१ राजाहरू 1
1 जब राजा दाऊद वृद्ध भए र तिनको उमेर ढल्किसकेको थियो, तिनीहरूले तिनलाई कम्बल ओढाइदिँदा पनि तिनलाई न्यानो हुँदैनथ्यो ।
Now King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
2 त्यसैले तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हाम्रा मालिक राजाको लागि एउटी कन्या केटी खोजौँ । त्यसले राजाको सेवा गरोस् र उहाँको वास्ता गरोस् । त्यसले हाम्रा मालिक राजालाई न्यायो पार्न त्यो उहाँसित सुतोस् ।”
So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm.”
3 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका सारा सिमानाभित्र एउटी सुन्दरी स्त्रीको खोजी गरे । तिनीहरूले शूनम्मी अबीशगलाई फेला पारी राजाकहाँ ल्याए ।
Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.
4 केटी अत्यन्तै सुन्दरी थिइन् । उनले राजाको सेवा गरिन् र तिनको वास्ता गरिन्, तर राजाले उनीसित सहवास गरेनन् ।
The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
5 त्यस बेला हग्गीतका छोरा अदोनियाहले “म राजा हुने छु” भन्दै आफैलाई उचाले । त्यसैले तिनले पचास जना मानिससँगै रथहरू र घोडचढीहरू आफ्नो अगि दगुर्न तयार पारे ।
At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him.
6 “तैँले किन यस्तो व्यवहार गरेको?” भनी तिनका पिताले तिनलाई कहिल्यै सोधेनन् । अदोनियाह आफै पनि अत्यन्तै सुन्दर मानिस थिए र तिनी अब्शालोमभन्दा पछि जन्मेका थिए ।
(His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way?” Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.)
7 अदोनियाहले सरूयाहका छोरा योआब र पुजारी अबियाथारसित सरसल्लाह लिए । तिनीहरूले अदोनियाहलाई पछ्याएर तिनको मदत गरे ।
So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him.
8 तर पुजारी सादोक, यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह, नातान अगमवक्ता, शिमी, रेई र दाऊदका शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूचाहिँ अदोनियाहतर्फ लागेनन् ।
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join Adonijah.
9 अदोनियाले एन-रोगेलको छेउमा अवस्थित जोहेलेत भन्ने ढुङ्गानेर भेडा, गोरु र पोसिएका बाछाहरू बलिदान चढाए । तिनले आफ्ना सबै दाजुभाइ, राजा छोराहरू र यहूदाका सबै मानिसलगायत राजाका सेवकहरूलाई निमन्त्रणा दिए ।
And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth, which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king.
10 तर तिनले नातान अगमवक्ता, बनायाह, शक्तिशाली मानिसहरू र आफ्ना भाइ सोलोमनलाई निमन्त्रणा दिएनन् ।
But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
11 तब नातानले सोलोमनकी आमा बतशेबालाई यसो भन्दै सोधे, “हाम्रा मालिक दाऊदलाई थाहै नदिई हग्गीतका छोरा अदोनियाह राजा भएका छन् भन्ने कुरा के तपाईंले सुन्नुभएको छैन?”
Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it?
12 त्यसकारण, तपाईंले आफ्नै जीवन र तपाईंका छोरा सोलोमनको जीवन बचाउन सक्नुभएको होस् भनेर म अब तपाईंलाई सल्लाह दिन चाहन्छु ।
Now please, come and let me advise you. Save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
13 राजा दाऊदकहाँ गएर भन्नहोस्, ‘मेरा मालिक राजा, के तपाईंले आफ्नो सेवकलाई “निश्चय नै मपछि तिम्रो छोराले शासन गर्ने छ र त्यो नै मेरो सिंहासनमा बस्ने छ” भनी तपाईंले मसित शपथ खानुभएको होइन र? त्यसो भए, किन अदोनियाहले शासन गर्दै छन् त?’
Go at once to King David and say, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to your maidservant, “Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’
14 तपाईंले राजासित बोलिरहनुहुँदा म तपाईंको पछिपछि भित्र आउने छु र तपाईंको कुरा पुष्टि गरिदिने छु ।”
Then, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
15 त्यसैले बतशेबा राजाको कोठामा गइन् । राजा अत्यन्तै वृद्ध भइसकेका थिए, र शूनम्मी अबीशगले राजाको सेवा गर्दै थिइन् ।
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
16 बतशेबाले शिर झुकाई राजाको सामु शाष्टाङ्ग दण्डवत् गरिन् । तब राजाले सोधे, “तिमी के चाहन्छ्यौ?”
And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
17 उनले राजालाई भनिन्, “हे मेरा मालिक, परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा तपाईंले आफ्नी दासीसित यसो भन्दै शपथ खानुभएको थियो, ‘निश्चय नै मपछि तिम्रो छोराले शासन गर्ने छ र त्यो नै मेरो सिंहासनमा बस्ने छ ।”
“My lord,” she replied, “you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
18 अब हेर्नुहोस्, अदोनियाह राजा भएको छ, र मेरा मालिक हजुरलाई यो कुरा थाहै छैन ।
But now, behold, Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, did not know it.
19 तिनले ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा गोरुहरू, पोसिएका बाछाहरू र भेडा बलिदान चढाएका छन्, अनि राजाका सबै छोरा, पुजारी अबियाथार, र सेनापति योआबलाई निमन्त्रणा दिएका छन्, तर तपाईंका दास सोलोमनलाई भने निमन्त्रणा दिएका छैनन् ।
And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.
20 हे मेरा मालिक राजा, हजुरपछि को सिंहासनमा बस्ने छ भनी हजुरबाट थाहा पाउनलाई सारा इस्राएलले हजुरकै प्रतीक्षा गरिरहेका छन् ।
And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21 नत्रता जब हजुर आफ्ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित सुतिजानुहुने छ तब म र मेरो छोरो सोलोमनलाई अपराधीजस्तै ठानिने छ ।”
Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”
22 उनी राजासित बोलिरहँदा नातान अगमवक्ता भित्र आए ।
And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
23 सेवकहरूले राजालाई भने, “नातान अगवमक्ता आएका छन् ।” तिनी भित्र प्रवेश गरेपछि तिनले भुइँसम्मे निहुरेर राजालाई दण्डवत् गरे ।
So the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” And Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the king.
24 नातानले भने, “हे मेरा मालिक राजा, “के हजुरपछि अदोनियाह राजा हुने छन् र तिनी नै हजुरको सिंहासनमा बस्ने छन् भनी हजुरले भन्नुभएको छ र?’
“My lord the king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?
25 किनकि तिनी आज तल गएका छन्, र तिनले ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा गोरुहरू, पोसिएका बाछाहरू र भेडाहरू बलिदान चढाएका छन्, अनि तिनले राजाका सबै छोरा, सेनापतिहरू र पुजारी अबियाथारलाई निमन्त्रणा दिएका छन् । तिनीहरू तिनकै सामु खाँदै र पिउँदै यसो भन्दै छन्, ‘राजा अदोनियाह दीर्घायु होऊन्!’
For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 तर तिनले तपाईंका दास मलाई, पुजारी सादोक, यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह र हजुरको दास सोलोमनलाई निमन्त्रणा दिएका छैनन् ।
But me your servant he did not invite, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.
27 हे मेरा मालिक राजा, के हजुरपछि हजुरको सिंहासनमा को बस्ने भनेर हजुरले हामी हजुरका दासहरूलाई जानकारी नै नदिई यसो गर्नुभएको हो र?”
Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
28 तब राजा दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “बतशेबालाई फेरि मकहाँ बोलाऊ ।” उनी राजाको उपस्थितिमा आएर राजाको सामु खडा भइन् ।
Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
29 राजाले शपथ खाएर भने, “मेरा सबै सङ्कष्टमा मलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुने परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्दछु,
And the king swore an oath, saying, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
30 कि इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा मैले यसो भनी शपथ खाएको थिएँ, “मपछि तिम्रो छोरा सोलोमनले शासन गर्ने छ र त्यो नै मेरो सिंहासनमा बस्ने छ ।' आज म यो पुरा गर्ने छु ।”
I will carry out this very day exactly what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
31 तब बतशेबाले भुइँमा शिर झुकाई राजाको सामु घुँडा टेकेर भनिन्, “मेरा मालिक राजा दाऊद सदासर्वदा दीर्घायु होऊन्!”
Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
32 राजा दाऊदले भने, “पुजारी सादोक, नातान अगमवक्ता र यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई मकहाँ बोलाएर ल्याऊ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू राजाको सामु हाजिर भए ।
Then King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.
33 राजाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका मालिकका सेवकहरूलाई तिमीहरूसँगै लैजाओ, र मेरो पछि सोलोमनलाई राजाको खच्चरमा सवारा गराएर गीहोनसम्म सँगसँगै लैजाओ ।
“Take my servants with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.
34 पुजारी सादोक र नातान अगमवक्ताले तिनलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरून्, अनि तुरही फुकी यसो भनून्, ‘राजा सोलोमन दीर्घायु होऊन्!’
There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35 त्यसपछि तिमीहरू तिनको पछिपछि आओ र तिनी आएर मेरो सिंहासनमा बस्ने छन् । किनकि तिनी मेरो ठाउँमा राजा हुने छन् । मैले तिनलाई इस्राएल र यहूदामाथि शासक नियुक्त गरेको छु ।”
Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
36 यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “यस्तै होस्! मेरा मालिक राजाका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुले यसको पुष्टि गरून् ।
“Amen,” replied Benaiah son of Jehoiada. “May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.
37 जसरी परमप्रभु मेरा मालिक राजासित हुनुभएको छ, त्यसै गरी सोलोमनसित हुनुभएको होस्, र उहाँले मेरा मालिक राजा दाऊदको सिंहासनभन्दा सोलोमनको सिंहासन उच्च पार्नुभएको होस् ।”
Just as the LORD was with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon and make his throne even greater than that of my lord King David.”
38 त्यसैले, पुजारी सादोक, नातान अगमवक्ता, यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह र करेतीहरूसाथै पेलेथीहरू तल झरे अनि सोलोमनलाई राजा दाऊदको खच्चरमा सवार गराएर गीहोनमा ल्याए ।
Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.
39 पुजारी सादोकले पालबाट तेल राख्ने सिङ लिई सोलोमनलाई तेलले अभिषेक गरे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तुरही फुके, अनि सबै मानिसले भने, “राजा सोलोमन दीर्घायु होऊन्!”
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live King Solomon!”
40 तब सबै मानिस तिनको पछिपछि लागे, अनि मानिसहरूले बाँसुरी बजाउँदै बडो आनन्द मनाए । तिनीहरूको हल्लाले जमिनै थर्क्यो ।
All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
41 अदोनियाह र तिनीसित भएका सबै पाहुनाले खाइसक्ने बित्तिकै यो खबर सुने । योआबले तुरहीको आवाज सुनेपछि तिनले भने, “सहरमा किन हल्ला हुँदै छ?”
Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the city in such a loud uproar?” asked Joab.
42 तिनी बोलिरहँदा पुजारी अबियाथार का छोरा जोनाथन आइपुगे । अदोनियाहले भने, “भित्र आऊ, किनकि तिमी योग्य मानिस हौ र तिमीले शुभ खबर ल्याउँछौ ।”
As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”
43 जोनाथनले अदोनियाहलाई जवाफ दिए, “हाम्रा मालिक राजा दाऊदले सोलोमनलाई राजा बनाउनुभएको छ,
“Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
44 र राजाले तिनीसितै पुजारी सादोक, नातान अगमवक्ता, यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह र करेतीहरूसाथै पेलेथीहरूलाई पठाउनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले सोलोमनलाई राजाको खच्चरमा सवार गराएका छन् ।
And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.
45 पुजारी सादोक र नातान अगमवक्ताले गीहोनमा सोलोमनलाई राजा अभिषेक गरेका छन्, अनि तिनीहरू त्यहाँबाट रमाउँदै आएका छन् । सहरमा त्यसैको हल्ला हो । तपाईंले सुन्नुभएको आवाज त्यही नै हो ।
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
46 साथै, सोलोमन राज्यको सिंहासनमा बसिरहेका छन् ।
Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
47 यसबाहेक, राजाका सेवकहरू हाम्रा मालिक राजा दाऊदलाई यसो भन्दै आशिष् दिन आए, 'हजुरका परमेश्वरले सोलोमनको नाउँ हजुरको भन्दा उत्तम बनाऊन् र हजुरको भन्दा तिनको सिंहासन महान् बनाऊन् ।' त्यसपछि राजाले पलङ्गमा नै दण्डवत् गरे ।
The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on his bed,
48 राजाले यसो पनि भने, 'इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु धन्यका होऊन् जसले आजको दिन मेरो सिंहासनमा एक जना व्यक्तिलाई राख्नुभएको छ जुन मेरै आँखाले देखेका छन्' ।”
saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”
49 त्यसपछि अदोनियाहका सबै पाहुना अत्यन्तै डराए । तिनीहरू उठेर आ-आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
At this, all the guests of Adonijah arose in terror and scattered.
50 अदोनियाह सोलोमनदेखि डराएर उठे अनि गएर वेदीका सिङहरू समाते ।
But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns of the altar.
51 त्यसपछि सोलोमनलाई यसो भनियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, अदोनियाह राजा सोलोमनदेखि डराएका छन्, किनकि तिनले यसो भन्दै वेदीका सिङहरू समातेका छन्, ‘राजा सोलोमनले आफ्ना दासलाई तरवारले नमारून् भनी उहाँले पहिले मसित शपथ खानुभएको होस्' ।”
It was reported to Solomon: “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon first swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’”
52 सोलोमनले भने, “तिनले आफैलाई योग्य मानिस साबित गरे भने तिनको इच्छाविना एउटा रौँ पनि भुइँमा झर्ने छैन, तर तिनमा दुष्टता पाइयो भने तिनी मर्ने छन् ।”
And Solomon replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die.”
53 त्यसैले राजा सोलोमनले मानिसहरू पठाए जसले अदोनियाहलाई वेदीबाट लिएर आए । तिनी आएर राजा सोलोमनलाई दण्डवत् गरे, र सोलोमनले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो घरमा जाऊ ।”
So King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”
