१ शमूएल 31
1 यति बेला पलिश्तीहरूले इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूका सामुबाट भागे र गिल्बो डाँडामा मरे ।
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 पलिश्तीहरूले शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरूलाई नजिकैबाट खेदे । पलिश्तीहरूले तिनका छोराहरू जोनाथन, अबीनादाब र मल्कीशूअलाई मारे ।
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
3 युद्ध शाऊलको विरुद्धमा निकै भारी पर्यो र धनुर्धारीहरूले तिनलाई भेट्टाए । तिनीहरूका कारणले गर्दा तिनी घोर पीडामा परे ।
And the battle was severe against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was severely wounded by the archers.
4 तब शाऊलले आफ्नो हतियार बोक्नेलाई भने, “तेरो तरवार थुत र त्यसले मलाई छेडिदे । नत्रता यी बेखतनाहरू आउनेछन् र मलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्नेछन् ।” तर तिनका हतियार बोक्नेले त्यसो गरेन, किनकि ऊ साह्रै डराएका थियो । त्यसैले शाऊलले आफ्नै तरवार लिए र यसमाथि उनिए ।
Then said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 जब तिनका हतियार बोक्नेले शाऊल मरेको देखे, तिनी पनि त्यसैगरी आफ्नो तरवारमा उनिएर तिनीसँगै मरे ।
And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 यसरी शाऊल, तिनका तिन जना छोरा र तिनका हतियार बोक्ने मरे— यी मानिसहरू सबै त्यसै दिन मरे ।
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 जब मैदानको पारीपट्टि भएका इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र यर्दनको पारिपट्टि भएकाहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू भागेका, र शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरू मरेका देखे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सहरहरू छाडे र भागे, अनि पलिश्तीहरू आए र तिनीहरूमा बसोबास गरे ।
And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 भोलिपल्ट यसो भयो, जब पलिश्तीहरू मृतकहरूलाई लूट्न आए तब तिनीहरूले शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरूलाई गिल्बो डाँडामा मृत फेला पारे ।
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 तिनीहरूले उनको शिर काटे, उनको हतियार लूटे र आफ्ना मूर्तीहरूका मन्दिरहरू र मानिसहरूकहाँ समाचार लैजानलाई पलिश्तीहरूका देशभरि दूतहरू पठाए ।
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 उनका हतियारलाई तिनीहरूले अश्तोरेतको मन्दिरमा राखे र तिनीहरूले उनको शरीरलाई बेथ-शानको सहरको पर्कालमा बाँधे ।
And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 जब याबेश-गिलादका बासिन्दाहरूले पलिश्तीहरूले शाऊललाई गरेका कुरा सुने,
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 तब सबै लडाकु मानिसहरू उठे र रातभरि यात्रा गरेर गए अनि शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरूको शरीर बेथ-शानको पर्खालबाट ल्याए । तिनीहरू याबेशमा गए र तिनीहरूलाई जलाए ।
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका हड्डीहरू लिए र तिनलाई याबेशको झ्याउको रूखमुनि गाडे अनि तिनीहरू सात दिनसम्म उपवास बसे ।
And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
