath, before your altar in your house,

32 स्वर्गबाट सुनेर जवाफ दिनुहोस् । दोषीहरूलाई दण्डाज्ञा दिँदै तिनीहरूले गरेको खराबी तिनीहरूकै शिरमाथि खन्याउँदै आफ्ना दासहरूको न्याय गर्नुहोस् । निर्दोषहरूलाई दोषी नठहराउनुहोस् र तिनीहरूको धार्मिकताअनुसार तिनीहरूको प्रतिफल दिनुहोस् ।

you will hear in heaven, and you will act and judge your servants, condemning the impious, and repaying his own way upon his own head, but justifying the just, and rewarding him in accord with his justice.

33 तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेकाले तिनीहरू शत्रुबाट पराजित हुँदा तिनीहरू तपाईंकहाँ फर्की तपाईंको नाउँलाई पुकारे, प्रार्थना गरे र तपाईंको मन्दिरमा क्षमाको अनुरोध गरे भने

And if your people Israel will have fled from their enemies, because they have sinned against you, and doing penance and confessing to your name, shall arrive and pray and petition you in this house,

34 तब स्वर्गमा सुन्नुहोस् र तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलको पाप क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् । तपाईंले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको देशमा तिनीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनुहोस् ।

listen in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and lead them back to the land, which you gave to their fathers.

35 मानिसहरूले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेकाले आकाश बन्द भई वृष्टि रोकिँदा तिनीहरूले यस ठाउँतर्फ फर्केर प्रार्थना गरी तपाईंको नाउँ पुकारे र तिनीहरूलाई कष्ट आउँदा तिनीहरूका पापबाट फर्के भने

And if the heavens have closed, so that there is no rain, because of their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to your name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions,

36 स्वर्गमा सुन्नुहोस् र तपाईंका दासहरूसाथै तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलको पाप क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् अनि तिनीहरू कसरी चल्नुपर्ने हो भनी तिनीहरूलाई असल तरिका सिकाउनुहोस् । सम्पत्तिको रूपमा तपाईंले आफ्नो जातिलाई दिनुभएको तपाईंको देशमा वृष्टि ल्याइदिनुहोस् ।

hear them from heaven, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel. And reveal to them the good way, along which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as a possession.

37 जब देशमा अनिकाल पर्दा वा रोग, विपत्ति, वनस्पति ओइलाउने ढुसी वा शीत वा सलहहरू वा झुसिलकिराहरू आउँदा वा तिनीहरूको कुनै सहरमा मूलद्वारमा शत्रुले आक्रमण गर्‍यो वा त्यहाँ कुनै विपत्ति वा रोग लाग्दा,

Then, if famine rises over the land, or pestilence, or corrupt air, or blight, or locust, or mildew, or if their enemy afflicts them, besieging the gates, or any harm or infirmity,

38 कुनै एक व्यक्ति वा तपाईंको सारा जाति इस्राएलले हरेकले आफ्नो ह्रदयको दुःख सम्झेर आफ्नो हात यस मन्दिरतिर उचाली प्रार्थना र बिन्ती चढायो भने

or whatever curse or divine intervention may happen to any man among your people Israel, if anyone understands, having been wounded in his heart, and if he will have extended his hands in this house,

39 स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस् जहाँ तपाईं बस्नुहुन्छ, तिनीहरूलाई क्षमा दिनुहोस् र हरेकले गरेअनुसार त्यसको प्रतिफल दिनुहोस् । किनकि तपाईंले मात्र सारा मानव-जातिका ह्रदय जान्नुहुन्छ ।

you will hear in heaven, in your dwelling place, and you will forgive. And you will act so that you give to each one in accord with his own ways, just as you see in his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the sons of men.

40 तपाईंले हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको यस देशमा तिनीहरू बस्दा तिनीहरूको जीवनभर तिनीहरू तपाईंदेखि डराऊन् भन्नाका लागि यसै गर्नुहोस् ।

So may they fear you, all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you have given to our fathers.

41 यसको अतिरिक्त, तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलभन्दा बाहिरको कुनै परदेशी तपाईंको नाउँको कारणले टाढाको देशबाट आएको छ–

Moreover, the foreigner too, who is not of your people Israel, when he will have arrived from a distant land because of your name, for they shall hear about your great name, and your strong hand,

42 किनकि त्यसले तपाईंको महान् नाउँ, तपाईंको शक्तिशाली हात र तपाईंको फैलाइएको पाखुराको बारेमा सुनेको छ– र यस मन्दिरतर्फ हेरेर प्रार्थना चढाएको छ भने

and your outstretched arm everywhere: so when he arrives and prays in this place,

43 तब स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस् जहाँ तपाईं बस्नुहुन्छ अनि त्यस परदेशीले मागेको कुरा दिनुहोस् । तपाईंले आफ्नो जाति इस्राएललाई गरेजस्तै पृथ्वीका सबै जातिले तपाईंको नाउँलाई जानी तपाईंदेखि डराऊन् भन्ने हेतुले यसो गर्नुहोस् । मैले बनाएको यो घरमा तपाईंको नाउँ राखिएको छ भनी तिनीहरूले जान्न सकून् भनेर यसो गर्नुहोस् ।

you will listen in heaven, in the firmament of your dwelling place. And you will do all the things, for which that foreigner will have called upon you. So may all the peoples of the earth learn to fear your name, just as your people Israel do. And so may they show that your name has been invoked over this house, which I have built.

44 तपाईंले जुनसुकै बाटो भएर पठाउनुभए तापनि तपाईंको जाति शत्रुको विरुद्धमा लड्न बाहिर गएको छ, र हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूले तपाईंले चुन्नुभएको सहर र मैले तपाईंको नाउँमा बनाएको मन्दिरतर्फ हेरेर तपाईंमा प्रार्थना चढाएका छन् भने

And if your people have gone out to war against their enemies, along whatever way you will send them, they shall pray to you in the direction of the city, which you have chosen, and toward the house, which I have built to your name.

45 स्वर्गमा तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना र बिन्ती सुनेर तिनीहरूलाई मदत गर्नुहोस् ।

And you will hear in heaven their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish judgment for them.

46 पाप नगर्ने कोही नभएकोले तिनीहरूले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छन्, र तपाईं तिनीहरूसित रिसाउनुभई तिनीहरूलाई शत्रुको हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभएको छ र शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको देशबाट धेरै टाढाको देशमा निर्वासनमा लगेका छन्,

But if they sin against you, for there is no man who does not sin, and you, being angry, deliver them to their enemies, and they will have been led away as captives to the land of their enemies, whether far or near,

47 र तिनीहरू निर्वासित भएर अर्कै देशमा लगिएका रहेछन् भनी तिनीहरूले थाहा पाएपछि तिनीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गरेर तिनीहरूलाई निर्वासित गर्नेहरूको देशबाट तिनीहरूले तपाईंको निगाह खोजेका छन् र तिनीहरूले 'हामीले बाटो बिराई पाप गरेका छौँ, हामीले दुष्टतापूर्वक व्यवहार गरेका छौँ'

and if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and having been converted, make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we acted unjustly; we committed impiety,’

48 भनेर भनेमा र तिनीहरूलाई निर्वासित बनाएर लैजानेहरू अर्थात् तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूको देशमा तिनीहरूका सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले तिनीहरू तपाईंकहाँ फर्के भने र तिनीहरूले तपाईंले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको तपाईंको देश र तपाईंले छान्नुभएको सहर र मैले तपाईंको नाउँमा बनाएको यस मन्दिरतर्फ हेरी तपाईंलाई प्रार्थना चढाए भने,

and they return to you with all their heart and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led away as captives, and if they pray to you in the direction of their land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the temple, which I have built to your name:

49 तब तपाईंको वासस्थान स्वर्गबाट मदतको लागि तिनीहरूले चढाएको प्रार्थना र अनुरोध सुन्नुहोस् । यसरी तिनीहरूसितको सम्बन्ध पुनर्स्थापित हुने छ ।

you will hear in heaven, in the firmament of your throne, their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish their judgment.

50 तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका तपाईंको जातिलाई क्षमा दिनुहोस्, र तिनीहरूले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा गरेका सबै अधर्म क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् अनि तिनीहरूका विजेताहरूका सामु तिनीहरूलाई दया देखाउनुहोस् र तिनीहरूका विजेताहरूलाई पनि तिनीहरूमाथि दया देखाउन लगाइदिनुहोस् ।

And you will forgive your people, who have sinned against you, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against you. And you will grant to them mercy in the sight of those who have made them captives, so that they may take pity on them.

51 तिनीहरू तपाईंले चुन्नुभएका तपाईंका जाति हुन् जसलाई तपाईंले फलाम गल्ने भट्टीको बिचबाट अर्थात् मिश्रबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।

For they are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led away from the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.

52 तपाईंका दास र तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलले जुनसुकै बेला तपाईंलाई पुकारा गर्दा तिनीहरूको कुरा सुन्न तपाईंका आँखा खुला रहून् ।

So may your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel. And so may you heed them in all the things about which they will call upon you.

53 किनकि हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुहुँदा तपाईंका दास मोशालाई व्याख्या गर्नुभएझैँ तपाईंकै हुन र तपाईंका प्रतिज्ञाहरू प्राप्त गर्न तपाईंले नै तिनीहरूलाई पृथ्वीका सबै जातिबाट अलग गर्नुभयो ।”

For you have separated them to yourself as an inheritance, from among all the peoples of the earth, just as you spoke by Moses, your servant, when you led our fathers away from Egypt, O Lord God.”

54 जब सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको सामु यी सबै प्रार्थना र बिन्ती चढाएर सिद्ध्याए, तब तिनी परमप्रभुको वेदीबाट उठे जहाँ तिनले घुँडा टेकेर आफ्ना हात स्वर्गतिर फैलाएका थिए ।

And it happened that, when Solomon had completed praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he rose up from the sight of the altar of the Lord. For he had fixed both knees upon the ground, and he had extended his hands toward heaven.

55 “परमप्रभुको स्तुति होस्, जसले आफ्ना सबै प्रतिज्ञा पुरा गरी आफ्नो जाति इस्राएललाई विश्राम दिनुभएको छ ।

Then he stood and blessed the entire assembly of Israel in a great voice, saying:

56 परमप्रभुले आफ्ना दास मोशासित गर्नुभएका असल प्रतिज्ञाहरूमध्ये एउटै पनि विफल भएको छैन ।

“Blessed is the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel, in accord with all that he said. Not even one word, out of all the good things that he spoke by his servant Moses, has fallen away.

57 परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूसित हुनुभएझैँ हामीसित पनि होऊन् । उहाँले हामीलाई कहिल्यै नछोडून्, न त त्यागून् ।

May the Lord our God be with us, just as he was with our fathers, not abandoning us, and not rejecting us.

58 उहाँका सबै मार्गमा जिउन, र उहाँले हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएका उहाँका आदेशहरूसाथै निर्देशनहरू अनि विधिविधानहरू पालन गर्न उहाँले हाम्रा ह्रदय आफूतर्फ फर्काऊन् ।

But may he incline our hearts to himself, so that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and whatever judgments he commanded to our fathers.

59 मैले परमप्रभुको सामु चढाएका यी वचनहरू रातदिन परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको नजिक रहून् ताकि दिनप्रतिदिनको खाँचोअनुसार तपाईंको दास र तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलको कारण मदत मिलोस्,

And may these my words, by which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God, day and night, so that he may accomplish judgment for his servant and for his people Israel, throughout each day.

60 ताकि पृथ्वीका सबै जातिले परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँबाहेक अर्को ईश्वर छैन भनी जानून् ।

So may all the peoples of the earth know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.

61 त्यसकारण, आजको दिनमा झैँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरका विधिविधानहरू र उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्न तिमीहरूको ह्रदय उहाँप्रति साँचा होऊन् ।

Also, may our hearts be perfect with the Lord our God, so that we may walk in his decrees, and keep his commandments, as also on this day.”

62 त्यसैले राजा र तिनीसँगै सारा इस्राएलले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदानहरू चढाए ।

Then the king, and all of Israel with him, immolated victims before the Lord.

63 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बाइस हजार गाईवस्तु र एक लाख बिस हजार भेडा-बाख्रा मेलबलिको रूपमा चढाए । यसरी राजा र इस्राएलका सारा समुदायले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर समर्पण गरे ।

And Solomon slew sacrifices of peace offerings, which he immolated to the Lord: twenty-two thousand oxen, and twenty thousand one hundred sheep. And the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.

64 त्यसै दिन राजाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको सामु चोकको बिचको भागलाई पनि अर्पण गरे, अनि तिनले त्यहाँ होमबलि, अन्नबलि र मेलबलिको बोसो चढाए, किनकि परमप्रभुको सामु राखिएको काँसाको वेदी यति सानो थियो कि त्यहाँ होमबलि, अन्नबलि र मेलबलिको बोसो चढाउन सकिँदैनथ्यो ।

On that day, the king sanctified the middle of the atrium, which was before the house of the Lord. For in that place, he offered holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of peace offerings. For the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, was too small and was not able to hold the holocaust, and the sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings.

65 यसैले सोलोमनले त्यस बेला एउटा चाड मनाए । त्यहाँ लेबो-हमातदेखि मिश्रको खोलासम्मका सारा इस्राएल, ठुलो समुदायले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको सामु सात दिन र अर्को सात दिन गरी जम्मा चौध दिनसम्म चाड मनाए ।

Then Solomon made, at that time, a celebratory festival, and all of Israel with him, a great multitude, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt, in the sight of the Lord our God, for seven days plus seven days, that is, fourteen days.

66 आठौँ दिनमा तिनले मानिसहरूलाई बिदा दिए, र तिनीहरूले राजालाई धन्यको भने अनि परमप्रभुले आफ्ना दास दाऊद र आफ्नो जाति इस्राएलको निम्ति गर्नुभएका सबै असल कार्यको कारण हर्षित र आनन्दित हृदयसाथ तिनीहरू आ-आफ्ना घरतर्फ लागे ।

And on the eighth day, he dismissed the people. And blessing the king, they set out for their tents, rejoicing and cheerful in heart over all the good things that the Lord had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.
