2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son Hanun.
पछि यस्तो भयो, अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका राजाको मृत्यु भयो, र पछि तिनका छोरा हानून तिनको सट्टामा राजा भए ।
2 And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent some of his servants to console Hanun concerning his father. But when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites,
दाऊदले भने, “तिनका बुबा नाहाशेले मलाई दया देखाएझैँ, म नाहाशका छोरा हानूनलाई दया देखाउने छु ।” त्यसैले दाऊदले तिनका बुबाको सम्बन्धमा हानूनलाई सान्त्वना दिन आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई पठाए । तिनका सेवकहरू अम्मोनको मानिसहरूको देशमा पसे ।
3 the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Has not David instead sent his servants to explore the city, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
तर अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलले आफ्ना मालिक हानूनलाई भने, “के साँच्चै दाऊदले तपाईंलाई सान्त्वना दिन मानिसहरू पठाएर तपाईंको बुबालाई आदर गर्दै छन् भनी तपाईं साँच्चै विचार गर्नुहुन्छ? के दाऊदले यो सहरलाई नाश गर्न यसको जासुसी गर्न र यसलाई हेर्न तिनका सेवकहरूलाई पठाएका होइनन् र?”
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of each man’s beard, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
त्यसैले हानूनले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई समाते, तिनीहरूका दाह्री आधा खौरे, तिनीहरूको जाँघसम्म तिनीहरूको पोशाक काटिदिए र तिनीहरूलाई पठाए ।
5 When this was reported to David, he sent messengers to meet the men, since they had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
जब तिनीहरूले यो कुरा दऊदलाई बताए, तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न मानिसहरूलाई पठाए, किनकि यी मानिसहरू साह्रै लज्जित भएका थिए । राजाले भने, “तिमीहरूको दाह्री फेरि नबढेसम्म यरीहोमा नै बस र त्यसपचि फर्क ।”
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-rehob and Zoba, as well as a thousand men from the king of Maacah and twelve thousand men from Tob.
जब अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले उनीहरू दाऊदको निम्ति दुर्गन्धित भएका थिए भन्ने थाहा पाए, अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले दूतहरू पठाए र बेथ-रहोब र सोबाका बिस हजार आरामी पैदल सिपाही, दश हजार सिपाहीसहित माकाका राजा र बाह्र हजार पुरुषसहित तोबका मानिसहरूलाई भाडामा लिए ।
7 On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
जब दाऊदले यसको बारेमा सुने, तब तिनले योआब र सिपाहीहरूका सबै फौजलाई पठाए ।
8 The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.
अम्मोनीहरू बाहिर निस्के र आफ्नो सहरको ढोकामा युद्धको मोर्चा बाँधे, जबकि सोबा र रहोबका अरामीहरू, अनि तोब र माकाका मानिसहरू भने तिनीहरूसँगै खुल्ला मैदानमा तैनाथ भए ।
9 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 अगाडी र पछाडी दुवैतिरबाट युद्धको मोर्चाले आफूतिर सामना गरेको देखे, तिनले इस्राएलका केही उत्कृष्ट योद्धाहरूलाई छाने र तिनीहरूलाई आरामीहरूको विरुद्ध परिचालन गरे ।
10 And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
तिनका बाँकी मानिसलाई तिनले आफ्नो भाइ अबीशैको अधीनमा दिए र तिनले उनीहरूलाई बाहिर अम्मोनको फौज विरुद्ध लड्नलाई पठाए ।
11 “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, “आरामीहरू मेरो निम्ति साह्रै बलियो भए भने तिमी अबीशै मेरो उद्धार गर्नुपर्छ । तर अम्मोनका फौज तिम्रो निम्ति निकै बलिया भए भने, म आउने छु र तिम्रो उद्धार गर्ने छु ।
12 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.”
बलियो होओ, र हाम्रा मानिसहरू र हाम्रा परमेश्वरको सहरहरूका हामी आफूलाई बलियो प्रकट गरौं, किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसका निम्ति जे असल हुन्छ सो गर्नुहुने छ ।”
13 So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
त्यसैले योआब र तिनका फौजका सिपाहीहरू अरामीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध लड्न अगि बढे, जो इस्राएलका फौजका सामु भाग्न बाध्य भए ।
14 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
जब अम्मोनको फौजले आरामीहरू भागेको देखे, तब तिनीहरू पनि अबीशैबाट भागे र सहरमा फर्केर गए । तब योआब अम्मोनका मानिसहरूबाट फर्के र यरूशलेममा आए ।
15 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they regrouped.
जब आरामीहरूले आफूहरू इस्राएलद्वारा पराजित भएको देखे, तब उनीहरूले फेरि आफूलाई एकसाथ भेला पारे ।
16 Hadadezer sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, and they came to Helam with Shobach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
त्यसपछि हददेजेरले यूफ्रेटिस नदी पारिका आरामी सेनाहरूलाई पनि लिन पठाए । उनीहरू हेलाममा आए र हददेजरका फौजका कमाण्डर शोबाक तिनीहरूको अगिअगि गए ।
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameans arrayed themselves against David and fought against him.
जब दाऊदलाई यो कुरा भनियो, तब तिनले सबै इस्राएललाई एकसाथ भेला गरे, यर्दन तरे र हेलाममा आइपुगे । तब आरामीहरूले आफूलाई दाऊदको विरुद्धमा युद्ध मोर्चामा खडा गराए र तिनीसित युद्ध लडे ।
18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also struck down Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.
आरामीहरू इस्राएलको सामुबाट भागे र दाऊदले उनीहरूका रथका सात सय मानिस र चालिस हजार घोडचढीलाई मारे । उनीहरूका फौजका कमाण्डर शोबक घाइते भए र त्यहीँ मरे ।
19 When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
जब हददेजेरका अधीनमा भएका सबै राजाले आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएको देखे, तब उनीहरूले इस्राएलसँग शान्ति सम्झौता गरे र तिनीहरूका अधीनमा भए । यसरी अरामीहरू अम्मोनका मानिसहरूलाई फेर सहायता गर्न डराए ।
