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 escaped and went to the cave of Adullam. When they heard where he was his brothers and all the rest of his family went and joined him there.
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 ।
Everyone who was in trouble or in debt or resentful also came to him and he became their leader. He had around four hundred men with him.
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 ।”
Then David went to Mizpeh in the country of Moab. He asked the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is planning for me.”
4 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई मोआबको राजासँग छोडे । दाऊद किल्लामा रहँदा तिनका बुबा र आमा पुरा समय तिनीसँगै बसे ।
So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with the king all the time David lived in the stronghold.
5 तब गाद अगमवक्ताले दाऊदलाई भने, “तपाईंको किल्लामा नबस्नुहोस् । छोडेर यहूदाको देशमा जानुहोस् ।” त्यसैले दाऊद त्यहाँबाट निस्के र हारेतको वनमा गए ।
But then the prophet Gad told David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go back to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to 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 ।
Saul found out that David had returned and where he was. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill in Gibeah. He had his spear in his hand, with all his officials surrounding 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,
Saul said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse going to give all of you fields and vineyards and make you commanders and officers in the army?
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 ।”
Is that why you've all plotted against me? Not a single one of you told me that my own son had made an agreement with Jesse's son. Not a single one of you has shown you cared about me, or explained to me that my son has encouraged him to try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
9 तब शाऊलका सेवकहरूसँगै खडा भएका एदोमी दोएगले जवाफ दियो, “यिशैका छोरा नोबमा अहीतूबका छोरा अहीमेलेककहाँ आएको मैले देखें ।
Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul's officers, spoke up, saying, “I saw the son of Jesse visit Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, at Nob.
10 परमप्रभुबाट उसलाई सहायता मिलोस् भनी तिनले उसको निम्ति प्रार्थना गरे, र तिनले उसलाई खानेकुरा र पलिश्ती गोल्यतको तरवार दिए ।”
Ahimelech asked advice from the Lord for him and gave him food. He gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine as well.”
11 अनि शाऊलले अहीतूबका छोरा पुजारी अहीमेलेक, र तिनका बुबाको घरानाका सबै, नोबमा भएका पुजारीहरूलाई बोलाउन कसैलाई पठाए । तिनीहरू सबै जना राजाकहाँ आए ।
The king sent a message to summon Ahimelech the priest, son of Ahitub, and all his family, who were priests at Nob. They all came to the king.
12 शाऊलले भने, “अहितूबका छोरा सुन् ।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म यहाँ छु मालिक ।”
“Now you listen, son of Ahitub,” the king shouted. “What is it, my lord?” Ahimelech asked.
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?”
“Why have you and the son of Jesse plotted against me? You gave him bread and a sword, and asked advice from God for him so that he could rebel against me and try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
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?
“Who of all your officers is as trustworthy as David, the king's son-in-law? He is in charge of your bodyguard, and highly respected in your family!” Ahimelech responded.
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 ।”
“And was that day the first time he asked advice from God on his behalf? Of course not! The king should not accuse me your servant or any of my family, for I didn't know anything about any of this.”
16 राजाले जवाफ दिए, “अहीमेलेक, तँ र तेरा बुबाको घरानाका सबै जना निश्चय नै मर्नेछौ ।”
“You're going to die for this!” the king declared. “You and all your family!”
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 ।
Then the king turned to his bodyguards standing there and ordered them, “Kill these priests of the Lord, because they're on David's side! They knew he was a fugitive and yet they didn't tell me!” But the king's guards refused to attack the priests of the Lord.
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 ।
So the king ordered Doeg, “You kill the priests!” Doeg the Edomite attacked and killed the priests, killing eighty-five men wearing the priestly 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 ।
Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and slaughtered its men and women, children and infants, cattle, donkeys, and sheep.
20 तर अहीतूबका छोरा अहीमेलेकका छोराहरूमध्ये अबीयाथार नाउँका एक जना उम्के र दाऊदकहाँ गए ।
But one of the sons of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, managed to escape. His name was Abiathar, and he ran away and joined David.
21 शाऊलले परमप्रभुका पुजारीहरूलाई मरेको कुरा अबीयाथारले दाऊदलाई सुनाए ।
He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.
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 ।
David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he was going to tell Saul about it. It's my fault that all your family have died.
23 मसँग बस र नडराऊ । तिम्रो ज्यान लिन खोज्नेले मेरो पनि ज्यान मार्न खोजेको छ । तिमी मसँग सुरक्षित हुनेछौ ।”
But you can stay with me and you don't need to be afraid, because the man who wants to kill you wants to kill me too. I'll take good care of you.”
