2 Samuel 2
1 It happened after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" Jehovah said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" He said, "To Hebron."
यसपछि दाऊदले परमप्रभुलाई सोधे र भने, “के म यहूदाका सहरमध्ये कुनै एउटामा जाऊँ?” पमरप्रभुले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “उक्लेर जा ।” दाऊदले भने, “म कुन सहरमा जाऊँ?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “हेब्रोनमा जा ।”
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
त्यसैले दाऊद तिनकी दुई पत्नीहरू यिजरेली अहीनोम र नाबालकी विधवा कार्मेली अबीगेलसहित माथि गए ।
3 and the men who were with him, everyone with his household. And they lived in Hebron.
दाऊदले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूलाई हेब्रोनमा ल्याए र तिनीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्नो परिवारहरू ल्याए, जहाँ तिनीहरू बसोबास गर्न थाले ।
4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that the men of Jabesh Gilead buried Saul,
त्यसपछि यहूदाका मानिसहरू आए र दाऊदलाई यहूदाको राजा अभिषेक गरे । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “याबेश- गिलादका मानिसहरूले शाऊलको दफन गरे ।”
5 then he sent messengers to the lords of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by Jehovah, since you showed loyalty towards your lord, Saul, and have buried him.
त्यसैले दाऊदले याबेश-गिलादमा दूतहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई परमप्रभुले आशिष् दिनुभएको होस्, किनभने तिमीहरूले आफ्ना मालिक शाऊलप्रति यो बफदारीता देखाएका छौ र उनको दफन गरेका छौ
6 Now may Jehovah show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
अब परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई करारको बफदारीता र विश्वासनीयता प्रकट गर्नुभएको होस् । म पनि तिमीहरूको भलो गर्ने छु किनभने तिमीहरूले यो काम गरेका छौ ।
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."
अब उप्रान्त, तिमीहरूको हात बलियो पार । साहसी होओ किनकि तिमीहरूका मालिक शाऊल मरेका छन् र यहूदाका घरानाले मलाई आफ्ना राजा अभिषेक गरेका छन् ।”
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Ishbaal the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
तर शाऊलका फौजका कमाण्डरले नेरका छोरा अबनेरले शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतलाई लिए र महनोममा ल्याए ।
9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Geshurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
उनले ईश्बोशेतलाई गिलाद, आशेर, यिजरेल, एफ्राइम, बेन्यामीन र सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए ।
10 Ishbaal, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी चालिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे । तर यहूदाको घरानाले दाऊदलाई नै पछ्याए ।
11 And the time that David ruled in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
दाऊद हेब्रोनमा यहूदाको घरानाको राजा भएका समय सात वर्ष छ महिना थियो ।
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
नेरका छोरा अबनेर र शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतका सेवकहरू महनोमबाट गिबोनमा गए ।
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
सरूयाहका छोरा योआब र दाऊदका सेवकहरू निस्के र तिनीहरूलाई गिबोनको तलाउनेर भेटे । त्यहाँ तिनीहरू एक समूह तलाउको एक छेउमा र अर्को समूह अर्को छेउमा बसे ।
14 Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." Joab said, "Let them arise."
अबनेरले योआबलाई भने, “जवान मानिसहरू उठुन् र हाम्रो सामुन्ने प्रतिस्पर्धा गरून् ।” योआबले भने, “तिनीहरू उठुन् ।”
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve of the sons of Benjamin of Ishbaal the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
त्यसपछि जवान मानिसहरू उठे र बेन्यामीन र शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतका निम्ति बाह्र जना र दाऊदका निम्ति बाह्र जना सँगै भेला भए ।
16 They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Field of Blades, which is in Gibeon.
हरेकले आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीलाई टाउकोमा समात्यो र आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीको कोखामा आ-आफ्नो तरवारले रोपे र तिनीहरू एकसाथ भुईंमा ढले । यसकारण, त्यस ठाउँलाई “हल्कत-हज्जुरीम” वा “तरवाको मैदान” भनियो जुन गिबोन हो ।
17 The battle was very severe that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
त्यस दिन घमसान लडाइँ भयो र अबनेर र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू दाऊदका सेवकहरूको सामुन्ने परास्त भए ।
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as quick on his feet as a wild gazelle.
सरूयाहका छोराहरू योआब, अबीशै र असाहेल थिए । असाहेल हरिण जत्तिकै छिटो दौडन सक्ने व्यक्ति थिए ।
19 Asahel pursued after Abner, and as he went he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
असाहेल नजिकबाट अबनेरलाई खेदे र तिनी दाहिने-देब्रे कतै नलागी खेदे ।
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" He answered, "It is I."
अबनेरले तिनलाई पछाडि हेरे र भने, “के तिमी असाहेल हौ?” तिनले भने, “हो, म हुँ ।”
21 Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not stop from pursuing him.
अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “दाहिने वा देब्रेतिर लाग जवान मानिसमध्ये एक जनालाई समातेर त्यसको हतियार लेऊ ।” तर असाहेलले यताउता फर्केनन् ।
22 Abner said again to Asahel, "Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?"
त्यसैले अबनेरले असाहेललाई फेरि भने, “मलाई खेद्न छोडिदेऊ । मैले तिमीलाई किन मारेर भुईंमा ढाल्ने? त्यसपछि मैले तिम्रो दाजु योआबकहाँ मेरो अनुहार कसरी देखाउनु?”
23 But he refused to stop. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stopped there.
तर असाहेलले तर्केर जान इन्कार गरे, र त्यसैले अबनेरले तिनलाई आफनो भालाको टुप्पोले शरीरमा रोपे, र भाला अर्कोपट्टि निस्क्यो । असाहेल ढले र त्यहीँ नै मरे । त्यसैले असाहेल ढलेर मरेका ठाउँमा आउने जो आउँथ्यो, त्यो रोकिन्थ्यो र खडा हुन्थ्यो ।
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
तर योआब र अबीशैले अबनेरलाई खेदिरहे । जब घाम डुब्न गइरहेको थियो, तिनीहरू अम्मा डाँडामा आइपुगे, जुन गिबोनको उजाडस्थान जाने बाटोको नजिक गीहनेर पर्छ ।
25 The sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and formed a single group, and stood on the top of a hill.
बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू सबै अबनेरको पछाडि भेला भए र डाँडाको टाकुरामा खडा भए ।
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to stop pursuing their brothers?"
त्यसपछि अबनेरले कराएर योआबलाई भने, “के सधैं तरवारले नाश गर्नैपर्छ? के त्यो अन्तमा तितो हुन्छ भनी तिमी जान्दैनौ? तिम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तिमीले आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई खेद्न छोड भन्नुभन्दा पहिले कति लामो समय हुने छ?”
27 Joab said, "As Jehovah lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning."
योआबले जवाफ दिए, “जस्तो परमेश्वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमीले त्यसो नभनेको भए मेरा सिपाहीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई बिहानसम्म नै खेद्ने थिए ।”
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stopped, and no longer chased after Israel, and they no longer fought.
त्यसैले योआबले तुरही फुके र तिनका सबै मानिसहरू रोकिए र फेरि इस्राएललाई खेदेनन् नत तिनीहरूले फेरि युद्ध गरे ।
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and marched the whole morning, and came to Mahanaim.
अबनेर र तिनका मानिसहरूले अराबाहुँदै रातभरि यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरू यर्दन तरे, भोलि बिहानभरि हिंडे र त्यसपछि महनोममा पुगे ।
30 Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
योआब अबनेरलाई लखेट्न छाडेर फर्के । तिनले आफ्ना सबै मानिसलाई भेला पारे जसमा असाहेल र दाऊदका उन्नाइस जना सिपाही मात्र भेट्टाइएनन् ।
31 But the servants of David had struck of the people of Benjamin, from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who died.
तर दाऊदका मानिसहरूले अबनेरसँग भएका ३६० जना मानिसलाई मारेका थिए ।
32 They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
त्यसपछि तिनीहरूके असाहेललाई लिए तिनका बुबाको चिहानमा गाडे, जुन बेथलेहेममा थियो । योआब र तिनका मानिसहरूले रातभरि यात्रा गरे र झिसमिसमा हेब्रोन पुगे ।
