१ शमूएल 26
1 जीपीहरू गिबामा शाऊलकहाँ आए र भने, “के दाऊद यशीमोन सामुन्नेको हकीलाहको पहाडमा लुकिरहेका छैनन्?”
And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
2 तब शाऊल उठे र इस्राएलका चुनिएका तिन हजार मानिसलाई आफूसित लिएर जीपको उजाड-स्थानमा दाऊदलाई खोज्न तल गए ।
Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 शाऊलले हकीलाहको पहाडमा छाउनी हाले, जुन यशीमोनको अगाडीतिर बाटोको छेउमा छ । तर दाऊदचाहिं उजाड-स्थानमा बसिरहेका थिए र शाऊल तिनको पछिपछि उजाड-स्थानमा आएको तिनले देखे ।
And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 त्यसैले शाऊल साँच्चै नै आएका थिए भनी थाहा पाउनलाई दाऊदले गुप्तचरहरू पठाए ।
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
5 दाऊद उठे र शाऊलले छाउनी हालेको ठाउँमा गए । शाऊल र तिनका फौजका सेनापति नेरका छोरा अबनेर कहाँ सुतेका ठाउँ देखे । शाऊल छाउनीमा सुते र मानिसहरूले तिनका वरिपरि छाउनी हालेका थिए र सबै मस्त निद्रामा थिए ।
And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
6 तब दाऊदले हित्ती अहीमेलेक, योआबका भाइ सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैलाई भने, “शाऊलको छाउनीमा तल मसँग को जानेछ?” अबीशैले भने, “म! म तपाईंसँग जानेछु ।”
Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.
7 त्यसैले दाऊद र अबीशै राती फौज भएको ठाउँतिर गए । शाऊल आफ्नो भाला आफ्नो शिर नजिकै भूइँमा गाडेर छाउनीभित्र सुतिरहेका थिए । अबनेर र तिनका सिपाहीहरू तिनको वरिपरि सुतेका थिए ।
So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
8 अबीशैले दाऊदलाई भने, “परमेश्वरले आज तपाईंको शत्रुलाई तपाइईंको हातमा दिनुभएको छ । कृपया, तिनलाई एकै प्रहारमा भालाले भूइँमा रोप्न मलाई दिनुहोस् । म तिनलाई दोस्रो पटक प्रहार गर्दिनँ ।”
Then said Abishai to David, God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day: now therefore let me strike him, I pray you, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not strike him the second time.
9 दाऊदले अबीशैलाई भने, “तिनलाई नाश नगर । किनकि परमप्रभुको अभिषिक्त जनमाथि हात उठाएर कोचाहिं दोषरहित हुन सक्छ?”
And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?
10 दाऊदले भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभुले नै तिनलाई मार्नुहुनेछ वा मर्नलाई तिनको दिन आउनेछ वा तिनी युद्धमा जानेछन् र नाश हुनेछन् ।
David said furthermore, As the LORD lives, the LORD shall strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
11 परमप्रभुको अभिषिक्त जनामाथि मैले आफ्नो हात उठाउने कुरा उहाँले दूर गर्नुभएको होस् । तर अब म तिमीलाई अनुरोध गर्छु, तिनको शिरमा भएको भाला र पानीको सुराही लेऊ र हामी जाऔं ।”
The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray you, take you now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
12 त्यसैले दाऊदले भाला र पानीको सुराही शाऊलको शिरनेरबाट लिए र तिनीहरू गए । तिनीहरूलाई कसैले देखेन वा यो कसैले थाहा पाएन, न त कोही ब्युँझिए, किनकि तिनीहरू सबै मस्त निदाएका थिए, किनकि परमप्रभुबाट आएको गहिरो निद्रा तिनीहरूमाथि परेको थियो ।
So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they got them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
13 तब दाऊद पारिपट्टि गए र टाढा पहाडको टाकुरमा खडा भए । तिनीहरू बिच लामो दूरी थियो ।
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill far off; a great space being between them:
14 दाऊदले मानिसहरू र नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई कराए । तिनले भने, “ए अबनेर के तिमीले जवाफ दिंदैनौ?” तब अबनेरले जवाफ दिए र भने, “राजामाथि कराउने तिमी को हौ?”
And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answer you not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who are you that cry to the king?
15 दाऊदले अबनेरलाई भने, “के तिमी साहसी मानिस होइनौ? इस्राएलमा तिमी जस्तो को छ? तिमीले आफ्नो मालिक राजाको किन हेरचाह गरेनौ? किनकि तिम्रो मालिक राजालाई मार्न कोही आयो ।
And David said to Abner, Are not you a valiant man? and who is like to you in Israel? wherefore then have you not kept your lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king your lord.
16 तिमीले गरेको यो कुरा ठीक छैन । जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमी मर्न योग्यका छौ किनभने तिमीले परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त जन तिम्रो मालिकको हेरचाह गरेका छैनौ । राजाको शिरनेर भएको भाला र पानीको सुराही कहाँ छ, हेर!”
This thing is not good that you have done. As the LORD lives, all of you are worthy to die, because all of you have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
17 शाऊलले दाऊदको सोर चिने र भने, “ए मेरो छोरा दाऊद, के यो तिम्रो सोर हो?” दाऊदले भने, “हो मेरो मालिक, राजा, यो मेरो सोर हो ।”
And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this your voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
18 तिनले भने, “मेरो मालिकले आफ्नो दासको किन खेदो गर्नुहुन्छ? मैले के गरेको छु? मेरो हातमा के खराबी छ?
And he said, Wherefore does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
19 यसकारण अब, म तपाईंलाई बिन्ती गर्छु, मेरो मालिक राजाले आफ्नो दासको कुरा सुन्नुहोस् । परमप्रभुले नै तपाईंलाई मेरो विरुद्धमा उक्साउनुभएको हो भने, उहाँले बलिदान ग्रहण गर्नुभएको होस् । तर यो मानवजाति हो भने, तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु श्रापित होऊन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई आज बाहिर धपाएका छन्, ताकि म परमप्रभुको उत्तराधिकारमा रहन नसकौं । तिनीहरूले मलाई भनेका छन्, 'अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गर्न जाऊ ।'
Now therefore, I pray you, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
20 यसकारण अभ, मेरो रगत परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट टाढा पृथ्वीमा नबगोस् । किनभने इस्राएलका राजा शिकारीले तित्रालाई पहाडहरूमा खेदेझैं एउटा उपियाँलाई खोज्न निस्केर आएका छन् ।”
Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one does hunt a partridge in the mountains.
21 तब शाऊलले भने, “मैले पाप गरेको छु । ए मेरा छोरा दाऊद फर्क । किनकि अब तिम्रो हानि गर्नेछैन, किनभने तिम्रो दृष्टिमा मेरो जीवन बहुमूल्य थियो । हेर, मैले मूर्खता गरेको छु र धेरै ठुलो गल्ती गरेको छु ।”
Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do you harm, because my soul was precious in your eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
22 दाऊदले जवाफ दिए र भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, हे राजा, तपाईंको भाला यहाँ छ! जवान मानिसमध्ये एक जना यता आओस् र यसलाई तपाईंकहाँ लैजाओस् ।
And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
23 हरेक मानिसलाई आफ्नो धार्मिकता र विश्वस्तताको निम्ति परमप्रभुले नै इनाम दिनुभएको होस् । किनभने परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई आज मेरो हातमा दिनुभयो, तर मैले उहाँको अभिषिक्त जनलाई प्रहार गरिनँ ।
The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.
24 हेर्नुहोस्, आज मेरो दृष्टिमा जसरी तपाईंको जीवन बहुमूल्य थियो, त्यसरी नै मेरो जीवन परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा धेरै मूल्यवान होस् र उहाँले नै मलाई मेरा सबै कष्टहरूबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको होस् ।
And, behold, as your life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
25 तब शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “ए मेरा छोरा दाऊद, तिमीलाई आशिष् मिलोस्! तिमीले निश्चय नै ठुला कुराहरू गर्नेछौ र तिनमा तिमी सफल हुनेछौ ।” त्यसैले दाऊद आफ्नो बाटो लागे र शाऊल आफ्नै ठाउँतिर फर्के ।
Then Saul said to David, Blessed be you, my son David: you shall both do great things, and also shall still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
