2 Samuel 20
1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, 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 So every man of Israel, withdrawing from David, followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah adhered to their king, from Jordan even to 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 came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in 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 to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
त्यसपछि राजाले अमासालाई भने, “तीन दिनभित्र यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गर । तिमी पनि यहाँ हुनुपर्छ ।”
5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
त्यसैले अमासा यहूदालाई बोलाउन गए तर तिनलाई राजाले तोकेको समयभन्दा तिनी ढिला भए ।
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue him, lest he get for himself fortified cities, and escape us.
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 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the 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] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded to him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out.
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 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
त्यसैले योआबले अमासालाई भने, “हे मेरो भाइ, तिमीलाई ठिकै छ?” योआबले अमासालाई चुम्बन गर्न दाह्रीमा समाते ।
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's hand: so he smote him in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the 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 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after 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 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by 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 was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
अमासालाई बाटोदेखि बाहिर लगेपछि बिक्रीको छोरो शेबालाई खेद्न सबै मानिसले योआबलाई पछ्याए ।
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were assembled, and went also after 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 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that [were] with Joab battered 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, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
त्यसपछि एक जना बुद्धिमान स्त्रीले सहरबाट कराएर भनिन्, “ए योआब, सुन्नुहोस्, कृपया सुन्नुहोस्! मेरो नजिक आउनुहोस् र म तपाईंसँग कुरा गर्न सक्छु ।”
17 And when he was come near to her, the woman said, [Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he]. Then she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, 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 she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They will surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended [the matter].
तब उनले भनिन्, “प्राचीन समयमा तिनीहरू भन्ने गर्थे, 'निश्चय हबिलमा सल्लाह लिन जाऊ,' र त्यो सल्लाहले कुरा मिल्थ्यो ।
19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
इस्राएलको सबभन्दा शान्तिपूर्ण र विश्वासयोग्य हाम्रै सहर हो । तपाईंले इस्राएलको आमा सहरलाई नाश गर्न खोज्दै हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले परमप्रभुको उत्तराधिकारलाई किन निल्न चाहनुहुन्छ?
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
त्यसैले योआबले जवाफ दिए र भने, “मैले सहर निल्ने वा नाश गर्ने कुरा मबाट दूर रहोस् ।
21 The matter [is] not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, [even] against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over 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 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast [it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to 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 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the 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 Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder:
अदोनीरामचाहिं ज्यालाबिना काम गर्नेहरूका अधिकृत थिए र अहीलूदका छोरा यहोशापात लेखापाल थिए ।
25 And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
शेभा शास्त्री र सादोक तथा अबियाथार पुजारीहरू थिए ।
26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
याईरी ईरा दाऊदका मुख्य सेवक थिए ।
