१ शमूएल 28
1 ती दिनहरूमा पलिश्तीहरूले इस्रएलसँग युद्ध गर्न आफ्नो फौज सँगै भेला पारे । आकीशले दाऊदलाई भने, “तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरू मसँगै सेनामा जानेछौ भन्ने जानी राख ।”
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that you shall go forth to battle with me, [you], and your men.
2 दाऊदले आकीशलाई भने, “तपाईंको दासले के गर्न सक्छ भन्ने तपाईंले जान्नु हुनेछ ।” आकीशले दाऊदलाई भने, “त्यसैले म तिमीलाई तिम्रो जीवनकाल भरि नै मेरो अङ्गरक्षक बनाउनेछु ।”
And David said to Anchus, Thus now you shall know what your servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So will I make you captain of my body-guard continually.
3 यति बेला शमूएल मरिसकेका थिए, र सारा इस्राएलले तिनको निम्ति विलाप गरेका र तिनलाई आफ्नै सहर रामामा दफन गरेका थिए । शाऊलले मृतक र आत्माहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरूलाई देशमा निषेध गरेका थिए ।
And Samuel died, and all Israel lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 तब पलिश्तीहरू आफूलाई एकसाथ भेला पारे र शूनेममा आएर छाउनी हाले । अनि शाऊलले सबै इस्राएललाई एकसाथ भेला पारे र तिनीहरूले गिल्बोमा छाउनी हाले ।
And the Philistines assemble themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.
5 जब शाऊलले पलिश्तीहरूको फौज देखे, तब तिनी डराए र तिनको हृदय अति नै डरायो ।
And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.
6 शाऊलले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे तर परमप्रभुले न सपनामा, न त ऊरीममा, न त अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा नै कुनै जवाफ दिनुभयो ।
And Saul enquired of the Lord; and the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by prophets.
7 तब शाऊलले आफ्नो सेवकहरूलाई भने, “मृतकसँग कुरा गर्ने एक जना स्त्री मेरो निम्ति खोजेर ल्याओ, ताकि त्यसकहाँ म जान र त्यसको सल्लाह खोज्न सकूँ ।” तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, मृतकसँग कुरा गर्न सक्ने दाबी गर्ने एक जना स्त्री एन्दोरमा छिन् ।”
Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.
8 शाऊलले आफू भेष बदले र अर्कै पोशाक लगाएर, तिनी र तिनीसँग भएका दुई जना मानिसहरू गए । तिनीहरू त्यो स्त्री कहाँ राती गए । तिनले भने, “म बिन्ती गर्छु मेरो निम्ति आत्मासँग कुरा गरि देऊ र मैले जसको नाउँ भन्छु त्यो मलाई ल्याइदेऊ ।”
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray you, by the divining spirit within you, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to you.
9 स्त्रीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, शाऊलले के गर्नुभएको छ सो तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छ, उनले मृतक वा आत्माहरूसँग कुरा गर्नेहरूलाई कसरी देशबाट निष्काषण गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसैले मलाई मर्नलाई किन मेरो जीवनलाई जालमा फसाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ?”
And the woman said to him, Behold now, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why do you spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
10 शाऊलले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाए र भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमीलाई यो कुराको निम्ति कुनै दण्ड हुनेछैन ।”
And Saul swore to her, and said, [As] the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon you on this account.
11 तब ती स्त्रीले भनिन्, “म तपाईंको निम्ति कसलाई ल्याउँ?” शाऊलले भने, “मेरो निम्ति शमूएललाई ल्याइदेऊ ।”
And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to you? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.
12 जब ती स्त्रीले शमूएल देखिन्, तब तिनले ठुलो सोरले चिच्याइन् र भनिन्, “तपाईंले मलाई किन छल गर्नुभयो? किनकि तपाईं नै शाऊल हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why have you deceived me? for you are Saul.
13 राजाले उनलाई भने, “नडराऊ । तिमीले के देख्छौ?” ती स्त्रीले शाऊललाई भनिन्, “पृथ्वीबाट एउटा देवता आइरहेको म देख्छु ।”
And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me whom you has seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 तिनले उनलाई भने, “त्यो कस्तो छ?” उनले भनिन्, “एउटा वृद्ध मानिस माथि आइरहेका छन् । यिनले खा्सटो ओढेका छन् ।” यिनी शमूएल हुन् भनी शाऊलले भनी बुझे र तिनले घोप्टो परेर दण्डवत गरे र आदर प्रकट गरे ।
And he said to her, What did you perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the earth, and he [was] clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to him.
15 शमूएलले शाऊललाई भने, “तिमीले किन मेरो शान्ति भङ्ग गर्यौ र मलाई माथि ल्यायौ?” शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “म अति नै व्याकुल छु, किनभने पलिश्तीहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध युद्ध गरिरहेका छन्, र परमेश्वरले मलाई छोड्नुभएको छ र मलाई न अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा न त सपनाहरूद्वारा नै जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ । यसकारण मैले तपाईंलाई बोलाएको हुँ, ताकि मैले के गर्नुपर्ने हो सो तपाईंले मलाई प्रकट गर्नुहोस् ।”
And Samuel said, Why have you troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets or by dreams: and now I have called you to tell me what I shall do.
16 शमूएलले भने, “तब परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई छोड्नुभएको र उहाँ नै तिम्रो शत्रु हुनुभएको हुनाले तिमीले मलाई के सोध्छौ?
And Samuel said, Why asked you me, whereas the Lord has departed from you, and taken part with your neighbour?
17 परमप्रभुले जे गर्छु भन्नुभएको छ सो उहाँले गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुले राज्यलाई तिम्रो हातबाट खोस्नुभएको छ र उहाँले अरू कसैलाई अर्थात् दाऊदलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
And the Lord has done to you, as the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend your kingdom out of your hand, and will give it to your neighbour David.
18 किनभने तिमीले परमप्रभुको आवाज पालन गरेनौ र अमालेकमाथि उहाँको भयङ्कर क्रोध पुरा गरेनौ, यसकारण उहाँले तिमीलाई आज यसो गर्नुभएको छ ।
because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord, and did not execute his fierce anger upon Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to you this day.
19 परमप्रभुले तिमीसँगै इस्राएललाई पलिश्तीहरूको हातमा सुम्पनुहुनेछ, र भोलि तिमी र तिम्रो छोराहरू मसँग हुनेछौ । परमप्रभुले इस्राएको फौजलाई पनि पलिश्तीहरूको हातमा दिनुहुनेछ ।”
And the Lord shall deliver Israel with you into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow you and your sons with you shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
20 तब शाऊल तुरुन्तै भूइँमा लम्पसार परेर लमतन्न परे र शमूएलको कुराले अति नै डराए । तिनमा कुनै बल नै थिएन, किनकि तिनले त्यो दिनभरि र रातमा पनि कुनै खाने कुरा खाएका थिएनन् ।
And Saul instantly fell at his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day, and all that night.
21 ती स्त्री शाऊलकहाँ आइन् र तिनी साह्रै ठुलो कष्टमा परेको देखिन्, उनलले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंकी दासीले तपाईंको कुरा सुनेकी छिन् । मेरो जीवनलाई मैले जोखिममा पारेको छु र तपाईंले भन्नुभएको कुरा पालन गरेकी छु ।
And the woman went in to Saul, and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now, your handmaid has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have heard the words which you has spoken to me.
22 यसकारण अब म तपाईंलाई बिन्ती गर्छु, तपाईंकी दासीको कुरा सुन्नुहोस् र तपाईंलाई थोरै खाने कुरा दिन अनुमति दिनुहोस् । खानुहोस् ताकि तपाईं बाटो जानुहुँदा तपाईंलाई शक्ति मिलोस् ।”
And now listen, I pray you, to the voice of your handmaid, and I will set before you a morsel of bread, and eat, and you shall be strengthened, for you will be going on your way.
23 तर शाऊलले इन्कार गरे र भने, “मैले खाने छैन ।” तर ती स्त्रीसहित तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई बाध्य बनाए र तिनले तिनीहरूको कुरा माने । त्यसैले तिनी भूइँबाट उठे र ओछ्यानमा बसे ।
But he would not eat; so his servants and the woman constrained him, and he listened to their voice, and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.
24 ती स्त्रीको घरमा पालेको एउटा बाछो थियो । उनले त्यसलाई हतार काटिन् । उनले पिठो लिइन् र मुछिन् अनि यसको अखमिरी रोटी पकाइन् ।
And the woman had a fat heifer in the house; and she hasted and killed it; and she took meal and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.
25 उनले यो शाऊल र तिनका सेवकहरूकहाँ ल्याइन् र तिनीहरूले खाए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू उठे र त्यही रातमा निस्किए ।
And she brought [the meat] before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed that night.
