2 Samuel 20
1 Now, in that place, there happened to be an abandoned man, whose name, was Sheba son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin, —so he blew a horn, and said—We have no share in David, Nor inheritance have we in the son of Jesse, Every man to his home, O Israel!
त्यही ठाउँमा बेन्यामिनी बिक्रीको छोरो शेबा नाउँको एक जना समस्या उत्पन्न गराउने मानिस थियो । त्यसले तुरही फुक्यो र भन्यो, “दाऊदसँग हाम्रो कुनै हिस्सा छैन, न त यिशैको छोरासँग हाम्रो कुनै उत्तराधिकार नै छ । ए इस्राएल, हरेक मानिस आआफ्ना घर जाओ ।”
2 Then went up all the men of Israel from following David, to follow Sheba son of Bichri, —but, the men of Judah, clave unto their king, from the Jordan, even as far as Jerusalem.
त्यसैले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले दाऊदलाई छोडे र बिक्रीको छोरा शेबाको पछि लागे । तर यहूदाका मानिसहरू यर्दन देखि यरूशलेमसम्म नै आफ्ना राजाको पछिपछि गए ।
3 And David entered into his own house, in Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and sustained them, but, unto them, went he not in, —so they were shut up until the day of their death, in lifelong widowhood.
जब दाऊद यरूशलेममा आफ्नो दरबारमा आए, तब उनले दरबारको हेरचाह गर्न छोडेका दश जना पत्नीलाई लिए र तिनले उनीहरूलाई पालेको अधीनमा एउटा घरमा राखे । उनले उनीहरूलाई चाहिने सबै कुरा जुटाइदिए, तर तिनी फेरि उनीहरूसँग सुतेनन् । त्यसैले उनीहरूको मृत्युको दिनसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई नजरबन्द गरियो, यसरी उनीहरू विधवाहरू भएझैं बसे ।
4 Then said the king unto Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah, within three days, —and, thou, here, take thy stand!
त्यसपछि राजाले अमासालाई भने, “तीन दिनभित्र यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गर । तिमी पनि यहाँ हुनुपर्छ ।”
5 So Amasa went, to assemble Judah, —but he tarried beyond the fixed time, which he had appointed him.
त्यसैले अमासा यहूदालाई बोलाउन गए तर तिनलाई राजाले तोकेको समयभन्दा तिनी ढिला भए ।
6 Then said David unto Abishai, Now, shall Sheba son of Bichri, do us more harm than Absolom, —thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue him, lest he have got him into fortified cities, and so have escaped our eye.
त्यसैले दाऊदले अबीशैलाई भने, “अब बिक्रीका छोरा शेबाले हामीलाई अब्शालोमले भन्दा धेरै हानि गर्ने छ । तिम्रो मालिकका सेवकहरू, अर्थात् मेरा सिपाहरूलाई लिएर जाऊ र त्यसलाई खेद नत्र त्यसले किल्लाबन्दी गरेको सहर भेट्टाउने छ र हाम्रा नजरबाट उम्किने छ ।”
7 Then went out after him—the men of Joab, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, —and they went out from Jerusalem, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
त्यसपछि योआबका मानिसहरू, करेतीहरू, पलेथीहरू र सबै वीर योद्धासँगै त्यसको पछिपछि गए । तिनीहरूले बिक्रीको छोरो शेबालाई खेदन यरूशलेमबाट विदा भए ।
8 When, they, were by the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa, had arrived before them. Now, Joab, was girded about with his war-coat as his upper garment, and, over it, a girdle with a sword, fastened upon his loins, in the sheath thereof, and, it, came out and fell.
जब तिनीहरू गिबोनको ठुलो ढुङ्गामा थिए, तब अमासा तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न आए । योआबले हातियार सहितको जङ्गी पोशाक लगाएका थिए जसको कम्मरमा पेटी र त्यसमा दापमा छुरा हुन्थ्यो । जसै तिनी अगि बढे, छुरा खस्यो ।
9 Then said Joab unto Amasa, Art thou, well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand, to kiss him.
त्यसैले योआबले अमासालाई भने, “हे मेरो भाइ, तिमीलाई ठिकै छ?” योआबले अमासालाई चुम्बन गर्न दाह्रीमा समाते ।
10 Amasa not heeding the sword that was in the hand of Joab, he smote him therewith in the belly, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and [struck] him not again, and he died. So, Joab and Abishai his brother, pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
अमासाले योबको देब्रे हातमा भएको छुरालाई ख्यालै गरेनन् । योआबले अमासाको पेटमा रोपिदिए र तिनको आन्द्राभुँडी जमिनमा झर्यो । योआबले तिनलाई अर्को पटक प्रहार गरेनन् र अमासा मरे । यसरी योआब र तिनको भाइ अबीशैले बिक्रीका छोरो शेबालाई पछ्याउँदै गए ।
11 Now, a man, stood over him, of the young men of Joab, —and said—Whosoever is well pleased with Joab, and whosoever pertaineth to David, let him follow Joab.
योआबका मानिसमध्ये एक जना अमासाको छेउमा खडा भयो र त्यो मानिसले भन्यो, “त्यो जसले योआबको पक्ष लिन्छ र त्यो जो दाऊदको पक्षमा छ, त्यसले योआबलाई पछ्याओस् ।”
12 But, Amasa, was wallowing in blood, in the midst of the highway, —and, when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa, out of the highway into the field, and cast over him a garment, as soon as he saw that every man that came up to him stood still.
अमासा बिच बाटोमा आफ्नै रगतमा यताउता पल्टिरहे । सबै मानिस चुपचाप खडा भएको त्यो मानिसले देखेपछि त्यसले अमासालाई घिसारेर बाटोदेखि बाहिर खेतमा लग्यो । त्यसले लासमाथि कपडाले छोपिदियो किनभने उसको छेउमा आउने हरेक मानिस खडा भएको त्यसले देख्यो ।
13 When he had removed him out of the highway, every man passed on, after Joab, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
अमासालाई बाटोदेखि बाहिर लगेपछि बिक्रीको छोरो शेबालाई खेद्न सबै मानिसले योआबलाई पछ्याए ।
14 And he passed on throughout all the tribes of Israel, unto Abel and unto Beth-maachah, and all the Berites, —and they were called together, and came in, yea and followed him.
शेबा इस्राएलका सबै कुल हुँदै गएर बेथ-माकाको हबिलमा पुग्यो र बरीहरूका सारा देशबाट भएर गयो जो एकसाथ भेला भए र शेबाको पछि लागे ।
15 So they came, and laid siege against him, in Abel, Beth-maachah, and they cast up a mound against the city, so that it stood within a rampart, —and, all the people who were with Joab, were battering the wall to throw it down.
तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बेथ-माकाको हाबिलमा भेट्टाए र घेराबन्दी गरे । तिनीहरूले सहरको विरुद्ध एउटा घेरा-मचान बनाए । योआबसँग भएका सबै फौजले पर्खाललाई ढाल्नलाई त्यसमा हिर्काउन लागे ।
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, —Hear ye! hear ye! I pray you, say unto Joab, Come near hither, and let me speak unto thee.
त्यसपछि एक जना बुद्धिमान स्त्रीले सहरबाट कराएर भनिन्, “ए योआब, सुन्नुहोस्, कृपया सुन्नुहोस्! मेरो नजिक आउनुहोस् र म तपाईंसँग कुरा गर्न सक्छु ।”
17 So he came near unto her, and the woman said, —Art thou Joab? And he said, —I am. And she said unto him, —Hear thou the words of thy handmaid. And he said, I do hear.
त्यसैले योआब तिनको नजिक गए र ती स्त्रीले भनिन्, “के तपाईं योआब हुनुहुन्छ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म हुँ ।” तब तिनलाई उनले भनिन्, “तपाईंकी दासीको कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म सुन्दै छु ।”
18 Then spake she, saying, —They, used to speak, in former times, saying, Enquire, in Abel! And, so, they ended it.
तब उनले भनिन्, “प्राचीन समयमा तिनीहरू भन्ने गर्थे, 'निश्चय हबिलमा सल्लाह लिन जाऊ,' र त्यो सल्लाहले कुरा मिल्थ्यो ।
19 I, am of the peaceable among the faithful in Israel, —thou, art seeking to put to death a city, and a mother in Israel, wherefore wouldst thou swallow up the inheritance of Yahweh?
इस्राएलको सबभन्दा शान्तिपूर्ण र विश्वासयोग्य हाम्रै सहर हो । तपाईंले इस्राएलको आमा सहरलाई नाश गर्न खोज्दै हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले परमप्रभुको उत्तराधिकारलाई किन निल्न चाहनुहुन्छ?
20 Then answered Joab and said, —Far be it! far be it from me! I will neither swallow up nor lay waste.
त्यसैले योआबले जवाफ दिए र भने, “मैले सहर निल्ने वा नाश गर्ने कुरा मबाट दूर रहोस् ।
21 Not so, is the matter! but, a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba son of Bichri, his name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David, give up him alone, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Lo! his head, shall be cast unto thee, through the wall.
त्यो सत्य होइन । तर बिक्रीको छोरा शेबा नाउँ गरेका एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको एक जना मानिसले दाऊद राजाको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो हात उठाएको छ । त्यसलाई मकहाँ सुम्पिदिनुहोस् र म सहरबाट पछि हट्ने छु ।” ती स्त्रीले योआबलाई भनिन्, “त्यसको टाउको पर्खालबाट बाहिर तपाईंकहाँ फालिने छ ।”
22 So the woman came unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast it out unto Joab. And he blew with a horn, and they dispersed themselves from the city, every man to his home; but, Joab, returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
त्यसपछि ती स्त्री आफ्नो बुद्धिमा सबै मानिसकहाँ गइन् । तिनीहरूले बिक्रीका छोरा शेबाको टाउको काटे र त्यो बाहिर योआबकहाँ फालिदिए । तब योआबले तुरही फुके र तिनका मानिसहरूले सहर छोडेर हरेक मानिस आआफ्नो घर गए । अनि योआबचाहिं यरूशलेममा राजाकहाँ फर्के ।
23 And, Joab, was [restored] unto all the army of Israel, —And, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
अब योआबचाहिं इस्राएलका सबै फौजका कमाण्डर थिए, र यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह करेतीहरू र पलेथीहरूका अधिकृत थिए ।
24 And, Adoniram, was over the tribute, —And, Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was the remembrancer;
अदोनीरामचाहिं ज्यालाबिना काम गर्नेहरूका अधिकृत थिए र अहीलूदका छोरा यहोशापात लेखापाल थिए ।
25 And, Sheva, was scribe, —And, Zadok and Abiathar, were priests;
शेभा शास्त्री र सादोक तथा अबियाथार पुजारीहरू थिए ।
26 Moreover also, Ira the Jairite, was chief ruler unto David.
याईरी ईरा दाऊदका मुख्य सेवक थिए ।
