2 Samuel 12
1 The Lord sent Nathan to see David. When he got there, he said, “Once there were two men living in the same town. One was rich, and one was poor.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले नातानलाई दाऊदकहाँ पठाउनुभयो । उनी तिनीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “कुनै सहरमा दुई जना मानिस बस्थे । एक जना धनी थिए र अर्कोचाहिं गरीब थिए ।
2 The rich man had many thousands of sheep and cattle,
धनी मानिसको ठुलो संख्यामा भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु थिए,
3 but the poor man didn't have anything but one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He cared for it, and it grew up with him and his children. It would eat from his plate and drank from his cup. It slept on his lap and was like a daughter to him.
तर त्यो गरीब मानिससित भेडको एउटा पाठीबाहेक केही पनि थिएन, जसलाई त्यसले किनेर ल्याएको, र खुवाएर हुर्काएको थियो । त्यो उसँग र उसका छोराछोरीसँगै हुर्क्यो । यो पाठीले उसँगै खान्थ्यो, उसैको कचौराबाट पिउँथ्यो, र उसकै काखमा सुत्थ्यो र उसको छोरीजस्तै थियो ।
4 One day the rich man had a visitor. He didn't want to take one of his own sheep or cattle to feed his visitor. He took the poor man's lamb instead to prepare a meal for his visitor.”
एक दिन त्यो धनी मानिसको घरमा एक जना पाहुना आए, तर तिनलाई खाना दिन त्यो धनी मानिसले आफ्नो भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु एउटा पशु लिन पनि इच्छुक भएन । बरु, त्यसले त्यो गरीब मानिसको भेडाको पाठी लियो र त्यो आफ्नो पाहुनाको निम्ति पकाइदियो ।”
5 David became absolutely furious with what that man did, and angrily told Nathan. “As the Lord lives, the man who did this should be put to death!
दाऊद त्यो धनी मानिसप्रति रिसले आगो भए र नातानसँग जङ्गिए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसले यसो गर्यो त्यो मारिन योग्य छ ।
6 He must repay that lamb with four of his own for doing this, for being so heartless.”
त्यो पाठीको चार गुणा त्यसले फिर्ता गर्नुपर्छ किनभने त्यसले यस्तो दुष्ट कुरा गरेको छ र त्यसले गरीब मानिसमाथ कुनै दया देखाएन ।”
7 “You are that man!” Nathan told David. “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel, and I saved you from Saul.
त्यसपछि नातानले दाऊदलाई भने, “त्यो मानिस तपाईं नै हो! परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले तँलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरें र मैले तँलाई शाऊलको हातबाट बचाएँ ।
8 I gave your master's house to you and placed your master's wives in your lap. I gave you the kingdom of Israel and Judah, and if that hadn't been enough, I would have given you so much more.
मैले तँलाई तेरो मालिकको घराना र तेरो मालिकका पत्नीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा दिएँ । मैले तँलाई इस्राएल र यहूदाको घराना पनि दिएँ । तर त्यसले नपुगेको भए, मैले तँलाई यसको अतिरिक्त अरू धेरै कुरा दिने थिएँ ।
9 So why have you treated what Lord said with contempt by doing evil in his sight? You killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword and stole his wife—you killed him using the sword of the Ammonites.
त्यसैले तैंले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ त्यही गरेर उहाँको आज्ञालाई किन तुच्छ ठानिस्? तैंले हित्ती उरियाहलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरिस् र त्यसको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नै पत्नी हुनलाई लगेको छस् । तैंले अम्मोनको फौजको तरवारले त्यसलाई मारिस् ।
10 So your descendants will always face the sword that kills because you treated me with contempt and stole Uriah's wife.
त्यसैले अब तरवारले तेरो घरानालाई कहिल्यै छोड्ने छैन, किनभने तैंले मलाई घृणा गरेको छस् र हित्ती उरियाहको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नो पत्नीको रूपमा लिएको छस् ।'
11 This is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring disaster in you from your own family. I will take your wives before your very eyes and give them to someone else, and he will sleep openly with your wives where everyone can see.
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म तेरो आफ्नै घरानाबाट विपद् ल्याउने छु । तेरै आफ्नै आँखाको सामु तेरा पत्नीहरूलाई म लिने छु र ती तेरो छिमेकीलाई दिने छु, र दिनको उज्यालोमा त्यो तेरा पत्नीहरूसित सुत्ने छ ।
12 You did it all in secret, but I will do it openly where everyone in all of Israel can see.”
किनकि तैंले आफ्नो पाप गोप्य रूपमा गरिस्, तर म यो सारा इस्राएलको सामु घामको उज्यालोमा गर्ने छु’ ।”
13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” “The Lord has forgiven your sins. You're not going to die,” Nathan replied.
तब दाऊदले नातानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु ।” नातानले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंको पापलाई हटाइदिनुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई मारिने छैन ।
14 “But because by doing this you have treated the Lord with complete contempt, the son you have will die.”
तापनि, यो कामद्वारा तपाईंले परमप्रभुलाई तुच्छ तुल्याउनुभएको हुनाले, तपाईंबाट जन्मने बालकचाहिं निश्चय नै मार्ने छ ।”
15 Then Nathan went home. The Lord made the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David become very sick.
त्यसपछि नातान विदा भए र घर गए । उरियाहको पत्नीले दाऊदबाट जन्माएको बालकलाई परमप्रभुले प्रहार गर्नुभयो र त्यो गम्भीर बिरामी भयो ।
16 David pleaded with God on behalf of the boy. He fasted, went to his bedroom, and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
दाऊदले त्यो केटाको निम्ति परमप्रभुसँग बिन्ती गरे । दाऊद उपवास बसे र भित्र गए र रातभरि भुईंमा पल्टिरहे ।
17 His senior officials approached him and tried to help him up from the ground, but he didn't want to, and he refused their appeals to eat.
तिनका घरानाका ठुलाहरू उठे र तिनलाई भुईंबाट उठाउन तिनको छेउमा खडा भए, तर तिनी उठेनन् र तिनले तिनीहरूसँग केही पनि खाएनन् ।
18 On the seventh day the child died. But David's officials were scared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said to each other, “Look, while the child was still alive, we talked with him, and he refused to listen to us. How on earth can we tell him the child is dead? He may do something really bad!”
सातौं दिनमा त्यो बालक मर्यो । त्यो बालक मर्यो भनेर दाऊदका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भन्न डराए, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, त्यो बालक जीवितै हुँदा हामीले उहँसित बोल्यौं र उहाँले हाम्रा कुरा सुन्नुभएन । हामीले त्यो बालक मर्यो भन्यौं भने, उहाँले आफूलाई के गर्नुहोला?”
19 But David saw his officials were whispering among themselves, he realized that the child was dead. So he asked his officials, “Did the child die?” “Yes, he died,” they replied.
तर जब दाऊदले आफ्ना सेवकहरूले आपसमा कानेखुसी गरिरहेको देखे, तब बालक मरेछ भनी दाऊदले थाहा पाए । तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “के त्यो बालक मर्यो?” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “त्यो मर्यो ।”
20 David got up from the ground, washed and put on scented oils, and changed his clothes. Then he went to the house of the Lord and worshiped. Afterwards he went back home, and asked for some food. So they served him a meal which he ate.
तब दाऊद भुईंबाट उठे र आफू नुहाए, आफूलाई तेल घसे र आफ्ना लुगा फेरे । तिनी परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानमा गए र त्यहाँ आराधना गरे र त्यसपछि आफ्नो दरबारमा फर्केर आए । तिनले खाने कुराहरू मागेपछि, तिनीहरूले खाने कुरा दिए र तिनले खाए ।
21 “Why are you acting like this?” his officials asked him. “While the child was still alive, you fasted and cried aloud, but now that he's dead, you get up and eat.”
तब तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंले किन यसो गर्नुभएको छ? त्यो बालक जिउँदो हुँदा तपाईं उपवास बस्नुभयो र रुनुभयो, तर जब बालक मर्यो, तब तपाईं उठ्नुभयो र खानुभयो ।”
22 David replied, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and cried aloud, for I thought to myself, ‘Who knows? Maybe the Lord will be gracious to me and let him live.’
दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “बालक जीवित हुँदा म उपवास बसें र रोएँ । मैले भनें, 'कसले जान्दछ कतै परमप्रभु अनुग्रही हुनुहुने छ ताकि बालक बाँच्न सकोस्?'
23 But now that he's dead, what's the point for me to go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? One day I will die and go to him, but he will never come back to me.”
तर अब त्यो मर्यो, त्यसैले म किन उपवास बस्ने? के म त्यसलाई फेरि फर्काएर ल्याउन सक्छु र? म त्यसकहाँ जाने छु, तर त्यो मकहाँ फर्केर आउने छैन ।”
24 David consoled his wife Bathsheba, and he made love to her. She gave birth to a son, and named him Solomon. The Lord loved the child,
दाऊदले आफ्नी पत्नी बतशेबालाई सान्त्वना दिए र उनकहाँ गए र उनीसँग सुते । पछि उनले एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् र त्यो बालककको नाउँ सोलोमन राखियो । परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो
25 so he sent a message through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah, because the Lord loved him.
र तिनको नाउँ यददीयाह राख्नू भनी उहाँले नातान अगमवक्ताद्वारा सन्देश पठाउनुभयो, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो ।
26 At this time Joab had been fighting against the Ammonite town of Rabbah, and had captured the royal fortress.
यति बेला योआबले अम्मोनीहरूको रब्बाको विरुद्ध युद्ध गरे र तिनले राजकीय सहर कब्जा गरे ।
27 Joab sent messengers to David to tell him, “I have attacked Rabbah and I have also captured its water supply.
त्यसैले योआबले दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए र भने, “मैले रब्बाको विरुद्धमा युद्ध लडेको छु र मैले सहरको पानीको आपुर्तीलाई कब्जा गरेको छु ।
28 So please call up the rest of the army, besiege the town, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and I will get the credit.”
यसकारण बाँकी फौजलाई भेला गर्नुहोस् र यो सहर विरुद्ध छआउनी हाल्नुहोस् र यसलाई कब्जा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि मैले त्यो सहर लिएँ भने, त्यसलाई मेरो नाउँ दिइने छ ।
29 So David called up the rest of the army and marched on Rabbah. He attacked it and captured it.
त्यसैले दाऊदले सबै फौजलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे र रब्बातिर गए । तिनले त्यो सहरको विरुद्ध युद्ध लडे र त्यो कब्जा गरे ।
30 He took the crown from the head of their king, and it was placed on David's head. It weighed a talent of gold and was decorated with precious stones. David took a large amount of plunder from the town.
दाऊदले तिनीहरूका राजाको शिरबाट शिरपेच लिए, यसको तौल एक तोडा सुन थियो, र त्यसमा बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू थिए । त्यो शिरपेच दाऊदको आफ्नै शिरमा लगाइयो । त्यसपछि तिनले त्यस सहरको लुटका मालहरू ठुलो मात्रामा लिएर आए ।
31 David took the inhabitants and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he also made them work making bricks. He did the same in all the Ammonite towns. Then David and the whole Israelite army returned to Jerusalem.
तिनले त्यस सहरमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई लिएर आए, र तिनीहरूलाई आराहरू, फलामको हतियारको र बन्चरोको कामहरू गर्न बाध्य पारे । तिनले उनीहरूलाई इँटको भट्टाहरूमा काम गर्न लगाए । दाऊदले अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका सबै सहरलाई यो श्रमको काम गर्न लगाए । तब दाऊद र सबै फौज यरूशलेम फर्के ।
