1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,
शाऊलले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी तिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले इस्रालमाथि चालिस वर्ष राज्य गरेका थिए,
2 that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.
तिनले इस्राएलका तिन हजार जना मानिसहरूलाई चुने । दुई हजार जना मानिसहरू तिनीसँगै मिकमाशमा र बेथेलको पहाडी देशमा थिए, जबकि एक हजार जना मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनको गिबामा जोनाथनसँग थिए । सिपाहीहरूमध्ये बाँकीलाई तिनले आ-आफ्नो घरमा पठाए ।
3 Now Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was at Gibeah, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."
जोनातनले गिबामा भएको पलिश्तीहरूका चौकीलाई पराजित गरे र पलिश्तीहरूले यो सुने । तब शाऊलले “हिब्रूहरूले सुनून्” भन्दै देशभरि तुरही फुके ।
4 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines. So the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
शऊलले पलिश्तीहरूका चौकीलाई हराए र अझै इस्राएल पलिश्तीहरूको निम्ति दुर्गन्ध बनेका थिए भन्ने सबै इस्राएलले सुने । तब गिलगालमा शऊलकहाँ आउन सबै सिपाहरूलाई बोलाइयो ।
5 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
पलिश्तीहरू तिन हजार रथहरू, छ हजार रथ हाँक्नेहरू र समुद्र किनारको बालुवा सरी असंख्या सेनाहरू लिएर इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्न एकसाथ भेला भए । तिनीहरू माथि आए र बेथ-आवनको पूर्वमा मिकमाशमा छाउनी हाले ।
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were in a difficult situation), then the people hid themselves in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आफूहरू कष्टमा परेको देखे, किनभने मानिसहरू व्याकुल थिए, मानिसहरू ओढारहरूतिर, झाडीहरूभित्र, चट्टानहरूमा, इनारहरूमा र खाल्डोहरूमा लुके ।
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
केही हिब्रूहरू यर्दन पारि गाद र गिलादको भूभागतिर गए । तर शाऊल अझ पनि गिगालमा नै थिए र सबै मानिसहरू डरले काम्दै तिनको पछि लागे ।
8 And he stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon him.
तिनले शमूएलले तोकेका समय सात दिनसम्म पर्खे । तर शमूएल गिलगालमा आएनन् र मानिसहरू शाऊलदेखि तितरबितर भइरहेका थिए ।
9 Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
शाऊलले भने, “मलाई होमबलि र मेलबलि ल्याओ ।” अनि तिनले होमबलि चढाए ।
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
तिनले होमबलि चढाउन सिद्ध्याउने बित्तिकै शमूएल आइपुगे । शाऊल तिनलाई भेट्न र अभिवादन गर्न निस्के ।
11 Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
त्यसपछि शमूएलले भने, “तपाईंले यो के गर्नुभएको?” शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “जब मानिसहरूले मलाई छोडिरहेको मैले देखें र तोकिएको समयभित्र तपाईं आउनुभएन र पलिश्तीहरू मिकमाशमा भेला भएका थिए,
12 therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of YHWH.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering."
मैले भने, 'अब पलिश्तीहरू गिलगालमा मेरो विरुद्धमा आउनेछन् र मैले परमप्रभुको निगाह खोजेको छैन ।' त्यसैले होमबलि चढाउन मैले आफैलाई दवाव दिएँ ।”
13 Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of YHWH your God, which he commanded you; for now YHWH would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
तब शमूएलले शाऊललाई भने, “तपाईंले मूर्खतापूर्वक काम गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको आज्ञा तपाईंले पालन गर्नुभएको छैन । त्यसो गरेको भए परमप्रभुले इस्राएलमाथि तपाईंको शासन सदाको निम्ति स्थापित गर्नुहुनेथियो ।
14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. YHWH has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and YHWH has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which YHWH commanded you."
तर अब तपाईंको शासनले निरन्तरता पाउनेछैन । परमप्रभुले आफ्नोजस्तो हृदय भएको एक जना मानिसको खोजी गर्नुभएको छ र परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका शासक हुन तिनलाई नियुक्त गर्नुभएको छ, किनभने उहाँले तपाईंलाई दिनुभएको आज्ञा तपाईंले पालन गर्नुभएको छैन ।”
15 And Samuel arose and departed from Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
तब शमूएल उठे र गिलगालबाट बेन्यामीनको गिबातिर गए । तब शाऊलले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूको गन्ती गरे, तिनीहरू झण्डै छ सय जना मानिसहरू थिए ।
16 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.
शाऊल, तिनको छोरा जोनाथन र तिनीहरूसँग भएका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनको गिबामा नै बसे । तर पलिश्तीहरूले मिकमाशमा छाउनी हाले ।
17 The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीबाट लुट्ने तिन समूह आए । एउटा समूह शूआलको भूमि ओप्रातिर लागे ।
18 and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
अर्को समूह बेथ-होरोनतिर गए र अर्को समूह उजाड-स्थानतिर सबोईंको बेंसी देखिने सिमानातिर लागे ।
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."
इस्राएलभरि कुनै फलामको काम गर्ने मानिसहरू भेट्टाउन सकिंदैनथ्यौ, किनभने पलिश्तीहरूले भने, “नत्रता हिब्रूहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति भालाहरू र तरवारहरू बनाउँछन् ।”
20 But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
तर इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना फाली, कोदालो, बन्चरो र हँसिया अर्जाप्न तल पलिश्तीहरूकहाँ जाने गर्थे ।
21 and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads.
फाली र कोदालो अर्जाप्नको निम्ति दुई तिहाइ शेकेल अनि बन्चरो अर्जाप्नको र फाली अडाउने करुवा सोझ्याउन एक तीहाइ शेकेल ज्याला थियो ।
22 So on the day of the battle of Michmash there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
त्यसैले युद्धको दिनमा शाऊल र जोनाथनसँग भएका सिपाहरूका हातमा कुनै तरवार वा बाला थिएन । शाऊल र तिनका छोरा जोनाथनसँग मात्र ती थिए ।
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
पलिश्तीहरूको फौज मिकमाशको घाटीमा गयो ।
