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 they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
2 शाऊल र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू भेला भए र एलाहको मैदानमा छाउनी हाले र पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न पङ्तीबद्ध भए ।
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in 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 ।
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the 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 ।
There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
5 उसले आफ्नो शिरमा काँसाको टोप लगाएको थियो, त्यो झिलमले सुसज्जित थियो । उसको काँसाको झिलमको तौल साठी किलो थियो ।
And he had a helmet on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
6 उसको खुट्टामा काँसाको झिलम थियो र त्यसको कुमहरूको बिचमा भाला थियो ।
And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over 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 ।
Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of 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 ।
He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, 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 is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will 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 ।”
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 Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
13 यिशैका तिन जना ठुला छोराहरू युद्धमा शाऊलको पछि लागेका थिए । तिन छोराहरूका नाउँहरू जेठा एलीआब, माहिला अबीनादाब र साहिंला शम्मा थिए ।
The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
14 दाऊदचाहिं कान्छा थिए । तिन जना दाजुहरू शाऊलको पछि लागे ।
David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 अहिले दाऊद बेथलेहेममा भएका भेडाहरूलाई चराउनको निम्ति र शाऊलका फौज बिच आउने र जाने गर्थे ।
Now David went back and forth 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 ।
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 ।
Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to 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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
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 ।
So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
21 इस्राएल र पलिश्तीहरू युद्धको निम्ति फौजको विरुद्ध फौज पङ्तिबद्ध भए ।
And Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, army against army.
22 सामानहरू राख्नेको जिम्मामा दाऊदले आफ्ना सामानहरू छोडे, फौजहरूतिर दौडे, र आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई ढोग गरे ।
And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted 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 ।
As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks 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 ।
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
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 ।”
The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. 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 exempt 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?”
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace 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 ।”
The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who 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 ।”
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
29 दाऊदले भने, “मैले अहिले के गरेको छु? के यो एउटा प्रश्न मात्र थिएन?”
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 ।
Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
31 जब सिपाहीहरूले दाऊदले भनेका कुराहरू सुने, तब तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा शाऊललाई बताए र तिनले दाऊदलाई लिन पठाए ।
When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated 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 ।”
David said to Saul, "Let not my lord'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 ।”
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,
David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, 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 ।
I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed 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 struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since 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 ।”
The LORD who 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." Saul said to David, "Go; and the LORD shall be with you."
38 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नो पोशाक लगाइदिए । तिनले उनको शिरमा काँसाको टोप लगाइदिए । तिनले उनलाई झिलम पहिर्याइदिए ।
And he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
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 strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took 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 ।
Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.
41 त्यो पलिश्ति आयो र दाऊदको नजिक गयो । उसको हतियार बोक्ने उसको अगि थियो ।
So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of 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 ।
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
43 तब त्यो पलिश्तीले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “के म कुकुर हो र तँ लट्टी लिएर आइस्?,” र पलिश्तीले आफ्नो देवताहरूको नाउँमा सराप्यो ।
The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." 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 ।”
The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals 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 David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: 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,
Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals 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 that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hand."
48 जब त्यो पलिश्ती उठ्यो र दाऊदको नजिक जान लाग्यो, तब उसलाई भेट्न दाऊद छिटो दौडेर शत्रुका फौजतिर गए ।
It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, 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 ।
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
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 struck the Philistine, and killed 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 ।
Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that 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 ।
The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. 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 ।
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 दाऊदले त्यो पलिश्तीको शिर लिए र त्यो यरूशलेममा ल्याए, तर उसको हतियारचाहिं तिनले आफ्नो पालमा राखे ।
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 ।”
When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
56 राजाले भने, “त्यो केटा कसका छोरा हुन् चिन्नेहरूलाई सोध ।”
The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
57 जब त्यो पलिश्तीलाई मारेर दाऊद फर्के, अबनेरले तिनलाई लगे, र तिनको हातमा त्यो पलिश्तीको शिरसँगै तिनलाई शाऊलको सामु ल्याए ।
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 ।”
Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
