१ इतिहास 19
1 त्यसको केही समयपछि अम्मोनीहरूका राजा नाहाशको मृत्यु भयो, र तिनको सट्टामा तिनका छोरा राजा भए ।
And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
2 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 ।
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 people of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 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?”
But the leaders of the people 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?"
4 यसकारण हानूनले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई समाते, तिनीहरूका कपाल खौरिदिए, र काँधदेखि कम्मरसम्म तिनीहरूका आधा लुगा काटेर तिनीहरूलाई पठाइदिए ।
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 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 ।”
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
6 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 ।
When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 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 ।
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 जब दाऊदले यो कुरा सुने, तिनले योआब र जम्मै सेनालाई तिनीहरूसँग भेट गर्न पठाए ।
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
9 अम्मोनका मानिसहरू आए र सहरको मूल ढोकामा लडाइँको निम्ति पङ्क्तिवद्ध भए । सहायताका निम्ति आएका राजाहरू भने खुला मैदानमा थिए ।
The people 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.
10 जब योआबले आफूलाई अगि र पछि दुवैतिर लडाइँले घेरेको थाहा पाए, तब तिनले केही असल इस्राएली फौजलाई लिए र अरामीहरूको विरुद्ध तयार पारे ।
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
11 तिनका अरू बाँकी फौजलाई तिनले आफ्ना भाइ अबीशैको कमाण्डमा दिए, र उनीहरूलाई तिनले अम्मोनीहरूको विरुद्ध यद्धमा खडा गरे ।
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people of Ammon.
12 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 ।
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13 साहसिलो होऊ! हामी आफ्ना मानिस र हाम्रा परमेश्वरका सहरहरूका निम्ति साहसिलो होऔं, किनकि परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल छ उहाँले त्यही गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him."
14 यसैले योआब र तिनका सेनाका फौज अरामीहरूका विरुद्ध अगाडि बढे । तिनीहरू इस्राएलको सेनाको सामुबाट भाग्न बाध्य पारिए ।
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 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 ।
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 जब अरामीहरूले आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएका देखे, तब तिनीहरूले यूफ्रेटिस नदीको पारिबाट हददेजेरका कमाण्डर शोपकको कमाण्डमा भएका अरू अरामी सेनालाई बोलाए ।
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 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 ।
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with him.
18 आरामीहरू इस्राएलदेखि भागे, र दाऊदले अरामीहरूका सात हजार सारथिहरू र चालीस हजार पैदल सिपाहीहरू मारे । तिनले सेनाका कमाण्डर शोपकलाई पनि मारे ।
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
19 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 ।
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
