< Kings II 19 >

1 And they brought Joab word, saying, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Abessalom.
योआबलाई भनियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, राजाले अब्शालोमको निम्ति रुँदै र विलाप गर्दै छन् ।”
2 And the victory was turned that day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day, The king grieves after his son.
त्यसैले त्यस दिनको विजय सारा फौजको निम्ति शोकमा परिणत भयो, किनकि फौजले सुने कि, “राजाले आफ्नो छोराको निम्ति विलाप गर्दै छन् ।”
3 And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle.
जसरी युद्ध हारेर लाजमा परेका मानिसहरू युद्धबाट सुटुक्‍क भाग्‍छन्, त्‍यसरी नै त्‍यो दिन सपाहीहरू चुपचाप सुटुक्‍क सहरभित्र पस्‍नुपरेको थियो ।
4 And the king hid his face: and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Abessalom! Abessalom my son!
राजाले आफ्नो शिर ढाके र ठुलो सोरमा कराए, “ए मेरो छोरा ए अब्शालोम, ए अब्शालोम, ए मेरो छोरा, ए मेरो छोरा!”
5 And Joab went in to the king, into the house, and said, You have this day shamed the faces of all your servants that have delivered you this day, and [have saved] the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and of your concubines,
तब योआब राजाको घरभित्र पसे र उनलाई भने, “आज तपाईंले आफ्नो सारा सिपाहीको मुहार लाजमा पार्नुभएको छ, जसले आज तपाईंको जीवन, तपाईंका छोराहरूका र तपाईंका छोरीहरूका र तपाईंका पत्‍नीहरूका जीवन र तपाईंका उपपत्‍नीहरूका पत्‍नीहरूको जीवन बचाए,
6 forasmuch as you love them that hate you, and hate them that love you; and you have this day declared, that your princes and your servants are nothing [in your sight]: for I know this day, that if Abessalom were alive, [and] all of us dead today, then it would have been right in your sight.
किनभने जसले तपाईंलाई घृणा गर्छ त्यसलाई तपाईंले प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ र जसले तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्छ त्यसलाई तपाईं घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ । किनकि कमाण्‍डरहरू र सिपाहीहरू तपाईंका निम्ति केही होइनन् भन्‍ने कुरा आज तपाईंको देखाउनुभएको छ । आज मलाई विश्‍वास भयो कि अब्शालोम बाँचेको भए र हामी सबै मरेको भए तपाईं खुसी हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
7 And now arise, and go forth, and speak comfortably to your servants; for I have sworn by the Lord, that unless you will go forth today, there shall not a man remain with you this night: and know for yourself, this thing [will] indeed [be] evil to you beyond all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now.
यसकारण अब उठ्नुहोस् र बाहिर जानुहोस् र आफ्नो सिपाहीहरूसँग दयापूर्वक कुरा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि म परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खान्छु, तपाईं जानुभएन भने, आज राती तपाईंसँग एक जना पुरुष पनि रहने छैन । त्यो तपाईंको जवान अवस्थादेखि अहिलेसम्म घटेका सबै भन्दा खराब कुरा हुने छ ।”
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate: and all the people reported, saying, Behold, the king sits in the gate. And all the people went in before the king to the gate; for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
त्यसैले राजा उठे र सहरको ढोकामा बसे, र सबै मानिसलाई यसो भनियो, “हेर, राजा ढोकामा बसेका छन् ।” अनि सबै मानिस राजाको सामु आए । त्‍यति बेला इस्राएलका सबै मानिस भगरे आआफ्ना घरमा गएका थिए ।
9 And all the people disputed amongst all the tribes of Israel, saying, King David delivered us from all our enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines: and now he has fled from the land, and from his kingdom, and from Abessalom.
इस्राएलका सारा कुलमा सबै मानिसले यसो भन्‍दै आपसमा बहस गर्दै थिए, “राजाले हामीलाई हाम्रा शत्रुहरूका हातबाट बचाए, र उनले हामीलाई पलिश्‍तीहरूका हातबाट पनि बचाए, तर उनी अहिले अब्शालोमको कारणले देशबाट भागेका छन् ।
10 And Abessalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle: and now why are you silent about bringing back the king? And the word of all Israel came to the king.
हामीले अभिषेक गरेको अब्शालोम युद्धमा मरेका छन् । त्यसैले राजालाई फिर्ता ल्याउने बारेमा किन तिमीहरू केही बोल्दैनौ?”
11 And king David sent to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Why are you the last to bring back the king to his house? whereas the word of all Israel is come to the king to his house.
राजाले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरूलाई यसो भन्‍ने खबर पठाए, “यहूदाका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई सोध, 'राजालाई उनको दरबारमा फिर्ता ल्याउन सबै इस्राएलको कुरा उनको पक्षमा भएको हुनाले राजालाई उनको दरबारमा ल्याउन तिमीहरू किन अन्तिम हुन्‍छौ?
12 You [are] my brethren, you [are] my bones and my flesh: why are you the last to bring back the king to his house?
तिमीहरू मेरो दाजुभाइ, मेरो मासु र हाड हौ । तब राजालाई फिर्ता ल्याउन तिमीहरू किन अन्तिम हुन्‍छौ?'
13 And you shall say to Amessai, [Are] you not my bone and my flesh? and now God do so to me, and more also, if you shall not be commander of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
त्यसपछि अमासालाई भन, 'के तिमी मेरो मासु र मेरो हाड होइनौ? आज उप्रान्त तिमी यआबको सट्टामा मेरो फौजको कमाण्‍डर भएनौ भने परमेश्‍वरले मलाई यसै वा योभन्दा बढी गरून्' ।”
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Juda as that of one man; and they sent to the king, saying, Return you, and all your servants.
त्यसैले तिनले यहूदाका सबै मानिसका हृदयहरू एक जना मानिसको झैं गरी जिते । तिनीहरूले राजाकहाँ यसो भन्‍ने खबर पठाए, “तपाईं र तपाईंका सबै मानिस फर्कनुहोस् ।”
15 And the king returned, and came as far as Jordan. And the men of Juda came to Galgala on their way to meet the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
त्यसैले राजा फर्के र यर्दनमा आए । अब यहूदाका मानिसहरू गिलगालमा आए अनि राजालाई यर्दन वारि ल्याए ।
16 And Semei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Baurim, hasted and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David.
बेन्यामिनी गेराका छोरा शिमी पनि बहूरीमबाट यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँगै हतार-हतार राजालाई भेट्न आए ।
17 And a thousand men of Benjamin [were] with him, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons with him, and his twenty servants with him: and they went directly down to Jordan before the king,
तिनीसित त्यहाँ बेन्यामीन कुलका मानिसहरू एक हजार जना थिए, र शाऊलका सेवक सीबा, तिनका पन्ध्र जना छोरा र तिनीसँगै बिस जना सेवक थिए ।
18 and they performed the service of bringing the king over; and there went over a ferry-boat to remove the household of the king, and to do that which was right in his eyes. And Semei the son of Gera fell on his face before the king, as he went over Jordan;
तिनीहरू राजालाई ल्याउन र उनलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर्न पारि गए । गेराका छोरा शिमीले यर्दन तर्न सुरु गर्नअगि राजालाई साष्‍टङ्ग दण्‍डवत् गरे ।
19 and said to the king, Let not my lord now impute iniquity, and remember not all the iniquity of your servant in the day in which my lord went out from Jerusalem, so that the king should mind it.
शिमीले राजालाई भने, “मेरो मालिक महाराजाले यरूशलेम छोडेको दिन हजुरका दासले गरेको कुरा मनमा नलिनुहोला वा दोषी नठहराउनुहोला । कृपया, यसलाई राजाले हृदयमा नराख्‍नुहोला ।
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned: and, behold, I am come today before all Israel and the house of Joseph, to go down and meet my lord the king.
किनकि हजुरको दासले पाप गरेको छ भनी जानेको छ । हेर्नुहोस्, म आज योसेफको सबै कुलबाट मेरो मालिक महाराजालाई भेट्न आउनेमा म पहिलो भएको छु ।”
21 And Abessai the son of Saruia answered and said, Shall not Semei therefore be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
तर सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैले जवाफ दिएर भने, “के शिमीलाई यसको निम्ति मर्नु पर्दैन किनभने त्‍यसले परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्‍तलाई सरापेको छ?”
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia, that you as it were lie in wait against me this day? today no man in Israel shall be put to death, for I know not if I this day reign over Israel.
तब दाऊदले भने, “ए सरूयाहका छोराहरू तिमीहरूको मसँग के सरोकार, कि तिमीहरू आज मेरो विरोधीहरू हुन्छौ? के आजको दिन इस्राएलमा कुनै मानिसलाई मारिने छ र? किनकि आज म इस्राएलका राजा हुँ भन्‍ने कुरा मलाई थाहा छैन र?”
23 And the king said to Semei, You shall not die: and the king swore to him.
त्यसैले राजाले शिमीलाई भने, “तिमी मर्ने छैनौ ।” त्यसैले राजाले शपथसहित तिनलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरे ।
24 And Memphibosthe the son of Saul's son went down to meet the king, and had not dressed his feet, nor pared his nails, nor shaved himself, neither had he washed his garments, from the day that the king departed, until the day when he arrived in peace.
त्यसपछि शाऊलका नाति मपीबोशेत राजालाई भेट्न तल आए । तिनले राजा गएको दिनदेखि उनी शान्तिसँग घर नफर्केसम्म उनले आफ्नो खुट्टाको नङ्ग काटेका थिएनन्, न दाह्री नै काटे न लुगा नै धोएका थिए ।
25 And it came to pass when he went into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Memphibosthe?
त्यसैले जब तिनी यरूशलेमबाट राजालाई भेट्न आए, राजाले तिनलाई भने, “ए मपीबोशेत, तिमी किन मसँग गएनौ?”
26 And Memphibosthe said to him, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said to him, Saddle me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and go with the king; for your servant [is] lame.
तिनले जवाफ दिए, “ए मेरो मालिक महाराजा, मेरो सेवकले मलाई धोका दियो, किनकि मैले भनें, 'म गधामा जीन-लगाम लगाउने छु, ताकि म यसमा चढ्न र राजासँग जान सकूँ, किनभने हजुरको सेवक लङ्गडो छ ।'
27 And he has dealt deceitfully with your servant to my lord the king: but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God, and do you that which is good in your eyes.
म हजुरको सेवकको बारेमा मेरो सेवक सीबाले हजुरसँग निन्दा गरेको छ । तर मेरो मालिक महाराजा स्वर्दूतजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ । यसकारण, तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा जे असल छ त्यही गर्नुहोस् ।
28 For all the house of my father were but as dead men before my lord the king; yet you have set your servant amongst them that eat at your table: and what right have I any longer even to cry to the king?
किनकि मेरो मालिक राजाको सामु मेरो बुबाको सबै घराना मृत मानिसहरू थिए, तर हजुरले आफ्नो सेवकलाई आफ्नै टेबलमा खानेमध्येको बनाउनुभयो । यसकारण म अझै राजासँग पुकारा गर्नुपर्ने मेरो के अधिकार छ र?”
29 And the king said to him, Why speak you any longer of your matters? I have said, You and Siba shall divide the land.
तब राजाले तिनलाई भने, “अझ अरू बेलीबिस्‍तार किन गर्नु? तिमी र सीबाले जमिन बाँड्‍नुपर्छ भनी मैले निर्णय गरेको छु ।”
30 And Memphibosthe said to the king, Yes, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to his house.
मपीबोशेतले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “होस्, त्यसैले सबै लैजाओस्, किनभने मेरो मालिक महाराजा आफ्नो घरमा सुरक्षित आउनुभएको छ ।”
31 And Berzelli the Galaadite came down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might conduct the king over Jordan.
त्यसपछि रोगेलीमबाट गिलादी बर्जिल्लै तल आए राजासँगै यर्दन तरे र तिनी राजासँगै यर्दन पारि गए ।
32 And Berzelli was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he lived in Manaim; for he was a very great man.
यति बेला बर्जिल्लै धेरै वृद्ध, असी वर्षका भएका थिए । राजा महनोममा बस्‍दा तिनले राजालाई सबै खाद्यन्‍नहरू दिएका उपलब्ध गरेका थिए, किनभने तिनी धेरै धनी मनिस थिए ।
33 And the king said to Berzelli, You shall go over with me, and I will nourish your old age with me in Jerusalem.
राजाले बर्जिल्लैलाई भने, “मसँगै आउनुहोस् र मसँग यरूशलेम बस्‍नलाई म तपाईंलाई प्रबन्ध मिलाउने छु ।”
34 And Berzelli said to the king, How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
बर्जिल्लैले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “मेरो जीवनका वर्षहरूमा कति दिन बाँकी छन् र ताकि म महाराजासँग यरूशलेममा जाऊँ?
35 I am this day eighty years old: can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can your servant taste any longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing men or singing women? and therefore shall your servant any longer be a burden to my lord the king?
म असी वर्ष भएँ । के म असल र खराब बिच भिन्‍नता छुट्टाउन सक्छु र? के हजुरको सेवकले के खायो र के पियो भनी स्वाद लिन सक्छ र? कै मैले गायक पुरुष र गायक महिलाको सोर अझै सुन्‍न सक्छु र? अनि हजुरको सेवक मेरो मालिक महाराजाको निम्ति किन बोझ बन्‍नु र?
36 Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?
हजुरको सेवक महाराजासँग यर्दन पारिसम्म मात्र जान चाहन्छ । महाराजाले मलाई किन यस्तो इनाम दिनुहुन्छ?
37 Let, I pray you, your servant remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my mother. And, behold, your servant Chamaam shall go over with my lord the king; and do you to him as it seems good in your eyes.
कृपया आफ्नो सेवकलाई घर फर्कन दिनुहोस्, ताकि मेरो आफ्नै सहरमा मेरो बुबा र आमाको चिहानको छेउमा म मर्न पाऊँ । तर हेर्नुहोस्, हजुरको सेवक किमहाम छ । मेरो मालिकसँग त्यही नै जाओस् र हजुरलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो त्यसको निम्‍ति गरिदिनुहोस् ।”
38 And the king said, Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do to him what is good in my sight; and whatever you shall choose at my hand, I will do for you.
राजाले जवाफ दिए, “किमहाम मसँगै जाने छ, र म त्यसको निम्ति तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो म गर्ने छु र तपाईंले मबाट जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्‍छ सो म तपाईंको निम्ति गर्ने छु ।”
39 And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Berzelli, and blessed him; and he returned to his place.
त्यसपछि सबै मानिसहरूले यर्दन तरे र राजाले पनि यर्दन तरे, अनि राजाले बर्जिल्लैलाई चुम्बन गरेर तिनलाई आशिष् दिए । तब बर्जिल्लै तिनको आफ्नै घरमा फर्के ।
40 And the king went over to Galgala, and Chamaam went over with him: and all the men of Juda went over with the king, and also half the people of Israel.
यसरी राजा पारि गिलगालमा आए र किमहाम उनीसँगै पारि आए । यहूदाका सबै फौज र इस्राएलका आधा फौजले राजालाई लिएर आए ।
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen you away, and caused the king and all his house to pass over Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
चाँडै इस्राएलका सबै मानिस राजाकहाँ आउन लागे र राजालाई यसो भन्‍न लागे, “हाम्रा दाजुभाइ अर्थात् यहूदाका मानिसहरूले हजुरलाई किन चोरेर लगेका छन्, र महाराजा उहाँका परिवारलाई र दाऊदका सबै मानिसलाई उहाँसँगै यर्दन वारि पुर्‍याएका छन्?”
42 And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel, and said, Because the king is near of kin to us: and why were you thus angry concerning this matter? have we indeed eaten of the king's food? or has he given us a gift, or has he sent us a portion?
त्यसैले यहूदाका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “किनभने राजा हामीसँग अझ धेरै नजिकबाट सम्बन्धित हुनुहुन्‍छ । तब तिमीहरू यसबारे किन रिसाउँछौ? के महाराजाले तिर्नुपर्ने गरी हामीले कुनै कुरा खाएका छौं र? के उहाँले हामीलाई कुनै उपहार दिनुभएको छ र?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have you thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of Juda, to bring back our king? And the speech of the men of Juda was sharper than the speech of the men of Israel.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “हामीसँग महाराजासँग सम्बन्धित दश कुल छन्, त्यसैले दाऊदसँग तिमीहरूको भन्दा धेरै अधिकार हामीसित छ । तब तिमीहरूले हामीलाई किन तुच्‍छ ठान्‍यौ? के हाम्रो राजालाई फिर्ता ल्याउने हाम्रो प्रस्ताव पहिले सुनुवाइ हुनुपर्दैनथ्यौ?” तर यहूदाका मानिसहरूका वचनहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका वचनभन्दा धेरै रुखो थियो ।
