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 ।
And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness 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 ।
And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep 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 ।
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
4 नाबालले उजाड-स्थानमा भेडाको ऊन कत्रँदैछन् भनी दाऊदले सुने ।
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
5 त्यसैले दाऊदले दस जना जवान मानिसलाई पठाए । दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसहरूलाई भने, “कार्मेलमा माथि जाओ, नाबालकहाँ जाओ र मेरो नाउँमा तिनलाई अभिवादन गर ।
And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
6 तिमीहरूले तिनलाई भन्नु, “समृद्धिमा जिउनुहोस् । तपाईंलाई शान्ति मिलोस्, तपाईंका घरानामा शान्ति छाओस् र तपाईंसँग भएका सबैलाई शान्ति होस् ।
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
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 ।
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, 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 ।”
Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 जब दाऊदका जवान मानिसहरू आइपुगे, तिनीहरूले यी सबै कुरा दाऊदको तर्फबाट नाबाललाई भने र प्रतिक्षा गरे ।
And when David’s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
10 नाबालले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “दाऊद को हुन् र यिशैका छोरा को हुन्? आजभोलि आफ्ना मालिकहरूबाट भाग्ने धेरै जना सेवकहरू छन् ।
And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every 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 have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
12 त्यसैले दाऊदका मानिसहरू फर्केर आए र भनिएका हरेक कुरा तिनलाई बताए ।
So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
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 David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
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 ।
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed 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 ।
But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
16 हामीले तिनीहरूसँगै भेडाहरू चराउँदा तिनीहरू हाम्रा निम्ति दिन र रात दुवै समयमा पर्खाल नै भएका थिए ।
They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
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 ।”
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak 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 took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
19 तिनले आफ्ना जवान मानिसहरूलाई भनिन्, “मेरो अगिअगि जाओ र म तिमीहरूको पछिपछि आउनेछु ।” तर तिनले आफ्नो पति नाबाललाई यो कुरा भनिनन् ।
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told 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 it was so, as she rode on the donkey, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down 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 ।
Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil 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 do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light 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 saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself 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 fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
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 lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
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 Yhwh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Yhwh hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
27 अब तपाईंकी दासीले ल्याएकी यो उपहार मेरो मालिकका पछि हिंड्ने जवान मानिसहरूलाई दिइयोस् ।
And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young 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, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for Yhwh will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of Yhwh, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
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 is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Yhwh thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling 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 it shall come to pass, when Yhwh shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over 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 ।”
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when Yhwh shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
32 दाऊदले अबीगेललाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई आशिष् देऊन्, जसले आज मलाई भेट्न तिमीलाई पठाउनुभयो ।
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Yhwh God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet 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 advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
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 very deed, as Yhwh God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light 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 ।”
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
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 ।
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
37 बिहान यसो भयो, जब नाबाललाई मद्यले छोडेको थियो, तब उसकी पत्नीले उसलाई यी कुराहरू भनिन् । उसको हृदय आफैभित्र मर्यो र ऊ ढुङ्गाजस्तो भयो ।
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38 दस दिनपछि परमप्रभुले नाबाललाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो ताकि ऊ मर्यो ।
And it came to pass about ten days after, that Yhwh smote Nabal, that he died.
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 ।
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Yhwh, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for Yhwh hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to 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 when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to 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 herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants 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 upon a donkey, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 यति बेला दाऊदले यिजरेलकी अहीनोमलाई पनि पत्नीको रूपमा लिएका थिए । ती दुवै जना तिनकी पत्नीहरू भए ।
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
44 साथै शाऊलले आफ्नी छोरी, दाऊदकी पत्नी मीकललाई गलीमका लेशका छोरा पल्तिएललाई दिएका थिए ।
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
