< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom.
यसपछि यस्‍तो भयो, दाऊदका छोरा अमनोन आफ्नी सुन्दरी झट्केली बहिनी तामारप्रति धेरै आकर्षित भए, जो दाऊदका अर्को छोरा अबशालोमकी आफ्‍नै बहिनी थिइन् ।
2 Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her.
अमनोन यति निराश भए कि आफ्‍नी बहिनी तामारको कारणले तिनी बिरामी परे । उनी कन्या थिइन्, र यसैले उनलाई कुनै कुरा गर्न अमनोनलाई असम्भवजस्तै भयो ।
3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
तर अमनोनका एक जना मित्र थिए जसको नाम योनादाब थियो। तिनी दाऊदका दाजु शिमाहका छोरा थिए । योनादाब साह्रै धूर्त मानिस थिए ।
4 so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
योनादाबले अमनोनलाई भने, 'ए राजकुमार, तिमी किन हरेक बिहान निराश हुन्‍छौ? के तिमी मलाई भन्‍दैनौ?” यसैले अमनोनले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “मेरो भाइ अबशालोमकी बहिनी तामारलाई म प्रेम गर्छु ।”
5 Jonadab told him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’”
तब योनादाबले तिनलाई भने, “आफ्‍नो ओछ्‍यान सुतिराख र बिरामी भएको बहाना गर । जब तिम्रो बुबाले तिमीलाई हेर्न आउँछन्, तब उनलाई भन, 'कृपया मलाई केही खाने कुरा दिन र मेरो सामु ती पकाउन कृपया मेरी बहिनी तामारलाई पठाइदिनुहोस्, ताकि म त्‍यो हेर्न सकूँ र त्‍यो उनको हातबाट खान सकूँ ।”
6 So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.”
त्यसैले अमनोन पल्टिबसे र बिरामी भएको बहाना गरे । जब राजा तिनलाई हेर्न आए, तब अमनोनले राजालाई भने, “कृपया, मेरी बहिनी तामारलाई मेरो बिरामीपनको निम्ति मेरो सामु खाना बनाउन पठाइदिनुहोस् ताकि म उनको हातबाट खान सकूँ ।”
7 Then David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare a meal for him.”
अनि दाऊदले आफ्नो दरबारमा तमारलाई खबर पठाए, “अहिले तिम्रो दाजु अमनोनको घरमा जाऊ र तिनको निम्ति खाना तयार पारिदेऊ ।”
8 So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them.
त्यसैले तामार आफ्‍नो दाजु अमनोनको घरमा गइन् जहाँ तिनी पल्टिरहेका थिए । उनले पिठो लिइन् र तिनले देख्‍ने गरी पिठो मुछिन् र उनले रोटी पकाइन् ।
9 Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone away!” said Amnon. And everyone went out.
उनले तावा लिइन् र तिनलाई रोटी दिइन्, तर तिनले खान इन्कार गरे । त्‍यसपछि अमनोनले त्यहाँ भएका अरूलाई भने, “हरेकलाई बाहिर, मबाट टाढा पठाऊ ।” त्यसैले हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति बाहिर गए ।
10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s bedroom.
यसैले अमनोनले तामारलाई भने, “खाना मेरो कोठामा ल्याऊ ताकि म तिम्रो हातबाट खान सकूँ ।” यसैले आफूले बनाएको रोटी तामारले लिइन् र त्‍यो तिनका दाजु अमनोनको कोठाभित्र लगिदिइन् ।
11 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, “Come lie with me, my sister!”
जब उनले तिनकहाँ खाना ल्याएकी थिइन्, तब तिनले उनको हात समाते र उनलाई भने, “मेरी बहिनी, आऊ, मसँग सुत ।”
12 “No, my brother!” she cried. “Do not humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
उनले तिनलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “होइन, मेरो दाजु, मलाई कर नलगाउनुहोस्, किनकि इस्राएलमा यस्तो कुनै कुरा गर्नुहुँदैन । यस्तो घोर दुष्‍ट कुरा नगर्नुहोस् ।
13 Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
मैले आफ्‍नो लाजबाट कसरी मुक्‍त हुन सक्‍छु र? तपाईंको बारेमा नि? तपाईं इस्राएलमा एक जना मूर्खजस्तै हुनुहुने छ । अब कृपया राजासँग कुरा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि उहाँले मलाई तपाईंबाट अलग गर्नुहुन्‍न ।”
14 But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her.
तापनि अमनोनले उनको कुरा सुनेनन् । तिनी तामारभन्दा बलिया भएका हुनाले, तिनले उनलाई समाते र तिनी उनीसित सुते ।
15 Then Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!”
त्‍यसपछि अमनोनले तामारलाई अत्यान्‍तै घृणा गरे । तिनले उनलाई इच्‍छा गरेकोभन्दा पनि धेरै घृणा तिनले उनलाई गरे । अमनोनले उनलाई भने, “उठ् र जा ।”
16 “No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to listen to her.
तर उनले तिनलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “होइन! मलाई निकाल्‍ने कुरा त ठुलो दुष्‍टता हो जुन तपाईंले मलाई गर्नुभएको कुराभन्दा पनि झन् खराब कुरा हो ।” तर अमनोनले उनको कुरा सुनेनन् ।
17 Instead, he called to his attendant and said, “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!”
बरु, तिनले आफ्नो व्यक्‍तिगत सेवकलाई बोलाए र भने, “यो स्‍त्रीलाई मबाट हटाओ र त्‍यसलाई निकालेपछि ढोका बन्‍द गरिदेओ ।”
18 So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.
तब तिनको सेवकले उनलाई बाहिर ल्यायो र उनलाई निकालेपछि ढोका बन्‍द गरिदियो । तामारले धेरै बुट्टादार लुगा लगाइरहेकी थिइन् किनभने राजाका कन्या छोरीहरूले त्यसरी लगाउँछन् ।
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. And putting her hand on her head, she went away crying bitterly.
तामारले आफ्नो टाउकोमा खरानी हालिन् र आफ्नो लुगा च्यातिन् । उनले आफ्नो हात शिरमाथि राखिन् र उनी ठुलो सोरले रुँदै हिंडेर गइन् ।
20 Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
उनका दाजु अब्शालोमले उनलाई भने, “के तिम्रो दाजु अमनोन तिमीसँगै थिए? मेरी बहिनी, अब चूपचाप बस । तिनी तिम्रै दाजु हुन् । यस कुरालाई मनमा नलेऊ ।” त्यसैले तामार आफ्‍नो दाजुको घरमा एक्‍लै बसिन् ।
21 When King David heard all this, he was furious.
तर जब राजा दाऊदले यी सबै कुरा सुने, तब तिनी रिसले चुर भए ।
22 And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for disgracing his sister Tamar.
अब्शालोमले अमनोनलाई केही पनि भनेनन्, किनकि तिनले आफ्नो बहिनीलाई जे गरेका थिए र तिनले जसरी आफ्नो बहिनी तामारलाई अपमान गरेका थिए, त्यसको निम्ति अब्शालोमले तिनलाई घृणा गरे ।
23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.
पुरा दुई वर्षपछि यस्‍तो भयो, अब्शालोमले एफ्राइम नजिकै रहेको बाल‍हासोरमा भेडको ऊन कत्रिए र अब्शालोमले राजाका सबै छोरालाई निमन्त्रणा दिए ।
24 And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?”
अब्शालोम राजाकहाँ गए र भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तपाईंको दासले भेडाको ऊन कत्रन लगेको छ । कृपया, राजा र उहाँका सेवकहरू हजुरका दासकहाँ सवारी होस् ।”
25 “No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
राजाले अब्शालोमलाई जवाफ दिए, “होइन, मेरो छोरो, हामी सबै जना जानुहुँदैन किनभने तिम्रो निम्ति हामी बोझ हुन्छौं ।” अब्शालोमले राजालाई बिन्ती गरे, तर तिनी गएनन्। बरु तिनले उनलाई आशिष् दिए ।
26 “If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked.
तब अब्शालोमले भने, “होइन भने, मेरो दाजु अमनोनलाई मसँग जान दिनुहोस् ।” राजाले उनलाई भने, “अमनोन तिमीसँग किन जाने नि?”
27 But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
अब्शालोमले दाऊदलाई कर गरे, र तिनले अमनोन र सबै राजकुमारलाई उनीसित जान दिए ।
28 Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”
अब्शालोमले उनका सेवकहरूलाई यसो भनेर आदेश दिए, “ध्यानपूर्वक सुन । जब अमनोनलाई मद्यले असर गर्न थाल्छ र जब म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍छु, ' अमनोनलाई आक्रमण गर,' तब त्यसलाई मार । नडराऊ । के तिमीहरूलाई मैले आज्ञा गरेको होइन र? साहसी र आँटिलो होओ?”
29 So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.
त्यसैले अबशालोमका सेवकहरूले उनले आज्ञा गरेबमोजिम नै अमनोनलाई गरे । तब सबै राजकुमार उठे र सबैले आ-आफ्नो कच्‍चर चढे र भागे ।
30 While they were on the way, a report reached David: “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!”
यसैले यस्‍तो भयो, जब तिनीहरू बाटोमै थिए, तब दाऊदकहाँ यसो भन्‍ने खबर आयो, “अब्शालोमले सबै राजकुमारलाई मरेका छन् र त्‍यहाँ एक जना पनि बाँचेका छैनन् ।”
31 Then the king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
त्यसपछि राजा उठे र आफ्नो लुगा च्याते र भुईंमा पसारो परे । तिनका सबै सेवकले पनि आआफ्ना लुगा च्याते र छेउमा खडा भए ।
32 But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the sons of the king, for only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar.
दाऊदका दाजु शिमाहका छोरा योनादाबले जवाफ दिए र भने, “तिनीहरूले सबै जवानलाई मारेका छन् भनेका कुरामा मेरा मालिकले विश्‍वास नगर्नुहोस्, किनकि अमनोन मात्र मरेका छन् । अमनोनले अब्शालोमकी बहिनी तामारलाई दुर्व्यवहार गरेकै दिनदेखि तिनले यो योजना बनाएका छन् ।
33 So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the king are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
यसकरण मेरो मालिक राजाले यो खबरलाई राजाका सबै छोराहरू मरेका छन् भनी विश्‍वास गर्नको निम्ति मनमा नलिनुहोस्, किनकि अमनोन मात्र मरेका छन् ।”
34 Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him, along the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the king, “I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.”
अब्शालोम भागे । रक्षक भएका एक जना सेवकले हेरे र आफ्‍नो पश्‍चिमतिरको पहाडको बाटोमा धेरै जना मानिस आइरहेको देखे ।
35 So Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have arrived! It is just as your servant said.”
तब योनादाबले राजालाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, राजकुमारहरू आउँदै छन् । यो तपाईंको दासले भनेजस्तै हो ।”
36 And as he finished speaking, the sons of the king came in, wailing loudly. Then the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.
अनि यस्‍तो भयो, जब तिनले बोलिसके तब राजकुमारहरू आइपुगे र ठुलो सोर गरे र रोए । राजा र तिनका सेवकहरू पनि धुरुधुरु रोए ।
37 Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But David mourned for his son every day.
तर अब्शालोम भागे र गशूरका राजा अम्मीहूदका छोरा तल्मैकहाँ गए । दाऊदले आफ्‍नो छोराको निम्ति हरेक दिन विलाप गरे ।
38 After Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, he stayed there three years.
यसैले अब्शालोम भागे र गशूरमा गए, जहाँ तिनी तीन वर्षसम्म बसे ।
39 And King David longed to go to Absalom, for he had been consoled over Amnon’s death.
दाऊद राजाको मनले अब्शालोमलाई भेट्न जाने तीव्र इच्‍छा गर्‍यो, किनकि तिनी अमनोन र उनको मृत्युको बारेमा सान्त्वना पाएका थिए ।
