1 Samuel 24
1 Now when Saul came back from fighting the Philistines, news was given him that David was in the waste land of En-gedi.
जब पलिश्तीहरूलाई लखेटेर शाऊल फर्के, तब तिनलाई भनियो, “दाऊद एन-गदीको उजाड-स्थानमा छन् ।”
2 Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.
त्यसपछि शाऊलले सबै इस्राएलबाट तिन हजार मानिसहरू छानेर लिए र दाऊद अनि तिनका मानिसहरूलाई खोज्न घोरलको चट्टानमा गए ।
3 And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.
तिनी बाटोमा भेडा-गोठहरूमा आए जहाँ एउटा गुफा थियो । शाऊल दिसा गर्न भित्र गए । दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू गुफाको पल्लो कुनामा बसिरहेका थिए ।
4 And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.
दाऊदका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तैंले जे चाहन्छस् सो गर्न, म तेरो शत्रुलाई तेरो हातमा सुम्पने छु' भनी परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई भन्नुभएको दिन यही हो ।” अनि दऊद उठे र बिस्तारै अगि बढे र शाऊलको वस्त्रको छेउ काटे ।
5 And later, David was full of regret for cutting off Saul's skirt.
पछि दाऊदको हृदयमा कष्ट भयो किनभने तिनले शाऊलको वस्त्रको छेउ काटेका थिए ।
6 And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.
तिनले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त जन, उहाँ परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त जन भनी देखेर पनि उहाँको विरुद्धमा मैले हात उठाउने कुरालाई परमप्रभुले नै रोक्नुभएको होस् ।”
7 So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.
त्यसैले दाऊदले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई यी कुराहरू भनेर हप्काए र शाऊललाई आक्रमण गर्न तिनीहरूलाई अनुमति दिएनन् । शाऊल उठे, गुफाबाट बाहिर निस्के र आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
8 And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.
पछि दाऊद पनि उठे, गुफा बाहिर गए र शाऊललाई कराएर भनेः “हे मेरो मालिक महाराजा ।” जब शाऊलले पछाडी फर्केर हेरे, दाऊद भुइँमा घोप्टो परे र उनलाई आदर गरे ।
9 And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?
दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “'हेर्नुहोस्, दाऊदले तपाइंको हानि गर्न खोज्दैछ' भन्ने मानिसहरूको कुरा तपाईंले किन सुन्नुहुन्छ?
10 Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.
तपाईं गुफामा हुनुहुँदा परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई मेरो हातमा सुम्पनुभएको कुरा आज तपाईंले आफ्नै आँखाले देख्नुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई मार्न कसैले मलाई भने, तर मैले तपाईंलाई बचाएँ । मैले भने, 'म मेरो मालिकको विरुद्धमा हात उठाउँदिनँ । किनकि उहाँ परमप्रभुको अभिषिक्त जन हुनुहुन्छ ।'
11 And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.
हेर्नुहोस् हे मेरा पिता, तपाईंको वस्त्रको छेउ मेरो हातमा हेर्नुहोस् । तपाईंको वस्त्रको छेउ मैले काटेको र मैले तपाईंलाई नमारेको कुराले, मेरो हातमा कुनै खराबी वा देशद्रोह छैन, र मैले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छैन, तापनि तपाईंले मेरो ज्यान लिन खोज्नुहुन्छ ।
12 May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
तपाईं र मेरो बिचमा परमप्रभुले नै न्याय गर्नुभएको होस् र तपाईंको विरुद्धमा म भए परमप्रभुले नै बद्ला लिनुभएको होस्, तर मेरो हात तपाईंको विरुद्ध हुनेछैन ।
13 There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
जस्तो पुरानो उखान छ, 'दुष्टबाट नै दुष्टता निस्कन्छ ।' तर मेरा हात तपाईंको विरुद्धमा हुनेछैन ।
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect.
इस्राएलका राजा कसको पछि आएका छन्? कसलाई तपाईंले खेद्दै हुनुहुन्छ? एउटा मरेको कुकुरलाई होइन र! एउटा उपियाँलाई होइन र!
15 So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.
परमप्रभु नै न्यायकर्ता हुनुभएको होस् र तपाईं र मेरो बिचमा फैसला गर्नुभएको होस्, र यो हेर्नुभएको होस्, मेरो पक्षमा वहस गर्नुभएको होस् र तपाईंको हातबाट उम्कन मलाई अनुमति दिनुभएको होस् ।
16 Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.
जब दाऊदले यी कुराहरू शाऊललाई भनिसकेका थिए, तब शाऊलले भने, “मेरो छोरा दाऊद, के यो तिम्रो सोर हो?” शाऊलले डाँको छोडेर रोए ।
17 And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.
तिनले दाऊदलाई भने, “मभन्दा तिमी धेरै धर्मी रहेछौ । किनकि तिमीले मलाई असल कुराले बदला लिएका छौ भने, मैले तिमीलाई खराब कुराले बदला लिएको छु ।
18 And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.
तिमीले मप्रति कति असल गरेका छौ भनी तिमीले आज घोषणा गरेका छौ, किनकि परमप्रभुले मलाई तिम्रो कृपामा छोड्नुहुँदा पनि तिमीले मलाई मारेनौ ।
19 If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today.
किनकि कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो शत्रुलाई भेट्टायो भने, के त्यसलाई उसले सुरक्षित साथ जान दिनेछ र? तिमीले आज मेरो निम्ति जे गरेका छौ त्यसको निम्ति परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई असल इनाम दिनुभएको होस् ।
20 And now I am certain that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be made strong under your authority.
अब मलाई थाहा भयो कि तिमी साँच्चै नै राजा हुनेछौ र इस्राएलको राज्य तिम्रै हातमा स्थापित हुनेछ ।
21 So give me your oath by the Lord, that you will not put an end to my seed after me or let my name be cut off from my father's family.
तिमीले मपछिका मेरा सन्तानहरूलाई खत्तम पार्नेछैनौ र मेरो पिताको घरानाबाट मेरो नाउँ नाश पार्नेछैनौ भनी मसँग परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाऊ ।
22 And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place.
त्यसैले दाऊदले शाऊलसित शपथ खाए । अनि शाऊल घर गए, तर दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू माथि किल्लामा गए ।
