2 Samuel 15
1 Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.
यसपछि यस्तो भयो, अब्शालोमले आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा रथ र घोडाहरू र आफ्नो अगिअगि दौडिनलाई पचास जना मानिस तयार पारे ।
2 He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”
अब्शालोम बिहान सबेरै उठ्थे र सहरको ढोकातिर जाने बाटोमा खडा हुन्थे । जब कोही विवाद भएका व्यक्ति न्यायको निम्ति राजाकहाँ आउँथ्यो, तब अब्शालोमलले त्यसलाई बोलाउँथे र भन्थे, “तपाईं कुन सहरबाट आउनुभएको हो?” अनि त्यो मानिसले जवाफ दिन्थ्यो, “तपाईंको दास इस्राएलको एउटा कुलबाट हो ।”
3 Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”
त्यसैले अब्शालोमले त्यसलाई भन्थे, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंको मुद्दा असल र ठिक छ तर तपाईंको मुद्दा हेर्नलाई राजाले कसैले शक्ति दिनुभएको छैन ।”
4 And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”
अब्शालोमलले थप्थे, “मलाई यस देशको न्यायकर्ता बनाइदिएको भए हुन्थ्यो, ताकि कुनै पनि मुद्दा वा झगडा भएका हरेक मानिस मकहाँ आउँथ्यो र म त्यसलाई न्याय दिलाउँथे ।”
5 Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.
यसैले यस्तो भयो, जब कुनै पनि मानिस अब्शालोमलाई आदर गर्न आउँथ्यो, तब अब्शालोमले आफ्नो हात काँधमा राख्थे र त्यसलाई अङ्गालो हाल्थे र त्यसलाई चुम्बन गर्थे ।
6 Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
राजाकहाँ न्यायको निम्ति आउने सबै इस्राएलसित अब्शालोमले यसरी नै व्यवहार गरे । यसरी अब्शालोमले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका हृदय चोरे ।
7 After four years had passed, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I have made to the LORD.
चार वर्षको अन्ततिर यस्तो भयो कि अब्शालोमले राजालाई भने, “कृपया, मैले हेब्रोनका परमप्रभुलाई गरेको भाकल पुरा गर्न मलाई जान दिनुहोस् ।
8 For your servant made a vow while dwelling in Geshur of Aram, saying: ‘If indeed the LORD brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.’”
किनकि तपाईंको दासले अरामको गशूरमा बस्दा यसो भनेर एउटा भाकल गरें, “परमप्रभुले मलाई यरूशलेममा ल्याउनुभयो भने, म परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्ने छु ।”
9 “Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom got up and went to Hebron.
त्यसैले राजाले उनलाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।” यसैले अब्शालोम उठे र हेब्रोनमा गए ।
10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the horn, you are to say, ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron!’”
तर अब्शालोमले इस्राएलका सबै कुलमा यसो भनेर जासुसहरू पठाए, “तिमीहरूले तुरहीको आवाज सुन्ने बित्तिकै, तिमीहरूले यसो भन्नू, “हेब्रोनमा अबशालोम राजा हुनुभयो' ।”
11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
अब्शालोमसँगै यरूशलेमका दुई सय जना मानिस गए जसले निमन्त्रणा पाएका थिए । अब्शालोमले योजना गरेका कुनै कुरा पनि थाहा नपाई तिनीहरू आफ्नो अज्ञानतामा गए ।
12 While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept increasing.
अब्शालोमले बलिदान चाढाउँदा, उनले गिलोका अहीतोपेललाई पनि बोलाए । तिनी दाऊदका सल्लाहकार थिए । अब्शालोमको षड्यान्त्र प्रबल थियो, किनकि अब्शालोमको पछि लाग्ने मानिसहरूका सङ्ख्या निरन्तर बढ्दै थियो ।
13 Then a messenger came to David and reported, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
दाऊदकहाँ एक जना दूत यसो भन्दै आए, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका हृदयहरू अब्शालोमतिर लागेको छ ।”
14 And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or we will not escape from Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us, heap disaster on us, and put the city to the sword.”
त्यसैले दाऊदले आफूसँग यरूशलेममा भएका आफ्ना सबै सेवकलाई भने, “उठ र हामी भागौं नत्रता हामी कोही पनि अब्शालोमबाट बाँच्ने छैनौं । तुरुन्तै जानलाई तयार होओ, नत्रता त्यसले हामीलाई चाँडै आक्रमण गर्ने छ र त्यसले हामीमाथि विपद् ल्याउने छ र तरवारले यो सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्ने छ ।”
15 The king’s servants replied, “Whatever our lord the king decides, we are your servants.”
राजाका सेवकहरूले राजालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका दासहरू हाम्रो मालिक महाराजाले जे भन्नुहुन्छ सो गर्न तयार छन् ।”
16 Then the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
राजा र तिनका सबै परिवार तिनीसितै विदा भए, तर दरबारको रेखदेख गर्न दश जना उपपत्नीलाई राजाले छोडिराखे ।
17 So the king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
राजा र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिस बाहिर गएपछि, तिनीहरू अन्तिम घरमा रोकिए ।
18 and all his servants marched past him—all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath.
तिनका सबै फौज तिनीसँगै हिंडे र सबै करेतीहरू, पेलेथीहरू र गित्तीहरू गरी गातबाट तिनलाई पछ्याउने छ सय जना मानिसहरू तिनको अगिअगि गए ।
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland.
तब राजाले गित्ती इत्तैलाई भने, “तिमी किन हामीसँग आउँछौ? फर्क र राजासँगै बस, किनकि तिमी परदेशी र निर्वासित छौ । तिम्रो आफ्नै ठाउँमा फर्क ।
20 In fact, you arrived only yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I do not know where I am going? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness.”
किनकि तिमी भर्खर मात्र आएका हौ । तिमीलाई हामीसँगै भौंतारिन म किन लगाउछु र? म कहाँ जाँदै छु भन्ने मलाई नै थाहा छैन । त्यसैले फर्क र तिम्रा गाउँले मित्रहरूलाई फर्काएर लैजाऊ । बफदारीता र विश्वासनीयता तिमीसँगै रहोस् ।”
21 But Ittai answered the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be!”
तर इत्तैले राजालाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ र जस्तो मेरो मालिक महाराजा जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, मर्न वा बाँच्ने जेसुकै परोस् हजुको दास मेरो मालिक महाराजा जुन ठाउँमा जहाँ जानुहुन्छ त्यहीं नै जाने छ ।”
22 “March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
त्यसैले दाऊदले इत्तैलाई भने, “अगि बढ, हामी निरन्तर बस ।” त्यसैले गित्ती इत्तै राजा, तिनका सबै मानिस र सबै परिवार सँगसँगै हिंडे ।
23 Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by. And as the king crossed the Kidron Valley, all the people also passed toward the way of the wilderness.
राजाले किद्रोनको बेसी तर्दा देशभरिका सबै मानिस धुरुधुरु रोए र सबै मानिस पनि राजासँगै पारि तरे । सबै मानिस उजाडस्थान जाने बाटोसम्म गए ।
24 Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the city.
परमेश्वरको करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने सबै लेवीसहित सादोक पनि थिए । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई भुईंमा राखे र त्यसपछि अबियाथार तिनीहरूसँगै सहभागी भए । सबै मानिस सहरबाट बाहिर नआएसम्म तिनीहरूले पर्खे ।
25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
राजाले सादोकलाई भने, “परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई सहरमा नै फर्काएर लेजाऊ । मैले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएँ भने, उहाँले मलाई यहाँ फर्काएर ल्याउनुहुने छ र सन्दुक र उहाँ बस्नुहुने ठाउँ मलाई फेरि देखाउनुहुने छ ।
26 But if He should say, ‘I do not delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him.”
तर उहाँले यसो भन्नुहुन्छ भने, 'तँसँग म प्रशन्न छैन,' हेर, म यहाँ छु, उहाँलाई जे असल छ सो उहाँले मलाई गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.
राजाले सादोक पुजारीलाई यसो पनि भने, “के तिमी दर्शी होइनौ? सहरमा शान्तिसँग फर्क र तिम्रा दुई छोरा, तिम्रा छोरा अहीमास र अबियाथारका छोरा जोनाथन तिम्रो साथमा छन् ।
28 See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
हेर, मलाई जानकारी दिनलाई तिमीबाट खबर नआएसम्म म अराबाको जँघारहरूमा पर्खिने छु ।”
29 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.
त्यसैले सादोक र अबियाथारले परमेश्वरको सन्दुक यरूशलेममा नै फिर्ता ल्याए र तिनीहरू त्यहीं बसे ।
30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went.
तर दाऊद खाली खुट्टाले हिंडेर रुँदै जैतूनको डाँडाको उकालो चढे र तिनले आफ्नो शिर ढाकेका थिए । तिनीसँग भएका हरेक मानिसले आआफ्ना शिर ढाके र तिनीहरू रुँदै माथि उकालो चढे ।
31 Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
कसैले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “अहीतोपेल अब्शालोमसँगै षड्यान्त्र गर्नेहरूसित छ ।” त्यसैले दाऊदले प्रार्थना गरे, “हे परमप्रभु, कृपा गरी, अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहलाई मूर्खतामा परिणत गर्नुहोस् ।”
32 When David came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
यस्तो भयो, जब दाऊद बाटोको टाकुरामा आइपुगे जहाँ परमेश्वरको आराधना गरिन्थ्यो, तब अरकी हुशै आफ्नो लुगा च्यातेर शिरमा धुलो छरेर दाऊदलाई भेट्न आए, ।
33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी मसँग गयौ भने, तिमी मेरो निम्ति बोझ बन्ने छौ ।
34 But you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me if you return to the city and say to Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
तर तिमी सहरमा फर्केर गयौ र अबशालोमलाई यसो भन्यौ भने, 'जसरी म विगतमा हजुरका बुबाको सेवक भएँ त्यसरी नै, हे महाराजा, म हजुरको दास हुने छु,' तब तिमीले मेरो खातिर अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहलाई गोलमाल पार्नेछौ ।
35 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.
के तिमीसँग सादोक पुजारी र अबियाथार हुने छैनन् र? त्यसैले तिमीले दरबारमा राजाबाट जे-जे सुन्छौ सो कुरा तिमीले पुजारी सादोक र अबियाथारलाई भन्नुपर्छ ।
36 Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”
हेर, तिनीहरूका साथमा तिनीहरूका दुई छोरा सादोकका छोरा अहीमास र अबियाथारका छोरा जोनाथन छन् । तिमीले सुनेका सबै कुरा तिमीले तिनीहरूको माध्यामद्वारा मकहाँ पठाउनू ।”
37 So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
त्यसैले अब्शालोम सहरभित्र आइपुगेर यरूशलेम प्रवेश गर्दा दाऊदका मित्र हूशै आए ।
