२ इतिहास 1
1 दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमन आफ्नो शासनमा बलियो भएपछि र परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वर तिनको साथमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तिनलाई धेरै शक्तिशाली बनाउनुभयो ।
Solomon, son of David, strengthened his hold over the kingdom, and the Lord God was with him and made him extremely powerful.
2 सबै इस्राएलसित, हजार कमाण्डर र सयका कमाण्डरहरू, र न्यायकर्ताहरू, र सारा इस्राएलमा भएका हरेक शासक, घरानाहरूका मुखियाहरूसित सोलोमनले कुरा गरे ।
Solomon sent for all the Israelite leaders, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every family leader.
3 अनि सोलोमन र तिनीसँग भएका सबै सभा गिबोनमा भएको अग्लो स्थानमा गए, किनकि त्यहाँ परमेश्वरका भेट हुने पाल थियो, जुन परमप्रभुका सेवक मोशाले उजाड-स्थानमा बनाएका थिए ।
Solomon went with the whole assembly to the high place at Gibeon, for this was the site of God's Tent of Meeting that Moses, the Lord's servant, had made in the wilderness.
4 तर दाऊदले परमेश्वरको सन्दूक किर्यत-यारीमबाट आफूले तयार गरेको ठाउँमा माथि ल्याएका थिए, किनकि त्यसको निम्ति तिनले यरूशलेममा पाल टाँगेका थिए ।
David had brought up the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place in Jerusalem where he had set up a tent for it.
5 साथै हूरका नाति, ऊरीका छोरा बजलेलले बनाएको काँसाको वेदी गिबोनमा नै परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानको सामुन्ने थियो । सोलोमन र त्यो सभा त्याहाँ गए ।
However, the bronze altar made by Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, was there in front of the Tent of the Lord, so that is where Solomon and the assembly went to worship.
6 सोलोमन भेट हुने पालमा परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने भएको काँसाको वेदीमा गए र त्यसमा एक हजार होमबलि चढाए ।
Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord, in front of the Tent of Meeting. There he presented one thousand burnt offerings.
7 त्यस रात परमेश्वर सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “माग्, म तँलाई के दिऊँ?”
That night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what you want me to give you.”
8 सोलोमनले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई महान् करारको विश्वस्तता देखाउनुभएको छ र मलाई उहाँको सट्टामा राजा तुल्याउनुभएको छ ।
Solomon responded to God, “You showed trustworthy love without limit to my father David, and you have made me king in his place.
9 अब हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई दिनुभएको तपाईंको प्रतिज्ञा पुरा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि पृथ्वीको धुलो जत्तिकै अनगन्ती मानिसमाथि तपाईंले मलाई राजा बनाउनुभएको छ ।
Lord God, please keep the promise you made to my father David. You have made me king over a nation that has as many people as the dust of the earth.
10 अब मलाई बुद्धि र ज्ञान दिनुहोस् ताकि यी मानिसलाई म नेतृत्व गर्न सकूँ, किनकि यति धेरै सङ्ख्यामा रहेका तपाईंका मानिसहरूको न्याय कसले गर्न सक्छ र?”
Please give me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people—for who can rule with justice this great people of yours?”
11 परमेश्वरले सोलोमनलाई भन्नुभयो, “किनभने तेरो हृदयमा यो कुरा छ, र तैंले समृद्धि, धन-सम्पत्ति वा आदर मागिनस् न त तँलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूको प्राण, न त आफ्नो निम्ति दीर्घायु नै मागिस्, तर आफ्नो निम्ति तैंले बुद्धि र ज्ञान मागिस् ताकि तैंले मेरा मानिसमाथि शासन सक्छस् जसमाथि मैले तँलाई राजा बनाएको छु, र म यसै गर्नेछु ।
God told Solomon: “Because this is what you really wanted, and you didn't ask for wealth, possessions, or honor, or the death of those who hate you, or for a long life, but instead you asked for wisdom and knowledge so you can rule with justice my people that I have made you king over;
12 अब म तँलाई बुद्धि र ज्ञान दिनेछु । म तँलाई यस्तो समृद्धि, धन-सम्पत्ति, र आदर पनि दिनेछु, जो तँभन्दा अघिका कुनै राजाले पाएका थिएनन्, र तँभन्दा पछिका कुनैले पनि पाउनेछैनन् ।”
wisdom and knowledge is given to you. I will give you wealth, possessions, and honor as well, much more than any king who came before you has had, or who comes after you will ever have.”
13 तब सोलोमन गिबोनको अल्गो स्थानको भेट हुने पालबाट यरूशलेममा आए। तिनले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरे ।
Then Solomon returned to Jerusalem from the Tent of Meeting in Gibeon, and he ruled over Israel.
14 सोलोमनले रथहरू र घोडचढीहरू जम्मा गरे, र तिनीसँग चौध सय रथ र बाह्र हजार घोडचढीहरू थिए, जसलाई तिनले रथ राख्ने सहरहरूमा र आफू, अर्थात् यरूशलेममा राजसित राखे ।
Solomon built up an army of chariots and horses. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he placed in the chariot cities, and also with him in Jerusalem.
15 राजाले सुन र चाँदी यरूशलेममा ढुङ्गैसरह बनाए र देवदारुचाहिं तराईमा हुने अन्जीरहरूजस्तै प्रशस्त तुल्याए ।
The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs trees in the foothills.
16 सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्रदेश र क्यूएबाट पैठारी हुन्थे। तिनका व्यापारीहरूले ती क्यूएबाट किनेर ल्याउँथे ।
Solomon imported horses for himself from Egypt and Kue; the king's traders bought them in Kue.
17 तिनीहरूले प्रत्येक रथ सात सय शेकेल चाँदीमा र घोडाचाहिं १५० शेकेल चाँदीमा मिश्रदेशबाट पैठारी गर्थे । तिनीहरूले हित्ती र अरामीहरूका राजाहरूलाई ती निकासी पनि गर्थे ।
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred silver shekels, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. In the same way they exported them to all the Hittite kings and the Aramean kings.
