१ राजाहरू 9

1 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजदरबार बनाएर सिद्ध्याएछि र तिनले चाहेका कुरा सबै सम्पन्न गरेपछि

After Solomon had finished building the house of Yahweh and the king's palace, and after he had accomplished all that he wanted to do,

2 गिबोनमा देखा पर्नुभएझैँ परमप्रभु दोस्रो पटक सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो ।

Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 तब परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले मेरो सामु राखेको प्रार्थना र बिन्ती मैले सुनेको छु । मैले तैँले बनाएको यो मन्दिर सदासर्वदा मेरो नाउँ राख्न आफ्नै लागि अलग गरेको छु । मेरा आँखा र मेरो मन सधैँभरि त्यहाँ हुने छ ।

Then Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your request that you have made before me. I have set apart this house, which you have built, to myself, to put my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

4 मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै आज्ञा पालन गरी मेरा विधिविधानहरू र उर्दीहरू मानेर ह्रदयको सत्यनिष्ठा र सोझोपनमा तेरा पिता दाऊद हिँडेझैँ तँ मेरो सामु हिँडिस् भने,

As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked in integrity of heart and in uprightness, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,

5 म इस्राएलमाथि तेरो राज्यको सिंहासन सदाको निम्ति स्थापित गर्ने छु, जस्तो मैले तेरा पिता दाऊदलाई यसो भनी प्रतिज्ञा गरेको थिएँ, 'इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा बस्न तेरो सन्तानको कहिल्यै अभाव हुने छैन ।'

then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be on the throne of Israel.'

6 तर तँ र तेरा छोराछोरीहरू तर्केर गई मैले तेरो सामु राखेका मेरा आज्ञा र विधिविधानहरू पालन नगरी अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गर्‍यौ र तिनीहरूको सामु निहुरियौ भने,

But if you turn away, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have placed before you, and if you go and worship other gods and bow down to them,

7 मैले इस्राएललाई दिएको देशबाट म तिनीहरूलाई निष्कासित गरिदिने छु, र मेरो नाउँको लागि मैले अलग गरेको यो मन्दिरलाई म मेरो दृष्टिबाट मिल्काइदिने छु अनि इस्राएल सबै जातिका बिचमा घृणा र उपहासको उदाहरण बन्ने छ ।

then will I cut off Israel from off the ground that I have given them; and this house that I have set apart to my name, I will cast it out of my sight, and Israel will become an example to be mocked and an object of ridicule among all peoples.

8 यो मन्दिर भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो बन्ने छ, र यसबाट भएर जाने प्रत्येक व्यक्तिले यसको घृणा गर्ने छ । तिनीहरूले सोध्ने छन्, 'परमप्रभुले यो देश र यो मन्दिरलाई किन यसो गर्नुभएको होला?’

This temple will become a heap of ruins, and everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?'

9 अरूहरूले जवाफ दिने छन्, ' तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट ल्याउनुहुने तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई त्यागी अरू देवताहरूको पछि लागी तिनीहरूको सामु निहुरी तिनीहरूलाई पुजेकाले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमाथि यी सबै विपत्ति ल्याउनुभएको हो' ।”

Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”

10 सोलोमनले दुईवटा भवन अर्थात् परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजदरबार बनाएर सिद्ध्याउन तिनलाई बिस वर्ष लाग्यो ।

It came about at the end of twenty years that Solomon had finished building the two buildings, the temple of Yahweh and the king's palace.

11 टुरोसका राजा हीरामले सोलोमनले चाहेका सबै देवदारु र सल्लाका काठ तिनलाई जुटाइदिए । त्यसैले सोलोमन राजाले हीरामलाई गालीलको क्षेत्रमा बिसवटा सहर दिए ।

Now Hiram, the king of Tyre, had furnished Solomon with cedar and cypress trees, and with gold—all that Solomon desired—so King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 सोलोमनले हीरामलाई दिएका सहरहरू हेर्न तिनी टुरोसबाट आए, तर तिनी खुसी भएनन् ।

Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.

13 त्यसैले हीरामले भने, “हे मेरा भाइ, तपाईंले मलाई दिनुभएका यी सहरहरू कस्ता सहरहरू हुन्?” हीरामले ती सहरहरूलाई काबूल देश भने जसलाई आजसम्म पनि त्यही नाउँले चिनिन्छ ।

So Hiram said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” Hiram called them the Land of Kabul, which they are still called today.

14 हीरामले राजालाई चार टन सुन पठाएका थिए ।

Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.

15 सोलोमन राजाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर, आफ्नो निजी दरबार, टेवा दिने गाराहरू, यरूशलेमको पर्खाल, हासोर, मगिद्दो र गेजेर बनाउनलाई बेगार काममा लगाएका मजदुरहरूको विवरण यही हो ।

This is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon imposed to build the temple of Yahweh and his own palace, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 मिश्रका राजा फारोले गेजेरलाई माथि उक्लेर कब्जा गरेका थिए । तिनले यस सहरका कनानीहरूलाई मारेर जलाइदिएका थिए । त्यसपछि फारोले यो सहर आफ्नी छोरी सोलोमनकी पत्नीलाई दाइजोस्वरूप दिएका थिए ।

Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer. He burned it and killed the Canaanites in the city. Then Pharaoh gave the city to his daughter, Solomon's wife, as a wedding gift.

17 त्यसैले सोलोमनले गेजेर र तल्लो बेथ-होरोनलाई पुनर्निर्माण गरे ।

So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Beth Horon the Lower,

18 तिनले बालात र यहूदियाको उजाड-स्थानमा तामार, आफ्नो अधिकारमा भएका सबै भण्डारण गर्ने सहरहरू,

Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land of Judah,

19 र आफ्ना रथहहरू र घोडचढीहरू राख्नका निम्ति सहरहरू बनाए । यरूशलेम, लेबनान र आफूले शासन गरेका सबै इलाकामा आफूले इच्छा गरेअनुसार तिनले बनाउने काम गरे ।

and all the store cities that he possessed, and the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands under his rule.

20 बाँकी रहेका सबै एमोरी, हित्ती, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसी जो इस्राएली थिएनन्,

As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel,

21 तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू जो देशमा बाँकी रहेका थिए, जसलाई इस्राएलीहरूले पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गर्न सकेका थिएनन्, तिनीहरूलाई सोलोमनले बेगार काममा लगाएका थिए जो आजको दिनसम्म छन् ।

their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were not able to totally destroy—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which they are to this day.

22 तथापि, सोलोमनले इस्राएलीहरूलाई भने बेगार काममा लगाएनन् । बरु, तिनीहरू तिनका सिपाहीहरू, अधिकृतहरू र कप्तानहरू अनि सारथीहरूका कप्तान र घोडचढीहरू बने ।

However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers and his servants, his officials, and his officers and commanders of his chariot forces and his horsemen.

23 तिनीहरू सोलोमनका कामको रेखदेख गर्ने अधिकारीहरू पनि बने जसको सङ्ख्या पाँच सय पचास थियो । तिनीहरूले काम गर्ने मानिसहरूको रेखदेख गर्ने काम गर्थे ।

These were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who were over Solomon's works, 550 of them, who supervised the people who did the work.

24 फारोकी छोरी दाऊदको सहरबाट सोलोमनले उनको लागि बनाएको घरमा सरिन् । पछि सोलोमनले टेवा दिने गाराहरू बनाए ।

Pharaoh's daughter moved from the city of David to the house that Solomon had built for her. Later, Solomon built the Millo.

25 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका वेदीमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति धूप बाल्दै तिनले वर्षमा तिन पटक होमबलि र मेलबलिहरू चढाउँथे । यसरी तिनले मन्दिरको काम सम्पन्न गरी त्यसको प्रयोग गरे ।

Three times each year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built for Yahweh, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he completed the temple and was now using it.

26 सोलोमन राजाले लाल समुद्रको किनारमा भएको एदोमको एलात नजिकै एस्योन-गेबेरमा जहाजहरू बनाए ।

King Solomon built a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 हीरामले आफ्ना सेवकहरू अर्थात् समुद्रको विषयमा जान्ने नाविकहरू सोलोमनका मानिसहरूसित काम गर्न सोलोमनका जहाजहरूमा पठाए ।

Hiram sent servants to Solomon's fleet, sailors who were familiar with the sea, with Solomon's own servants.

28 तिनीहरू सोलोमनका सेवकहरूसँगै ओपीरमा गए । त्यहाँबाट तिनीहरूले राजा सोलोमनकहाँ साँढे चौध टन सुन ल्याए ।

They went to Ophir with servants of Solomon. From there they brought back 420 talents of gold for King Solomon.
