१ शमूएल 22
1 यसैले दाऊद त्यहाँबाट भागे र अदुल्लामको गुफामा गए । जब तिनका दाजुहरू र तिनका बुबाका सबै घरानाले यो सुने, तिनीहरू तिनीकहाँ तल गए ।
David therefore departed from there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
2 कष्टमा परेका हरेक, ऋणमा परेका हरेक र असन्तुष्ट हरेक, ती सबै तिनीकहाँ भेला भए । दाऊद तिनीहरूका कप्तान भए । तिनीसँग करिब चार सय जना मानिस थिए ।
And every man who was in distress, and every man who was in debt, and every man who was discontented, gathered themselves to him, and he became captain over them. And there were with him about four hundred men.
3 तब दाऊद त्यहाँबाट मोआबको मिस्पामा गए । तिनले मोआबको राजालाई भने, “कृपया, परमेश्वरले मेरो निम्ति के गर्नुहुन्छ भनी मैले थाहा नपाएसम्म मेरो बुबा र मेरो आमालाई तपाईंकहाँ रहन दिनुहोस् ।”
And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
4 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई मोआबको राजासँग छोडे । दाऊद किल्लामा रहँदा तिनका बुबा र आमा पुरा समय तिनीसँगै बसे ।
And he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5 तब गाद अगमवक्ताले दाऊदलाई भने, “तपाईंको किल्लामा नबस्नुहोस् । छोडेर यहूदाको देशमा जानुहोस् ।” त्यसैले दाऊद त्यहाँबाट निस्के र हारेतको वनमा गए ।
And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the stronghold. Depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6 दाऊदलाई तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरूसहित भेटिए भन्ने कुरा शाऊलले सुने । अहिले शाऊल रामामा भएको झ्याउको रूखमुनि आफ्नो हातमा भाला लिएर बसिरहेका थिए र तिनका सेवकहरू तिनका वरिपरि खडा थिए ।
And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7 शाऊलले आफ्नो वरिपरि खडा भएका सेवकहरूलाई भने, “हे बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू हो, सुन! के यिशैका छोराले तिमीहरू हरेकलाई खेत र दाखबारीहरू दिनेछ? के उसले तिमीहरू सबैलाई हजारका कप्तानहरू र सयका कप्तानहरू बनाउनेछ,
And Saul said to his servants who stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
8 जसको बदलामा तिमीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा षड्यान्त्र गर्दैछौ? मेरो छोराले यिशैका छोरासँग करार गर्दा तिमीहरू कसैले पनि मलाई जानकारी दिएनौ । मेरो निम्ति तिमीहरू कोही पनि दुःखी छैनौ । मेरो छोराले मेरो सेवक दाऊदलाई मेरो विरुद्धमा उक्साएको कुरा तिमीहरू कसैले पनि मलाई जानकारी दिएनौ । आज ऊ लुक्छ र मलाई आक्रमण गर्न मलाई हेरेर बस्छ ।”
that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse? And there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day.
9 तब शाऊलका सेवकहरूसँगै खडा भएका एदोमी दोएगले जवाफ दियो, “यिशैका छोरा नोबमा अहीतूबका छोरा अहीमेलेककहाँ आएको मैले देखें ।
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 परमप्रभुबाट उसलाई सहायता मिलोस् भनी तिनले उसको निम्ति प्रार्थना गरे, र तिनले उसलाई खानेकुरा र पलिश्ती गोल्यतको तरवार दिए ।”
And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11 अनि शाऊलले अहीतूबका छोरा पुजारी अहीमेलेक, र तिनका बुबाको घरानाका सबै, नोबमा भएका पुजारीहरूलाई बोलाउन कसैलाई पठाए । तिनीहरू सबै जना राजाकहाँ आए ।
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. And they came to the king, all of them.
12 शाऊलले भने, “अहितूबका छोरा सुन् ।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म यहाँ छु मालिक ।”
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
13 शाऊलले तिनलाई भने, “तैंले, तैंले र यिशैका छोराले किन मेरो विरुद्धमा षडयन्त्र रचेको छस्, जसमा तैंले उसलाई रोटी र तरवार दिइस् र परमप्रभुले उसलाई सहायता गर्नुभएको होस् भनी प्रार्थना गरिस्, जसले गर्दा मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुनलाई ऊ गुप्तमा लुक्न सकोस्, जस्तो आज उसले गरेको छ?”
And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me to lie in wait as at this day?
14 अनि अहीमेलकले राजालाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “तपाईंका सेवकहरूमध्ये दाऊदजस्तो विश्वासयोग्य, जो राजाका ज्वाइँ, तपाईंको अङ्गरक्षकका कप्तान र तपाईंको घरानामा आदर गरिएको अरू को छ?
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is taken into thy council, and is honorable in thy house?
15 तिनलाई सहायता मिलोस् भनी मैले परमेश्वरमा प्रार्थना गरेको के आझ नै पहिलो पटक हो र? यो मबाट दुर होस्! राजाले आफ्नो सेवक वा मेरो बुबाको सारा घरानालाई कुनै दोष नलगाउनुहोला । किनकि तपाईंको सेवकलाई यी कुरा केही पनि थाहा छैन ।”
Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Let not the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father, for thy servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.
16 राजाले जवाफ दिए, “अहीमेलेक, तँ र तेरा बुबाको घरानाका सबै जना निश्चय नै मर्नेछौ ।”
And the king said, Thou shall surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
17 राजाले तिनका वरिपरि खडा बएका अङ्गरक्षकलाई भने, “फर्क र परमप्रभुको पुजारीहरूलाई मार् । किनभने तिनीहरूका हात पनि दाऊदसँगै छन्, र किनभने तिनी भागेका थिए भनी तिनीहरूले थाहा पाए, तर त्यो कुरा मलाई प्रकट गरेनन् ।” तर राजाका सेवकहरूले परमप्रभुको पुजारीहरूलाई मार्नलाई आफ्ना हात हालेनन् ।
And the king said to the guard who stood about him, Turn, and kill the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of Jehovah.
18 तब राजाले दोएगलाई भने, “फर्की र पुजारीहरूलाई मार् ।” त्यसैले एदोमी दोएग फर्के र पुजारीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे । त्यस दिन एपोद लाउने पचासी जना मानिसहरूलाई उसले मार्यो ।
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod.
19 उसले पुजारीहरूको सहर नोबलाई पनि तरवारले आक्रमण गर्यो । पुरुष र स्त्री, बालक र दूधे बालक, गोरुहरू र गधाहरू र भेडाहरू सबैलाई उसले तरवारले मार्यो ।
And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, sons and sucklings, and oxen and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 तर अहीतूबका छोरा अहीमेलेकका छोराहरूमध्ये अबीयाथार नाउँका एक जना उम्के र दाऊदकहाँ गए ।
And one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 शाऊलले परमप्रभुका पुजारीहरूलाई मरेको कुरा अबीयाथारले दाऊदलाई सुनाए ।
And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.
22 दाऊदले अबीयाथारलाई भने, “एदोमी दोएगलाई त्यहाँ देख्दा नै मलाई त्यसै दिन थाहा थियो, कि उसले निश्चय पनि शाऊललाई भन्नेछ । तिम्रो बुबाको परिवारको हरेकको मृत्युको निम्ति म जिम्मेवार छु ।
And David said to Abiathar, I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
23 मसँग बस र नडराऊ । तिम्रो ज्यान लिन खोज्नेले मेरो पनि ज्यान मार्न खोजेको छ । तिमी मसँग सुरक्षित हुनेछौ ।”
Abide thou with me. Fear not, for he who seeks my life seeks thy life, for with me thou shall be in safeguard.
