२ इतिहास 6
1 तब सोलोमनले भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको छ, उहाँ निष्पट्ट अँध्यारोमा वास गर्नुहुनेछ,
Then Solomon said, “Yahweh, you said that you would live in a dark cloud.
2 तर यहाँ मैले तपाईंको निम्ति सदासर्वदा वास गर्न एउटा उच्च वासस्थान बनाएको छु ।”
But now I have built a glorious temple for you to live in forever!”
3 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय खडा भइरहँदा, राजा तिनीहरूतिर फर्के र तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।
Then while all the people stood there, Solomon turned toward the people and he [asked God to] bless them.
4 तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई प्रशंसा होस्, जसले मेरा बुबा दाऊदसँग बोल्नुभयो र आफ्ना हातले यसो भन्दै प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नुभएको छ,
He said to them, “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, who has caused to happen what he promised to my father David. What he said to David was this:
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 time that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city in Israel in which a temple should be built for people to [worship] me there. Nor did I choose anyone to be the leader of my Israeli people.
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 chosen Jerusalem to be the place for people to worship me, and I have chosen you to rule my Israeli people.’”
7 अब परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर निर्माण गर्ने इच्छा मेरा बुबा दाऊदको हृदयमा थियो ।
[Then Solomon said], “My father David wanted to build a temple for Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
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 Yahweh said to him, ‘You have wanted to build a temple for me, and what you wanted to do was good.
9 तापनि तैंले त्यो मन्दिर निर्माण गर्नेछैनस् । बरु, तँबाट जन्मने तेरो छोराले नै मेरो नाउँको निम्ति त्यो मन्दिर बनाउनेछ ।’
However, you are not the one who I want to build the temple; it is one of your own sons who [I want to] build a temple for me.’
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 Yahweh has done what he promised to do. I have become the king of Israel to succeed my father, and I am ruling the people, like Yahweh promised, and I have arranged for this temple to be built for us to worship Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
11 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिससित गर्नुभएको उहाँको आफ्नो करारको सन्दूक मैले त्यहाँ राखेको छु ।”
I have put the Sacred Chest in the temple, in which are the stone tablets [on which are engraved the Ten Commandments of] the agreement that Yahweh made with us Israeli people.”
12 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका वेदीको सामु इस्राएलका जम्मै समुदायको उपस्थितिमा खडा भए र आफ्ना हात फैलाए ।
Then Solomon stood in front of the altar which was in front of the people of Israel who had gathered there.
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 ।
His workers had built a bronze platform there [for him to stand on], which was 7-1/2 feet long and 7-1/2 feet wide and 4-1/2 feet high. They put it in the outer courtyard. Solomon stood on that platform and then knelt down in front of all the people of Israel who had gathered there, and he spread out his arms toward 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 prayed, “Yahweh, the God to whom we Israeli people belong, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth. You solemnly promised that you would faithfully love us, and that is what you have done for us who earnestly do what you want us to do.
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 ।
“You have done the things that you promised my father David, who served you [very well], that you would do. Truly, you promised to do those things for him, and today we see that by your power you have caused it all to happen.
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, Yahweh, the God we Israelis belong to, please do the things that you promised to my father David that you would do. You said that there would always be some of his descendants to rule Israel, if they faithfully conduct their lives as he did.
17 अब हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, तपाईंले आफ्नो सेवक दाऊदसित गर्नुभएको प्रतिज्ञा पूरा होस् ।
So now, God of us Israeli people, cause what you promised David, who served you [well], to happen.
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, my God, will you really live on earth among people? There is surely not enough space for you in the sky, or even in the heaven! So there is surely not enough space for you to live in this temple that my workers have built.
19 तापनि हे परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, आफ्नो सेवकको यो प्रार्थना र पुकारालाई कदर गर्नुहोस् । तपाईंका सेवकले तपाईंको सामु गर्ने रोदन र प्रार्थना सुन्नुहोस् ।
But Yahweh, my God, please listen to my prayer, while I am pleading with you this day and do what I am requesting.
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 ।
Please protect this temple day and night. This is the place about which you have said, ‘I will always be there.’ Please listen to my prayer about 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 ।
Listen to me when I pray, and listen to your Israeli people when they pray. Listen from heaven, where you live; and when you hear us pray, forgive us.
22 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीको विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ र शपथ खान पर्यो भने, र त्यो शपथ यस मन्दिरभित्र तपाईंका वेदीको सामुन्ने खान्छ भने,
“If someone is accused of doing something wrong to another person, and they bring him to testify in front of your altar outside this holy temple, and if he says, ‘I did not do that; may God punish me if I am not telling the truth,’
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 you listen from heaven, and you decide who is telling the truth. Then punish the person who is guilty as he deserves to be punished, and declare that the other person is innocent.
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 when your Israeli people are defeated by their enemies because they sinned against you, [and forced to go to some distant country, ] if they turn away from their sinful behavior and turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and plead [that you will forgive them],
25 तब तपाईंले स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्नुहोस्, र आफ्ना मानिस इस्राएलको पाप क्षमा गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई तपाईंले दिनुभएको देशमा तिनीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनुहोस् ।
listen to them from heaven and forgive your Israeli people for the sins that they [have committed], and bring them back to this land that you gave to our ancestors.
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 you do not allow any rain to fall because your people have sinned against you, if they turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and turn away from their sinful behavior and humbly pray to you,
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 ।
hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your Israeli people. Teach them the right way to conduct their lives. Then cause it to rain here on the land that you gave to your people to belong to them [permanently].
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—
“And when the people of this land experience famines or if there is a plague, or when their crops are destroyed by very hot winds or by mildew or by locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies surround any of their cities [in order to attack them], if any of those bad things happen to them,
29 अनि कुनै एक जना व्यक्ति वा सारा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले विपत्ति वा दुःखलाई आफ्नो हृदयमा जानेर यस मन्दिरतिर आफ्ना हात फैलाउँछन् ।
when your Israeli people earnestly plead with you, knowing in their inner beings that they are suffering [because they have sinned], if they stretch out their hands toward this temple and pray,
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 ।
hear from your home in heaven, and forgive them. You alone know what each person is thinking, so reward each person according to everything that he does,
31 यसो गर्नुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको डर मानून् जसले गर्दा तपाईंले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको देशमा तिनीहरू सारा समयभरि तपाईंका मार्गमा हिंड्न सकून् ।
in order that they will revere you and conduct their lives as you want them to, all the time that they live in this land that you gave to our ancestors.
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,
“There will be some foreigners who do not belong to your Israeli people who have come here from countries far away because they have heard that you are very great and that you perform great miracles. If they turn toward this temple and pray,
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 ।
from your home in heaven listen to their prayer, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that in order that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we, your own Israeli people do. And then they will know that this is the temple that I have caused to be built for you.
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 ।
“When you send your people to go to places to attack their enemies, if they pray to you, wherever they are, if they turn toward this city that you have chosen and toward this temple that I have caused to be built to honor you,
35 तब तपाईंले तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना र बिन्ती स्वर्गबाट सुन्नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई मदत गरिदिनुहोस् ।
listen in heaven to their prayers; listen to what they plead for you [to do], and assist 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 ।
[“It is true that] everyone sins. So, when your people sin against you, and you become angry with them, you may allow their enemies to capture them and take them to their countries, even to countries that are far away.
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 ।’
When that happens, while they are in the countries to which they were forced to go, if they are sorry for having sinned, if they say, ‘We have sinned; we have done things that are wrong and have done things that are very wicked,’
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 they repent very sincerely, and if they turn toward this land that you gave to our ancestors, and toward this city that you have chosen [to be the place where we should worship you], and toward this temple that I have caused to be built for you and pray,
39 तब तपाईं बस्नुहुने स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना र तिनीहरूका बिन्ती सुन्नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूलाई मदत गरिदिनुहोस् । तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका तपाईंका मानिसलाई क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् ।
then from your home in heaven hear their prayer, and listen to them while they plead [for your help], and do what they ask you to do, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 अब हे मेरा परमेश्वर, यस ठाउँमा चढाइएका प्रार्थनाहरूमा आफ्ना आँखा खोल्नुहोस्, र आफ्ना कान थाप्नुहोस् ।
“Now, my God, look at us and listen to us as we pray to you 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 ।
Yahweh our God, come and stay in this place with the Sacred Chest, the chest that shows that you are powerful. Yahweh God, cause your priests to know clearly that you have blessed them. Cause us your people to rejoice because of all the good things [that you do for us].
42 हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, आफ्ना अभिषिक्त जनको मुहार तपाईंबाट नतर्काउनुहोस् । आफ्ना सेवक दाऊदसँग तपाईंले गर्नुभएको करार बफादारीतालाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
Yahweh God, do not reject me [the king] whom you have appointed [to be the king of Israel]; do not forget that you greatly loved David, who served you [very well].”
