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 when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
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 questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 जब शेबाकी रानीले सोलोमनको बुद्धि, र तिनले बनाएको राजमहल देखिन्,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that 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 food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
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 mine own land of your acts, and of 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 ।
Nevertheless I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: for you exceed the fame that 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 ।
Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, which stand continually before you, 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, which delighted in you to set you on his throne, to be king for the LORD your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he you king over them, to do judgment 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 an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
10 ओपीरबाट सुन ल्याउने हीरामका सेवकहरू र सोलोमनका सेवकहरूले चन्दनको काठ र बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू पनि ल्याए ।
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees 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 algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
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 Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13 सोलोमनकहाँ हरेक वर्षमा आएको सुनको तौल तेईस टन हुन्थ्यो,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and 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 ।
Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to 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 targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
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 shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 तब राजाले हस्ती-हाडको एउटा ठूलो सिंहासन बनाए र त्यसमा निखुर सुनको जलप लगाए ।
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid 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, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
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 stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any 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 the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted 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 the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 यसरी सोलोमन राजाले धन-सम्पत्ति र बुद्धिमा पृथ्वीका अरू सबै राजालाई जितेका थिए ।
And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth 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, that 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 man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by 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 stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 तिनले यूफ्रेटिस नदीदेखि पलिश्तीहरूका देश र मिश्रदेशको सिमानासम्मै राज्य गरे ।
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 राजासँग यरूशलेममा चाँदीचाहिं ढुङ्गैसरह थिए । तिनले देवदारुको काठचाहिं पहाडका जङ्गली अञ्जीरका बोटहरूसरह तुल्याए ।
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
28 तिनीहरूले सोलोमनका निम्ति मिश्रदेश र अरू सबै देशबाट घोडाहरू ल्याए ।
And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 सोलोमनले यरूशलेममा सारा इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem 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 slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his position.
