१ शमूएल 23

1 तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, पलिश्तीहरूले कीलाह विरुद्ध लडिरहेका छन् र अन्‍नका खलाहरू लूटिरहेका छन् ।”

And people told to David saying there! [the] Philistines [are] fighting against Keilah and they [are] plundering 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 ।”

And he enquired David by Yahweh saying ¿ will I go and will I strike? the Philistines these. And he said Yahweh to David go and you will strike the Philistines and you will deliver Keilah.

3 दाऊदका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, हामी यहाँ यहूदामा डराएका छौं । हामी कीलाहमा पलिश्तीहरूका फौजको विरुद्धमा गयौं भने झन् कति धेरै डराउनेछौं?

And they said [the] men of David to him here! we here in Judah [are] fearful and indeed? if we will go Keilah against [the] battle lines 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 ।”

And he repeated again David to enquire by Yahweh. And he answered him Yahweh and he said arise go down Keilah for I [am] about to give [the] Philistines in hand your.

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 ।

And he went David (and men his *Q(K)*) Keilah and he fought against the Philistines and he drove away livestock their and he defeated them a defeat great and he delivered David [the] inhabitants of Keilah.

6 जब अहीमेलेकका छोरा अबीयाथार भागेर कीलाहमा दाऊदकहाँ जाँदा, तिनी एपोदसहित तल आएका थिए ।

And it was when fled Abiathar [the] son of Ahimelech to David Keilah an ephod it came down in hand his.

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

And it was told to Saul that he had gone David Keilah and he said Saul he has alienated him God in hand my for he has shut himself up by going in a city of doors and bar[s].

8 युद्धको निम्ति तल कीलाहमा जान, दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूलाई घेरा हाल्न शाऊलले आफ्‍ना सबै फौजलाई बोलाए ।

And he summoned Saul all the people for battle to go down Keilah to lay siege against David and against men his.

9 शाऊलले आफ्‍नो विरुद्धमा षड्यान्त्र गरिरहेका कुरा दाऊदलाई थाहा थियो । तिनले पुजारी अबीयाथारलाई भने, “एपोद यहाँ ल्याऊ ।”

And he knew David that on him Saul [was] plotting evil and he said to Abiathar the priest bring near! the ephod.

10 तब दाऊदले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर, शाऊल मेरो कारणले सहरलाई नाश पार्न कीलाहमा आउन खोज्छ भन्‍ने तपाईंको दासले सुनेको छ ।

And he said David O Yahweh [the] God of Israel certainly he has heard servant your that [is] seeking Saul to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.

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 ।”

¿ Will they deliver up me [the] citizens of Keilah in hand his ¿ will he come down Saul just as he has heard servant your O Yahweh [the] God of Israel tell please to servant your. And he said Yahweh he will come down.

12 तब दाऊदले भने, “के कीलाहका मानिसहरूले मलाई र मेरा मानिसहरूलाई शाऊलको हातमा सुम्पनेछन्?” परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सुम्‍पनेछन् ।”

And he said David ¿ will they deliver up [the] citizens of Keilah me and men my in [the] hand of Saul and he said Yahweh 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 ।

And he arose David and men his about six hundred man and they went out from Keilah and they went about at where they went about and to Saul it was told that he had escaped David from Keilah and he ceased to go forth.

14 दाऊद उजाड-स्‍थान भएका किल्लाहरूमा, जीपको उजाड-स्‍थानको पडाडी देशमा बसे । शाऊलले तिनलाई हरेक दिन खोजे, तर परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई उनको हातमा दिनुभएन ।

And he dwelt David in the wilderness in the strongholds and he dwelt in the hill country in [the] wilderness of Ziph and he sought him Saul all the days and not he gave him God in hand his.

15 शाऊलले तिनको ज्यान खोज्दै आएका कुरा दाऊदले देखे । यति बेला दाऊद जीपमा भएको होरेशको उजाड-स्‍थान थिए ।

And he saw David that he had come forth Saul to seek life his 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 ।

And he arose Jonathan [the] son of Saul and he went to David Horesh and he strengthened hand his in God.

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 ।”

And he said to him may not you be afraid for not it will find you [the] hand of Saul father my and you you will reign over Israel and I I will become to you second in rank and also Saul father my [is] knowing [it is] thus.

18 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको सामु करार गरे । दाऊद होरेशमा नै रहे र जोनाथन घर गए ।

And they made [the] two of them a covenant before Yahweh and he remained David at Horesh and Jonathan he went to house his.

19 त्यसपछि जीपीहरू गिबामा शाऊलकहाँ आए र भने, “के दाऊद यशीमोनको दक्षिणतिरका हकीला पहाडको होरेशका किल्लाहरू लुकिरहेका छैन र?

And they went up Ziphites to Saul Gibeah towards saying ¿ not [is] David hiding himself with us in the strongholds at Horesh on [the] hill of Hakilah which [is] from [the] south of Jeshimon.

20 अब हे राजा तल आउनुहोस्, तपाईंको इच्छाअनुसार तल आउनुहोस् । हाम्रो काम भनेको तिनलाई राजाको हातमा सुम्‍पने हुनेछ ।”

And now to all [the] desire of self your O king to come down come down and [belongs] to us to deliver up him in [the] hand of the king.

21 शाऊलले भने, “तिमीहरूलाई परमप्रभुले आशिष् देऊन् । किनकि तिमीहरूले ममाथि दया गरेका छौ ।

And he said Saul [be] blessed you by Yahweh 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 ।

Go please prepare still and know and see place his where it is foot his who? has he seen him there for someone has said to me certainly he is crafty he.

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 ।”

And see and know from all the hiding places where he hides himself there and you will return to me to a certain [thing] and I will go with you and it will be if there he [is] in the land and I will search out 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 ।

And they arose and they went Ziph towards before Saul and David and men his [were] in [the] wilderness of Maon in the Arabah to [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 ।

And he went Saul and men his to seek [him] and people told to David and he went down the rock and he remained in [the] wilderness of Maon and he heard Saul and he pursued after David [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 he went Saul from [the] side of the mountain from this and David and men his [were] from [the] side of the mountain from this and he was David hurrying away to go from before Saul and Saul and men his [were] surrounding David and men his to catch them.

27 एक जना दूत शाऊलकहाँ आयो र भन्‍यो, “छिटो गर्नुहोस् र आउनुहोस्, किनकि पलिश्‍तीहरूले देश लुटेका छन् ।”

And a messenger he came to Saul saying make haste! and come! for they have made a raid [the] Philistines on the land.

28 त्यसैले शाऊल दाउदलाई खेद्‍न छोडेर फर्के र पलिश्तीहरूका विरुद्ध लड्न गए । यसकारण त्यस ठाउँलाई बाँचेको चट्टान भनियो ।

And he turned back Saul from pursuing after David and he went to meet [the] Philistines there-fore people called the place that Sela Hammahlekoth.

29 त्यहाँबाट दाऊद माथि गए र एन-गदीका किल्लाहरूमा बसे ।

And he went up David from there and he dwelt in [the] strongholds of En Gedi.
