1 शाऊलको मृत्युपछि अमालेकीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरेर दाऊद फर्के र सिक्लगमा दुई दिनसम्म बसे ।
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in 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 ।
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 दाऊदले तिनलाई सोधे, “तिमी कहाँबाट आएको हौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म इस्राएलको छाउनीबाट उम्केर भएको ।”
And David said to him, From where come you? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
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, How went the matter? I pray you, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5 दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसलाई भने, “शाऊल र उनका छोरा जोनाथन मरेका छन् भनेर तिमीलाई कसरी थाहा भयो?”
And David said to the young man that told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
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 young man that told him said, As I happened by chance on mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and, see, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 शाऊलले वरिपरि हेरे र मलाई देखे र मलाई बोलाए । मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म यहाँ छु ।'
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 उनले मलाई भने, 'तँ को होस्?' मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म अमालेकी हुँ ।'
And he said to me, Who are you? And I answered 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 ।'
He said to me again, Stand, I pray you, on me, and slay me: for anguish is come on me, because my life is yet whole 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 ।”
So I stood on him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.
11 त्यसपछि दाऊदले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसहरूले त्यसै गरे ।
Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that 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 even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were 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 young man that told him, From where are you? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “पमरप्रभुको अभिषिक्‍त राजालाई तेरो आफ्‍नै हातले मार्न तँलाई किन डर लागेन?”
And David said to him, How were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?
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 David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall on him. And he smote him that 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 be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.
17 त्यसपछि दाऊदले शाऊल र जोनाथनको मृत्‍युमा यो विलापको गित गाए ।
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 तिनले यहूदाका सन्तानलाई यो विलापको गित सिकाउन हुकुम दिए, जसलाई याशारको पुस्तकमा लिखिएको छः
(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19 “ए इस्राएल तिम्रो महिमा मृत छ, तिम्रो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा मारिएको छ । वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्!
The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 यो कुरा गातमा नभन, यसलाई अश्कलोनका गल्तीहरूमा घोषणा नगर, ताकि पलिश्‍तीहरूका छोरीहरू रमाउन नपाउन्, ताकि बेखतनाका छोरीहरूले उत्सव मनाउन नसकुन् ।
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
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 ।
You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, on you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though 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 mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not 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 were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were 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
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold on your apparel.
25 युद्धको बिचमा वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्! जोनाथन तिम्रो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा मारिएका छन् ।
How are the mighty fallen in the middle of the battle! O Jonathan, you were slain in your high places.
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 am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant have you been to me: your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27 वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्, र युद्धका हतियारहरू कसरी नष्‍ट भएका छन् ।”
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
