< १ राजाहरू 2 >

1 दाऊदको मर्ने दिन नजिकिँदै गर्दा तिनले आफ्ना छोरा सोलोमनलाई यसो भने,
Now the days of David drew near that he should die. And he charged Solomon his son, saying,
2 “संसारको रीतझैँ म पनि मर्दै छु । त्यसकारण, बलिया होऊ, र आफैलाई मर्द साबित गर ।
I am going the way of all the earth. Be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man,
3 मोशाको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएका परमप्रभु तिम्रा परमेश्वरका मार्गहरूमा हिँड्न, उहाँका विधिहरू, आज्ञाहरू, निर्णयहरू र उहाँका करारका आदेशहरू पालन गर्न होसियार होऊ ताकि तिमी जता गए पनि तिमीले गर्ने सबै काममा तिम्रो उन्नति होस्,
and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou may prosper in all that thou do, and wherever thou turn thyself.
4 ताकि परमप्रभुले मेरो बारेमा यसो भन्नुभएको वचन उहाँले पुरा गर्नुभएको होस्, 'तेरा छोराहरूले तिनीहरूका सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले विश्वसनीयतासाथ मेरो सामु हिँड्न होसियारीपूर्वक आफ्ना आचरणको रेखदेख गरे भने इस्राएलको सिंहासनमा बस्ने उत्तराधिकारीको कहिल्यै अभाव हुने छैन ।'
That Jehovah may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel.
5 सरूयाहका छोरा योआबले मलाई के गरे, र इस्राएलका दुई सेनापति अर्थात् नेरका छोरा अबनेर र येतेरका छोरा अमासलाई के गरे, सो तिमीलाई थाहै छ । तिनले दुवैलाई मारिदिए । तिनले शान्तिको समयमा युद्धको रगत बगाए, र युद्धको रगत आफ्नो कम्मरको पटुका र खुट्टाको जुत्तामा दले ।
Moreover thou also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
6 तिमीले सिकेको बुद्धिले योआबसित व्यवहार गर्नू, तर तिनको फुलेको कपाल शान्तिसित चिहानमा जान नपाओस् । (Sheol h7585)
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and do not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 तथापि, गिलादका बर्जिल्लैका छोराहरूमाथि दया देखाउनू, र तिम्रो टेबलमा खानेहरूमध्ये तिनीहरू पनि होऊन् किनकि म तिम्रो दाजु अब्शालोमबाट भाग्दा तिनीहरू मकहाँ आएका थिए ।
But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at thy table, for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
8 हेर, बहूरीमको बेन्यामीनी गेराको छोरो शिमी तिमीसितै छ, जसले म महनोममा जाँदा त्यस दिन मलाई बेसरी सरापेको थियो । शिमी यर्दनमा मलाई भेट गर्न आयो, र त्यसले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाँदै भन्यो, 'म तिमीलाई तरवारले मार्ने छैनँ ।'
And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
9 त्यसकारण, अब त्यसलाई दण्डविना नछोड्नू । तिमी बुद्धिमानी मानिस हौ, र त्यसलाई के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीलाई थाहा छ । तिमीले त्यसको फुलेको कपाल रगतसँगै चिहानमा ल्याउनू ।” (Sheol h7585)
Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for thou are a wise man, and thou will know what thou ought to do to him, and thou shall bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood. (Sheol h7585)
10 त्यसपछि दाऊद आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडियो ।
And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11 दाऊदले इस्राएलमाथि चालिस वर्षसम्म शासन गरे । तिनले हेब्रोनमा सात वर्षसम्म र यरूशलेममा तेत्तिस वर्षसम्म राज्य गरे ।
And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 तब सोलोमन आफ्ना पिता दाऊदको सिंहासनमा बसे, र तिनको शासन दृढतापूर्वक स्थापित थियो ।
And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established greatly.
13 त्यसपछि हग्गीतका छोरा अदोनियाह सोलोमनकी आमा बतशेबाकहाँ आए । उनले भनिन्, “के तिमी शान्तिसितै आयौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “हजुर, शान्तिसित आएँ ।”
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do thou come peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
14 तब तिनले भने, “मैले तपाईंलाई केही कुरो भन्नु छ ।” उनले भनिन्, “भन ।”
He said moreover, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Say on.
15 अदोनियाहले भने, “तपाईंलाई थाहै छ, कि राज्य मेरै थियो, र सारा इस्राएलले म नै राजा हुने छु भनी अपेक्षा गरेरहेका थिए । तर कुरो परिवर्तन भयो, र राज्य मेरो भाइलाई दिइयो किनकि परमप्रभुले यो तिनलाई दिनुभएको थियो ।
And he said, Thou know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
16 अब म तपाईंलाई एउटा बिन्ती चढाउँछु र त्यसलाई इन्कार नगरिदिनुहोस् ।” बतशेबाले तिनलाई भनिन्, “भन ।”
And now I ask one petition of thee; do not deny me. And she said to him, Say on.
17 तिनले भने, “मैले शुनम्मी अबीशगलाई पत्नीको रूपमा लैजान पाऊँ भनी सोलोमन राजालाई बिन्ती गरिदिनुहोस् ।”
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king (for he will not say no thee), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
18 बतशेबाले भनिन्, “ठिक छ । म राजासित कुरा गर्ने छु ।”
And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
19 त्यसकारण अदोनियाहको निम्ति कुरा गर्न बतशेबा राजा सोलोमनकहाँ गइन् । उनलाई भेट्न राजा खडा भए र तिनले उनलाई दण्डवत् गरे । त्यसपछि राजा आफ्नो सिंहासनमा बसे, र राजाकी आमाको निम्ति एउटा सिंहासन ल्याउने हुकुम गरे । उनी राजाको दाहिने हातपट्टि बसिन् ।
Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother. And she sat on his right hand.
20 त्यसपछि उनले भनिन्, “तिमीलाई एउटा सानो बिन्ती चढाउने इच्छा छ, किनकि तिमीले इन्कार गर्ने छैनौ ।” राजाले उनलाई भने, “भन्नुहोस् मेरी आमा । म त्यसलाई इन्कार गर्ने छैनँ ।”
Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; do not deny me. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny thee.
21 उनले भनिन्, “तिम्रो दाजु अदोनियाहलाई शूनम्मी अबीशग पत्नीको रूपमा देऊ ।”
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
22 राजा सोलोमनले आफ्नी आमालाई भने, “तपाईं किन शूनम्मी अबीशगलाई अदोनियाहको लागि माग्नुहुन्छ? तपाईं तिनको लागि किन राज्य नै माग्नुहुन्न? किनकि तिनी मेरा दाजु हुन् । किन पुजारी अबियाथार र सरूयाहका छोरा योआबको निम्ति पनि माग्नुहुन्न?”
And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother, even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
23 तब राजा सोलोमनले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा यसो भनी शपथ खाए, “यो बिन्तिको निम्ति अदोनियाहले आफ्नो ज्यान गुमाएनन् भने परमेश्वरले मलाई त्योभन्दा कठोर व्यवहार गरून् ।
Then king Solomon swore by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
24 त्यसकारण मलाई स्थापित गर्नुहुने, मलाई मेरा पिता दाऊदको सिंहासनमा राख्नुहुने र आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञाअनुसार मेरो वंश खडा गर्नुहुने जीवित परमप्रभुको नाउँमा म भन्दछु, कि आज निश्चय नै अदोनियाह मारिने छन् ।”
Now therefore as Jehovah lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
25 त्यसैले राजा सोलोमनले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई पठाए, र बनायाहले अदोनियाहलाई फेला पारी मारे ।
And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he fell upon him so that he died.
26 तब राजाले पुजारी अबियाथारलाई भने, “तिम्रो आफ्नै जग्गा अनातोतमा जाऊ । तिमी मृत्युको लायक छौ, तर मेरा पिता दाऊदको सामु तिमीले परमप्रभुको सन्दुक बोकेकाले र मेरा पिताजस्तै हरेक मार्गमा तिमीले दुःख भोगेकाले तिमीलाई म यस बेला मार्दिनँ ।”
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Get thee to Anathoth, to thine own fields, for thou are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou bore the ark of the lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou were afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
27 त्यसैले सोलोमनले अबियाथारलाई पुजारीको पदबाट हटाइदिए । यसरी शीलोमा बस्ने एलीका घरानाको बारेमा परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको वचन पुरा भयो ।
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, that he might fulfill the word of Jehovah, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 यो खबर योआबकहाँ आयो किनकि योआबले अदोनियाहलाई समर्थन गरेका थिए, यद्यपि तिनले अब्शालोमलाई भने समर्थन गरेका थिएनन् । त्यसैले योआब परमप्रभुको पालभित्र भागे, र वेदीका सिङहरू पक्रेर बसे ।
And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he did not turn after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
29 योआब भागेर गई वेदीको छेउमा बसेका छन् भनी सोलोमनलाई बताइयो । तब सोलोमनले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई यसो भनी पठाए, “जाऊ र तिनलाई मार ।”
And it was told king Solomon, Joab has fled to the tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
30 त्यसैले बनायाह परमप्रभुको पालभित्र प्रवेश गरी योआबलाई भने, “राजाले तिमीलाई बाहिर आउनू हुकुम गर्नुभएको छ ।” योआबले जवाफ दिए, “अँहँ, म यहीँ नै मर्ने छु ।” त्यसैले बनायाह राजाकहाँ फर्के र भने, “योआब वेदीमा नै मर्न चाहन्छन् ।”
And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And he said, No, but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
31 राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तिनले भनेजस्तै गर । तिनलाई मारेर गाड । यसरी म र तिमीले मेरा पिताको घरानाबाट विनाकारण योआबले बगाएको रगतको दोष लैजाने छौ ।
And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him, that thou may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.
32 तिनले बगाएको रगतको दोष तिनकै शिरमाथि परोस् किनकि तिनले मेरा पिता दाऊदको जानकारीविनै आफूभन्दा धर्मी र उत्तम दुई जना मानिस अर्थात् इस्राएलका सेनापति नेरका छोरा अबनेर र यहूदाका सेनापति येतेरका छोरा अमासलाई आक्रमण गरी तिनीहरूलाई तरवारले मारे ।
And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it, namely, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
33 त्यसैले तिनीहरूको रगतको दोष सदाको निम्ति योआब र तिनका सन्तानहरूका शिरमाथि परोस् । तर दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरू अनि तिनको वंश र तिनको सिंहासनमा भने सदासर्वदा परमप्रभुबाट शान्ति आओस् ।”
So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Jehovah.
34 तब यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह माथि उक्ले अनि योआबलाई प्रहार गरी मारे । तिनलाई उजाड-स्थानमा तिनको आफ्नै जग्गामा गाडियो ।
Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and killed him. And he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 राजाले तिनको ठाउँमा यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई सेनापतिमा र अबियाथारको ठाउँमा सादोकलाई पुजारीमा नियुक्त गरे ।
And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the army. And the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
36 त्यसपछि राजाले शिमीलाई डाक्न पठाए र तिनलाई भने, “आफ्नो निम्ति यरूशलेममा घर बनाएर त्यहीँ बस, अनि त्यहाँबाट कतै नजाऊ ।
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth from there anywhere.
37 किनकि जुन दिन तिमी किद्रोन उपत्यका पार गरेर जान्छौ, निश्चय नै तिमी मारिने छौ भनी जान । तिम्रो रगतको दोष तिम्रै शिरमाथि पर्ने छ ।”
For on the day thou go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shall surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
38 त्यसैले शिमीले राजालाई भने, “तपाईंले भन्नुभएको कुरो राम्रो छ । मेरा मालिक राजाले भन्नुभएझैँ हजुरको दासले गर्ने छ ।” त्यसैले धेरै दिनसम्म शिमी यरूशलेममा नै बसे ।
And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
39 तर तिन वर्षको अन्त्यमा शिमीका दुई जना दास गातका राजा माकाका छोरा आकीशकहाँ भागेर गए । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले शिमीलाई यसो भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका दासहरू गातमा छन् ।”
And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
40 तब शिमी उठे अनि गधामा जीनकाठी कसेर आफ्ना दासहरूको खोजीमा आकीशकहाँ गए र गातबाट आफ्ना दासहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याए ।
And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants. And Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
41 शिमी यरूशलेमबाट गातमा गएर फर्केका छन् भनी जब सोलोमनलाई सुनाइयो,
And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
42 तब राजाले शिमीलाई डाक्न पठाए र तिनलाई भने, “'जुन दिन तिमी यहाँबाट अन्त कतै जान्छौ, तिमी निश्चय नै मारिने छौ भनी जान' भनी के मैले परप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाई तिमीलाई गवाही दिएको थिइनँ र? तब तिमीले मलाई भन्यौ, 'हजुरले भन्नुभएको कुरा राम्रो छ ।'
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou go out, and walk abroad anywhere, thou shall surely die? And thou said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.
43 तब तिमीले किन परमप्रभुसित खाएको सपथ र मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरेनौ?”
Why then have thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
44 राजाले शिमीलाई यसो पनि भने, “तिमीले मेरा पितालाई गरेका सबै दुष्टता तिमीलाई आफ्नो मनमा थाहा छ । त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले तिम्रो दुष्टता तिम्रै शिरमाथि फर्काइदिनुहुने छ ।
The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou know all the iniquity which thy heart is privy to, what thou did to David my father. Therefore Jehovah shall return thy iniquity upon thine own head.
45 तर राजा सोलोमनचाहिँ आशिषित हुने छन्, र दाऊदको सिंहासन परमप्रभुको सामु सदाको निम्ति स्थापित हुने छ ।”
But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah forever.
46 तब राजाले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई आज्ञा दिएअनुसार तिनले शिमीलाई मारे । यसरी सोलोमनको हातमा शासन बलियो गरी स्थापित भयो ।
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And he went out, and fell upon him so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
