1 Kings 5
1 और सोर नगर के हीराम राजा ने अपने दूत सुलैमान के पास भेजे, क्योंकि उसने सुना था, कि वह अभिषिक्त हो कर अपने पिता के स्थान पर राजा हुआ है: और दाऊद के जीवन भर हीराम उसका मित्र बना रहा।
2 और सुलैमान ने हीराम के पास यों कहला भेजा, कि तुझे मालूम है,
3 कि मेरा पिता दाऊद अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा के नाम का एक भवन इसलिये न बनवा सका कि वह चारों ओर लड़ाइयों में तब तक बझा रहा, जब नक यहोवा ने उसके शत्रुओं को उसके पांव तल न कर दिया।
4 परन्तु अब मेरे परमेश्वर यहोवा ने मुझे चारों ओर से विश्राम दिया है और न तो कोई विरोधी है, और न कुछ विपत्ति देख पड़ती है।
5 मैं ने अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा के नाम का एक भवन बनवाने को ठाना है अर्थात उस बात के अनुसार जो यहोवा ने मेरे पिता दाऊद से कही थी; कि तेरा पुत्र जिसे मैं तेरे स्थान में गद्दी पर बैठाऊंगा, वही मेरे नाम का भवन बनवाएगा।
6 इसलिये अब तू मेरे लिये लबानोन पर से देवदारु काटने की आज्ञा दे, और मेरे दास तेरे दासों के संग रहेंगे, और जो कुछ मज़दूरी तू ठहराए, वही मैं तुझे तेरे दासों के लिये दूंगा, तुझे मालूम तो है, कि सीदोनियों के बराबर लकड़ी काटने का भेद हम लोगों में से कोई भी नहीं जानता।
7 सुलैमान की ये बातें सुनकर, हीराम बहुत आनन्दित हुआ, और कहा, आज यहोवा धन्य है, जिसने दाऊद को उस बड़ी जाति पर राज्य करने के लिये एक बुद्धिमान पुत्र दिया है।
8 तब हीराम ने सुलैमान के पास यों कहला भेजा कि जो तू ने मेरे पास कहला भेजा है वह मेरी समझ में आ गया, देवदारू और सनोवर की लकड़ी के विषय जो कुछ तू चाहे, वही मैं करूंगा।
9 मेरे दास लकड़ी को लबानोन से समुद्र तक पहुंचाएंगे, फिर मैं उनके बेड़े बनवा कर, जो स्थान तू मेरे लिये ठहराए, वहीं पर समुद्र के मार्ग से उन को पहुंचवा दूंगा: वहां मैं उन को खोल कर डलवा दूंगा, और तू उन्हें ले लेना: और तू मेरे परिवार के लिये भोजन देकर, मेरी भी इच्छा पूरी करना।
10 इस प्रकार हीराम सुलैमान की इच्छा के अनुसार उसको देवदारू और सनोवर की लकड़ी देने लगा।
11 और सुलैमान ने हीराम के परिवार के खाने के लिये उसे बीस हज़ार कोर गेहूं और बीस कोर पेरा हुआ तेल दिया; इस प्रकार सुलैमान हीराम को प्रति वर्ष दिया करता था।
12 और यहोवा ने सुलैमान को अपने वचन के अनुसार बुद्धि दी, और हीराम और सुलैमान के बीच मेल बना रहा वरन उन दोनों ने आपस में वाचा भी बान्ध ली।
13 और राजा सुलैमान ने पूरे इस्राएल में से तीन हज़ार पुरुष बेगार लगाए,
14 और उन्हें लबानोन पहाड़ पर पारी पारी करके, महीने महीने दस हज़ार भेज दिया करता था और एक महीना तो वे लबानोन पर, और दो महीने घर पर रहा करते थे; और बेगारियों के ऊपर अदोनीराम ठहराया गया।
15 और सुलैमान के सत्तर हज़ार बोझ ढोने वाले और पहाड़ पर अस्सी हज़ार वृक्ष काटने वाले और पत्थर निकालने वाले थे।
16 इन को छोड़ सुलैमान के तीन हज़ार तीन सौ मुखिये थे, जो काम करने वालों के ऊपर थे।
17 फिर राजा की आज्ञा से बड़े बड़े अनमोल पत्थर इसलिये खोदकर निकाले गए कि भवन की नेव, गढ़े हुए पत्थरों से डाली जाए।
18 और सुलैमान के कारीगरों और हीराम के कारीगरों और गबालियों ने उन को गढ़ा, और भवन के बनाने के लिये लकड़ी और पत्थर तैयार किए।
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the Lord his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
4 But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
16 Beside the chief of Solomon’s officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
