1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exults in Jehovah. My horn is exalted in Jehovah. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in thy salvation.
हन्नाहले प्रार्थना गरिन् र यसो भनिन्, “परमप्रभुमा मेरो हृदय आनन्दित हुन्छ । परमप्रभुमा मेरो सीङ उच्च पारिन्छ । मेरो मुखले मेरा शत्रुहरूमाथि गर्भ गर्छ, किनभने म तपाईंको मुक्तिमा आनन्दित हुन्छु ।
2 There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none besides thee, neither is there any rock like our God.
परमप्रभुझैं पवित्र कोही छैन, किनकि तपाईंबाहेक कोही पनि छैन । हाम्रो परमेश्वरजस्तो कुनै चट्टान छैन ।
3 Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
यति धैरै घमण्ड गरेर अहंकारी नहो । तेरो मुखबाट अहंकारका कुनै कुरा ननिस्कोस् । किनकि परमप्रभु ज्ञानका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँद्वारा नै कामहरू जोखिन्छन् ।
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.
शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूका धनुहरू भाँचिएका छन्, तर ठेस खाएकाहरूले शक्तिलाई कम्मर-पेटीझैं लगाउँछन् ।
5 Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread, and those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. Yea, the barren has borne seven, and she who has many sons languishes.
भरिपूर्ण हुनेहरूले आफैलाई ज्यालामा लगाएका छन् । भोकाएकाहरू भोकाउन हुन छोडेका छन् । बाँझीले समेत सात जना सन्तानहरू जन्माउँछिन्, तर धेरै सन्तान हुने स्त्री शिथिल हुन्छिन् ।
परमप्रभुले मार्नुहुन्छ र जीवन दिनुहुन्छ । उहाँले चिहानमा पुर्याउनुहुन्छ र उठाउनुहुन्छ । (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
परमप्रभुले केही मानिसलाई गरीब र केहीलाई धनी बनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले नम्र तुल्याउनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँले पनि उचाल्नुहुन्छ ।
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, he lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with rulers, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he has set the world upon them.
उहाँले गरीबलाई धूलोबाट उठाउनुहुन्छ । खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई शासकहरूसँग बसाल्न र इज्जको ओहदा पाउने बनाउन उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खरानीको थुप्रोबाट उठाउनुहुन्छ । किनकि पृथ्वीका जगहरू परमप्रभुका हुन् र उहाँले संसारलाई तिमाथि बसाल्नुभएको छ ।
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man shall prevail.
उहाँले आफ्ना विश्वासयोग्य मानिसहरूका पाउहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ, दुष्टहरूलाई अन्धकारको शुन्यतामा राखिनेछ, किनकि बलद्वारा कसैले जित्न सक्नेछैन ।
10 Those who strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in heaven. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth, and he will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
परमप्रभुको विरोध गर्नेहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुने छन् । तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा उहाँ स्वर्गबाट गर्जनुहुनेछ । परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीको अन्तसम्म नै न्याय गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले आफ्नो राजालाई बल दिनुहुनेछ र आफ्नो अभिषिक्तको सीङ उच्च पार्नुहुनेछ ।
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the child ministered to Jehovah before Eli the priest.
त्यसपछि एल्काना आफ्नो घर रामामा गए । त्यो बालकले पुजारी एलीको सामु परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्यो ।
12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah.
यति बेलासम्म एलीका छोराहरू अयोग्य मानिहरू भएका थिए । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई चिनेनन् ।
13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand,
मानिसहरूसँग पुजारीहरूको चलन यस्तो थियो, जब कुनै मानिसले बलिदान चढाउँथ्यो, तब पुजारीका सेवक मासु उमाल्दै गर्दा नै आफ्नो हातमा त्रिशूलसहित आउँथ्यो ।
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot. All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took with it. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
उसले ताप्के वा कराही वा तसला वा भाँडोमा नै घोच्थ्यो । त्यो त्रिशूलमा आउने सबै पुजारीले आफ्नो निम्ति लान्थ्यो । तिनीहरूले शीलोमा आउने सबै इस्राएलीहरूसँग यसै गर्थे ।
15 And before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not have boiled flesh from thee, but raw.
अझ नराम्रो त, तिनीहरूले बोसो जलाउनअगि नै पुजारीको सेवक आउँथ्यो र बलिदान गरिरहेका मानिसलाई भन्थ्यो, “पुजारीको निम्ति पोल्नलाई मासु देऊ, किनकि तिमीबाट उनले उमालेको मासु स्वीकार गर्नुहुन्न, तर काँचो मात्र लिनुहुन्छ ।”
16 And if the man said to him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desires, then he would say, No, but thou shall give it to me now, and if not, I will take it by force.
त्यो मानिसले यसो भन्यो भने, “तिनीहरूले पहिले बोसो जलाउनुपर्छ, र तब तपाईंले इच्छा गरेजति लानुहोस् ।” तब उसले भन्थ्यो, “हुँदैन, तिमीले यो मलाई अहिले नै देऊ । होइन भने, मैले जबरजस्ती गरेर लानेछु ।”
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for the men despised the offering of Jehovah.
यी जवानहरूको पाप परमप्रभुको सामु निकै ठुलो थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको बलिदानलाई तुच्छ ठाने ।
18 But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
तर शामूएलले बालकको रूपमा मलमलको एपोद लगाएर परमप्रभुको सेवा गरे ।
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
तिनको आमाले आफ्नो पतिको साथमा वार्षिक बलिदान चढाउन आउँदा वर्षैपिच्छे तिनको निम्ति एउटा सानो लुगा बनाउँथिन् र तिनलाई ल्याइदिन्थिन् ।
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed by this woman for the petition which was asked of Jehovah. And they went to their own home.
एलीले एल्काना र तिनकी पत्नीलाई यसरी आशिष् दिएर भन्थे, “यी स्त्रीले परमप्रभुसँग बिन्ती गरेकी कारणले परमप्रभुले यी स्त्रीद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई धेरै सन्तानहरू देऊन् ।” त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आफ्नो घरमा नै फर्कन्थे ।
21 And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
परमप्रभुले हन्नाहलाई फेरि सहायता गर्नुभयो र तिनी फेरि गर्भवति भइन् । तिनले तिन छोराहरू र दुई छोरीहरू जन्माइन् । यसैबिच, बालक शमूएल परमप्रभुको सामु बढ्दै गए ।
22 Now Eli was very old. And he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.
यति बेला एली निकै वृद्ध भए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूले सबै इस्राएलसँग गरेका सबै कुरा र तिनीहरू भेट हुने पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा सेवा गर्ने स्त्रीहरूसँग कसरी सुते भन्ने कुरा सुने ।
23 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले किन यस्ता कुराहरू गर्छौ? किनकि मैले तिमीहरूको दुष्ट कामहरू यी सबै मानिसहरूबाट सुन्दैछु ।”
24 No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear. Ye make Jehovah's people to transgress.
हुँदैन, ए मेरा छोराहरू हो । किनकि मैले सुनेको कुरा असल खबर होइन । तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूलाई अनाज्ञाकारी बनाउँछौ ।
25 If one man sins against another, God shall judge him, but if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they did not hearken to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
“एक जना मानिसले अर्काको विरुद्ध पाप गर्यो भने, परमेश्वरले उसको न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ, तर मानिसले परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध पाप गर्छ भने, उसको निम्ति कसले बोलिदिन्छ?” तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबाको कुरा सुनेनन्, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मार्ने इच्छा गर्नुभयो ।
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
बालक शमूएल बढ्दै गए, र परमप्रभु र मानिसहरूको निगाहमा हुर्किए ।
27 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Did I reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
यति बेला परमेश्वरका एक जना मानिस एलीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तेरा पुर्खाहरू मिश्रदेशमा फारोको घरमा दासत्वमा हुँदा, के मैले तिनीहरूकहाँ आफूलाई प्रकट गरिन र?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? And did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings of the sons of Israel made by fire?
मेरो पुजारी हुन, मेरो वेदीमा जान, र धूप बाल्न र मेरो सामु एपोद लगाउनलाई मैले इस्राएलको सारा कुलहरूबाट उसलाई चुनें । मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आगोद्वारा चढाएका सबै बलिदानहरू तेरो पुर्खाको घरानालाई दिएँ ।
29 Why do ye kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chief of all the offerings of Israel my people?
तब किन मेरो बासस्थानमा मलाई आवश्यक मेरा बलिदानहरू र भेटीहरूलाई तैंले किन तुच्छ ठान्छस्? इस्राएलका मेरा मानिसहरूको हरेक बलिदानको उत्तम थोकद्वारा आफैलाई मोटो बनाएर तैंले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई किन मलाई भन्दा बढी आदर गर्छस्?'
30 Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever, but now Jehovah says, Be it far from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
किनकि परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तेरो घराना र तेरो पुर्खाको घराना सदाको निम्ति मेरो सामु हिंड्नुपर्छ भनी मैले प्रतिज्ञा गरें ।' तर अब परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'यसो गर्ने कुरा मबाट टाढै रहोस्, किनकि मलाई आदर गर्नेलाई म आदर गर्छु, तर जसले मलाई तुच्छ ठान्छ उसको आदर घट्नेछ ।
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
हेर्, मैले तेरो बल र तेरो पिताको घरानाको बल नाश पार्ने समय आउँदैछ, ताकि तेरो घरानामा कोही वृद्ध मानिस हुनेछैन ।
32 And thou shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all that I shall give Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house forever.
मरो बासस्थानमा नै तैले संकष्ट देख्नेछस् । इस्राएललाई असल कुरा दिइए तापनि, तेरो घरानामा कोही वृद्ध मानिस हुनेछैन ।
33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart. And all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.
आफ्नो वेदीबाट मैले वञ्चित तेरा कुनै पनि व्यक्तिका आँखा धमिलिनेछन् र तेरो जीवनको निम्ति म कष्ट ल्याउनेछु । तेरो परिवारमा जन्मका सबै मानिसहरू मर्नेछन् ।
34 And this shall be the sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: In one day they shall die, both of them.
तेरा दुई छोराहरू होप्नी र पीनहासमाथि आईपर्ने चिन्ह यो हुनेछः तिनीहरू दुवै एकै दिनमा मर्नेछन् ।
35 And I will raise up for me a faithful priest who shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build for him a sure house, and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
म आफ्नो निम्ति एक जना विश्वासयोग्य पुजारी नियक्त गर्नेछु जसले मेरो हृदय र मेरो प्राणमा जे छ सो गर्नेछ । उसको घराना निर्माण गर्नेछु, अनि ऊ नै मेरो अभिषिक्त राजाको सामु सधैं हिंड्नेछ ।
36 And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices that I may eat a morsel of bread.
तेरो घरानामा बाँकी रहेका हरेक मानिस चाँदीको एक टुक्रा र रोटीको एक टुक्रा माग्न उसकहाँ आउनेछन् र घोप्टो पर्नेछन् र यसो भन्नेछन्, “कृपया, मलाई पनि पुजारीको कुनै काम दिनुहोस्, ताकि म पनि एक टुक्रा खान पाउनेछु ।”
