< 1 Samuel 11 >
1 After about a month, Nahash the Ammonite came up and camped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."
त्यसपछि अम्मोनी नाहाश गए र याबेश-गिलादलाई घेरा हाले । याबेशका सबै मानिसले नाहाशलाई भने, “हामीसँग एउटा करार गर्नुहोस् र हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्नेछौं ।”
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that all your right eyes are put out; and I will make it a disgrace on all Israel."
अम्मोनी नाहाशले जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरूसँग म यस शर्तमा सम्झौता गर्नेछु, कि म तिमीहरूको दाहिने आँखा निकालिदिनेछु, र यसरी सारा इस्राएलमाथि म अपमान ल्याउनेछु ।”
3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."
तब याबेशका धर्म-गुरुहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हामीलाई सात दिनसम्म छोडिदिनुहोस्, ताकि इस्राएलका सबै इलाकामा हामी दूतहरू पठाउनेछौं । तब हामीलाई बचाउने कोही भएन भने हामी तपाईंकहाँ आत्मासमर्पण गर्नेछौं ।
4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
ती दूतहरू गिबामा आए जहाँ शाऊल बस्थे र जे भएको थियो सो मानिसहरूलाई भने । सबै मानिसहरू धुरुधुरु रोए ।
5 Look, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, "What ails the people that they weep?" They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
यति बेला शाऊल खतेबाट गोरुहरू लिएर आउँदै थियो । शऊलले भने, “मानिसहरूलाई के खराबी भयो जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू रुँदैछन्?” याबेशका मानिसहरूले जे भनेका थिए सो तिनीहरूले शाऊललाई भने ।
6 The Spirit of God came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
जब तिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा शाऊलले सुने, तब तिनीमाथि परमेश्वरको आत्मा आउनुभयो र तिनी साह्रै रिसाए ।
7 He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever doesn't come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." The dread of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
तिनले एक हल गोरु लिए र तिनलाई टुक्रा-टक्रा गरी काटे र ती इस्राएलको सबै इलाकामा ती दूतहरूसँगै पठाए । तिनले भने, “शाऊल र शमूएलको पछि नआउने व्यक्तिको गोरुलाई यसै गरिनेछ ।” अनि परमप्रभुको भय मानिसहरूमाथि पर्यो र तिनीहरू एक जना मानिसझैं एकसाथ निस्केर आए ।
8 He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
जब उनीहरूलाई तिनले बेजेकमा भेला पारे, तब इस्राएलका मनिसहरू तिन लाख जना थिए र यहूदाका मानिसहरू तिस हजार जना थिए ।
9 And he said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall tell the men of Jabesh, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'" The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ आएका दूतहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले याबेश-गिलादका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन, 'भोलि यति बेला मध्यन्हसम्ममा, तिमीहरूको छुट्टकारा हुनेछ,’ ।” त्यसैले दूतहरू गए र याबेश-गिलादका मानिसहरूलाई भने, र तिनीहरू खुसी भए ।
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you."
तब याबेशका मानिसहरूले नाहाशलाई भने, “भोलि हामी तपाईंकहाँ आत्मासमर्पण गर्नेछौं, र तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो हामीमाथि गर्नुहोस् ।”
11 It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
भोलिपल्ट शाऊलले मानिसहरूलाई तिन समूहमा विभाजन गरे । बिहानको पहरमा तिनीहरू छाउनी बिचमा आए र तिनीहरूले आक्रमण गरे र मध्यन्हसम्ममा अम्मोनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । ती जीवित रहेकाहरू सबै यसरी छरपष्ट भए, कि तिनीहरू कोही पनि दुई जना सँगै रहेनन् ।
12 The people said to Samuel, "Who is he who said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring those men, that we may put them to death."
तब मानिसहरूले शमूएललाई भने, “ती को थिए जसले यसो भने 'के शाऊलले हामीमाथि राज्य गर्नेछ र?’ ती मानिसहरूलाई ल्याउनुहोस्, ताकि हामीले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नेछौं ।”
13 Saul said, "There shall not a man be put to death this day; for today Jehovah has worked deliverance in Israel."
तर शाऊलले भने, “आजको दिन कसैलाई मारिनेछैन, किनभने परमप्रभुले आज इस्राएललाई छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ ।”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."
त्यसपछि शमूएलले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “आओ, हामी गिलगामा जानेछौं र त्यहाँ राजसत्ताप्रति फेरि भक्ति जानउनेछौं ।”
15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Jehovah in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before Jehovah; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
त्यसैले सबै मानिसहरू गिलगालमा गए र गिलगामा परमप्रभुको सामु शाऊललाई राजा बनाए । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको सामु मेलबलिहरू चढाए, र शाऊल र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू धेरै आनन्दित भए ।
