१ शमूएल 19
1 आफ्ना छोरा जोनाथन र आफ्ना सबै सेवकलाई शाऊलले हुकुम गरे कि तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई मार्नुपर्छ । तर शाऊलका छोरा जोनाथन दाऊदसँग धैरै खुसी थिए ।
Then Saul instructed his son Jonathan and all his officials to kill David. But Jonathan really liked David,
2 त्यसैले जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “मेरा बुबा शाऊलले तपाईंलाई मार्न खोज्दैछन् । यसकारण बिहान सजग हुनुहोस् र आफूलाई कुनै गोप्य ठाउँमा लुकाउनुहोस् ।
so he warned him, “My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning—find a place to hide and stay hidden.
3 म बाहिर जाने छु र तपाईं भएकै ठाउँमा म मेरो बुबाको छेउमा खडा हुनेछु र म मेरो बुबासँग तपाईंको बारेमा कुरा गर्नेछु । मैले कुनै कुरा थाहा पाएँ भने, म तपाईंलाई भन्नेछु ।”
I'll go out with my father and stand in the field near to where you are hiding. I'll talk to him about you and see what I can find out, then I'll let you know.”
4 जोनथानले तिनका बुबा शाऊलसँग दाऊदको बारेमा असल कुरा गरे र उनलाई भने, “राजाले उनका सेवक दाऊदको विरुद्धमा पाप नगर्नुहोस् । किनकि तिनले तपाईंको विरुद्ध पाप गरेका छैनन् र तिनका कामहरूले तपाईंको भलो भएको छ ।
Then Jonathan spoke positively about David to his father Saul, and told him, “The king should not do anything bad to his servant David because he's not done anything bad to you—he has always served you well.
5 किनकि तिनले आफ्नो जीवनलाई खतरामा राखे र त्यो पलिश्ती मारे । परमप्रभुले सारा इस्राएलको निम्ति ठुलो विजय ल्याउनुभयो । तपाईंले त्यो देख्नुभयो र आनन्दित हुनुभयो । तपाईंले दाऊदलाई विनाकारण मारेर निर्दोष रगतको विरुद्ध किन पाप गर्नुहुन्छ?
He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine, and the Lord brought about great salvation for the whole of Israel. You saw it and you were delighted, so why would you sin and spill innocent blood by killing David without having any reason?”
6 शाऊलले जोनाथनको कुरा सुने । शाऊलले शपथ खाए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिनलाई मारिनेछैन ।”
Saul accepted what Jonathan had to say, and promised with an oath: “I swear on the life of the Lord, he won't be put to death.”
7 तब जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई बोलाए र जोनाथनले यी सबै कुरा भने । जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई शाऊलकहाँ ल्याए, र तिनी उनको उपस्थितिमा अगिझैं भए ।
Later Jonathan called David and told him all that had been said. Then he took him to Saul, and David worked for Saul as he had before.
8 फेरि पनि युद्ध भयो र दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न गए र ठुलो संहारका साथ तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । उनीहरू तिनको सामुबाट भागे ।
War broke out once again, and David went to fight the Philistines. He attacked them so forcefully that they ran away in defeat.
9 शाऊलमाथि आफ्नो हातमा भाला लिएर आफ्नो घरमा बसेको र ऊदले आफ्नो सङ्गीतको साधन बजाइरहेका बेलामा परमप्रभुको हानिकारक आत्मा तिनीमाथि आयो ।
A while later an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. As David played the lyre,
10 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भालाले भित्तामा नै छेडिदिन खोजे, तर तिनी शाऊलको उपस्थितिबाट उम्के, ताकि शाऊले भाला भित्तामा रोपे । दाऊद त्यस रात भागे र बाँचे ।
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear. David managed to dodge the spear which embedded itself in the wall. Then David escaped and ran away into the night.
11 शाऊलले दाऊदको घरमा तिनको चेवा गर्न दूतहरू पठाए, ताकि उनले तिनलाई बिहान् मार्न सकून् । दाऊदकी पत्नी मीकलले तिनलाई भनिन्, “तपाईंले आफ्नो जीवन आज राती बचाउनुभएन भने तपाईंलाई भोलि मारिनुहुनेछ ।”
Saul sent some messengers to David's house to keep watch and kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't get away tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed.”
12 त्यसैले मीकलले दाऊदलाई झ्यालबाट तल झारिन् । तिनी गए र भागे र बाँचे ।
Michal lowered David down from a window, and he ran off, managing to escape.
13 मीकलले घरानाको मूर्ती लिइन् र त्यसलाई ओछ्यानमा राखिन् । तिनले यसको शिरमा बाख्राको रौं राखिन् र त्यसलाई लुगाले छोपिन् ।
Then she took a home idol and laid it in the bed, put a goat hair wig on its head, and covered it with bedclothes.
14 जब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई ल्याउन दूतहरू पठाए, तब तिनले भनिन्, “तिनी बिरामी छन् ।”
When Saul sent the messengers to arrest David, Michal told them, “He's sick.”
15 तब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई हेर्न दूतहरू पठाए । उनले भने, “त्यसलाई ओछ्यामा नै मकहाँ ल्याऊ, ताकि म त्यसलाई मार्नेछु ।”
Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, “Bring him to me in the bed so I can kill him.”
16 जब दूतहरू हेर्नलाई आए, हेर, शिरमा बाख्राको रौंको सिरानी बनाएको घरानाको मूर्ती ओछ्यानमा थियो ।
But when the messengers went into the bedroom, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair wig on its head.
17 शाऊलले मीकललाई भने, “तैंले मलाई किन छल गरिस् र मेरो शत्रुलाई जान दिइस्, ताकि ऊ बाँच्यो?” मीकलले शाऊललाई जवाफ दिइन्, “उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'मलाई जान देऊ । मैले तिमीलाई किन मार्नु?'”
“Why did you trick me like this—helping my enemy get away so he could escape?” Saul asked Michal. “He told me, ‘Get out of my way! I don't want to have to kill you!’” Michal replied.
18 अब दाऊद भागे र बाँचे, र रामामा शमूएलकहाँ गए र शाऊलले तिनलाई गरेका सबै कुरा उनलाई सुनाए । त्यसपछि तिनी र शमूएल नैयोतमा बसे ।
This is how David got away and escaped. He went to Samuel at Ramah and explained to him everything that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to stay in Naioth.
19 शाऊललाई यसो भनेर खबर गरियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, दाऊद रामाको नैयोतमा छन् ।”
When Saul got to hear that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20 तब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई समात्न दूतहरू पठाए । अगमवक्ताहरूका समूहले अगमवाणी गरिरहेको र शमूएल तिनीहरूका अगुवाको रूपमा खडा भएका जब तिनीहरूले देखे, तब शाऊलका दूतहरूमाथि पनि परमेश्वरको आत्मा आउनुभयो र तिनीहरूले पनि अगमवाणी गरे ।
he sent messengers to arrest him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel leading out, the Spirit of God came on Saul's messengers and they started prophesying too.
21 जब शाऊललाई यो कुरा भनियो, तब उनले अरू दूतहरूलाई पठाए, र तिनीहरूले पनि अगमवाणी गरे । त्यसैले शाऊलले फेरि पनि तेस्रो पटक दूतहरूलाई पठाए र तिनीहरूले पनि अगमवाणी गरे ।
Saul was told what had happened, so he sent more messengers, and they started prophesying as well.
22 त्यसपछि उनी पनि रामामा गए र सेकूमा भएको गहिरो इनारमा आए । उनले भने, “शमूएल र दाऊद कहाँ छन्?” कसैले भन्यो, “हेर्नुहोस्, तिनीहरू रामाको नैयोतमा छन् ।”
For the third time Saul sent messengers, and they also started prophesying.
23 शाऊल रामाको नैयोतमा गए । तब परमेश्वरको आत्मा उनीमाथि आउनुभयो र जसै उनी जाँदै थिए, उनी रामाको नैयोतमा नपुगेसम्म नै उनले अगमवाणी गरे ।
In the end Saul went himself to Ramah and arrived at the large cistern at Secu. “Where are Samuel and David?” he asked. “At Naioth in Ramah,” someone told him. So Saul went on to Naioth at Ramah, but the Spirit of God even came on him, and he was prophesying as he walked along until he arrived in Naioth.
24 उनले आफ्ना लुगा फुकाले र शमूएलको सामु अगमवाणी गरे । उनी त्यो दिनभरि र रातभरि नाङ्गै बसे । यसैकारण तिनीहरूले भन्छन्, “के शाऊल पनि अगमवक्ताहरूकै माझमा छन्?”
Then Saul also took off his clothes and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. Then he fell down and lay there naked all that day and all that night. That's why it is said, “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
