२ इतिहास 2
1 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका नाउँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर र आफ्नो राज्यको निम्ति एउटा राजमहल निर्माण गर्ने आदेश दिए ।
And Solomon resolved to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.
2 सोलोमनले भारी बोक्नलाई सत्तरी हजार, र पहाडहरूमा ढुङ्गा काट्नलाई असी हजार र तिनीहरूको निरीक्षण गर्न छत्तिस सय मानिसलाई जिम्मा दिए ।
And he numbered seventy thousand men to carry upon shoulders, and eighty thousand who were hewing stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred as their overseers.
3 सोलोमनले टुरोसका राजा हीरामलाई यसो भनेर समाचार पठाए, “तपाईंले जसरी मेरा बुबा दाऊदको निम्ति आवासीय भवन बनाउनलाई देवदारुका काठहरू पठाउनुभएको थियो, मेरो निम्ति पनि त्यसै गर्नुहोस् ।
Also, he sent to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying: “Just as you did for my father David, when you sent him cedar wood, so that he might build a house for himself, in which he then lived,
4 हेर्नुहोस्, मैले परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरका नाउँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न, त्यसलाई उहाँको निम्ति अलग गर्न, उहाँको सामु सुगन्धित मसलाका धूप बाल्न, उपस्थितिको रोटी राख्न, अनि बिहान-बेलुकी, शबाथहरूमा, औंसीहरूमा र परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरका तोकिएका चाडहरूमा होमबलि चढाउन लागेको छु । यो इस्राएलको निम्ति सदासर्वदाको लागि हो ।
do so also for me, so that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, so that I may consecrate it for the burning of incense before him, and for the smoke of aromatics, and for the perpetual bread of the presence, and for the holocausts, in morning and in evening, as well as on the Sabbaths and new moons and solemnities of the Lord our God forever, which have been commanded to Israel.
5 मैले निर्माण गर्न लागेको मन्दिर अत्यन्तै ठूलो भवन हुनेछ, किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्वर अरू सबै देवताभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ ।
For the house that I desire to build is great. For our God is great, above all gods.
6 तर सारा विश्व र स्वर्ग नै पनि परमेश्वरको निम्ति सानो हुन्छ भने, कसले उहाँको निम्ति मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न सक्छ? उहाँको सामु बलिदान चढाउनुबाहेक उहाँको निम्ति मन्दिर निर्माण गर्ने म को हुँ र?
So then, who will be able prevail, so that he may build a worthy house for him? If heaven and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him, what am I that I would be able to build a house to him? But let it be for this only, so that incense may be burned before him.
7 यसकारण मेरो निम्ति सुन, चाँदी, काँसा र फलाम, अनि बैजनी, रातो र नीलो ऊनी धागोको काम गर्न सक्ने एक जना निपुण कारीगर पठाइदिनुहोस्। तिनी काठ कुँदेर सबै कुरा बनाउन जान्ने मानिस पनि होऊन् । तिनले मेरा बुबा दाऊदले जुटाउनुभएका यहूदा र यरूशलेममा भएका निपुण कारीगरहरूसँग काम गर्नेछन् ।
Therefore, send to me a learned man, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, with purple, scarlet, and hyacinth, and who knows how to carve engravings, along with these artisans that I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom my father David has prepared.
8 मलाई लेबनानबाट देवदारु, सल्ला र चन्दनका काठहरू पनि पठाइदिनुहोस्, किनकि मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंका सेवकहरूले लेबनानमा काठहरू कसरी काट्नुपर्छ भनी जान्दछन् । हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा सेवकहरू तपाईंका सेवकहरूसित हुनेछन्,
Then too, send to me cedar wood, and juniper, and pine from Lebanon. For I know that your servants know how to cut timber from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants,
9 ताकि मेरो निम्ति प्रशस्त काठहरू तयार गर्न सकून्, किनकि मैले बनाउन लागिरहेको मन्दिर महान् र आश्चर्यको हुनेछ।
so that very much wood may be prepared for me. For the house that I desire to build is exceedingly great and glorious.
10 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका सेवकहरू, मुढा काट्ने मानिसहरूलाई म पचास हजार मुरी गहूँ, पचास हजार मुरी जौ, एक लाख पाथी दाखमद्य र एक लाख पाथी तेल दिनेछु ।”
In addition, I will give to your servants, the workers who will cut down the trees, for provisions: twenty thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, as well as twenty thousand good measures of oil.”
11 टुरोसका राजा हीरामले पत्रद्वारा सोलोमनलाई लेखेर जावाफ दिए: “परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएको हुनाले उहाँले तपाईंलाई तिनीहरूमाथि राजा तुल्याउनुभयो ।”
Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, said, by a letter that had been sent to Solomon: “Because the Lord loved his people, for this reason he appointed you to reign over them.”
12 साथै पत्रमा हीरामले भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर धन्यका होउन्, जसले स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीको सृष्टि गर्नुभयो, जसले दाऊद राजालाई बुद्धि र समझशक्तिको वरदान भएको एउटा बुद्धिमान् छोरा दिनुभएको छ, जसले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर र आफ्नै निम्ति एउटा राजमहल बनाउनुहुनेछ ।
And he added, saying: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who gave to king David a son who is wise, and learned, and intelligent as well as prudent, so that he may build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.
13 अब मैले एक जना सिपालु मानिस हुराम-अब्बीलाई पठाएको छु, जससँग सुझबुझको वरदान छ ।
Therefore, I have sent my father Hiram to you; he is a prudent and very knowledgeable man,
14 तिनी दानका छोरीमध्येकी एक जना स्त्रीका छोरा हुन् । तिनका बुबा टुरोसका मानिस हुन् । तिनी सुन र चाँदी, काँसा, फलाम, ढुङ्गा र काठका काम अनि बैजनी, रातो र नीलो ऊनी धागो र मलमलका कपडाका काममा पनि अनुभवी कारीगर हुन् । तिनी कुनै पनि किसिमका बुट्टा कुँद्ने र कुनै पनि किसिमको नमूनाको काममा सिपालु छन् । तिनी तपाईंका निपुण कारीगरहरूका साथमा, र मेरा स्वामी तपाईंका बुबा दाऊदका कारीगरहरूका साथमा काम गर्ने ठाउँको व्यवस्था गरिदिनुहोस् ।
the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, and with marble and timber, as well as with purple, and hyacinth, and fine linen, and scarlet. And he knows how to carve every kind of engraving, and how to devise prudently whatever may be necessary to the work, with your artisans and with the artisans of my lord David, your father.
15 अब मेरा स्वामीले आफ्ना सेवकहरूका निम्ति आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको गहूँ, जौ, तेल र दाखमद्य पठाइदिनुहोस् ।
Therefore, send the wheat and barley and oil and wine, which you, my lord, have promised, to your own servants.
16 तपाईंलाई चाहिए जति काठ हामी लेबनानमा काट्नेछौं । मूढाहरू बाँधेर योप्पासम्म बगाएर पठाइदिनेछौं, र तपाईंले ती यरूशलेमसम्म लैजानुहुनेछ ।”
Then we will cut down as much wood from Lebanon as you will need, and we will convey them as rafts by sea to Joppa. Then it will be for you to transfer them to Jerusalem.”
17 आफ्ना बुबा दाऊदले मानिसहरूको जनगणना लिएझैं सोलोमनले इस्राएलमा बस्ने सबै विदेशीको जनगणना लिए । यिनीहरू १,५३,६०० जना थिए ।
And so Solomon numbered all the new converts who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering that David his father had done, and they were found to be one hundred fifty thousand and three thousand six hundred.
18 यिमध्येका सत्तरी हजारलाई भारी बोक्न र असी हजारलाई पहाडहरूमा ढुङ्गा काट्न र मानिसहरूलाई काममा लगाउन निरीक्षण गर्न छत्तिस सयलाई नियुक्त गरे ।
And he appointed seventy thousand of them, who would carry burdens on shoulders, and eighty thousand who would hew stones in the mountains, then three thousand and six hundred as overseers of the work of the people.
