2 Samuel 3
1 And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul is going on and [is] weak.
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 And there are sons born to David in Hebron, and his firstborn is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
हेब्रोनमा दाऊदका छोराहरू जन्मे । तिनका जेठा छोरा यिजरेली अहीनोमबाट जन्मेका अमनोन थिए ।
3 and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
तिनका महिला छोरा नाबबालकी विधवा कर्मेली अबीगेलबाट जन्मेका किलाब थिए । साहिंला छोरा अब्शालोम, जो गशूरका राजा तल्मैकी छोरी माकाका छोरा थिए ।
4 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,
दाऊदका कहिंलो छोरा अदोनियाहचाहिं हग्गीतका छोरा थिए । तिनका ठाहिंला छोरा शपत्याहचाहिं अबीतलका छोरा थिए,
5 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.
कान्छो छोरा यित्राम दाऊदकी पत्नी एग्लाका छोरा थिए । होब्रोनमा जन्मेका दाऊदका छोराहरू यिनै थिए ।
6 And it comes to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner has been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,
शाऊलका घराना र दाऊदका घराना बिचको युद्धको समयमा शाऊलको घरानामा अबनेरले आफूलाई निकै शक्तिशाली बनाए ।
7 and Saul has a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] says to Abner, “Why have you gone in to the concubine of my father?”
अय्याकी छोरी रिश्पा शाऊलकी उपपत्नी थिइन् । ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई भने, “तिमी मेरो बुबाको उपपत्नीसँग किन सुतेको?”
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Abner, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he says, “[Am] I the head of a dog—that in reference to Judah, today I do kindness with the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David—that you charge against me iniquity concerning the woman today?
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 Thus God does to Abner, and thus He adds to him, surely as YHWH has sworn to David—surely so I do to him:
पमरप्रभुले गर्छु भनी दऊदसित शपथ खानुभएझैं मैले तिनलाई गरिनँ भने, परमेश्वरले म अबनेरलाई यो वा योभन्दा बढी गर्नुभएको होस्,
10 to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba.”
जसमा शाऊलको घरानाको राज्य हस्तान्तरण गर्न, र इस्राएलमाथि र यहूदामाथि दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मै दाऊदको सिंहासन स्थापित गर्न ।”
11 And he is not able to return a word [to] Abner anymore, because of his fearing him.
ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई अर्को शब्द केही पनि भन्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीसँग उनी डराए ।
12 And Abner sends messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose [is] the land?” [And] saying, “Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand [is] with you, to bring around all Israel to 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 And [David] says, “Good—I make a covenant with you; only, one thing I am asking of you, that is, you do not see my face, except [that] you first bring in Michal daughter of Saul in your coming in to see my face.”
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 And David sends messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, “Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
त्यसपछि दाऊदले यसो भन्दै शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए, “मलाई मेरी पत्नी मीकल देऊ, जसलाई मैले सय जना पलिश्तीको खलडीको मूल्य तिरें ।”
15 And Ish-Bosheth sends, and takes her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,
त्यसैले ईश्बोशेतले मीकललाई लिन पठाए र तिनलाई तिनको पति लैशका छोरा पल्तिएलकहाँबाट ल्याए ।
16 and her husband goes with her, going on and weeping behind her, to Bahurim, and Abner says to him, “Go, return”; and he turns back.
तिनको पति रुँदै-रुँदै तिनसँगै गए र बहूरीमसम्म तिनलाई पछ्याए । तब अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “अब घर फर्क ।” त्यसैले तिनी फर्के ।
17 And the word of Abner was with [the] elderly of Israel, saying, “Thus far you have been seeking David for king over you,
अबनेरले इस्राएलका धर्म-गरुहरूसित यसो भनेर कुरा गरे, “विगतमा तपाईंहरूले दाऊदलाई आफ्ना राजा बनाउने प्रयास गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
18 and now, do [it], for YHWH has spoken of David saying, [It is] by the hand of my servant David to save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of 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 And Abner also speaks in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner also goes to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin,
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 and Abner comes to David, to Hebron, and twenty men [are] with him, and David makes a banquet for Abner and for the men who [are] with him.
जब अबनेर र तिनका बिस जना मानिसहरू दाऊदलाई भेट्न हेब्रोनमा आइपुगे, तब दाऊदले तिनीहरूका निम्ति भोज तयार गरे ।
21 And Abner says to David, “I arise, and go, and gather the whole of Israel to my lord the king, and they make a covenant with you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires”; and David sends Abner away, and he goes in peace.
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 And behold, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and have brought much spoil with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he has sent him away, and he goes 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 and Joab and all the host that [were] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, “Abner son of Ner has come to the king, and he sends him away, and he goes in peace.”
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 And Joab comes to the king and says, “What have you done? Behold, Abner has come to you! Why [is] this—you have sent him away, and he is really gone?
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 have known Abner son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
नेरका छोरा अबनेर तपाईंलाई छल्न गर्न र तपाईंका योजनाहरू र तपाईंले गरिरहेका हरेक कुरा पत्ता लगाउन आएका होइनन् र?”
26 And Joab goes out from David, and sends messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David did not know.
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 And Abner turns back to Hebron, and Joab turns him aside to the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and strikes him there in the fifth [rib]—and he dies—for the blood of his 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 And David hears afterward and says, “My kingdom and I [are] acquitted by YHWH for all time, from the blood 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 it stays on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one who has discharging, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.”
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 And Joab and his brother Abishai slew Abner because that he put their brother Asahel to death in Gibeon, in battle.
यसरी योआब र तिनका भाइ अबीशैले अबनेरलाई मारे, किनभने तिनले गिबोनको युद्धमा तिनीहरूका भाइ असाहेललाई मारेका थिए ।
31 And David says to Joab, and to all the people who [are] with him, “Tear your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner”; and King David is going after the bier.
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 And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifts up his voice, and weeps at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
तिनीहरूले अबनेरलाई हेब्रोनमा गाडे । अबनेरको चिहानमा राजा ठुलो धुरु-धुरु रोए र सबै मानिसहरू पनि रोए ।
33 and the king laments for Abner and says, “Does Abner die as the death of a fool?
राजाले अबनेरको निम्ति विलाप गरे र गित गाए, “के अबनेरले मूर्खले झैं मर्नुपर्छ?
34 Your hands not bound, And your feet not brought near to chains! You have fallen as one falling before sons of evil!” And all the people add to weep over him.
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 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David swears, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, for—before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.”
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 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king has done is good in the eyes of all the people;
सबै मानिसले दाऊदको विलापलाई ख्याल गरे र यसले तिनीहरूलाई प्रशन्न तुल्यायो । दाऊदले जे गरे त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।
37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it has not been from the king—to put Abner son of Ner to death.
त्यसैले नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई मार्ने इच्छा राजाको थिएन भन्ने सारा मानिस र सारा इस्राएलले बुझे ।
38 And the king says to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great one has fallen this day in Israel?
राजाले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “आजको दिन इस्राएलमा एक जना शासक र महान् मानिस मरेका छन् भनी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?
39 And today I [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; YHWH repays to the doer of the evil according to his evil.”
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 ।”
