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 ।
Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
2 त्यसैले जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “मेरा बुबा शाऊलले तपाईंलाई मार्न खोज्दैछन् । यसकारण बिहान सजग हुनुहोस् र आफूलाई कुनै गोप्य ठाउँमा लुकाउनुहोस् ।
So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
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 will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
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 ।
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
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 took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 शाऊलले जोनाथनको कुरा सुने । शाऊलले शपथ खाए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिनलाई मारिनेछैन ।”
Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will 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 ।
Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 फेरि पनि युद्ध भयो र दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न गए र ठुलो संहारका साथ तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । उनीहरू तिनको सामुबाट भागे ।
There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. 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 ।
A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
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, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. 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 ।”
Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 त्यसैले मीकलले दाऊदलाई झ्यालबाट तल झारिन् । तिनी गए र भागे र बाँचे ।
So Michal let David down through the window. 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 ।
Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 जब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई ल्याउन दूतहरू पठाए, तब तिनले भनिन्, “तिनी बिरामी छन् ।”
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 ।”
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
16 जब दूतहरू हेर्नलाई आए, हेर, शिरमा बाख्राको रौंको सिरानी बनाएको घरानाको मूर्ती ओछ्यानमा थियो ।
When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' 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?'”
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
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 went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
19 शाऊललाई यसो भनेर खबर गरियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, दाऊद रामाको नैयोतमा छन् ।”
It was told to Saul, saying, “See, 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 ।
Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on 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 ।
When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So 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 he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, 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 ।
Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he 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?”
He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
