< 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 the LORD filled the house.
2 परमप्रभुको महिमाले उहाँको मन्दिर भरिएको हुनाले पुजारीहरू मन्दिरभित्र पस्न सकेनन् ।
And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’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 when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD on the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
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 twenty and two thousand oxen, and an 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 waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endures 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 the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
8 यसरी सोलोमन र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएली, लेबो-हमातदेखि मिश्रदेशको खोलासम्मको एउटा ठूलो समुदायले त्यस बेला सात दिनसम्म चाड मनाए ।
Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath to the river of Egypt.
9 आठौं दिनमा तिनीहरूले धार्मिक सभा राखे, किनकि तिनीहरूले वेदीका समर्पणको सेवा सात दिनसम्म र चाड सात दिनसम्म मानेका थिए ।
And in the eighth day they made 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 into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had showed to 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 the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, 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 the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an 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 heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts 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, which 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 my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to 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 sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and my 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 you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and shall observe my statutes and my judgments;
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 will I establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you 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 you 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 sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
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 high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passes by it; so that he shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to 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 it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore has he brought all this evil on them.
