१ शमूएल 11
1 त्यसपछि अम्मोनी नाहाश गए र याबेश-गिलादलाई घेरा हाले । याबेशका सबै मानिसले नाहाशलाई भने, “हामीसँग एउटा करार गर्नुहोस् र हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्नेछौं ।”
And Nahash the Ammonite comes up, and encamps against Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we serve you.”
2 अम्मोनी नाहाशले जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरूसँग म यस शर्तमा सम्झौता गर्नेछु, कि म तिमीहरूको दाहिने आँखा निकालिदिनेछु, र यसरी सारा इस्राएलमाथि म अपमान ल्याउनेछु ।”
And Nahash the Ammonite says to them, “For this I cut [a covenant] with you, in picking out every right eye of yours—and I have set it [for] a reproach on all Israel.”
3 तब याबेशका धर्म-गुरुहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हामीलाई सात दिनसम्म छोडिदिनुहोस्, ताकि इस्राएलका सबै इलाकामा हामी दूतहरू पठाउनेछौं । तब हामीलाई बचाउने कोही भएन भने हामी तपाईंकहाँ आत्मासमर्पण गर्नेछौं ।
And [the] elderly of Jabesh say to him, “Leave us alone [for] seven days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and if there is none saving us—then we have come out to you.”
4 ती दूतहरू गिबामा आए जहाँ शाऊल बस्थे र जे भएको थियो सो मानिसहरूलाई भने । सबै मानिसहरू धुरुधुरु रोए ।
And the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up their voice and weep;
5 यति बेला शाऊल खतेबाट गोरुहरू लिएर आउँदै थियो । शऊलले भने, “मानिसहरूलाई के खराबी भयो जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू रुँदैछन्?” याबेशका मानिसहरूले जे भनेका थिए सो तिनीहरूले शाऊललाई भने ।
and behold, Saul has come out of the field after the herd, and Saul says, “What [is that] to the people, that they weep?” And they recount the words of the men of Jabesh to him.
6 जब तिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा शाऊलले सुने, तब तिनीमाथि परमेश्वरको आत्मा आउनुभयो र तिनी साह्रै रिसाए ।
And the Spirit of God prospers over Saul, in his hearing these words, and his anger burns greatly,
7 तिनले एक हल गोरु लिए र तिनलाई टुक्रा-टक्रा गरी काटे र ती इस्राएलको सबै इलाकामा ती दूतहरूसँगै पठाए । तिनले भने, “शाऊल र शमूएलको पछि नआउने व्यक्तिको गोरुलाई यसै गरिनेछ ।” अनि परमप्रभुको भय मानिसहरूमाथि पर्यो र तिनीहरू एक जना मानिसझैं एकसाथ निस्केर आए ।
and he takes a couple of oxen, and cuts them in pieces, and sends [them] through all the border of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, “He who is not coming out after Saul and after Samuel—thus it is done to his oxen”; and the fear of YHWH falls on the people, and they come out as one man.
8 जब उनीहरूलाई तिनले बेजेकमा भेला पारे, तब इस्राएलका मनिसहरू तिन लाख जना थिए र यहूदाका मानिसहरू तिस हजार जना थिए ।
And he inspects them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ आएका दूतहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले याबेश-गिलादका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन, 'भोलि यति बेला मध्यन्हसम्ममा, तिमीहरूको छुट्टकारा हुनेछ,’ ।” त्यसैले दूतहरू गए र याबेश-गिलादका मानिसहरूलाई भने, र तिनीहरू खुसी भए ।
And they say to the messengers who are coming, “Thus you say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: Tomorrow you have safety—by the heat of the sun”; and the messengers come and declare [it] to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice;
10 तब याबेशका मानिसहरूले नाहाशलाई भने, “भोलि हामी तपाईंकहाँ आत्मासमर्पण गर्नेछौं, र तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो हामीमाथि गर्नुहोस् ।”
and the men of Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], “Tomorrow we come out to you, and you have done to us according to all that [is] good in your eyes.”
11 भोलिपल्ट शाऊलले मानिसहरूलाई तिन समूहमा विभाजन गरे । बिहानको पहरमा तिनीहरू छाउनी बिचमा आए र तिनीहरूले आक्रमण गरे र मध्यन्हसम्ममा अम्मोनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । ती जीवित रहेकाहरू सबै यसरी छरपष्ट भए, कि तिनीहरू कोही पनि दुई जना सँगै रहेनन् ।
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that Saul puts the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst of the camp in the morning-watch, and strike Ammon until the heat of the day; and it comes to pass that those left are scattered, and there have not been left two of them together.
12 तब मानिसहरूले शमूएललाई भने, “ती को थिए जसले यसो भने 'के शाऊलले हामीमाथि राज्य गर्नेछ र?’ ती मानिसहरूलाई ल्याउनुहोस्, ताकि हामीले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नेछौं ।”
And the people say to Samuel, “Who is he that says, Saul reigns over us? Give up the men, and we put them to death.”
13 तर शाऊलले भने, “आजको दिन कसैलाई मारिनेछैन, किनभने परमप्रभुले आज इस्राएललाई छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ ।”
And Saul says, “There is no man put to death on this day, for today YHWH has worked salvation in Israel.”
14 त्यसपछि शमूएलले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “आओ, हामी गिलगामा जानेछौं र त्यहाँ राजसत्ताप्रति फेरि भक्ति जानउनेछौं ।”
And Samuel says to the people, “Come and we go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there”;
15 त्यसैले सबै मानिसहरू गिलगालमा गए र गिलगामा परमप्रभुको सामु शाऊललाई राजा बनाए । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको सामु मेलबलिहरू चढाए, र शाऊल र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू धेरै आनन्दित भए ।
and all the people go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign there before YHWH in Gilgal, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings there before YHWH, and Saul rejoices there—and all the men of Israel—very greatly.
