< 1 Samuel 14 >

1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, that [is] on the other side. But he told not his father.
एक दिन शाऊलका जोनाथनले आफ्‍नो हतियार बोक्‍ने जवानलाई भने, “आऊ, हामी पल्लोपट्टि भएको पलिश्‍तीहरूको चौकीमा जाऔं ।” तर तिनले आफ्नो बुबालाई चाहिं भनेनन् ।
2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron: and the people that [were] with him [were] about six hundred men;
शऊलचाहिं मोग्रोनमा भएको अनारको बोटमुनि गिबाको छेउमा बसिरहेको थियो । तिनीसँग झण्डै छ सय मानिस थिए,
3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
एपोद लगाउने शीलोमा परमप्रभुको पुजारी एलीका पनाति, पीनहासका नाति, अहीतूबका छोरा (ईकाबोदका भाइ) अहियाहसहित । जोनाथान गएको थिए भन्‍ने कुरा मानिसहरूलाई थाहा थिएन ।
4 And between the passages by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, [there was] a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
पलिश्‍तीहरूको चौकीमा पुग्‍नलाई जोनाथनले जान चाहेका घाटीको एकापट्टि एउटा पत्थरको पहरो थियो भने, अर्कोपट्टि अर्को पत्थरको पहरो थियो । एउटा पत्थरको पहरोलाई बोसेस र अर्को पत्थरको पहरोलाई सेनेह भनिन्‍थ्‍यो ।
5 The front of the one [was] situated northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
पत्थरको एउटा पहरो उत्तरमा मिकमाशको सामुन्‍ने र अर्को दक्षिणमा गेबाको सामुन्‍ने थियो ।
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for [there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
जोनाथनले आफ्नो हतियार बोक्‍ने जवानलाई भने, “आऊ, यी बेखतनाहरूका चौकीमा पारि जाऔं । सायद परमप्रभुले हाम्रो पक्षमा काम गर्न सक्‍नुहुनेछ, किनकि धेरै वा थोरै जनाबाट बचाउन परमप्रभुलाई कुनै कुराले रोक्‍न सक्दैन ।”
7 And his armor-bearer said to him, Do all that [is] in thy heart: turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart.
तिनका हतियार बोक्‍नेले जवाफ दिए, “आफ्‍नो मनमा जे लागेको छ सो गर्नुहोस् । अगि बढ्नुहोस्, हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न म तपाईंको साथमा छु ।”
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to [these] men, and we will discover ourselves to them.
तब जोनाथनले भने, “हामी ती मानिसकहाँ पारि जानेछौं र हामी आफै तिनीहरकहाँ देखा पर्नेछौं ।
9 If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
तिनीहरूले भन्‍छन्, ‘तिमीहरूकहाँ हामी नआएसम्म त्यहीं पर्ख,' भने— हामी आफ्नै ठाउँमा बस्‍नेछौं र हामी तिनीहरूकहाँ पारि जानेछैनौं ।
10 But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand; and this [shall be] a sign to us.
तर तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिन्‍छन्, 'हामीकहाँ वारि आओ' भने, हामी पारि तर्नेछौं । किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई हाम्रो हातमा दिनुभएको छ । यो हाम्रो निम्ति चिन्ह हुनेछ ।”
11 And both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
त्यसैले तिनीहरू दुवैले आफूलाई पलिश्‍तीहरूको चौकीमा प्रकट गरे । पलिश्‍तीहरूले भने, “हेर, हिब्रूहरू आफू लुकेका प्वालहरूबाट निस्किरहेका छन् ।”
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
तब चौकीका मानिसहरूले जोनाथन र तिनको हतियार बोक्‍नेलाई बोलाए र भने, “हामीकहाँ आओ र तिमीहरूलाई हामी केही कुरा देखाउनेछौं ।” जोनाथनले आफ्नो हतियार बोक्‍नेलाई भने, “मेरो पछि आऊ, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलको हातमा दिनुभएको छ ।”
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor-bearer slew after him.
जोनाथन आफ्‍ना हात र खुट्टा टेकेर चढे र तिनको हतियार बोक्‍नेले तिनको पछि गए । जोनाथनको सामु पलिश्‍तीहरू मारिए र तिनको पछाडी तिनको हतियार बोक्‍नेले कति जनालाई मारे ।
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were a half-acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow].
जोनाथन र तिनको हतियार बोक्‍नेले गरेको पहिलो आक्रमणमा चार रोपनी जतिको क्षेत्रमा झण्डै बिस जना मानिस मारिए ।
15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
छाउनी, मैदान र मानिसहरू माझ त्रास फैलियो । चौकीहरू र लुट्ने टोलीहरू पनि त्रासित भए । पृथ्वी हल्लियो र त्यहाँ ठुलो त्रास छायो ।
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another].
त्यसपछि बेन्यामीनको गिबामा रहेको शाऊलका पहरा बस्‍नेले देख्यो । पलिश्‍ती सिपाहीहरूका भीड तितरबितर भइरहेको थियो र तिनीहरू यताउता गरिरहेका थिए ।
17 Then said Saul to the people that [were] with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer [were] not [there].
तब शाऊलले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “हाम्रो बिचबाट को हराएको छ, गनेर हेर ।” जब तिनीहरूले गन्ती गरे, जोनाथन र तिनको हतियार बोक्‍ने हराएको थाहा भयो ।
18 And Saul said to Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
शाऊलले अहियाहलाई भने, “परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुक यहाँ ल्याऊ,” किनकि त्यस बेला यो इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसँग थियो ।
19 And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went on, and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
शाऊल पुजारीसँग बोलिरहँदा पलिश्‍तीहरूको छाउनीको हल्ला झन् बढ्दै थियो । तब शाऊलले पुजारीलाई भने, “तिम्रो हात झिक ।”
20 And Saul and all the people that [were] with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture.
शाऊल र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसहरू भेला भए र लडाइँ गर्न गए । हरेक पलिश्‍तीले आ-आफ्नो साथीलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरिरहेको थियो र त्यहाँ ठुलो अन्योलता थियो ।
21 Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp [from the country] around, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan.
अब पहिले पलिश्‍तीहरूसँग रहेका ती हिब्रूहरू जो तिनीहरूका छाउनीमा गएका थिए, तिनीहरू पनि इस्राएलीहरू, शाऊल र जोनाथनकहाँ आए ।
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
जब एफ्राइम नजिकको पहाडतिर लुकेका इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले पलिश्‍तीहरू भागिरहेका छन् भनी सुने, तब तिनीहरूले पनि उनीहरूलाई युद्धमा खेदे ।
23 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over to Beth-aven.
यसरी परमप्रभुले त्यस दिन इस्राएललाई छुटकाटा दिनुभयो र युद्ध बेथ-अवन पारिसम्म नै फैलियो ।
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food.
त्यस दिन इस्राएलका मानिसहरू व्याकुल भएका थिए किनभने, “साँझसम्म र मैले आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूमाथि बद्‍ला नलिएसम्म खाना खाने कुनै पनि मानिस श्रापित होस्” भनेर शाऊलले मानिसहरूलाई शपथ खान लगाएका थिए । त्यसैले फौजका कुनै पनि व्‍यक्‍तिले खाना चाखेका थिएनन् ।
25 And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
त्यसपछि सबै मानिसहरू जङ्गभित्र पसे र त्यहाँ जमिनमा मह थियो ।
26 And when the people had come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
जब मानिसहरू जङ्गलभित्र पसे, तब मह बग्‍न थाल्यो, तर कसैले पनि महमा हात लगाएन, किनभने मानिसहरू शपथदेखि डराएका थिए ।
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in a honey-comb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
तर जोनाथनले आफ्‍ना बुबाले मानिसहरूलाई शपथ खान लगाएको कुरा सुनेका थिएनन् । तिनले आफ्नो हातमा भएको लट्ठी पसारे र यसले महको चाकामा घोचे । तिनले आफ्नो हात आफ्‍नो मुखमा लगे र तिनका आँखामा तेज आयो ।
28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food this day. And the people were faint.
तब मानिसहरूमध्ये एक जनाले भने, “तपाईंको बुबाले 'आजको दिन खाना खाने मानिस श्रापित होस्' भनी मानिसहरूलाई कडा शपथ खान लगाउनुभयो, यद्यपि मानिसहरू भोकले कमजोर भएका छन् ।
29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
तब जोनाथनल भने, “मेरो बुबाले देशलाई कष्‍ट दिनुभएको छ । हेर, मैले यो थोरै मह चाखेर मेरा आँखाहरू कति तेजिला भएका छन् ।
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
मानिसहरूले आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूको लूटबाट स्‍वतन्त्र भएर खाएका भए कति धेरै राम्रो हुन्थ्यो? किनभने अहिले पालिश्‍तीहरूका माझमा ठुलो संहार भएको छैन ।”
31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon: and the people were very faint.
तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन पलिश्‍तीहरूलाई मिकमाशदेखि अय्यालोनसम्म आक्रमण गरे । मानिसहरू धेरै थकित भए ।
32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people ate [them] with the blood.
मानिसहरू लूटहरूमा लोभ गरेर झुम्मिए, अनि भेडाहरू, गोरुहरू र पाठाहरू लिए र तिनलाई जमिनमा मारे । मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई रगतसँगै खाए ।
33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day.
तब तिनीहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मानिसहरूले रगतसँगै खाएर परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरिरहेका छन् ।” शाऊलले भने, “तिमीहरूले अविश्‍वसी कसिमले काम गरेका छौ । अब यहाँ मकहाँ एउटा ठुलो ढुङ्गा ल्‍याओ ।”
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them] there.
शाऊलले भने, “मानिसहरूको बिचमा जाओ र तिनीहरूलाई भन, 'हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्नो गोरु र भेडहरू यहाँ ल्याओस् र मारोस् र खाओस् । रगतसँगै खाएर परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप नगर' ।” त्यसैले हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्ना गोरु आफूसँग ल्याए र यसलाई त्यहाँ मारे ।
35 And Saul built an altar to the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built to the LORD:
शाऊलले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी वनाए, जुन तिनले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका पहिको वेदी थियो ।
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seemeth good to thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither to God.
तब शाऊलले भने, “पलिश्‍तीहरूलाई राती गएर पिछा गरौं र बिहानसम्ममा तिनीहरूलाई लूटौं । तिनीहरूलाई एउटै पनि जीवित नछोडौं ।” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर्नुहोस् ।” तर पुजारी भने, “यहाँ परमेश्‍वरकहाँ जाऔं ।”
37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
शाऊलले परमेश्‍वरलाई सोधे, “के म पलिश्‍तीहरूको पिछा गरौं? के तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलको हातमा सुम्पनुहुने छ?” तर परमेश्‍वरले त्यस दिन तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
तब शाऊलले भने, “मानिसहरूका सबै अगुवाहरू यहाँ आओ । आज यो पाप कसरी गरियो सिक र हेर ।
39 For [as] the LORD liveth, who saveth Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answered him.
किनकि जसरी इस्राएललाई छुटकारा दिनुहुने परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, यो मेरो छोरा जोनाथन नै भए पनि निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछ ।” तर सबै मानिसमध्येका कुनैले पनि तिनलाई जवाफ दिएन ।
40 Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seemeth good to thee.
तब तिनले सबै इस्राएललाई भने, “तिमीहरू एकपट्टि खडा हुनुपर्छ, अनि म र मेरो छोरा जोनाथन अर्कोपट्टि खडा हुनेछौं ।” मानिसहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर्नुहोस् ।”
41 Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
शाऊलले भने, “हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर, यो पाप म वा मेरो छोरा जोनाथनले गरेको हो भने, हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर मलाई ऊरीम दिनुहोस् । तर यो पाप तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलले गरेका हुन् भने तुम्मीम दिनुहोस् ।” अनि चिट्ठाले जोनाथन र शाऊललाई पार्‍यो, तर फौजलाई अलग गर्‍यौ ।
42 And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
त्यसपछि शाउलले भने, “म र मेरो छोरा जोनाथनको बिचमा चिट्ठा हाल ।” अनि चिट्टाले जोनाथनलाई छान्यो ।
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that [was] in my hand, [and], lo, I must die.
शाऊलले जोनाथनलाई भने, “तिमीले के गरेका छौ मलाई भन ।” जोनाथनले तिनले भने, “मैले मेरो हातमा भएको लट्ठीको टुप्पोले थोरै मह चाखें । म यहाँ छु । म मर्नेछु ।”
44 And Saul answered, God do so, and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
शाऊलले भने, “ए जोनाथन, तिमी मरेनौ भने, परमेश्‍वरले मलाई त्‍यसै वा त्‍योभन्दा बढी गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
45 And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? By no means: [as] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
तब मानिसहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “इस्राएलको निम्ति यत्रो विजय ल्याउने जोनाथन मर्नुपर्छ? यस्‍तो हुँदै नहोस्! परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं, तिनको शिरबाट एउटा कपाल पनि झर्नेछैन, किनकि आज तिनले परमेश्‍वरसँग काम गरेका छन् ।” यसरी मानिसहरूले जोनाथनको उद्धार गरे ताकि तिनी मरेनन् ।
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
त्‍यसपछि शाऊलले पलिश्तीहरूको पिछा गर्न छोडे र पलिश्तीहरू आ-आफ्ना घरमा गए ।
47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he harassed [them].
जब शाऊलले इस्राएलमाथि राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गरे, तब तिनले सबैतिरका आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे । तिनले मोआब, अम्मोनीहरू, एदोम, सोबका राजाहरू र पलिश्तीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे । तिनी जता फर्किए, त्‍यतै तिनले उनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिए ।
48 And he gathered a host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of them that spoiled them.
तिनले ठुलो साहसले काम गरे र अमालेकीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । तिनले इस्राएललाई लुट्नेहरूको हातबाट छुटकारा दिए ।
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters [were these]; the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
शाऊलका छोराहरू जोनाथन, यिश्‍वी र मल्कीशूअ थिए । तिनकी जेठी छोरीहरूको नाउँ मेराब र कान्छीको नाउँ मिकल थियो ।
50 And the name of Saul's [wife] was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host [was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
शाऊलको पत्‍नीको नाउँ अहिनोम थियो । तिनी अहीमासकी छोरी थिइन् । तिनको फौजको कप्‍तानको नाउँ शाऊलका काका नेरका छोरा अबनेर थियो ।
51 And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner [was] the son of Abiel.
कीश शाउलका बुबा थिए । अनि अबनेरका बुबा नेर अबीएलका छोरा थिए ।
52 And there was violent war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.
शाऊलको जीवनकालभरि नै पलिश्तीहरूसँग कडा युद्ध चलिरह्यो । जब शाऊलले कुनै वीर वा बलियो मानिसलाई देख्थे, तब तिनले उसलाई आफूसँगै राख्थे ।
