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 ।
It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that David sent out Joab, his servants, and all the army of Israel. They destroyed the army of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed 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 ।
So it came about one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of his palace. From there he happened to see a woman who was bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
3 त्यसैले दाऊदले मानिसहरू बोलाए र ती स्त्रीलाई चिन्नेहरूलाई सोधे । कसैले भन्यो, “के यिनी एलीआमकी छोरी बतशेबा र हित्ती उरियाहकी पत्नी होइनन् र?”
So David sent and he asked people who would know about the woman. Someone said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, and is she not 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 ।
David sent messengers and took her; she came in to him, and he slept with her (for she had just purified herself from menstruation). Then she returned to her house.
5 ती स्त्री गर्भवती भइन् र उनले दाऊदलाई खबर पठाइन् र भनिन् । उनले भनिन्, “म गर्भवती भएछु ।”
The woman conceived, and she sent and told David; she said, “I am pregnant.”
6 त्यसपछि दाऊदले यआबलाई यसो भनेर खबर पठाए, “हित्ती उरियाहलाई मकहाँ पठाऊ ।” त्यसैले योआबले उरियाहलाई दाऊदकहाँ पठाए ।
Then David sent to Joab saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So 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 ।
When Uriah arrived, David asked him how Joab was, how the army was doing, and how the war was going.
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 ।
David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the king's palace, and the king sent a gift for Uriah after he left.
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 palace with all the servants of his master, and he did not go 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?”
When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your 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 ।”
Uriah answered David, “The ark, and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my master's servants are camped in an open field. How then can I go into my house to eat and to drink and to sleep with my wife? As sure as you are alive, I will not do this.”
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 ।
So David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you leave.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next day.
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 ।
When David called him, he ate and drank before him, and David made him drunk. At evening Uriah went out to sleep on his bed with the servants of his master; he did not go down to his house.
14 त्यसैले बिहान दाऊदले योआबलाई पत्र लेखे र यो उरियाहको हातमा पठाए ।
So in the morning 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 ।”
David wrote in the letter saying, “Set Uriah at the very front of the most intense battle, and then withdraw from him, that he may be hit and killed.”
16 त्यसैले जब योआबले सहरमाथिको घेराबन्धीलाई हेरे, तब तिनले लड्नलाई बलियो शत्रु सिपाहीहरू छन् भनी जानेका ठाउँमा उरियाहलाई खटाए ।
So as Joab watched the siege upon the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew the strongest enemy soldiers would be fighting.
17 जब सहरका मानिसहरू बाहिर निस्के र योआबका फौजसँग युद्ध लडे, तब दाऊदका केही सिपाहीहरू मरे र हित्ती उरियाहलाई पनि त्यहीं मारियो ।
When the men of the city went out and fought against Joab's army, some of the soldiers of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite was also killed there.
18 जब योआबले युद्धको बारेमा हरेक खबर दाऊदलाई पठाए,
When Joab sent word to David about everything concerning the war,
19 तब तिनले दूतहरूलाई यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “जब तैंले राजालाई युद्धका बारेमा सबै कुराहरू भनेर सिद्ध्याउँछस्,
he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war 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?
it may happen that the king will become angry, and he will say to you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Did you not know 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 killed Abimelech son of Jerub-Besheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' Then you must answer, 'Your 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 left and went to David and told him everything that Joab had sent him to say.
23 त्यसपछि त्यो दूतले दाऊदलाई भने, “सुरुमा हामीभन्दा शत्रुहरू बलिया थिए । उनीहरू हामीमाथि खुल्ला मैदानमा आए, तर हामीले उनीहरूलाई भित्र पस्ने ढोकातिर नै फर्कायौं ।
Then the messenger said to David, “The enemy were stronger than we were at first; they came out to us into the field, but we drove them back to 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 ।”
Then their shooters shot at your soldiers from off the wall, and some of the king's servants were killed, and your servant Uriah the Hittite was killed too.”
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 to the messenger, “Say this to Joab, 'Do not let this displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle even stronger against the city, and overthrow it,' and encourage him.”
26 जब उरियाहको पत्नीले आफ्नो पति उरियाह मरेको खबर सुनिन्, तब आफ्नो पतिको निम्ति तिनले गहिरो शोक गरिन् ।
So when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented deeply 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 ।
When her sorrow passed, David sent and took her home to his palace, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But what David had done displeased Yahweh.
