< 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 go the way of all the earth: be you strong therefore, and show yourself 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 your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself:
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 continue his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If your 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 you (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 you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on 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 )
Do therefore according to your wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol )
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 that eat at your table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom your 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, you have with you Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put you 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 )
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for you are a wise man, and know what you ought to do to him; but his hoar head bring you down to the grave with blood. (Sheol )
10 त्यसपछि दाऊद आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडियो ।
So 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 ।
Then sat Solomon on 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 ।”
And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you 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 to you. 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, You 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 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 you, deny me not. 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 you, to Solomon the king, (for he will not say you no, ) 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 you 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 seat 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 desire one small petition of you; I pray you, say me not no. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say you no.
21 उनले भनिन्, “तिम्रो दाजु अदोनियाहलाई शूनम्मी अबीशग पत्नीको रूपमा देऊ ।”
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your 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 you 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 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 lives, which has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me an house, as he promised, 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 on him 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 to Abiathar the priest said the king, Get you to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death: but I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because you have been 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 the LORD; that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, 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 ।
Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tabernacle 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 that Joab was fled to the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on 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 tabernacle of the LORD, 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 on him, and bury him; that you may take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
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 shall return his blood on his own head, who fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, 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 ।”
Their blood shall therefore return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for ever: but on David, and on his seed, and on his house, and on 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 ।
So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell on 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 to him, Build you an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth there any where.
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 it shall be, that on the day you go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, you shall know for certain that you shall surely die: your blood shall be on your 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 your servant do. And Shimei dwelled 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 Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants be 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 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 make you to swear by the LORD, and protested to you, saying, Know for a certain, on the day you go out, and walk abroad any where, that you shall surely die? and you said to me, The word that I have heard is good.
43 तब तिमीले किन परमप्रभुसित खाएको सपथ र मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरेनौ?”
Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged you 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, You know all the wickedness which your heart is privy to, that you did to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return your wickedness on your own head;
45 तर राजा सोलोमनचाहिँ आशिषित हुने छन्, र दाऊदको सिंहासन परमप्रभुको सामु सदाको निम्ति स्थापित हुने छ ।”
And 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; which went out, and fell on him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
