< 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 ।
And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim;
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 have been gathered, and encamp by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array to meet the Philistines.
3 पलिश्‍तीहरू पहाडको एकापट्टि र इस्राएल पहाडको अर्कोपट्टि मैदानलाई तिनीहरूका बिचमा पारेर खडा भए ।
And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this side, and the Israelites are standing on the mountain on that side, and the valley [is] between them.
4 गातको गोल्यत नाउँ गरेको एक जना बलियो मानिस पलिश्‍तीहरूको छाउनीबाट आयो, जसको उचाइ तिन मिटर थियो ।
And there goeth out a man of the duellists from the camps of the Philistines, Goliath [is] his name, from Gath; his height [is] 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 a helmet of brass [is] on his head, and [with] a scaled coat of mail he [is] clothed, and the weight of the coat of mail [is] five thousand shekels of brass,
6 उसको खुट्टामा काँसाको झिलम थियो र त्यसको कुमहरूको बिचमा भाला थियो ।
and a frontlet of brass [is] on his feet, and a javelin 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 wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers', and the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going 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 standeth and calleth unto the ranks of Israel, and saith to them, 'Why are ye come out to set in array the battle? [am] not I the Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose for you a man, and let him come down unto 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 have smitten me, then we have been to you for servants; and if I am able for him, and have smitten him, then ye have been to us for servants, and have served us.'
10 त्‍यो पलिश्‍तीले फेरि भन्‍यो, “म इस्राएलको फौजलाई आज चुनौती दिन्छु । मलाई एउटा मानिस देओ, ताकि हामीसँगै लड्न सकौं ।”
And the Philistine saith, 'I have reproached the ranks of Israel this day; give to me a man, and we fight together.'
11 जब शाऊल र सारा इस्राएलले त्‍यो पलिश्‍तीले भनेको कुरा सुने, तिनीहरू निरुत्साहित भए र साह्रै डराए ।
And Saul heareth — and all Israel — these words of the Philistine, and they are broken down 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 ।
And David [is] son of this Ephrathite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, whose name [is] Jesse, and he hath eight sons, and the man in the days of Saul hath become aged among men;
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 eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have gone into battle [are] Eliab the first-born, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 दाऊदचाहिं कान्छा थिए । तिन जना दाजुहरू शाऊलको पछि लागे ।
And David is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone after Saul,
15 अहिले दाऊद बेथलेहेममा भएका भेडाहरूलाई चराउनको निम्ति र शाऊलका फौज बिच आउने र जाने गर्थे ।
and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the flock of his father at Beth-Lehem.
16 चालिस दिनसम्म त्यो बलियो पलिश्‍ती बिहान र साँझ आफूलाई युद्धको निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्न देखा परे ।
And the Philistine draweth nigh, morning and evening, and stationeth 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 saith to David his son, 'Take, I pray thee, to thy brethren, an ephah of this roasted [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
18 साथै यी दस वटा पनीर हजार जनाको कप्‍तानको निम्ति लैजाऊ । तिम्रा दाजुहरू कस्ता छन्, तिनीहरू राम्रै छन् भन्‍ने केही प्रमाण लेऊ ।
and these ten cuttings of the cheese thou dost take in to the head of the thousand, and thy brethren thou dost inspect for welfare, and their pledge dost receive.'
19 तिम्रा दाजुहरू शाऊलसँग र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू एलाहको मैदानमा पलिश्‍तीहरूसँग लडिरहेका छन् ।”
And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [are] 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 riseth early in the morning, and leaveth the flock to a keeper, and lifteth up, and goeth, as Jesse commanded him, and he cometh in to the path, and to the force which is going out unto the rank, and they have shouted for battle;
21 इस्राएल र पलिश्‍तीहरू युद्धको निम्ति फौजको विरुद्ध फौज पङ्तिबद्ध भए ।
and Israel and the Philistines set in array rank to meet rank.
22 सामानहरू राख्‍नेको जिम्मामा दाऊदले आफ्ना सामानहरू छोडे, फौजहरूतिर दौडे, र आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई ढोग गरे ।
And David letteth down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runneth into the rank, and cometh and asketh of his brethren of welfare.
23 तिनी उनीहरूसँग कुरा गरिरहँदा, गोल्यत नाउँ गरेको त्यो बलियो पलिश्‍ती पलिश्‍तीहरूको फौजबाट आयो र पहिलेको जस्तै शब्दहरू भन्‍यो र दाऊदले त्यो सुने ।
And he is speaking with them, and lo, a man of the duellists is coming up, Goliath the Philistine [is] his name, of Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaketh according to those words, and David heareth;
24 जब इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले त्यो मानिसलाई देखे, तिनीहरू त्यसदेखि भागे र साह्रै भयभीत भए ।
and all the men of Israel when they see the man flee from his presence, and are greatly 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 say, 'Have ye seen this man who is coming up? for, to reproach Israel he is coming up, and it hath been — the man who smiteth him, the king doth enrich him with great riches, and his daughter he doth give to him, and his father's house doth make 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 speaketh unto the men who are standing by him, saying, 'What is done to the man who smiteth this Philistine, and hath turned aside reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of the living God?'
27 अनि मानिसहरूले भनिरहेका कुरालाई नै दोहोर्‍याए र तिनलाई भने, “उसलाई मार्नेलाई यसै गरिनेछ ।”
And the people speak to him according to this word, saying, 'Thus it is done to the man who smiteth 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 eldest brother, heareth when he speaketh unto the men, and the anger of Eliab burneth against David, and he saith, 'Why [is] this — thou hast come down! and to whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known thy pride, and the evil of thy heart — for, to see the battle thou hast come down.'
29 दाऊदले भने, “मैले अहिले के गरेको छु? के यो एउटा प्रश्‍न मात्र थिएन?”
And David saith, 'What have I done now? is it not a word?'
30 ऊबाट तिनी अर्कोतिर नै तर्किए र त्यसरी नै कुरा गरे । मानिसहरूले पहिलेको जस्तै गरी उही जवाफ दिए ।
And he turneth round from him unto another, and saith according to this word, and the people return him word as the first word.
31 जब सिपाहीहरूले दाऊदले भनेका कुराहरू सुने, तब तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा शाऊललाई बताए र तिनले दाऊदलाई लिन पठाए ।
And the words which David hath spoken are heard, and they declare before Saul, and he receiveth him;
32 तब दाऊदले शाऊललाई भने, “त्यो पलिश्तीको कारणले कसैको हृदय हतास नहोस् । तपाईंको दास जानेछ र यो पलिश्तीसँग लड्नेछ ।”
and David saith unto Saul, 'Let no man's heart fall because of him, thy servant doth go, and hath fought 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 saith unto David, 'Thou art not able to go unto this Philistine, to fight with him, for a youth thou [art], 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 saith unto Saul, 'A shepherd hath thy servant been to his father among the sheep, and the lion hath come — and the bear — and hath taken away a sheep out of the drove,
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 have gone out after him, and smitten him, and delivered out of his mouth, and he riseth against me, and I have taken hold on his beard, and smitten him, and put him to death.
36 तपाईंको दासले सिंह र भालु दुवै मारेको छ । यो पलिश्ती पनि तिनीहरूमध्ये एउटाझैं हुनेछ, किनभने यसले जीवित परमेश्‍वरको फौजलाई चुनौती दिएको छ ।”
Both the lion and the bear hath thy servant smitten, and this uncircumcised Philistine hath been as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks 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 ।”
And David saith, 'Jehovah, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He doth deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul saith unto David, 'Go, and Jehovah is with thee.'
38 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्‍नो पोशाक लगाइदिए । तिनले उनको शिरमा काँसाको टोप लगाइदिए । तिनले उनलाई झिलम पहिर्‍याइदिए ।
And Saul clotheth David with his long robe, and hath put a helmet of brass on his head, and doth clothe 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 above his long robe, and beginneth to go, for he hath not tried [it]; and David saith unto Saul, 'I am not able to go with these, for I had not tried;' and David turneth them aside from 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 taketh his staff in his hand, and chooseth for him five smooth stones from the brook, and putteth them in the shepherds' habiliments that he hath, even in the scrip, and his sling [is] in his hand, and he draweth nigh unto the Philistine.
41 त्‍यो पलिश्‍ति आयो र दाऊदको नजिक गयो । उसको हतियार बोक्‍ने उसको अगि थियो ।
And the Philistine goeth on, going and drawing near unto David, and the man bearing the buckler [is] 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 the Philistine looketh attentively, and seeth David, and despiseth him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a fair appearance.
43 तब त्‍यो पलिश्‍तीले दाऊदलाई भन्‍यो, “के म कुकुर हो र तँ लट्टी लिएर आइस्?,” र पलिश्‍तीले आफ्‍नो देवताहरूको नाउँमा सराप्‍यो ।
And the Philistine saith unto David, 'Am I a dog that thou art coming unto me with staves?' and the Philistine revileth David by his gods,
44 त्‍यो पलिश्तीले दाऊदलाई भन्‍यो, “मकहाँ आइज, र म तेरो मासु आकाशका चराहरू र जमिनका पशुहरूलाई दिनेछु ।”
and the Philistine saith unto David, 'Come unto me, and I give thy flesh to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast 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 ।
And David saith unto the Philistine, 'Thou art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am coming unto thee in the name of Jehovah of Hosts, God of the ranks of Israel, which thou hast reproached.
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 doth Jehovah shut thee up into my hand — and I have smitten thee, and turned aside thy head from off thee, and given the carcase of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all the earth do know that God is for 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 do know that not by sword and by spear doth Jehovah save, that the battle [is] Jehovah's, and He hath given you into our hand.'
48 जब त्‍यो पलिश्ती उठ्‍यो र दाऊदको नजिक जान लाग्‍यो, तब उसलाई भेट्न दाऊद छिटो दौडेर शत्रुका फौजतिर गए ।
And it hath come to pass, that the Philistine hath risen, and goeth, and draweth near to meet David, and David hasteth and runneth to the rank 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 putteth forth his hand unto the vessel, and taketh thence a stone, and slingeth, and smiteth the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinketh into his forehead, and he falleth 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 ।
And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death, and there is 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 ।
and David runneth and standeth over the Philistine, and taketh his sword, and draweth it out of its sheath, and putteth him to death, and cutteth off with it his head; and the Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee.
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 rise — also Judah — and shout, and pursue the Philistines till thou enter the valley, and unto the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron,
53 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेदेर फर्के र तिनीहरूले उनीहरूको छाउनी लूटे ।
and the sons of Israel turn back from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.
54 दाऊदले त्‍यो पलिश्तीको शिर लिए र त्‍यो यरूशलेममा ल्याए, तर उसको हतियारचाहिं तिनले आफ्नो पालमा राखे ।
And David taketh the head of the Philistine, and bringeth it in to Jerusalem, and his weapons he hath put in his own 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 seeth David going out to meet the Philistine, he hath said unto Abner, head of the host, 'Whose son [is] this — the youth, Abner?' and Abner saith, 'Thy soul liveth, O king, I have not known.'
56 राजाले भने, “त्यो केटा कसका छोरा हुन् चिन्‍नेहरूलाई सोध ।”
And the king saith, 'Ask thou whose son this [is] — the young man.'
57 जब त्‍यो पलिश्‍तीलाई मारेर दाऊद फर्के, अबनेरले तिनलाई लगे, र तिनको हातमा त्‍यो पलिश्तीको शिरसँगै तिनलाई शाऊलको सामु ल्याए ।
And when David turneth back from smiting the Philistine, then Abner taketh him and bringeth him in before Saul, and 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 saith unto him, 'Whose son [art] thou, O youth?' and David saith, 'Son of thy servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.'
