२ शमूएल 12
1 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले नातानलाई दाऊदकहाँ पठाउनुभयो । उनी तिनीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “कुनै सहरमा दुई जना मानिस बस्थे । एक जना धनी थिए र अर्कोचाहिं गरीब थिए ।
And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
2 धनी मानिसको ठुलो संख्यामा भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु थिए,
And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.
3 तर त्यो गरीब मानिससित भेडको एउटा पाठीबाहेक केही पनि थिएन, जसलाई त्यसले किनेर ल्याएको, र खुवाएर हुर्काएको थियो । त्यो उसँग र उसका छोराछोरीसँगै हुर्क्यो । यो पाठीले उसँगै खान्थ्यो, उसैको कचौराबाट पिउँथ्यो, र उसकै काखमा सुत्थ्यो र उसको छोरीजस्तै थियो ।
But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4 एक दिन त्यो धनी मानिसको घरमा एक जना पाहुना आए, तर तिनलाई खाना दिन त्यो धनी मानिसले आफ्नो भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु एउटा पशु लिन पनि इच्छुक भएन । बरु, त्यसले त्यो गरीब मानिसको भेडाको पाठी लियो र त्यो आफ्नो पाहुनाको निम्ति पकाइदियो ।”
And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
5 दाऊद त्यो धनी मानिसप्रति रिसले आगो भए र नातानसँग जङ्गिए, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसले यसो गर्यो त्यो मारिन योग्य छ ।
And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
6 त्यो पाठीको चार गुणा त्यसले फिर्ता गर्नुपर्छ किनभने त्यसले यस्तो दुष्ट कुरा गरेको छ र त्यसले गरीब मानिसमाथ कुनै दया देखाएन ।”
And he shall restore the lamb seven-fold, because he has not spared.
7 त्यसपछि नातानले दाऊदलाई भने, “त्यो मानिस तपाईं नै हो! परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले तँलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरें र मैले तँलाई शाऊलको हातबाट बचाएँ ।
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee to be king over Israel, and I rescued thee out the hand of Saul;
8 मैले तँलाई तेरो मालिकको घराना र तेरो मालिकका पत्नीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा दिएँ । मैले तँलाई इस्राएल र यहूदाको घराना पनि दिएँ । तर त्यसले नपुगेको भए, मैले तँलाई यसको अतिरिक्त अरू धेरै कुरा दिने थिएँ ।
and I gave thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord into thy bosom, and I gave to thee the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given thee yet more.
9 त्यसैले तैंले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ त्यही गरेर उहाँको आज्ञालाई किन तुच्छ ठानिस्? तैंले हित्ती उरियाहलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरिस् र त्यसको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नै पत्नी हुनलाई लगेको छस् । तैंले अम्मोनको फौजको तरवारले त्यसलाई मारिस् ।
Why hast thou set at nought the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? thou hast slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and thou hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and thou hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 त्यसैले अब तरवारले तेरो घरानालाई कहिल्यै छोड्ने छैन, किनभने तैंले मलाई घृणा गरेको छस् र हित्ती उरियाहको पत्नीलाई तेरो आफ्नो पत्नीको रूपमा लिएको छस् ।'
Now therefore the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever, because thou has set me at nought, and thou hast taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be thy wife.
11 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म तेरो आफ्नै घरानाबाट विपद् ल्याउने छु । तेरै आफ्नै आँखाको सामु तेरा पत्नीहरूलाई म लिने छु र ती तेरो छिमेकीलाई दिने छु, र दिनको उज्यालोमा त्यो तेरा पत्नीहरूसित सुत्ने छ ।
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and will give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 किनकि तैंले आफ्नो पाप गोप्य रूपमा गरिस्, तर म यो सारा इस्राएलको सामु घामको उज्यालोमा गर्ने छु’ ।”
For thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
13 तब दाऊदले नातानलाई भने, “मैले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु ।” नातानले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंको पापलाई हटाइदिनुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई मारिने छैन ।
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 तापनि, यो कामद्वारा तपाईंले परमप्रभुलाई तुच्छ तुल्याउनुभएको हुनाले, तपाईंबाट जन्मने बालकचाहिं निश्चय नै मार्ने छ ।”
Only because thou hast given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, thy son also that is born to thee shall surely die.
15 त्यसपछि नातान विदा भए र घर गए । उरियाहको पत्नीले दाऊदबाट जन्माएको बालकलाई परमप्रभुले प्रहार गर्नुभयो र त्यो गम्भीर बिरामी भयो ।
And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord smote the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
16 दाऊदले त्यो केटाको निम्ति परमप्रभुसँग बिन्ती गरे । दाऊद उपवास बसे र भित्र गए र रातभरि भुईंमा पल्टिरहे ।
And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
17 तिनका घरानाका ठुलाहरू उठे र तिनलाई भुईंबाट उठाउन तिनको छेउमा खडा भए, तर तिनी उठेनन् र तिनले तिनीहरूसँग केही पनि खाएनन् ।
And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.
18 सातौं दिनमा त्यो बालक मर्यो । त्यो बालक मर्यो भनेर दाऊदका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भन्न डराए, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, त्यो बालक जीवितै हुँदा हामीले उहँसित बोल्यौं र उहाँले हाम्रा कुरा सुन्नुभएन । हामीले त्यो बालक मर्यो भन्यौं भने, उहाँले आफूलाई के गर्नुहोला?”
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he hearkened not to our voice; and thou should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
19 तर जब दाऊदले आफ्ना सेवकहरूले आपसमा कानेखुसी गरिरहेको देखे, तब बालक मरेछ भनी दाऊदले थाहा पाए । तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “के त्यो बालक मर्यो?” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “त्यो मर्यो ।”
And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
20 तब दाऊद भुईंबाट उठे र आफू नुहाए, आफूलाई तेल घसे र आफ्ना लुगा फेरे । तिनी परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानमा गए र त्यहाँ आराधना गरे र त्यसपछि आफ्नो दरबारमा फर्केर आए । तिनले खाने कुराहरू मागेपछि, तिनीहरूले खाने कुरा दिए र तिनले खाए ।
Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
21 तब तिनका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंले किन यसो गर्नुभएको छ? त्यो बालक जिउँदो हुँदा तपाईं उपवास बस्नुभयो र रुनुभयो, तर जब बालक मर्यो, तब तपाईं उठ्नुभयो र खानुभयो ।”
And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that thou hast done concerning the child? while it was yet living thou didst fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead thou didst rise up, and didst eat bread, and drink.
22 दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “बालक जीवित हुँदा म उपवास बसें र रोएँ । मैले भनें, 'कसले जान्दछ कतै परमप्रभु अनुग्रही हुनुहुने छ ताकि बालक बाँच्न सकोस्?'
And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?
23 तर अब त्यो मर्यो, त्यसैले म किन उपवास बस्ने? के म त्यसलाई फेरि फर्काएर ल्याउन सक्छु र? म त्यसकहाँ जाने छु, तर त्यो मकहाँ फर्केर आउने छैन ।”
But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 दाऊदले आफ्नी पत्नी बतशेबालाई सान्त्वना दिए र उनकहाँ गए र उनीसँग सुते । पछि उनले एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् र त्यो बालककको नाउँ सोलोमन राखियो । परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो
And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 र तिनको नाउँ यददीयाह राख्नू भनी उहाँले नातान अगमवक्ताद्वारा सन्देश पठाउनुभयो, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो ।
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
26 यति बेला योआबले अम्मोनीहरूको रब्बाको विरुद्ध युद्ध गरे र तिनले राजकीय सहर कब्जा गरे ।
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 त्यसैले योआबले दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए र भने, “मैले रब्बाको विरुद्धमा युद्ध लडेको छु र मैले सहरको पानीको आपुर्तीलाई कब्जा गरेको छु ।
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.
28 यसकारण बाँकी फौजलाई भेला गर्नुहोस् र यो सहर विरुद्ध छआउनी हाल्नुहोस् र यसलाई कब्जा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि मैले त्यो सहर लिएँ भने, त्यसलाई मेरो नाउँ दिइने छ ।
And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
29 त्यसैले दाऊदले सबै फौजलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे र रब्बातिर गए । तिनले त्यो सहरको विरुद्ध युद्ध लडे र त्यो कब्जा गरे ।
And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
30 दाऊदले तिनीहरूका राजाको शिरबाट शिरपेच लिए, यसको तौल एक तोडा सुन थियो, र त्यसमा बहुमूल्य पत्थरहरू थिए । त्यो शिरपेच दाऊदको आफ्नै शिरमा लगाइयो । त्यसपछि तिनले त्यस सहरको लुटका मालहरू ठुलो मात्रामा लिएर आए ।
And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
31 तिनले त्यस सहरमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई लिएर आए, र तिनीहरूलाई आराहरू, फलामको हतियारको र बन्चरोको कामहरू गर्न बाध्य पारे । तिनले उनीहरूलाई इँटको भट्टाहरूमा काम गर्न लगाए । दाऊदले अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका सबै सहरलाई यो श्रमको काम गर्न लगाए । तब दाऊद र सबै फौज यरूशलेम फर्के ।
And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
