१ शमूएल 10
1 त्यसपछि शमूएलले एक ढुङ्ग्रो तेल लिए, त्यो शाऊलको शिरमाथि खन्याए, तिनलाई चुम्बन गरे । तिनले भने, “के परमप्रभुले उहाँको उत्तराधिकारको शासक हुनलाई तपाईंलाई अभिषेक गर्नुभएको हैन र?
Then Samuel took a small jar of olive oil and poured [some of] it on Saul’s head. Then he kissed Saul [on the cheek], and told him, “I am doing this because Yahweh has chosen you to be the leader of his Israeli people.
2 जब तपाईं आज जानुहुनेछ, बेन्यामीनको सेल्सहको इलाकामा राहेलको चिहान नजिक तपाईंले दुई जना मानिसहरू भेट्टाउनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई भन्नेछन्, 'तपाईंले खोजिरहेका गधाहरू भेट्टाइएका छन् । अहिले तपाईंको बुबाले गधाहरू बारेमा चिन्ता गर्न छोडेर “मेरो छोराको बारेमा म के गरौं” भन्दै तपाईंको बारेमा चिन्ता गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।'
[And this will prove it to you]: When you leave me today, when you arrive near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live, you will meet two men. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys have been found, but now your father is worrying about you, and he is asking people, “Have you seen my son?’”
3 तब तपाईं त्यहाँबाट अगि जानुहुँदा, तपाईं तबोरको फलाँटको रूखमा आउनुहुनेछ । एक जनाले तिनवटा पाठा, अर्कोले तिन वटा रोटी र अर्कोले एक मशक दाखमद्य बोकेर बेथेलमा परमेश्वरकहाँ गइरहेका तिन जना मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंले भेट्टाउनुहुनेछ ।
When you arrive at the [large] oak tree at Tabor [town], you will see three men coming toward you. They will be on their way to [worship] God at Bethel [town]. One of them will be leading three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a container of wine.
4 तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई अभिादन गर्नेछन् र तपाईंलाई दुई वटा रोटी दिनेछन्, जुन तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हातबाट लिनुहुनेछ ।
They will greet you, and they will offer you two of the loaves of bread. Accept them.
5 त्यसपछि तपाईं परमप्रभुको पर्वतमा आउनुहुनेछ, जहाँ पलिस्तीहरूको चौकी छ । जब तपाईं सहरमा आइपुग्नुहुनेछ, तब तपाईंले वीणा, खैंजडी, बाँसुरी र सितार अगिअगि बजाउँदै तल आइरहेको भेट्टाउनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले अगमवाणी गरिरहेका हुनेछन् ।
When you arrive at the hill [where people worship] God near Gibeah [town], where there is the camp where the Philistine soldiers stay, you will meet a group of prophets who will be coming down from the altar on top of the hill. There will be people in front of them who will be playing [various musical instruments]: a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre. And all of them will be speaking messages that come directly from God.
6 परमप्रभुको आत्मा तपाईंमाथि आउनुहुनेछ र तिनीहरूसँगै तपाईंले पनि अगमवाणी बोल्नुहुनेछ, र तपाईं एक जना अर्कै मानिस बद्लनुहुनेछ ।
At that time the Spirit of Yahweh will come upon you, and you also will speak messages that come directly from God. (You will be changed/The Spirit of Yahweh will change you), so that you will become like a different person.
7 त्यति बेला जब यी चिन्हहरू तपाईंमा हुनेछन्, तब तपाईंको हातले जे भेट्टाउँछ सो गर्नुहोस्, किनकि परमेश्वर तपाईंसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
After those things occur, do whatever you think is right to do, and God will (be with/help) you.
8 मेरो अगि तल गिलगालमा जानुहोस् । त्यसपछि म होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाउन म तपाईंकहाँ तल आउनेछु । म नआएसम्म र तपाईंले के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तपाईंलाई नदेखाएसम्म सात दिनसम्म पर्खनुहोस् ।”
Then go ahead of me, down to Gilgal [city], and wait for me there, for seven days. Then I will join you there, to burn sacrifices and offer other sacrifices to enable you to maintain fellowship with God. When I arrive there, I will tell you what [other] things you should do.”
9 शमूएलबाट विदा हुनलाई जब शाऊलले पिठ्युँ फर्काए, तब परमेश्वरले तिनलाई अर्कै हृदय दिनुभयो । तब ती सबै चिन्हहरू त्यसै दिन पुरा भयो ।
As Saul started to leave there, God changed Saul’s inner being. And all the things that Samuel had predicted happened on that day.
10 जब तिनीहरू डाँडामा आए, अगमवक्ताको एक समूहले तिनलाई भेटे र परमेश्वरको आत्मा तिनीमाथि आउनुभयो ताकि तिनले उनीहरूसँगै भविष्यवाणी बोले ।
When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw some prophets who were [speaking messages that came directly from God. As the prophets were] approaching Saul and his servant, God’s Spirit came upon Saul powerfully, and he also began to speak messages from God.
11 जब तिनलाई पहिले चिनेकाहरूले हरेकले तिनलाई अगमवक्ताहरूका साथमा अगमवाणी बोलिरहेको देखे, तब मानिसहरूले एक-आपसमा भने, “कीशका छोरालाई के भएको छ? के शाऊल अब अगमवक्ताहरूमध्ये एक जना भएछन्?”
When people who had known Saul previously heard him speaking messages from God as the prophets were doing, they said to each other, “What has happened to this son of Kish? Is he now really one of the (prophets/men who speak messages from God)?”
12 त्यही ठाउँका एक जना मानिसले जवाफ दिए, “तब तिनका बुबा को हुन?” यही कारणले गर्दा “के शाऊल पनि अगमवक्ताहरूमध्ये एक जना भएछन्?” भन्ने भनाइ चल्यो ।
One of the men who lived there replied, “[Saul cannot be a prophet, because] all prophets receive their power to speak messages from God, not from their parents.” And that is why, [when people hear about a report of someone prophesying, they think about what happened to Saul and] say, “[We are surprised about that person becoming a prophet, like] we were surprised to hear that Saul had really become one of the prophets.”
13 जब तिनले अगमवाणी बोलेर सके, तब तिनी उच्च स्थानमा आए ।
When Saul finished speaking the messages that God gave him, he went to the place where the people offered sacrifices.
14 त्यसपछि शाऊलका काकाले तिनी र तिनको सेवकलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरू कहाँ गयौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “गधाहरू खोज्नलाई । जब ती भेट्टाउन नसक्ने हामीले देख्यौं, तब हामी शमूएलकहाँ गयौं ।”
Later, Saul’s uncle [saw him there, and] asked him, “Where did you go?” Saul replied, “We went to look for the donkeys. When we could not find them, we came here to ask Samuel [if he could tell us where they were].”
15 शऊलका काकाले भने, “शमूएलले तिमीलाई के भने कृपया मलाई भन ।”
Saul’s uncle replied, “What did Samuel tell you?”
16 शऊलले आफ्नो काकालाई जवाफ दिए, “गधाहरू भेट्टाइएका छन् भनी तिनले हामीलाई प्रष्ट रूपमा भने ।” तर शमूएलले भनेका राज्यको विषयमा भने तिनले उनलाई भनेनन् ।
Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming the king [of Israel].
17 शमूएलले मानिसहरूलाई मिस्पामा परमप्रभुको सामु एकसाथ भेला गरे ।
[Later] Samuel summoned the people of Israel to gather at Mizpah to [hear a message from] Yahweh.
18 तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः ‘मैले इस्राएललाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याएँ र मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रीहरूका हातबाट र तिमीहरूको विरोध गर्ने सबै राज्यहरू शक्तिबाट छुटकारा दिएँ ।'
After they arrived, he said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people [worship], says: I brought you Israeli people out of Egypt. I rescued your [ancestors] from the power of the rulers of Egypt and from all the other kings who oppressed them.
19 तर तिमीहरूका सबै विपत्तिहरू र तिमीहरूका कष्टबाट बचाउनुहुने तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई आज तिमीहरूले इन्कार गरेका छौ । अनि तिमीहरूले उनलाई भनेका छौ, हामीमाथि एक जना राजा खडा गर्नुहोस् ।' अब आ-आफ्ना वंशअनुसार र कुलअनुसार आफैलाई परमप्रभुको सामु प्रस्तुत गर ।”
I am the one who saves you from all your troubles and difficulties. But today you have rejected me, your God, and you have said, ‘We don’t care! Give us a king!’ So [I will do what you want]. Now have [representatives of] your tribes and [of] your clans stand here in the presence of Yahweh.’”
20 त्यसैले शमूएलले इस्राएलका सबै कुललाई नजिक ल्याए र बेन्यामीनको कुल चुनियो ।
When those representatives came near to Samuel, [God indicated that] he had chosen someone from the tribe descended from Benjamin.
21 अनि तिनले बेन्यामीनको कुललाई आफ्ना वंशअनुसार ल्याए । अनि मत्रीको वंश चुनियो, र कीशका छोरा शाऊललाई चुनियो । तर जब तिनीहरू उनलाई खोज्न गए तब उनी भेट्टाइएनन् ।
Then Samuel told representatives of the tribe of Benjamin to come forward, and God indicated that [from that tribe] he had chosen someone from the family of Matri, and then God indicated that [from the family of Matri] he had chosen Saul, the son of Kish. But when they looked for Saul, they could not find him.
22 तब मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरलाई अझै प्रश्न सोध्ने इच्छा गरे, “के अझै अर्को मानिस आउनै छ?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “तिनले आफैलाई सर-सामानाका बिचमा लुकाएका छन् ।”
So they asked Yahweh, “Where is Saul?” Yahweh replied, “He is hiding among the army equipment.”
23 तब तिनीहरू दौडे र शाऊललाई त्यहाँबाट निकाले । जब तिनी मानिसहरू माझमा खडा भए, तब तिनी अरू कुनै पनि मानिसभन्दा तिनको कुमभन्दामाथि अग्ला थिए ।
So they quickly went there [and found him, ] and brought him [in front of all the people]. They could see that [truly] he was a head taller than anyone else.
24 शामूएलले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “के परमप्रभुले चुन्नुभएको मानिसलाई तिमीहरूले देख्दैछौ? सबै मानिसहरूका माझमा तिनीजस्ता अरू कोही छैन ।” सबै मानिसहरू यसो भन्दै कराए, “राजा अमर रहून्” ।
Then Samuel said to all the people there, “This is the man whom Yahweh has chosen to be your king. Among all us Israeli people, there is no one like him!” Then all the people shouted, “We hope that this king will live a long time!”
25 तब शमूएलले राजाको शासनको चलन र नियमहरूका बारेमा मानिसहरूलाई भने, तिनलाई एउटा पुस्तकमा लेखे र त्यो परमप्रभुको सामु राखिदिए । अनि शमूएलले सबै मानिसलाई आ-आफ्नै घरमा पठाइदिए ।
Then Samuel told the people what things the king would force them to do, and all the things the king was required to do. He wrote all those things on a scroll, and then he put it in a sacred place in the temple. Then Samuel sent all the people home.
26 शाऊल पनि गिबामा आफ्नो घरमा गए र तिनको साथमा केही बलिया मानिसहरू गए, जसका हृदयहरूमा परमेश्वरले छुनुभएको थियो ।
When Saul returned to his home in Gibeah [town], a group of men decided to continually accompany Saul. They did that because God (motivated them/put it in their minds) to do that.
27 तर केही बदमासहरूले भने, “यो मानिसले हामीलाई कसरी बचाउन सक्छ?” यी मानिसहरूले शऊललाई घृणा गरे र तिनलाई कुनै उपहारहरू दिएनन् । तर शाऊल शान्त बसे ।
But some worthless men said, “(How can this man save us [from our enemies]?/This man will not be able to save us [from our enemies].)” [RHQ] They despised him, and refused to give him any gifts [to show that they would be loyal to him]. But Saul did not say anything [to rebuke them].
