1 Samuel 26
1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Look, David is hiding himself on the hill of Hakilah, which is near Jeshimon."
जीपीहरू गिबामा शाऊलकहाँ आए र भने, “के दाऊद यशीमोन सामुन्नेको हकीलाहको पहाडमा लुकिरहेका छैनन्?”
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
तब शाऊल उठे र इस्राएलका चुनिएका तिन हजार मानिसलाई आफूसित लिएर जीपको उजाड-स्थानमा दाऊदलाई खोज्न तल गए ।
3 Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, near the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
शाऊलले हकीलाहको पहाडमा छाउनी हाले, जुन यशीमोनको अगाडीतिर बाटोको छेउमा छ । तर दाऊदचाहिं उजाड-स्थानमा बसिरहेका थिए र शाऊल तिनको पछिपछि उजाड-स्थानमा आएको तिनले देखे ।
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
त्यसैले शाऊल साँच्चै नै आएका थिए भनी थाहा पाउनलाई दाऊदले गुप्तचरहरू पठाए ।
5 David arose, and came to the place where Saul had camped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were camped around him.
दाऊद उठे र शाऊलले छाउनी हालेको ठाउँमा गए । शाऊल र तिनका फौजका सेनापति नेरका छोरा अबनेर कहाँ सुतेका ठाउँ देखे । शाऊल छाउनीमा सुते र मानिसहरूले तिनका वरिपरि छाउनी हालेका थिए र सबै मस्त निद्रामा थिए ।
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hethite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?" Abishai said, "I will go down with you."
तब दाऊदले हित्ती अहीमेलेक, योआबका भाइ सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैलाई भने, “शाऊलको छाउनीमा तल मसँग को जानेछ?” अबीशैले भने, “म! म तपाईंसँग जानेछु ।”
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, look, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.
त्यसैले दाऊद र अबीशै राती फौज भएको ठाउँतिर गए । शाऊल आफ्नो भाला आफ्नो शिर नजिकै भूइँमा गाडेर छाउनीभित्र सुतिरहेका थिए । अबनेर र तिनका सिपाहीहरू तिनको वरिपरि सुतेका थिए ।
8 Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."
अबीशैले दाऊदलाई भने, “परमेश्वरले आज तपाईंको शत्रुलाई तपाइईंको हातमा दिनुभएको छ । कृपया, तिनलाई एकै प्रहारमा भालाले भूइँमा रोप्न मलाई दिनुहोस् । म तिनलाई दोस्रो पटक प्रहार गर्दिनँ ।”
9 David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be guiltless?"
दाऊदले अबीशैलाई भने, “तिनलाई नाश नगर । किनकि परमप्रभुको अभिषिक्त जनमाथि हात उठाएर कोचाहिं दोषरहित हुन सक्छ?”
10 David said, "As Jehovah lives, Jehovah will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
दाऊदले भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभुले नै तिनलाई मार्नुहुनेछ वा मर्नलाई तिनको दिन आउनेछ वा तिनी युद्धमा जानेछन् र नाश हुनेछन् ।
11 Jehovah forbid that I should put forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."
परमप्रभुको अभिषिक्त जनामाथि मैले आफ्नो हात उठाउने कुरा उहाँले दूर गर्नुभएको होस् । तर अब म तिमीलाई अनुरोध गर्छु, तिनको शिरमा भएको भाला र पानीको सुराही लेऊ र हामी जाऔं ।”
12 So David took the spear and the jar of water at his head, and they went away. And no one saw it or knew about it, nor did any awake. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah had fallen on them.
त्यसैले दाऊदले भाला र पानीको सुराही शाऊलको शिरनेरबाट लिए र तिनीहरू गए । तिनीहरूलाई कसैले देखेन वा यो कसैले थाहा पाएन, न त कोही ब्युँझिए, किनकि तिनीहरू सबै मस्त निदाएका थिए, किनकि परमप्रभुबाट आएको गहिरो निद्रा तिनीहरूमाथि परेको थियो ।
13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on the top of the hill some distance away; there was a great distance between them.
तब दाऊद पारिपट्टि गए र टाढा पहाडको टाकुरमा खडा भए । तिनीहरू बिच लामो दूरी थियो ।
14 And David called to the people, and to Abner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you that calls?"
दाऊदले मानिसहरू र नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई कराए । तिनले भने, “ए अबनेर के तिमीले जवाफ दिंदैनौ?” तब अबनेरले जवाफ दिए र भने, “राजामाथि कराउने तिमी को हौ?”
15 David said to Abner, "Aren't you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
दाऊदले अबनेरलाई भने, “के तिमी साहसी मानिस होइनौ? इस्राएलमा तिमी जस्तो को छ? तिमीले आफ्नो मालिक राजाको किन हेरचाह गरेनौ? किनकि तिम्रो मालिक राजालाई मार्न कोही आयो ।
16 This thing isn't good that you have done. As Jehovah lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Jehovah's anointed. Now look, where is the king's spear, and where is the jar of water that was by his head?"
तिमीले गरेको यो कुरा ठीक छैन । जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमी मर्न योग्यका छौ किनभने तिमीले परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त जन तिम्रो मालिकको हेरचाह गरेका छैनौ । राजाको शिरनेर भएको भाला र पानीको सुराही कहाँ छ, हेर!”
17 Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."
शाऊलले दाऊदको सोर चिने र भने, “ए मेरो छोरा दाऊद, के यो तिम्रो सोर हो?” दाऊदले भने, “हो मेरो मालिक, राजा, यो मेरो सोर हो ।”
18 He said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?
तिनले भने, “मेरो मालिकले आफ्नो दासको किन खेदो गर्नुहुन्छ? मैले के गरेको छु? मेरो हातमा के खराबी छ?
19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that God has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is from human beings, they are cursed before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to Jehovah's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'
यसकारण अब, म तपाईंलाई बिन्ती गर्छु, मेरो मालिक राजाले आफ्नो दासको कुरा सुन्नुहोस् । परमप्रभुले नै तपाईंलाई मेरो विरुद्धमा उक्साउनुभएको हो भने, उहाँले बलिदान ग्रहण गर्नुभएको होस् । तर यो मानवजाति हो भने, तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु श्रापित होऊन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई आज बाहिर धपाएका छन्, ताकि म परमप्रभुको उत्तराधिकारमा रहन नसकौं । तिनीहरूले मलाई भनेका छन्, 'अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गर्न जाऊ ।'
20 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Jehovah; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."
यसकारण अभ, मेरो रगत परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट टाढा पृथ्वीमा नबगोस् । किनभने इस्राएलका राजा शिकारीले तित्रालाई पहाडहरूमा खेदेझैं एउटा उपियाँलाई खोज्न निस्केर आएका छन् ।”
21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Come back, my son David, for I will not harm you, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have behaved foolishly, and have made a great mistake."
तब शाऊलले भने, “मैले पाप गरेको छु । ए मेरा छोरा दाऊद फर्क । किनकि अब तिम्रो हानि गर्नेछैन, किनभने तिम्रो दृष्टिमा मेरो जीवन बहुमूल्य थियो । हेर, मैले मूर्खता गरेको छु र धेरै ठुलो गल्ती गरेको छु ।”
22 And David answered and said, "Look, the king's spear. Now let one of the young men come over and get it.
दाऊदले जवाफ दिए र भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, हे राजा, तपाईंको भाला यहाँ छ! जवान मानिसमध्ये एक जना यता आओस् र यसलाई तपाईंकहाँ लैजाओस् ।
23 Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Jehovah delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn't put forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed.
हरेक मानिसलाई आफ्नो धार्मिकता र विश्वस्तताको निम्ति परमप्रभुले नै इनाम दिनुभएको होस् । किनभने परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई आज मेरो हातमा दिनुभयो, तर मैले उहाँको अभिषिक्त जनलाई प्रहार गरिनँ ।
24 Look, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of Jehovah, and let him deliver me out of all oppression."
हेर्नुहोस्, आज मेरो दृष्टिमा जसरी तपाईंको जीवन बहुमूल्य थियो, त्यसरी नै मेरो जीवन परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा धेरै मूल्यवान होस् र उहाँले नै मलाई मेरा सबै कष्टहरूबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको होस् ।
25 Then Saul said to David, "You are blessed, my son. You will accomplish much, and will surely be successful." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
तब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “ए मेरा छोरा दाऊद, तिमीलाई आशिष् मिलोस्! तिमीले निश्चय नै ठुला कुराहरू गर्नेछौ र तिनमा तिमी सफल हुनेछौ ।” त्यसैले दाऊद आफ्नो बाटो लागे र शाऊल आफ्नै ठाउँतिर फर्के ।
