2 शमूएल 5
1 १ तब इस्राएल के सब गोत्र दाऊद के पास हेब्रोन में आकर कहने लगे, “सुन, हम लोग और तू एक ही हाड़ माँस हैं।
Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
2 २ फिर भूतकाल में जब शाऊल हमारा राजा था, तब भी इस्राएल का अगुआ तू ही था; और यहोवा ने तुझ से कहा, ‘मेरी प्रजा इस्राएल का चरवाहा, और इस्राएल का प्रधान तू ही होगा।’”
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 ३ अतः सब इस्राएली पुरनिये हेब्रोन में राजा के पास आए; और दाऊद राजा ने उनके साथ हेब्रोन में यहोवा के सामने वाचा बाँधी, और उन्होंने इस्राएल का राजा होने के लिये दाऊद का अभिषेक किया।
So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
5 ५ साढ़े सात वर्ष तक तो उसने हेब्रोन में यहूदा पर राज्य किया, और तैंतीस वर्ष तक यरूशलेम में समस्त इस्राएल और यहूदा पर राज्य किया।
In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
6 ६ तब राजा ने अपने जनों को साथ लिए हुए यरूशलेम को जाकर यबूसियों पर चढ़ाई की, जो उस देश के निवासी थे। उन्होंने यह समझकर, कि दाऊद यहाँ घुस न सकेगा, उससे कहा, “जब तक तू अंधों और लँगड़ों को दूर न करे, तब तक यहाँ घुस न पाएगा।”
[One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
8 ८ उस दिन दाऊद ने कहा, “जो कोई यबूसियों को मारना चाहे, उसे चाहिये कि नाले से होकर चढ़े, और अंधे और लँगड़े जिनसे दाऊद मन से घिन करता है उन्हें मारे।” इससे यह कहावत चली, “अंधे और लँगड़े महल में आने न पाएँगे।”
On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
9 ९ और दाऊद उस गढ़ में रहने लगा, और उसका नाम दाऊदपुर रखा। और दाऊद ने चारों ओर मिल्लो से लेकर भीतर की ओर शहरपनाह बनवाई।
[After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
11 ११ तब सोर के राजा हीराम ने दाऊद के पास दूत, और देवदार की लकड़ी, और बढ़ई, और राजमिस्त्री भेजे, और उन्होंने दाऊद के लिये एक भवन बनाया।
[One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
12 १२ और दाऊद को निश्चय हो गया कि यहोवा ने मुझे इस्राएल का राजा करके स्थिर किया, और अपनी इस्राएली प्रजा के निमित्त मेरा राज्य बढ़ाया है।
His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
13 १३ जब दाऊद हेब्रोन से आया तब उसने यरूशलेम की और रखैलियाँ रख लीं, और पत्नियाँ बना लीं; और उसके और बेटे-बेटियाँ उत्पन्न हुईं।
After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
14 १४ उसकी जो सन्तान यरूशलेम में उत्पन्न हुई, उनके ये नाम हैं, अर्थात् शम्मू, शोबाब, नातान, सुलैमान,
The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 १७ जब पलिश्तियों ने यह सुना कि इस्राएल का राजा होने के लिये दाऊद का अभिषेक हुआ, तब सब पलिश्ती दाऊद की खोज में निकले; यह सुनकर दाऊद गढ़ में चला गया।
When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
19 १९ तब दाऊद ने यहोवा से पूछा, “क्या मैं पलिश्तियों पर चढ़ाई करूँ? क्या तू उन्हें मेरे हाथ कर देगा?” यहोवा ने दाऊद से कहा, “चढ़ाई कर; क्योंकि मैं निश्चय पलिश्तियों को तेरे हाथ कर दूँगा।”
David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
20 २० तब दाऊद बालपरासीम को गया, और दाऊद ने उन्हें वहीं मारा; तब उसने कहा, “यहोवा मेरे सामने होकर मेरे शत्रुओं पर जल की धारा के समान टूट पड़ा है।” इस कारण उसने उस स्थान का नाम बालपरासीम रखा।
So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
23 २३ जब दाऊद ने यहोवा से पूछा, तब उसने कहा, “चढ़ाई न कर; उनके पीछे से घूमकर तूत वृक्षों के सामने से उन पर छापा मार।
So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
24 २४ और जब तूत वृक्षों की फुनगियों में से सेना के चलने की सी आहट तुझे सुनाई पड़े, तब यह जानकर फुर्ती करना, कि यहोवा पलिश्तियों की सेना के मारने को मेरे आगे अभी पधारा है।”
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
