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] stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
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 ।”
Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
3 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका सारा सिमानाभित्र एउटी सुन्दरी स्त्रीको खोजी गरे । तिनीहरूले शूनम्मी अबीशगलाई फेला पारी राजाकहाँ ल्याए ।
So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a 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 ।
And the damsel [was] very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
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 ।
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before 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 ।
And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also [was a] very goodly [man; ] and [his mother] bare him after Absalom.
7 अदोनियाहले सरूयाहका छोरा योआब र पुजारी अबियाथारसित सरसल्लाह लिए । तिनीहरूले अदोनियाहलाई पछ्याएर तिनको मदत गरे ।
And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped [him].
8 तर पुजारी सादोक, यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह, नातान अगमवक्ता, शिमी, रेई र दाऊदका शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूचाहिँ अदोनियाहतर्फ लागेनन् ।
But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which [belonged] to David, were not with 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 slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which [is] by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants:
10 तर तिनले नातान अगमवक्ता, बनायाह, शक्तिशाली मानिसहरू र आफ्ना भाइ सोलोमनलाई निमन्त्रणा दिएनन् ।
But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
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?”
Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth [it] not?
12 त्यसकारण, तपाईंले आफ्नै जीवन र तपाईंका छोरा सोलोमनको जीवन बचाउन सक्नुभएको होस् भनेर म अब तपाईंलाई सल्लाह दिन चाहन्छु ।
Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy 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 and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
14 तपाईंले राजासित बोलिरहनुहुँदा म तपाईंको पछिपछि भित्र आउने छु र तपाईंको कुरा पुष्टि गरिदिने छु ।”
Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
15 त्यसैले बतशेबा राजाको कोठामा गइन् । राजा अत्यन्तै वृद्ध भइसकेका थिए, र शूनम्मी अबीशगले राजाको सेवा गर्दै थिइन् ।
And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
16 बतशेबाले शिर झुकाई राजाको सामु शाष्टाङ्ग दण्डवत् गरिन् । तब राजाले सोधे, “तिमी के चाहन्छ्यौ?”
And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
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 ।”
And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, [saying], Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
18 अब हेर्नुहोस्, अदोनियाह राजा भएको छ, र मेरा मालिक हजुरलाई यो कुरा थाहै छैन ।
And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest [it] not:
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 hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
20 हे मेरा मालिक राजा, हजुरपछि को सिंहासनमा बस्ने छ भनी हजुरबाट थाहा पाउनलाई सारा इस्राएलले हजुरकै प्रतीक्षा गरिरहेका छन् ।
And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall 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 it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
22 उनी राजासित बोलिरहँदा नातान अगमवक्ता भित्र आए ।
And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
23 सेवकहरूले राजालाई भने, “नातान अगवमक्ता आएका छन् ।” तिनी भित्र प्रवेश गरेपछि तिनले भुइँसम्मे निहुरेर राजालाई दण्डवत् गरे ।
And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
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?’
And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon 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 he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
26 तर तिनले तपाईंका दास मलाई, पुजारी सादोक, यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह र हजुरको दास सोलोमनलाई निमन्त्रणा दिएका छैनन् ।
But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.
27 हे मेरा मालिक राजा, के हजुरपछि हजुरको सिंहासनमा को बस्ने भनेर हजुरले हामी हजुरका दासहरूलाई जानकारी नै नदिई यसो गर्नुभएको हो र?”
Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed [it] unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
28 तब राजा दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “बतशेबालाई फेरि मकहाँ बोलाऊ ।” उनी राजाको उपस्थितिमा आएर राजाको सामु खडा भइन् ।
Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.
29 राजाले शपथ खाएर भने, “मेरा सबै सङ्कष्टमा मलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुने परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्दछु,
And the king sware, and said, [As] the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of 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 ।”
Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
31 तब बतशेबाले भुइँमा शिर झुकाई राजाको सामु घुँडा टेकेर भनिन्, “मेरा मालिक राजा दाऊद सदासर्वदा दीर्घायु होऊन्!”
Then Bath-sheba bowed with [her] face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
32 राजा दाऊदले भने, “पुजारी सादोक, नातान अगमवक्ता र यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई मकहाँ बोलाएर ल्याऊ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू राजाको सामु हाजिर भए ।
And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And 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 ।
The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
34 पुजारी सादोक र नातान अगमवक्ताले तिनलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरून्, अनि तुरही फुकी यसो भनून्, ‘राजा सोलोमन दीर्घायु होऊन्!’
And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save 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 ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
36 यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “यस्तै होस्! मेरा मालिक राजाका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुले यसको पुष्टि गरून् ।
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so [too].
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 ।”
As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne 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 ।
So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought 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!”
And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
40 तब सबै मानिस तिनको पछिपछि लागे, अनि मानिसहरूले बाँसुरी बजाउँदै बडो आनन्द मनाए । तिनीहरूको हल्लाले जमिनै थर्क्यो ।
And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
41 अदोनियाह र तिनीसित भएका सबै पाहुनाले खाइसक्ने बित्तिकै यो खबर सुने । योआबले तुरहीको आवाज सुनेपछि तिनले भने, “सहरमा किन हल्ला हुँदै छ?”
And Adonijah and all the guests that [were] with him heard [it] as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore [is this] noise of the city being in an uproar?
42 तिनी बोलिरहँदा पुजारी अबियाथार का छोरा जोनाथन आइपुगे । अदोनियाहले भने, “भित्र आऊ, किनकि तिमी योग्य मानिस हौ र तिमीले शुभ खबर ल्याउँछौ ।”
And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou [art] a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
43 जोनाथनले अदोनियाहलाई जवाफ दिए, “हाम्रा मालिक राजा दाऊदले सोलोमनलाई राजा बनाउनुभएको छ,
And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath 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 the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon 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 ।
And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This [is] the noise that ye have heard.
46 साथै, सोलोमन राज्यको सिंहासनमा बसिरहेका छन् ।
And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
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 ।
And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the 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' ।”
And also thus said the king, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing [it].
49 त्यसपछि अदोनियाहका सबै पाहुना अत्यन्तै डराए । तिनीहरू उठेर आ-आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
50 अदोनियाह सोलोमनदेखि डराएर उठे अनि गएर वेदीका सिङहरू समाते ।
And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on 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' ।”
And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he will not slay his servant with 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 said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall 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 sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
