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 with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

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

All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

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

All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked 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 ।

They brought up the LORD’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.

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

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

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

The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.

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

For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles 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 ।

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there to 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 except the two stone tablets 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 ।

It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the LORD’s house,

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

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.

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

Then Solomon said, “The LORD has 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 a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

14 तब राजा फर्केर उभिरहेका इस्राएलका सारा समुदायलाई आशिष् दिए ।

The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly 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,

He said, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your 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 my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; 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 ।

“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for 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 David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for 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 who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for 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 established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for 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 ।”

There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, 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 ।

Solomon stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands towards 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, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness 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 ।

who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

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, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to 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 ।

“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, 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!

But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t 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 respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;

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 towards this house night and day, even towards the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays towards 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 ।

Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray towards this place. Yes, hear 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 a man sins against his neighbour, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears 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 in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own 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 are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to 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 in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again 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

“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray towards 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 in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on 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 is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,

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

whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands towards 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 in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all 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 to our fathers.

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

“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he 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 mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays towards 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 in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples 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, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD towards the city which you have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for your name,

45 स्वर्गमा तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना र बिन्ती सुनेर तिनीहरूलाई मदत गर्नुहोस् ।

then hear 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 who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off 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 repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly,’

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,

if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you towards their land which you gave to 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 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 who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those 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 are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);

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 to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to 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 separated them from amongst all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, 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 ।

It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the LORD’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out towards heaven.

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

He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

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

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

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 as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or 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 to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, 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,

Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;

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

that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD himself is God. There is no one 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 it is today.”

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

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 ।

Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the LORD’s house.

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 the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the LORD’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, 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 ।

So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more 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 to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
