1 Samuel 28
1 It happened in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you are to go out with me to battle, you and your men."
ती दिनहरूमा पलिश्तीहरूले इस्रएलसँग युद्ध गर्न आफ्नो फौज सँगै भेला पारे । आकीशले दाऊदलाई भने, “तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरू मसँगै सेनामा जानेछौ भन्ने जानी राख ।”
2 David said to Achish, "Therefore you shall know what your servant will do." Achish said to David, "therefore I will make you my bodyguard for ever."
दाऊदले आकीशलाई भने, “तपाईंको दासले के गर्न सक्छ भन्ने तपाईंले जान्नु हुनेछ ।” आकीशले दाऊदलाई भने, “त्यसैले म तिमीलाई तिम्रो जीवनकाल भरि नै मेरो अङ्गरक्षक बनाउनेछु ।”
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had removed the mediums, and spiritists, from the land.
यति बेला शमूएल मरिसकेका थिए, र सारा इस्राएलले तिनको निम्ति विलाप गरेका र तिनलाई आफ्नै सहर रामामा दफन गरेका थिए । शाऊलले मृतक र आत्माहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरूलाई देशमा निषेध गरेका थिए ।
4 The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and camped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped in Gilboa.
तब पलिश्तीहरू आफूलाई एकसाथ भेला पारे र शूनेममा आएर छाउनी हाले । अनि शाऊलले सबै इस्राएललाई एकसाथ भेला पारे र तिनीहरूले गिल्बोमा छाउनी हाले ।
5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
जब शाऊलले पलिश्तीहरूको फौज देखे, तब तिनी डराए र तिनको हृदय अति नै डरायो ।
6 When Saul inquired of Jehovah, Jehovah did not answer him, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
शाऊलले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे तर परमप्रभुले न सपनामा, न त ऊरीममा, न त अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा नै कुनै जवाफ दिनुभयो ।
7 Then Saul said to his servants, "Find for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." His servants said to him, "Look, there is a woman who is a medium at Endor."
तब शाऊलले आफ्नो सेवकहरूलाई भने, “मृतकसँग कुरा गर्ने एक जना स्त्री मेरो निम्ति खोजेर ल्याओ, ताकि त्यसकहाँ म जान र त्यसको सल्लाह खोज्न सकूँ ।” तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, मृतकसँग कुरा गर्न सक्ने दाबी गर्ने एक जना स्त्री एन्दोरमा छिन् ।”
8 Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Divine a spirit for me, please, and bring up for me the one whom I name to you."
शाऊलले आफू भेष बदले र अर्कै पोशाक लगाएर, तिनी र तिनीसँग भएका दुई जना मानिसहरू गए । तिनीहरू त्यो स्त्री कहाँ राती गए । तिनले भने, “म बिन्ती गर्छु मेरो निम्ति आत्मासँग कुरा गरि देऊ र मैले जसको नाउँ भन्छु त्यो मलाई ल्याइदेऊ ।”
9 The woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and spiritists out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"
स्त्रीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, शाऊलले के गर्नुभएको छ सो तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छ, उनले मृतक वा आत्माहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरूलाई कसरी देशबाट निष्काषण गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसैले मलाई मर्नलाई किन मेरो जीवनलाई जालमा फसाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ?”
10 But Saul swore to her, saying, "As Jehovah lives, no punishment will come upon you for this thing."
शाऊलले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाए र भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमीलाई यो कुराको निम्ति कुनै दण्ड हुनेछैन ।”
11 Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up to you?" He said, "Bring Samuel up for me."
तब ती स्त्रीले भनिन्, “म तपाईंको निम्ति कसलाई ल्याउँ?” शाऊलले भने, “मेरो निम्ति शमूएललाई ल्याइदेऊ ।”
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul."
जब ती स्त्रीले शमूएल देखिन्, तब तिनले ठुलो सोरले चिच्याइन् र भनिन्, “तपाईंले मलाई किन छल गर्नुभयो? किनकि तपाईं नै शाऊल हुनुहुन्छ ।”
13 The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. For what do you see?" The woman said to Saul, "I see a god coming up out of the earth."
राजाले उनलाई भने, “नडराऊ । तिमीले के देख्छौ?” ती स्त्रीले शाऊललाई भनिन्, “पृथ्वीबाट एउटा देवता आइरहेको म देख्छु ।”
14 He said to her, "What does he look like?" She said, "An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe." Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
तिनले उनलाई भने, “त्यो कस्तो छ?” उनले भनिन्, “एउटा वृद्ध मानिस माथि आइरहेका छन् । यिनले खा्सटो ओढेका छन् ।” यिनी शमूएल हुन् भनी शाऊलले भनी बुझे र तिनले घोप्टो परेर दण्डवत गरे र आदर प्रकट गरे ।
15 And Samuel said, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am very distressed, for the Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me and no longer answers me, either by prophets, or by dreams. So therefore I have called on you, that you may make known to me what I should do."
शमूएलले शाऊललाई भने, “तिमीले किन मेरो शान्ति भङ्ग गर्यौ र मलाई माथि ल्यायौ?” शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “म अति नै व्याकुल छु, किनभने पलिश्तीहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध युद्ध गरिरहेका छन्, र परमेश्वरले मलाई छोड्नुभएको छ र मलाई न अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा न त सपनाहरूद्वारा नै जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ । यसकारण मैले तपाईंलाई बोलाएको हुँ, ताकि मैले के गर्नुपर्ने हो सो तपाईंले मलाई प्रकट गर्नुहोस् ।”
16 Samuel said, "Why then do you ask of me, since Jehovah has departed from you and is with your neighbor?
शमूएलले भने, “तब परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई छोड्नुभएको र उहाँ नै तिम्रो शत्रु हुनुभएको हुनाले तिमीले मलाई के सोध्छौ?
17 Jehovah has done to you as he spoke by me. Jehovah has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David.
परमप्रभुले जे गर्छु भन्नुभएको छ सो उहाँले गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुले राज्यलाई तिम्रो हातबाट खोस्नुभएको छ र उहाँले अरू कसैलाई अर्थात् दाऊदलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
18 Because you did not obey the voice of Jehovah, and did not execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore Jehovah has done this thing to you this day.
किनभने तिमीले परमप्रभुको आवाज पालन गरेनौ र अमालेकमाथि उहाँको भयङ्कर क्रोध पुरा गरेनौ, यसकारण उहाँले तिमीलाई आज यसो गर्नुभएको छ ।
19 Moreover Jehovah will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons with you will fall. Jehovah will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines."
परमप्रभुले तिमीसँगै इस्राएललाई पलिश्तीहरूको हातमा सुम्पनुहुनेछ, र भोलि तिमी र तिम्रो छोराहरू मसँग हुनेछौ । परमप्रभुले इस्राएको फौजलाई पनि पलिश्तीहरूको हातमा दिनुहुनेछ ।”
20 Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of the words of Samuel. There was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
तब शाऊल तुरुन्तै भूइँमा लम्पसार परेर लमतन्न परे र शमूएलको कुराले अति नै डराए । तिनमा कुनै बल नै थिएन, किनकि तिनले त्यो दिनभरि र रातमा पनि कुनै खाने कुरा खाएका थिएनन् ।
21 And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was terrified, and said to him, "Look, your servant has obeyed you, and I have put my life in my hand and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
ती स्त्री शाऊलकहाँ आइन् र तिनी साह्रै ठुलो कष्टमा परेको देखिन्, उनलले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंकी दासीले तपाईंको कुरा सुनेकी छिन् । मेरो जीवनलाई मैले जोखिममा पारेको छु र तपाईंले भन्नुभएको कुरा पालन गरेकी छु ।
22 Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength, when you go on your way."
यसकारण अब म तपाईंलाई बिन्ती गर्छु, तपाईंकी दासीको कुरा सुन्नुहोस् र तपाईंलाई थोरै खाने कुरा दिन अनुमति दिनुहोस् । खानुहोस् ताकि तपाईं बाटो जानुहुँदा तपाईंलाई शक्ति मिलोस् ।”
23 But he refused, and said, "I will not eat." But his servants, together with the woman, pressed him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the ground, and sat on the bed.
तर शाऊलले इन्कार गरे र भने, “मैले खाने छैन ।” तर ती स्त्रीसहित तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई बाध्य बनाए र तिनले तिनीहरूको कुरा माने । त्यसैले तिनी भूइँबाट उठे र ओछ्यानमा बसे ।
24 The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
ती स्त्रीको घरमा पालेको एउटा बाछो थियो । उनले त्यसलाई हतार काटिन् । उनले पिठो लिइन् र मुछिन् अनि यसको अखमिरी रोटी पकाइन् ।
25 She brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
उनले यो शाऊल र तिनका सेवकहरूकहाँ ल्याइन् र तिनीहरूले खाए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू उठे र त्यही रातमा निस्किए ।
