< 1 Chronicles 19 >
1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
त्यसको केही समयपछि अम्मोनीहरूका राजा नाहाशको मृत्यु भयो, र तिनको सट्टामा तिनका छोरा राजा भए ।
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
दाऊदले भने, “म नाहाशका छोरा हानूनलाई दया देखाउनेछु, किनकि तिनका पिताले मलाई दया देखाए ।” यसैले तिनका पिताको बारेमा सहानुभूति प्रकट गर्न दाऊदले दूतहरू पठाए । दाऊदका दूतहरू हानूनलाई सहानुभूति प्रकट गर्न अम्मोनीहरूको देशमा पसे ।
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
तर अम्मोनी राजकुमारहरूले हानूनलाई भने, “दाऊदले तपाईंलाई सहानुभूति प्रकट गर्न मानिसहरू पठाउँदा तिनले तपाईंका पितालाई आदर गरेका हुन् भनी के तपाईं सम्झनुहुन्छ? तपाईंको देशलाई पराजित गर्नको निम्ति जाँच गर्नलाई तिनका सेवकहरू आएका होइनन् र?”
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
यसकारण हानूनले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई समाते, तिनीहरूका कपाल खौरिदिए, र काँधदेखि कम्मरसम्म तिनीहरूका आधा लुगा काटेर तिनीहरूलाई पठाइदिए ।
5 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
जब तिनीहरूले यो कुरा दाऊदलाई वर्णन गरिदिए, तिनले तिनीहरूसित भेट गर्न पठाए, किनकि तिनीहरूको साह्रै लाजमा पारिएका थिए । राजाले भने, “तिमीहरूका दाह्री फेरि नबढुञ्जेल यरीहोमा नै बस र त्यसपछि फर्क ।”
6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
जब अम्मोनीहरूले आफूहरूला दाऊदको दृष्टिमा दुर्घन्दित भएको देखे, तब हानून र अम्मोनीहरूले अराम-नाहारैम, अराम-माका र सोबाबाट रथहरू र सारथिहरू ज्यालामा ल्याउन एक हजार तोडा चाँदी पठाए ।
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
उनीहरूले बत्तीस हजार रथ र सारथिहरू, अनि माकाका राजा र उनका मानिसहरूलाई ज्यालामा लिए, र उनीहरू आएर मेदबाको सामुन्ने छाउनी बनाए । त्यसपछि अम्मोनीहरूचाहिं आ-आफ्ना सहरहरूबाट भेला भएर लडाइँ गर्न आए ।
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
जब दाऊदले यो कुरा सुने, तिनले योआब र जम्मै सेनालाई तिनीहरूसँग भेट गर्न पठाए ।
9 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
अम्मोनका मानिसहरू आए र सहरको मूल ढोकामा लडाइँको निम्ति पङ्क्तिवद्ध भए । सहायताका निम्ति आएका राजाहरू भने खुला मैदानमा थिए ।
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
जब योआबले आफूलाई अगि र पछि दुवैतिर लडाइँले घेरेको थाहा पाए, तब तिनले केही असल इस्राएली फौजलाई लिए र अरामीहरूको विरुद्ध तयार पारे ।
11 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
तिनका अरू बाँकी फौजलाई तिनले आफ्ना भाइ अबीशैको कमाण्डमा दिए, र उनीहरूलाई तिनले अम्मोनीहरूको विरुद्ध यद्धमा खडा गरे ।
12 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
योआबले भने, “अरामीहरू मेरो निम्ति साह्रै शक्तिशाली भए भने अबीशै तिमीले मेरो उद्धार गर्नुपर्छ । अम्मोनीहरू तिम्रो निम्ति साह्रै शक्तिशाली भए भने म आएर तिम्रो उद्धार गर्नेछु ।
13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”
साहसिलो होऊ! हामी आफ्ना मानिस र हाम्रा परमेश्वरका सहरहरूका निम्ति साहसिलो होऔं, किनकि परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल छ उहाँले त्यही गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
14 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
यसैले योआब र तिनका सेनाका फौज अरामीहरूका विरुद्ध अगाडि बढे । तिनीहरू इस्राएलको सेनाको सामुबाट भाग्न बाध्य पारिए ।
15 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
जब अम्मोनका सेनाले अरामीहरूलाई भागेका देखे, तब उनीहरू पनि तिनका भाइ अबीशैको सामुबाट भागे र सहरभित्र फर्के । यसकारण योआब अम्मोनका मानिसहरूबाट फर्के र यरूशलेममा फिर्ता गए ।
16 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
जब अरामीहरूले आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएका देखे, तब तिनीहरूले यूफ्रेटिस नदीको पारिबाट हददेजेरका कमाण्डर शोपकको कमाण्डमा भएका अरू अरामी सेनालाई बोलाए ।
17 David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
जब दाऊदलाई यसको बारेमा बताइयो, तिनले जम्मै इस्राएललाई जम्मा गरे, यर्दन नदी पार गरे र उनीहरूकहाँ गए । तिनले आरामीहरूको विरुद्ध लडाइँ गर्न सेनाको तयारी गरे र तिनीहरूले तिनीसँग युद्ध गरे ।
18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
आरामीहरू इस्राएलदेखि भागे, र दाऊदले अरामीहरूका सात हजार सारथिहरू र चालीस हजार पैदल सिपाहीहरू मारे । तिनले सेनाका कमाण्डर शोपकलाई पनि मारे ।
19 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
हददेजेरका अधीनमा भएका राजाहरूले जब आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएका देखे, तब तिनीहरूले दाऊदसँग सन्धि गरे र तिनको सेवा गरे । यसैले अरामका मानिसहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै अम्मोनीहरूलाई सहायता दिनलाई राजी भएनन् ।
