२ शमूएल 10
1 पछि यस्तो भयो, अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका राजाको मृत्यु भयो, र पछि तिनका छोरा हानून तिनको सट्टामा राजा भए ।
Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
2 दाऊदले भने, “तिनका बुबा नाहाशेले मलाई दया देखाएझैँ, म नाहाशका छोरा हानूनलाई दया देखाउने छु ।” त्यसैले दाऊदले तिनका बुबाको सम्बन्धमा हानूनलाई सान्त्वना दिन आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई पठाए । तिनका सेवकहरू अम्मोनको मानिसहरूको देशमा पसे ।
David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
3 तर अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलले आफ्ना मालिक हानूनलाई भने, “के साँच्चै दाऊदले तपाईंलाई सान्त्वना दिन मानिसहरू पठाएर तपाईंको बुबालाई आदर गर्दै छन् भनी तपाईं साँच्चै विचार गर्नुहुन्छ? के दाऊदले यो सहरलाई नाश गर्न यसको जासुसी गर्न र यसलाई हेर्न तिनका सेवकहरूलाई पठाएका होइनन् र?”
the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
4 त्यसैले हानूनले दाऊदका सेवकहरूलाई समाते, तिनीहरूका दाह्री आधा खौरे, तिनीहरूको जाँघसम्म तिनीहरूको पोशाक काटिदिए र तिनीहरूलाई पठाए ।
Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they sent them away.
5 जब तिनीहरूले यो कुरा दऊदलाई बताए, तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न मानिसहरूलाई पठाए, किनकि यी मानिसहरू साह्रै लज्जित भएका थिए । राजाले भने, “तिमीहरूको दाह्री फेरि नबढेसम्म यरीहोमा नै बस र त्यसपचि फर्क ।”
The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
6 जब अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले उनीहरू दाऊदको निम्ति दुर्गन्धित भएका थिए भन्ने थाहा पाए, अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले दूतहरू पठाए र बेथ-रहोब र सोबाका बिस हजार आरामी पैदल सिपाही, दश हजार सिपाहीसहित माकाका राजा र बाह्र हजार पुरुषसहित तोबका मानिसहरूलाई भाडामा लिए ।
Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
7 जब दाऊदले यसको बारेमा सुने, तब तिनले योआब र सिपाहीहरूका सबै फौजलाई पठाए ।
When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
8 अम्मोनीहरू बाहिर निस्के र आफ्नो सहरको ढोकामा युद्धको मोर्चा बाँधे, जबकि सोबा र रहोबका अरामीहरू, अनि तोब र माकाका मानिसहरू भने तिनीहरूसँगै खुल्ला मैदानमा तैनाथ भए ।
The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
9 जब योआबले अगाडी र पछाडी दुवैतिरबाट युद्धको मोर्चाले आफूतिर सामना गरेको देखे, तिनले इस्राएलका केही उत्कृष्ट योद्धाहरूलाई छाने र तिनीहरूलाई आरामीहरूको विरुद्ध परिचालन गरे ।
Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
10 तिनका बाँकी मानिसलाई तिनले आफ्नो भाइ अबीशैको अधीनमा दिए र तिनले उनीहरूलाई बाहिर अम्मोनको फौज विरुद्ध लड्नलाई पठाए ।
He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
11 योआबले भने, “आरामीहरू मेरो निम्ति साह्रै बलियो भए भने तिमी अबीशै मेरो उद्धार गर्नुपर्छ । तर अम्मोनका फौज तिम्रो निम्ति निकै बलिया भए भने, म आउने छु र तिम्रो उद्धार गर्ने छु ।
Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
12 बलियो होओ, र हाम्रा मानिसहरू र हाम्रा परमेश्वरको सहरहरूका हामी आफूलाई बलियो प्रकट गरौं, किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसका निम्ति जे असल हुन्छ सो गर्नुहुने छ ।”
We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
13 त्यसैले योआब र तिनका फौजका सिपाहीहरू अरामीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध लड्न अगि बढे, जो इस्राएलका फौजका सामु भाग्न बाध्य भए ।
So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
14 जब अम्मोनको फौजले आरामीहरू भागेको देखे, तब तिनीहरू पनि अबीशैबाट भागे र सहरमा फर्केर गए । तब योआब अम्मोनका मानिसहरूबाट फर्के र यरूशलेममा आए ।
And when [the soldiers of] the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
15 जब आरामीहरूले आफूहरू इस्राएलद्वारा पराजित भएको देखे, तब उनीहरूले फेरि आफूलाई एकसाथ भेला पारे ।
After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
16 त्यसपछि हददेजेरले यूफ्रेटिस नदी पारिका आरामी सेनाहरूलाई पनि लिन पठाए । उनीहरू हेलाममा आए र हददेजरका फौजका कमाण्डर शोबाक तिनीहरूको अगिअगि गए ।
[Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
17 जब दाऊदलाई यो कुरा भनियो, तब तिनले सबै इस्राएललाई एकसाथ भेला गरे, यर्दन तरे र हेलाममा आइपुगे । तब आरामीहरूले आफूलाई दाऊदको विरुद्धमा युद्ध मोर्चामा खडा गराए र तिनीसित युद्ध लडे ।
When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle started.
18 आरामीहरू इस्राएलको सामुबाट भागे र दाऊदले उनीहरूका रथका सात सय मानिस र चालिस हजार घोडचढीलाई मारे । उनीहरूका फौजका कमाण्डर शोबक घाइते भए र त्यहीँ मरे ।
But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, and he died there.
19 जब हददेजेरका अधीनमा भएका सबै राजाले आफू इस्राएलद्वारा परास्त भएको देखे, तब उनीहरूले इस्राएलसँग शान्ति सम्झौता गरे र तिनीहरूका अधीनमा भए । यसरी अरामीहरू अम्मोनका मानिसहरूलाई फेर सहायता गर्न डराए ।
When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group any more.
