< 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 strengthened himself in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and caused him to become exceedingly great.
2 सबै इस्राएलसित, हजार कमाण्‍डर र सयका कमाण्‍डरहरू, र न्‍यायकर्ताहरू, र सारा इस्राएलमा भएका हरेक शासक, घरानाहरूका मुखियाहरूसित सोलोमनले कुरा गरे ।
Then said Solomon unto all Israel, to the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the chiefs of the family divisions [that they should go with him].
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 ।
Thereupon went Solomon, and all the assembly with him, to the high-place that was at Gib'on; 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 ।
Nevertheless the ark of God had David brought up from Kiryath-ye'arim 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 ।
But the copper altar, which Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, had made, he placed before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the assembly sought for it.
6 सोलोमन भेट हुने पालमा परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने भएको काँसाको वेदीमा गए र त्‍यसमा एक हजार होमबलि चढाए ।
And Solomon sacrificed there on the copper altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
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 shown unto David my father great kindness, and hast made me king 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 word unto David my father be verified; for thou hast made me king over a people as numerous 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?”
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who could [otherwise] judge this thy great people?
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 unto Solomon, Whereas this hath been in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thy enemies, and hast not even asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and knowledge, 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 ।”
[Therefore] are the wisdom and the knowledge granted unto thee; and riches, and wealth, and honor, will I give thee, such as no kings that have been before thee have had, and the like of which after thee none shall have.
13 तब सोलोमन गिबोनको अल्‍गो स्‍थानको भेट हुने पालबाट यरूशलेममा आए। तिनले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरे ।
Then came Solomon from the high-place that was at Gib'on 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 brought together chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them 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 rendered the silver and gold at Jerusalem like stones, and cedar-trees he rendered as the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands for abundance.
16 सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्रदेश र क्‍यूएबाट पैठारी हुन्‍थे। तिनका व्‍यापारीहरूले ती क्‍यूएबाट किनेर ल्‍याउँथे ।
And Solomon had his horses brought out of Egypt; a company of the king's merchants bought a quantity 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 brought up, and fetched out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
