२ इतिहास 6
1 तब सोलोमनले भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको छ, उहाँ निष्पट्ट अँध्यारोमा वास गर्नुहुनेछ,
Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men,
2 तर यहाँ मैले तपाईंको निम्ति सदासर्वदा वास गर्न एउटा उच्च वासस्थान बनाएको छु ।”
So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.
3 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय खडा भइरहँदा, राजा तिनीहरूतिर फर्के र तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।
Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.
4 तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई प्रशंसा होस्, जसले मेरा बुबा दाऊदसँग बोल्नुभयो र आफ्ना हातले यसो भन्दै प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नुभएको छ,
And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,
5 ‘मेरो मानिसलाई मिश्रदेशबाट मैले निकालेर ल्याएको दिनदेखि यता इस्राएलका सबै कुलको कुनै पनि सहरलाई मेरो नाउँ कायम राख्नलाई एउटा मन्दिर बनाउन भनी मैले छानिनँ । न त मेरो मानिस इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न मैले कुनै मानिसलाई अगुवा हुनलाई चुनें ।
From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;
6 तापनि मैले यरूशलेमलाई छानेको छु, ताकि त्यहाँ मेरो नाउँ त्यहा रहोस्, र दाऊदलाई नै मेरो मानिस इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्नलाई मैले चुनेको छु ।’
But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.
7 अब परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर निर्माण गर्ने इच्छा मेरा बुबा दाऊदको हृदयमा थियो ।
Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
8 तर परमप्रभुले मेरो बुबा दाऊदलाई भन्नुभयो, 'मेरो नाउँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर निर्माण गर्ने कुरा तेरो हृदयमा थियो, यो तेरो हृदयमा राखेर तैंले असलै गरिस् ।
But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:
9 तापनि तैंले त्यो मन्दिर निर्माण गर्नेछैनस् । बरु, तँबाट जन्मने तेरो छोराले नै मेरो नाउँको निम्ति त्यो मन्दिर बनाउनेछ ।’
But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.
10 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको कुरा पूरा गर्नुभएको छ, किनकि परमप्रभुले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम मेरो बुबा दाऊदको सट्टामा म खडा भएको छु, र इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा म बसेको छु । परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँको निम्ति मैले यो मन्दिर बनाएको छु ।
And the Lord has kept his word; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
11 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिससित गर्नुभएको उहाँको आफ्नो करारको सन्दूक मैले त्यहाँ राखेको छु ।”
And there I have put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.
12 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका वेदीको सामु इस्राएलका जम्मै समुदायको उपस्थितिमा खडा भए र आफ्ना हात फैलाए ।
Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,
13 किनकि तिनले पाँच हात लामो, पाँच हात चौडा र तीन हात अग्लो काँसाको एउटा मञ्च बनाएका थिए । तिनले त्यसलाई चोकको बीचमा राखेका थिए । तिनी त्यसमाथि खडा भए र इस्राएलका सारा समुदायको उपस्थितिमा घुँडा टेके, र तिनले आफ्ना हात स्वर्गतिर फैलाए ।
(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)
14 तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीमा तपाईंजस्तो कुनै पनि परमेश्वर छैन, जसले आफ्नो सारा हृदयले तपाईंको मार्गमा जाग्ने आफ्ना सेवकहरूसँग आफ्नो अटुट प्रेमको करार बाँध्नुहुन्छ ।
And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;
15 तपाईंले आफ्ना दास मेरा बुबा दाऊदसित गर्नुभएको आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नुभएको छ । हो, आफ्नै मुखले तपाईंले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको हो र आफ्नै हातले त्यो पूरा गर्नुभएको हो, जस्तो आज हुन आएको छ ।
For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.
16 अब हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, आफ्ना दास मेरा बुबा दाऊदसित गर्नुभएको यो प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नुहोस्, जब तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, ‘तँ मेरो सामु हिंडेझैं तेरा सन्तानहरू मेरो व्यवस्था पालन गर्ने कुरामा होसियार भए भने, इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा बस्नलाई कहिलै पनि तेरो निम्ति मानिसको अभाव हुनेछैन ।’
So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.
17 अब हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, तपाईंले आफ्नो सेवक दाऊदसित गर्नुभएको प्रतिज्ञा पूरा होस् ।
So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said to your servant David.
18 तर के परमेश्वर साँच्चै नै मानिससित पृथ्वीमा बस्नुहुन्छ र? हेर्नुहोस्, सारा संसार र स्वर्गमा पनि तपाईं अटाउनुहुन्न भने—मैले निर्माण गरेको यो मन्दिरमा त झन् कति साँगुरो हुन्छ होला?
But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:
19 तापनि हे परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, आफ्नो सेवकको यो प्रार्थना र पुकारालाई कदर गर्नुहोस् । तपाईंका सेवकले तपाईंको सामु गर्ने रोदन र प्रार्थना सुन्नुहोस् ।
Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant and to his prayer for grace, O Lord my God, and give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant makes before you;
20 यस मन्दिर, अर्थात्, तपाईंले आफ्नो नाम राख्ने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको यस ठाउँमा तपाईंका आँखा दिनरात खुला रहोस् । तपाईंको सेवकले यस ठाउँतिर फर्केर गरेको प्रार्थना तपाईंले सुन्नुहोस् ।
That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.
21 यसैले आफ्ना सेवक र तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलले यो ठाउँतिर फर्केर प्रार्थना गर्दा ती बिन्तीहरू सुन्नुहोस् । हो, त्यो ठाउँबाट, तपाईं बस्नुहुने स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस् । अनि तपाईंले सुन्नुहुँदा क्षमा गर्नुहोस् ।
And give ear to the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear from heaven your living-place; and hearing have mercy.
22 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीको विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ र शपथ खान पर्यो भने, र त्यो शपथ यस मन्दिरभित्र तपाईंका वेदीको सामुन्ने खान्छ भने,
If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:
23 स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस् र काम गर्नुहोस् । दोषी मानिसलाई दोषी ठहर्याएर र त्यसले गरेको कामको प्रतिफल त्यसलाई नै दिएर आफ्ना सेवकहरूका बीचमा न्याय गर्नुहोस् । निर्दोषलाई दोषी नठहराउनुहोस् र त्यसको धार्मिकताबमोजिम त्यसलाई प्रतिफल दिनुहोस् ।
Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving punishment to the wrongdoer, so that his sin may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.
24 जब तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका कारणले तिनीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूद्वारा पराजित हुन्छन्, अनि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको नाउँ लिंदै यस मन्दिरमा तपाईंलाई प्रार्थना र नम्र-निवेदन गर्दै तपाईंतिर फर्कन्छन् भने—
And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:
25 तब तपाईंले स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्नुहोस्, र आफ्ना मानिस इस्राएलको पाप क्षमा गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई तपाईंले दिनुभएको देशमा तिनीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनुहोस् ।
Then give ear from heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
26 जब तपाईंका मानिसले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको कारणले आकाश बन्द भएर पानी परेको छैन— अनि तिनीहरूले यस ठाउँतर्फ फर्केर तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दु: ख दिनुभएको कारणले तपाईंको नाउँ स्वीकार गर्छन् र आफ्ना पाप त्यागेर यस मन्दिरमा तपाईंको अगाडि प्रार्थना गर्छन् भने—
When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:
27 तब तपाईंले तिनीहरू हिंड्नुपर्ने असल मार्गमा तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुहुँदा, स्वर्गमा सुन्नुहोस्, र आफ्ना सेवकहरू र आफ्ना मानिस इस्राएलको पाप क्षमा गर्नुहोस् । तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई तपईंले उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा दिनुभएको देशमा झरी पठाउनुहोस् ।
Then give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.
28 देशमा अनिकाल परेको छ वा माहामारी फैलेको छ, वा लाही वा ढुसी लाग्छ, कि सलह र फटेङ्ग्राहरू आउँछन् भने, वा शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूका सहरको मुल ढोकाहरूमा आक्रमण गर्छन् वा कनै पनि किसिमको विपति वा रोग फैलेको छ भने—
If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:
29 अनि कुनै एक जना व्यक्ति वा सारा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले विपत्ति वा दुःखलाई आफ्नो हृदयमा जानेर यस मन्दिरतिर आफ्ना हात फैलाउँछन् ।
Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:
30 तब तपाईं बस्नुहुने स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस् । क्षमा गर्नुहोस् र हरेक व्यक्तिलाई उसका सबै चाल अनुसार प्रतिफल दिनुहोस् । तपाईंलाई त्यसको हृदय थाहा हुन्छ, किनभने तपाईंले मात्र मानिसजातिका हृदयहरू जान्नुहुन्छ ।
Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men; )
31 यसो गर्नुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको डर मानून् जसले गर्दा तपाईंले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको देशमा तिनीहरू सारा समयभरि तपाईंका मार्गमा हिंड्न सकून् ।
So that they may give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which you gave to our fathers.
32 विदेशीहरू जो तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलका तर तपाईंको महान् नाउँ, तपाईंको शक्तिशाली बाहुली र तपाईंको फैलेको हातका कारणले—आउँछ र यस मन्दिरतिर फर्केर त्यसले प्रार्थना गर्छ भने,
And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:
33 तब कृपया तपाईं बस्नुहुने स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस् र त्यो विदेशीले मागेका सबै कुरा गरिदिनुहोस्, ताकि तपाईंको मानिस इस्राएलले गरेझैं पृथ्वीका सबै मानिसले तपाईंको नाउँलाई जानून् र तपाईंको भय मानून्, र मैले बनाएको यस मन्दिर तपाईंकै नाउँले बोलाइन्छ भनी तिनीहरूले जानून् ।
Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.
34 जब तपाईंले पठाउनुभएको ठाउँमा तपाईंका मानिसहरू आफ्ना कुनै शत्रुहरूसँग लडाइँ गर्न जान्छन् र तपाईंले चुन्नुभएको यस सहर र मैले तपाईंका नाउँको निम्ति बनाएको यस मन्दिरतिर फर्केर तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गर्छन् ।
If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayers to you turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have put up for your name:
35 तब तपाईंले तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना र बिन्ती स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई मदत गरिदिनुहोस् ।
Then give ear from heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.
36 जब तिनीहरूले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छन्— किनकि पाप नगर्ने एक जना पनि छैन— र तिनीहरूसँग तपाईं रिसाउनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई कुनै शत्रुको हातमा सुम्पिनुहुन्छ, ताकि शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई लान्छन् र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो देशमा, टाढा वा नजिक कैद गरेर लान्छन् ।
If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin, ) and you are angry with them, and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away prisoners to a land far off or near;
37 तब तिनीहरू कैदमा परेको देशमा तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा महसुस गर्छन् र तिनीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गर्छन् र आफ्नो कैदको देशमा तपाईंको कृपाको खोजी गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले यसो भन्छन्, ‘हामीले भ्रष्ट किसिमले काम गर्यौं र पाप गर्यौं । हामीले दुष्ट किसिमले व्यवहार गर्यौं ।’
And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, turning again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;
38 जब तिनीहरूलाई उनीहरूले कैद गरेर लगेको देशमा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सारा हृदय र आफ्ना सारा प्राणले तपाईंतिर फर्किन्छन् र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई तपाईंले दिनुभएको देशतिर र तपाईंले चुन्नुभएको यो सहरतिर र तपाईंका नाउँको निम्ति मैले बनाएको यस मन्दिरतिर फर्केर तिनीहरूले तपाईंमा प्रार्थना गर्छन् ।
If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:
39 तब तपाईं बस्नुहुने स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना र तिनीहरूका बिन्ती सुन्नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई मदत गरिदिनुहोस् । तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका तपाईंका मानिसलाई क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् ।
Then give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong against you.
40 अब हे मेरा परमेश्वर, यस ठाउँमा चढाइएका प्रार्थनाहरूमा आफ्ना आँखा खोल्नुहोस्, र आफ्ना कान थाप्नुहोस् ।
Now, O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears awake to the prayers made in this place.
41 हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, अब आफ्नो विश्रामको ठाउँमा, तपाईं र तपाईंका शक्तिको सन्दूकमा उठ्नुहोस् । हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तपाईंका पुजारीहरू उद्धारको वस्त्रले पहिराइऊन्, र तपाईंका सन्तहरू तपाईंको भलाइमा आनन्दित होऊन् ।
Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.
42 हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, आफ्ना अभिषिक्त जनको मुहार तपाईंबाट नतर्काउनुहोस् । आफ्ना सेवक दाऊदसँग तपाईंले गर्नुभएको करार बफादारीतालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
O Lord God, let him whom you have taken for yourself never be given up by you: keep in mind your mercies to David your servant.
