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 on Mount Gilboa.
2 पलिश्तीहरूले शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरूलाई नजिकैबाट खेदे । पलिश्तीहरूले तिनका छोराहरू जोनाथन, अबीनादाब र मल्कीशूअलाई मारे ।
The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 युद्ध शाऊलको विरुद्धमा निकै भारी पर्यो र धनुर्धारीहरूले तिनलाई भेट्टाए । तिनीहरूका कारणले गर्दा तिनी घोर पीडामा परे ।
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of 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 Saul said to his armour bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me!” But his armour bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 जब तिनका हतियार बोक्नेले शाऊल मरेको देखे, तिनी पनि त्यसैगरी आफ्नो तरवारमा उनिएर तिनीसँगै मरे ।
When his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on 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 with his three sons, his armour 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 ।
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 भोलिपल्ट यसो भयो, जब पलिश्तीहरू मृतकहरूलाई लूट्न आए तब तिनीहरूले शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरूलाई गिल्बो डाँडामा मृत फेला पारे ।
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 तिनीहरूले उनको शिर काटे, उनको हतियार लूटे र आफ्ना मूर्तीहरूका मन्दिरहरू र मानिसहरूकहाँ समाचार लैजानलाई पलिश्तीहरूका देशभरि दूतहरू पठाए ।
They cut off his head, stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols and to the people.
10 उनका हतियारलाई तिनीहरूले अश्तोरेतको मन्दिरमा राखे र तिनीहरूले उनको शरीरलाई बेथ-शानको सहरको पर्कालमा बाँधे ।
They put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
11 जब याबेश-गिलादका बासिन्दाहरूले पलिश्तीहरूले शाऊललाई गरेका कुरा सुने,
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what 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, went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they 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 ।
They took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
