१ राजाहरू 2
1 दाऊदको मर्ने दिन नजिकिँदै गर्दा तिनले आफ्ना छोरा सोलोमनलाई यसो भने,
Now the days of David drew nigh 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 go 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 the LORD 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 mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest 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 the LORD may establish His word which He spoke concerning me, saying: If thy children 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, said He, 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 knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle 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 let not his hoar head go down to the grave 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 unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they drew nigh unto 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 the LORD, 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 hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to the grave 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: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he 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 firmly.
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 Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said: 'Comest thou peaceably?' And he said: 'Peaceably.'
14 तब तिनले भने, “मैले तपाईंलाई केही कुरो भन्नु छ ।” उनले भनिन्, “भन ।”
He said moreover: 'I have somewhat to say unto 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 knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign; howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.
16 अब म तपाईंलाई एउटा बिन्ती चढाउँछु र त्यसलाई इन्कार नगरिदिनुहोस् ।” बतशेबाले तिनलाई भनिन्, “भन ।”
And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not.' And she said unto 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, unto Solomon the king — for he will not say thee nay — that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.'
18 बतशेबाले भनिन्, “ठिक छ । म राजासित कुरा गर्ने छु ।”
And Bath-sheba said: 'Well; I will speak for thee unto 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 ।
Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed down unto 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; deny me not.' And the king said unto 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 unto his mother: 'And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine 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 the LORD, saying: 'God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have 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 the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath 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 the hand of 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 unto Abiathar the priest said the king: 'Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art deserving of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou wast 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 unto the LORD; that the word of the LORD might be fulfilled, 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 tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of the LORD, 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 is fled unto the Tent of the LORD, 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 the LORD, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the king: Come forth.' And he said: 'Nay; but I will die here.' And Benaiah brought back word unto the king, 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 unto him: 'Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest 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 the LORD will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host 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 for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.'
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 slew 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 host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room 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 unto him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
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 goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt 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 unto the king: 'The saying is good; as my lord the king hath 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 unto 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 ass, 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 back.
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 unto him: 'Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and forewarned thee, saying: Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me: The saying is good; I have heard it.
43 तब तिमीले किन परमप्रभुसित खाएको सपथ र मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरेनौ?”
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, 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 knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father; therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness 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 the LORD for ever.'
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.
