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 forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in 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 ।
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.
3 त्यसैले दाऊदले मानिसहरू बोलाए र ती स्त्रीलाई चिन्नेहरूलाई सोधे । कसैले भन्यो, “के यिनी एलीआमकी छोरी बतशेबा र हित्ती उरियाहकी पत्नी होइनन् र?”
And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.
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 to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:
5 ती स्त्री गर्भवती भइन् र उनले दाऊदलाई खबर पठाइन् र भनिन् । उनले भनिन्, “म गर्भवती भएछु ।”
And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.
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 Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.
7 जब उरियाह आइपुगे, तब दाऊदले योआब कस्ता छन्, फौज कस्तो छ र युद्ध कस्तो भइरहेको छ भनी सोधपुछ गरे ।
And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.
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 Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king’s house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.
9 तर उरियाह राजाको दरबारको ढोकामा आफ्ना मालिकका सेवकहरूसँगै सुते र तिनी तल आफ्नो घरमा गएनन् ।
But Urias slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own 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 it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to 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 Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul 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 ।
Then David said to Urias: Tarry here today, and tomorrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.
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 David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.
14 त्यसैले बिहान दाऊदले योआबलाई पत्र लेखे र यो उरियाहको हातमा पठाए ।
And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,
15 दाऊदले पत्र यसो भनेर लेखे, “धेरै भयङ्कर युद्धको अग्र पङ्तीमा उरियाहलाई राख्नू र त्यसबाट पछि हट्नू, ताकि त्यसलाई प्रहार गरियोस् र मारियोस् ।”
Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.
16 त्यसैले जब योआबले सहरमाथिको घेराबन्धीलाई हेरे, तब तिनले लड्नलाई बलियो शत्रु सिपाहीहरू छन् भनी जानेका ठाउँमा उरियाहलाई खटाए ।
Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest 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 coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.
18 जब योआबले युद्धको बारेमा हरेक खबर दाऊदलाई पठाए,
Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.
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 told all the words of the battle to 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?
If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off 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 killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.
22 त्यसैले त्यो दूत विदा भयो र दाऊदकहाँ गयो र योआबले तिनलाई भन्न पठाएका हरेक कुरा भनिदिए ।
So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him.
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 to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city.
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 archers shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king’s servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead.
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 ।”
And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against The city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.
26 जब उरियाहको पत्नीले आफ्नो पति उरियाह मरेको खबर सुनिन्, तब आफ्नो पतिको निम्ति तिनले गहिरो शोक गरिन् ।
And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him.
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 the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.
