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 happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.
2 शऊलचाहिं मोग्रोनमा भएको अनारको बोटमुनि गिबाको छेउमा बसिरहेको थियो । तिनीसँग झण्डै छ सय मानिस थिए,
Saul stayed in the uttermost 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 ।
including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t 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 ।
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 ।”
Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh 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 ।”
His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your 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 reveal ourselves to them.
9 तिनीहरूले भन्छन्, ‘तिमीहरूकहाँ हामी नआएसम्म त्यहीं पर्ख,' भने— हामी आफ्नै ठाउँमा बस्नेछौं र हामी तिनीहरूकहाँ पारि जानेछैनौं ।
If they say this to us, ‘Wait 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 this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. 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 ।”
Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden 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 ।”
The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh 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 ।
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on 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 ।
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 ।
There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders 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 ।
The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
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, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
18 शाऊलले अहियाहलाई भने, “परमेश्वरको सन्दुक यहाँ ल्याऊ,” किनकि त्यस बेला यो इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसँग थियो ।
Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
19 शाऊल पुजारीसँग बोलिरहँदा पलिश्तीहरूको छाउनीको हल्ला झन् बढ्दै थियो । तब शाऊलले पुजारीलाई भने, “तिम्रो हात झिक ।”
While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your 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 ।
Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
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 before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, 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 hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
23 यसरी परमप्रभुले त्यस दिन इस्राएललाई छुटकाटा दिनुभयो र युद्ध बेथ-अवन पारिसम्म नै फैलियो ।
So Yahweh 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 ।
The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
25 त्यसपछि सबै मानिसहरू जङ्गभित्र पसे र त्यहाँ जमिनमा मह थियो ।
All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
26 जब मानिसहरू जङ्गलभित्र पसे, तब मह बग्न थाल्यो, तर कसैले पनि महमा हात लगाएन, किनभने मानिसहरू शपथदेखि डराएका थिए ।
When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one 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 didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out 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 brightened.
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, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So 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. Please look how my eyes have brightened 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 perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder 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 ।
They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. 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 pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, 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 are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
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 ।
Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” 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 ।
Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
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 ।”
Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s 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 ।
Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
38 तब शाऊलले भने, “मानिसहरूका सबै अगुवाहरू यहाँ आओ । आज यो पाप कसरी गरियो सिक र हेर ।
Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
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 Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is 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, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
42 त्यसपछि शाउलले भने, “म र मेरो छोरा जोनाथनको बिचमा चिट्ठा हाल ।” अनि चिट्टाले जोनाथनलाई छान्यो ।
Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
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 you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
44 शाऊलले भने, “ए जोनाथन, तिमी मरेनौ भने, परमेश्वरले मलाई त्यसै वा त्योभन्दा बढी गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you 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 ।
The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t 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 children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
48 तिनले ठुलो साहसले काम गरे र अमालेकीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । तिनले इस्राएललाई लुट्नेहरूको हातबाट छुटकारा दिए ।
He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered 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, 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 ।
The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. 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 ।
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 ।
There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
