< Kings II 17 >
1 And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise and follow after David this night:
त्यसपछि अहीतोपेलले अब्शालोमलाई भने, “अब म बाह्र हजार मानिस छान्ने छु र म उठ्ने छु र दाऊदलाई आज राती नै खेदने छु ।
2 and I will come upon him when he [is] weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the people with him shall flee, and I will strike the king only of all.
तिनी थकित र कमजोर हुँदा नै तिनीकहाँ म पुग्ने छु र तिनलाई भयङ्कर त्रासमा पार्ने छु । तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरू भाग्ने छन् र म राजालाई मात्र आक्रमण गर्ने छु ।
3 And I will bring back all the people to you, as a bride returns to her husband: only you seek the life of one man, and all the people shall have peace.
दुलही आफ्नो दुलाहाकहाँ आएजस्तै सबै मानिसलाई म तपाईंकहाँ फर्काएर ल्याउने छु र सबै मानिस तपाईंको अधीनमा शान्तिमा रहने छन् ।”
4 And the saying [was] right in the eyes of Abessalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
अहीतोपेलले भनेको कुरा अब्शालोम र इस्राएलका सबै धर्म-गुरुलाई मन पर्यो ।
5 And Abessalom said, Call now also Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what [is] in his mouth, even in his also.
त्यसपछि अब्शालोमले भने, “अरकी हूशैलाई पनि बोलाऊ र उनले के भन्छन् हामी सुनौं ।”
6 And Chusi went in to Abessalom, and Abessalom spoke to him, saying, After this manner spoke Achitophel: shall we do according to his word? but if not, do you speak.
जब हूशै अब्बशालोमकहाँ आए, अब्बशालोमले उनलाई अहीतोपेलले भनेका सबै कुरा बताइदिए र हूशैलाई सोधे, “के हामीले अहीतोपेलले भनेका कुरा गरौं? होइन भने, हामीलाई तपाईंको सल्लाह भन्नुहोस् ।”
7 And Chusi said to Abessalom, This counsel which Achitophel has counselled this one time [is] not good.
त्यसैले हूशैले अब्शालोमलाई भने, “अहीतोपेलले दिएका सल्लाह यस पटक ठिक छैन ।”
8 And Chusi said, You know your father and his men, that they are very mighty, and bitter in their spirit, as a bereaved bear in the field, [and as a wild boar in the plain]: and your father [is] a man of war, and will not give the people rest.
हूशैले थपे, “तपाईंले आफ्नो बुबालाई चिन्नुहुन्छ र उहाँका मानिसहरू बलिया योद्धाहरू छन्, तिनीहरू तितो छन्, र तिनीहरू मैदानका बच्चा खोसिएका भालुहरूजस्ता छन् । तपाईंको बुबा एक योद्धा हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ आज फौजसँग सुत्नुहुने छैन ।
9 For, behold, he is now hidden in one of the hills or in some [other] place: and it shall come to pass when he falls upon them at the beginning, that [some one] will certainly hear, and say, There has been a slaughter amongst the people that follow after Abessalom.
हेर्नुहोस्, यति बेला उहाँ सायद कुनै खाडल वा अर्कै ठाउँमा लुकिरहनुभएको छ । आक्रमणको सुरुमा नै तपाईंका केही मानिसहरू मारिए भने सुन्ने जोसकैले भन्ने छन्, 'अब्शालोमसँग हुनेहरू माझ नरसंहार भएको छ ।'
10 Then even he [that is] strong, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, —it shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that your father [is] mighty, and they that are with him [are] mighty men.
त्यसपछि सिंहको जस्तो हृदय हुने सबैभन्दा सिपाही पनि भयभीत हुने छ, किनभने तपाईंको बुबा वीर योद्धा हुनुहुन्छ भनी सारा इस्राएलले जान्दछ र उहाँसँग भएका मानिसहरू धेरै बलिया छन् ।
11 For thus I have surely given counsel, that all Israel be generally gathered to you from Dan even to Bersabee, as the sand that is upon the sea-shore for multitude: and that your presence go in the midst of them.
त्यसैले दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मका सबै इस्राएल तपाईंकहाँ भेला भएर समुद्रको बालुवा जत्तिकै असंख्या हुनुपर्छ र तपाईं स्वयम् युद्ध गर्न जानुपर्छ भन्ने सल्लाह म तपाईंलाई दिन्छु ।
12 And we will come upon him in one of the places where we shall find him, and we will encamp against him, as the dew falls upon the earth; and we will not leave of him and of his men so much as one.
त्यसपछि हामीले उनलाई जहाँ भेट्टाए पनि उनमाथि जाइलाग्ने छौं र जमिनमा शीत परेझैं हामीले उनलाई छोप्ने छौं । हामीले उनका मानिसहरू वा उनी स्वयम् एउटालाई पनि जीवित छोड्ने छेनौं ।
13 And if he shall have taken refuge with his army in a city, then shall all Israel take ropes to that city, and we will draw it even into the river, that there may not be left there even a stone.
उनी सहरमा शरण लिन्छन् भने, त्यस सहरमा सारा इस्राएलले डोरी ल्याउने छन् र त्यहाँ एउटा सानो ढुङ्गा पनि नभेटिने गरी त्यसलाई हामी घिसारेर नदीमा झार्ने छौं ।”
14 And Abessalom, and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Chusi the Arachite [is] better than the counsel of Achitophel. For the Lord ordained to disconcert the good counsel of Achitophel, that the Lord might bring all evil upon Abessalom.
अनि अब्बशालोम र इस्राएलका मानिसले भने, “आरकी हूशैको सल्लाह अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहभन्दा राम्रो छ ।” परमप्रभुले अब्शालोममाथि विनाश ल्याउनको निम्ति अहीतोपेलको सल्लाह इन्कार गर्ने निश्चय गर्नुभएको थियो ।
15 And Chusi the Arachite said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Achitophel counselled Abessalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
तब हूशैले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरूलाई भने, “अहीतोपेलले अब्शालोम र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई यस्तो-यस्तो सल्लाह दिए, तर मैले अरू नै सल्लाह दिएको छु ।
16 And now send quickly and report to David, saying, Lodge not this night in Araboth of the wilderness: even go and make haste, lest [one] swallow up the king, and all the people with him.
अब चाँडो जाओ र दाऊदलाई खबर गर । उनलाई भन, 'आज राती आराबाको जाँघरहरूमा छाउनी नलगाउनुहोस्, तर कुनै पनि उपायले पारि तर्नुहोस्, नत्र राजाका अनि उहाँको साथमा भएका सबै मानिस समेत नाश पारिने छन्' ।”
17 And Jonathan and Achimaas stood by the well of Rogel, and a maidservant went and reported to them, and they go and tell king David; for they might not be seen to enter into the city.
यति बेला जोनाथन र अहीमास एन-रोगेलको पानीको मूलमा पर्खिरहेका थिए । तिनीहरूले जान्नुपर्ने कुरा एक जना दासी गएर तिनीहरूलाई खबर गर्थिन्, किनकि तिनीहरू सहरभित्र गएर देखिने जोखिममा पर्न सक्दैनथे । जब खबर आउँथ्यो, तब तिनीहरू गएर राजालाई भन्थे ।
18 But a young man saw them and told Abessalom: and the two went quickly, and entered into the house of a man in Baurim; and he had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
तर योपल्ट एक जना जवान मानिसले तिनीहरूलाई देख्यो र अब्बशालोमलाई बतायो । त्यसैले जोनाथन र अहीमास तुरुन्तै गए र बहूरिममा एक जना मानिसको घरमा आए जसको आँगनमा एउटा इनार थियो, जसभित्र तिनीहरू पसे ।
19 And a woman took a covering, and spread it over the mouth of the well, and spread out ground corn upon it to dry, and the thing was not known.
ती मानिसकी पत्नीले त्यो इनारको ढकनी ल्याइन् र इनारको मुख ढाकिन् अनि त्यसमाथि बिस्कुन सुकाइन्, त्यसैले इनारमा जोनाथन र अहीमास थिए भनेर कसैले थाहा पाएनन् ।
20 And the servants of Abessalom came to the woman into the house, and said, Where [are] Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman said to them, They are gone a little way beyond the water. And they sought and found them not, and returned to Jerusalem.
अब्शालोमका मानिसहरू त्यो घरकी स्त्रीकहाँ आए र भने, “अहीमास र जोनाथन कहाँ छन्?” ती स्त्रीले भनिन्, “तिनीहरू नदी तरेर गाइसके ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले वरिपरि हेरे र तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टउन सकेनन्, तब तिनीहरू यरूशलेम फर्के ।
21 And it came to pass after they were gone, that they came up out of the pit, and went on their way; and reported to king David, and said to David, Arise you and go quickly over the water, for thus has Achitophel counselled concerning you.
तिनीहरू गएपछि जोनाथन र अहीमास इनारबाट बाहिर निस्के । उनीहरू दाऊद राजालाई खबर दिन गए । तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “उठ्नुहोस् चाँडो नदी तर्नुहोस, किनभने अहीतोपेलले तपाईंको बारेमा यस्तो-यस्तो सल्लाह दिएका छन् ।”
22 And David rose up and all the people with him, and they passed over Jordan till the morning light; there was not one missing who did not pass over Jordan.
त्यसपछि दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिस उठे र तिनीहरूले यर्दन नदी तरे । बिहान उज्यालो हुँदासम्मा तीमध्ये यर्दन तर्न बाँकी कोही पनि थिएन ।
23 And Achitophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled his ass, and rose and departed to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
जब अहीतोपेलले आफ्नो सल्लाहको अनुसरण नभएको देखे, उनले आफ्नो गधामा जीन-लगाम कसे र विदा भए । उनी आफ्नो सहरमा भएको घरमा गए, आफ्ना सबै कुरा मिलाए र आफूलाई झुण्डाए । यसरी उनी मरे र आफ्नै बुबाको चिहानमा गाडिए ।
24 And David passed over to Manaim: and Abessalom crossed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
त्यसपछि दाऊद महनोममा आए । अब्शालोमचाहीं र आफूसित भएका इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई लिएर यर्दन नदी तरे ।
25 And Abessalom appointed Amessai in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose name was Jether of Jezrael: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas, the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
अब्बशालोमले योआबको सट्टामा अमासालाई फौजका कमाण्डर बनाएका थिए । अमासा इश्माएली येतेरका छोरा थिए, जो अबीगेलसँग सुते जो नाहाशकी छोरी र योआबकी आमा सरूयाहकी बहिनी थिइ ।
26 And all Israel and Abessalom encamped in the land of Galaad.
तब इस्राएल र अब्बशालोमले गिलादको जमिनमा छाउनी हाले ।
27 And it came to pass when David came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of Rogellim,
जब दाऊद महनोममा आएका थिए, अम्मोनीहरूको रब्बाका नाहाशका छोरा शोबी अनि लो-देबारका अम्मीएलको छोरा माकीर र रोगेलिमबाट आएका गिलादी बर्जिल्लैले
28 brought ten embroidered beds, (with double coverings, ) and ten cauldrons, and earthenware, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse,
सुत्ने ओछ्यान र ओड्ने कम्बलहरू, भाँडाहरू, जौको पिठो भुटेको अन्न, सिमी, दाल
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheeses of kine: and they brought them to David and to his people with him to eat; for [one] said, The people [is] faint and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.
मह, नौनी, भेडा र दही ल्याए, ताकि दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मसनिहरूले खान सकुन् । यी मानिसले भनेका थिए, “मानिसहरू उजाडस्थानमा भोकाएका, थकित, र तिर्खाएका छन् ।”
