2 Samuel 3
1 And the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was prolonged, —and, David, waxed stronger and stronger, and, the house of Saul, became weaker and weaker.
अब शाऊलका घराना र दाऊदका घरानाका बिच लामो समयसम्म युद्ध भइरह्यो । दाऊद झन्-झन् बलियो हुँदै गए, तर शाऊलको घराना झन्-झन् कमजोर हुँदै गयो ।
2 And there were born unto David, sons, in Hebron, —and it came to press that—His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess;
हेब्रोनमा दाऊदका छोराहरू जन्मे । तिनका जेठा छोरा यिजरेली अहीनोमबाट जन्मेका अमनोन थिए ।
3 And his second Chileab, by Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite, And the third Absolom, son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
तिनका महिला छोरा नाबबालकी विधवा कर्मेली अबीगेलबाट जन्मेका किलाब थिए । साहिंला छोरा अब्शालोम, जो गशूरका राजा तल्मैकी छोरी माकाका छोरा थिए ।
4 And the fourth Adonijah, son of Higgith, —And the fifth Shephatiah, son of Abital;
दाऊदका कहिंलो छोरा अदोनियाहचाहिं हग्गीतका छोरा थिए । तिनका ठाहिंला छोरा शपत्याहचाहिं अबीतलका छोरा थिए,
5 And the sixth Ithream, by Eglah wife of David. These, were born unto David, in Hebron.
कान्छो छोरा यित्राम दाऊदकी पत्नी एग्लाका छोरा थिए । होब्रोनमा जन्मेका दाऊदका छोराहरू यिनै थिए ।
6 And it came to pass, while the war continued between the house of Saul and the house of David, that, Abner, shewed himself courageous for the house of Saul.
शाऊलका घराना र दाऊदका घराना बिचको युद्धको समयमा शाऊलको घरानामा अबनेरले आफूलाई निकै शक्तिशाली बनाए ।
7 Now, Saul, had a concubine, whose name, was Rizpah daughter of Aiah, —and [Ish-bosheth] said unto Abner, Why, wentest thou in, unto my father’s concubine?
अय्याकी छोरी रिश्पा शाऊलकी उपपत्नी थिइन् । ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई भने, “तिमी मेरो बुबाको उपपत्नीसँग किन सुतेको?”
8 And it provoked Abner greatly, on account of the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said—Am I, the head of the dogs, that pertain unto Judah? To-day, would I deal in lovingkindness with the house of Saul thy father, towards his brethren, and towards his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, —and yet thou hast charged upon me the transgression of the woman, today.
त्यसपछि ईश्बोशेतको कुराले अबनेर रिसले आगो भए र भने, “के म यहूदाको कुकुर हुँ? आज म तपाईंलाई दाऊदको हातमा नसुम्पेर तपाईंको बुबा शाऊको घराना, तिनका भाइहरू र तिनका मित्रहरूप्रति बफदारीता देखाइरहेको छु । तर अहिले तपाईंले मलाई यो स्त्रीको बारेको अपराधको दोष लगानुहुन्छ?
9 So, may God do unto Abner, and, so, may he add to him, —if, as Yahweh hath sworn unto David, even so, I deal not with him;
पमरप्रभुले गर्छु भनी दऊदसित शपथ खानुभएझैं मैले तिनलाई गरिनँ भने, परमेश्वरले म अबनेरलाई यो वा योभन्दा बढी गर्नुभएको होस्,
10 by turning over the kingdom from the house of Saul, —and establishing the throne of David, over Israel and over Judah, from Dan, even unto Beer-sheba.
जसमा शाऊलको घरानाको राज्य हस्तान्तरण गर्न, र इस्राएलमाथि र यहूदामाथि दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मै दाऊदको सिंहासन स्थापित गर्न ।”
11 And he could no further answer Abner, a word, —because he feared him.
ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरलाई अर्को शब्द केही पनि भन्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीसँग उनी डराए ।
12 So Abner sent messengers unto David, on the spot, saying—Whose, is the land? Saying [also] —Solemnise thy covenant with me; and lo! my hand, shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee, all Israel.
त्यसपछि अबनेरले यसो भन्दै दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए, “यो देश कसको हो? मसँग एउटा करार गर्नुहोस् र सारा इस्राएललाई तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउन मेरो हात तपाईंसँग भएको तपाईंले देख्नुहुने छ ।”
13 And he said—Good! I, will solemnise with thee a covenant, —but, one thing, must I ask of thee, saying—Thou shalt not see my face, except thou have brought in Michal, Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “राम्रो, तिमीसँग एउटा करार गर्नेछु । तर तिमी मलाई भेट्न आउँदा म तिमीबाट एउटा कुरा चाहन्छु, पहिले शाऊलकी छोरी मीकल नल्याएसम्म तिमीले मेरो मुख हेर्न पाउने छैनौ ।”
14 And David sent messengers unto Ish-bosheth son of Saul, saying, —Give up my wife, Michal, whom I espoused to myself, for a hundred foreskins of Philistines.
त्यसपछि दाऊदले यसो भन्दै शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए, “मलाई मेरी पत्नी मीकल देऊ, जसलाई मैले सय जना पलिश्तीको खलडीको मूल्य तिरें ।”
15 So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband, —from Paltiel, son of Laish.
त्यसैले ईश्बोशेतले मीकललाई लिन पठाए र तिनलाई तिनको पति लैशका छोरा पल्तिएलकहाँबाट ल्याए ।
16 And her husband went along with her, weeping as he went behind her, as far as Behurim, —when Abner said unto him—Go, return. And he returned.
तिनको पति रुँदै-रुँदै तिनसँगै गए र बहूरीमसम्म तिनलाई पछ्याए । तब अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “अब घर फर्क ।” त्यसैले तिनी फर्के ।
17 Then had Abner, speech, with the elders of Israel, saying, —In times past, ye were seeking David, to be king over you.
अबनेरले इस्राएलका धर्म-गरुहरूसित यसो भनेर कुरा गरे, “विगतमा तपाईंहरूले दाऊदलाई आफ्ना राजा बनाउने प्रयास गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
18 Now, therefore, act, —for Yahweh, spake unto David, saying, By the hand of David my servant, will I save my people Israel, out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
अब यो काम गर्नुहोस् । किनकि परमप्रभुले दाऊदसित यसो भनेर बोल्नुभएको छ, 'म आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूका हात र तिनीहरूका सबै शत्रुका हातबाट मेरो दास दाऊदको हातद्वारा नै बचाउने छु' ।”
19 And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin, —and Abner also went to speak in the ears of David, in Hebron, all that was pleasing in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.
अबनेर आफैले पनि बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूसँग व्यक्तिगत रूपले कुरा गरे । त्यसपछि इस्राएल र बेन्यामीनका सम्पूर्ण घरानाले गर्न इच्छा गरेका सबै कुरा बताउन अबनेर दाऊदसँग कुरा गर्न हेब्रोनमा गए ।
20 So, when Abner came in unto David, in Hebron, and, with him, twenty men, David made, for Abner, and for the men who were with him, a banquet.
जब अबनेर र तिनका बिस जना मानिसहरू दाऊदलाई भेट्न हेब्रोनमा आइपुगे, तब दाऊदले तिनीहरूका निम्ति भोज तयार गरे ।
21 Then said Abner unto David—I will verily arise and go, and gather together unto my lord the king, all Israel—that they may solemnise with thee a covenant, so shalt thou reign over all that thy soul desireth. And David let Abner go, and he departed in peace.
अबनेरले दाऊदलाई सविस्तार बताए, “हे मेरो मालिक राजा, म उठेर सबै इस्राएललाई तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउने छु, ताकि तिनीहरूले तपाईंसँग करार बाँधुन् र सबैमाथि तपाईंले इच्छा गर्नुभएबमोजिम तपाईंले शासन गर्न सक्नुभएको होस् ।” यसैले दाऊदले अबनेरलाई पठाइदिए र अबनेर शान्तिसित विदा भए ।
22 And lo! the servants of David, and Joab, came in from a raid, and, great spoil, brought they in with them; but, Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had let him go, and he had departed in peace.
त्यसपछि दाऊदका सिपाहीहरू र योआब लुटपिट गरेर आए र आफ्नो साथमा धेरै लुटका मालहरू ल्याए । तर अबनेरचाहिं हेब्रोनमा दाऊदसँग थिएनन् । दाऊदले तिनलाई पठाइसकेका थिए र अबनेर शान्तिसँग विदा भएका थिए ।
23 When, Joab, and all the host that was with him, had come in, then told they Joab, saying, Abner son of Ner hath been in unto the king, and he hath let him go, and he hath departed in peace.
जब योआब र तिनीसँग भएका सबै फौज आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले योआबलाई भने, “नेरका छोरा अबनेर राजाकहाँ आए र राजाले तिनलाई शान्तिसँग पठाउनुभएको छ र अबनेर शान्तिसँग विदा भए ।”
24 Then Joab came in unto the king, and said—What hast thou done? Lo! Abner came in unto thee. Wherefore is it that thou didst let him go, so that he is clean departed?
तब योआब राजाकहाँ आए र भने, “तपाईंले य के गर्नुभएको छ? हेर्नुहोस्, अबनेर तपाईंकहाँ आए! तपाईंले तिनलाई किन पठाउनुभएको छ र तिनी गएका छन्?
25 Thou knowest Abner son of Ner, that, to deceive thee, he came, —and to take knowledge of thy going out, and thy coming in, and to take knowledge of all that thou art doing.
नेरका छोरा अबनेर तपाईंलाई छल्न गर्न र तपाईंका योजनाहरू र तपाईंले गरिरहेका हरेक कुरा पत्ता लगाउन आएका होइनन् र?”
26 And, when Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the well of Sirah, —but, David, knew it not.
जब योआब दाऊदकहाँबाट गए, तब तिनले अबनेरको पछि-पछि दूतहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सीराको इनारबाट फर्काए ल्याए, तर दाऊदलाई यो कुरा थाहा थिएन ।
27 So Abner returned to Hebron, and Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate, to speak with him quietly, —and then smote him there, in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel the brother of Joab.
जब अबनेर हेब्रोनमा फर्के, तिनीसित गोप्य रूपले कुरा गर्नलाई योआबले तिनलाई बिच ढोकाको एकातिर लिएर गए । त्यहाँ योआबले तिनलाई पेटमा घोचे र तिनलाई मारे । यसरी योआबले आफ्नो भाइ असाहेलको रगतको बदला लिए ।
28 And, when David heard of it, after that, he said—Guiltless, am I and my kingdom before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, —of the blood of Abner son of Ner.
जब दाऊदले यस कुराको बारेमा सुने, तब तिनले भने, “नेरका छोरा अबनेरको रगतको सम्बन्धमा म र मेरो राज्य सदासर्वदा परमप्रभुको सामु निर्दोष छौं ।
29 Let it be hurled upon the head of Joab, and against all his father’s house, —and let there not fail from the house of Joab—one that hath an issue, or a leper, or one that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
अबनेरको मृत्यको दोष योआब र तिनको बुबाको सारा घरानाको शिरमाथि नै परोस् । योआबको परिवारमा घाउ-खटिरा हुने वा छालाको रोग हुने वा लङ्गडो वा लट्ठीको साहाराले हिंड्ने वा खानाविना भौंतारिने मानिस कहिल्यै नटुटोस् ।”
30 Thus, Joab and Abishai his brother, slew Abner, —because he had caused the death of Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in the battle.
यसरी योआब र तिनका भाइ अबीशैले अबनेरलाई मारे, किनभने तिनले गिबोनको युद्धमा तिनीहरूका भाइ असाहेललाई मारेका थिए ।
31 And David said unto Joab, and unto all the people who were with him, —Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and lament aloud before Abner. And, King David himself, was following the bier.
दाऊदले योआब र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसलाई यसो भने, “आफ्नो लुगा च्यात, भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ र अबनेरको मृत शरीको सामु विलाप गर ।” दाऊद राजा मृत्यु संस्कारको लस्करमा लासको पछि-पछि हिंडे ।
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron, —and the king lifted up his voice and wept, at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
तिनीहरूले अबनेरलाई हेब्रोनमा गाडे । अबनेरको चिहानमा राजा ठुलो धुरु-धुरु रोए र सबै मानिसहरू पनि रोए ।
33 And the king addressed his dirge unto Abner, and said, —As a base man dieth, should Abner have died?
राजाले अबनेरको निम्ति विलाप गरे र गित गाए, “के अबनेरले मूर्खले झैं मर्नुपर्छ?
34 Thy hands, were not bound, And, thy feet, near to fetters, were not brought, As one falleth before assassins, so didst thou fall! And again all the people wept over him.
तिम्रा हातहरू बाँधिएका थिएनन् । तिम्रा खुट्टाहरू साङ्लाले बाँधिएका थिएनन् । एक जना मानिस अन्यायीको छोराको सामु ढलेझैं, तिमी पनि ढल्यौ ।” फेरि एक पल्ट सबै मानिस तिनको निम्ति रोए ।
35 And, when all the people came near to get David to eat bread, while yet it was day, David sware, saying—So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, before the sun go in, I taste bread, or anything else.
दिन छँदा नै दाऊदललाई खान मनाउन सबे मानिस आए तर दाऊदले शपथ खाए, “घाम नडुबेसम्म मैले रोटी वा कुनै कुरा चाखें भने परमेश्वरले मलाई यो वा योभन्दा बढ्ता गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
36 And, all the people, took note of it, and it was noble in their eyes, —as, all that the king did, was, in the eyes of all the people, noble.
सबै मानिसले दाऊदको विलापलाई ख्याल गरे र यसले तिनीहरूलाई प्रशन्न तुल्यायो । दाऊदले जे गरे त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।
37 So then all the people, and all Israel, took note, that day, that it was not of the king, to cause the death of Abner son of Ner.
त्यसैले नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई मार्ने इच्छा राजाको थिएन भन्ने सारा मानिस र सारा इस्राएलले बुझे ।
38 And the king said unto his servants, —Will ye not take note that, a prince and a great man, hath fallen this day, in Israel?
राजाले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “आजको दिन इस्राएलमा एक जना शासक र महान् मानिस मरेका छन् भनी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?
39 And, I myself, this day, am weak, though anointed king, but, these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are more severe than I: Yahweh repay, the doer of wickedness, according to his wickedness.
म अभिषिक्त राजा भएर पनि अहिले म कमजोर भएको छु । यी मानिसहरू, सरूयाहका छोराहरू मप्रति साह्रै निर्दयी भएका छन् । तिनको दुष्टता सुहाउँदो दण्ड परमप्रभुले तिनलाई दिनुभएको होस् ।”
