Assuming you want a 301 (Moved Permanently) redirect, then put the following in the .htaccess file in your document root:

Options +FollowSymLinks        # Must be enabled if not already
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^abc/content/content\.jsp\?contentId=(123|345)$ https://newpage.silkroad.com/ [R=301,L]
