२ शमूएल 11
1 बसन्त ऋतुमा यस्तो भयो, यो समयमा राजाहरू सामान्यतया युद्धमा जान्छन्, जसले गर्दा दाऊदले योआब, तिनका सेवकहरू र इस्राएलका सबै फौजलाई पठाए । तिनीहरूले अम्मोनका फौजलाई नाश गरे र रब्बालाई घराबन्दी गरे । तर दाऊदचाहिं यरूशलेममा नै बसे ।
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem.
2 त्यसैले एक साँझ यस्तो भयो, दाऊद आफ्नो ओछ्यानबाट उठे र आफ्नो दरबारको छतमा हिंडिरहे । त्यहाँबाट तिनले एक जना स्त्रीलाई देखे जो नुहाइरहेकी थिइन्, र ती महिला हेर्दा साह्रै सुन्दरी थिइन् ।
And it came to pass at eventide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 त्यसैले दाऊदले मानिसहरू बोलाए र ती स्त्रीलाई चिन्नेहरूलाई सोधे । कसैले भन्यो, “के यिनी एलीआमकी छोरी बतशेबा र हित्ती उरियाहकी पत्नी होइनन् र?”
And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 दाऊदले दूतहरू पठाए र तिनलाई ल्याए । तिनकहाँ उनी आइन् र तिनी उनीसँग सुते (किनकि उनले आफूलाई रजस्वलाबाट भर्खरै मात्र शुद्ध पारेकी थिइन्)। त्यसपछि उनी आफ्नै घरमा फर्किन् ।
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned unto her house.
5 ती स्त्री गर्भवती भइन् र उनले दाऊदलाई खबर पठाइन् र भनिन् । उनले भनिन्, “म गर्भवती भएछु ।”
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 त्यसपछि दाऊदले यआबलाई यसो भनेर खबर पठाए, “हित्ती उरियाहलाई मकहाँ पठाऊ ।” त्यसैले योआबले उरियाहलाई दाऊदकहाँ पठाए ।
And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 जब उरियाह आइपुगे, तब दाऊदले योआब कस्ता छन्, फौज कस्तो छ र युद्ध कस्तो भइरहेको छ भनी सोधपुछ गरे ।
And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8 दाऊदले उरियाहलाई भने, “तल आफ्नो घरमा जाऊ र आफ्नो खुट्टा धोऊ ।” त्यसैले उरियाह राजाको दरबारबाट गए र राजाले उरियाह गएपछि तिनको पछिपछि उपहार पठाए ।
And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess [of food] from the king.
9 तर उरियाह राजाको दरबारको ढोकामा आफ्ना मालिकका सेवकहरूसँगै सुते र तिनी तल आफ्नो घरमा गएनन् ।
But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10 जब तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “उरियाह तल आफ्नो घरमा गएनन् ।” दाऊदले उरियाहलाई भने, “के तिमी यात्राबाट आएका होइनौ? तिमी तल आफ्नो घरमा किन नगएको?”
And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy house?
11 उरियाहले जवाफ दिए, “सन्दुक, इस्राएल र यहूदा पालमा बसिरहेका छन्, अनि मेरो मालिक योआब र मेरा मलिकका सेवकहरू खुल्ला मैदानमा छाउनीमा छन् । तब म आफ्नो घरमा खान, पिउन र मेरो पत्नीसँग सुत्नलाई कसरी जानु? जस्तो तपाईं जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, म यसो गर्ने छैन ।”
And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
12 त्यसैले दाऊदले उरियाहलाई भने, “आज पनि यहीं बस र म तिमीलाई भोलि पठाउने छु ।” त्यसैले उरियाह त्यस दिन र अर्को दिन यरूशलेममा नै बसे ।
And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
13 जब दाऊदले उनलाई बोलाए, उनले तिनको सामु खाए र पिए र दाऊदले तिनलाई मत्याए । साँझमा उरियाह आफ्नो मालिकका सेवकहरूसँगै भएको आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा सुत्न गए । उनी तल आफ्नो घरमा गएनन् ।
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
14 त्यसैले बिहान दाऊदले योआबलाई पत्र लेखे र यो उरियाहको हातमा पठाए ।
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 दाऊदले पत्र यसो भनेर लेखे, “धेरै भयङ्कर युद्धको अग्र पङ्तीमा उरियाहलाई राख्नू र त्यसबाट पछि हट्नू, ताकि त्यसलाई प्रहार गरियोस् र मारियोस् ।”
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
16 त्यसैले जब योआबले सहरमाथिको घेराबन्धीलाई हेरे, तब तिनले लड्नलाई बलियो शत्रु सिपाहीहरू छन् भनी जानेका ठाउँमा उरियाहलाई खटाए ।
And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 जब सहरका मानिसहरू बाहिर निस्के र योआबका फौजसँग युद्ध लडे, तब दाऊदका केही सिपाहीहरू मरे र हित्ती उरियाहलाई पनि त्यहीं मारियो ।
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 जब योआबले युद्धको बारेमा हरेक खबर दाऊदलाई पठाए,
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 तब तिनले दूतहरूलाई यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “जब तैंले राजालाई युद्धका बारेमा सबै कुराहरू भनेर सिद्ध्याउँछस्,
and he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,
20 तब राजा रिसाउन सक्छन् र तिनले भन्ने छन्, 'तिमीहरू युद्ध गर्न सहरको यति नजिक किन गयौ? के उनीहरूले पर्खालबाट काँड हान्छन् भन्ने तिमीहरूले जानेनौ?
it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
21 यरूब-बेसेतका छोरा अबीमेलेकलाई कसले मार्यो? के एक जना स्त्रीले जाँतोको माथिल्को ढुङ्गा पर्खालबाट खसालेर तिनी तेबेसमा मरेकी थिइनन्? तिमीहरू किन पर्खालको यति नजिक गयौ?' तब तैंले जवाफ दिनुपर्छ, 'तपाईंको दास हित्ती उरियाह पनि मरे' ।”
who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
22 त्यसैले त्यो दूत विदा भयो र दाऊदकहाँ गयो र योआबले तिनलाई भन्न पठाएका हरेक कुरा भनिदिए ।
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 त्यसपछि त्यो दूतले दाऊदलाई भने, “सुरुमा हामीभन्दा शत्रुहरू बलिया थिए । उनीहरू हामीमाथि खुल्ला मैदानमा आए, तर हामीले उनीहरूलाई भित्र पस्ने ढोकातिर नै फर्कायौं ।
And the messenger said unto David, The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance of the gate.
24 तब उनीहरूका काँड हान्नेहरूले पर्खाल माथिबाट तपाईंका केही सिपाहीलाई काँड हाने र राजाका केही सेवक मारिए र तपाईंको दास हित्ती उरियाह पनि मारिए ।”
And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
25 दाऊदले त्यस दूतलाई भने, “योआबलाई भन्, 'यसले तिमीलाई दुःखित नतुल्याओस्, किनकि तरवारले एउटा वा अर्कोलाई नष्ट पार्छ । त्यो सहरको विरुद्ध तिम्रो युद्ध अझ धेरै बलियो पार र त्यसलाई नाश पार,' र तिनलाई उत्साह दिए ।”
Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another; make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
26 जब उरियाहको पत्नीले आफ्नो पति उरियाह मरेको खबर सुनिन्, तब आफ्नो पतिको निम्ति तिनले गहिरो शोक गरिन् ।
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
27 जब उनको विलाप पुरा भयो, दाऊदले उनलाई आफ्नो दरबारमा ल्याउन लिन पठाए र उनी तिनको पत्नी भइन् र तिनको निति एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् । तर दाऊदले गरेको कुराले परमप्रभुलाई दुःखी तुल्यायो ।
And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Jehovah.
