< 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 ।
When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
2 परमप्रभुको महिमाले उहाँको मन्‍दिर भरिएको हुनाले पुजारीहरू मन्‍दिरभित्र पस्‍न सकेनन्‌ ।
The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.
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 ।”
When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”
4 यसरी राजा र सबै मानिसले परमप्रभुलाई बलिदानहरू चढाए ।
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
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 22,000 oxen and 120,000 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 ।
The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
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 ।
Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings.
8 यसरी सोलोमन र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएली, लेबो-हमातदेखि मिश्रदेशको खोलासम्‍मको एउटा ठूलो समुदायले त्‍यस बेला सात दिनसम्‍म चाड मनाए ।
So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.
9 आठौं दिनमा तिनीहरूले धार्मिक सभा राखे, किनकि तिनीहरूले वेदीका समर्पणको सेवा सात दिनसम्‍म र चाड सात दिनसम्‍म मानेका थिए ।
On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.
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 ।
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
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 ।
When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,
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 ।
the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as 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 close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague 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 ।
and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15 यस ठाउँमा गरिएका प्रार्थनातिर अब मेरा आँखा खुला हुनेछन् र मेरा कानले सुन्‍नेछन्‌ ।
Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered 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 I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
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 you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and 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 your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over 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 you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
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 I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the 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 when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
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 others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
