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 their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy 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 Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever.
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 ।
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that were mediums, 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 gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 जब शाऊलले पलिश्तीहरूको फौज देखे, तब तिनी डराए र तिनको हृदय अति नै डरायो ।
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 शाऊलले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे तर परमप्रभुले न सपनामा, न त ऊरीममा, न त अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा नै कुनै जवाफ दिनुभयो ।
And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, 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 said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that is a medium, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a medium at Endor.
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 went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine to me as a medium, and bring up for me, whom I shall name to thee.
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, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that are mediums, and the wizards, out of the land: Why then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 शाऊलले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाए र भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमीलाई यो कुराको निम्ति कुनै दण्ड हुनेछैन ।”
And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 तब ती स्त्रीले भनिन्, “म तपाईंको निम्ति कसलाई ल्याउँ?” शाऊलले भने, “मेरो निम्ति शमूएललाई ल्याइदेऊ ।”
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up 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 when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art 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, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said to Saul, 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 is his form? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
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 to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am grievously distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God hath departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known to me what I shall do.
16 शमूएलले भने, “तब परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई छोड्नुभएको र उहाँ नै तिम्रो शत्रु हुनुभएको हुनाले तिमीले मलाई के सोध्छौ?
Then said Samuel, Why then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD hath departed from thee, and hath become thy enemy?
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 hath done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD hath torn the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:
18 किनभने तिमीले परमप्रभुको आवाज पालन गरेनौ र अमालेकमाथि उहाँको भयङ्कर क्रोध पुरा गरेनौ, यसकारण उहाँले तिमीलाई आज यसो गर्नुभएको छ ।
Because thou didst not obey the voice of the LORD, nor execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing to thee this day.
19 परमप्रभुले तिमीसँगै इस्राएललाई पलिश्तीहरूको हातमा सुम्पनुहुनेछ, र भोलि तिमी र तिम्रो छोराहरू मसँग हुनेछौ । परमप्रभुले इस्राएको फौजलाई पनि पलिश्तीहरूको हातमा दिनुहुनेछ ।”
Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand 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 ।
Then Saul fell immediately all along on the earth, and was exceedingly afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the 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 came to Saul, and saw that he was greatly troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spoke 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 ।”
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy 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 refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened to their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
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 calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it:
25 उनले यो शाऊल र तिनका सेवकहरूकहाँ ल्याइन् र तिनीहरूले खाए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू उठे र त्यही रातमा निस्किए ।
And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they arose, and went away that night.
