१ शमूएल 25

1 शमूएल मरे । सबै इस्राएल भेला भए र तिनको निम्ति विलाप गरे र तिनलाई आफ्नै घर रामामा दफन गरे । त्यसपछि दाऊद उठे र पारानको उजाड-स्‍थानमा तल झरे ।

Then Samuel dyed, and all Israel assembled, and mourned for him, and buried him in his owne house at Ramah. And Dauid arose and went downe to the wildernes of Paran.

2 माओनमा एक जना मानिस थिए जसको सम्‍पत्ति कार्मेलमा थियो । त्यो मानिस धेरै धनी थियो । उसको तिन हजार भेडा र एक हजार बाख्राहरू थिए । उसले कार्मेलमा भेडाको ऊन कत्रँदै थियो ।

Now in Maon was a man, who had his possessio in Carmel, and the man was exceeding mightie and had three thousand sheepe, and a thousand goates: and he was shering his sheepe in Carmel.

3 त्यो मानिसको नाउँ नाबाल थियो । उसकी पत्‍नीको नाउँ अबीगेल थियो । ती स्‍त्री बुद्धिमती र देख्‍नमा सुन्दरी थिइन् । तर त्यो मानिस आफ्‍नो व्यावहारमा कठोर र खराब थियो । ऊ कालेबको घरानाको सन्तान थियो ।

The name also of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and she was a woman of singular wisdome, and beautifull, but the man was churlish, and euil conditioned, and was of the familie of Caleb.

4 नाबालले उजाड-स्‍थानमा भेडाको ऊन कत्रँदैछन् भनी दाऊदले सुने ।

And Dauid heard in the wildernesse, that Nabal did shere his sheepe.

5 त्यसैले दाऊदले दस जना जवान मानिसलाई पठाए । दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसहरूलाई भने, “कार्मेलमा माथि जाओ, नाबालकहाँ जाओ र मेरो नाउँमा तिनलाई अभिवादन गर ।

Therefore Dauid sent tenne yong men, and Dauid said vnto the yong men, Go vp to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and aske him in my name how he doeth.

6 तिमीहरूले तिनलाई भन्‍नु, “समृद्धिमा जिउनुहोस् । तपाईंलाई शान्ति मिलोस्, तपाईंका घरानामा शान्ति छाओस् र तपाईंसँग भएका सबैलाई शान्‍ति होस् ।

And thus shall ye say for salutation, Both thou, and thine house, and all that thou hast, be in peace, wealth and prosperitie.

7 तपाईंसँग ऊन कत्रनेहरू छन् भनी म सुन्छु । तपाईंका गोठालाहरू हामीसँग छन् र हामीले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै हानि गरेनौं र तिनीहरू कार्मेलमा हुँदा तिनीहरूले कुनै पनि कुरा गुमाएनन् ।

Behold, I haue heard, that thou hast sherers: now thy shepherds were with vs, and we did the no hurt, neyther did they misse any thing all the while they were in Carmel.

8 तपाईंका जवान मानिसहरूलाई सोध्‍नुहोस् र तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई भन्‍नेछन् । अब मेरा जवानहरूले तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाऊन्, किनकि हामी आज उत्सवको समयमा आएका छौं । कृपया तपाईंको हातमा जे छ सो तपाईंका सेवकहरू र तपाईंका छोरा दाऊदलाई दिनुहोस् ।”

Aske thy seruants and they wil shew thee. Wherefore let these yong men finde fauour in thine eyes: (for we come in a good season) giue, I pray thee, whatsoeuer commeth to thine hand vnto thy seruants, and to thy sonne Dauid.

9 जब दाऊदका जवान मानिसहरू आइपुगे, तिनीहरूले यी सबै कुरा दाऊदको तर्फबाट नाबाललाई भने र प्रतिक्षा गरे ।

And when Dauids yong men came, they tolde Nabal all those wordes in the name of Dauid, and helde their peace.

10 नाबालले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “दाऊद को हुन् र यिशैका छोरा को हुन्? आजभोलि आफ्ना मालिकहरूबाट भाग्‍ने धेरै जना सेवकहरू छन् ।

Then Nabal answered Dauids seruantes, and sayd, Who is Dauid? and who is the sonne of Ishai? there be many seruantes nowe a dayes, that breake away euery man from his master.

11 के मैले आफ्‍ना ऊन कत्रनेहरूका निम्ति काटेका मासु, मेरो रोटी र मेरो पानी कहाँबाट आएका हुन् भनी मैले नचिनेको मानिसहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ?”

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I haue killed for my sherers, and giue it vnto men, whom I know not whence they be?

12 त्यसैले दाऊदका मानिसहरू फर्केर आए र भनिएका हरेक कुरा तिनलाई बताए ।

So Dauids seruants turned their way, and went againe, and came, and tolde him all those things.

13 दाऊदले तिनका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “हरेक मानिसले आ‍-आफ्नो तरवार भिर ।” त्यसैले हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्नो तरवार भिरे । दाऊदले पनि आफ्नो तरवार भिरे । झण्डै चार सय मानिसहरू दाऊदको पछि लागे र दुई सय जनाचाहिं सरसामानसँगै बसे ।

And Dauid said vnto his men, Girde euery man his sword about him. And they girded euery man his sworde: Dauid also girded his sworde. And about foure hundreth men went vp after Dauid, and two hundreth abode by the cariage.

14 तर ती जवान मानिसहरूमध्ये एक जनाले नाबालकी पत्‍नी अबीगेललाई भने । तिनले भने, “दाऊदले उजाड-स्‍थानबाट हाम्रा मालिकसँग भेट गर्न दूतहरू पठाए र तिनले उनीहरूको अपमान गरे ।

Nowe one of the seruantes tolde Abigail Nabals wife, saying, Beholde, Dauid sent messengers out of the wildernesse to salute our master, and he rayled on them.

15 तापनि ती मानिसहरू हामीप्रति धेरै असल थिए । हामी बाहिर चरनमा हुँदा तिनीहरूसँग जाँदा र हामीलाई कुनै हानि भएन र कुनै कुरा पनि गुामएनौं ।

Notwithstanding the men were very good vnto vs, and we had no displeasure, neither missed we any thing as long as we were conuersant with them, when we were in the fieldes.

16 हामीले तिनीहरूसँगै भेडाहरू चराउँदा तिनीहरू हाम्रा निम्ति दिन र रात दुवै समयमा पर्खाल नै भएका थिए ।

They were as a wall vnto vs both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping sheepe.

17 यसकारण यो कुरा जान्‍नुहोस् र तपाईंले के गर्नुपर्ने हो सो विचार गर्नुहोस्, किनकि हाम्रा मालिक र उहाँका सारा घरानाका विरुद्ध खराब षड्यन्त्र रचिएको छ । उहाँ यस्तो वेकामको मानिस हुनुहुन्‍छ, उहासँग कसैले वहस गर्न सक्दैन ।”

Nowe therefore take heede, and see what thou shalt doe: for euill will surely come vpon our master, and vpon all his familie: for he is so wicked that a man can not speake to him.

18 अनि अबीगेलले हतार गरिन् र दुई सय रोटी, दुई मशक दाखमद्य, पहिले नै तयार पाँच वटा भेडा, आठ पाथी सुकेको अन्‍न, एक सय झुप्‍पा किशमिश, दुई सय डल्ला सुकेको नेभारा लिए र तिनलाई गधामाथि राखिन् ।

Then Abigail made haste, and tooke two hundreth cakes, and two bottels of wine, and fiue sheepe ready dressed, and fiue measures of parched corne, and an hundreth frailes of raisins, and two hundreth of figs, and laded them on asses.

19 तिनले आफ्ना जवान मानिसहरूलाई भनिन्, “मेरो अगिअगि जाओ र म तिमीहरूको पछिपछि आउनेछु ।” तर तिनले आफ्नो पति नाबाललाई यो कुरा भनिनन् ।

Then she said vnto her seruants, Go ye before me: beholde, I will come after you: yet she tolde not her husband Nabal.

20 जसै तिनी आफ्‍नो गधामा चढिन् र पहाडको बिचतिर आइपुगिन्, दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू तिनीकहाँ तल आए र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भेटिन् ।

And as shee rode on her asse, shee came downe by a secret place of the mountaine, and beholde, Dauid and his men came downe against her, and she met them.

21 दाऊदले भनेका थिए, “निश्‍चय नै यो मानिसँग उजाड-स्‍थानमा भएका सबै थोकलाई मैले व्यार्थमा सुरक्षा दिएको रहेछु, ताकि उसँग भएका कुनै पनि कुरा हराएनन् र उसले मलाई असलको सट्टामा खराब फिर्ता दिएको छ ।

And Dauid said, In deede I haue kept all in vaine that this fellow had in the wildernesse, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained vnto him: for he hath requited me euill for good.

22 भोलि बिहानसम्म यससँग भएका सबै पुरुषहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई पनि मैले छोडें भने म दाऊदलाई यस्‍तै र यो भन्दा बढ्ता होस् ।”

So and more also doe God vnto the enemies of Dauid: for surely I will not leaue of all that he hath, by the dawning of the day, any that pisseth against the wall.

23 जब अबीगेलले दाऊदलाई देखिन्, तिनी हतार गरिन् र आफ्नो गधाबाट ओर्लिन् र दाऊदको सामु तिनले शिर तल गरिन् र जमिनमा घोप्टो परिन् ।

And when Abigail sawe Dauid, she hasted and lighted off her asse, and fell before Dauid on her face, and bowed her selfe to the ground,

24 तिनी दाऊदको पाउमा परिन् र भनिन्, “हे मेरो मालिक, सारा दोष ममाथि नै परोस् । कृपया आफ्नो दासीलाई तपाईंसँग बोल्न दिनुहोस् र आफ्‍नो दासीको कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् ।

And fel at his feete, and sayd, Oh, my lord, I haue committed the iniquitie, and I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake to thee, and heare thou the wordes of thine handmayde.

25 मेरो मालिकले यो वेकामको मानिस नाबालको ख्याल नगर्नुहोस्, किनकि जस्‍तो उसको नाम छ ऊ त्यस्तै छ । उसको नाम नाबाल हो र उससँग मूर्खता छ । तर मेरो मालिकले पठाउनुभएका हजुरका जवान मानिसहरूलाई म तपाईंकी दासीले देखिन ।

Let not my lorde, I pray thee, regard this wicked man Nabal: for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and follie is with him: but I thine handmayde sawe not the yong men of my lord whom thou sentest.

26 अब, हे मेरा मालिक, जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ र हजूर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई रक्‍तपात गर्न र आफ्नो शत्रुमाथि आफ्‍नै हातले बद्‍ला लिनबाट रोक्‍नुभएको छ, अब हे मेरा मालिक, तपाईंका सत्रुहरू र तपाईंको खराबी गर्न खोज्‍ने सबै नाबालजस्तै होऊन् ।

Now therefore my lord, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth (the Lord, I say, that hath withholden thee from comming to shedde blood, and that thine hand should not saue thee) so now thine enemies shall be as Nabal, and they that intend to doe my lord euill.

27 अब तपाईंकी दासीले ल्याएकी यो उपहार मेरो मालिकका पछि हिंड्‍ने जवान मानिसहरूलाई दिइयोस् ।

And now, this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought vnto my lorde, let it be giuen vnto the yong men, that follow my lord.

28 कृपया आफ्‍नो दासीको अपराध क्षमा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि परमप्रभुले निश्‍चय नै मेरो मालिकको निम्ति अटल घराना बनाउनुहुनेछ, किनकि मेरो मालिकले परमप्रभुको युद्ध लडिरहनुभएको छ । र तपाईं जिवित बएसम्‍म तपाईंमा कुनै खराबी भेट्टाइने छैन ।

I pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of thine handmaide: for the Lord will make my lorde a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battels of the Lord, and none euill hath bene found in thee in all thy life.

29 तपाईंको ज्यान लिनलाई मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई लखेटे तापनि मेरो मालिकको जीवनलाई परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्‍वरले जीवितहरूको मुट्ठामा बाँध्‍नुहुनेछ । अनि उहाँले तपाईंका शत्रुहरूको जीवनलाई घुँयत्रोको पाकेटबाट फालेझैं फाल्‍नुहुनेछ ।

Yet a man hath risen vp to persecute thee, and to seeke thy soule, but the soule of my lorde shall be bounde in the bundel of life with the Lord thy God: and the soule of thine enemies shall God cast out, as out of the middle of a sling.

30 परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको हरेक कुरा उहाँले मेरो मालिकको निम्ति पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ, र तपाईंलाई इस्राएलमाथि अगुवा नियुक्‍त गर्नुभएको छ ।

And when the Lord shall haue done to my lord al the good that he hath promised thee, and shall haue made thee ruler ouer Israel,

31 तपाईंले निर्दोष रगत बगाउनुभएको वा मेरो मालिकले आफ्‍नो उद्धार आफैले गरेकोले यो तपाईंको निम्ति पछुताउनुपर्ने बोझ हुनेछैन । किनकि परमप्रभुले मेरो मालिकको निम्ति असल गर्नुहुँदा आफ्नो दासीलाई पनि सम्झनुहोस् ।”

Then shall it be no griefe vnto thee, nor offence of minde vnto my lord, that he hath not shed blood causelesse, nor that my lorde hath not preserued him selfe: and when the Lord shall haue dealt well with my lorde, remember thine handmaide.

32 दाऊदले अबीगेललाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले तिमीलाई आशिष् देऊन्, जसले आज मलाई भेट्न तिमीलाई पठाउनुभयो ।

Then Dauid said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meete me.

33 तिम्रो बुद्धि धन्यको होस् र तिमी धन्यकी हौ, किनभने तिमीले आज मलाई रक्‍तपात र आफ्नो निम्ति आफ्नै हातले बद्‍ला लिनबाट बचाएकी छ्यौ!

And blessed be thy counsel, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from comming to shed blood, and that mine hand hath not saued me.

34 किनकि साँचो भन्दा, जस्तो परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मलाई तिमीलाई चोट पुर्‍याउनबाट बचाउनुभयो, तिमी मलाई भेट्‍न नआएको भए भोलि बिहानसम्ममा नाबालसँग एउटा पुरुष बालक पनि बाँकी रहने थिएन ।”

For in deede, as the Lord God of Israel liueth, who hath kept me backe from hurting thee, except thou haddest hasted and met mee, surely there had not bene left vnto Nabal by the dawning of the day, any that pisseth against the wall.

35 त्यसैले तिनले जे ल्याएकी थिइन् सो तिनको हातबाट दाऊदले ग्रहण गरे । तिनले उनलाई भने, “आफ्नो घरमा शान्तिसँग जाऊ । हेर, मैले तिम्रो कुरा सुनेको छु र तिमीलाई स्वीकार गरेको छु ।”

Then Dauid receiued of her hande that which she had brought him, and said to her, Goe vp in peace to thine house: beholde, I haue heard thy voyce, and haue graunted thy petition.

36 अबीगेल नाबालकहाँ फर्केर गइन् । हेर, उसले आफ्नो घरमा राजाको भोजजस्तै भोज दिइरहेको थियो । नाबालको हृदय आफैमा हर्षित थियो, किनकि उसले धेरै पिएको थियो । त्यसैले तिनले भोलिपल्‍ट बिहान नभएसम्म उसलाई केही पनि भनिनन् ।

So Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he made a feast in his house, like the feast of a King, and Nabals heart was merie within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore shee tolde him nothing, neither lesse nor more, vntil the morning arose.

37 बिहान यसो भयो, जब नाबाललाई मद्यले छोडेको थियो, तब उसकी पत्‍नीले उसलाई यी कुराहरू भनिन् । उसको हृदय आफैभित्र मर्‍यो र ऊ ढुङ्गाजस्तो भयो ।

Then in the morning when the wine was gone out of Nabal, his wife tolde him those wordes, and his heart died within him, and he was like a stone.

38 दस दिनपछि परमप्रभुले नाबाललाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो ताकि ऊ मर्‍यो ।

And about ten dayes after, the Lord smote Nabal, that he dyed.

39 जब नाबाल मर्‍यो भन्‍ने दाऊदले सुने, तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु धन्यको होऊन्, जसले नाबालको हातबाट आएको मेरो अपमानको मामला लिनुभएको छ र आफ्नो दासलाई खराबी गर्नबाट बचाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले नाबालको दुष्‍ट कामलाई उसैको आफ्‍नै शिरमा खन्‍याउनुभएको छ ।” तब दाऊदले अबीगेललाई आफ्‍नी पत्‍नीको रूपमा लिन कुरा गर्न मानिसहरू पठाए ।

Now when Dauid heard, that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord that hath iudged the cause of my rebuke of ye hand of Nabal, and hath kept his seruant from euil: for the Lord hath recompensed the wickednesse of Nabal vpon his owne head. Also Dauid sent to commune with Abigail to take her to his wife.

40 जब दाऊदका सेवकहरू कार्मेलमा अबीगेलकहाँ आए, तब तिनीहरूले उनीसँग कुरा गरे र भने, “दाऊदले तपाईंलाई आफ्‍नो पत्‍नीको रूपमा लिन हामीलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।”

And whe the seruants of Dauid were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake vnto her, saying, Dauid sent vs to thee, to take thee to his wife.

41 उनी उठिन्, आफ्‍नो अनुहार जमिनमा घोप्टो पारिन् र भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंकी दासी मेरो मालिकको सेवकहरूका खुट्टा धुने दासी हुँ ।”

And she arose, and bowed her selfe on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmayde be a seruant to wash the feete of the seruants of my lord.

42 अबीगेलले हतार गरिन् र उठिन् र आफूसँगै लान आफ्‍ना पाँच जना दासीहरूसँगै गधामा बसिन्, अनि उनी दाऊदको दूतहरूको पछि लागिन् र तिनकी पत्‍नी भइन् ।

And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode vpon an asse, and her fiue maides folowed her, and she went after the messengers of Dauid, and was his wife.

43 यति बेला दाऊदले यिजरेलकी अहीनोमलाई पनि पत्‍नीको रूपमा लिएका थिए । ती दुवै जना तिनकी पत्‍नीहरू भए ।

Dauid also tooke Ahinoam of Izreel, and they were both his wiues.

44 साथै शाऊलले आफ्नी छोरी, दाऊदकी पत्‍नी मीकललाई गलीमका लेशका छोरा पल्तिएललाई दिएका थिए ।

Now Saul had giuen Michal his daughter Dauids wife to Phalti the sonne of Laish, which was of Gallim.
