< २ इतिहास 1 >

1 दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमन आफ्‍नो शासनमा बलियो भएपछि र परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्‍वर तिनको साथमा हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र तिनलाई धेरै शक्तिशाली बनाउनुभयो ।
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God [was] with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 सबै इस्राएलसित, हजार कमाण्‍डर र सयका कमाण्‍डरहरू, र न्‍यायकर्ताहरू, र सारा इस्राएलमा भएका हरेक शासक, घरानाहरूका मुखियाहरूसित सोलोमनले कुरा गरे ।
Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
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 ।
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that [was] at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD 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 ।
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to [the place which] David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 साथै हूरका नाति, ऊरीका छोरा बजलेलले बनाएको काँसाको वेदी गिबोनमा नै परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्‍थानको सामुन्‍ने थियो । सोलोमन र त्‍यो सभा त्‍याहाँ गए ।
Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6 सोलोमन भेट हुने पालमा परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने भएको काँसाको वेदीमा गए र त्‍यसमा एक हजार होमबलि चढाए ।
And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which [was] at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 त्‍यस रात परमेश्‍वर सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “माग्, म तँलाई के दिऊँ?”
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 सोलोमनले परमेश्‍वरलाई भने, “तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई महान्‌ करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता देखाउनुभएको छ र मलाई उहाँको सट्टामा राजा तुल्‍याउनुभएको छ ।
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
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 ।
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
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?”
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, [that is so] great?
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 ।
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
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] granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that [have been] before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13 तब सोलोमन गिबोनको अल्‍गो स्‍थानको भेट हुने पालबाट यरूशलेममा आए। तिनले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरे ।
Then Solomon came [from his journey] to the high place that [was] at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned 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 ।
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 राजाले सुन र चाँदी यरूशलेममा ढुङ्गैसरह बनाए र देवदारुचाहिं तराईमा हुने अन्‍जीरहरूजस्तै प्रशस्‍त तुल्‍याए ।
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem [as plenteous] as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that [are] in the vale for abundance.
16 सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्रदेश र क्‍यूएबाट पैठारी हुन्‍थे। तिनका व्‍यापारीहरूले ती क्‍यूएबाट किनेर ल्‍याउँथे ।
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
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 ।
And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out [horses] for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
