< १ शमूएल 20 >

1 तब दाऊद रामाको नैयोतबाट भागे र जोनाथनकहाँ आए र भने, “मैले के गरेको छु? मेरो अपराध के हो? तपाईंको बुबाको सामु मैले गरेको पाप हो, जसको कारणले उहाँले मेरो ज्यान लिन खोज्नुहुन्छ?”
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?
2 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “यो कुरा दूर होस् । तपाईं मर्नुहुन्‍न । मेरो बुबाले मलाई नभनी सानो वा ठुलो कुनै पनि कुरा गर्नुहुन्‍न । मेरो बुबाले यो कुरा किन लुकाउनुहुन्छ? यो यस्तो होइन?”
And he said to him, God forbid; you shall not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
3 तापनि दाऊदले फेरि शपथ खाए र भने, “मैले तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भनेर तपाईंको बुबाले राम्ररी थाहा पाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले भन्‍नुभएको छ, 'जोनाथनले यो कुरा थाहा पाउनुहुँदैन नत्र ऊ दुःखित हुनेछ ।' तर जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ र तपाईं जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, म र मृत्यु बिच एक कदम मात्र छ ।”
And David swore moreover, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes; and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
4 तब जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “तपाईंले मलाई जे भन्‍नुहुन्छ, म तपाईंको निम्ति त्यही गर्नेछु ।”
Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.
5 दाऊदले जोनाथनलाई भने, “भोलि औंसी हो, म राजासँग खान बस्‍नुपर्छ । तर मलाई जान दिनुहोस्, ताकि तेस्रो दिनको साँझसम्म म आफै खेतमा लुक्‍न सकूँ ।
And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at even.
6 तपाईंका बुबाले म नहुँदा खिन्‍न महसुस गर्नुभयो भने, यसो भन्‍नुहोस्, 'दाऊदले आफ्नो सहर बेथलेहेममा जान पाऊँ भनी तिनले मसँग ज्‍यादै बिन्‍ती गरेर विदा मागे । किनभने त्‍यहाँ सबै कुलको वार्षिक बलिदान हुँदैछ ।'
If your father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 उहाँले, 'ठिकै छ' भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ भने, तपाईंको दासलाई शान्ति हुनेछ । तर उहाँ रिसले चुर हुनुभयो भने, उहाँले कुनै खराब गर्ने अठोट गर्नुभएको छ भनी जान्‍नुहोस् ।
If he say thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
8 यसकारण आफ्‍नो दासमाथि दायपूर्वक व्यवहार गर्नुहोस् । किनभने तपाईंले आफ्नो दासलाई आफूसँगै परमप्रभुको करारमा ल्याउनुभएको छ । तर ममा कुनै पाप छ भने, मलाई तपाईं आफैले मार्नुहोस् । किनकि मलाई किन तपाईंको बुबाकहाँ ल्याउनुहुन्छ?”
Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?
9 जोनाथनले भने, “यो कुरा तपाईंबाट दूर रहोस्! मेरा बुबाले तपाईंमाथि हानि ल्याउने अठोट गर्नुभएको छ भनी मैले थाहा पाएँ भने, के म तपाईंलाई भन्दिनँ र?”
And Jonathan said, Far be it from you: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then would not I tell it you?
10 तब दाऊदले जोनाथनलाई भने, “तपाईंका बुबाले तपाईंलाई कतै खस्रो किसिमको जवाफ दिनुभयो भने मलाई कसले भनिदिने?”
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly?
11 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “आउनुहोस्, हामी खेतमा जाऔं ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू दुवै जना खेतमा गए ।
And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
12 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “परमप्रभुको इस्राएलको परमेश्‍वर नै साक्षी हुनुभएको होस् । जब भोलि वा पर्सि मैले मेरो बुबालाई प्रश्‍न गरेपछि, हेर्नुहोस्, दाऊदप्रति शुभेच्छा छ भने, के म तपाईंकहाँ कसैलाई पठाउने र त्‍यो कुराको जानकारी तपाईंलाई दिनेछैन र?
And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not to you, and show it you;
13 मेरो बुबाले तपाईंलाई हानि गर्ने इच्छा गर्नुभएको रहेछ, र तपाईं शान्तिमा जान सक्‍नुभएको होस् भनी मैले तपाईंलाई थाहा दिइनँ, र तपाईंलाई पठाइनँ भने, परमप्रभुले जोनाथनलाई यसै र अझ बढी गर्नुभएको होस् । परमप्रभु जसरी मेरो बुबासँग हुनुहुन्‍छ, त्यसरी नै उहाँ तपाईंसँग रहनुभएको होस् ।
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will show it you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
14 म जीवित रहें भने के तपाईंले मलाई परमप्रभुको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता देखाउनुहुनेछैन र ताकि म मर्नेछैन?
And you shall not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
15 परमप्रभुले दाऊदका शत्रुहरूलाई पृथ्वीको सतहबाट निमिट्यान्‍न पार्नुहुँदा पनि मेरो घरानाबाट तपाईंको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता नहटाउनुहोला ।”
But also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
16 त्यसैले जोनाथनले दाऊदको घरानासँग करार बाँधे र भने, “परमप्रभुले दाऊदका शत्रुहरूबाट लेख लिनुभएको होस् ।”
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
17 जोनाथानले दाऊदप्रतिको तिनको प्रेमले गर्दा फेरि तिनले शपथ खाए, किनभने तिनलाई आफ्नो प्राणलाई झैं उनले प्रेम गरे ।
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 तब जोनाथनले तिनलाई भने, “भोलि औंसी हो । तपाईं नहुँदा खिन्‍न महसुस हुनेछ, किनभने तपाईंको आसन खाली हुनेछ ।
Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and you shall be missed, because your seat will be empty.
19 जब तपाईं तिन दिन लुकेपछि, तुरुन्‍तै तल जानुहोस् र यो कुरा सुरु भयो भने तपाईं लुक्‍नुभएकै ठाउँमा आउनुहोस्, अनि एजेल ढुङ्गाको छेउमा बस्‍नुहोस् ।
And when you have stayed three days, then you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20 मैले कुनै कुरालाई तारो बनाएर हानेझैं, म यसको छेउमा तिन वटा काँडहरू हान्‍नेछु ।
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
21 तब म आफ्‍नो जवान केटोलाई यसो भन्‍नेछु र पठाउनेछु, 'जा र काँडहरू टिपेर ले ।'मैले त्यो जवानलाई, 'हेर्, काँडहरू तेरो यतापट्टि छन्, ति लिएर आइज” तब आउनुहोस् । किनभने परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं त्यहाँ तपाईंको निम्ति सुरक्षा हुनेछ, र हानि हुनेछैन ।
And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them; then come you: for there is peace to you, and no hurt; as the LORD lives.
22 “तर मैले त्यो जवानलाई यसो भनें, 'हेर्, काँडहरू तेरो उतापट्टि छन्,' तब तपाईं आफ्नो बाटो लाग्‍नुहोस्, किनकि परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई टाढा पठाउनुभएको छ ।”
But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way: for the LORD has sent you away.
23 म र तपाईंले गरेको सहमतिको बारेमा, हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभु तपाईं र मेरो बिचमा सदासर्वदा साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ' ।”
And as touching the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between you and me for ever.
24 त्यसैले दाऊदले आफूलाई खेतमा लुकाए । जब औंसी आयो, तब राजा खानलाई बसे ।
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
25 सदाझैं राजा आफ्नो आसनमा भित्ताको छेउमा बसे । जोनातन खडा भए, र अबनेर शाऊलको छेउमा बसे । तर दाऊदको ठाउँ खाली थियो ।
And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.
26 तापनि शाऊलले त्यस दिन केही पनि भनेनन्, किनभने तिनले सोचे, “तिनलाई केही भएको छ । तिनी शुद्ध छैनन् । निश्‍चय नै तिनी शुद्ध छैनन् ।”
Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
27 तर औंसीको भोलि पल्ट दाऊदको ठाउँ खाली थियो । शाऊलले जोनाथनलाई भने, “यिशैका छोरा खानलाई हिजो वा आज किन आएको छैन्?”
And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why comes not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
28 जोनाथनले शाऊललाई जवाफ दिए, “दाऊदले बेथलेहेम जानलाई मसँग ज्‍यादै बिन्‍ती गरेर अनुमती मागे ।
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
29 तिनले भने, “कृपया मलाई जान दिनुहोस् । किनकि हाम्रो परिवारको सहरमा एउटा बलिदान छ, र म त्यहाँ हुनुपर्छ भनी मेरो दाजुले मलाई आदेश दिएका छन् । मैले तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने, कृपया मलाई जान र आफ्‍ना दाजुहरूलाई भेट्न दिनुहोस् ।' यसकारण तिनी राजासँग खानलाई टेबलमा आएका छैनन् ।”
And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brothers. Therefore he comes not to the king’s table.
30 तब जोनाथनको विरुद्धमा शाऊल रिस दन्‍कियो र तिनले उनलाई भने, “तँ पथभ्रष्‍ट र विद्रोही स्‍त्री को छोरो! तैंले यिशैका छोरालाई आफ्नै शर्म र आफ्नो आमाको नग्‍नताको शर्मको निम्ति रोजेको छस् भन्‍ने के मलाई थाहा छैन?
Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own confusion, and to the confusion of your mother’s nakedness?
31 किनकि यिशैका छोरा पृथ्वीमा रहेसम्‍म, न तँ रहेनेछस् न त तेरो राज्य नै रहनेछ । अब कसैलाई पठा र त्यसलाई मकहाँ लिएर आइज, किनकि त्यो मरिनैपर्छ ।”
For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the ground, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Why now send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die.
32 जोनाथनले आफ्नो बुबा शाऊललाई जवाफ दिए, “के कराणले तिनलाई मारिनुपर्ने? तिनले के गरेका छन्?”
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? what has he done?
33 तब शाऊलले तिनलाई मार्न आफ्नो भालाले हाने । यसरी आफ्नो बुबाले दाऊदलाई मार्न अठोट गरेका कुरा जोनाथनलाई पक्‍का थाहा भयो ।
And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
34 जोनाथन रिसले आगो भएर टेबलबाट उठे र महिनाको दोस्रो दिन कुनै खाने कुरा खाएनन्, किनकि दाऊदको निम्‍ति तिनी शोकित भए, किनकि तिनका बुबाले उनको अनादर गरेका थिए ।
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
35 भोलिपल्‍ट बिहान दाऊदलाई भनेको समयमा भेट गर्न जोनाथन खेतमा गए र एक जना जवान मानिस तिनीसँगै थियो ।
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36 तिनले आफ्‍नो जवान मानिसलाई भने, “दौडी र मैले हानेका काँडहरू खोजेर ले ।” त्‍यो जवान मानिस जाँदैगर्दा तिनले उसको पछिल्‍तिर काँड हाने।
And he said to his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 जब जोनाथने हानेका काँडहरू भएको ठाउँमा जवान मानिस पुग्‍यो, तब जोनातनले त्‍यो जवान मानिसलाई बोलाए र भने, “के काँड तेरो पछिल्तिर छैनन् र?”
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?
38 तब जोनाथनले त्‍यो जवान मानिसलाई भने, “छिटो गर्, छिटो गर्, नबस् । त्यसैले जोनाथनको जवान केटाले काँडहरू जम्‍मा गर्‍यो र आफ्नो मालिककहाँ आयो ।
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 तर त्‍यो जवान मानिसलाई अरू कुनै कुरा थाहा थिएन । जोनाथन र दाऊदले मात्र सो कुरा जान्दथे ।
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 जोनाथनले आफ्ना हतियारहरू आफ्नो जवान मानिस दिए र त्यसलाई भने, “जा, ति सहरमा लैजा ।”
And Jonathan gave his artillery to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
41 त्‍यो जवान मानिस जानेबित्तिकै, दाऊद ढिस्कोको पछाडिबाट उठे, जमिनमा घोप्टो परे र शिर झुकाएर तिन पटक दण्डवत गरे । तिनीहरूले एकआपसमा चुम्बन गरे र सँगसँगै रोए, अनि दाऊद झन् धेरै रोए ।
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
42 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “शान्तिसँग जानुहोस्, किनभने, 'तपाईं र म, तपाईंका सन्तान र मेरा सन्तान बिचमा परमप्रभु सदाको निम्ति हुनुभएको होस्' भनी परमप्रभुको नाउँमा हामी दुवैले शपथ खाएका छौं ।” तब दाऊद उठे, र गए र जोनाथन सहरमा फर्के ।
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for as much as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
