< 2 Samuel 4 >
1 And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
जब शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले हेब्रोनमा अबनेरको मृत्यु भयो भनी सुने, तब तिनको हातहरू कमजोर भए र सारा इस्राएल पीडामा पर्यो ।
2 And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:
शाऊलका छोराका दुई जना मानिस थिए जो सिपाहरूका समूहहरूका कप्तानहरू थिए । एक जनाको नाउँ बानाह र अर्काको नाउँ रेकाब थियो, जो बेन्यामीनको मानिस बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू थिए (किनभने बेरोतलाई बेन्यामीनको हिस्सा ठानिन्छ,
3 But the people of Beeroth had gone in flight to Gittaim, where they have been living to this day.)
र बेरोतीहरू गित्तैममा भागेर गए र आजसम्म पनि तिनीहरू त्यहीं बसिरहेका छन् ।)
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were damaged. He was five years old when news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and the woman who took care of him took him up and went in flight: and while she was getting him away as quickly as she was able, he had a fall and his feet were damaged. His name was Mephibosheth.
शाऊलका छोरा जोनातनका एक जना छोरा थिए जसको खुट्टो लङ्गडो थियो । यिजरेलबाट शाऊल र जोनाथनको खबर आउँदा तिनी पाँच वर्षका थिए । भाग्नलाई तिनको धाईले तिनलाई बोकिन् । तर तिनी दौडँदै गर्दा, जोनाथनका छोरा खसे र लङ्गडो भए । तिनको नाउँ मेपीबोशेत थियो ।
5 And Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, went out and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, when he was resting in the middle of the day. Now the woman who kept the door was cleaning grain, and sleep overcame her.
त्यसैले बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रेकाब र बानाह दिनको चर्को घाममा ईश्बोशेतको घरतिर जान हिंडेर मध्यन्हमा आराम गरिरहँदा तिनको घरमा पुगे ।
6 And Rechab and his brother Baanah got in without being seen.
ढोकाको स्त्री पाले गहूँ ओसार्दै गर्दा मस्त निदाएकी थिइन् र रेकाब र बानाह बिस्तार हिंडे र तिनलाई पार गरेर गए ।
7 And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.
यसरी तिनीहरू घरभित्र पसेपछि, तिनी आफ्नो कोठाको ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहेको बेला तिनीहरूले तिनलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई मारे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तिनको टाउको काटे र बोकेर रातभरि अराबातिर जाने बाटो हिंडे ।
8 And they took the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul your hater, who would have taken your life; the Lord has taken payment for the wrongs of my lord the king from Saul and his seed today.
तिनीहरूले ईश्बोशेतको टाउको हेब्रोनमा दाऊदकहाँ ल्याए र तिनीहरूले राजालाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, यो तपाईंको जीवन लिन खोज्ने तपाईंको शत्रु शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतको टाउको हो । आज परमप्रभुले शाऊल र तिनका सन्तानहरूको विरुद्धमा हाम्रो मालिक राजाको बद्ला लिनुभएको छ ।”
9 And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,
दाऊदले बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रेकाब र बानाहलाई जावफ दिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मेरो जीवन हरेक कष्टबाट बचाउनुभयो,
10 When one came to me with the news of Saul's death, in the belief that it would be good news, I took him and put him to death in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news:
जब कसैले मलाई त्यसले शुभखबर ल्याउँदैछ भन्ने ठानी 'हेर्नुहोस्, शाऊल मरेको छ,' भन्यो, मैले त्यसलाई समातें र सिक्लगमा मारें । त्यसको खबरको निम्ति मैले त्यसलाई त्यो इनाम दिएँ ।
11 How much more, when evil men have put an upright person to death, in his house, sleeping on his bed, will I take payment from you for his blood, and have you cut off from the earth?
झन दुष्ट मानिसहरूले एक जना निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो घरमा आफ्नै ओछ्यानमा मार्दा, के मैले तिमीहरूको हातबाट त्यसको रगतको बदला लिएर तिमीहरूलाई पृथ्वीबाट नहटाउँ?”
12 And David gave orders to his young men and they put them to death, cutting off their hands and their feet and hanging them up by the side of the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and put it in its last resting-place with Abner's body in Hebron.
त्यसपछि दाऊदले जवान मानिसहरूलाई हुकुम गरे र उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई मारे अनि तिनीहरूका हातहरू र खुट्टाहरू काटेर हेब्रोनको तलाउनेर झुण्ड्याए । तर तिनीहरू ईश्बोशेतको टाउकोलाई लिए र त्यसलाई हेब्रोनमा अबनेरको चिहानमा गाडे ।
