१ इतिहास 19
1 त्यसको केही समयपछि अम्मोनीहरूका राजा नाहाशको मृत्यु भयो, र तिनको सट्टामा तिनका छोरा राजा भए ।
Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
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 ।
And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children 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 princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? are not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to explore the land?
4 यसकारण हानूनले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई समाते, तिनीहरूका कपाल खौरिदिए, र काँधदेखि कम्मरसम्म तिनीहरूका आधा लुगा काटेर तिनीहरूलाई पठाइदिए ।
Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by 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], and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are 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 ।
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, 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 thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon assembled from their cities, and came to battle.
8 जब दाऊदले यो कुरा सुने, तिनले योआब र जम्मै सेनालाई तिनीहरूसँग भेट गर्न पठाए ।
And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
9 अम्मोनका मानिसहरू आए र सहरको मूल ढोकामा लडाइँको निम्ति पङ्क्तिवद्ध भए । सहायताका निम्ति आएका राजाहरू भने खुला मैदानमा थिए ।
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that 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 selected all the choice of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians.
11 तिनका अरू बाँकी फौजलाई तिनले आफ्ना भाइ अबीशैको कमाण्डमा दिए, र उनीहरूलाई तिनले अम्मोनीहरूको विरुद्ध यद्धमा खडा गरे ।
And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array against the children 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 ।
And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13 साहसिलो होऊ! हामी आफ्ना मानिस र हाम्रा परमेश्वरका सहरहरूका निम्ति साहसिलो होऔं, किनकि परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल छ उहाँले त्यही गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do [that which is] good in his sight.
14 यसैले योआब र तिनका सेनाका फौज अरामीहरूका विरुद्ध अगाडि बढे । तिनीहरू इस्राएलको सेनाको सामुबाट भाग्न बाध्य पारिए ।
So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew nigh before the Syrians 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 ।
And 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.
16 जब अरामीहरूले आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएका देखे, तब तिनीहरूले यूफ्रेटिस नदीको पारिबाट हददेजेरका कमाण्डर शोपकको कमाण्डमा भएका अरू अरामी सेनालाई बोलाए ।
And when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that [were] beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.
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 ।
And it was told to David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon 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.
18 आरामीहरू इस्राएलदेखि भागे, र दाऊदले अरामीहरूका सात हजार सारथिहरू र चालीस हजार पैदल सिपाहीहरू मारे । तिनले सेनाका कमाण्डर शोपकलाई पनि मारे ।
But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [men who fought in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
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 ।
And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
