१ राजाहरू 9

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

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to perform,

2 गिबोनमा देखा पर्नुभएझैँ परमप्रभु दोस्रो पटक सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो ।

That the LORD appeared to Solomon the 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 ।

And the LORD said to him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

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,

And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:

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 thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon 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 ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship 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 the land which I have given them; and this house which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by-word among all people:

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?’

And at this house [which] is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus 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' ।”

And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers from the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshiped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

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

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,

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 trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

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

And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.

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 ।

And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.

14 हीरामले राजालाई चार टन सुन पठाएका थिए ।

And Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty 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 ।

And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and 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 ।

[For] Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it [for] a present to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

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

And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,

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

And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

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 cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

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

[And] all the people [that were] left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who [were] not of the children 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 children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bond-service to this day.

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

But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bond-men: but they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, 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] the chief of the officers that [were] over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, who bore rule over the people that wrought in the work.

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

But Pharaoh's daughter came up from the city of David to her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then he built 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 ।

And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he built to the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before the LORD. So he finished the house.

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

And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which [is] beside Eloth, 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 ।

And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

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

And they came to Ophir, and imported from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Solomon.
