1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that, the Amalekites, had made a raid into the South, and into Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
जब दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू तेस्रो दिनमा सिक्लगमा आए, अमालेकीहरूले नेगेव र सिक्लगलाई लूटेका थिए । तिनीहरूले सिग्लगलाई आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई आगोले लगाए,
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were therein, from small even unto great, they had not put one to death, —but had driven them forth, and gone their way.
र यसमा भएका स्त्रीहरू र साना-ठुला हरेकलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले कसैलाई पनि मारेनन्, तर तिनीहरू आफ्नो बाटो जाँदा तिनीहरूलाई लिएर गए ।
3 So, when David and his men came to the city, lo! it was burnt with fire, —and, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
जब दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू त्यो सहरमा आए, यसलाई जलाइएको थियो र तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरू, छोराहरू र छोरीहरूलाई कैदीको रूपमा लगिएका थियो ।
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice, and wept, —until they had no more strength to weep.
जब दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरू डाँको छोडेर तिनीहरूमा रुने शक्ति नै नभएसम्म रोए ।
5 And, the two wives of David, had been taken captive, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
दाऊदका दुवै पत्नीहरू यिजरेली अहीनोम र कार्मेली नाबालकी पत्नी अबीगेललाई कैदीको रूपमा लगिएका थियो ।
6 And David was in sore distress, for the people had spoken of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were embittered, every man for his own sons and for his own daughters, —but David emboldened himself in Yahweh his God.
दाऊद साह्रै व्याकु भए, किनभने मानिसहरूले तिनलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्ने कुरा गरिरहेका थिए, किनकि सबै मानिसहरूको मन आ-आफ्नो छोराहरू र छोरीहरूका निम्ति तितो भएको थियो । तर दाऊदले परमप्रभु परमेश्वरमा आफूलाई शक्तिशाली बनाए ।
7 Then said David to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, Do bring near me, I pray thee, the ephod. So Abiathar brought near the ephod, unto David.
दाऊदले पुजारी अहीमेलेकका छोरा अबीयाथारलाई भने, “बिन्ती छ, यहाँ मकहाँ एपोद ल्याऊ ।” अबीयाथारले दाऊदकहाँ एपोद ल्याए ।
8 And David enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.
दाऊदले निर्देशनको निम्ति परमप्रभुसँग यसरी प्रार्थना गरे, “के मैले यो फौजको पिछा गरे भने, म तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टाउन सक्छु?” परमप्रभुले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “खेदेर जा, किनकि तैंले तिनीहरूलाई निश्चय नै भेट्टाउनेछस् र तैंले निश्चय नै सबै थोक छुटाउनेछस् ।”
9 So David went, he, and the six hundred men, who were with him, and they came in as far as the ravine of Besor, —where, they who had to be left behind, stayed.
त्यसैले दाऊद, आफू र आफूसँग भएका छ सय जना मानिस लिएर गए । तिनीहरू बसोरको खोल्सामा आए, जहाँ छोडिएकाहरू बसेका थिए ।
10 But David pursued, he. and four hundred men, —but the two hundred men stayed, because they were too wearied to cross over the ravine of Besor.
तर दाऊदले आफू र आफूसँग भएका चार सय जान मानिसले पिछा गरिरहे, किनकि दुई सय जना पछाडी नै बसे, जो यति धेरै थाकेका थिए, कि तिनीहरू बसोर खोल्सा पारि जान सकेनन् ।
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and took him unto David, —and gave him food, and he did eat, and they gave him water to drink;
तिनीहरूले एक जना मिश्रीलाई खेतमा भेट्टाए र उसलाई दाऊदकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले उसलाई रोटी दिए र उसले खायो । तिनीहरूले उसलाई पानी पिउन दिए ।
12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two cakes of raisins, and, when he had eaten, his spirit came back unto him, —for he had neither eaten food, nor drunk water, three days and three nights.
र तिनीहरूले उसलाई एक डल्लो नेभारा र दुई झुप्पा किशमिश दिए । जब उसले ती खाइसक्यो, उसले फेरि शक्ति पायो, किनकि उसले तिन दिन र तिन रातदेखि रोटी खाएको वा पानी पिएको थिएन ।
13 Then David said to him—Whose art thou? and whence art thou? And he said, A young man of Egypt, am I, servant to an Amalekite, and my lord left me behind, because I fell sick, three days ago.
दाऊदले उसलाई सोधे, “तिमी को हौ? तिमी कहाँबाट आएका हौ?” उसले भन्यो, “म मिश्रको एक जना जवान मानिस, अमालेकीको सेवक हुँ । मेरो मालिकले मलाई छोडे, किनभने तिन दिनअघि म बिरामी भएँ ।
14 As for us, we invaded the South of the Cherithites, and against that which pertaineth unto Judah, and against the South of Caleb, —and, Ziklag, burned we with fire.
हामीले करेतीहरूको नेगेव, यहूदाको भाग, कालेबको नेगेवलाई लूट्यौं र सिग्लगमा आगो लगायौं ।”
15 And David said unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said—Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto this troop.
दाऊदले उसलाई भने, “के तिमीले मलाई यो लूटपाट गर्ने समूहकहाँ लैजान सक्छौ?” त्यो मिश्रीले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई मार्नुहुन्न वा मलाई मेरो मालिकको हातमा सुम्पनुहुन्न भनी परमेश्वरको नाउँमा शपथ खानुहोस् र म तपाईंलाई यो लूटपाट गर्ने समूहकहाँ लानेछु ।”
16 So he brought him down, and lo! they were left to themselves over the face of all the land, —eating, and drinking, and dancing around, for all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
जब त्यो मिश्रीले दाऊदलाई तल ल्याए, तब लूटपाट गर्नेहरू मैदानभरि छरिएर तिनीहरूले पलिश्तीहरूको देश र यहूदाको देशबाट लिएका सबै लूटका मालको कारणले खाँदै, पिउँदै र नाच्दै थिए ।
17 And David smote them, from the closing twilight even unto the evening of the next day, —and there escaped not of them a man, save four hundred young men who rode upon camels, and fled.
दाऊदले तिनीहरूलाई बिहान सबैरैदेखि अर्को दिनको साँझसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे । ऊँटमा चढेर भागेका चार सय जना जवान मानिसबाहेक एक जना पनि उम्केनन् ।
18 And David rescued all whom the Amalekites had taken, —his two wives also, did David rescue;
अमालेकीहरूले लगेका सबै थोक दाऊदले पुनः प्राप्त गरे । अनि दाऊदले आफ्नी दुई जना पत्नीलाई पनि छुटाए ।
19 and there was nothing missing to them—whether small or great, whether spoil, or sons or daughters, or, any thing which they had taken unto themselves, —the whole, did David recover.
कुनै पनि कुरा पनि गुमेनन्, न साना न त ठुला, न छोराहरू न त छोरीहरू, न त लूटपाट गर्नेहरूले कब्जा गरेका कुनै कुरा नै गुम्यो । दाऊदले हरेक कुरा फिर्ता ल्याए ।
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, —they drave them before those other cattle, and they said, This, is David’s spoil.
दाऊदले सबै बेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु ल्याए, जसलाई मानिसहरूले अरू गाइवस्तुको अगि धपाए । तिनीहरूले भने, “यो दाऊदको लूटको माल हो ।”
21 And David came unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, —and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success.
दाऊदको पछि जानलाई साह्रै कमजोर भएका दुई सय जना मानिसकहाँ तिनी आए, जसलाई अरूले बसोरको खोल्सामा नै बस्न लगाएका थिए । दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानसिहरूलाई भेट्न यी मानिसहरू अगाडि गए । जब दाऊद यी मानिसकहाँ आए, तब तिनले उनीहरूलाई अभिवादन गरे ।
22 Then responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said—Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, —save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, and go.
तब दाऊदसँग गएका सबै दुष्ट र वेकामका मानिसले भने, “यी मानिसहरू हामीसँग नगएका हुनाले हामीले फिर्ता ल्याएका कुनै पनि लूटका मालहरू हामी तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछैनौं । हरेक मानिसले आफ्ना पत्नी र छोराछोरी लिन र तिनीहरूलाई लिएर जान सक्छ ।”
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, —with that which Yahweh hath given to us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
तब दाऊदले भने, “मेरा भाइ हो, परमप्रभुले हामीलाई दिनुभएको कुरामा तिमीहरूले यस्तो व्यवहार गर्नुहुँदैन । उहाँले हाम्रो सुरक्षा गर्नुभएको छ र हाम्रो विरुद्धमा आउने लूटपाट गर्नेहरूलाई हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पनुभएको छ ।
24 Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores—alike, shall they share.
तिमीहरूको यो कुरा कसले सुन्नेछ? किनभने युद्धमा जानेहरूको हिस्सा जत्ति हुन्छ सामानहरू कुर्नेहरूको हिस्सा पनि त्यत्ति नै हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले बाँड्नेछन् अनि बराबर बाँड्नेछन् ।”
25 And so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto Israel, until this day.
त्यस दिनदेखि आजको दिनसम्म यस्तै चलन छ, किनभने दाऊदले यसलाई इस्राएलको निम्ति नियम र आदेश नै बनाए ।
26 And, when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil, unto the elders of Judah, unto his friends, saying, —Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh:
जब दाऊद सिक्लगमा आए, तिनले आफ्ना मित्रहरू अर्थात् यहूदाका धर्म-गुरुहरुलाई केही लूटका मालहरू पठाएर भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुका शत्रहरूबाट लिइएका लुटका मालबाट तपाईंहरूका निम्ति उपहार यहाँ छ ।”
27 to them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir,
तिनले बेथेलमा भएका, दक्षिणको रामोतमा, यत्तीरमा भएकाहरू,
28 and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa,
र अरोएरमा भएका, सिपमोतमा भएका, एश्तामिमा भएका धर्म-गुरुहरुलाई केही पठाए ।
29 and to them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites,
तिनले केही कुरा राकालमा भएका, यरहमेलीहरूका सहरहरूमा भएका, केनीहरूका सहरमा भएका,
30 and to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them who were in Athach,
होर्मामा भएका, बोर-आशानमा भएका, अत्ताकमा भएका,
31 and to them who were in Hebron, —and to all the places where David had been to and fro, he and his men.
र हेब्रोनमा भएका र दाऊद आफै र आफ्ना मानिसहरू सधैं जाने गरेका सबै ठाउँतिर पनि केही पठाए ।
