2 Samuel 20
1 Now a worthless man named Sheba son of Bichri, a Benjamite, happened to be there, and he blew the ram’s horn and shouted: “We have no share in David, no inheritance in Jesse’s son. Every man to his tent, O Israel!”
त्यही ठाउँमा बेन्यामिनी बिक्रीको छोरो शेबा नाउँको एक जना समस्या उत्पन्न गराउने मानिस थियो । त्यसले तुरही फुक्यो र भन्यो, “दाऊदसँग हाम्रो कुनै हिस्सा छैन, न त यिशैको छोरासँग हाम्रो कुनै उत्तराधिकार नै छ । ए इस्राएल, हरेक मानिस आआफ्ना घर जाओ ।”
2 So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow Sheba son of Bichri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
त्यसैले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले दाऊदलाई छोडे र बिक्रीको छोरा शेबाको पछि लागे । तर यहूदाका मानिसहरू यर्दन देखि यरूशलेमसम्म नै आफ्ना राजाको पछिपछि गए ।
3 When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left to care for the palace, and he placed them in a house under guard. He provided for them, but he no longer slept with them. They were confined until the day of their death, living as widows.
जब दाऊद यरूशलेममा आफ्नो दरबारमा आए, तब उनले दरबारको हेरचाह गर्न छोडेका दश जना पत्नीलाई लिए र तिनले उनीहरूलाई पालेको अधीनमा एउटा घरमा राखे । उनले उनीहरूलाई चाहिने सबै कुरा जुटाइदिए, तर तिनी फेरि उनीहरूसँग सुतेनन् । त्यसैले उनीहरूको मृत्युको दिनसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई नजरबन्द गरियो, यसरी उनीहरू विधवाहरू भएझैं बसे ।
4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.”
त्यसपछि राजाले अमासालाई भने, “तीन दिनभित्र यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गर । तिमी पनि यहाँ हुनुपर्छ ।”
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he took longer than the time allotted him.
त्यसैले अमासा यहूदालाई बोलाउन गए तर तिनलाई राजाले तोकेको समयभन्दा तिनी ढिला भए ।
6 And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and elude us.”
त्यसैले दाऊदले अबीशैलाई भने, “अब बिक्रीका छोरा शेबाले हामीलाई अब्शालोमले भन्दा धेरै हानि गर्ने छ । तिम्रो मालिकका सेवकहरू, अर्थात् मेरा सिपाहरूलाई लिएर जाऊ र त्यसलाई खेद नत्र त्यसले किल्लाबन्दी गरेको सहर भेट्टाउने छ र हाम्रा नजरबाट उम्किने छ ।”
7 So Joab’s men, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, marched out of Jerusalem in pursuit of Sheba son of Bichri.
त्यसपछि योआबका मानिसहरू, करेतीहरू, पलेथीहरू र सबै वीर योद्धासँगै त्यसको पछिपछि गए । तिनीहरूले बिक्रीको छोरो शेबालाई खेदन यरूशलेमबाट विदा भए ।
8 And while they were at the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa joined them. Now Joab was dressed in military attire, with a dagger strapped to his belt. And as he stepped forward, he slipped the dagger from its sheath.
जब तिनीहरू गिबोनको ठुलो ढुङ्गामा थिए, तब अमासा तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न आए । योआबले हातियार सहितको जङ्गी पोशाक लगाएका थिए जसको कम्मरमा पेटी र त्यसमा दापमा छुरा हुन्थ्यो । जसै तिनी अगि बढे, छुरा खस्यो ।
9 “Are you well, my brother?” Joab asked Amasa. And with his right hand Joab grabbed Amasa by the beard to kiss him.
त्यसैले योआबले अमासालाई भने, “हे मेरो भाइ, तिमीलाई ठिकै छ?” योआबले अमासालाई चुम्बन गर्न दाह्रीमा समाते ।
10 Amasa was not on guard against the dagger in Joab’s hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach and spilled out his intestines on the ground. And Joab did not need to strike him again, for Amasa was dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
अमासाले योबको देब्रे हातमा भएको छुरालाई ख्यालै गरेनन् । योआबले अमासाको पेटमा रोपिदिए र तिनको आन्द्राभुँडी जमिनमा झर्यो । योआबले तिनलाई अर्को पटक प्रहार गरेनन् र अमासा मरे । यसरी योआब र तिनको भाइ अबीशैले बिक्रीका छोरो शेबालाई पछ्याउँदै गए ।
11 One of Joab’s young men stood near Amasa and said, “Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!”
योआबका मानिसमध्ये एक जना अमासाको छेउमा खडा भयो र त्यो मानिसले भन्यो, “त्यो जसले योआबको पक्ष लिन्छ र त्यो जो दाऊदको पक्षमा छ, त्यसले योआबलाई पछ्याओस् ।”
12 But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that all the troops were stopping there, he dragged the body off the road into a field and threw a garment over it.
अमासा बिच बाटोमा आफ्नै रगतमा यताउता पल्टिरहे । सबै मानिस चुपचाप खडा भएको त्यो मानिसले देखेपछि त्यसले अमासालाई घिसारेर बाटोदेखि बाहिर खेतमा लग्यो । त्यसले लासमाथि कपडाले छोपिदियो किनभने उसको छेउमा आउने हरेक मानिस खडा भएको त्यसले देख्यो ।
13 As soon as Amasa’s body was removed from the road, all the men went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
अमासालाई बाटोदेखि बाहिर लगेपछि बिक्रीको छोरो शेबालाई खेद्न सबै मानिसले योआबलाई पछ्याए ।
14 Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel-beth-maacah and through the entire region of the Berites, who gathered together and followed him.
शेबा इस्राएलका सबै कुल हुँदै गएर बेथ-माकाको हबिलमा पुग्यो र बरीहरूका सारा देशबाट भएर गयो जो एकसाथ भेला भए र शेबाको पछि लागे ।
15 And Joab’s troops came and besieged Sheba in Abel-beth-maacah and built a siege ramp against the outer rampart of the city. As all the troops with Joab were battering the wall to topple it,
तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बेथ-माकाको हाबिलमा भेट्टाए र घेराबन्दी गरे । तिनीहरूले सहरको विरुद्ध एउटा घेरा-मचान बनाए । योआबसँग भएका सबै फौजले पर्खाललाई ढाल्नलाई त्यसमा हिर्काउन लागे ।
16 a wise woman called out from the city, “Listen! Listen! Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak with him.”
त्यसपछि एक जना बुद्धिमान स्त्रीले सहरबाट कराएर भनिन्, “ए योआब, सुन्नुहोस्, कृपया सुन्नुहोस्! मेरो नजिक आउनुहोस् र म तपाईंसँग कुरा गर्न सक्छु ।”
17 When he had come near to her, the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” “I am,” he replied. “Listen to the words of your servant,” she said. “I am listening,” he answered.
त्यसैले योआब तिनको नजिक गए र ती स्त्रीले भनिन्, “के तपाईं योआब हुनुहुन्छ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म हुँ ।” तब तिनलाई उनले भनिन्, “तपाईंकी दासीको कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म सुन्दै छु ।”
18 Then the woman said, “Long ago they used to say, ‘Seek counsel at Abel,’ and that is how disputes were settled.
तब उनले भनिन्, “प्राचीन समयमा तिनीहरू भन्ने गर्थे, 'निश्चय हबिलमा सल्लाह लिन जाऊ,' र त्यो सल्लाहले कुरा मिल्थ्यो ।
19 I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel, but you are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
इस्राएलको सबभन्दा शान्तिपूर्ण र विश्वासयोग्य हाम्रै सहर हो । तपाईंले इस्राएलको आमा सहरलाई नाश गर्न खोज्दै हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले परमप्रभुको उत्तराधिकारलाई किन निल्न चाहनुहुन्छ?
20 “Far be it!” Joab declared. “Far be it from me to swallow up or destroy!
त्यसैले योआबले जवाफ दिए र भने, “मैले सहर निल्ने वा नाश गर्ने कुरा मबाट दूर रहोस् ।
21 That is not the case. But a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him alone, and I will depart from the city.” “Look,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
त्यो सत्य होइन । तर बिक्रीको छोरा शेबा नाउँ गरेका एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको एक जना मानिसले दाऊद राजाको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो हात उठाएको छ । त्यसलाई मकहाँ सुम्पिदिनुहोस् र म सहरबाट पछि हट्ने छु ।” ती स्त्रीले योआबलाई भनिन्, “त्यसको टाउको पर्खालबाट बाहिर तपाईंकहाँ फालिने छ ।”
22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn and his men dispersed from the city, each to his own home. And Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
त्यसपछि ती स्त्री आफ्नो बुद्धिमा सबै मानिसकहाँ गइन् । तिनीहरूले बिक्रीका छोरा शेबाको टाउको काटे र त्यो बाहिर योआबकहाँ फालिदिए । तब योआबले तुरही फुके र तिनका मानिसहरूले सहर छोडेर हरेक मानिस आआफ्नो घर गए । अनि योआबचाहिं यरूशलेममा राजाकहाँ फर्के ।
23 Now Joab was over the whole army of Israel; Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites;
अब योआबचाहिं इस्राएलका सबै फौजका कमाण्डर थिए, र यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह करेतीहरू र पलेथीहरूका अधिकृत थिए ।
24 Adoram was in charge of the forced labor; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
अदोनीरामचाहिं ज्यालाबिना काम गर्नेहरूका अधिकृत थिए र अहीलूदका छोरा यहोशापात लेखापाल थिए ।
25 Sheva was the scribe; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
शेभा शास्त्री र सादोक तथा अबियाथार पुजारीहरू थिए ।
26 and Ira the Jairite was David’s priest.
याईरी ईरा दाऊदका मुख्य सेवक थिए ।
