< 2 Samuel 5 >
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
त्यसपछि सबै इस्राएल हेब्रोनमा दाऊदकहाँ आए र भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, हामी तपाईंकै मासु र हड्डी हौं ।
2 Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
केही समयअगि जब शाऊल हामीमाथि राजा थिए, तब तपाईंले नै इस्राएलको फौजको नेतृत्व गर्नुभयो । परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तैंले नै मेरा इस्राएल इस्राएलको गोठालो गर्ने छस् र तँ नै इस्राएलमाथि शासक हुने छस्' ।”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.
त्यसैले इस्राएलका सबै धर्म-गुरुहरू राजाकहाँ हेब्रोनमा आए र राजा दाऊदले परमप्रभुको सामु तिनीहरूसँग करार गरे । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरे ।
4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.
दाऊदले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी तिस वर्षका थिए र तिनले चालिस वर्षसम्म राज्य गरे ।
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
तिनले हेब्रोनमा सात वर्ष छ महिना राज्य गरे र सबै इस्राएल र यहूदामा तेत्तीस वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
6 Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”
राजा र तिनका मानिसहरू त्यस ठाउँका बासिन्दाहरू अर्थात् यरूशलेमका यबूसीहरूका विरुद्ध लड्न गए । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “तपाईं यहाँ आउनुभयो भने, अन्धा र लङ्गडाले नै फर्काइदिने छन्। दाऊद यहाँ आउन सक्दैन ।”
7 Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
तापनि, दाऊदले सियोनका किल्ला कब्जा गरे, जुन अहिले दाऊदको सहर हो ।
8 On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”
त्यति नै बेला दाऊदले भने, “यबूसीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेहरूले 'लङ्गडा र अन्धाकहाँ’ पुग्न पानीको नालीबाट जाने छ जो दाऊदका शत्रुहरू हुन् ।” यसैले मानिसहरूले भन्छन्, “'अन्धा र लङ्गडाहरू' दरबारमा प्रवेश गर्नुहुँदैन ।”
9 So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.
त्यसैले दाऊद त्यो किल्लामा बसे र यसलाई दाऊदको सहर भनियो । तिनले यसलाई गाराहरूदेखि भित्रसम्म नै किल्लाबन्दी गरे ।
10 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of Hosts was with him.
दाऊद धेरै शक्तिशाली भए किनभने परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर तिनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
11 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
त्यसपछि टुरोसका राजा हीरामले दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए अनि देवदारुका काठहरू, डकर्मीहरू र सिकर्मीहरूलाई पनि पठाए । तिनीहरूले दाऊदको निम्ति महल बनाए ।
12 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
परमप्रभुले आफूलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजाको रूपमा स्थापित गर्नुभएको थियो भनी दाऊदले जान्दथे र उहाँले आफ्ना मानिस इस्राएलको खातिर तिनको राज्यलाई उच्च पार्नुभएको थियो ।
13 After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
दाऊदले हेब्रोन छोडे र यरूशलेममा आए, त्यसपछि तिनले यरूशलेममा अरू धेरै उपपत्नीहरू र पत्नीहरू ल्याए र तिनका अरू धेरै छोराहरू र छोरीहरू जन्मे ।
14 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
यरूशलेममा जन्मेका तिनका छोराछोरीका नाउँ यीनै थिएः शम्मूअ, शोबाब, नातान, सोलोमन,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
यिभार, इलीशूअ, नेपेग, यापी,
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
एलीशामा, एल्यादा र एलीपेलेत ।
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.
अब दाऊदलाई इस्राएलको राजा अभिषेक गरिएको छ भनेर जब पलिश्तीहरूले सुने, तब तिनीहरू सबै तिनलाई खोज्न गए । तर दाऊदले यो सुने र तल किल्लामा गए ।
18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
पलिश्तीहरू आएका थिए र रपाईको बेसीमा छरिएका थिए ।
19 So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
त्यसपछि दाऊदले परमप्रभुसँग सहायता मागे । तिनले भने, “के म पलिश्तीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरूँ? के तपाईंले मलाई तिनीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुहुन्छ?” पमरप्रभुले दाऊदलाई भन्नुभयो, “आक्रमण गर्, किनभने म निश्चय नै तँलाई पलिश्तीहरूमाथि विजय गराउने छु ।”
20 So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.
त्यसैले दाऊदले बाल-पराजीमा आक्रमण गरे र त्यहाँ तिनले तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु विष्फोट हुने पानीको बाढीझैं मेरो सामु मेरा शत्रुहरूका विरुद्ध विष्फोट हुनुभएको छ ।” त्यसैले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ बाल-पराजीम भयो ।
21 There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away.
पलिश्तीहरूले त्यहाँ आफ्ना मूर्तीहरू छोडिराखे अनि दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूले ती लिएर गए ।
22 Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरू फेरि माथि आए र फेरि एक पटक रपाईो बेसीमा फैलिएर बसे ।
23 So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
त्यसैले दाऊदले फेरि पनि परमप्रभुसँग सहायता मागे र पमरप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैंले तिनीहरूलाई अडागिबाट आक्रमण गर्नु हुँदैन, तर तिनीहरूको पछिल्तिरबाट फन्को मारेर लहरे-पिपलको जङ्गलभएर तिनीहरूमाथि जाइलाग ।
24 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
जब तैंले लहरे-पिपलको टुप्पाहरूमा हावा लाग्दा आउने परेडको आवाज सुन्छस्, तब फौजका साथमा आक्रमण गर् । यसो गर् किनभने तैंले पलिश्तीहरू आक्रमण गर्नुअगि परमप्रभु जानुभएको हुनुहुने छ ।”
25 So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
त्यसैले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैं दाऊदले गरे । तिनले पलिश्तीहरूलाई गिबिनदेखि गेजेरतिर जाने बाटोसम्म नै मारे ।
