2 शमूएल 1
1 १ शाऊल के मरने के बाद, जब दाऊद अमालेकियों को मारकर लौटा, और दाऊद को सिकलग में रहते हुए दो दिन हो गए,
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 २ तब तीसरे दिन ऐसा हुआ कि शाऊल की छावनी में से एक पुरुष कपड़े फाड़े सिर पर धूल डाले हुए आया। जब वह दाऊद के पास पहुँचा, तब भूमि पर गिरा और दण्डवत् किया।
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 ३ दाऊद ने उससे पूछा, “तू कहाँ से आया है?” उसने उससे कहा, “मैं इस्राएली छावनी में से बचकर आया हूँ।”
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 ४ दाऊद ने उससे पूछा, “वहाँ क्या बात हुई? मुझे बता।” उसने कहा, “यह, कि लोग रणभूमि छोड़कर भाग गए, और बहुत लोग मारे गए; और शाऊल और उसका पुत्र योनातान भी मारे गए हैं।”
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 ५ दाऊद ने उस समाचार देनेवाले जवान से पूछा, “तू कैसे जानता है कि शाऊल और उसका पुत्र योनातान मर गए?”
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 ६ समाचार देनेवाले जवान ने कहा, “संयोग से मैं गिलबो पहाड़ पर था; तो क्या देखा, कि शाऊल अपने भाले की टेक लगाए हुए है; फिर मैंने यह भी देखा कि उसका पीछा किए हुए रथ और सवार बड़े वेग से दौड़े आ रहे हैं।
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 ९ उसने मुझसे कहा, ‘मेरे पास खड़ा होकर मुझे मार डाल; क्योंकि मेरा सिर तो घूमा जाता है, परन्तु प्राण नहीं निकलता।’
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 १० तब मैंने यह निश्चय जान लिया, कि वह गिर जाने के पश्चात् नहीं बच सकता, मैंने उसके पास खड़े होकर उसे मार डाला; और मैं उसके सिर का मुकुट और उसके हाथ का कंगन लेकर यहाँ अपने स्वामी के पास आया हूँ।”
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 १२ और वे शाऊल, और उसके पुत्र योनातान, और यहोवा की प्रजा, और इस्राएल के घराने के लिये छाती पीटने और रोने लगे, और साँझ तक कुछ न खाया, इस कारण कि वे तलवार से मारे गए थे।
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 १३ फिर दाऊद ने उस समाचार देनेवाले जवान से पूछा, “तू कहाँ का है?” उसने कहा, “मैं तो परदेशी का बेटा अर्थात् अमालेकी हूँ।”
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 १५ तब दाऊद ने एक जवान को बुलाकर कहा, “निकट जाकर उस पर प्रहार कर।” तब उसने उसे ऐसा मारा कि वह मर गया।
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 १६ और दाऊद ने उससे कहा, “तेरा खून तेरे ही सिर पर पड़े; क्योंकि तूने यह कहकर कि मैं ही ने यहोवा के अभिषिक्त को मार डाला, अपने मुँह से अपने ही विरुद्ध साक्षी दी है।”
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 २० गत में यह न बताओ, और न अश्कलोन की सड़कों में प्रचार करना; न हो कि पलिश्ती स्त्रियाँ आनन्दित हों, न हो कि खतनारहित लोगों की बेटियाँ गर्व करने लगें।
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 २१ “हे गिलबो पहाड़ों, तुम पर न ओस पड़े, और न वर्षा हो, और न भेंट के योग्य उपजवाले खेत पाए जाएँ! क्योंकि वहाँ शूरवीरों की ढालें अशुद्ध हो गईं। और शाऊल की ढाल बिना तेल लगाए रह गई।
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 २२ “जूझे हुओं के लहू बहाने से, और शूरवीरों की चर्बी खाने से, योनातान का धनुष न लौटता था, और न शाऊल की तलवार छूछी फिर आती थी।
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 २३ “शाऊल और योनातान जीवनकाल में तो प्रिय और मनभाऊ थे, और अपनी मृत्यु के समय अलग न हुए; वे उकाब से भी वेग से चलनेवाले, और सिंह से भी अधिक पराक्रमी थे।
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 २४ “हे इस्राएली स्त्रियों, शाऊल के लिये रोओ, वह तो तुम्हें लाल रंग के वस्त्र पहनाकर सुख देता, और तुम्हारे वस्त्रों के ऊपर सोने के गहने पहनाता था।
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 २६ हे मेरे भाई योनातान, मैं तेरे कारण दुःखित हूँ; तू मुझे बहुत मनभाऊ जान पड़ता था; तेरा प्रेम मुझ पर अद्भुत, वरन् स्त्रियों के प्रेम से भी बढ़कर था।
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
