२ इतिहास 9
1 जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनको ख्यातिको बारेमा सुनिन्, तब कठिन प्रश्नहरू लिएर तिनको जाँच गर्न तिनी यरूशलेममा आइन् । तिनी मसलाहरू, प्रशस्त सुन र धेरै बहुमूल्य रत्नहरूलाई ऊँटहरूमा लदाएर एक अत्यन्तै ठूलो लावालश्करसाथ आइन् । जब तिनी सोलोमनकहाँ आइन्, तब तिनले आफ्नो मनमा भएका सबै कुरा उनलाई भनिन् ।
And the queen of Saba heard [of] the name of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem with a very large force, to prove Solomon with hard questions, and [she had] camels bearing spices in abundance, and gold, and precious stones: and she came to Solomon, and told him all that was in her mind.
2 सोलोमनले तिनका सबै प्रश्नहरूका जवाफ दिए । सोलोमनको निम्ति कुनै कुरा पनि प्रश्न कठिन भएन । तिनले जवाफ नदिएको कुनै पनि प्रश्न बाँकी रहेन ।
And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.
3 जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनको बुद्धि, र तिनले बनाएको राजमहल देखिन्,
And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 तिनको टेबलको भोजन, तिनका सेवकहरूका बसाइ, तिनका सेवकहरूका काम र तिनीहरूका पोशाकहरू, र तिनका मद्य पियाउनेहरू र तिनका पोशाकहरू, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा तिनले चढाएका होमबलिहरू देखिन्, र तिनी आश्चर्यचकित भइन् ।
and the meat of the tables, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their raiment; and his cupbearers, and their apparel; and the whole burnt offerings which he offered up in the house of the Lord; then she was in ecstasy.
5 तिनले राजालाई भनिन्, “तपाईंका वचन र तपाईंको बुद्धिको विषयमा मैले आफ्नो देशमा सुनेको कुरा साँचो रहेछ ।
And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning your words, and concerning your wisdom.
6 म यहाँ नआएसम्म मैले जे सुनें त्यो मैले विश्वास गरिनँ, र अहिले मेरा आँखाले यी देखेका छन् । तपाईंको बुद्धि र सम्पत्तिको विषयमा मलाई आधा कुरा पनि भनिएको रहेनछ! तपाईंको ख्याति मैले सुनेको भन्दा बढी रहेछ ।
Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of your wisdom was not told me: you have exceeded the report which I heard.
7 तपाईंका मानिसहरू कति धन्यका हुन् र निरन्तर तपाईंको सामु खडा रहने तपाईंका सेवकहरू कति धन्यका हुन् किनभने तिनीहरूले तपाईंका बुद्धिका कुराहरू सुन्न पाउँछन् ।
Blessed [are] your men, blessed [are] these your servants, who stand before you continually, and hear your wisdom.
8 तपाईंसित प्रसन्न भई तपाईंलाई राजा नियुक्त गरेर उहाँको सिंहासनमा बसाल्नुहुने परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वर धन्यका होउन् । किनभने इस्राएललाई सदाको निम्ति स्थापित गराउनलाई तपाईंका परमेश्वरले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम राख्नलाई उहाँले तपाईंलाई तिनीहरूमाथि राजा बनाउनुभयो!”
Blessed be the Lord your God, who took pleasure in you, to set you upon his throne for a king, to the Lord your God: forasmuch as the Lord your God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set you over them for a king to execute judgement and justice.
9 तिनले राजालाई चार टन सुन, प्रशस्त मात्रामा मसला र बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू दिइन् । सोलोमन राजालाई शेबाकी रानीले दिएको जति धेरै मसलाहरू तिनलाई फेरि कसैले पनि दिएन ।
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there were not [any where else] such spices as those which the queen of Saba gave king Solomon.
10 ओपीरबाट सुन ल्याउने हीरामका सेवकहरू र सोलोमनका सेवकहरूले चन्दनको काठ र बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू पनि ल्याए ।
And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.
11 चन्दनका काठबाट राजाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर र राजमहलका सिंढी र संगीतकारहरूका निम्ति वीणा र सारङ्गीहरू पनि बनाए । यहूदा देशमा यसभन्दा अघि कहिल्यै पनि यस्ता काठहरू देखिएका थिएनन् ।
And the king made of the pine timber steps to the house of the Lord, and to the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers: and such were not seen before in the land of Juda.
12 शेबाकी रानीले जे इच्छा गरिन् र जे मागिन् ती हरेक कुरा सोलोमन राजाले तिनलाई दिए । तिनले राजालाई ल्याएर दिएका थोकभन्दा धेरै तिनले उनलाई दिए । यसरी उनी बिदा भइन् र आफ्ना सेवकहरूका साथ आफ्नो देशमा फर्किन् ।
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she requested, besides all that she brought to king Solomon: and she returned to her [own] land.
13 सोलोमनकहाँ हरेक वर्षमा आएको सुनको तौल तेईस टन हुन्थ्यो,
And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14 यो व्यापारीहरू र कारोवारीले ल्याएका सुनबाहेको थियो । अरब देशका सबै राजा र प्रादेशिक गभर्नरहरूले पनि राजाको निम्ति सुन र चाँदी ल्याए ।
besides what the men who were regularly appointed and the merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and princes of the land: all brought gold and silver to king Solomon.
15 सोलोमन राजाले पिटेका सुनका दुई सय ठूला ढाल बनाए । प्रत्येक ढाल बनाउन साढे तिन किलोग्राम सुन लागेको थियो ।
And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred [shekels] of pure gold to one shield.
16 पिटेको सुनका तिन सय साना ढाल पनि तिनले बनाए । प्रत्येक ढालमा करीब डेढ किलोग्राम सुन थियो । राजाले लेबनानको वन भनिने राजमहलमा ती राखे ।
And three hundred buckles of beaten gold: [the weight] of three hundred gold shekels went to one buckler: and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 तब राजाले हस्ती-हाडको एउटा ठूलो सिंहासन बनाए र त्यसमा निखुर सुनको जलप लगाए ।
And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.
18 सिंहासनमा उक्लने छ वटा खुट्किला थिए, र सुनको एउटा पाउदान सिंहासनसँग जोडिएको थियो । आसनका दुवैतिर हात अड्याउने ठाउँ थिए दुवै छेउमा दुई वटा सिंह खडा थिए ।
And [there were] six steps to the throne, riveted with gold, and elbows on either side of the seat of the throne, and two lions standing by the elbows:
19 छ वटै खुट्किलाका दुवैपट्टि एक-एक वटा गरी जम्मा बाह्र वटा सिंह खडा थिए । कुनै पनि राज्यमा यस्तो किसिमको सिंहासन थिएन ।
and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any [other] kingdom.
20 सोलोमनका पिउने कचौरा सबै सुनका थिए, र लेबनानको वन भनिने राजमहलमा भएका पिउने कचौरा सबै सुनका थिए । चाँदीको केही पनि थिएन, किनभने सोलोमनको समयमा चाँदीलाई बहुमूल्य ठानिइन ।
And all king Solomon's vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were covered with gold: silver was not thought anything of in the days of Solomon.
21 हिरामका समुद्री जहाजका साथमा राजाका पनि जहाजहरू थिए । हरेक तिन वर्षमा एक पल्ट यी जहाजहरूले सुन, चाँदी, हस्ती-हाड, ढेडुहरू र बाँदरहरू लिएर आउँथ्यो ।
For a ship went for the king to Tharsis with the servants of Chiram: once every three years came vessels from Tharsis to the king, laden with gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes.
22 यसरी सोलोमन राजाले धन-सम्पत्ति र बुद्धिमा पृथ्वीका अरू सबै राजालाई जितेका थिए ।
And Solomon exceeded all [other] kings both in riches and wisdom.
23 परमेश्वरले सोलोमनको हृदयमा हालिदिनुभएको तिनको बुद्धि सुन्न पृथ्वीका सबै राजाले तिनको उपस्थितिमा बस्न खोज्थे ।
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 आउने हरेकले आफ्नो सौगात चाँदी र सुनका भाँडाहरू, लुगाहरू, हातहतियार र मसलाहरू अनि घोडा र खच्चरहरू वर्षैपिच्छे ल्याउँथे ।
And they brought every one his gifts, silver vessels and golden vessels, and raiment, myrrh and spices, horses and mules, a rate every year.
25 सोलोमनसँग आफ्ना घोडा र रथहरूका निम्ति चार हजार तबेला थिए । अनि तिनका बाह्र हजार घोडचडी थिए, जसलाई तिनले रथहरू राख्ने सहरहरूमा र अरूलाई चाहिं आफूसित यरूशलेममा राखे ।
And Solomon had four thousand mares for chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
26 तिनले यूफ्रेटिस नदीदेखि पलिश्तीहरूका देश र मिश्रदेशको सिमानासम्मै राज्य गरे ।
And he rules over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27 राजासँग यरूशलेममा चाँदीचाहिं ढुङ्गैसरह थिए । तिनले देवदारुको काठचाहिं पहाडका जङ्गली अञ्जीरका बोटहरूसरह तुल्याए ।
And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.
28 तिनीहरूले सोलोमनका निम्ति मिश्रदेश र अरू सबै देशबाट घोडाहरू ल्याए ।
And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every [other] country.
29 सोलोमनको शासनकालका अरू घटनाहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्मै नातान अगमवक्ताको इतिहास, शीलोनी अहियाहको अगमवाणी र दर्शी इद्दोका दर्शनको पुस्तकमा (जसमा नबातका छोरा यारोबामको विषयमा पनि जानकारी छ) वर्णन गरिएका छैनन् र?
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, these are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Achia the Selonite, and in the visions of Joel the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
30 सोलोमनले यरूशलेममा सारा इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.
31 त्यसपछि तिनी आफ्ना पर्खाहरूसित सुते, र मानिसहरूले तिनका बुबा दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे । तिनका ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा रहबाम राजा भए
And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
