1 Samuel 13
शाऊलले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी तिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले इस्रालमाथि चालिस वर्ष राज्य गरेका थिए,
2 And Saul took for himself three thousand men of Israel, of whom he kept two thousand with him in Michmash and in the mountain of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: the rest of the people he sent back to their tents.
तिनले इस्राएलका तिन हजार जना मानिसहरूलाई चुने । दुई हजार जना मानिसहरू तिनीसँगै मिकमाशमा र बेथेलको पहाडी देशमा थिए, जबकि एक हजार जना मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनको गिबामा जोनाथनसँग थिए । सिपाहीहरूमध्ये बाँकीलाई तिनले आ-आफ्नो घरमा पठाए ।
3 And Jonathan made an attack on the armed force of the Philistines stationed at Gibeah; and news was given to the Philistines that the Hebrews were turned against them. And Saul had a horn sounded through all the land,
जोनातनले गिबामा भएको पलिश्तीहरूका चौकीलाई पराजित गरे र पलिश्तीहरूले यो सुने । तब शाऊलले “हिब्रूहरूले सुनून्” भन्दै देशभरि तुरही फुके ।
4 And all Israel had the news that Saul had made an attack on the Philistines, and that Israel was bitterly hated by the Philistines. And the people came together after Saul to Gilgal.
शऊलले पलिश्तीहरूका चौकीलाई हराए र अझै इस्राएल पलिश्तीहरूको निम्ति दुर्गन्ध बनेका थिए भन्ने सबै इस्राएलले सुने । तब गिलगालमा शऊलकहाँ आउन सबै सिपाहरूलाई बोलाइयो ।
5 And the Philistines came together to make war on Israel, three thousand war-carriages and six thousand horsemen and an army of people like the sands of the sea in number: they came up and took up their position in Michmash, to the east of Beth-aven.
पलिश्तीहरू तिन हजार रथहरू, छ हजार रथ हाँक्नेहरू र समुद्र किनारको बालुवा सरी असंख्या सेनाहरू लिएर इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्न एकसाथ भेला भए । तिनीहरू माथि आए र बेथ-आवनको पूर्वमा मिकमाशमा छाउनी हाले ।
6 When the men of Israel saw the danger they were in, (for the people were troubled, ) they took cover in cracks in the hillsides and in the woods and in rocks and holes and hollows.
जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आफूहरू कष्टमा परेको देखे, किनभने मानिसहरू व्याकुल थिए, मानिसहरू ओढारहरूतिर, झाडीहरूभित्र, चट्टानहरूमा, इनारहरूमा र खाल्डोहरूमा लुके ।
7 And a great number of the people had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but Saul was still in Gilgal, and all the people went after him shaking in fear.
केही हिब्रूहरू यर्दन पारि गाद र गिलादको भूभागतिर गए । तर शाऊल अझ पनि गिगालमा नै थिए र सबै मानिसहरू डरले काम्दै तिनको पछि लागे ।
8 And he went on waiting there for seven days, the time fixed by Samuel: but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were starting to go away from him.
तिनले शमूएलले तोकेका समय सात दिनसम्म पर्खे । तर शमूएल गिलगालमा आएनन् र मानिसहरू शाऊलदेखि तितरबितर भइरहेका थिए ।
9 Then Saul said, Come here and give me the burned offering and the peace-offerings. And he made a burned offering to the Lord.
शाऊलले भने, “मलाई होमबलि र मेलबलि ल्याओ ।” अनि तिनले होमबलि चढाए ।
10 And when the burned offering was ended, Samuel came; and Saul went out to see him and to give him a blessing.
तिनले होमबलि चढाउन सिद्ध्याउने बित्तिकै शमूएल आइपुगे । शाऊल तिनलाई भेट्न र अभिवादन गर्न निस्के ।
11 And Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were going away from me, and you had not come at the time which had been fixed, and the Philistines had come together at Michmash;
त्यसपछि शमूएलले भने, “तपाईंले यो के गर्नुभएको?” शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “जब मानिसहरूले मलाई छोडिरहेको मैले देखें र तोकिएको समयभित्र तपाईं आउनुभएन र पलिश्तीहरू मिकमाशमा भेला भएका थिए,
12 I said, Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal, and I have made no prayer for help to the Lord: and so, forcing myself to do it, I made a burned offering.
मैले भने, 'अब पलिश्तीहरू गिलगालमा मेरो विरुद्धमा आउनेछन् र मैले परमप्रभुको निगाह खोजेको छैन ।' त्यसैले होमबलि चढाउन मैले आफैलाई दवाव दिएँ ।”
13 And Samuel said to Saul, You have done a foolish thing: you have not kept the rules which the Lord your God gave you; it was the purpose of the Lord to make your authority over Israel safe for ever.
तब शमूएलले शाऊललाई भने, “तपाईंले मूर्खतापूर्वक काम गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको आज्ञा तपाईंले पालन गर्नुभएको छैन । त्यसो गरेको भए परमप्रभुले इस्राएलमाथि तपाईंको शासन सदाको निम्ति स्थापित गर्नुहुनेथियो ।
14 But now, your authority will not go on: the Lord, searching for a man who is pleasing to him in every way, has given him the place of ruler over his people, because you have not done what the Lord gave you orders to do.
तर अब तपाईंको शासनले निरन्तरता पाउनेछैन । परमप्रभुले आफ्नोजस्तो हृदय भएको एक जना मानिसको खोजी गर्नुभएको छ र परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका शासक हुन तिनलाई नियुक्त गर्नुभएको छ, किनभने उहाँले तपाईंलाई दिनुभएको आज्ञा तपाईंले पालन गर्नुभएको छैन ।”
15 Then Samuel went up from Gilgal and the rest of the people went up after Saul against the men of war, and they came from Gilgal to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: and Saul took the number of the people who were with him, about six hundred men.
तब शमूएल उठे र गिलगालबाट बेन्यामीनको गिबातिर गए । तब शाऊलले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूको गन्ती गरे, तिनीहरू झण्डै छ सय जना मानिसहरू थिए ।
16 And Saul, with Jonathan his son and the people who were with them, was waiting in Geba in the land of Benjamin: but the tents of the Philistines were in Michmash.
शाऊल, तिनको छोरा जोनाथन र तिनीहरूसँग भएका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनको गिबामा नै बसे । तर पलिश्तीहरूले मिकमाशमा छाउनी हाले ।
17 And three bands of men came out from the Philistines to make an attack; one band went by the road which goes to Ophrah, into the land of Shual:
पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीबाट लुट्ने तिन समूह आए । एउटा समूह शूआलको भूमि ओप्रातिर लागे ।
18 And another went in the direction of Beth-horon: and another went by the hill looking down on the valley of Zeboiim, in the direction of the waste land.
अर्को समूह बेथ-होरोनतिर गए र अर्को समूह उजाड-स्थानतिर सबोईंको बेंसी देखिने सिमानातिर लागे ।
19 Now there was no iron-worker in all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, For fear the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears:
इस्राएलभरि कुनै फलामको काम गर्ने मानिसहरू भेट्टाउन सकिंदैनथ्यौ, किनभने पलिश्तीहरूले भने, “नत्रता हिब्रूहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति भालाहरू र तरवारहरू बनाउँछन् ।”
20 But all the Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their ploughs and blades and axes and hooks made sharp;
तर इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना फाली, कोदालो, बन्चरो र हँसिया अर्जाप्न तल पलिश्तीहरूकहाँ जाने गर्थे ।
21 For they had instruments for putting an edge on their ploughs and blades and forks and axes, and for putting iron points on their ox-driving rods.
फाली र कोदालो अर्जाप्नको निम्ति दुई तिहाइ शेकेल अनि बन्चरो अर्जाप्नको र फाली अडाउने करुवा सोझ्याउन एक तीहाइ शेकेल ज्याला थियो ।
22 So on the day of the fight at Michmash, not a sword or a spear was to be seen in the hands of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan: only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
त्यसैले युद्धको दिनमा शाऊल र जोनाथनसँग भएका सिपाहरूका हातमा कुनै तरवार वा बाला थिएन । शाऊल र तिनका छोरा जोनाथनसँग मात्र ती थिए ।
23 And the armed force of the Philistines went out to the narrow way of Michmash.
पलिश्तीहरूको फौज मिकमाशको घाटीमा गयो ।
