1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
जब तिनले शाऊलसँग कुरा गरिसकेका थिए, तब जोनाथनको प्राण दाऊदको प्राणसँग बाँधियो र जोनाथनले तिनलाई आफ्नै प्राणलाई झैं प्रेम गरे ।
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
त्यस दिन शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नो सेवामा लिए । उनले तिनलाई आफ्नो बुबाको घरमा फर्कन दिएनन् ।
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
तब जोनाथन र दाऊदले मित्रताको करार बाँधे, किनभने जोनाथनले तिनलाई आफ्नै प्राणलाई झैं प्रेम गरे ।
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
जोनाथनले आफूले लगाइरहेका पोशाक फुकाले र आफ्नो हतियार, तरवार, धनु र पेटी सहित त्यो तिनले दाऊदलाई दिए ।
5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
शाऊलले जहाँ पठाए पनि दाऊद जान्थे, र तिनी सफल भए । शाऊलले तिनलाई युद्ध गर्ने मानिसहरूको उच्च पदमा स्थापित गरे । सबै मानिसहरू र शाऊलका सेवकहरूकै दृष्टिमा पनि यो कुरा असलै लाग्यो ।
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music.
जब तिनीहरू पलिश्तीहरूलाई पराजित गरेर आए, तब इस्राएलका सहरहरूबाट स्त्रीहरू खैंजडी र अन्य साङ्गितिक साधनहरूसँगै आनन्द साथ गाउँदै र चाँच्दै निस्के शाऊल राजालाई भेट्न आए ।
7 And the women sang one to another in their play, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
ती स्त्रीहरूले संगीतका साधनहरू बजाउँदै एकसाथ गीतहरू गाए । तिनीहरूले यसरी गाएः “शाऊलले हजारौंलाई मारेका छन् र दाऊदले दसौं हजारलाई मारेका छन् ।”
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
शाऊल रिसले चुर भए र यो गितले तिनलाई अप्रसन्न बनायो । तिनलेल भने, “तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई दसौं हजारको श्रेय दिए, तर तिनीहरूले मलाई भने हजारौं मात्रको श्रेय दिए । राजाको दर्जाबाहेक अब अरू बढी उसले के पाउनु छ र?”
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
शाऊलले त्यस दिनदेखि दाऊदलाई शंकाको दृष्टिे हेरे ।
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
भोलि पल्ट शाऊलमा परमेश्वरबाटको हानिकारक आत्मा आयो र तिनले घरभित्र नै अगमवाणी बोले । त्यसैले दाऊदले हरेक दिन गरेझैं आफ्नो सङ्गीतको साधन बजाए । शाऊलको हातमा भाला थियो ।
11 and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice.
शाऊलले भाला हाने, किनकि तिनले सोचे, “म दाऊदलाई भित्तामा छेडिदिन्छु ।” तर त्यो दिन दाऊद दुईपल्ट यसरी नै शाऊलको उपस्थितिबाट उम्के ।
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
परमप्रभु दाऊदसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो, तर शाऊलसँग फेरि हुनुभएन, यसैले शाऊल तिनीसँग डराए ।
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
त्यसैले शाऊलले तिनलाई आफ्नो उपस्थितिबाट हटाए र तिनलाई हजारको कमाण्डरमा नियुक्त गरे । यसरी दाऊद बाहिर निस्के र मानिसहरूको सामु आए ।
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
दाऊद आफ्ना मार्गमा सफलता पाए, किनभने परमप्रभु तिनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
15 And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
जब शाऊलले तिनको फलिफाप भएको देखे, तब उनलाई तिनको डर भयो ।
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
तर सारा इस्राएल र यहूदाले दाऊदलाई प्रेम गरे, किनभने उनीहरूका सामु तिनी भित्र-बाहिर गर्थे ।
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me. and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
तब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “मेरी जेठी छोरी मेराब यहाँ छिन् । तिनलाई म तिम्रो पत्नी हुनलाई दिनेछु । मेरो निम्ति मात्र साहसी हुनु र परमप्रभुको युद्ध लड्नुपर्छ ।” किनकि शाऊलले सोचे, “तिनीमाथि मेरो हात नपरोस्, तर तिनीमाथि पलिश्तीहरूको हात परोस् ।”
18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, [or] my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “म राजाको ज्वाइँ बन्न, म को हुँ र मेरा नातेदारहरू वा इस्राएलमा मेरो बुबाको कुल को हो र?”
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
तर शाऊलकी छोरी मेराबलाई दाऊदलाई पत्नीको रूपमा दिने बेलामा, तिनलाई महोलाको अद्रिएलको पत्नीको रूपमा दिइयो ।
20 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
तर शाऊलकी छोरी मीकलले दाऊदलाई प्रेम गर्थिन् । तिनीहरूलले दाऊदलाई भने र यो कुराले तिनी खुसी भए ।
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law a second time.
तब शाऊलले सोचे, “दाऊदसँग म त्यसकै विवाह गरिदिनेछु, ताकि त्यसको निम्ति यो एउटा पासो होस् र पलिश्तीहरूका हात उसको विरुद्धमा परोस् ।” यसरी शाऊलले दाऊदलाई दोस्रोपल्ट यसो भने, “तिमी मेरो ज्वाइँ हुनेछौ ।”
22 And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king’s son in law.
शाऊललले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई आज्ञा दिए, “दाऊदसँग गोप्यमा कुरा गर र यसो भन, 'हेर, राजा तिमीसँग खुसी हुनुहुन्छ, र उनका सबै सेवकहरूले तपाईंलाई मन पराउँछन् । त्यसो हो भने, अब राजाको ज्वाइँ हुनुहोस्' ।”
23 And Saul’s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king’s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
त्यसैले शाऊलका सेवकहरूले यी कुराहरू दाऊदलाई भने । तब दाऊदले भने, “के राजाको ज्वाइँ हुनु तपाईंहरूका निम्ति सानो कुरा हो, किनकि म त गरीब र तुच्छ मानिस हुँ?”
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
शाऊलका सेवहरूले दाऊदले भनेका यी कुराहरू उनलाई बताए ।
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
त्यसपछि शाऊलले भने, “दाऊदलाई यसो भन, 'राजाले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूमाथि बद्ला लिनलाई दुलहीको मूल्य पलिश्तीहरूको सयवटा खलडीबाहेक कुनै कुरा चाहनुहुन्न' ।” दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूको हातबाट मरून् भन्ने शाऊलको विचार थियो ।
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law. And the days were not expired;
जब तिनका सेवकहरूले दाऊदलाई यी कुराहरू बताए, तब दाऊद राजाको ज्वाइँ हुन राजी भए ।
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
ती दिन सिद्धिनअगि नै, दाऊद आफ्ना मानिसहरूसँग गए र दुई सय जना पलिश्तीहरूलाई मारे । दाऊदले तिनीहरूका खलडी ल्याए र तिनीहरूले राजालाई त्यो पूर्ण संख्यामा दिए, ताकि तिनी राजाका ज्वाइँ हुन सकून् । त्यसैले शाऊलले तिनकी छोरी मीकललाई उनको पत्नी हुनलाई दिए ।
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
परमप्रभु दाऊदसँग हुनुभएको र शाऊलकी छोरी मीकलले तिनलाई प्रेम गरेको जब शाऊलले देखे र थाहा पाए,
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
तब दाऊदसँग शाऊल झन् धेरै डराए । शाऊल निरन्तर रूपमा दाऊदका शत्रु भए ।
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू युद्ध गर्न आए र तिनीहरू जति पटक युद्ध गर्न आए पनि दाऊदचाहिं तिनीहरूमाथि शाऊलका अन्य सेवकहरूभन्दा धेरै सफल भए, जसले गर्दा तिनको नाउँको उच्च कदर गरिएको थियो ।
