1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines assembled their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
यति बेला पलिश्तीहरूले युद्धको निम्ति आफ्ना फौजहरू भेला गरे । तिनीहरू सोकोमा भेला भए जुन यहूदाको क्षेत्र हो । तिनीहरूले सोको र आजेकाको बिचमा एपेस-दम्मीममा छाउनी हाले ।
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of terebinths, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
शाऊल र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू भेला भए र एलाहको मैदानमा छाउनी हाले र पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न पङ्तीबद्ध भए ।
3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and the ravine was between them.
पलिश्तीहरू पहाडको एकापट्टि र इस्राएल पहाडको अर्कोपट्टि मैदानलाई तिनीहरूका बिचमा पारेर खडा भए ।
4 And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
गातको गोल्यत नाउँ गरेको एक जना बलियो मानिस पलिश्तीहरूको छाउनीबाट आयो, जसको उचाइ तिन मिटर थियो ।
5 And he had a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze.
उसले आफ्नो शिरमा काँसाको टोप लगाएको थियो, त्यो झिलमले सुसज्जित थियो । उसको काँसाको झिलमको तौल साठी किलो थियो ।
6 And he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.
उसको खुट्टामा काँसाको झिलम थियो र त्यसको कुमहरूको बिचमा भाला थियो ।
7 And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the shield-bearer went before him.
उसको भालाको डण्डा कपडा बुन्ने जुलाहको थुरीजस्तै ठुलो थियो । उसको भालाको टुप्पो सात किलो फलामको थियो । उसको ढाल बोक्ने त्यसको अगि-अगि गयो ।
8 And he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
ऊ खडा भयो र इस्राएलको फौजतिर चिच्याए, “तिमीहरू लडाइँको निम्ति पङ्तीबद्ध हुन किन आएका छौ? के म एक जना पलिश्ती होइन र तिमीहरू शाऊलको सेवकहरू होइनौ र? आफ्नो निम्ति एक जना मानिसलाई चुन र ऊ मकहाँ तल आओस् ।
9 If he be able to fight with me, and to smite me, then will we be your servants; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us.
मसँग लडेर उसले मलाई जित्यो भने, हामी तिमीहरूका सेवकहरू हुनेछौं । तर मैले त्यसलाई हराएँ भने, तिमीहरू हाम्रो सेवकहरू हुनेछौ र हाम्रो सेवा गर्नेछौ ।”
10 And the Philistine said, I have defied the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
त्यो पलिश्तीले फेरि भन्यो, “म इस्राएलको फौजलाई आज चुनौती दिन्छु । मलाई एउटा मानिस देओ, ताकि हामीसँगै लड्न सकौं ।”
11 And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
जब शाऊल र सारा इस्राएलले त्यो पलिश्तीले भनेको कुरा सुने, तिनीहरू निरुत्साहित भए र साह्रै डराए ।
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced [in years] among men.
दाऊदचाहिं यहूदाका बेथलेहेमको एप्रातीका छोरा थिए जसको नाम यिशै थियो । तिनका आठ भाइ छोरा थिए । शाऊलको समयमा यिशै बृद्ध मानिस, मानिसहरू माझ धेरै वृद्ध थिए ।
13 And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
यिशैका तिन जना ठुला छोराहरू युद्धमा शाऊलको पछि लागेका थिए । तिन छोराहरूका नाउँहरू जेठा एलीआब, माहिला अबीनादाब र साहिंला शम्मा थिए ।
14 And David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul.
दाऊदचाहिं कान्छा थिए । तिन जना दाजुहरू शाऊलको पछि लागे ।
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
अहिले दाऊद बेथलेहेममा भएका भेडाहरूलाई चराउनको निम्ति र शाऊलका फौज बिच आउने र जाने गर्थे ।
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
चालिस दिनसम्म त्यो बलियो पलिश्ती बिहान र साँझ आफूलाई युद्धको निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्न देखा परे ।
17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephah of parched [corn] and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren;
तब यिशैले तिनका छोरा दाऊदलाई भने, “यो भुटेको अन्न र दस वटा रोटी लेऊ र तिनीहरूलाई तिम्रा दाजुहरूका निम्ति छाउनीमा चाँडो बोकेर लैजाऊ ।
18 and carry these ten cheeses to the captain of the thousand, and visit thy brethren to see how they are, and take a pledge of them.
साथै यी दस वटा पनीर हजार जनाको कप्तानको निम्ति लैजाऊ । तिम्रा दाजुहरू कस्ता छन्, तिनीहरू राम्रै छन् भन्ने केही प्रमाण लेऊ ।
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [were] in the valley of terebinths, fighting against the Philistines.
तिम्रा दाजुहरू शाऊलसँग र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू एलाहको मैदानमा पलिश्तीहरूसँग लडिरहेका छन् ।”
20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took his charge and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the wagon-defence; and the host which was going forth to the battle-array shouted for the fight.
दाऊद बिहान सबेरै उठे र भेडाहरू गोठालाहरूको हातमा हेरचाहमा छोडे । तिनले खाद्यन्नहरू लिए र यिशैले तिनलाई आज्ञा गरेझैं गए । तिनी फौजहरू युद्ध-ध्वनिका साथ युद्ध मैदानमा जाँदै गर्दा छाउनीमा आए ।
21 And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, rank against rank.
इस्राएल र पलिश्तीहरू युद्धको निम्ति फौजको विरुद्ध फौज पङ्तिबद्ध भए ।
22 And David left the things he was carrying in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the ranks, and came and saluted his brethren.
सामानहरू राख्नेको जिम्मामा दाऊदले आफ्ना सामानहरू छोडे, फौजहरूतिर दौडे, र आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई ढोग गरे ।
23 And as he talked with them, behold there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard [them].
तिनी उनीहरूसँग कुरा गरिरहँदा, गोल्यत नाउँ गरेको त्यो बलियो पलिश्ती पलिश्तीहरूको फौजबाट आयो र पहिलेको जस्तै शब्दहरू भन्यो र दाऊदले त्यो सुने ।
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were greatly afraid.
जब इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले त्यो मानिसलाई देखे, तिनीहरू त्यसदेखि भागे र साह्रै भयभीत भए ।
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who smites him, him will the king enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले भने, “के माथि आएको यो मानिसलाई तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ? ऊ इस्राएललाई चुनौती दिन आएको छ । उसलाई मार्नेलाई राजाले धेरै सम्पत्ति दिनेछन्, तिनले तिनलाई आफ्नो छोरी विवाह गर्न दिनेछन् र इस्राएलमा तिनको बुबाको घरानालाई करबाट मुक्त गर्नेछन् ।”
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that smites this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
दाऊदले आफ्नो छेउमा उभिएका मानिसहरूलाई सोधे, “यो पलिश्तीलाई मार्ने र इस्राएलबाट निन्दा दुर गर्नेलाई के गरिनेछ? जीवित परमेश्वरको फौजलाई धम्की दिने यो बेखतनाको पलिश्ती को हो?”
27 And the people told him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that smites him.
अनि मानिसहरूले भनिरहेका कुरालाई नै दोहोर्याए र तिनलाई भने, “उसलाई मार्नेलाई यसै गरिनेछ ।”
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
तिनले मानिसहरूसँग कुरा गर्दा तिनका जेठा दाजु एलीआबले सुने । एलीआबको रिस दाऊदमाथि दन्कियो, र तिनले भने, “तँ यहाँ किन आइस्? उजाड-स्थानमा भएका ती थोरै भेडाहरूलाई कसको साथमा छोडिस्? तेरो घमण्ड र तेरो हृदयको कुटिलता मलाई थाहा छ । किनकि युद्ध हेर्न भनेर तँ यहाँ तल आएको होस् ।”
29 And David said, What have I now done? Was it not laid upon me?
दाऊदले भने, “मैले अहिले के गरेको छु? के यो एउटा प्रश्न मात्र थिएन?”
30 And he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner.
ऊबाट तिनी अर्कोतिर नै तर्किए र त्यसरी नै कुरा गरे । मानिसहरूले पहिलेको जस्तै गरी उही जवाफ दिए ।
31 And the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
जब सिपाहीहरूले दाऊदले भनेका कुराहरू सुने, तब तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा शाऊललाई बताए र तिनले दाऊदलाई लिन पठाए ।
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
तब दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “त्यो पलिश्तीको कारणले कसैको हृदय हतास नहोस् । तपाईंको दास जानेछ र यो पलिश्तीसँग लड्नेछ ।”
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “तिमी यो पलिश्तीको विरुद्धमा लाड्न जान सक्षम छैनौ । किनभने तिमी भर्खरको केटा मात्र हौ र ऊ आफ्नो जवानीदेखि नै युद्धमा छ ।”
34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock.
तर दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “तपाईंको दासले आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाहरूको हेरचाह गर्ने गर्थ्यो । जब सिंह वा भालु आएर भेडालाई बगालबाट लान्थ्यो,
35 And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
म त्यसलाई लखेट्थें र त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्थें र त्यसको मुखबाट यसलाई छुटकारा दिन्थें । जब त्यो मेरो विरुद्ध आइलाग्थ्यो, मैले त्यसको दाह्रीमा समातेर त्यसलाई प्रहार गर्थें र मार्थें ।
36 Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.
तपाईंको दासले सिंह र भालु दुवै मारेको छ । यो पलिश्ती पनि तिनीहरूमध्ये एउटाझैं हुनेछ, किनभने यसले जीवित परमेश्वरको फौजलाई चुनौती दिएको छ ।”
37 And David said, Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with thee.
दाऊदले भने, “परमप्रभुले मलाई सिंह र भालुको पञ्जाबाट बचाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले नै यो पलिश्तीको हातबाट पनि मलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।” त्यसपछि शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “जाऊ, र परमप्रभु तिमीसँग हुनुभएको होस् ।”
38 And Saul clothed David with his dress, and put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and clothed him with a corselet.
शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नो पोशाक लगाइदिए । तिनले उनको शिरमा काँसाको टोप लगाइदिए । तिनले उनलाई झिलम पहिर्याइदिए ।
39 And David girded his sword upon his dress, and endeavoured to go; for he had not yet tried [it]. And David said to Saul, I cannot go in these; for I have never tried [them]. And David put them off him.
दाऊदले तिनको तरवार तिनको झिलममाथि भिरे । तर उनी हिंड्न सकेनन्, किनभने ती लगाएर हिंड्ने तालिम तिनलाई थिएन । अनि दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “यि लगाएर म लड्न जान सक्दिनँ, किनभने यी लगाएर हिंड्ने तालिम मैले लिएको छैन ।” त्यसैले दाऊदले ती फुकाले ।
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.
तिनले आफ्नो लट्ठी हातमा लिए र खोलाबाट पाँच वटा चिल्लो ढुङ्गा छाने । तिनले ती आफ्नो गोठालोको झोलामा हाले । त्यो पलिश्तीसँग भिड्न जाँदा तिनको हातमा घुयेंत्रो थियो ।
41 And the Philistine came on and approached David; and the man that bore the shield was before him.
त्यो पलिश्ति आयो र दाऊदको नजिक गयो । उसको हतियार बोक्ने उसको अगि थियो ।
42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was a youth, and ruddy, and besides of a beautiful countenance.
जब त्यो पलिश्तीले अघि हेर्यो र दाऊदलाई देख्यो, तब उसले तिनलाई तुच्छ ठान्यो, किनकि तिनी राता गाला भएका सुन्दर स्वरूपका एउटा सानो केटा मात्र थिए ।
43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
तब त्यो पलिश्तीले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “के म कुकुर हो र तँ लट्टी लिएर आइस्?,” र पलिश्तीले आफ्नो देवताहरूको नाउँमा सराप्यो ।
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the heavens and to the beasts of the field.
त्यो पलिश्तीले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “मकहाँ आइज, र म तेरो मासु आकाशका चराहरू र जमिनका पशुहरूलाई दिनेछु ।”
45 And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin; but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
दाऊदले त्यो पलिश्तिलाई जवाफ दिए, “तँ त तरवार, भाला र बर्छासित मकहाँ आइस् । तर म त सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, इस्राएलको फौजका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा तँकहाँ आउँछु, जसको तैंले विरोध गरेको छस् ।
46 This day will Jehovah deliver thee up into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth. And all the earth shall know that Israel has a God;
आज परमप्रभुले मलाई तँमाथि विजय दिनुहुनेछ र म तँलाई मार्नेछु र तेरो शिरलाई तेरो शरीरबाट अलग गर्नेछु । आज म पलिश्ती फौजको मृत शरीरहरूलाई आकाशको चराहरू र पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरूलाई दिनेछु, ताकि इस्राएलमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भनी सारा पृथ्वीले जान्न सकोस्,
47 and all this congregation shall know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hands.
साथै भेला भएका यी सबैले जानून् कि परमप्रभुले तरवार वा भालाले विजन दिनुहुन्न । किनकि युद्ध परमप्रभुको हो र उहाँले नै तँलाई मेरो हातमा दिनुहुनेछ ।
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and advanced to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the ranks to meet the Philistine.
जब त्यो पलिश्ती उठ्यो र दाऊदको नजिक जान लाग्यो, तब उसलाई भेट्न दाऊद छिटो दौडेर शत्रुका फौजतिर गए ।
49 And David put his hand into the bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.
दाऊदले आफ्नो झोलामा आफ्नो हात हाले, त्यसबाट एउटा ढुङ्गा लिए, त्यसलाई घुयेंत्रोमा घुमाए र पलिश्तीको निधारमा हिर्काए । त्यो ढुङ्गा उक्त पलिश्तीको निधारमै गाडियो र ऊ घोप्टो परेर जमिनमा ढल्यो ।
50 So David overcame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him; and there was no sword in the hand of David.
त्यो पलिश्तीलाई एउटा घुयेंत्र र एउटा ढुङ्गाले दाउदले हराए । तिनले त्यो पलिस्तीलाई हिर्काए र उसलाई मारे । दाऊदको हातमा कुनै तरवार थिएन ।
51 And David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him completely, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.
अनि दाऊद दौडेर गए र त्यो पलिश्तीमाथि खडा भए, उसको तरवारलाई त्यसको म्यानबाट झिके, उसलाई मारे र त्यसले उसको शिर काटे । जब पलिश्तीहरूले आफ्नो वीर मानिस मरेको देखे, तब तिनीहरू भागे ।
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down on the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
त्यसपछि इस्राएलका र यहूदका मानिसहरू चिच्याहटसँगै उठे पलिश्तीहरूलाई मैदान र एक्रोनको ढोकासम्म लखेटे । पलिश्तीहरूका मृत शरीर शारैम जाने बाटोदेखि गात र एक्रोन जाने बाटोभरि छरिएको थियो ।
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they pillaged their camps.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेदेर फर्के र तिनीहरूले उनीहरूको छाउनी लूटे ।
54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
दाऊदले त्यो पलिश्तीको शिर लिए र त्यो यरूशलेममा ल्याए, तर उसको हतियारचाहिं तिनले आफ्नो पालमा राखे ।
55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
जब दाऊद त्यो पलिश्तीको विरुद्धमा निस्केको शाऊलले देखे, तब तिनले फौजको कप्तान अबनेरलाई भने, “अबनेर, यो जवान केटा कसको छोरा हो?” अबनेरले भने, “हे महाराजा, तपाईं जीवित हुनुभएझैं, मलाई थाहा छैन ।”
56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son this youth is.
राजाले भने, “त्यो केटा कसका छोरा हुन् चिन्नेहरूलाई सोध ।”
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
जब त्यो पलिश्तीलाई मारेर दाऊद फर्के, अबनेरले तिनलाई लगे, र तिनको हातमा त्यो पलिश्तीको शिरसँगै तिनलाई शाऊलको सामु ल्याए ।
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? And David said, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
शाऊलले तिनलाई सोधे, “हे जवान मानिस, तिमी कसका छोरा हौ?” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईंको दास बेथलेहेमी यिशैको छोरा हुँ ।”
