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 ।
And when Solomon had made an end of praying, a 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 were not able to 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 all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord [was resting] upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
4 यसरी राजा र सबै मानिसले परमप्रभुलाई बलिदानहरू चढाए ।
And 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 a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people.
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 were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel 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 ।
And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain 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 ।
And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto 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 they held on the eighth day a solemn assembly; for the dedication of the altar they held 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 dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for 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 did Solomon complete the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and [in] all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prospered.
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 ।
Then appeared the Lord to Solomon during the night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have made choice of 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 shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I give a charge to the locusts to devour off the land, or if I send a 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 ।
And if my people, over whom my name is called, do then humble themselves, and pray, and seek my presence, and turn away from their evil ways: then will I also hear from heaven, and I 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 unto the prayer on 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 ।
And now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
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 hath walked, so as to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my 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 will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, just as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall never 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 will indeed turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and will go and serve other gods, and bow down to 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 out of my land which I have given unto them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast away from my sight, and I will render it to be for a proverb and for a by-word among all the people.
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 hath been so exalted, shall become an astonishment to every one that passeth by it: so that he will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto 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 men shall then say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath he brought upon them all this evil.
