< 1 Samuel 2 >
1 And Hannah prays and says: “My heart has exulted in YHWH, My horn has been high in YHWH, My mouth has been large over my enemies, For I have rejoiced in Your salvation.
हन्नाहले प्रार्थना गरिन् र यसो भनिन्, “परमप्रभुमा मेरो हृदय आनन्दित हुन्छ । परमप्रभुमा मेरो सीङ उच्च पारिन्छ । मेरो मुखले मेरा शत्रुहरूमाथि गर्भ गर्छ, किनभने म तपाईंको मुक्तिमा आनन्दित हुन्छु ।
2 There is none holy like YHWH, For there is none except You, And there is no rock like our God.
परमप्रभुझैं पवित्र कोही छैन, किनकि तपाईंबाहेक कोही पनि छैन । हाम्रो परमेश्वरजस्तो कुनै चट्टान छैन ।
3 You do not multiply—you speak haughtily—The old saying goes out from your mouth, For YHWH [is] a God of knowledge, And actions are weighed by Him.
यति धैरै घमण्ड गरेर अहंकारी नहो । तेरो मुखबाट अहंकारका कुनै कुरा ननिस्कोस् । किनकि परमप्रभु ज्ञानका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँद्वारा नै कामहरू जोखिन्छन् ।
4 Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.
शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूका धनुहरू भाँचिएका छन्, तर ठेस खाएकाहरूले शक्तिलाई कम्मर-पेटीझैं लगाउँछन् ।
5 The satiated hired themselves for bread, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren has borne seven, And she abounding with sons has languished.
भरिपूर्ण हुनेहरूले आफैलाई ज्यालामा लगाएका छन् । भोकाएकाहरू भोकाउन हुन छोडेका छन् । बाँझीले समेत सात जना सन्तानहरू जन्माउँछिन्, तर धेरै सन्तान हुने स्त्री शिथिल हुन्छिन् ।
6 YHWH puts to death, and keeps alive, He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol )
परमप्रभुले मार्नुहुन्छ र जीवन दिनुहुन्छ । उहाँले चिहानमा पुर्याउनुहुन्छ र उठाउनुहुन्छ । (Sheol )
7 YHWH dispossesses, and He makes rich, He makes low, indeed, He makes high.
परमप्रभुले केही मानिसलाई गरीब र केहीलाई धनी बनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले नम्र तुल्याउनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँले पनि उचाल्नुहुन्छ ।
8 He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts up the needy from a dunghill, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Indeed, He causes them to inherit a throne of glory, For the fixtures of earth [are] of YHWH, And He sets the habitable world on them.
उहाँले गरीबलाई धूलोबाट उठाउनुहुन्छ । खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई शासकहरूसँग बसाल्न र इज्जको ओहदा पाउने बनाउन उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खरानीको थुप्रोबाट उठाउनुहुन्छ । किनकि पृथ्वीका जगहरू परमप्रभुका हुन् र उहाँले संसारलाई तिमाथि बसाल्नुभएको छ ।
9 He keeps the feet of His saints, And the wicked are silent in darkness, For man does not become mighty by power.
उहाँले आफ्ना विश्वासयोग्य मानिसहरूका पाउहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ, दुष्टहरूलाई अन्धकारको शुन्यतामा राखिनेछ, किनकि बलद्वारा कसैले जित्न सक्नेछैन ।
10 YHWH—His adversaries are broken down, He thunders against them in the heavens: YHWH judges the ends of the earth, And gives strength to His king, And exalts the horn of His anointed.”
परमप्रभुको विरोध गर्नेहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुने छन् । तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा उहाँ स्वर्गबाट गर्जनुहुनेछ । परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीको अन्तसम्म नै न्याय गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले आफ्नो राजालाई बल दिनुहुनेछ र आफ्नो अभिषिक्तको सीङ उच्च पार्नुहुनेछ ।
11 And Elkanah goes to Ramath, to his house, and the youth has been serving YHWH [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
त्यसपछि एल्काना आफ्नो घर रामामा गए । त्यो बालकले पुजारी एलीको सामु परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्यो ।
12 and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known YHWH.
यति बेलासम्म एलीका छोराहरू अयोग्य मानिहरू भएका थिए । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई चिनेनन् ।
13 And the custom of the priests with the people [is that when] any man is sacrificing a sacrifice, then the servant of the priest has come in when the flesh is boiling, and [with] the hook of three teeth in his hand,
मानिसहरूसँग पुजारीहरूको चलन यस्तो थियो, जब कुनै मानिसले बलिदान चढाउँथ्यो, तब पुजारीका सेवक मासु उमाल्दै गर्दा नै आफ्नो हातमा त्रिशूलसहित आउँथ्यो ।
14 and has struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; all that the hook brings up the priest takes for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in there in Shiloh.
उसले ताप्के वा कराही वा तसला वा भाँडोमा नै घोच्थ्यो । त्यो त्रिशूलमा आउने सबै पुजारीले आफ्नो निम्ति लान्थ्यो । तिनीहरूले शीलोमा आउने सबै इस्राएलीहरूसँग यसै गर्थे ।
15 Also, before they make incense with the fat, then the priest’s servant has come in and said to the man who is sacrificing, “Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he does not take boiled flesh from you, but raw”;
अझ नराम्रो त, तिनीहरूले बोसो जलाउनअगि नै पुजारीको सेवक आउँथ्यो र बलिदान गरिरहेका मानिसलाई भन्थ्यो, “पुजारीको निम्ति पोल्नलाई मासु देऊ, किनकि तिमीबाट उनले उमालेको मासु स्वीकार गर्नुहुन्न, तर काँचो मात्र लिनुहुन्छ ।”
16 and the man says to him, “Let them surely make incense with the fat according to the [custom] today, then take to yourself as your soul desires”; and he has said to him, “Surely you give now; and if not—I have taken by strength.”
त्यो मानिसले यसो भन्यो भने, “तिनीहरूले पहिले बोसो जलाउनुपर्छ, र तब तपाईंले इच्छा गरेजति लानुहोस् ।” तब उसले भन्थ्यो, “हुँदैन, तिमीले यो मलाई अहिले नै देऊ । होइन भने, मैले जबरजस्ती गरेर लानेछु ।”
17 And the sin of the young men is very great [in] the presence of YHWH, for the men have despised the offering of YHWH.
यी जवानहरूको पाप परमप्रभुको सामु निकै ठुलो थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको बलिदानलाई तुच्छ ठाने ।
18 And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of YHWH, a youth girt [with] an ephod of linen;
तर शामूएलले बालकको रूपमा मलमलको एपोद लगाएर परमप्रभुको सेवा गरे ।
19 and his mother makes a small upper coat for him, and she has brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
तिनको आमाले आफ्नो पतिको साथमा वार्षिक बलिदान चढाउन आउँदा वर्षैपिच्छे तिनको निम्ति एउटा सानो लुगा बनाउँथिन् र तिनलाई ल्याइदिन्थिन् ।
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “YHWH appoints seed of this woman for you, for the petition which she asked for YHWH”; and they have gone to their place.
एलीले एल्काना र तिनकी पत्नीलाई यसरी आशिष् दिएर भन्थे, “यी स्त्रीले परमप्रभुसँग बिन्ती गरेकी कारणले परमप्रभुले यी स्त्रीद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई धेरै सन्तानहरू देऊन् ।” त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आफ्नो घरमा नै फर्कन्थे ।
21 When YHWH has looked after Hannah, then she conceives and bears three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel grows up with YHWH.
परमप्रभुले हन्नाहलाई फेरि सहायता गर्नुभयो र तिनी फेरि गर्भवति भइन् । तिनले तिन छोराहरू र दुई छोरीहरू जन्माइन् । यसैबिच, बालक शमूएल परमप्रभुको सामु बढ्दै गए ।
22 And Eli [is] very old, and has heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling [at] the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
यति बेला एली निकै वृद्ध भए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूले सबै इस्राएलसँग गरेका सबै कुरा र तिनीहरू भेट हुने पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा सेवा गर्ने स्त्रीहरूसँग कसरी सुते भन्ने कुरा सुने ।
23 and he says to them, “Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil words from all the people—these!
तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले किन यस्ता कुराहरू गर्छौ? किनकि मैले तिमीहरूको दुष्ट कामहरू यी सबै मानिसहरूबाट सुन्दैछु ।”
24 No, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of YHWH to transgress.
हुँदैन, ए मेरा छोराहरू हो । किनकि मैले सुनेको कुरा असल खबर होइन । तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूलाई अनाज्ञाकारी बनाउँछौ ।
25 If a man sins against a man, then God has judged him; but if a man sins against YHWH, who prays for him?” And they do not listen to the voice of their father, though YHWH has delighted to put them to death.
“एक जना मानिसले अर्काको विरुद्ध पाप गर्यो भने, परमेश्वरले उसको न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ, तर मानिसले परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध पाप गर्छ भने, उसको निम्ति कसले बोलिदिन्छ?” तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबाको कुरा सुनेनन्, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मार्ने इच्छा गर्नुभयो ।
26 And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good with both YHWH, and also with men.
बालक शमूएल बढ्दै गए, र परमप्रभु र मानिसहरूको निगाहमा हुर्किए ।
27 And a man of God comes to Eli and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Was I really revealed to the house of your father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh’s house,
यति बेला परमेश्वरका एक जना मानिस एलीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तेरा पुर्खाहरू मिश्रदेशमा फारोको घरमा दासत्वमा हुँदा, के मैले तिनीहरूकहाँ आफूलाई प्रकट गरिन र?
28 even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel for a priest for Myself, to go up on My altar, to make incense, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel?
मेरो पुजारी हुन, मेरो वेदीमा जान, र धूप बाल्न र मेरो सामु एपोद लगाउनलाई मैले इस्राएलको सारा कुलहरूबाट उसलाई चुनें । मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आगोद्वारा चढाएका सबै बलिदानहरू तेरो पुर्खाको घरानालाई दिएँ ।
29 Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering, which I commanded [in] My habitation, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people?
तब किन मेरो बासस्थानमा मलाई आवश्यक मेरा बलिदानहरू र भेटीहरूलाई तैंले किन तुच्छ ठान्छस्? इस्राएलका मेरा मानिसहरूको हरेक बलिदानको उत्तम थोकद्वारा आफैलाई मोटो बनाएर तैंले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई किन मलाई भन्दा बढी आदर गर्छस्?'
30 Therefore—a declaration of YHWH, God of Israel—I certainly said, Your house and the house of your father walk up and down before Me for all time; and now—a declaration of YHWH—Far be it from Me! For he who is honoring Me, I honor, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
किनकि परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तेरो घराना र तेरो पुर्खाको घराना सदाको निम्ति मेरो सामु हिंड्नुपर्छ भनी मैले प्रतिज्ञा गरें ।' तर अब परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'यसो गर्ने कुरा मबाट टाढै रहोस्, किनकि मलाई आदर गर्नेलाई म आदर गर्छु, तर जसले मलाई तुच्छ ठान्छ उसको आदर घट्नेछ ।
31 Behold, days [are] coming, and I have cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, that an old man is not in your house;
हेर्, मैले तेरो बल र तेरो पिताको घरानाको बल नाश पार्ने समय आउँदैछ, ताकि तेरो घरानामा कोही वृद्ध मानिस हुनेछैन ।
32 and you have beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He does good with Israel, and there is not an old man in your house all the days.
मरो बासस्थानमा नै तैले संकष्ट देख्नेछस् । इस्राएललाई असल कुरा दिइए तापनि, तेरो घरानामा कोही वृद्ध मानिस हुनेछैन ।
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from My altar—[My purpose is] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your soul; and all the increase of men [in] your house die;
आफ्नो वेदीबाट मैले वञ्चित तेरा कुनै पनि व्यक्तिका आँखा धमिलिनेछन् र तेरो जीवनको निम्ति म कष्ट ल्याउनेछु । तेरो परिवारमा जन्मका सबै मानिसहरू मर्नेछन् ।
34 and this [is] the sign to you that comes to your two sons, to Hophni and Phinehas—in one day both of them die;
तेरा दुई छोराहरू होप्नी र पीनहासमाथि आईपर्ने चिन्ह यो हुनेछः तिनीहरू दुवै एकै दिनमा मर्नेछन् ।
35 and I have raised up a steadfast priest for Myself; he does as in My heart and in My soul; and I have built a steadfast house for him, and he has walked up and down before My anointed all the days;
म आफ्नो निम्ति एक जना विश्वासयोग्य पुजारी नियक्त गर्नेछु जसले मेरो हृदय र मेरो प्राणमा जे छ सो गर्नेछ । उसको घराना निर्माण गर्नेछु, अनि ऊ नै मेरो अभिषिक्त राजाको सामु सधैं हिंड्नेछ ।
36 and it has been, everyone who is left in your house comes to bow himself to him for a wage of silver and a cake of bread, and has said, Please admit me to one of the priest’s offices, to eat a morsel of bread.”
तेरो घरानामा बाँकी रहेका हरेक मानिस चाँदीको एक टुक्रा र रोटीको एक टुक्रा माग्न उसकहाँ आउनेछन् र घोप्टो पर्नेछन् र यसो भन्नेछन्, “कृपया, मलाई पनि पुजारीको कुनै काम दिनुहोस्, ताकि म पनि एक टुक्रा खान पाउनेछु ।”
