2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
यसपछि दाऊदले परमप्रभुलाई सोधे र भने, “के म यहूदाका सहरमध्ये कुनै एउटामा जाऊँ?” पमरप्रभुले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “उक्लेर जा ।” दाऊदले भने, “म कुन सहरमा जाऊँ?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “हेब्रोनमा जा ।”
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
त्यसैले दाऊद तिनकी दुई पत्नीहरू यिजरेली अहीनोम र नाबालकी विधवा कार्मेली अबीगेलसहित माथि गए ।
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
दाऊदले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूलाई हेब्रोनमा ल्याए र तिनीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्नो परिवारहरू ल्याए, जहाँ तिनीहरू बसोबास गर्न थाले ।
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul.
त्यसपछि यहूदाका मानिसहरू आए र दाऊदलाई यहूदाको राजा अभिषेक गरे । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “याबेश- गिलादका मानिसहरूले शाऊलको दफन गरे ।”
5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!
त्यसैले दाऊदले याबेश-गिलादमा दूतहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई परमप्रभुले आशिष् दिनुभएको होस्, किनभने तिमीहरूले आफ्ना मालिक शाऊलप्रति यो बफदारीता देखाएका छौ र उनको दफन गरेका छौ
6 And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.
अब परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई करारको बफदारीता र विश्वासनीयता प्रकट गर्नुभएको होस् । म पनि तिमीहरूको भलो गर्ने छु किनभने तिमीहरूले यो काम गरेका छौ ।
7 And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
अब उप्रान्त, तिमीहरूको हात बलियो पार । साहसी होओ किनकि तिमीहरूका मालिक शाऊल मरेका छन् र यहूदाका घरानाले मलाई आफ्ना राजा अभिषेक गरेका छन् ।”
8 And Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
तर शाऊलका फौजका कमाण्डरले नेरका छोरा अबनेरले शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतलाई लिए र महनोममा ल्याए ।
9 and made him king over Gilead, and over the Asshurites, and over Jizreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
उनले ईश्बोशेतलाई गिलाद, आशेर, यिजरेल, एफ्राइम, बेन्यामीन र सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए ।
10 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. However, the house of Judah followed David.
शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी चालिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे । तर यहूदाको घरानाले दाऊदलाई नै पछ्याए ।
11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
दाऊद हेब्रोनमा यहूदाको घरानाको राजा भएका समय सात वर्ष छ महिना थियो ।
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
नेरका छोरा अबनेर र शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतका सेवकहरू महनोमबाट गिबोनमा गए ।
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool.
सरूयाहका छोरा योआब र दाऊदका सेवकहरू निस्के र तिनीहरूलाई गिबोनको तलाउनेर भेटे । त्यहाँ तिनीहरू एक समूह तलाउको एक छेउमा र अर्को समूह अर्को छेउमा बसे ।
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
अबनेरले योआबलाई भने, “जवान मानिसहरू उठुन् र हाम्रो सामुन्ने प्रतिस्पर्धा गरून् ।” योआबले भने, “तिनीहरू उठुन् ।”
15 And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
त्यसपछि जवान मानिसहरू उठे र बेन्यामीन र शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतका निम्ति बाह्र जना र दाऊदका निम्ति बाह्र जना सँगै भेला भए ।
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
हरेकले आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीलाई टाउकोमा समात्यो र आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीको कोखामा आ-आफ्नो तरवारले रोपे र तिनीहरू एकसाथ भुईंमा ढले । यसकारण, त्यस ठाउँलाई “हल्कत-हज्जुरीम” वा “तरवाको मैदान” भनियो जुन गिबोन हो ।
17 And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
त्यस दिन घमसान लडाइँ भयो र अबनेर र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू दाऊदका सेवकहरूको सामुन्ने परास्त भए ।
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field.
सरूयाहका छोराहरू योआब, अबीशै र असाहेल थिए । असाहेल हरिण जत्तिकै छिटो दौडन सक्ने व्यक्ति थिए ।
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner.
असाहेल नजिकबाट अबनेरलाई खेदे र तिनी दाहिने-देब्रे कतै नलागी खेदे ।
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am.
अबनेरले तिनलाई पछाडि हेरे र भने, “के तिमी असाहेल हौ?” तिनले भने, “हो, म हुँ ।”
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “दाहिने वा देब्रेतिर लाग जवान मानिसमध्ये एक जनालाई समातेर त्यसको हतियार लेऊ ।” तर असाहेलले यताउता फर्केनन् ।
22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
त्यसैले अबनेरले असाहेललाई फेरि भने, “मलाई खेद्न छोडिदेऊ । मैले तिमीलाई किन मारेर भुईंमा ढाल्ने? त्यसपछि मैले तिम्रो दाजु योआबकहाँ मेरो अनुहार कसरी देखाउनु?”
23 But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
तर असाहेलले तर्केर जान इन्कार गरे, र त्यसैले अबनेरले तिनलाई आफनो भालाको टुप्पोले शरीरमा रोपे, र भाला अर्कोपट्टि निस्क्यो । असाहेल ढले र त्यहीँ नै मरे । त्यसैले असाहेल ढलेर मरेका ठाउँमा आउने जो आउँथ्यो, त्यो रोकिन्थ्यो र खडा हुन्थ्यो ।
24 And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
तर योआब र अबीशैले अबनेरलाई खेदिरहे । जब घाम डुब्न गइरहेको थियो, तिनीहरू अम्मा डाँडामा आइपुगे, जुन गिबोनको उजाडस्थान जाने बाटोको नजिक गीहनेर पर्छ ।
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill.
बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू सबै अबनेरको पछाडि भेला भए र डाँडाको टाकुरामा खडा भए ।
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
त्यसपछि अबनेरले कराएर योआबलाई भने, “के सधैं तरवारले नाश गर्नैपर्छ? के त्यो अन्तमा तितो हुन्छ भनी तिमी जान्दैनौ? तिम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तिमीले आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई खेद्न छोड भन्नुभन्दा पहिले कति लामो समय हुने छ?”
27 And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
योआबले जवाफ दिए, “जस्तो परमेश्वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमीले त्यसो नभनेको भए मेरा सिपाहीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई बिहानसम्म नै खेद्ने थिए ।”
28 And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.
त्यसैले योआबले तुरही फुके र तिनका सबै मानिसहरू रोकिए र फेरि इस्राएललाई खेदेनन् नत तिनीहरूले फेरि युद्ध गरे ।
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
अबनेर र तिनका मानिसहरूले अराबाहुँदै रातभरि यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरू यर्दन तरे, भोलि बिहानभरि हिंडे र त्यसपछि महनोममा पुगे ।
30 And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
योआब अबनेरलाई लखेट्न छाडेर फर्के । तिनले आफ्ना सबै मानिसलाई भेला पारे जसमा असाहेल र दाऊदका उन्नाइस जना सिपाही मात्र भेट्टाइएनन् ।
31 And the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men, who had died.
तर दाऊदका मानिसहरूले अबनेरसँग भएका ३६० जना मानिसलाई मारेका थिए ।
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
त्यसपछि तिनीहरूके असाहेललाई लिए तिनका बुबाको चिहानमा गाडे, जुन बेथलेहेममा थियो । योआब र तिनका मानिसहरूले रातभरि यात्रा गरे र झिसमिसमा हेब्रोन पुगे ।
