१ शमूएल 31
1 यति बेला पलिश्तीहरूले इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूका सामुबाट भागे र गिल्बो डाँडामा मरे ।
And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
2 पलिश्तीहरूले शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरूलाई नजिकैबाट खेदे । पलिश्तीहरूले तिनका छोराहरू जोनाथन, अबीनादाब र मल्कीशूअलाई मारे ।
and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
3 युद्ध शाऊलको विरुद्धमा निकै भारी पर्यो र धनुर्धारीहरूले तिनलाई भेट्टाए । तिनीहरूका कारणले गर्दा तिनी घोर पीडामा परे ।
And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him — men with bow — and he is pained greatly 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 ।
and Saul saith to the bearer of his weapons, 'Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come — these uncircumcised — and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me;' and the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it.
5 जब तिनका हतियार बोक्नेले शाऊल मरेको देखे, तिनी पनि त्यसैगरी आफ्नो तरवारमा उनिएर तिनीसँगै मरे ।
And the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and he falleth — he also — on his sword, and dieth with him;
6 यसरी शाऊल, तिनका तिन जना छोरा र तिनका हतियार बोक्ने मरे— यी मानिसहरू सबै त्यसै दिन मरे ।
and Saul dieth, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, on that 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 they see — the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan — that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell in them.
8 भोलिपल्ट यसो भयो, जब पलिश्तीहरू मृतकहरूलाई लूट्न आए तब तिनीहरूले शाऊल र तिनका छोराहरूलाई गिल्बो डाँडामा मृत फेला पारे ।
And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find 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 ।
and they cut off his head, and strip off his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim tidings [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 place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and his body they have fixed on the wall of Beth-Shan.
11 जब याबेश-गिलादका बासिन्दाहरूले पलिश्तीहरूले शाऊललाई गरेका कुरा सुने,
And they hear regarding it — the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead — that which the Philistines have 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 ।
and all the men of valour arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come in to Jabesh, and burn them there,
13 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका हड्डीहरू लिए र तिनलाई याबेशको झ्याउको रूखमुनि गाडे अनि तिनीहरू सात दिनसम्म उपवास बसे ।
and they take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
