< १ शमूएल 14 >
1 एक दिन शाऊलका जोनाथनले आफ्नो हतियार बोक्ने जवानलाई भने, “आऊ, हामी पल्लोपट्टि भएको पलिश्तीहरूको चौकीमा जाऔं ।” तर तिनले आफ्नो बुबालाई चाहिं भनेनन् ।
Now it fell upon a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on yonder side. But he did not tell his father.
2 शऊलचाहिं मोग्रोनमा भएको अनारको बोटमुनि गिबाको छेउमा बसिरहेको थियो । तिनीसँग झण्डै छ सय मानिस थिए,
And Saul abode in the outermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
3 एपोद लगाउने शीलोमा परमप्रभुको पुजारी एलीका पनाति, पीनहासका नाति, अहीतूबका छोरा (ईकाबोदका भाइ) अहियाहसहित । जोनाथान गएको थिए भन्ने कुरा मानिसहरूलाई थाहा थिएन ।
and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.
4 पलिश्तीहरूको चौकीमा पुग्नलाई जोनाथनले जान चाहेका घाटीको एकापट्टि एउटा पत्थरको पहरो थियो भने, अर्कोपट्टि अर्को पत्थरको पहरो थियो । एउटा पत्थरको पहरोलाई बोसेस र अर्को पत्थरको पहरोलाई सेनेह भनिन्थ्यो ।
And between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
5 पत्थरको एउटा पहरो उत्तरमा मिकमाशको सामुन्ने र अर्को दक्षिणमा गेबाको सामुन्ने थियो ।
The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
6 जोनाथनले आफ्नो हतियार बोक्ने जवानलाई भने, “आऊ, यी बेखतनाहरूका चौकीमा पारि जाऔं । सायद परमप्रभुले हाम्रो पक्षमा काम गर्न सक्नुहुनेछ, किनकि धेरै वा थोरै जनाबाट बचाउन परमप्रभुलाई कुनै कुराले रोक्न सक्दैन ।”
And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Jehovah will work for us, for there is no limitation to Jehovah to save by many or by few.
7 तिनका हतियार बोक्नेले जवाफ दिए, “आफ्नो मनमा जे लागेको छ सो गर्नुहोस् । अगि बढ्नुहोस्, हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न म तपाईंको साथमा छु ।”
And his armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart. Turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
8 तब जोनाथनले भने, “हामी ती मानिसकहाँ पारि जानेछौं र हामी आफै तिनीहरकहाँ देखा पर्नेछौं ।
Then Jonathan said, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will disclose ourselves to them.
9 तिनीहरूले भन्छन्, ‘तिमीहरूकहाँ हामी नआएसम्म त्यहीं पर्ख,' भने— हामी आफ्नै ठाउँमा बस्नेछौं र हामी तिनीहरूकहाँ पारि जानेछैनौं ।
If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
10 तर तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिन्छन्, 'हामीकहाँ वारि आओ' भने, हामी पारि तर्नेछौं । किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई हाम्रो हातमा दिनुभएको छ । यो हाम्रो निम्ति चिन्ह हुनेछ ।”
But if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up, for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand, and this shall be the sign to us.
11 त्यसैले तिनीहरू दुवैले आफूलाई पलिश्तीहरूको चौकीमा प्रकट गरे । पलिश्तीहरूले भने, “हेर, हिब्रूहरू आफू लुकेका प्वालहरूबाट निस्किरहेका छन् ।”
And both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
12 तब चौकीका मानिसहरूले जोनाथन र तिनको हतियार बोक्नेलाई बोलाए र भने, “हामीकहाँ आओ र तिमीहरूलाई हामी केही कुरा देखाउनेछौं ।” जोनाथनले आफ्नो हतियार बोक्नेलाई भने, “मेरो पछि आऊ, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलको हातमा दिनुभएको छ ।”
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me, for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
13 जोनाथन आफ्ना हात र खुट्टा टेकेर चढे र तिनको हतियार बोक्नेले तिनको पछि गए । जोनाथनको सामु पलिश्तीहरू मारिए र तिनको पछाडी तिनको हतियार बोक्नेले कति जनालाई मारे ।
And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer killed them after him.
14 जोनाथन र तिनको हतियार बोक्नेले गरेको पहिलो आक्रमणमा चार रोपनी जतिको क्षेत्रमा झण्डै बिस जना मानिस मारिए ।
And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.
15 छाउनी, मैदान र मानिसहरू माझ त्रास फैलियो । चौकीहरू र लुट्ने टोलीहरू पनि त्रासित भए । पृथ्वी हल्लियो र त्यहाँ ठुलो त्रास छायो ।
And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled. And the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
16 त्यसपछि बेन्यामीनको गिबामा रहेको शाऊलका पहरा बस्नेले देख्यो । पलिश्ती सिपाहीहरूका भीड तितरबितर भइरहेको थियो र तिनीहरू यताउता गरिरहेका थिए ।
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went here and there.
17 तब शाऊलले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “हाम्रो बिचबाट को हराएको छ, गनेर हेर ।” जब तिनीहरूले गन्ती गरे, जोनाथन र तिनको हतियार बोक्ने हराएको थाहा भयो ।
Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Number now, and see who has gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
18 शाऊलले अहियाहलाई भने, “परमेश्वरको सन्दुक यहाँ ल्याऊ,” किनकि त्यस बेला यो इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसँग थियो ।
And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was there at that time with the sons of Israel.
19 शाऊल पुजारीसँग बोलिरहँदा पलिश्तीहरूको छाउनीको हल्ला झन् बढ्दै थियो । तब शाऊलले पुजारीलाई भने, “तिम्रो हात झिक ।”
And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased. And Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
20 शाऊल र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसहरू भेला भए र लडाइँ गर्न गए । हरेक पलिश्तीले आ-आफ्नो साथीलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरिरहेको थियो र त्यहाँ ठुलो अन्योलता थियो ।
And Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle. And, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
21 अब पहिले पलिश्तीहरूसँग रहेका ती हिब्रूहरू जो तिनीहरूका छाउनीमा गएका थिए, तिनीहरू पनि इस्राएलीहरू, शाऊल र जोनाथनकहाँ आए ।
Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as formerly, and who went up with them into the camp, from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 जब एफ्राइम नजिकको पहाडतिर लुकेका इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले पलिश्तीहरू भागिरहेका छन् भनी सुने, तब तिनीहरूले पनि उनीहरूलाई युद्धमा खेदे ।
Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed close after them in the battle.
23 यसरी परमप्रभुले त्यस दिन इस्राएललाई छुटकाटा दिनुभयो र युद्ध बेथ-अवन पारिसम्म नै फैलियो ।
So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.
24 त्यस दिन इस्राएलका मानिसहरू व्याकुल भएका थिए किनभने, “साँझसम्म र मैले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूमाथि बद्ला नलिएसम्म खाना खाने कुनै पनि मानिस श्रापित होस्” भनेर शाऊलले मानिसहरूलाई शपथ खान लगाएका थिए । त्यसैले फौजका कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले खाना चाखेका थिएनन् ।
And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.
25 त्यसपछि सबै मानिसहरू जङ्गभित्र पसे र त्यहाँ जमिनमा मह थियो ।
And all the people came into the forest, and there was honey upon the ground.
26 जब मानिसहरू जङ्गलभित्र पसे, तब मह बग्न थाल्यो, तर कसैले पनि महमा हात लगाएन, किनभने मानिसहरू शपथदेखि डराएका थिए ।
And when the people came to the forest, behold, the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
27 तर जोनाथनले आफ्ना बुबाले मानिसहरूलाई शपथ खान लगाएको कुरा सुनेका थिएनन् । तिनले आफ्नो हातमा भएको लट्ठी पसारे र यसले महको चाकामा घोचे । तिनले आफ्नो हात आफ्नो मुखमा लगे र तिनका आँखामा तेज आयो ।
But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath, therefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
28 तब मानिसहरूमध्ये एक जनाले भने, “तपाईंको बुबाले 'आजको दिन खाना खाने मानिस श्रापित होस्' भनी मानिसहरूलाई कडा शपथ खान लगाउनुभयो, यद्यपि मानिसहरू भोकले कमजोर भएका छन् ।
Then one of the people answered, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day, and the people were faint.
29 तब जोनाथनल भने, “मेरो बुबाले देशलाई कष्ट दिनुभएको छ । हेर, मैले यो थोरै मह चाखेर मेरा आँखाहरू कति तेजिला भएका छन् ।
Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
30 मानिसहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूको लूटबाट स्वतन्त्र भएर खाएका भए कति धेरै राम्रो हुन्थ्यो? किनभने अहिले पालिश्तीहरूका माझमा ठुलो संहार भएको छैन ।”
How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.
31 तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन पलिश्तीहरूलाई मिकमाशदेखि अय्यालोनसम्म आक्रमण गरे । मानिसहरू धेरै थकित भए ।
And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint,
32 मानिसहरू लूटहरूमा लोभ गरेर झुम्मिए, अनि भेडाहरू, गोरुहरू र पाठाहरू लिए र तिनलाई जमिनमा मारे । मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई रगतसँगै खाए ।
and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and killed them on the ground. And the people ate them with the blood.
33 तब तिनीहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मानिसहरूले रगतसँगै खाएर परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरिरहेका छन् ।” शाऊलले भने, “तिमीहरूले अविश्वसी कसिमले काम गरेका छौ । अब यहाँ मकहाँ एउटा ठुलो ढुङ्गा ल्याओ ।”
Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, ye have dealt treacherously. Roll a great stone to me this day.
34 शाऊलले भने, “मानिसहरूको बिचमा जाओ र तिनीहरूलाई भन, 'हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्नो गोरु र भेडहरू यहाँ ल्याओस् र मारोस् र खाओस् । रगतसँगै खाएर परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप नगर' ।” त्यसैले हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्ना गोरु आफूसँग ल्याए र यसलाई त्यहाँ मारे ।
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat. And sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
35 शाऊलले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी वनाए, जुन तिनले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बनाएका पहिको वेदी थियो ।
And Saul built an altar to Jehovah; the same was the first altar that he built to Jehovah.
36 तब शाऊलले भने, “पलिश्तीहरूलाई राती गएर पिछा गरौं र बिहानसम्ममा तिनीहरूलाई लूटौं । तिनीहरूलाई एउटै पनि जीवित नछोडौं ।” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर्नुहोस् ।” तर पुजारी भने, “यहाँ परमेश्वरकहाँ जाऔं ।”
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to thee. Then the priest said, Let us draw near here to God.
37 शाऊलले परमेश्वरलाई सोधे, “के म पलिश्तीहरूको पिछा गरौं? के तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलको हातमा सुम्पनुहुने छ?” तर परमेश्वरले त्यस दिन तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.
38 तब शाऊलले भने, “मानिसहरूका सबै अगुवाहरू यहाँ आओ । आज यो पाप कसरी गरियो सिक र हेर ।
And Saul said, Draw near here, all ye chiefs of the people, and know and see how this sin has been this day.
39 किनकि जसरी इस्राएललाई छुटकारा दिनुहुने परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, यो मेरो छोरा जोनाथन नै भए पनि निश्चय नै मर्नेछ ।” तर सबै मानिसमध्येका कुनैले पनि तिनलाई जवाफ दिएन ।
For, as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
40 तब तिनले सबै इस्राएललाई भने, “तिमीहरू एकपट्टि खडा हुनुपर्छ, अनि म र मेरो छोरा जोनाथन अर्कोपट्टि खडा हुनेछौं ।” मानिसहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर्नुहोस् ।”
Then he said to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to thee.
41 शाऊलले भने, “हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, यो पाप म वा मेरो छोरा जोनाथनले गरेको हो भने, हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर मलाई ऊरीम दिनुहोस् । तर यो पाप तपाईंका मानिस इस्राएलले गरेका हुन् भने तुम्मीम दिनुहोस् ।” अनि चिट्ठाले जोनाथन र शाऊललाई पार्यो, तर फौजलाई अलग गर्यौ ।
Therefore Saul said to Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, but the people escaped.
42 त्यसपछि शाउलले भने, “म र मेरो छोरा जोनाथनको बिचमा चिट्ठा हाल ।” अनि चिट्टाले जोनाथनलाई छान्यो ।
And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
43 शाऊलले जोनाथनलाई भने, “तिमीले के गरेका छौ मलाई भन ।” जोनाथनले तिनले भने, “मैले मेरो हातमा भएको लट्ठीको टुप्पोले थोरै मह चाखें । म यहाँ छु । म मर्नेछु ।”
Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou have done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. And, lo, I must die.
44 शाऊलले भने, “ए जोनाथन, तिमी मरेनौ भने, परमेश्वरले मलाई त्यसै वा त्योभन्दा बढी गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
And Saul said, God do so and more also, for thou shall surely die, Jonathan.
45 तब मानिसहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “इस्राएलको निम्ति यत्रो विजय ल्याउने जोनाथन मर्नुपर्छ? यस्तो हुँदै नहोस्! परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं, तिनको शिरबाट एउटा कपाल पनि झर्नेछैन, किनकि आज तिनले परमेश्वरसँग काम गरेका छन् ।” यसरी मानिसहरूले जोनाथनको उद्धार गरे ताकि तिनी मरेनन् ।
And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he did not die.
46 त्यसपछि शाऊलले पलिश्तीहरूको पिछा गर्न छोडे र पलिश्तीहरू आ-आफ्ना घरमा गए ।
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.
47 जब शाऊलले इस्राएलमाथि राज्य गर्न सुरु गरे, तब तिनले सबैतिरका आफ्ना शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे । तिनले मोआब, अम्मोनीहरू, एदोम, सोबका राजाहरू र पलिश्तीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे । तिनी जता फर्किए, त्यतै तिनले उनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिए ।
Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he put them to the worse.
48 तिनले ठुलो साहसले काम गरे र अमालेकीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । तिनले इस्राएललाई लुट्नेहरूको हातबाट छुटकारा दिए ।
And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them.
49 शाऊलका छोराहरू जोनाथन, यिश्वी र मल्कीशूअ थिए । तिनकी जेठी छोरीहरूको नाउँ मेराब र कान्छीको नाउँ मिकल थियो ।
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
50 शाऊलको पत्नीको नाउँ अहिनोम थियो । तिनी अहीमासकी छोरी थिइन् । तिनको फौजको कप्तानको नाउँ शाऊलका काका नेरका छोरा अबनेर थियो ।
And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
51 कीश शाउलका बुबा थिए । अनि अबनेरका बुबा नेर अबीएलका छोरा थिए ।
And Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
52 शाऊलको जीवनकालभरि नै पलिश्तीहरूसँग कडा युद्ध चलिरह्यो । जब शाऊलले कुनै वीर वा बलियो मानिसलाई देख्थे, तब तिनले उसलाई आफूसँगै राख्थे ।
And there was great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
