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 Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

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

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

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

And all the elders of Israel came, 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 brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

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

And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

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 unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

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

For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof 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 they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this 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 ।

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10 पुजारीहरू पवित्रस्थानबाट बाहिर आउँदा परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बादलले भरियो ।

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

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

So that the priests could not stand to 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 spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

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

I have surely built you an house to dwell in, a settled place for you to abide in for ever.

14 तब राजा फर्केर उभिरहेका इस्राएलका सारा समुदायलाई आशिष् दिए ।

And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood; )

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 he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

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

Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but 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 it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

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

And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build an house unto my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

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

Nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son that shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house unto 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 ।

And the LORD has performed his word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD 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 I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

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

And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth 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, or on earth beneath, who keep covenant and mercy with your servants that 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 ।

Who have kept with your servant David my father that you promised him: you spoke also with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

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 ।'

Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that you promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that your children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as you have walked before me.

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

And now, O God of Israel, let your word, I pray you, be verified, which you spoke unto 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!

But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house that 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 have you respect unto the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which your servant prays before you to 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 ।

That your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall be there: that you may hearken unto the prayer which your servant shall make toward this place.

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 ।

And hearken you to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear you in heaven your dwelling place: and when you hear, forgive.

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

If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before your altar in this 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 ।

Then hear you in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

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

When your people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall return to you, and confess your name, and pray, and make supplication unto you in this house:

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

Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which you gave unto 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

When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:

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 ।

Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, that you teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

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,

If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;

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

What prayer and supplication whatsoever be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward 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 ।

Then hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men; )

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

That they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave unto our fathers.

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

Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of your people Israel, but comes out of a far country for your name's sake;

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

(For they shall hear of your great name, and of your strong hand, and of your stretched out arm; ) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

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 ।

Hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for: that all people of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by your name.

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

If your people go out to battle against their enemy, anywhere you shall send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name:

45 स्वर्गमा तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना र बिन्ती सुनेर तिनीहरूलाई मदत गर्नुहोस् ।

Then hear you in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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,

If they sin against you, (for there is no man that sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, 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'

Yet if they shall call to reflect themselves in the land where they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto you in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

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 so return unto you with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto you toward their land, which you gave unto their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:

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

Then hear you their prayer and their supplication in heaven your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

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 forgive your people that have sinned against you, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against you, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

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

For they be your people, and your inheritance, which you brought forth out 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 ।

That your eyes may be open unto the supplication of your servant, and unto the supplication of your people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto 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 did separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of 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 was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

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

And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

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

Blessed be the LORD, that has given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

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

The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

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

That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded 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 let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:

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

That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.

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

Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

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

And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice 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 offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house 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 ।

The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and food offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and food offerings, 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 ।

And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even 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 ।

On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
