2 Samuel 12
1 The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले नातानलाई दाऊदकहाँ पठाउनुभयो । उनी तिनीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “कुनै सहरमा दुई जना मानिस बस्थे । एक जना धनी थिए र अर्कोचाहिं गरीब थिए ।
2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
धनी मानिसको ठुलो संख्यामा भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु थिए,
3 but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
तर त्यो गरीब मानिससित भेडको एउटा पाठीबाहेक केही पनि थिएन, जसलाई त्यसले किनेर ल्याएको, र खुवाएर हुर्काएको थियो । त्यो उसँग र उसका छोराछोरीसँगै हुर्क्यो । यो पाठीले उसँगै खान्थ्यो, उसैको कचौराबाट पिउँथ्यो, र उसकै काखमा सुत्थ्यो र उसको छोरीजस्तै थियो ।
4 A traveller came to the rich man, and he didn’t want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
एक दिन त्यो धनी मानिसको घरमा एक जना पाहुना आए, तर तिनलाई खाना दिन त्यो धनी मानिसले आफ्नो भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु एउटा पशु लिन पनि इच्छुक भएन । बरु, त्यसले त्यो गरीब मानिसको भेडाको पाठी लियो र त्यो आफ्नो पाहुनाको निम्ति पकाइदियो ।”
5 David’s anger burnt hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
दाऊद त्यो धनी मानिसप्रति रिसले आगो भए र नातानसँग जङ्गिए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसले यसो गर्यो त्यो मारिन योग्य छ ।
6 He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity!”
त्यो पाठीको चार गुणा त्यसले फिर्ता गर्नुपर्छ किनभने त्यसले यस्तो दुष्ट कुरा गरेको छ र त्यसले गरीब मानिसमाथ कुनै दया देखाएन ।”
7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
त्यसपछि नातानले दाऊदलाई भने, “त्यो मानिस तपाईं नै हो! परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले तँलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरें र मैले तँलाई शाऊलको हातबाट बचाएँ ।
8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
मैले तँलाई तेरो मालिकको घराना र तेरो मालिकका पत्नीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा दिएँ । मैले तँलाई इस्राएल र यहूदाको घराना पनि दिएँ । तर त्यसले नपुगेको भए, मैले तँलाई यसको अतिरिक्त अरू धेरै कुरा दिने थिएँ ।
9 Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
त्यसैले तैंले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ त्यही गरेर उहाँको आज्ञालाई किन तुच्छ ठानिस्? तैंले हित्ती उरियाहलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरिस् र त्यसको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नै पत्नी हुनलाई लगेको छस् । तैंले अम्मोनको फौजको तरवारले त्यसलाई मारिस् ।
10 Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’
त्यसैले अब तरवारले तेरो घरानालाई कहिल्यै छोड्ने छैन, किनभने तैंले मलाई घृणा गरेको छस् र हित्ती उरियाहको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नो पत्नीको रूपमा लिएको छस् ।'
11 “This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbour, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म तेरो आफ्नै घरानाबाट विपद् ल्याउने छु । तेरै आफ्नै आँखाको सामु तेरा पत्नीहरूलाई म लिने छु र ती तेरो छिमेकीलाई दिने छु, र दिनको उज्यालोमा त्यो तेरा पत्नीहरूसित सुत्ने छ ।
12 For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
किनकि तैंले आफ्नो पाप गोप्य रूपमा गरिस्, तर म यो सारा इस्राएलको सामु घामको उज्यालोमा गर्ने छु’ ।”
13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
तब दाऊदले नातानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु ।” नातानले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंको पापलाई हटाइदिनुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई मारिने छैन ।
14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”
तापनि, यो कामद्वारा तपाईंले परमप्रभुलाई तुच्छ तुल्याउनुभएको हुनाले, तपाईंबाट जन्मने बालकचाहिं निश्चय नै मार्ने छ ।”
15 Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
त्यसपछि नातान विदा भए र घर गए । उरियाहको पत्नीले दाऊदबाट जन्माएको बालकलाई परमप्रभुले प्रहार गर्नुभयो र त्यो गम्भीर बिरामी भयो ।
16 David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
दाऊदले त्यो केटाको निम्ति परमप्रभुसँग बिन्ती गरे । दाऊद उपवास बसे र भित्र गए र रातभरि भुईंमा पल्टिरहे ।
17 The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.
तिनका घरानाका ठुलाहरू उठे र तिनलाई भुईंबाट उठाउन तिनको छेउमा खडा भए, तर तिनी उठेनन् र तिनले तिनीहरूसँग केही पनि खाएनन् ।
18 On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
सातौं दिनमा त्यो बालक मर्यो । त्यो बालक मर्यो भनेर दाऊदका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भन्न डराए, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, त्यो बालक जीवितै हुँदा हामीले उहँसित बोल्यौं र उहाँले हाम्रा कुरा सुन्नुभएन । हामीले त्यो बालक मर्यो भन्यौं भने, उहाँले आफूलाई के गर्नुहोला?”
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.”
तर जब दाऊदले आफ्ना सेवकहरूले आपसमा कानेखुसी गरिरहेको देखे, तब बालक मरेछ भनी दाऊदले थाहा पाए । तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “के त्यो बालक मर्यो?” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “त्यो मर्यो ।”
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshipped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
तब दाऊद भुईंबाट उठे र आफू नुहाए, आफूलाई तेल घसे र आफ्ना लुगा फेरे । तिनी परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानमा गए र त्यहाँ आराधना गरे र त्यसपछि आफ्नो दरबारमा फर्केर आए । तिनले खाने कुराहरू मागेपछि, तिनीहरूले खाने कुरा दिए र तिनले खाए ।
21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
तब तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंले किन यसो गर्नुभएको छ? त्यो बालक जिउँदो हुँदा तपाईं उपवास बस्नुभयो र रुनुभयो, तर जब बालक मर्यो, तब तपाईं उठ्नुभयो र खानुभयो ।”
22 He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?’
दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “बालक जीवित हुँदा म उपवास बसें र रोएँ । मैले भनें, 'कसले जान्दछ कतै परमप्रभु अनुग्रही हुनुहुने छ ताकि बालक बाँच्न सकोस्?'
23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
तर अब त्यो मर्यो, त्यसैले म किन उपवास बस्ने? के म त्यसलाई फेरि फर्काएर ल्याउन सक्छु र? म त्यसकहाँ जाने छु, तर त्यो मकहाँ फर्केर आउने छैन ।”
24 David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. The LORD loved him;
दाऊदले आफ्नी पत्नी बतशेबालाई सान्त्वना दिए र उनकहाँ गए र उनीसँग सुते । पछि उनले एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् र त्यो बालककको नाउँ सोलोमन राखियो । परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो
25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD’s sake.
र तिनको नाउँ यददीयाह राख्नू भनी उहाँले नातान अगमवक्ताद्वारा सन्देश पठाउनुभयो, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो ।
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
यति बेला योआबले अम्मोनीहरूको रब्बाको विरुद्ध युद्ध गरे र तिनले राजकीय सहर कब्जा गरे ।
27 Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
त्यसैले योआबले दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए र भने, “मैले रब्बाको विरुद्धमा युद्ध लडेको छु र मैले सहरको पानीको आपुर्तीलाई कब्जा गरेको छु ।
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
यसकारण बाँकी फौजलाई भेला गर्नुहोस् र यो सहर विरुद्ध छआउनी हाल्नुहोस् र यसलाई कब्जा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि मैले त्यो सहर लिएँ भने, त्यसलाई मेरो नाउँ दिइने छ ।
29 David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
त्यसैले दाऊदले सबै फौजलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे र रब्बातिर गए । तिनले त्यो सहरको विरुद्ध युद्ध लडे र त्यो कब्जा गरे ।
30 He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
दाऊदले तिनीहरूका राजाको शिरबाट शिरपेच लिए, यसको तौल एक तोडा सुन थियो, र त्यसमा बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू थिए । त्यो शिरपेच दाऊदको आफ्नै शिरमा लगाइयो । त्यसपछि तिनले त्यस सहरको लुटका मालहरू ठुलो मात्रामा लिएर आए ।
31 He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
तिनले त्यस सहरमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई लिएर आए, र तिनीहरूलाई आराहरू, फलामको हतियारको र बन्चरोको कामहरू गर्न बाध्य पारे । तिनले उनीहरूलाई इँटको भट्टाहरूमा काम गर्न लगाए । दाऊदले अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका सबै सहरलाई यो श्रमको काम गर्न लगाए । तब दाऊद र सबै फौज यरूशलेम फर्के ।
