२ इतिहास 8
1 सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र आफ्नो राजमहल निर्माण गरेका बिस वर्षको समयको अन्तमा यस्तो भयो,
Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
2 हीरामले सोलोमनलाई दिएका सहरहरूका तिनले पुनर्निर्माण गरे र तिनमा इस्राएलका मानिहरूलाई तिनले बसाले ।
Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
3 सोलोमनले हमातसोबालाई आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई हराए ।
Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
4 तिनले उजाड-स्थानमा तदमोरको पुनर्निर्माण गरे र सबै भण्डारणका सहर जसलाई तिनले हमातमा बनाए ।
His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
5 तिनले माथिल्लो बेथ होरोन र तल्लो बेथ होरोनलाई पर्खालहरू, ढोकाहरू र बारहरू लगाएर किल्लाबन्दी गरे ।
They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
6 तिनले बालात आफूसँग भएका भण्डारणका सबै सहर र आफ्ना रथहरू सबै सहर र घोडाचडीहरूका निम्ति सहरहरू र यरूशलेममा, लेबनानमा र आफ्ना सारा राज्यमा सारा देशभरि आफूले जे इच्छा गरे त्यो तिनले बनाए ।
They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
7 हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूका सबै बाँकी रहेकाहरू, जो इस्राएलका थिएनन्,
Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
8 तिनीहरूपछि देशमा छोडिएका तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू, जसलाई इस्राएलीहरूले नाश गरेका थिएनन्—सोलोमनले तिनीहरूलाई ज्यालाबिनाका श्रमिक बनाए, जसमा तिनीहरू आजको दिनसम्मै रहेका छन् ।
They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
9 तापनि सोलोमनले इस्राएलका मानिसलाई ज्यालाबिनाका श्रमिक बनाएनन् । बरु, तिनीहरू तिनका सिपाहीहरू, कमाण्डरहरू, अधिकारीहरू, अनि सारथि र घोडचडीका कमाण्डरहरू भए ।
But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
10 सोलोमनका निरीक्षकहरूका मुख्य अधिकारीहरू यिनैमध्येबाट भए जो २५० जना थिए, जसले काम गर्नेहरूको निरीक्षण गरे ।
They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
11 सोलोमनले फारोकी छोरीलाई दाऊदको सहरबाट तिनको निम्ति बनाएको महलमा ल्याए, किनकि तिनले भने, “मेरी पत्नी इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदको महलमा बस्नेछैनन्, किनभने परमप्रभुको सन्दूक ल्याइएका ठाउँहरू पवित्र छन् ।”
Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
12 तब सोलोमनले दलानको अगाडिपट्टि आफूले बनाएको वेदीमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति होमबलिहरू चढाए ।
On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
13 दिन-दिनको सूचीअनुसार तिनले बलिदानहरू चढाए । मोशाको आज्ञामा भएका निर्देशनबमोजिम तिनले शबाथ दिन, औंसी र वर्षेनी तिन पल्ट चढाउने चाडहरूः अखमिरी रोटीको चाड, साताहरूको चाड र छाप्रो-वासको चाडमा तोकिएबमिजिम तिनले चढाए ।
He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
14 आफ्ना पिता दाऊदको विधिहरू पालन गर्ने कुरामा सोलोमनले प्रतिदिनको लागि आवश्यक परेअनुसार पुजारीका दलहरूलाई आआफ्ना काममा र लेवीहरूलाई चाहिं परमेश्वरको स्तुति गर्ने र पुजारीहरूका अगि सेवा गर्ने तिनीहरूका दर्जामा नियुक्त गरे । हरेक ढोकामा तिनले ढोकाका रक्षकहरू आफ्ना दलअनुसार रहनलाई नियुक्त गरे, किनकि परमेश्वरका मानिस दाऊदले यसरी नै आज्ञा दिएका थिए ।
Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
15 पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई कुनै पनि विषयमा वा अनि भण्डारण कोठाहरूका विषयमा राजाले दिएका आज्ञाबाट यी मानिसहरू तर्किएनन् ।
The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
16 परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको जग बसालेदेखि त्यो पूरा नभएसम्म सोलोमनले आज्ञा गरेका सबै काम सम्पन्न भएको थियो । परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बनाउने काम सकियो ।
They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
17 त्यसपछि सोलोमन एदोम देशको किनारमा भएको एस्योन-गेबेर र एलातमा गए ।
Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
18 अनि हीरामले समुद्रको बारेमा जानकारी भएका मानिसहरूसहितका आफ्ना अधिकारीहरूका कमाण्डमा रहेका रहेका पानी जहाजहरू पठाइदिए र सोलोमनका सेवकहरूका साथमा तिनीहरू ओपीरमा गए र तिनीहरूले त्यहाँबाट सोह्र टन सुन ल्याए र त्यो सोलोमन राजालाई दिए ।
King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
