2 Samuel 3
1 There was a long war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David. David's side grew stronger, while Saul's side grew weaker.
अब शाऊलका घराना र दाऊदका घरानाका बिच लामो समयसम्म युद्ध भइरह्यो । दाऊद झन्-झन् बलियो हुँदै गए, तर शाऊलको घराना झन्-झन् कमजोर हुँदै गयो ।
2 David's sons born at Hebron were: Amnon (firstborn), by Ahinoam from Jezreel;
हेब्रोनमा दाऊदका छोराहरू जन्मे । तिनका जेठा छोरा यिजरेली अहीनोमबाट जन्मेका अमनोन थिए ।
3 Chileab (second), by Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel; Absalom (third), by Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur:
तिनका महिला छोरा नाबबालकी विधवा कर्मेली अबीगेलबाट जन्मेका किलाब थिए । साहिंला छोरा अब्शालोम, जो गशूरका राजा तल्मैकी छोरी माकाका छोरा थिए ।
4 Adonijah (fourth), by Haggith; Shephatiah (fifth), by Abital;
दाऊदका कहिंलो छोरा अदोनियाहचाहिं हग्गीतका छोरा थिए । तिनका ठाहिंला छोरा शपत्याहचाहिं अबीतलका छोरा थिए,
5 Ithream (sixth), by David's wife Eglah. These were the sons born to David at Hebron.
कान्छो छोरा यित्राम दाऊदकी पत्नी एग्लाका छोरा थिए । होब्रोनमा जन्मेका दाऊदका छोराहरू यिनै थिए ।
6 Abner had been strengthening his position among the supporters of Saul's dynasty during the war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David.
शाऊलका घराना र दाऊदका घराना बिचको युद्धको समयमा शाऊलको घरानामा अबनेरले आफूलाई निकै शक्तिशाली बनाए ।
7 Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, daughter of Aiah. One day Ishbosheth accused Abner, saying “Why have you been sleeping with my father's concubine?”
अय्याकी छोरी रिश्पा शाऊलकी उपपत्नी थिइन् । ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई भने, “तिमी मेरो बुबाको उपपत्नीसँग किन सुतेको?”
8 Abner got extremely angry at Ishbosheth accusation. “Am I a dog's head siding with Judah?” he replied. “Right up to the present day I have been loyal to your dynasty—to your father Saul, and to his brothers and friends. I haven't betrayed you to David. But now you dare to accuse me of sinning with this woman!
त्यसपछि ईश्बोशेतको कुराले अबनेर रिसले आगो भए र भने, “के म यहूदाको कुकुर हुँ? आज म तपाईंलाई दाऊदको हातमा नसुम्पेर तपाईंको बुबा शाऊको घराना, तिनका भाइहरू र तिनका मित्रहरूप्रति बफदारीता देखाइरहेको छु । तर अहिले तपाईंले मलाई यो स्त्रीको बारेको अपराधको दोष लगानुहुन्छ?
9 So now may God punish me severely if I don't help David achieve what the Lord has promised him.
पमरप्रभुले गर्छु भनी दऊदसित शपथ खानुभएझैं मैले तिनलाई गरिनँ भने, परमेश्वरले म अबनेरलाई यो वा योभन्दा बढी गर्नुभएको होस्,
10 I will hand over the kingdom from Saul's dynasty, and help set up David's rule over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
जसमा शाऊलको घरानाको राज्य हस्तान्तरण गर्न, र इस्राएलमाथि र यहूदामाथि दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मै दाऊदको सिंहासन स्थापित गर्न ।”
11 Ishbosheth didn't dare to say anything else to Abner because he was frightened of him.
ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई अर्को शब्द केही पनि भन्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीसँग उनी डराए ।
12 Then Abner sent messengers to speak for him to David, saying, “Who does the country belong to anyway? Make an agreement with me, and you can be sure I'll be on your side to have all of Israel follow you.”
त्यसपछि अबनेरले यसो भन्दै दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए, “यो देश कसको हो? मसँग एउटा करार गर्नुहोस् र सारा इस्राएललाई तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउन मेरो हात तपाईंसँग भएको तपाईंले देख्नुहुने छ ।”
13 “Fine,” David replied, “I'll make an agreement with you. But I have one condition: I won't see you unless you bring Saul's daughter Michal when you come.”
दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “राम्रो, तिमीसँग एउटा करार गर्नेछु । तर तिमी मलाई भेट्न आउँदा म तिमीबाट एउटा कुरा चाहन्छु, पहिले शाऊलकी छोरी मीकल नल्याएसम्म तिमीले मेरो मुख हेर्न पाउने छैनौ ।”
14 Then David sent messengers tell Ishbosheth, son of Saul, “Give me back my wife Michal—I paid a dowry for her of one hundred Philistine foreskins.”
त्यसपछि दाऊदले यसो भन्दै शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए, “मलाई मेरी पत्नी मीकल देऊ, जसलाई मैले सय जना पलिश्तीको खलडीको मूल्य तिरें ।”
15 Ishbosheth sent for her and took her away from her husband Paltiel, son of Laish.
त्यसैले ईश्बोशेतले मीकललाई लिन पठाए र तिनलाई तिनको पति लैशका छोरा पल्तिएलकहाँबाट ल्याए ।
16 Her husband followed her to the town of Bahurim, crying as he went. Then Abner ordered him, “Go back home!” So he went home.
तिनको पति रुँदै-रुँदै तिनसँगै गए र बहूरीमसम्म तिनलाई पछ्याए । तब अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “अब घर फर्क ।” त्यसैले तिनी फर्के ।
17 Abner spoke with the elders of Israel and said, “For a while now you have wanted to have David as your king.
अबनेरले इस्राएलका धर्म-गरुहरूसित यसो भनेर कुरा गरे, “विगतमा तपाईंहरूले दाऊदलाई आफ्ना राजा बनाउने प्रयास गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
18 Now is the time to do it, because the Lord promised David, ‘Through my servant David I am going to save my people Israel from the Philistines and all their enemies.’”
अब यो काम गर्नुहोस् । किनकि परमप्रभुले दाऊदसित यसो भनेर बोल्नुभएको छ, 'म आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूका हात र तिनीहरूका सबै शत्रुका हातबाट मेरो दास दाऊदको हातद्वारा नै बचाउने छु' ।”
19 Abner also talked to the people of Benjamin, and went to Hebron to let David know everything that the Israelites and the whole tribe of Benjamin had decided to do.
अबनेर आफैले पनि बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूसँग व्यक्तिगत रूपले कुरा गरे । त्यसपछि इस्राएल र बेन्यामीनका सम्पूर्ण घरानाले गर्न इच्छा गरेका सबै कुरा बताउन अबनेर दाऊदसँग कुरा गर्न हेब्रोनमा गए ।
20 Abner came with twenty of his men to see David at Hebron, and David prepared a feast for them.
जब अबनेर र तिनका बिस जना मानिसहरू दाऊदलाई भेट्न हेब्रोनमा आइपुगे, तब दाऊदले तिनीहरूका निम्ति भोज तयार गरे ।
21 Abner told David, “Let me go immediately and summon all of Israel to come together for my lord the king, so they may make an agreement with you, and that you may rule over all you would wish.” Then David sent Abner safely on his way.
अबनेरले दाऊदलाई सविस्तार बताए, “हे मेरो मालिक राजा, म उठेर सबै इस्राएललाई तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउने छु, ताकि तिनीहरूले तपाईंसँग करार बाँधुन् र सबैमाथि तपाईंले इच्छा गर्नुभएबमोजिम तपाईंले शासन गर्न सक्नुभएको होस् ।” यसैले दाऊदले अबनेरलाई पठाइदिए र अबनेर शान्तिसित विदा भए ।
22 Soon after Joab and David's men came back from a raid, bringing with them a large amount of plunder. However, Abner wasn't there with David in Hebron because David had already sent him safely on his way in peace.
त्यसपछि दाऊदका सिपाहीहरू र योआब लुटपिट गरेर आए र आफ्नो साथमा धेरै लुटका मालहरू ल्याए । तर अबनेरचाहिं हेब्रोनमा दाऊदसँग थिएनन् । दाऊदले तिनलाई पठाइसकेका थिए र अबनेर शान्तिसँग विदा भएका थिए ।
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him arrived, he was told, “Abner, son of Ner, came to see the king, who sent him safely on his way.”
जब योआब र तिनीसँग भएका सबै फौज आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले योआबलाई भने, “नेरका छोरा अबनेर राजाकहाँ आए र राजाले तिनलाई शान्तिसँग पठाउनुभएको छ र अबनेर शान्तिसँग विदा भए ।”
24 Joab went to the king and asked, “What do you think you're doing? Here's Abner, who came to see you. Why on earth did you send him on his way? Now he's got clean away!
तब योआब राजाकहाँ आए र भने, “तपाईंले य के गर्नुभएको छ? हेर्नुहोस्, अबनेर तपाईंकहाँ आए! तपाईंले तिनलाई किन पठाउनुभएको छ र तिनी गएका छन्?
25 You do see that Abner, son of Ner, came here to trick you, to spy on the movements of your army, and to find out everything you're doing!”
नेरका छोरा अबनेर तपाईंलाई छल्न गर्न र तपाईंका योजनाहरू र तपाईंले गरिरहेका हरेक कुरा पत्ता लगाउन आएका होइनन् र?”
26 When Joab left David, he sent messengers after Abner. They met up with him at the well of Sirah and brought him back, but David didn't know anything about it.
जब योआब दाऊदकहाँबाट गए, तब तिनले अबनेरको पछि-पछि दूतहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सीराको इनारबाट फर्काए ल्याए, तर दाऊदलाई यो कुरा थाहा थिएन ।
27 When Abner arrived back in Hebron, Joab took him aside into the town gatehouse as if he was going to talk with him in private. But Joab stabbed him in the belly, killing him in revenge for killing Joab's brother Asahel.
जब अबनेर हेब्रोनमा फर्के, तिनीसित गोप्य रूपले कुरा गर्नलाई योआबले तिनलाई बिच ढोकाको एकातिर लिएर गए । त्यहाँ योआबले तिनलाई पेटमा घोचे र तिनलाई मारे । यसरी योआबले आफ्नो भाइ असाहेलको रगतको बदला लिए ।
28 When David heard about this later he said, “I and my kingdom are totally innocent before the Lord regarding the death of Abner, son of Ner!
जब दाऊदले यस कुराको बारेमा सुने, तब तिनले भने, “नेरका छोरा अबनेरको रगतको सम्बन्धमा म र मेरो राज्य सदासर्वदा परमप्रभुको सामु निर्दोष छौं ।
29 May the guilt for his death fall on Joab and his family! May Joab's descendants always have someone who has running sores or leprosy or is crippled or who is killed by the sword or who is starving.”
अबनेरको मृत्यको दोष योआब र तिनको बुबाको सारा घरानाको शिरमाथि नै परोस् । योआबको परिवारमा घाउ-खटिरा हुने वा छालाको रोग हुने वा लङ्गडो वा लट्ठीको साहाराले हिंड्ने वा खानाविना भौंतारिने मानिस कहिल्यै नटुटोस् ।”
30 (This is why Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel during the battle at Gibeon.)
यसरी योआब र तिनका भाइ अबीशैले अबनेरलाई मारे, किनभने तिनले गिबोनको युद्धमा तिनीहरूका भाइ असाहेललाई मारेका थिए ।
31 Then David ordered Joab and everyone who was there, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn for Abner.” King David himself followed the body as it was carried to the grave.
दाऊदले योआब र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसलाई यसो भने, “आफ्नो लुगा च्यात, भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ र अबनेरको मृत शरीको सामु विलाप गर ।” दाऊद राजा मृत्यु संस्कारको लस्करमा लासको पछि-पछि हिंडे ।
32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king cried loudly at the grave, along with all the people.
तिनीहरूले अबनेरलाई हेब्रोनमा गाडे । अबनेरको चिहानमा राजा ठुलो धुरु-धुरु रोए र सबै मानिसहरू पनि रोए ।
33 The king sang this lament for Abner: “Did Abner deserve to die like a criminal?
राजाले अबनेरको निम्ति विलाप गरे र गित गाए, “के अबनेरले मूर्खले झैं मर्नुपर्छ?
34 Your hands were not tied together, your feet were not in shackles. But just like a murderer's victim, you too were killed.” All the people cried for him even more.
तिम्रा हातहरू बाँधिएका थिएनन् । तिम्रा खुट्टाहरू साङ्लाले बाँधिएका थिएनन् । एक जना मानिस अन्यायीको छोराको सामु ढलेझैं, तिमी पनि ढल्यौ ।” फेरि एक पल्ट सबै मानिस तिनको निम्ति रोए ।
35 Then people came to David and tried to persuade him to have something to eat during the day. But David swore an oath, saying, “May God punish me severely if I eat bread or anything else before sunset!”
दिन छँदा नै दाऊदललाई खान मनाउन सबे मानिस आए तर दाऊदले शपथ खाए, “घाम नडुबेसम्म मैले रोटी वा कुनै कुरा चाखें भने परमेश्वरले मलाई यो वा योभन्दा बढ्ता गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
36 Everyone saw this and thought it was the right thing to do, in the same way that they thought everything the king did was the right thing to do.
सबै मानिसले दाऊदको विलापलाई ख्याल गरे र यसले तिनीहरूलाई प्रशन्न तुल्यायो । दाऊदले जे गरे त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।
37 That day everyone in Judah and throughout Israel realized that David had not ordered Abner's murder.
त्यसैले नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई मार्ने इच्छा राजाको थिएन भन्ने सारा मानिस र सारा इस्राएलले बुझे ।
38 Then the king said to his officers, “Don't you recognize that a commander and a truly great man has fallen in Israel today?
राजाले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “आजको दिन इस्राएलमा एक जना शासक र महान् मानिस मरेका छन् भनी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?
39 I am weak right now, even though I'm anointed as king and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too powerful for me. But may the Lord repay the evil man according to the evil he has done.”
म अभिषिक्त राजा भएर पनि अहिले म कमजोर भएको छु । यी मानिसहरू, सरूयाहका छोराहरू मप्रति साह्रै निर्दयी भएका छन् । तिनको दुष्टता सुहाउँदो दण्ड परमप्रभुले तिनलाई दिनुभएको होस् ।”
