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 ।
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David; but Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David.
2 त्यसैले जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “मेरा बुबा शाऊलले तपाईंलाई मार्न खोज्दैछन् । यसकारण बिहान सजग हुनुहोस् र आफूलाई कुनै गोप्य ठाउँमा लुकाउनुहोस् ।
And Jonathan told David, saying: 'Saul my father seeketh to slay thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself.
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 ।”
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will speak with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.'
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 ।
And Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his work hath been very good towards thee;
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?
for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?'
6 शाऊलले जोनाथनको कुरा सुने । शाऊलले शपथ खाए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिनलाई मारिनेछैन ।”
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore: 'As the LORD liveth, he shall not 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 ।
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
8 फेरि पनि युद्ध भयो र दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न गए र ठुलो संहारका साथ तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । उनीहरू तिनको सामुबाट भागे ।
And there was war again; and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9 शाऊलमाथि आफ्नो हातमा भाला लिएर आफ्नो घरमा बसेको र ऊदले आफ्नो सङ्गीतको साधन बजाइरहेका बेलामा परमप्रभुको हानिकारक आत्मा तिनीमाथि आयो ।
And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भालाले भित्तामा नै छेडिदिन खोजे, तर तिनी शाऊलको उपस्थितिबाट उम्के, ताकि शाऊले भाला भित्तामा रोपे । दाऊद त्यस रात भागे र बाँचे ।
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall; and David fled, and escaped that 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 ।”
And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying: 'If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.'
12 त्यसैले मीकलले दाऊदलाई झ्यालबाट तल झारिन् । तिनी गए र भागे र बाँचे ।
So Michal let David down through the window; and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 मीकलले घरानाको मूर्ती लिइन् र त्यसलाई ओछ्यानमा राखिन् । तिनले यसको शिरमा बाख्राको रौं राखिन् र त्यसलाई लुगाले छोपिन् ।
And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered it with a cloth.
14 जब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई ल्याउन दूतहरू पठाए, तब तिनले भनिन्, “तिनी बिरामी छन् ।”
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said: 'He is sick.'
15 तब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई हेर्न दूतहरू पठाए । उनले भने, “त्यसलाई ओछ्यामा नै मकहाँ ल्याऊ, ताकि म त्यसलाई मार्नेछु ।”
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying: 'Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.'
16 जब दूतहरू हेर्नलाई आए, हेर, शिरमा बाख्राको रौंको सिरानी बनाएको घरानाको मूर्ती ओछ्यानमा थियो ।
And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof.
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?'”
And Saul said unto Michal: 'Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped?' And Michal answered Saul: 'He said unto me: Let me go; why should I kill thee?'
18 अब दाऊद भागे र बाँचे, र रामामा शमूएलकहाँ गए र शाऊलले तिनलाई गरेका सबै कुरा उनलाई सुनाए । त्यसपछि तिनी र शमूएल नैयोतमा बसे ।
Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 शाऊललाई यसो भनेर खबर गरियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, दाऊद रामाको नैयोतमा छन् ।”
And it was told Saul, saying: 'Behold, David is 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 ।
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
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 ।
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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 ।”
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great cistern that is in Secu; and he asked and said: 'Where are Samuel and David?' And one said: 'Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.'
23 शाऊल रामाको नैयोतमा गए । तब परमेश्वरको आत्मा उनीमाथि आउनुभयो र जसै उनी जाँदै थिए, उनी रामाको नैयोतमा नपुगेसम्म नै उनले अगमवाणी गरे ।
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah; and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
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?”
And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
