< २ इतिहास 1 >
1 दाऊदका छोरा सोलोमन आफ्नो शासनमा बलियो भएपछि र परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वर तिनको साथमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तिनलाई धेरै शक्तिशाली बनाउनुभयो ।
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom. And Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 सबै इस्राएलसित, हजार कमाण्डर र सयका कमाण्डरहरू, र न्यायकर्ताहरू, र सारा इस्राएलमा भएका हरेक शासक, घरानाहरूका मुखियाहरूसित सोलोमनले कुरा गरे ।
And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every ruler in all Israel, the heads of the fathers.
3 अनि सोलोमन र तिनीसँग भएका सबै सभा गिबोनमा भएको अग्लो स्थानमा गए, किनकि त्यहाँ परमेश्वरका भेट हुने पाल थियो, जुन परमप्रभुका सेवक मोशाले उजाड-स्थानमा बनाएका थिए ।
So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon. For the tent of meeting of God was there, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
4 तर दाऊदले परमेश्वरको सन्दूक किर्यत-यारीमबाट आफूले तयार गरेको ठाउँमा माथि ल्याएका थिए, किनकि त्यसको निम्ति तिनले यरूशलेममा पाल टाँगेका थिए ।
But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it. For he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 साथै हूरका नाति, ऊरीका छोरा बजलेलले बनाएको काँसाको वेदी गिबोनमा नै परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानको सामुन्ने थियो । सोलोमन र त्यो सभा त्याहाँ गए ।
Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah. And Solomon and the assembly sought to it.
6 सोलोमन भेट हुने पालमा परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने भएको काँसाको वेदीमा गए र त्यसमा एक हजार होमबलि चढाए ।
And Solomon went up there to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 त्यस रात परमेश्वर सोलोमनकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “माग्, म तँलाई के दिऊँ?”
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 सोलोमनले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई महान् करारको विश्वस्तता देखाउनुभएको छ र मलाई उहाँको सट्टामा राजा तुल्याउनुभएको छ ।
And Solomon said to God, Thou have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his stead.
9 अब हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तपाईंले मेरा बुबा दाऊदलाई दिनुभएको तपाईंको प्रतिज्ञा पुरा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि पृथ्वीको धुलो जत्तिकै अनगन्ती मानिसमाथि तपाईंले मलाई राजा बनाउनुभएको छ ।
Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise to David my father be established. For thou have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 अब मलाई बुद्धि र ज्ञान दिनुहोस् ताकि यी मानिसलाई म नेतृत्व गर्न सकूँ, किनकि यति धेरै सङ्ख्यामा रहेका तपाईंका मानिसहरूको न्याय कसले गर्न सक्छ र?”
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people. For who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 परमेश्वरले सोलोमनलाई भन्नुभयो, “किनभने तेरो हृदयमा यो कुरा छ, र तैंले समृद्धि, धन-सम्पत्ति वा आदर मागिनस् न त तँलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूको प्राण, न त आफ्नो निम्ति दीर्घायु नै मागिस्, तर आफ्नो निम्ति तैंले बुद्धि र ज्ञान मागिस् ताकि तैंले मेरा मानिसमाथि शासन सक्छस् जसमाथि मैले तँलाई राजा बनाएको छु, र म यसै गर्नेछु ।
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate thee, neither yet have asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou may judge my people over whom I have made thee king,
12 अब म तँलाई बुद्धि र ज्ञान दिनेछु । म तँलाई यस्तो समृद्धि, धन-सम्पत्ति, र आदर पनि दिनेछु, जो तँभन्दा अघिका कुनै राजाले पाएका थिएनन्, र तँभन्दा पछिका कुनैले पनि पाउनेछैनन् ।”
wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee. And I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
13 तब सोलोमन गिबोनको अल्गो स्थानको भेट हुने पालबाट यरूशलेममा आए। तिनले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरे ।
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.
14 सोलोमनले रथहरू र घोडचढीहरू जम्मा गरे, र तिनीसँग चौध सय रथ र बाह्र हजार घोडचढीहरू थिए, जसलाई तिनले रथ राख्ने सहरहरूमा र आफू, अर्थात् यरूशलेममा राजसित राखे ।
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. And he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 राजाले सुन र चाँदी यरूशलेममा ढुङ्गैसरह बनाए र देवदारुचाहिं तराईमा हुने अन्जीरहरूजस्तै प्रशस्त तुल्याए ।
And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
16 सोलोमनका घोडाहरू मिश्रदेश र क्यूएबाट पैठारी हुन्थे। तिनका व्यापारीहरूले ती क्यूएबाट किनेर ल्याउँथे ।
And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king's merchants received them in herds, each herd at a price.
17 तिनीहरूले प्रत्येक रथ सात सय शेकेल चाँदीमा र घोडाचाहिं १५० शेकेल चाँदीमा मिश्रदेशबाट पैठारी गर्थे । तिनीहरूले हित्ती र अरामीहरूका राजाहरूलाई ती निकासी पनि गर्थे ।
And they went after and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And so they brought them out by their means for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria.
