< 1 Samuel 30 >

1 Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;
जब दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू तेस्रो दिनमा सिक्लगमा आए, अमालेकीहरूले नेगेव र सिक्लगलाई लूटेका थिए । तिनीहरूले सिग्‍लगलाई आक्रमण गरे र त्‍यसलाई आगोले लगाए,
2 And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.
र यसमा भएका स्‍त्रीहरू र साना-ठुला हरेकलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले कसैलाई पनि मारेनन्, तर तिनीहरू आफ्नो बाटो जाँदा तिनीहरूलाई लिएर गए ।
3 And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.
जब दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू त्यो सहरमा आए, यसलाई जलाइएको थियो र तिनीहरूका पत्‍नीहरू, छोराहरू र छोरीहरूलाई कैदीको रूपमा लगिएका थियो ।
4 Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.
जब दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरू डाँको छोडेर तिनीहरूमा रुने शक्ति नै नभएसम्म रोए ।
5 And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.
दाऊदका दुवै पत्‍नीहरू यिजरेली अहीनोम र कार्मेली नाबालकी पत्‍नी अबीगेललाई कैदीको रूपमा लगिएका थियो ।
6 And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.
दाऊद साह्रै व्याकु भए, किनभने मानिसहरूले तिनलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्‍ने कुरा गरिरहेका थिए, किनकि सबै मानिसहरूको मन आ-आफ्नो छोराहरू र छोरीहरूका निम्ति तितो भएको थियो । तर दाऊदले परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरमा आफूलाई शक्तिशाली बनाए ।
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.
दाऊदले पुजारी अहीमेलेकका छोरा अबीयाथारलाई भने, “बिन्ती छ, यहाँ मकहाँ एपोद ल्याऊ ।” अबीयाथारले दाऊदकहाँ एपोद ल्याए ।
8 Then David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go after this band? will I be able to overtake them? And in answer he said, Go after them, for you will certainly overtake them, and get back everything.
दाऊदले निर्देशनको निम्ति परमप्रभुसँग यसरी प्रार्थना गरे, “के मैले यो फौजको पिछा गरे भने, म तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टाउन सक्‍छु?” परमप्रभुले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “खेदेर जा, किनकि तैंले तिनीहरूलाई निश्‍चय नै भेट्टाउनेछस् र तैंले निश्‍चय नै सबै थोक छुटाउनेछस् ।”
9 So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.
त्यसैले दाऊद, आफू र आफूसँग भएका छ सय जना मानिस लिएर गए । तिनीहरू बसोरको खोल्सामा आए, जहाँ छोडिएकाहरू बसेका थिए ।
10 And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.
तर दाऊदले आफू र आफूसँग भएका चार सय जान मानिसले पिछा गरिरहे, किनकि दुई सय जना पछाडी नै बसे, जो यति धेरै थाकेका थिए, कि तिनीहरू बसोर खोल्सा पारि जान सकेनन् ।
11 And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;
तिनीहरूले एक जना मिश्रीलाई खेतमा भेट्टाए र उसलाई दाऊदकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले उसलाई रोटी दिए र उसले खायो । तिनीहरूले उसलाई पानी पिउन दिए ।
12 And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.
र तिनीहरूले उसलाई एक डल्लो नेभारा र दुई झुप्पा किशमिश दिए । जब उसले ती खाइसक्‍यो, उसले फेरि शक्ति पायो, किनकि उसले तिन दिन र तिन रातदेखि रोटी खाएको वा पानी पिएको थिएन ।
13 And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.
दाऊदले उसलाई सोधे, “तिमी को हौ? तिमी कहाँबाट आएका हौ?” उसले भन्‍यो, “म मिश्रको एक जना जवान मानिस, अमालेकीको सेवक हुँ । मेरो मालिकले मलाई छोडे, किनभने तिन दिनअघि म बिरामी भएँ ।
14 We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.
हामीले करेतीहरूको नेगेव, यहूदाको भाग, कालेबको नेगेवलाई लूट्यौं र सिग्लगमा आगो लगायौं ।”
15 And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.
दाऊदले उसलाई भने, “के तिमीले मलाई यो लूटपाट गर्ने समूहकहाँ लैजान सक्छौ?” त्‍यो मिश्रीले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई मार्नुहुन्‍न वा मलाई मेरो मालिकको हातमा सुम्‍पनुहुन्‍न भनी परमेश्‍वरको नाउँमा शपथ खानुहोस् र म तपाईंलाई यो लूटपाट गर्ने समूहकहाँ लानेछु ।”
16 And when he had taken him down, they saw them all, seated about on all sides, feasting and drinking among all the mass of goods which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
जब त्‍यो मिश्रीले दाऊदलाई तल ल्याए, तब लूटपाट गर्नेहरू मैदानभरि छरिएर तिनीहरूले पलिश्‍तीहरूको देश र यहूदाको देशबाट लिएका सबै लूटका मालको कारणले खाँदै, पिउँदै र नाच्दै थिए ।
17 And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.
दाऊदले तिनीहरूलाई बिहान सबैरैदेखि अर्को दिनको साँझसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे । ऊँटमा चढेर भागेका चार सय जना जवान मानिसबाहेक एक जना पनि उम्केनन् ।
18 And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.
अमालेकीहरूले लगेका सबै थोक दाऊदले पुनः प्राप्‍त गरे । अनि दाऊदले आफ्‍नी दुई जना पत्‍नीलाई पनि छुटाए ।
19 There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back.
कुनै पनि कुरा पनि गुमेनन्, न साना न त ठुला, न छोराहरू न त छोरीहरू, न त लूटपाट गर्नेहरूले कब्जा गरेका कुनै कुरा नै गुम्‍यो । दाऊदले हरेक कुरा फिर्ता ल्याए ।
20 And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.
दाऊदले सबै बेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु ल्याए, जसलाई मानिसहरूले अरू गाइवस्तुको अगि धपाए । तिनीहरूले भने, “यो दाऊदको लूटको माल हो ।”
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?
दाऊदको पछि जानलाई साह्रै कमजोर भएका दुई सय जना मानिसकहाँ तिनी आए, जसलाई अरूले बसोरको खोल्सामा नै बस्‍न लगाएका थिए । दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानसिहरूलाई भेट्न यी मानिसहरू अगाडि गए । जब दाऊद यी मानिसकहाँ आए, तब तिनले उनीहरूलाई अभिवादन गरे ।
22 Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.
तब दाऊदसँग गएका सबै दुष्‍ट र वेकामका मानिसले भने, “यी मानिसहरू हामीसँग नगएका हुनाले हामीले फिर्ता ल्‍याएका कुनै पनि लूटका मालहरू हामी तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछैनौं । हरेक मानिसले आफ्ना पत्‍नी र छोराछोरी लिन र तिनीहरूलाई लिएर जान सक्छ ।”
23 Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.
तब दाऊदले भने, “मेरा भाइ हो, परमप्रभुले हामीलाई दिनुभएको कुरामा तिमीहरूले यस्‍तो व्‍यवहार गर्नुहुँदैन । उहाँले हाम्रो सुरक्षा गर्नुभएको छ र हाम्रो विरुद्धमा आउने लूटपाट गर्नेहरूलाई हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पनुभएको छ ।
24 Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.
तिमीहरूको यो कुरा कसले सुन्‍नेछ? किनभने युद्धमा जानेहरूको हिस्‍सा जत्ति हुन्छ सामानहरू कुर्नेहरूको हिस्‍सा पनि त्‍यत्ति नै हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले बाँड्‍नेछन् अनि बराबर बाँड्‍नेछन् ।”
25 And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.
त्यस दिनदेखि आजको दिनसम्म यस्तै चलन छ, किनभने दाऊदले यसलाई इस्राएलको निम्ति नियम र आदेश नै बनाए ।
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;
जब दाऊद सिक्लगमा आए, तिनले आफ्‍ना मित्रहरू अर्थात् यहूदाका धर्म-गुरुहरुलाई केही लूटका मालहरू पठाएर भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुका शत्रहरूबाट लिइएका लुटका मालबाट तपाईंहरूका निम्‍ति उपहार यहाँ छ ।”
27 He sent to those who were in Beth-el, and in Ramah of the South, and in Jattir;
तिनले बेथेलमा भएका, दक्षिणको रामोतमा, यत्तीरमा भएकाहरू,
28 And to those in Arara and Eshtemoa
र अरोएरमा भएका, सिपमोतमा भएका, एश्तामिमा भएका धर्म-गुरुहरुलाई केही पठाए ।
29 and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;
तिनले केही कुरा राकालमा भएका, यरहमेलीहरूका सहरहरूमा भएका, केनीहरूका सहरमा भएका,
30 And to those who were in Hormah and in Bor-ashan and in Athach;
होर्मामा भएका, बोर-आशानमा भएका, अत्ताकमा भएका,
31 And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.
र हेब्रोनमा भएका र दाऊद आफै र आफ्‍ना मानिसहरू सधैं जाने गरेका सबै ठाउँतिर पनि केही पठाए ।
