Kings II 3
1 And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
अब शाऊलका घराना र दाऊदका घरानाका बिच लामो समयसम्म युद्ध भइरह्यो । दाऊद झन्-झन् बलियो हुँदै गए, तर शाऊलको घराना झन्-झन् कमजोर हुँदै गयो ।
2 And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his first-born was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.
हेब्रोनमा दाऊदका छोराहरू जन्मे । तिनका जेठा छोरा यिजरेली अहीनोमबाट जन्मेका अमनोन थिए ।
3 And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
तिनका महिला छोरा नाबबालकी विधवा कर्मेली अबीगेलबाट जन्मेका किलाब थिए । साहिंला छोरा अब्शालोम, जो गशूरका राजा तल्मैकी छोरी माकाका छोरा थिए ।
4 And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.
दाऊदका कहिंलो छोरा अदोनियाहचाहिं हग्गीतका छोरा थिए । तिनका ठाहिंला छोरा शपत्याहचाहिं अबीतलका छोरा थिए,
5 And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
कान्छो छोरा यित्राम दाऊदकी पत्नी एग्लाका छोरा थिए । होब्रोनमा जन्मेका दाऊदका छोराहरू यिनै थिए ।
6 And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.
शाऊलका घराना र दाऊदका घराना बिचको युद्धको समयमा शाऊलको घरानामा अबनेरले आफूलाई निकै शक्तिशाली बनाए ।
7 And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine?
अय्याकी छोरी रिश्पा शाऊलकी उपपत्नी थिइन् । ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई भने, “तिमी मेरो बुबाको उपपत्नीसँग किन सुतेको?”
8 And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul thy father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and dost thou this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?
त्यसपछि ईश्बोशेतको कुराले अबनेर रिसले आगो भए र भने, “के म यहूदाको कुकुर हुँ? आज म तपाईंलाई दाऊदको हातमा नसुम्पेर तपाईंको बुबा शाऊको घराना, तिनका भाइहरू र तिनका मित्रहरूप्रति बफदारीता देखाइरहेको छु । तर अहिले तपाईंले मलाई यो स्त्रीको बारेको अपराधको दोष लगानुहुन्छ?
9 God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
पमरप्रभुले गर्छु भनी दऊदसित शपथ खानुभएझैं मैले तिनलाई गरिनँ भने, परमेश्वरले म अबनेरलाई यो वा योभन्दा बढी गर्नुभएको होस्,
10 to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
जसमा शाऊलको घरानाको राज्य हस्तान्तरण गर्न, र इस्राएलमाथि र यहूदामाथि दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मै दाऊदको सिंहासन स्थापित गर्न ।”
11 And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई अर्को शब्द केही पनि भन्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीसँग उनी डराए ।
12 And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with thee to bring back to thee all the house of Israel.
त्यसपछि अबनेरले यसो भन्दै दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए, “यो देश कसको हो? मसँग एउटा करार गर्नुहोस् र सारा इस्राएललाई तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउन मेरो हात तपाईंसँग भएको तपाईंले देख्नुहुने छ ।”
13 And David said, With a good will I will make with thee a covenant: only I demand one condition of thee, saying, Thou shalt not see my face, unless thou bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when thou comest to see my face.
दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “राम्रो, तिमीसँग एउटा करार गर्नेछु । तर तिमी मलाई भेट्न आउँदा म तिमीबाट एउटा कुरा चाहन्छु, पहिले शाऊलकी छोरी मीकल नल्याएसम्म तिमीले मेरो मुख हेर्न पाउने छैनौ ।”
14 And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
त्यसपछि दाऊदले यसो भन्दै शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए, “मलाई मेरी पत्नी मीकल देऊ, जसलाई मैले सय जना पलिश्तीको खलडीको मूल्य तिरें ।”
15 And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
त्यसैले ईश्बोशेतले मीकललाई लिन पठाए र तिनलाई तिनको पति लैशका छोरा पल्तिएलकहाँबाट ल्याए ।
16 And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.
तिनको पति रुँदै-रुँदै तिनसँगै गए र बहूरीमसम्म तिनलाई पछ्याए । तब अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “अब घर फर्क ।” त्यसैले तिनी फर्के ।
17 And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days ye sought David to reign over you;
अबनेरले इस्राएलका धर्म-गरुहरूसित यसो भनेर कुरा गरे, “विगतमा तपाईंहरूले दाऊदलाई आफ्ना राजा बनाउने प्रयास गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
18 and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
अब यो काम गर्नुहोस् । किनकि परमप्रभुले दाऊदसित यसो भनेर बोल्नुभएको छ, 'म आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूका हात र तिनीहरूका सबै शत्रुका हातबाट मेरो दास दाऊदको हातद्वारा नै बचाउने छु' ।”
19 And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
अबनेर आफैले पनि बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूसँग व्यक्तिगत रूपले कुरा गरे । त्यसपछि इस्राएल र बेन्यामीनका सम्पूर्ण घरानाले गर्न इच्छा गरेका सबै कुरा बताउन अबनेर दाऊदसँग कुरा गर्न हेब्रोनमा गए ।
20 And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.
जब अबनेर र तिनका बिस जना मानिसहरू दाऊदलाई भेट्न हेब्रोनमा आइपुगे, तब दाऊदले तिनीहरूका निम्ति भोज तयार गरे ।
21 And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and thou shalt reign over all whom thy soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
अबनेरले दाऊदलाई सविस्तार बताए, “हे मेरो मालिक राजा, म उठेर सबै इस्राएललाई तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउने छु, ताकि तिनीहरूले तपाईंसँग करार बाँधुन् र सबैमाथि तपाईंले इच्छा गर्नुभएबमोजिम तपाईंले शासन गर्न सक्नुभएको होस् ।” यसैले दाऊदले अबनेरलाई पठाइदिए र अबनेर शान्तिसित विदा भए ।
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.
त्यसपछि दाऊदका सिपाहीहरू र योआब लुटपिट गरेर आए र आफ्नो साथमा धेरै लुटका मालहरू ल्याए । तर अबनेरचाहिं हेब्रोनमा दाऊदसँग थिएनन् । दाऊदले तिनलाई पठाइसकेका थिए र अबनेर शान्तिसँग विदा भएका थिए ।
23 And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
जब योआब र तिनीसँग भएका सबै फौज आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले योआबलाई भने, “नेरका छोरा अबनेर राजाकहाँ आए र राजाले तिनलाई शान्तिसँग पठाउनुभएको छ र अबनेर शान्तिसँग विदा भए ।”
24 And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? behold, Abenner came to thee; and why hast thou let him go, and he has departed in peace?
तब योआब राजाकहाँ आए र भने, “तपाईंले य के गर्नुभएको छ? हेर्नुहोस्, अबनेर तपाईंकहाँ आए! तपाईंले तिनलाई किन पठाउनुभएको छ र तिनी गएका छन्?
25 Knowest thou not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all things that thou doest?
नेरका छोरा अबनेर तपाईंलाई छल्न गर्न र तपाईंका योजनाहरू र तपाईंले गरिरहेका हरेक कुरा पत्ता लगाउन आएका होइनन् र?”
26 And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.
जब योआब दाऊदकहाँबाट गए, तब तिनले अबनेरको पछि-पछि दूतहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सीराको इनारबाट फर्काए ल्याए, तर दाऊदलाई यो कुरा थाहा थिएन ।
27 And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he smote him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
जब अबनेर हेब्रोनमा फर्के, तिनीसित गोप्य रूपले कुरा गर्नलाई योआबले तिनलाई बिच ढोकाको एकातिर लिएर गए । त्यहाँ योआबले तिनलाई पेटमा घोचे र तिनलाई मारे । यसरी योआबले आफ्नो भाइ असाहेलको रगतको बदला लिए ।
28 And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
जब दाऊदले यस कुराको बारेमा सुने, तब तिनले भने, “नेरका छोरा अबनेरको रगतको सम्बन्धमा म र मेरो राज्य सदासर्वदा परमप्रभुको सामु निर्दोष छौं ।
29 Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
अबनेरको मृत्यको दोष योआब र तिनको बुबाको सारा घरानाको शिरमाथि नै परोस् । योआबको परिवारमा घाउ-खटिरा हुने वा छालाको रोग हुने वा लङ्गडो वा लट्ठीको साहाराले हिंड्ने वा खानाविना भौंतारिने मानिस कहिल्यै नटुटोस् ।”
30 For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
यसरी योआब र तिनका भाइ अबीशैले अबनेरलाई मारे, किनभने तिनले गिबोनको युद्धमा तिनीहरूका भाइ असाहेललाई मारेका थिए ।
31 And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
दाऊदले योआब र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसलाई यसो भने, “आफ्नो लुगा च्यात, भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ र अबनेरको मृत शरीको सामु विलाप गर ।” दाऊद राजा मृत्यु संस्कारको लस्करमा लासको पछि-पछि हिंडे ।
32 And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.
तिनीहरूले अबनेरलाई हेब्रोनमा गाडे । अबनेरको चिहानमा राजा ठुलो धुरु-धुरु रोए र सबै मानिसहरू पनि रोए ।
33 And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
राजाले अबनेरको निम्ति विलाप गरे र गित गाए, “के अबनेरले मूर्खले झैं मर्नुपर्छ?
34 Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [thee] not near as Nabal; thou didst fall before children of iniquity.
तिम्रा हातहरू बाँधिएका थिएनन् । तिम्रा खुट्टाहरू साङ्लाले बाँधिएका थिएनन् । एक जना मानिस अन्यायीको छोराको सामु ढलेझैं, तिमी पनि ढल्यौ ।” फेरि एक पल्ट सबै मानिस तिनको निम्ति रोए ।
35 And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
दिन छँदा नै दाऊदललाई खान मनाउन सबे मानिस आए तर दाऊदले शपथ खाए, “घाम नडुबेसम्म मैले रोटी वा कुनै कुरा चाखें भने परमेश्वरले मलाई यो वा योभन्दा बढ्ता गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
36 And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.
सबै मानिसले दाऊदको विलापलाई ख्याल गरे र यसले तिनीहरूलाई प्रशन्न तुल्यायो । दाऊदले जे गरे त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।
37 So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abenner the son of Ner.
त्यसैले नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई मार्ने इच्छा राजाको थिएन भन्ने सारा मानिस र सारा इस्राएलले बुझे ।
38 And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
राजाले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “आजको दिन इस्राएलमा एक जना शासक र महान् मानिस मरेका छन् भनी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?
39 And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
म अभिषिक्त राजा भएर पनि अहिले म कमजोर भएको छु । यी मानिसहरू, सरूयाहका छोराहरू मप्रति साह्रै निर्दयी भएका छन् । तिनको दुष्टता सुहाउँदो दण्ड परमप्रभुले तिनलाई दिनुभएको होस् ।”
