२ शमूएल 1

1 शाऊलको मृत्युपछि अमालेकीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरेर दाऊद फर्के र सिक्लगमा दुई दिनसम्म बसे ।

Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.

2 तेस्रो दिनमा, शाऊलको छाउनीबाट एक जना मानिस लुगा च्यातेर र शिरमा धुलो छरेर आए । जब तिनी दाऊदकहाँ आए, तब तिनले आफ्‍नो अनुहार भुईंमा घोप्‍टो पारे र आफूलाई लमतन्‍न पारे ।

Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.

3 दाऊदले तिनलाई सोधे, “तिमी कहाँबाट आएको हौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म इस्राएलको छाउनीबाट उम्केर भएको ।”

And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”

4 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “कृपया मलाई भन, के के भएका छन्।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “मानिसहरू युद्धबाट भागे । धेरै जना ढलेका छन् र धेरै जना मरेका छन् । शाऊल र उनका छोरा जोनाथन पनि मरेका छन् ।”

And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”

5 दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसलाई भने, “शाऊल र उनका छोरा जोनाथन मरेका छन् भनेर तिमीलाई कसरी थाहा भयो?”

And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”

6 ती जवान मानिसले जवाफ दिए, “म संयोगवश गिल्बो डाँडामा पुगें र त्यहाँ शाऊल आफ्नो भालामा उनिएका थिए अनि रथहरू र घडचढीहरूले उनलाई भेट्न लागेका थिए ।

And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.

7 शाऊलले वरिपरि हेरे र मलाई देखे र मलाई बोलाए । मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म यहाँ छु ।'

And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”

8 उनले मलाई भने, 'तँ को होस्?' मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म अमालेकी हुँ ।'

he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”

9 उनले मलाई भने, “मेरो छेउमा आएर मलाई मार्, किनकि म ठुलो पीडाले मलाई समातेको छ, तर ममा अझै जीवन छ ।'

And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”

10 त्यसैले म उनको छेउमा गएँ र उनलाई मारे, किनभने उनी ढलेपछि बाँच्‍ने छैनन् भन्‍ने मैले थाहा पाएँ । त्यसपछि मैले उनको शिरको शिरपेच र हातको बाजु लिएँ र हजुर मेरो मलिकहाँ ल्याएको छु ।”

And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”

11 त्यसपछि दाऊदले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसहरूले त्यसै गरे ।

Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.

12 तिनीहरूले शाऊल, उनका छोरा जोनाथन, परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू र इस्राएलको घरानाको निम्ति विलाप गरे, रोए र साँझसम्म उपवास बसे, किनभने तिनीहरू तरवारद्वारा नाश भएका थिए ।

And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

13 दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसलाई सोधे, “तँ कहाँबाट आएको होस्?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म एक जना विदेशी अमालेकीको छोरा हुँ ।”

And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”

14 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “पमरप्रभुको अभिषिक्‍त राजालाई तेरो आफ्‍नै हातले मार्न तँलाई किन डर लागेन?”

And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”

15 दाऊदले आफ्‍ना जवानमध्ये एक जनालाई बोलाएर भने, “जाऊ र यसलाई मार् ।” त्यसैले त्यो मानिस गयो र तिनलाई प्रहार गर्‍यो र ती अमालेकी मरे ।

And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.

16 त्यसपछि दऊदले त्यो मृतक अमालेकीलाई भने, “तेरो रगत तेरै शिरमा परोस् किनभने तेरै मुखले तेरो विरुद्ध गवाही दिएको र भनेको छ, 'मैले परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्‍त राजालाई मारेको छु' ।”

And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”

17 त्यसपछि दाऊदले शाऊल र जोनाथनको मृत्‍युमा यो विलापको गित गाए ।

Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.

18 तिनले यहूदाका सन्तानलाई यो विलापको गित सिकाउन हुकुम दिए, जसलाई याशारको पुस्तकमा लिखिएको छः

(And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:

19 “ए इस्राएल तिम्रो महिमा मृत छ, तिम्रो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा मारिएको छ । वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्!

The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?

20 यो कुरा गातमा नभन, यसलाई अश्कलोनका गल्तीहरूमा घोषणा नगर, ताकि पलिश्‍तीहरूका छोरीहरू रमाउन नपाउन्, ताकि बेखतनाका छोरीहरूले उत्सव मनाउन नसकुन् ।

Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.

21 ए गोल्बि डाँडा, तँमाथि कुनै शीत वा झरी नपरोस्, न त भेटीको निम्ति अन्‍न दिने मैदान नै होस्, किनकि त्यहाँ वीरहरूका ढाल अशुद्ध पारिएको छ । अब उप्रान्त शाऊलका ढालहरूमा तेल लगाइने छैन ।

O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.

22 मारिएकाहरूको रगतबाट, वीरहरूका शरीरबाट जोनाथनका धानु पछि फर्किएन र शाऊलका तरवार रित्तो फर्केन ।

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.

23 शाऊल र जोनाथन जीवनमा प्रेमिलो र कृपालु थिए र आफ्‍नो मृत्‍युमा तिनीहरू छुटेनन् । तिनीहरू गिद्धभन्दा द्रूत र सिंहभन्दा बलिया थिए ।

Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

24 ए इस्राएलकी छोरीहरूको शाऊलको निम्ति रोओ जसले तिमीहरूलाई गरगहना साथै बैजनी रङ्को पहिरन पहिराइदिए र जसले तिमीहरूका लुगामा सुनका गहनाहरू लगाइदिए

O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.

25 युद्धको बिचमा वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्! जोनाथन तिम्रो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा मारिएका छन् ।

How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?

26 ए मेरो भाइ जोनाथन म तिम्रो निम्ति व्याकुल भएको छु । तिमी मेरो निम्ति साह्रै प्रिय थियौ । मप्रति तिम्रो प्रेम अद्भूत थियो, स्‍त्रीको प्रेमलाई नै माथ गर्ने थियो ।

I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.

27 वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्, र युद्धका हतियारहरू कसरी नष्‍ट भएका छन् ।”

How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
