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 spake Saul unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, that they should put David to death;
2 त्यसैले जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “मेरा बुबा शाऊलले तपाईंलाई मार्न खोज्दैछन् । यसकारण बिहान सजग हुनुहोस् र आफूलाई कुनै गोप्य ठाउँमा लुकाउनुहोस् ।
but, Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted in David, exceedingly, —so Jonathan told David, saying, Saul, my father, is seeking to put thee to death, —now, therefore, take heed to thyself I pray thee, in the morning, and abide thou in concealment, 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 come out and stand beside my father, in the field where, thou, art, and, I, will speak of thee unto my father, —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 ।
So then Jonathan spake of David things that were good, unto Saul his father, —and said unto him—May the king not sin against his servant—against David; for he hath not sinned against, thee, nay, indeed, his doings have been good to theeward exceedingly.
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?
And, when he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Yahweh wrought a great victory for all Israel, thou sawest, and didst rejoice. Wherefore, then, shouldst thou sin against innocent blood by putting David to death, without 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 sware, By the life of Yahweh, 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 for David, and Jonathan told him all these things, —and Jonathan brought in David unto Saul, and so he was in his presence, as aforetime.
8 फेरि पनि युद्ध भयो र दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न गए र ठुलो संहारका साथ तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । उनीहरू तिनको सामुबाट भागे ।
But, when the war again brake out, —and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great smiting, 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 ।
then came there a sad spirit of Yahweh unto Saul, he being in his house, seated, with his spear in his hand, —while, David, played 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 ।
Saul sought to smite David with the spear, even to the wall, but he slipped away from before Saul, who smote the spear into the wall, —whereas, 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 put him to death, in the morning! And Michal his wife told David, saying, If thou do not deliver thyself to-night, to-morrow, art thou to be put to death.
12 त्यसैले मीकलले दाऊदलाई झ्यालबाट तल झारिन् । तिनी गए र भागे र बाँचे ।
So Michal let down David, through the window, and he departed 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 household god, and put it in the bed, and, a fly-net of goat’s-hair, put she at its head, —and covered it with the clothes.
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 ।”
So Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, —Bring him up in the bed unto me, that I may put him to death.
16 जब दूतहरू हेर्नलाई आए, हेर, शिरमा बाख्राको रौंको सिरानी बनाएको घरानाको मूर्ती ओछ्यानमा थियो ।
And, when the messengers entered, lo! the household god in the bed, —with a fly-net of goat’s-hair at 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?'”
And Saul said unto Michal—Wherefore, in this way, hast thou deceived me, and let go mine enemy, that he hath escaped? Then said Michal unto Saul, He, himself, said unto me—Let me go, wherefore should I put thee to death?
18 अब दाऊद भागे र बाँचे, र रामामा शमूएलकहाँ गए र शाऊलले तिनलाई गरेका सबै कुरा उनलाई सुनाए । त्यसपछि तिनी र शमूएल नैयोतमा बसे ।
So, David, fled, and escaped, and came in unto Samuel in Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him, —and he and Samuel departed, and dwelt in Naioth.
19 शाऊललाई यसो भनेर खबर गरियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, दाऊद रामाको नैयोतमा छन् ।”
And it was told Saul, saying, —Lo! David, is in 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 ।
So Saul sent messengers to take David, but, when they saw the assembly of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, then came the Spirit of God upon the messengers of Saul, and, they also, were, moved to prophesy.
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 they told Saul, and he sent other messengers, then were, they also, moved to prophesy. And, when Saul again sent messengers a third time, then were, they also, moved to prophesy.
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 himself, to Ramah, and came in as far as the well of the threshing-floor which is in Sephi, and asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said—Lo! in 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, when he departed from thence towards Naioth in Ramah, then came upon, him also, the Spirit of God, and he went on and on, and was moved to prophesy, until he entered 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, even he, stripped off his upper garments, and, even he, was moved to prophesy before Samuel, and lay prostrate, disrobed, all that day, and all the night. For this cause, do they say, Is, even Saul, among the prophets?
