१ शमूएल 23
1 तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, पलिश्तीहरूले कीलाह विरुद्ध लडिरहेका छन् र अन्नका खलाहरू लूटिरहेका छन् ।”
David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors."
2 त्यसैले दाऊदले परमप्रभुसँग सहायताको निम्ति प्रार्थना गरे र उहाँलाई भने, “के म जाऊँ र पलिश्तीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरूँ?” परमप्रभुले दाऊदलाई भन्नुभयो, “जा, पलिश्तीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर् र कीलाहलाई बचा ।”
Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and strike these Philistines?" Then the LORD replied, "Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah."
3 दाऊदका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, हामी यहाँ यहूदामा डराएका छौं । हामी कीलाहमा पलिश्तीहरूका फौजको विरुद्धमा गयौं भने झन् कति धेरै डराउनेछौं?
David's men said to him, "Look, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"
4 तब दाऊदले परमप्रभुसँग सहायताको निम्ति फेरि प्रार्थना गरे । परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ्, तल कीलाहमा जा । किनकि म तँलाई पलिश्तीहरूमाथि विजय दिनेछु ।”
Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand."
5 दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू कीलाहमा गए र पलिश्तीहरूसँग लडे । तिनले उनीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरू लगे र ठुलो संहारसहित तिनीहरूलाई प्रहार गरे । यसरी दाऊदले कीलाहका बासिन्दाहरूलाई बचाए ।
David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 जब अहीमेलेकका छोरा अबीयाथार भागेर कीलाहमा दाऊदकहाँ जाँदा, तिनी एपोदसहित तल आएका थिए ।
It happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David, that he went down with David to Keilah, having an ephod in his hand.
7 दाऊद कीलाहमा गएका थिए भनी शाऊललाई भनियो । शाऊलले भने, “परमेश्वरले उसलाई मेरो हातमा दिनुभएको छ । किनकि ऊ थुनिएको छ, किनभने ढोकाहरू र बारहरू भएको सहरमा ऊ पसेको छ
Now it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. So Saul said, "God has sold him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering into a town that has gates and bars."
8 युद्धको निम्ति तल कीलाहमा जान, दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूलाई घेरा हाल्न शाऊलले आफ्ना सबै फौजलाई बोलाए ।
Then Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
9 शाऊलले आफ्नो विरुद्धमा षड्यान्त्र गरिरहेका कुरा दाऊदलाई थाहा थियो । तिनले पुजारी अबीयाथारलाई भने, “एपोद यहाँ ल्याऊ ।”
David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."
10 तब दाऊदले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, शाऊल मेरो कारणले सहरलाई नाश पार्न कीलाहमा आउन खोज्छ भन्ने तपाईंको दासले सुनेको छ ।
Then David said, "LORD, God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
11 के कीलाहका मानिसहरूले मलाई तिनको हातमा सुम्पनेछन्? के तपाईंको दासले सुनेजस्तै शाऊल तल आउनेछन्? हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, म तपाईंसँग बिन्ती गर्छु, कृपया आफ्नो दासलाई भन्नुहोस् ।” परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “ऊ तल आउनेछ ।”
And now, will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, God of Israel, tell your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."
12 तब दाऊदले भने, “के कीलाहका मानिसहरूले मलाई र मेरा मानिसहरूलाई शाऊलको हातमा सुम्पनेछन्?” परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सुम्पनेछन् ।”
Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" The LORD said, "They will deliver you up."
13 तब दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका करिब छ सय जना मानिसहरू उठे र कीलाहबाट टाढा गए र तिनीहरू ठाउँ-ठाउँमा गए । दाऊद कीलाहबाट उम्के भनी शाऊललाई भनियो र तिनलले पिछा गर्न छोडे ।
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. And Saul was told that David had escaped Keilah; so he gave up the pursuit.
14 दाऊद उजाड-स्थान भएका किल्लाहरूमा, जीपको उजाड-स्थानको पडाडी देशमा बसे । शाऊलले तिनलाई हरेक दिन खोजे, तर परमेश्वरले तिनलाई उनको हातमा दिनुभएन ।
David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but the LORD did not deliver him into his hand.
15 शाऊलले तिनको ज्यान खोज्दै आएका कुरा दाऊदले देखे । यति बेला दाऊद जीपमा भएको होरेशको उजाड-स्थान थिए ।
Now David was afraid that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
16 तब शाऊलका छोरा जोनाथन उठे र होरेशमा दाऊदकहाँ गए र परमेश्वरमा तिनको हातलाई बलियो बनाए ।
Jonathan, Saul's son, set out and came to David at Horesh and encouraged him in the LORD.
17 उनले तिनलाई भने, “नडराउनुहोस् । किनकि मेरा बुबा शाऊलका हातले तपाईंलाई भेट्टाउनेछैन । तपाईं इस्राएलको राजा हुनुहुनेछ र म तपाईंको दोस्रो हुनेछु । मेरा बुबा शाऊललाई पनि यो कुरा थाहा छ ।”
He said to him, "Do not be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows."
18 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको सामु करार गरे । दाऊद होरेशमा नै रहे र जोनाथन घर गए ।
They both made a covenant before the LORD: and David stayed at Horesh, and Jonathan went to his house.
19 त्यसपछि जीपीहरू गिबामा शाऊलकहाँ आए र भने, “के दाऊद यशीमोनको दक्षिणतिरका हकीला पहाडको होरेशका किल्लाहरू लुकिरहेका छैन र?
Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, "Doesn't David hide himself with us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hakilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
20 अब हे राजा तल आउनुहोस्, तपाईंको इच्छाअनुसार तल आउनुहोस् । हाम्रो काम भनेको तिनलाई राजाको हातमा सुम्पने हुनेछ ।”
Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of your soul to come down. It will be our responsibility to deliver him up into the king's hand."
21 शाऊलले भने, “तिमीहरूलाई परमप्रभुले आशिष् देऊन् । किनकि तिमीहरूले ममाथि दया गरेका छौ ।
Saul said, "You are blessed by the LORD; for you have had compassion on me.
22 जाओ, अझै पक्का गर । तिनको लुक्ने ठाउँ कहाँ छ अनि त्यहाँ उसलाई कसले देखेको हो थाहा पाओ र पत्ता लगाओ । ऊ धेरै चतुर छ भनी मलाई भनिएको छ ।
Please go investigate again, and look around and learn the place where his swift foot is, for I am told that he is very clever.
23 त्यसैले हेर र उसले आफूलाई कहाँ लुकाउँछ सबै ठाउँ पत्ता लगाओ । पक्का सूचना लिएर मकहाँ फर्की आओ, अनि त्यसपछि तिमीहरूसँगै म फर्केर जानेछु । ऊ त्यस ठाउँमा छ भने, म उसलाई हजारौं यहूदाका माझमा सबैतिर खोज्नेछु ।”
See therefore, and find out all the hiding places where he hides himself, and come back to me when you know for certain, and I will go with you. And it shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search for him among all the thousands of Judah."
24 तब तिनीहरू उठे र शाऊलभन्दा अगि जीपमा गए । दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरू यशीमोनको दक्षिणतिरको अराबाको माओनको उजाड-स्थानमा थिए ।
They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of Jeshimon.
25 शाऊल र उनका मानिसहरू तिनलाई खोज्न गए । तर दाऊदलाई यो कुरा भनिएको थियो, त्यसैले तिनी तल चट्टानको पहाडतिर गए र माओनको उजाड-स्थानमा बसे । जब शाऊलले त्यो कुरा सुने, तब तिनले दाऊदलाई माओनको उजाड-स्थानमा लखेटे ।
Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
26 शाऊल पहाडको एकपट्टि हिंडे र दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू पहाडको अर्कोपट्टि हिंडिरहेका थिए । शाऊलबाट टाढा जानलाई दाऊद हतारिए । जसै शाऊल र तिनका मानिसहरूले दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूलाई समात्न घेरा लगाउँदै थिए,
And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain. And David was hurrying to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
27 एक जना दूत शाऊलकहाँ आयो र भन्यो, “छिटो गर्नुहोस् र आउनुहोस्, किनकि पलिश्तीहरूले देश लुटेका छन् ।”
But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land."
28 त्यसैले शाऊल दाउदलाई खेद्न छोडेर फर्के र पलिश्तीहरूका विरुद्ध लड्न गए । यसकारण त्यस ठाउँलाई बाँचेको चट्टान भनियो ।
So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Rock of Divisions.
29 त्यहाँबाट दाऊद माथि गए र एन-गदीका किल्लाहरूमा बसे ।
David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
