1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
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 unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach upon 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 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the borders of Israel: and then, if there be none to save us, we will come out to thee.
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 came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and spake 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 And, behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And 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 And the spirit of God came mightily upon 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 And 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, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the dread of the LORD 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 And 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 they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have deliverance. And 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 unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
तब याबेशका मानिसहरूले नाहाशलाई भने, “भोलि हामी तपाईंकहाँ आत्मासमर्पण गर्नेछौं, र तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो हामीमाथि गर्नुहोस् ।”
11 And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not 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 And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the 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 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for today the LORD hath wrought deliverance in Israel.
तर शाऊलले भने, “आजको दिन कसैलाई मारिनेछैन, किनभने परमप्रभुले आज इस्राएललाई छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ ।”
14 Then said Samuel 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 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; 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 ।
