7 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. 2 The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it. 3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the Lord above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying, “He is good; his love endures forever.” 4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. 5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the people dedicated the temple of God. 6 The priests took their positions, as did the Levites with the Lord’s musical instruments, which King David had made for praising the Lord and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, “His love endures forever.” Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing. 7 Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the Lord, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions. 8 So Solomon observed the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt. 9 On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival for seven days more. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the Lord had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel. 11 When Solomon had finished the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, 12 the Lord appeared to him at night and said: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices. 13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 16 I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there. 17 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees and laws, 18 I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to rule over Israel.’ 19 “But if you[a] turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 20 then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. 21 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’ 22 People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’” 8 At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built the temple of the Lord and his own palace, 2 Solomon rebuilt the villages that Hiram[d] had given him, and settled Israelites in them. 3 Solomon then went to Hamath Zobah and captured it. 4 He also built up Tadmor in the desert and all the store cities he had built in Hamath. 5 He rebuilt Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon as fortified cities, with walls and with gates and bars, 6 as well as Baalath and all his store cities, and all the cities for his chariots and for his horses[e]—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled. 7 There were still people left from the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (these people were not Israelites). 8 Solomon conscripted the descendants of all these people remaining in the land—whom the Israelites had not destroyed—to serve as slave labor, as it is to this day. 9 But Solomon did not make slaves of the Israelites for his work; they were his fighting men, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials—two hundred and fifty officials supervising the men. 11 Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the palace of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the Lord has entered are holy.” 12 On the altar of the Lord that he had built in front of the portico, Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord, 13 according to the daily requirement for offerings commanded by Moses for the Sabbaths, the New Moons and the three annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles. 14 In keeping with the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their duties, and the Levites to lead the praise and to assist the priests according to each day’s requirement. He also appointed the gatekeepers by divisions for the various gates, because this was what David the man of God had ordered. 15 They did not deviate from the king’s commands to the priests or to the Levites in any matter, including that of the treasuries. 16 All Solomon’s work was carried out, from the day the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid until its completion. So the temple of the Lord was finished. 17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the coast of Edom. 18 And Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own men, sailors who knew the sea. These, with Solomon’s men, sailed to Ophir and brought back four hundred and fifty talents[f] of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon. 9 When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind. 2 Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her. 3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, as well as the palace he had built, 4 the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, the cupbearers in their robes and the burnt offerings he made at[g] the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed. 5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. 6 But I did not believe what they said until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard. 7 How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! 8 Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on his throne as king to rule for the Lord your God. Because of the love of your God for Israel and his desire to uphold them forever, he has made you king over them, to maintain justice and righteousness.” 9 Then she gave the king 120 talents[h] of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 10 (The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon brought gold from Ophir; they also brought algumwood[i] and precious stones. 11 The king used the algumwood to make steps for the temple of the Lord and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen in Judah.) 12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for; he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country. 13 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,[j] 14 not including the revenues brought in by merchants and traders. Also all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the territories brought gold and silver to Solomon. 15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels[k] of hammered gold went into each shield. 16 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold, with three hundred shekels[l] of gold in each shield. The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. 17 Then the king made a great throne covered with ivory and overlaid with pure gold. 18 The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. On both sides of the seat were armrests, with a lion standing beside each of them. 19 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom. 20 All King Solomon’s goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Nothing was made of silver, because silver was considered of little value in Solomon’s day. 21 The king had a fleet of trading ships[m] manned by Hiram’s[n] servants. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons. 22 King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth. 23 All the kings of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart. 24 Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift—articles of silver and gold, and robes, weapons and spices, and horses and mules. 25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horses,[o] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. 27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from all other countries. 29 As for the other events of Solomon’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat? 30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 31 Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king. 11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” 8 “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.” 11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” 12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. 14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” 17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18 Now Bethany was less than two miles[b] from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. 21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” 28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

2 इतिहास 9 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) शबाकी रानीले सुलेमानलाई भेट्छिन् 9 शबाकी रानीले सुलेमानको किर्तिको विषयमा सुनिन्। तिनी सुलेमानलाई कठिन प्रश्नहरू द्वार परीक्षा गर्न यरूशलेम आइन्। शबाकी रानीका साथ एक विशाल समूह थियो। तिनीसित ऊँटहरू थिए जसले मसला, प्रचुरमात्रामा सुन अनि बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू बोकेका थिए। तिनी सुलेमान कहाँ आइन् र तिनीसित कुरा-कानी गरिन्। तिनीसित सुलेमानलाई सोध्ने अनेक प्रश्नहरू थिए। 2 सुलेमानले तिनका सबै प्रश्नहरूका उत्तर दिए। सुलेमानका निम्ति व्याख्या गर्न वा उत्तर दिन कठिन पर्ने कुनै कुरा थिएन। 3 शबाकी रानीले सुलेमानको ज्ञान अनि तिनले निर्माण गरेका भवन देखिन्। 4 तिनले सुलेमानको मेचमा भोजन र तिनका अनेकौं महत्हपूर्ण अधिकारीहरू देखिन्। तिनले तिनका सेवकहरूले काम गरेको बस्त्र पहिरेको तरिका देखिन्। तिनले सुलेमानका दाखरस तयार गर्ने सेवकहरू अनि तिनीहरूले पहिरेका बस्त्रहरू देखिन्। तिनले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सुलेमानले होमबलि अर्पण गरेका देखिन्। जव शबाकी रानीले यी सबै कुराहरू देखिन् तब तिनी आश्चर्य भइन्। 5 तब तिनले राजा सुलेमानलाई भनिन्, “मैले मेरो देशमा तपाईंको महान कार्यहरू अनि बुद्धिको विषयमा सुनेका कथाहरू सत्य रहेछन्। 6 म यहाँ आएर आफ्नै आँखाले नदेखुन्जेल मैले ती कथाहरूमा विश्वास गरेकी थिइन। अहो, मलाई तपाईंको महान बुद्धिको आधा मात्र पनि भनिएको छैन रहेछ। तपाईं मैले सुनेका कथाहरू भन्दा महान हुनुहुन्छ। 7 तपाईंका पत्नीहरू अनि अधिकारीहरू अति भाग्यमानी रहेछन्। तपाईंका ज्ञानका कुराहरू तिनीहरूले तपाईंको सेवा गर्दै सुन्न सक्ने छन्। 8 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा होस्। उहाँ तपाईंसित प्रसन्न हुनुहुन्छ अनि परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरका निम्ति शासन गर्न तपाईंलाई उहाँको सिंहासनमाथि राख्नु भएको छ। परमेश्वरले इस्राएललाई प्रेम गर्नु हुन्छ। इस्राएललाई सदा-सर्वदा सहयोग प्रदान गर्नु हुन्छ। यसकारण उहाँले तपाईंलाई इस्राएलमाथि न्याय र धार्मीकता पालन गर्ने राजा बनाउनु भयो।” 9 तब, शबाकी रानीले सुलेमानलाई एक सय बीस तोडा सुन, प्रचुर मात्रामा मसला, अनि बहुमूल्य रत्नहरू दिइन्। शबाकी रानीले जस्तै उत्तम मसलाहरू कसैले सुलेमानलाई दिएका थिएनन्। 10 हूरामका सेवकहरू अनि सुलेमानका सेवकहरूले ओपीरबाट सुन ल्याए। तिनीहरूले चन्दनका काठ अनि बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू पनि ल्याए। 11 राजा सुलेमानले चन्दनका काठ परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको निम्ति सिंडी र राज भवन निर्माण गर्नमा प्रयोग गरे। सुलेमानले चन्दनका काठ गायकहरूका निम्ति बीणा र सारङ्गीहरू बनाउनमा पनि प्रयोग गरे। यहूदा देशमा चन्दनका काठद्वारा बनाइएका ती बस्तुहरू जस्ता सुन्दर बस्तुहरू कसैले कहिले देखेका थिएनन्। 12 राजा सुलेमानले शबाकी रानीलाई तिनले चाहेका अनि याचना गरेका सबै चीजहरू दिए। तिनले शबाकी रानीले आफूलाई दिएको भन्दा अधिक दिए। त्यस पछि शबाकी रानी र तिनका सेवकहरू विदा भए आफ्नै देशमा फर्की गए। सुलेमानको अपार सम्पत्ति 13 सुलेमानले एक बर्षमा जति सुन प्राप्त गरे त्यसको तौल 666 तोडा थियो। 14 घुमन्ते पैकारीहरू अनि व्यापारीहरूले सुलेमान कहाँ अझ अधिक सुन ल्याए। अरबका सबै राजाहरू अनि देशका शासकहरूले पनि सुलेमान कहाँ सुन अनि चाँदी ल्याए। 15 राजा सुलेमानले पिटेका सुनको 200 वटा ठूल-ठूला ढालहरू बनाए। प्रत्येक ढाल बनाउनका निम्ति प्रायः 600 शेकेल पिटेको सुन प्रयोग गरियो। 16 सुलेमानले पिटेको सुनको 300 वटा सा-साना ढालहरू पनि बनाए। प्रत्येक ढाल बनाउनका निम्ति प्रायः 300 शेकेल सुन प्रयोग गरियो। सुलेमानले सुनका ढालहरू लबानोनको बन-महलमा राखे। 17 राजा सुलेमानले विशाल सिंहासन निर्माण गर्न हात्तीको दाँत प्रयोग गरे। तिनले सिंहासनलाई शुद्ध सुनद्वारा मोहोरे। 18 सिंहासनमा छःवटा सिंढीहरू थिए। अनि त्यसको एक पाउ-दान थियो जो सुनले बनिएको थियो। सिंहासनको आसनका दुवै तिर पाखुरा अडयाउने बाहुहरू थिए। प्रत्येक बाहुको छेउमा सिंहका मूर्ति उभिएका थिए। 19 छःवटा सिंडीमा बाह्रवटा सिंहका मूर्तिहरू उभिएका थिए। प्रत्येक सिंडीको प्रत्येक छेउमा एउटा सिंह थियो। यस प्रकारले बनाएको सिंहासन जस्तो अन्य कुनै राज्यमा थिएन। 20 राजा सुलेमानका पिउने सबै प्यालाहरू सुनद्वारा बनिएका थिए। लबानोनको बन-महलका सबै घरेलु चीज-बीजहरू शुद्ध सुनले बनिएका थिए। सुलेमानको समयमा यति विघ्न सम्पत्ति थियो कि चाँदीलाई त्यति मूल्यवान ठानिंदैन थियो। 21 किनभने राजा सुलेमानका जहाजहरू थिए जो हूरामका मानिसहरूले तर्शीश तिर चलाएर लान्थे। अनि प्रत्येक तीन-तीन बर्षमा सुन, चाँदी हस्ती-हाड अनि ढेंडु र बाँदरहरू लादिएर तर्शीशबाट फर्किन्थे। 22 राजा सुलेमान धन सम्पत्ति र बुद्धिमा संसारका अन्यक कुनै पनि राजा भन्दा महान भए। 23 संसारका सबै अन्य राजाहरू सुलेमान कहाँ तिनका बुद्धिमत्ता पूर्ण निर्णयहरू सुन्नका निम्ति भेट गर्न आउँथे। तिनीहरू सुलेमानलाई परमेश्वरले दिनु भएको ज्ञानका कुरा सुन्न आउँथे। 24 हरेक साल ती राजाहरूले सुलेमानका निम्ति भेटी ल्याउँथे। तिनीहरूले चाँदी अनि सुनले बनेका चीज बीजहरू, बस्त्रहरू, हतियारहरू, मसालाहरू, घोडाहरू अनि खच्चरहरू ल्याउँथे। 25 सुलेमान सित 4,000 घोडा अनि रथहरू राख्ने तबेला थिए। तिनका 12,000 सारथिहरू थिए। सुलेमानले तिनीहरूलाई यरूशलेममा आफूसित रथका निम्ति विशेष शहरहरूमा राखे। 26 सुलेमान यूफ्रेटिस नदी देखि पलिश्ती मानिसहरूको देश, अनि मिश्रदेशको सीमानासम्म फैलिएका क्षेत्रका राजाहरूका राजा थिए। 27 राजा सुलेमानसित यति विघ्न चाँदी थियो कि त्यो यरूशलेमका ढुङ्गाहरू जस्तै थियो। अनि तिनी सित यति धेरै देवदारका काठहरू थिए कि त्यो पार्वत्य देशहरूका अन्जीरका रूखहरू जस्तै साधरण थिए। 28 मानिसहरूले मिश्रदेशबाट अनि अन्य सबै देशहरूबाट सुलेमान कहाँ घोडाहरू ल्याउँथे। सुलेमानको मृत्यु 29 सुलेमानद्वारा अन्य कुराहरू शुरू देखि अन्तसम्म गरिएका, अगमवक्ता नातानका लेखहरूमा, शीलोका अहियाहका अगमवाणी अनि दर्शी इद्दोका दर्शनमा लेखिएका छन्। इद्दोका दर्शनहरू नबातका छोरा यारोबामको बारेमा थिए। 30 सुलेमान चालीस बर्षसम्म यरूशलेममा सम्पूर्ण इस्राएलका राजा थिए। 31 त्यसपछि सुलेमानले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित विश्राम लिए। मानिसहरूले तिनलाई तिनका पिता दाऊदको शहरमा गाडिदिए। सुलेमानका छोरा रहबाम सुलेमानको स्थानमा नयाँ राजा भए।
