< २ इतिहास 2 >

1 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका नाउँको निम्‍ति एउटा मन्‍दिर र आफ्नो राज्यको निम्ति एउटा राजमहल निर्माण गर्ने आदेश दिए ।
And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
2 सोलोमनले भारी बोक्‍नलाई सत्तरी हजार, र पहाडहरूमा ढुङ्गा काट्नलाई असी हजार र तिनीहरूको निरीक्षण गर्न छत्तिस सय मानिसलाई जिम्मा दिए ।
And Solomon told out three score and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
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 ।
And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As you did deal with David my father, and did send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.
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 ।
Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
5 मैले निर्माण गर्न लागेको मन्‍दिर अत्‍यन्‍तै ठूलो भवन हुनेछ, किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर अरू सबै देवताभन्‍दा महान्‌ हुनुहुन्‍छ ।
And the house which I build is great: for great is our God 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?
But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice 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 ।
Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
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,
Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that your servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with your servants,
9 ताकि मेरो निम्‍ति प्रशस्त काठहरू तयार गर्न सकून्, किनकि मैले बनाउन लागिरहेको मन्‍दिर महान् र आश्‍चर्यको हुनेछ।
Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
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 ।”
And, behold, I will give to your servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
11 टुरोसका राजा हीरामले पत्रद्वारा सोलोमनलाई लेखेर जावाफ दिए: “परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएको हुनाले उहाँले तपाईंलाई तिनीहरूमाथि राजा तुल्‍याउनुभयो ।”
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD has loved his people, he has made you king 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 ।
Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
13 अब मैले एक जना सिपालु मानिस हुराम-अब्‍बीलाई पठाएको छु, जससँग सुझबुझको वरदान छ ।
And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,
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 of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of engraving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with your cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David your father.
15 अब मेरा स्‍वामीले आफ्‍ना सेवकहरूका निम्‍ति आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको गहूँ, जौ, तेल र दाखमद्य पठाइदिनुहोस्‌ ।
Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
16 तपाईंलाई चाहिए जति काठ हामी लेबनानमा काट्नेछौं । मूढाहरू बाँधेर योप्‍पासम्‍म बगाएर पठाइदिनेछौं, र तपाईंले ती यरूशलेमसम्‍म लैजानुहुनेछ ।”
And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need: and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem.
17 आफ्‍ना बुबा दाऊदले मानिसहरूको जनगणना लिएझैं सोलोमनले इस्राएलमा बस्‍ने सबै विदेशीको जनगणना लिए । यिनीहरू १,५३,६०० जना थिए ।
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and 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 set three score and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
