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 ।
So the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, "Tell me how you judge this case. There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 धनी मानिसको ठुलो संख्यामा भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तु थिए,
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 nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had acquired. And he raised it and it grew up alongside him and his children. It used to eat of his morsel and drink from his cup and sleep in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.
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 ।”
Now a traveler came to the rich man, but he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd to prepare for the traveler who had come to him, but took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come 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 ।
Then David became very angry with that man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves death.
6 त्यो पाठीको चार गुणा त्यसले फिर्ता गर्नुपर्छ किनभने त्यसले यस्तो दुष्ट कुरा गरेको छ र त्यसले गरीब मानिसमाथ कुनै दया देखाएन ।”
He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity."
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 ।
Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of 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 ।
I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your care, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
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 have you despised the LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hethite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the people 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 will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hethite to be your 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 ।
"This is what the LORD says: 'Look, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your 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 you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before 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 ।
David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14 तापनि, यो कामद्वारा तपाईंले परमप्रभुलाई तुच्छ तुल्याउनुभएको हुनाले, तपाईंबाट जन्मने बालकचाहिं निश्चय नै मार्ने छ ।”
However, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the LORD, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
15 त्यसपछि नातान विदा भए र घर गए । उरियाहको पत्नीले दाऊदबाट जन्माएको बालकलाई परमप्रभुले प्रहार गर्नुभयो र त्यो गम्भीर बिरामी भयो ।
Then Nathan went to his home. And God struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16 दाऊदले त्यो केटाको निम्ति परमप्रभुसँग बिन्ती गरे । दाऊद उपवास बसे र भित्र गए र रातभरि भुईंमा पल्टिरहे ।
Then David sought from God on behalf of the child. And David fasted, and went in and lay all night on 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 approached him to lift him up from the ground, but he was unwilling, and he would not eat food 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?”
It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Look, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?"
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 ।”
But when David noticed that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" 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 arose from the ground, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked 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 ।”
Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept and kept vigil for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread."
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?'
He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may 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 he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back? I shall go to him, but he will 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
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. 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 he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD's sake.
26 यति बेला योआबले अम्मोनीहरूको रब्बाको विरुद्ध युद्ध गरे र तिनले राजकीय सहर कब्जा गरे ।
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the people 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 ।
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and have also taken the water supply of the city.
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 ।
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and capture it yourself, or I will capture the city, and it will be named after me."
29 त्यसैले दाऊदले सबै फौजलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे र रब्बातिर गए । तिनले त्यो सहरको विरुद्ध युद्ध लडे र त्यो कब्जा गरे ।
David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, 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 ।
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
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 ।
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and to labor at the brick kiln. And he did the same to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
