< १ शमूएल 17 >
1 यति बेला पलिश्तीहरूले युद्धको निम्ति आफ्ना फौजहरू भेला गरे । तिनीहरू सोकोमा भेला भए जुन यहूदाको क्षेत्र हो । तिनीहरूले सोको र आजेकाको बिचमा एपेस-दम्मीममा छाउनी हाले ।
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongs to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
2 शाऊल र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू भेला भए र एलाहको मैदानमा छाउनी हाले र पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न पङ्तीबद्ध भए ।
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 पलिश्तीहरू पहाडको एकापट्टि र इस्राएल पहाडको अर्कोपट्टि मैदानलाई तिनीहरूका बिचमा पारेर खडा भए ।
And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 गातको गोल्यत नाउँ गरेको एक जना बलियो मानिस पलिश्तीहरूको छाउनीबाट आयो, जसको उचाइ तिन मिटर थियो ।
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 उसले आफ्नो शिरमा काँसाको टोप लगाएको थियो, त्यो झिलमले सुसज्जित थियो । उसको काँसाको झिलमको तौल साठी किलो थियो ।
And he had an helmet of brass on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 उसको खुट्टामा काँसाको झिलम थियो र त्यसको कुमहरूको बिचमा भाला थियो ।
And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
7 उसको भालाको डण्डा कपडा बुन्ने जुलाहको थुरीजस्तै ठुलो थियो । उसको भालाको टुप्पो सात किलो फलामको थियो । उसको ढाल बोक्ने त्यसको अगि-अगि गयो ।
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
8 ऊ खडा भयो र इस्राएलको फौजतिर चिच्याए, “तिमीहरू लडाइँको निम्ति पङ्तीबद्ध हुन किन आएका छौ? के म एक जना पलिश्ती होइन र तिमीहरू शाऊलको सेवकहरू होइनौ र? आफ्नो निम्ति एक जना मानिसलाई चुन र ऊ मकहाँ तल आओस् ।
And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9 मसँग लडेर उसले मलाई जित्यो भने, हामी तिमीहरूका सेवकहरू हुनेछौं । तर मैले त्यसलाई हराएँ भने, तिमीहरू हाम्रो सेवकहरू हुनेछौ र हाम्रो सेवा गर्नेछौ ।”
If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall you be our servants, and serve us.
10 त्यो पलिश्तीले फेरि भन्यो, “म इस्राएलको फौजलाई आज चुनौती दिन्छु । मलाई एउटा मानिस देओ, ताकि हामीसँगै लड्न सकौं ।”
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 जब शाऊल र सारा इस्राएलले त्यो पलिश्तीले भनेको कुरा सुने, तिनीहरू निरुत्साहित भए र साह्रै डराए ।
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 दाऊदचाहिं यहूदाका बेथलेहेमको एप्रातीका छोरा थिए जसको नाम यिशै थियो । तिनका आठ भाइ छोरा थिए । शाऊलको समयमा यिशै बृद्ध मानिस, मानिसहरू माझ धेरै वृद्ध थिए ।
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
13 यिशैका तिन जना ठुला छोराहरू युद्धमा शाऊलको पछि लागेका थिए । तिन छोराहरूका नाउँहरू जेठा एलीआब, माहिला अबीनादाब र साहिंला शम्मा थिए ।
And the three oldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 दाऊदचाहिं कान्छा थिए । तिन जना दाजुहरू शाऊलको पछि लागे ।
And David was the youngest: and the three oldest followed Saul.
15 अहिले दाऊद बेथलेहेममा भएका भेडाहरूलाई चराउनको निम्ति र शाऊलका फौज बिच आउने र जाने गर्थे ।
But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
16 चालिस दिनसम्म त्यो बलियो पलिश्ती बिहान र साँझ आफूलाई युद्धको निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्न देखा परे ।
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 तब यिशैले तिनका छोरा दाऊदलाई भने, “यो भुटेको अन्न र दस वटा रोटी लेऊ र तिनीहरूलाई तिम्रा दाजुहरूका निम्ति छाउनीमा चाँडो बोकेर लैजाऊ ।
And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of your brothers;
18 साथै यी दस वटा पनीर हजार जनाको कप्तानको निम्ति लैजाऊ । तिम्रा दाजुहरू कस्ता छन्, तिनीहरू राम्रै छन् भन्ने केही प्रमाण लेऊ ।
And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and look how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
19 तिम्रा दाजुहरू शाऊलसँग र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू एलाहको मैदानमा पलिश्तीहरूसँग लडिरहेका छन् ।”
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 दाऊद बिहान सबेरै उठे र भेडाहरू गोठालाहरूको हातमा हेरचाहमा छोडे । तिनले खाद्यन्नहरू लिए र यिशैले तिनलाई आज्ञा गरेझैं गए । तिनी फौजहरू युद्ध-ध्वनिका साथ युद्ध मैदानमा जाँदै गर्दा छाउनीमा आए ।
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 इस्राएल र पलिश्तीहरू युद्धको निम्ति फौजको विरुद्ध फौज पङ्तिबद्ध भए ।
For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
22 सामानहरू राख्नेको जिम्मामा दाऊदले आफ्ना सामानहरू छोडे, फौजहरूतिर दौडे, र आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई ढोग गरे ।
And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brothers.
23 तिनी उनीहरूसँग कुरा गरिरहँदा, गोल्यत नाउँ गरेको त्यो बलियो पलिश्ती पलिश्तीहरूको फौजबाट आयो र पहिलेको जस्तै शब्दहरू भन्यो र दाऊदले त्यो सुने ।
And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 जब इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले त्यो मानिसलाई देखे, तिनीहरू त्यसदेखि भागे र साह्रै भयभीत भए ।
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले भने, “के माथि आएको यो मानिसलाई तपाईंले देख्नुभएको छ? ऊ इस्राएललाई चुनौती दिन आएको छ । उसलाई मार्नेलाई राजाले धेरै सम्पत्ति दिनेछन्, तिनले तिनलाई आफ्नो छोरी विवाह गर्न दिनेछन् र इस्राएलमा तिनको बुबाको घरानालाई करबाट मुक्त गर्नेछन् ।”
And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
26 दाऊदले आफ्नो छेउमा उभिएका मानिसहरूलाई सोधे, “यो पलिश्तीलाई मार्ने र इस्राएलबाट निन्दा दुर गर्नेलाई के गरिनेछ? जीवित परमेश्वरको फौजलाई धम्की दिने यो बेखतनाको पलिश्ती को हो?”
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 अनि मानिसहरूले भनिरहेका कुरालाई नै दोहोर्याए र तिनलाई भने, “उसलाई मार्नेलाई यसै गरिनेछ ।”
And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that kills him.
28 तिनले मानिसहरूसँग कुरा गर्दा तिनका जेठा दाजु एलीआबले सुने । एलीआबको रिस दाऊदमाथि दन्कियो, र तिनले भने, “तँ यहाँ किन आइस्? उजाड-स्थानमा भएका ती थोरै भेडाहरूलाई कसको साथमा छोडिस्? तेरो घमण्ड र तेरो हृदयको कुटिलता मलाई थाहा छ । किनकि युद्ध हेर्न भनेर तँ यहाँ तल आएको होस् ।”
And Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why came you down here? and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you are come down that you might see the battle.
29 दाऊदले भने, “मैले अहिले के गरेको छु? के यो एउटा प्रश्न मात्र थिएन?”
And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30 ऊबाट तिनी अर्कोतिर नै तर्किए र त्यसरी नै कुरा गरे । मानिसहरूले पहिलेको जस्तै गरी उही जवाफ दिए ।
And he turned from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 जब सिपाहीहरूले दाऊदले भनेका कुराहरू सुने, तब तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा शाऊललाई बताए र तिनले दाऊदलाई लिन पठाए ।
And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
32 तब दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “त्यो पलिश्तीको कारणले कसैको हृदय हतास नहोस् । तपाईंको दास जानेछ र यो पलिश्तीसँग लड्नेछ ।”
And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “तिमी यो पलिश्तीको विरुद्धमा लाड्न जान सक्षम छैनौ । किनभने तिमी भर्खरको केटा मात्र हौ र ऊ आफ्नो जवानीदेखि नै युद्धमा छ ।”
And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 तर दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “तपाईंको दासले आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाहरूको हेरचाह गर्ने गर्थ्यो । जब सिंह वा भालु आएर भेडालाई बगालबाट लान्थ्यो,
And David said to Saul, Your servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 म त्यसलाई लखेट्थें र त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्थें र त्यसको मुखबाट यसलाई छुटकारा दिन्थें । जब त्यो मेरो विरुद्ध आइलाग्थ्यो, मैले त्यसको दाह्रीमा समातेर त्यसलाई प्रहार गर्थें र मार्थें ।
And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 तपाईंको दासले सिंह र भालु दुवै मारेको छ । यो पलिश्ती पनि तिनीहरूमध्ये एउटाझैं हुनेछ, किनभने यसले जीवित परमेश्वरको फौजलाई चुनौती दिएको छ ।”
Your servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.
37 दाऊदले भने, “परमप्रभुले मलाई सिंह र भालुको पञ्जाबाट बचाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले नै यो पलिश्तीको हातबाट पनि मलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।” त्यसपछि शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “जाऊ, र परमप्रभु तिमीसँग हुनुभएको होस् ।”
David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the LORD be with you.
38 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नो पोशाक लगाइदिए । तिनले उनको शिरमा काँसाको टोप लगाइदिए । तिनले उनलाई झिलम पहिर्याइदिए ।
And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass on his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39 दाऊदले तिनको तरवार तिनको झिलममाथि भिरे । तर उनी हिंड्न सकेनन्, किनभने ती लगाएर हिंड्ने तालिम तिनलाई थिएन । अनि दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “यि लगाएर म लड्न जान सक्दिनँ, किनभने यी लगाएर हिंड्ने तालिम मैले लिएको छैन ।” त्यसैले दाऊदले ती फुकाले ।
And David girded his sword on his armor, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
40 तिनले आफ्नो लट्ठी हातमा लिए र खोलाबाट पाँच वटा चिल्लो ढुङ्गा छाने । तिनले ती आफ्नो गोठालोको झोलामा हाले । त्यो पलिश्तीसँग भिड्न जाँदा तिनको हातमा घुयेंत्रो थियो ।
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a money; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 त्यो पलिश्ति आयो र दाऊदको नजिक गयो । उसको हतियार बोक्ने उसको अगि थियो ।
And the Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
42 जब त्यो पलिश्तीले अघि हेर्यो र दाऊदलाई देख्यो, तब उसले तिनलाई तुच्छ ठान्यो, किनकि तिनी राता गाला भएका सुन्दर स्वरूपका एउटा सानो केटा मात्र थिए ।
And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
43 तब त्यो पलिश्तीले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “के म कुकुर हो र तँ लट्टी लिएर आइस्?,” र पलिश्तीले आफ्नो देवताहरूको नाउँमा सराप्यो ।
And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 त्यो पलिश्तीले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “मकहाँ आइज, र म तेरो मासु आकाशका चराहरू र जमिनका पशुहरूलाई दिनेछु ।”
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 दाऊदले त्यो पलिश्तिलाई जवाफ दिए, “तँ त तरवार, भाला र बर्छासित मकहाँ आइस् । तर म त सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, इस्राएलको फौजका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा तँकहाँ आउँछु, जसको तैंले विरोध गरेको छस् ।
Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 आज परमप्रभुले मलाई तँमाथि विजय दिनुहुनेछ र म तँलाई मार्नेछु र तेरो शिरलाई तेरो शरीरबाट अलग गर्नेछु । आज म पलिश्ती फौजको मृत शरीरहरूलाई आकाशको चराहरू र पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरूलाई दिनेछु, ताकि इस्राएलमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भनी सारा पृथ्वीले जान्न सकोस्,
This day will the LORD deliver you into my hand; and I will smite you, and take your head from you; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day to the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 साथै भेला भएका यी सबैले जानून् कि परमप्रभुले तरवार वा भालाले विजन दिनुहुन्न । किनकि युद्ध परमप्रभुको हो र उहाँले नै तँलाई मेरो हातमा दिनुहुनेछ ।
And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands.
48 जब त्यो पलिश्ती उठ्यो र दाऊदको नजिक जान लाग्यो, तब उसलाई भेट्न दाऊद छिटो दौडेर शत्रुका फौजतिर गए ।
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew near to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 दाऊदले आफ्नो झोलामा आफ्नो हात हाले, त्यसबाट एउटा ढुङ्गा लिए, त्यसलाई घुयेंत्रोमा घुमाए र पलिश्तीको निधारमा हिर्काए । त्यो ढुङ्गा उक्त पलिश्तीको निधारमै गाडियो र ऊ घोप्टो परेर जमिनमा ढल्यो ।
And David put his hand in his bag, and took there a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.
50 त्यो पलिश्तीलाई एउटा घुयेंत्र र एउटा ढुङ्गाले दाउदले हराए । तिनले त्यो पलिस्तीलाई हिर्काए र उसलाई मारे । दाऊदको हातमा कुनै तरवार थिएन ।
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 अनि दाऊद दौडेर गए र त्यो पलिश्तीमाथि खडा भए, उसको तरवारलाई त्यसको म्यानबाट झिके, उसलाई मारे र त्यसले उसको शिर काटे । जब पलिश्तीहरूले आफ्नो वीर मानिस मरेको देखे, तब तिनीहरू भागे ।
Therefore David ran, and stood on the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
52 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका र यहूदका मानिसहरू चिच्याहटसँगै उठे पलिश्तीहरूलाई मैदान र एक्रोनको ढोकासम्म लखेटे । पलिश्तीहरूका मृत शरीर शारैम जाने बाटोदेखि गात र एक्रोन जाने बाटोभरि छरिएको थियो ।
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until you come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेदेर फर्के र तिनीहरूले उनीहरूको छाउनी लूटे ।
And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
54 दाऊदले त्यो पलिश्तीको शिर लिए र त्यो यरूशलेममा ल्याए, तर उसको हतियारचाहिं तिनले आफ्नो पालमा राखे ।
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
55 जब दाऊद त्यो पलिश्तीको विरुद्धमा निस्केको शाऊलले देखे, तब तिनले फौजको कप्तान अबनेरलाई भने, “अबनेर, यो जवान केटा कसको छोरा हो?” अबनेरले भने, “हे महाराजा, तपाईं जीवित हुनुभएझैं, मलाई थाहा छैन ।”
And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.
56 राजाले भने, “त्यो केटा कसका छोरा हुन् चिन्नेहरूलाई सोध ।”
And the king said, Inquire you whose son the stripling is.
57 जब त्यो पलिश्तीलाई मारेर दाऊद फर्के, अबनेरले तिनलाई लगे, र तिनको हातमा त्यो पलिश्तीको शिरसँगै तिनलाई शाऊलको सामु ल्याए ।
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 शाऊलले तिनलाई सोधे, “हे जवान मानिस, तिमी कसका छोरा हौ?” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईंको दास बेथलेहेमी यिशैको छोरा हुँ ।”
And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, you young man? And David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
