2 Samuel 12
1 And the Lord sent Nathan to David. And Nathan came to him and said, There were two men in the same town: one a man of great wealth, and the other a poor man.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले नातानलाई दाऊदकहाँ पठाउनुभयो । उनी तिनीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “कुनै सहरमा दुई जना मानिस बस्थे । एक जना धनी थिए र अर्कोचाहिं गरीब थिए ।
2 The man of wealth had great numbers of flocks and herds;
धनी मानिसको ठुलो संख्यामा भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु थिए,
3 But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.
तर त्यो गरीब मानिससित भेडको एउटा पाठीबाहेक केही पनि थिएन, जसलाई त्यसले किनेर ल्याएको, र खुवाएर हुर्काएको थियो । त्यो उसँग र उसका छोराछोरीसँगै हुर्क्यो । यो पाठीले उसँगै खान्थ्यो, उसैको कचौराबाट पिउँथ्यो, र उसकै काखमा सुत्थ्यो र उसको छोरीजस्तै थियो ।
4 Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.
एक दिन त्यो धनी मानिसको घरमा एक जना पाहुना आए, तर तिनलाई खाना दिन त्यो धनी मानिसले आफ्नो भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु एउटा पशु लिन पनि इच्छुक भएन । बरु, त्यसले त्यो गरीब मानिसको भेडाको पाठी लियो र त्यो आफ्नो पाहुनाको निम्ति पकाइदियो ।”
5 And David was full of wrath against that man; and he said to Nathan, By the living Lord, death is the right punishment for the man who has done this:
दाऊद त्यो धनी मानिसप्रति रिसले आगो भए र नातानसँग जङ्गिए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसले यसो गर्यो त्यो मारिन योग्य छ ।
6 And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.
त्यो पाठीको चार गुणा त्यसले फिर्ता गर्नुपर्छ किनभने त्यसले यस्तो दुष्ट कुरा गरेको छ र त्यसले गरीब मानिसमाथ कुनै दया देखाएन ।”
7 And Nathan said to David, You are that man. The Lord God of Israel says, I made you king over Israel, putting holy oil on you, and I kept you safe from the hands of Saul;
त्यसपछि नातानले दाऊदलाई भने, “त्यो मानिस तपाईं नै हो! परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले तँलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरें र मैले तँलाई शाऊलको हातबाट बचाएँ ।
8 I gave you your master's daughter and your master's wives for yourself, and I gave you the daughters of Israel and Judah; and if that had not been enough, I would have given you such and such things.
मैले तँलाई तेरो मालिकको घराना र तेरो मालिकका पत्नीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा दिएँ । मैले तँलाई इस्राएल र यहूदाको घराना पनि दिएँ । तर त्यसले नपुगेको भए, मैले तँलाई यसको अतिरिक्त अरू धेरै कुरा दिने थिएँ ।
9 Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.
त्यसैले तैंले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ त्यही गरेर उहाँको आज्ञालाई किन तुच्छ ठानिस्? तैंले हित्ती उरियाहलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरिस् र त्यसको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नै पत्नी हुनलाई लगेको छस् । तैंले अम्मोनको फौजको तरवारले त्यसलाई मारिस् ।
10 So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
त्यसैले अब तरवारले तेरो घरानालाई कहिल्यै छोड्ने छैन, किनभने तैंले मलाई घृणा गरेको छस् र हित्ती उरियाहको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नो पत्नीको रूपमा लिएको छस् ।'
11 The Lord says, From those of your family I will send evil against you, and before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to your neighbour, and he will take your wives to his bed by the light of this sun.
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म तेरो आफ्नै घरानाबाट विपद् ल्याउने छु । तेरै आफ्नै आँखाको सामु तेरा पत्नीहरूलाई म लिने छु र ती तेरो छिमेकीलाई दिने छु, र दिनको उज्यालोमा त्यो तेरा पत्नीहरूसित सुत्ने छ ।
12 You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.
किनकि तैंले आफ्नो पाप गोप्य रूपमा गरिस्, तर म यो सारा इस्राएलको सामु घामको उज्यालोमा गर्ने छु’ ।”
13 And David said to Nathan, Great is my sin against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord has put away your sin; death will not come on you.
तब दाऊदले नातानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु ।” नातानले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंको पापलाई हटाइदिनुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई मारिने छैन ।
14 But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.
तापनि, यो कामद्वारा तपाईंले परमप्रभुलाई तुच्छ तुल्याउनुभएको हुनाले, तपाईंबाट जन्मने बालकचाहिं निश्चय नै मार्ने छ ।”
15 Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.
त्यसपछि नातान विदा भए र घर गए । उरियाहको पत्नीले दाऊदबाट जन्माएको बालकलाई परमप्रभुले प्रहार गर्नुभयो र त्यो गम्भीर बिरामी भयो ।
16 So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.
दाऊदले त्यो केटाको निम्ति परमप्रभुसँग बिन्ती गरे । दाऊद उपवास बसे र भित्र गए र रातभरि भुईंमा पल्टिरहे ।
17 And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them.
तिनका घरानाका ठुलाहरू उठे र तिनलाई भुईंबाट उठाउन तिनको छेउमा खडा भए, तर तिनी उठेनन् र तिनले तिनीहरूसँग केही पनि खाएनन् ।
18 And then on the seventh day the child's death took place. And David's servants were in fear of giving him the news of the child's death: for they said, Truly, while the child was still living he gave no attention when we said anything to him: what will he do to himself if we give him word that the child is dead?
सातौं दिनमा त्यो बालक मर्यो । त्यो बालक मर्यो भनेर दाऊदका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भन्न डराए, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, त्यो बालक जीवितै हुँदा हामीले उहँसित बोल्यौं र उहाँले हाम्रा कुरा सुन्नुभएन । हामीले त्यो बालक मर्यो भन्यौं भने, उहाँले आफूलाई के गर्नुहोला?”
19 But when David saw that his servants were talking together quietly, he was certain that the child was dead: and he said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is.
तर जब दाऊदले आफ्ना सेवकहरूले आपसमा कानेखुसी गरिरहेको देखे, तब बालक मरेछ भनी दाऊदले थाहा पाए । तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “के त्यो बालक मर्यो?” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “त्यो मर्यो ।”
20 Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.
तब दाऊद भुईंबाट उठे र आफू नुहाए, आफूलाई तेल घसे र आफ्ना लुगा फेरे । तिनी परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानमा गए र त्यहाँ आराधना गरे र त्यसपछि आफ्नो दरबारमा फर्केर आए । तिनले खाने कुराहरू मागेपछि, तिनीहरूले खाने कुरा दिए र तिनले खाए ।
21 Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.
तब तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंले किन यसो गर्नुभएको छ? त्यो बालक जिउँदो हुँदा तपाईं उपवास बस्नुभयो र रुनुभयो, तर जब बालक मर्यो, तब तपाईं उठ्नुभयो र खानुभयो ।”
22 And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?
दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “बालक जीवित हुँदा म उपवास बसें र रोएँ । मैले भनें, 'कसले जान्दछ कतै परमप्रभु अनुग्रही हुनुहुने छ ताकि बालक बाँच्न सकोस्?'
23 But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.
तर अब त्यो मर्यो, त्यसैले म किन उपवास बस्ने? के म त्यसलाई फेरि फर्काएर ल्याउन सक्छु र? म त्यसकहाँ जाने छु, तर त्यो मकहाँ फर्केर आउने छैन ।”
24 And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.
दाऊदले आफ्नी पत्नी बतशेबालाई सान्त्वना दिए र उनकहाँ गए र उनीसँग सुते । पछि उनले एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् र त्यो बालककको नाउँ सोलोमन राखियो । परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो
25 And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord.
र तिनको नाउँ यददीयाह राख्नू भनी उहाँले नातान अगमवक्ताद्वारा सन्देश पठाउनुभयो, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो ।
26 Now Joab was fighting against Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon, and he took the water-town.
यति बेला योआबले अम्मोनीहरूको रब्बाको विरुद्ध युद्ध गरे र तिनले राजकीय सहर कब्जा गरे ।
27 And Joab sent men to David, saying, I have made war against Rabbah and have taken the water-town.
त्यसैले योआबले दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए र भने, “मैले रब्बाको विरुद्धमा युद्ध लडेको छु र मैले सहरको पानीको आपुर्तीलाई कब्जा गरेको छु ।
28 So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.
यसकारण बाँकी फौजलाई भेला गर्नुहोस् र यो सहर विरुद्ध छआउनी हाल्नुहोस् र यसलाई कब्जा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि मैले त्यो सहर लिएँ भने, त्यसलाई मेरो नाउँ दिइने छ ।
29 Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it.
त्यसैले दाऊदले सबै फौजलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे र रब्बातिर गए । तिनले त्यो सहरको विरुद्ध युद्ध लडे र त्यो कब्जा गरे ।
30 And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town.
दाऊदले तिनीहरूका राजाको शिरबाट शिरपेच लिए, यसको तौल एक तोडा सुन थियो, र त्यसमा बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू थिए । त्यो शिरपेच दाऊदको आफ्नै शिरमा लगाइयो । त्यसपछि तिनले त्यस सहरको लुटका मालहरू ठुलो मात्रामा लिएर आए ।
31 And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.
तिनले त्यस सहरमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई लिएर आए, र तिनीहरूलाई आराहरू, फलामको हतियारको र बन्चरोको कामहरू गर्न बाध्य पारे । तिनले उनीहरूलाई इँटको भट्टाहरूमा काम गर्न लगाए । दाऊदले अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका सबै सहरलाई यो श्रमको काम गर्न लगाए । तब दाऊद र सबै फौज यरूशलेम फर्के ।
