< 1 Kings 2 >

1 And when the days of David drew near that he should die, he charged Solomon his son, saying,
दाऊदको मर्ने दिन नजिकिँदै गर्दा तिनले आफ्ना छोरा सोलोमनलाई यसो भने,
2 I am going the way of all the earth; but be thou strong, and become a man;
“संसारको रीतझैँ म पनि मर्दै छु । त्यसकारण, बलिया होऊ, र आफैलाई मर्द साबित गर ।
3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses; in order that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
मोशाको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएका परमप्रभु तिम्रा परमेश्वरका मार्गहरूमा हिँड्न, उहाँका विधिहरू, आज्ञाहरू, निर्णयहरू र उहाँका करारका आदेशहरू पालन गर्न होसियार होऊ ताकि तिमी जता गए पनि तिमीले गर्ने सबै काममा तिम्रो उन्नति होस्,
4 In order that the Lord may fulfill his word which he hath spoken concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall never fail thee, said he, a man on the throne of Israel.
ताकि परमप्रभुले मेरो बारेमा यसो भन्नुभएको वचन उहाँले पुरा गर्नुभएको होस्, 'तेरा छोराहरूले तिनीहरूका सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले विश्वसनीयतासाथ मेरो सामु हिँड्न होसियारीपूर्वक आफ्ना आचरणको रेखदेख गरे भने इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा बस्ने उत्तराधिकारीको कहिल्यै अभाव हुने छैन ।'
5 And thou also knowest well what Joab the son of Zeruyah hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto 'Amassa the son of Yether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and on his shoes that were on his feet.
सरूयाहका छोरा योआबले मलाई के गरे, र इस्राएलका दुई सेनापति अर्थात् नेरका छोरा अबनेर र येतेरका छोरा अमासलाई के गरे, सो तिमीलाई थाहै छ । तिनले दुवैलाई मारिदिए । तिनले शान्तिको समयमा युद्धको रगत बगाए, र युद्धको रगत आफ्नो कम्मरको पटुका र खुट्टाको जुत्तामा दले ।
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down in peace to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
तिमीले सिकेको बुद्धिले योआबसित व्यवहार गर्नू, तर तिनको फुलेको कपाल शान्तिसित चिहानमा जान नपाओस् । (Sheol h7585)
7 But unto the sons of Barzillai the Gil'adite show thou kindness, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came near to me when I fled from before Abshalom thy brother.
तथापि, गिलादका बर्जिल्लैका छोराहरूमाथि दया देखाउनू, र तिम्रो टेबलमा खानेहरूमध्ये तिनीहरू पनि होऊन् किनकि म तिम्रो दाजु अब्शालोमबाट भाग्दा तिनीहरू मकहाँ आएका थिए ।
8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bachurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day when I went to Machanayim; but who came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
हेर, बहूरीमको बेन्यामीनी गेराको छोरो शिमी तिमीसितै छ, जसले म महनोममा जाँदा त्यस दिन मलाई बेसरी सरापेको थियो । शिमी यर्दनमा मलाई भेट गर्न आयो, र त्यसले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाँदै भन्यो, 'म तिमीलाई तरवारले मार्ने छैनँ ।'
9 But now leave him not unpunished; for thou art a wise man; know then what thou oughtest to do unto him, and bring thou down his hoary head with blood to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
त्यसकारण, अब त्यसलाई दण्डविना नछोड्नू । तिमी बुद्धिमानी मानिस हौ, र त्यसलाई के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीलाई थाहा छ । तिमीले त्यसको फुलेको कपाल रगतसँगै चिहानमा ल्याउनू ।” (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
त्यसपछि दाऊद आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडियो ।
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.
दाऊदले इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्षसम्म शासन गरे । तिनले हेब्रोनमा सात वर्षसम्म र यरूशलेममा तेत्तिस वर्षसम्म राज्य गरे ।
12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
तब सोलोमन आफ्ना पिता दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बसे, र तिनको शासन दृढतापूर्वक स्थापित थियो ।
13 And Adoniyah the son of Chaggith came to Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon: and she said, Is thy coming for peace? And he said, For peace.
त्यसपछि हग्गीतका छोरा अदोनियाह सोलोमनकी आमा बतशेबाकहाँ आए । उनले भनिन्, “के तिमी शान्तिसितै आयौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “हजुर, शान्तिसित आएँ ।”
14 He said moreover, I have a word for thee. And she said, Speak.
तब तिनले भने, “मैले तपाईंलाई केही कुरो भन्नु छ ।” उनले भनिन्, “भन ।”
15 And he said, Thou well knowest that mine was the kingdom, and that on me all Israel had set their faces, that I should reign: nevertheless the kingdom was turned about, and became my brother's; for from the Lord was it [made] his.
अदोनियाहले भने, “तपाईंलाई थाहै छ, कि राज्य मेरै थियो, र सारा इस्राएलले म नै राजा हुने छु भनी अपेक्षा गरेरहेका थिए । तर कुरो परिवर्तन भयो, र राज्य मेरो भाइलाई दिइयो किनकि परमप्रभुले यो तिनलाई दिनुभएको थियो ।
16 And now there is one petition I am going to ask of thee, do not turn me away. And she said unto him, Speak.
अब म तपाईंलाई एउटा बिन्ती चढाउँछु र त्यसलाई इन्कार नगरिदिनुहोस् ।” बतशेबाले तिनलाई भनिन्, “भन ।”
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, [for he will not turn thee away, ] that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite for wife.
तिनले भने, “मैले शुनम्मी अबीशगलाई पत्नीको रूपमा लैजान पाऊँ भनी सोलोमन राजालाई बिन्ती गरिदिनुहोस् ।”
18 And Bath-sheba' said, Well: I will speak for thee unto the king.
बतशेबाले भनिन्, “ठिक छ । म राजासित कुरा गर्ने छु ।”
19 Bath-sheba' thereupon went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adoniyah; and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and then sat down on his throne, and placed a chair for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
त्यसकारण अदोनियाहको निम्ति कुरा गर्न बतशेबा राजा सोलोमनकहाँ गइन् । उनलाई भेट्न राजा खडा भए र तिनले उनलाई दण्डवत् गरे । त्यसपछि राजा आफ्नो सिंहासनमा बसे, र राजाकी आमाको निम्ति एउटा सिंहासन ल्याउने हुकुम गरे । उनी राजाको दाहिने हातपट्टि बसिन् ।
20 Then said she, There is one small petition I am going to ask of thee; do not turn me away. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not turn thee away.
त्यसपछि उनले भनिन्, “तिमीलाई एउटा सानो बिन्ती चढाउने इच्छा छ, किनकि तिमीले इन्कार गर्ने छैनौ ।” राजाले उनलाई भने, “भन्नुहोस् मेरी आमा । म त्यसलाई इन्कार गर्ने छैनँ ।”
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adoniyah thy brother for wife.
उनले भनिन्, “तिम्रो दाजु अदोनियाहलाई शूनम्मी अबीशग पत्नीको रूपमा देऊ ।”
22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adoniyah? rather ask for him the kingdom; for he is my elder brother; — even for him, and for Ebyathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruyah.
राजा सोलोमनले आफ्नी आमालाई भने, “तपाईं किन शूनम्मी अबीशगलाई अदोनियाहको लागि माग्नुहुन्छ? तपाईं तिनको लागि किन राज्य नै माग्नुहुन्न? किनकि तिनी मेरा दाजु हुन् । किन पुजारी अबियाथार र सरूयाहका छोरा योआबको निम्ति पनि माग्नुहुन्न?”
23 Then swore king Solomon by the Lord, saying, May God do so to me, and may he thus continue, if Adoniyah have not spoken this word against his own life.
तब राजा सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा यसो भनी शपथ खाए, “यो बिन्तिको निम्ति अदोनियाहले आफ्नो ज्यान गुमाएनन् भने परमेश्वरले मलाई त्योभन्दा कठोर व्यवहार गरून् ।
24 And now, as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and seated me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he hath spoken, this very day shall Adoniyah be put to death.
त्यसकारण मलाई स्थापित गर्नुहुने, मलाई मेरा पिता दाऊदको सिंहासनमा राख्नुहुने र आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञाअनुसार मेरो वंश खडा गर्नुहुने जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा म भन्दछु, कि आज निश्चय नै अदोनियाह मारिने छन् ।”
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'; and he fell upon him so that he died.
त्यसैले राजा सोलोमनले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई पठाए, र बनायाहले अदोनियाहलाई फेला पारी मारे ।
26 And unto Ebyathar the priest said the king, Go to 'Anathoth, unto thy own fields; for thou art a man worthy of death; but on this day will I not put thee to death; because thou hast borne the ark of the Lord Eternal before David my father, and because thou was afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
तब राजाले पुजारी अबियाथारलाई भने, “तिम्रो आफ्नै जग्गा अनातोतमा जाऊ । तिमी मृत्युको लायक छौ, तर मेरा पिता दाऊदको सामु तिमीले परमप्रभुको सन्दुक बोकेकाले र मेरा पिताजस्तै हरेक मार्गमा तिमीले दुःख भोगेकाले तिमीलाई म यस बेला मार्दिनँ ।”
27 So Solomon banished Ebyathar that he should not be priest unto the Lord, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken concerning the house of 'Eli in Shiloh.
त्यसैले सोलोमनले अबियाथारलाई पुजारीको पदबाट हटाइदिए । यसरी शीलोमा बस्ने एलीका घरानाको बारेमा परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको वचन पुरा भयो ।
28 And the report came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adoniyah, though he had not turned after Abshalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
यो खबर योआबकहाँ आयो किनकि योआबले अदोनियाहलाई समर्थन गरेका थिए, यद्यपि तिनले अब्शालोमलाई भने समर्थन गरेका थिएनन् । त्यसैले योआब परमप्रभुको पालभित्र भागे, र वेदीका सिङहरू पक्रेर बसे ।
29 And it was told to king Solomon that Joab had fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; and that, behold, he was close by the altar. Then sent Solomon Benayahu the son of Yehoyada,' saying, Go, fall upon him.
योआब भागेर गई वेदीको छेउमा बसेका छन् भनी सोलोमनलाई बताइयो । तब सोलोमनले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई यसो भनी पठाए, “जाऊ र तिनलाई मार ।”
30 And Benayahu came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus hath said the king, Come forth. And he said, No; but here will I die. And Benayahu brought the king word again, saying, Thus hath Joab spoken, and thus hath he answered me.
त्यसैले बनायाह परमप्रभुको पालभित्र प्रवेश गरी योआबलाई भने, “राजाले तिमीलाई बाहिर आउनू हुकुम गर्नुभएको छ ।” योआबले जवाफ दिए, “अँहँ, म यहीँ नै मर्ने छु ।” त्यसैले बनायाह राजाकहाँ फर्के र भने, “योआब वेदीमा नै मर्न चाहन्छन् ।”
31 Then said the king unto him, Do as he hath spoken, and fall upon him, and bury him; and remove [thus] the innocent blood, which Joab hath shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तिनले भनेजस्तै गर । तिनलाई मारेर गाड । यसरी म र तिमीले मेरा पिताको घरानाबाट विनाकारण योआबले बगाएको रगतको दोष लैजाने छौ ।
32 And may the Lord bring back his blood-guiltiness upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, while my father David knew it not, Abner the son of Ner, the captain of the army of Israel, and 'Amassa the son of Yether, the captain of the army of Judah.
तिनले बगाएको रगतको दोष तिनकै शिरमाथि परोस् किनकि तिनले मेरा पिता दाऊदको जानकारीविनै आफूभन्दा धर्मी र उत्तम दुई जना मानिस अर्थात् इस्राएलका सेनापति नेरका छोरा अबनेर र यहूदाका सेनापति येतेरका छोरा अमासलाई आक्रमण गरी तिनीहरूलाई तरवारले मारे ।
33 And their blood shall return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूको रगतको दोष सदाको निम्ति योआब र तिनका सन्तानहरूका शिरमाथि परोस् । तर दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरू अनि तिनको वंश र तिनको सिंहासनमा भने सदासर्वदा परमप्रभुबाट शान्ति आओस् ।”
34 So Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
तब यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह माथि उक्ले अनि योआबलाई प्रहार गरी मारे । तिनलाई उजाड-स्थानमा तिनको आफ्नै जग्गामा गाडियो ।
35 And the king appointed Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest did the king appoint in the place of Ebyathar.
राजाले तिनको ठाउँमा यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई सेनापतिमा र अबियाथारको ठाउँमा सादोकलाई पुजारीमा नियुक्त गरे ।
36 And the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou shalt not go forth from there hither or thither.
त्यसपछि राजाले शिमीलाई डाक्न पठाए र तिनलाई भने, “आफ्नो निम्ति यरूशलेममा घर बनाएर त्यहीँ बस, अनि त्यहाँबाट कतै नजाऊ ।
37 And it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thy own head.
किनकि जुन दिन तिमी किद्रोन उपत्यका पार गरेर जान्छौ, निश्चय नै तिमी मारिने छौ भनी जान । तिम्रो रगतको दोष तिम्रै शिरमाथि पर्ने छ ।”
38 And Shim'i said unto the king, It is well: as my Lord the king hath spoken, so will thy servant do. And Shim'i dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
त्यसैले शिमीले राजालाई भने, “तपाईंले भन्नुभएको कुरो राम्रो छ । मेरा मालिक राजाले भन्नुभएझैँ हजुरको दासले गर्ने छ ।” त्यसैले धेरै दिनसम्म शिमी यरूशलेममा नै बसे ।
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shim'i ran away unto Achish the son of Ma'achah the king of Gath: and they told unto Shim'i, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
तर तिन वर्षको अन्त्यमा शिमीका दुई जना दास गातका राजा माकाका छोरा आकीशकहाँ भागेर गए । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले शिमीलाई यसो भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका दासहरू गातमा छन् ।”
40 And Shim'i arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants; and Shim'i went, and brought his servants from Gath.
तब शिमी उठे अनि गधामा जीनकाठी कसेर आफ्ना दासहरूको खोजीमा आकीशकहाँ गए र गातबाट आफ्ना दासहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याए ।
41 And it was told to Solomon that Shim'i had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
शिमी यरूशलेमबाट गातमा गएर फर्केका छन् भनी जब सोलोमनलाई सुनाइयो,
42 And the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Did I not make thee swear by the Lord, and warned thee, saying, On that day thou goest out, and walkest abroad hither or thither, know for certain that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, It is well, I have heard?
तब राजाले शिमीलाई डाक्न पठाए र तिनलाई भने, “'जुन दिन तिमी यहाँबाट अन्त कतै जान्छौ, तिमी निश्चय नै मारिने छौ भनी जान' भनी के मैले परप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाई तिमीलाई गवाही दिएको थिइनँ र? तब तिमीले मलाई भन्यौ, 'हजुरले भन्नुभएको कुरा राम्रो छ ।'
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment with which I charged thee?
तब तिमीले किन परमप्रभुसित खाएको सपथ र मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरेनौ?”
44 The king said moreover to Shim'i, Thou well knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, that thou hast done to David my father: and the Lord bringeth back thy wickedness upon thy own head;
राजाले शिमीलाई यसो पनि भने, “तिमीले मेरा पितालाई गरेका सबै दुष्टता तिमीलाई आफ्नो मनमा थाहा छ । त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले तिम्रो दुष्टता तिम्रै शिरमाथि फर्काइदिनुहुने छ ।
45 But king Solomon will be blessed, and the throne of David will be established before the Lord for ever.
तर राजा सोलोमनचाहिँ आशिषित हुने छन्, र दाऊदको सिंहासन परमप्रभुको सामु सदाको निम्ति स्थापित हुने छ ।”
46 So the king commanded Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', who went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
तब राजाले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई आज्ञा दिएअनुसार तिनले शिमीलाई मारे । यसरी सोलोमनको हातमा शासन बलियो गरी स्थापित भयो ।
