< 2 Samuel 4 >
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were affrighted.
जब शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले हेब्रोनमा अबनेरको मृत्यु भयो भनी सुने, तब तिनको हातहरू कमजोर भए र सारा इस्राएल पीडामा पर्यो ।
2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin; for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin;
शाऊलका छोराका दुई जना मानिस थिए जो सिपाहरूका समूहहरूका कप्तानहरू थिए । एक जनाको नाउँ बानाह र अर्काको नाउँ रेकाब थियो, जो बेन्यामीनको मानिस बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू थिए (किनभने बेरोतलाई बेन्यामीनको हिस्सा ठानिन्छ,
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day.
र बेरोतीहरू गित्तैममा भागेर गए र आजसम्म पनि तिनीहरू त्यहीं बसिरहेका छन् ।)
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
शाऊलका छोरा जोनातनका एक जना छोरा थिए जसको खुट्टो लङ्गडो थियो । यिजरेलबाट शाऊल र जोनाथनको खबर आउँदा तिनी पाँच वर्षका थिए । भाग्नलाई तिनको धाईले तिनलाई बोकिन् । तर तिनी दौडँदै गर्दा, जोनाथनका छोरा खसे र लङ्गडो भए । तिनको नाउँ मेपीबोशेत थियो ।
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon.
त्यसैले बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रेकाब र बानाह दिनको चर्को घाममा ईश्बोशेतको घरतिर जान हिंडेर मध्यन्हमा आराम गरिरहँदा तिनको घरमा पुगे ।
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him in the groin; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
ढोकाको स्त्री पाले गहूँ ओसार्दै गर्दा मस्त निदाएकी थिइन् र रेकाब र बानाह बिस्तार हिंडे र तिनलाई पार गरेर गए ।
7 Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bed-chamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
यसरी तिनीहरू घरभित्र पसेपछि, तिनी आफ्नो कोठाको ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहेको बेला तिनीहरूले तिनलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई मारे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तिनको टाउको काटे र बोकेर रातभरि अराबातिर जाने बाटो हिंडे ।
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king: 'Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, who sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.'
तिनीहरूले ईश्बोशेतको टाउको हेब्रोनमा दाऊदकहाँ ल्याए र तिनीहरूले राजालाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, यो तपाईंको जीवन लिन खोज्ने तपाईंको शत्रु शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतको टाउको हो । आज परमप्रभुले शाऊल र तिनका सन्तानहरूको विरुद्धमा हाम्रो मालिक राजाको बद्ला लिनुभएको छ ।”
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them: 'As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
दाऊदले बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रेकाब र बानाहलाई जावफ दिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मेरो जीवन हरेक कष्टबाट बचाउनुभयो,
10 when one told me, saying: Behold, Saul is dead, and he was in his own eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, instead of giving a reward for his tidings.
जब कसैले मलाई त्यसले शुभखबर ल्याउँदैछ भन्ने ठानी 'हेर्नुहोस्, शाऊल मरेको छ,' भन्यो, मैले त्यसलाई समातें र सिक्लगमा मारें । त्यसको खबरको निम्ति मैले त्यसलाई त्यो इनाम दिएँ ।
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?'
झन दुष्ट मानिसहरूले एक जना निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो घरमा आफ्नै ओछ्यानमा मार्दा, के मैले तिमीहरूको हातबाट त्यसको रगतको बदला लिएर तिमीहरूलाई पृथ्वीबाट नहटाउँ?”
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
त्यसपछि दाऊदले जवान मानिसहरूलाई हुकुम गरे र उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई मारे अनि तिनीहरूका हातहरू र खुट्टाहरू काटेर हेब्रोनको तलाउनेर झुण्ड्याए । तर तिनीहरू ईश्बोशेतको टाउकोलाई लिए र त्यसलाई हेब्रोनमा अबनेरको चिहानमा गाडे ।
