२ इतिहास 7

1 यति बेला जब सोलोमनले प्रार्थना गरेर सकेका थिए, तब स्‍वर्गबाट आगो तल झर्‍यो, र होमबलि र बलिदानहरू भस्‍म गर्‍यो, अनि परमप्रभुको महिमाले मन्‍दिर भरियो ।

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

2 परमप्रभुको महिमाले उहाँको मन्‍दिर भरिएको हुनाले पुजारीहरू मन्‍दिरभित्र पस्‍न सकेनन्‌ ।

And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah filled Jehovah’s house.

3 आगो तल झरेको र परमप्रभुको महिमा मन्‍दिरमा भएको जब सबै इस्राएलीले देखे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना अनुहारहरू ढुङ्गाको छपनीमा घोप्‍टो पारे र आराधना गरे र परमप्रभुलाई धन्‍यवाद दिए । तिनीहरूले भने, “उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्‍छ, किनकि उहाँको करारको बफादारीता सदासर्वदा रहन्‍छ ।”

And all the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah was upon the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and gave thanks unto Jehovah, [saying], For he is good; for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

4 यसरी राजा र सबै मानिसले परमप्रभुलाई बलिदानहरू चढाए ।

Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Jehovah.

5 सोलोमन राजाले बाईस हजार साँढे र एक लाख बीस हजार भेडा-बाख्रा बलि चढाए । यसरी राजा र सबै मानिसले परमेश्‍वरको मन्‍दिरको समर्पण गरे ।

And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 पुजारीहरू प्रत्‍येक आफूले सेवा गर्ने ठाउँमा उभिएर खडा भएर । लेवीहरू पनि परमप्रभुको संगीतका बाजाहरू लिएर खडा भए, जसलाई दाऊद राजाले गीतद्वारा परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिनको निम्ति बनाएका थिए, “उहाँको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता सदासर्वदा रहन्‍छ ।” तिनीहरूका सामु सबै पुजारीले आआफ्ना तुरही बजाए, र सबै इस्राएली खडा भए ।

And the priests stood, according to their offices; the Levites also with instruments of music of Jehovah, which David the king had made to give thanks unto Jehovah (for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever), when David praised by their ministry: and the priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.

7 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुका मन्‍दिरको सामुन्‍नेको चोकको मध्‍य भागलाई अलग गरे । त्‍यहाँ तिनले होमबलिहरू र मेलबलिहरूका बोसोको भाग चढाए, किनभने तिनले बनाएको काँसाको वेदीमा होमबलि, अन्‍नबलि र बोसोका भागहरू अटाएनन्‌ ।

Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat.

8 यसरी सोलोमन र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएली, लेबो-हमातदेखि मिश्रदेशको खोलासम्‍मको एउटा ठूलो समुदायले त्‍यस बेला सात दिनसम्‍म चाड मनाए ।

So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt.

9 आठौं दिनमा तिनीहरूले धार्मिक सभा राखे, किनकि तिनीहरूले वेदीका समर्पणको सेवा सात दिनसम्‍म र चाड सात दिनसम्‍म मानेका थिए ।

And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

10 परमप्रभुले दाऊद र सोलोमन र आफ्‍ना मानिस इस्राएललाई दिनुभएका सबै सुदिनको कारणले खुशी र आनन्‍दित हृदयहरूका साथ सातौं महिनाको तेईसौं दिनमा सोलोमनले मानिसहरूलाई आआफ्‍ना घर पठाइदिए ।

And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Jehovah had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

11 यसरी सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिर र तिनको आफ्नै राजमहल बनाइसके । परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिर र तिनको आफ्‍नो राजमहल बनाउनको निम्ति तिनको हृदयमा आएका हरेक कुरा तिनले सफलतापूर्वक पूरा गरे ।

Thus Solomon finished the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

12 परमप्रभु राती सोलोमोनकहाँ देखा परेर तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयोः “मैले तेरो प्रार्थना सुनेको छु, र बलिदानको मन्‍दिरको रूपमा यो स्‍थानलाई मैले आफ्‍नो बासस्थानको निम्‍ति चुनेको छु ।

And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

13 मैले आकाशलाई बन्‍द गरें र पानी परेन भने, वा देशलाई नष्‍ट गर्न भनी सलहहरूलाई मैले आज्ञा दिएँ भने, वा मेरो मानिसमाथि मैले विपत्ति पठाएँ भने,

If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

14 तब मेरो आफ्‍नै नाउँ दिइएको मेरा मानिसहरूले आफैलाई नम्र पार्छन्, प्रार्थना गर्छन्, मेरो मुहारको खोजी गर्छन् र आफ्‍ना दुष्‍ट चालहरूबाट फर्किन्‍छ्न् भने, म स्‍वर्गबाट सुन्‍नेछु, तिनीहरूका पाप क्षमा गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका देशलाई निको पार्नेछु ।

if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15 यस ठाउँमा गरिएका प्रार्थनातिर अब मेरा आँखा खुला हुनेछन् र मेरा कानले सुन्‍नेछन्‌ ।

Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place.

16 किनकि अब मैले यस मन्‍दिरलाई चुनेको छु र त्‍यसलाई अलग गरेको छु ताकि त्‍यहाँ सदासर्वदा मेरो नाउँ रहोस् । मेरो दृष्‍टि र मेरो हृदय हरेक दिन त्‍यहाँ रहनेछ ।

For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

17 तेरो बारेमाचाहिं, मैले तँलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा पालन गरेर र मेरा विधिहरू र आदेशहरू पालन गरेर तेरा बुबा दाऊद मेरो दृष्‍टिमा हिंडेझैं हिंडिस्‌ भने,

And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;

18 तब तेरो राज्‍यको सिंहासन म स्थापित गर्नेछु, जसरी मैले तेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई यसो भनेर करारद्वारा प्रतिज्ञा गरेको थिएँ, ‘इस्राएलमाथि राज्‍य गर्न तेरा सन्तानहरूको अभाव हुनेछैन’ ।’

then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

19 तर मैले तँलाई दिएका मेरा विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू पालन गरिनस् र ती त्‍यागिस् र तँ गएर अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गरिस् र तिनीहरूका सामु दण्‍डवत् गरिस् भने,

But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

20 तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिएको मेरो देशबाट म तिनीहरूलाई जरैसमेत उखेलिदिनेछु । मेरो नाउँ रहनलाई मैले अलग गरेको यस मन्‍दिरलाई म त्‍याग्‍नेछु, र सबै मानिसका बिचमा म त्‍यसलाई एउटा उखान र गिल्‍लाको पात्र बनाउनेछु ।

then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

21 अहिले यो मन्‍दिर ज्‍यादै गौरवशाली भए तापनि, यसलाई देखेर आउनेजाने हरेक मानिस अवाक्‌ भएर सुस्‍केरा निकाल्‍नेछ । तिनीहरूले सोध्‍नेछन्, ‘परमप्रभुले किन यस देश र यस मन्‍दिरसित यस्‍तो गर्नुभयो?’

And this house, which is so high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall say, Why hath Jehovah done thus unto this land, and to this house?

22 अरूले यस्‍तो जवाफ दिनेछन्, ‘किनभने तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरलाई त्‍यागे जसले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्‍याउनुभयो । अनि तिनीहरूले अरू देवताहरू स्‍थापना गरे र तिनीहरूको सामु दण्‍डवत गरे र तिनीहरूको पुजा गरे । यसैकारण परमप्रभुले यी सबै विपत्ति तिनीहरूमाथि ल्‍याउनुभयो ।’”

And they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
