1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
त्यसको केही समयपछि अम्मोनीहरूका राजा नाहाशको मृत्यु भयो, र तिनको सट्टामा तिनका छोरा राजा भए ।
2 And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,
दाऊदले भने, “म नाहाशका छोरा हानूनलाई दया देखाउनेछु, किनकि तिनका पिताले मलाई दया देखाए ।” यसैले तिनका पिताको बारेमा सहानुभूति प्रकट गर्न दाऊदले दूतहरू पठाए । दाऊदका दूतहरू हानूनलाई सहानुभूति प्रकट गर्न अम्मोनीहरूको देशमा पसे ।
3 the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
तर अम्मोनी राजकुमारहरूले हानूनलाई भने, “दाऊदले तपाईंलाई सहानुभूति प्रकट गर्न मानिसहरू पठाउँदा तिनले तपाईंका पितालाई आदर गरेका हुन् भनी के तपाईं सम्झनुहुन्छ? तपाईंको देशलाई पराजित गर्नको निम्ति जाँच गर्नलाई तिनका सेवकहरू आएका होइनन् र?”
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
यसकारण हानूनले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई समाते, तिनीहरूका कपाल खौरिदिए, र काँधदेखि कम्मरसम्म तिनीहरूका आधा लुगा काटेर तिनीहरूलाई पठाइदिए ।
5 When someone came and told David about his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
जब तिनीहरूले यो कुरा दाऊदलाई वर्णन गरिदिए, तिनले तिनीहरूसित भेट गर्न पठाए, किनकि तिनीहरूको साह्रै लाजमा पारिएका थिए । राजाले भने, “तिमीहरूका दाह्री फेरि नबढुञ्जेल यरीहोमा नै बस र त्यसपछि फर्क ।”
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
जब अम्मोनीहरूले आफूहरूला दाऊदको दृष्टिमा दुर्घन्दित भएको देखे, तब हानून र अम्मोनीहरूले अराम-नाहारैम, अराम-माका र सोबाबाट रथहरू र सारथिहरू ज्यालामा ल्याउन एक हजार तोडा चाँदी पठाए ।
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba while the Ammonites came from their cities and marched out for battle.
उनीहरूले बत्तीस हजार रथ र सारथिहरू, अनि माकाका राजा र उनका मानिसहरूलाई ज्यालामा लिए, र उनीहरू आएर मेदबाको सामुन्ने छाउनी बनाए । त्यसपछि अम्मोनीहरूचाहिं आ-आफ्ना सहरहरूबाट भेला भएर लडाइँ गर्न आए ।
8 On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
जब दाऊदले यो कुरा सुने, तिनले योआब र जम्मै सेनालाई तिनीहरूसँग भेट गर्न पठाए ।
9 The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
अम्मोनका मानिसहरू आए र सहरको मूल ढोकामा लडाइँको निम्ति पङ्क्तिवद्ध भए । सहायताका निम्ति आएका राजाहरू भने खुला मैदानमा थिए ।
10 When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
जब योआबले आफूलाई अगि र पछि दुवैतिर लडाइँले घेरेको थाहा पाए, तब तिनले केही असल इस्राएली फौजलाई लिए र अरामीहरूको विरुद्ध तयार पारे ।
11 And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
तिनका अरू बाँकी फौजलाई तिनले आफ्ना भाइ अबीशैको कमाण्डमा दिए, र उनीहरूलाई तिनले अम्मोनीहरूको विरुद्ध यद्धमा खडा गरे ।
12 “If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
योआबले भने, “अरामीहरू मेरो निम्ति साह्रै शक्तिशाली भए भने अबीशै तिमीले मेरो उद्धार गर्नुपर्छ । अम्मोनीहरू तिम्रो निम्ति साह्रै शक्तिशाली भए भने म आएर तिम्रो उद्धार गर्नेछु ।
13 Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
साहसिलो होऊ! हामी आफ्ना मानिस र हाम्रा परमेश्वरका सहरहरूका निम्ति साहसिलो होऔं, किनकि परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल छ उहाँले त्यही गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
14 So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
यसैले योआब र तिनका सेनाका फौज अरामीहरूका विरुद्ध अगाडि बढे । तिनीहरू इस्राएलको सेनाको सामुबाट भाग्न बाध्य पारिए ।
15 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
जब अम्मोनका सेनाले अरामीहरूलाई भागेका देखे, तब उनीहरू पनि तिनका भाइ अबीशैको सामुबाट भागे र सहरभित्र फर्के । यसकारण योआब अम्मोनका मानिसहरूबाट फर्के र यरूशलेममा फिर्ता गए ।
16 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
जब अरामीहरूले आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएका देखे, तब तिनीहरूले यूफ्रेटिस नदीको पारिबाट हददेजेरका कमाण्डर शोपकको कमाण्डमा भएका अरू अरामी सेनालाई बोलाए ।
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
जब दाऊदलाई यसको बारेमा बताइयो, तिनले जम्मै इस्राएललाई जम्मा गरे, यर्दन नदी पार गरे र उनीहरूकहाँ गए । तिनले आरामीहरूको विरुद्ध लडाइँ गर्न सेनाको तयारी गरे र तिनीहरूले तिनीसँग युद्ध गरे ।
18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
आरामीहरू इस्राएलदेखि भागे, र दाऊदले अरामीहरूका सात हजार सारथिहरू र चालीस हजार पैदल सिपाहीहरू मारे । तिनले सेनाका कमाण्डर शोपकलाई पनि मारे ।
19 When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
हददेजेरका अधीनमा भएका राजाहरूले जब आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएका देखे, तब तिनीहरूले दाऊदसँग सन्धि गरे र तिनको सेवा गरे । यसैले अरामका मानिसहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै अम्मोनीहरूलाई सहायता दिनलाई राजी भएनन् ।
