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 ।

And David goes from there, and escapes to the cave of Adullam, and his brothers hear, and all the house of his father, and they go down to 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 ।

and every man in distress gathers themselves to him, and every man who has an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is for head over them, and there are about 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 ।”

And David goes from there to Mizpeh of Moab and says to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God does for me”;

4 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई मोआबको राजासँग छोडे । दाऊद किल्लामा रहँदा तिनका बुबा र आमा पुरा समय तिनीसँगै बसे ।

and he leads them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David’s being in the fortress.

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 says to David, “You do not abide in a fortress, go, and you have entered the land of Judah for yourself”; and David goes and enters the forest of Hareth.

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 hears that David has become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants [are] standing by 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 says to his servants who are standing by him, “Now hear, sons of Benjamin; does the son of Jesse also give fields and vineyards to all of you? Does he appoint all of you [to be] heads of thousands and heads 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 ।”

For all of you have conspired against me, and there is none uncovering my ear about my son’s cutting [a covenant] with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering my ear, that my son has raised 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 ।

And Doeg the Edomite answers, who is set over the servants of Saul, and says, “I have seen the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech 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 inquires of YHWH for him, and has given provision to him, and has given the sword of Goliath the Philistine to him.”

11 अनि शाऊलले अहीतूबका छोरा पुजारी अहीमेलेक, र तिनका बुबाको घरानाका सबै, नोबमा भएका पुजारीहरूलाई बोलाउन कसैलाई पठाए । तिनीहरू सबै जना राजाकहाँ आए ।

And the king sends to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and all of them come to the king;

12 शाऊलले भने, “अहितूबका छोरा सुन् ।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म यहाँ छु मालिक ।”

and Saul says, “Now hear, son of Ahitub”; and he says, “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 says to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, by your giving bread and a sword to him, and to inquire of God for him, to 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?

And Ahimelech answers the king and says, “And who among all your servants [is] as David—faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and has turned aside to your council, and is honored in your 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 ।”

Today have I begun to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.”

16 राजाले जवाफ दिए, “अहीमेलेक, तँ र तेरा बुबाको घरानाका सबै जना निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछौ ।”

And the king says, “You surely die, Ahimelech, you and all the house of your father.”

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 says to the runners, those standing by him, “Turn around, and put the priests of YHWH to death, because their hand [is] also with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered my ear”; and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of YHWH.

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 says to Doeg, “Turn around, and come against the priests”; and Doeg the Edomite turns around, and comes against the priests himself, and in that day puts to death eighty-five men bearing 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 has struck by the mouth of the sword, from man and to woman, from infant and to suckling, and ox, and donkey, and sheep, by the mouth of the sword.

20 तर अहीतूबका छोरा अहीमेलेकका छोराहरूमध्ये अबीयाथार नाउँका एक जना उम्के र दाऊदकहाँ गए ।

And one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, escapes, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he flees after David,

21 शाऊलले परमप्रभुका पुजारीहरूलाई मरेको कुरा अबीयाथारले दाऊदलाई सुनाए ।

and Abiathar declares to David that Saul has slain the priests of YHWH.

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 says to Abiathar, “I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he certainly declares [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] around to every person of the house of your father;

23 मसँग बस र नडराऊ । तिम्रो ज्यान लिन खोज्‍नेले मेरो पनि ज्यान मार्न खोजेको छ । तिमी मसँग सुरक्षित हुनेछौ ।”

dwell with me; do not fear; for he who seeks my life seeks your life; for you [are my] charge with me.”
