२ शमूएल 15
1 यसपछि यस्तो भयो, अब्शालोमले आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा रथ र घोडाहरू र आफ्नो अगिअगि दौडिनलाई पचास जना मानिस तयार पारे ।
After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
2 अब्शालोम बिहान सबेरै उठ्थे र सहरको ढोकातिर जाने बाटोमा खडा हुन्थे । जब कोही विवाद भएका व्यक्ति न्यायको निम्ति राजाकहाँ आउँथ्यो, तब अब्शालोमलले त्यसलाई बोलाउँथे र भन्थे, “तपाईं कुन सहरबाट आउनुभएको हो?” अनि त्यो मानिसले जवाफ दिन्थ्यो, “तपाईंको दास इस्राएलको एउटा कुलबाट हो ।”
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
3 त्यसैले अब्शालोमले त्यसलाई भन्थे, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंको मुद्दा असल र ठिक छ तर तपाईंको मुद्दा हेर्नलाई राजाले कसैले शक्ति दिनुभएको छैन ।”
Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
4 अब्शालोमलले थप्थे, “मलाई यस देशको न्यायकर्ता बनाइदिएको भए हुन्थ्यो, ताकि कुनै पनि मुद्दा वा झगडा भएका हरेक मानिस मकहाँ आउँथ्यो र म त्यसलाई न्याय दिलाउँथे ।”
Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
5 यसैले यस्तो भयो, जब कुनै पनि मानिस अब्शालोमलाई आदर गर्न आउँथ्यो, तब अब्शालोमले आफ्नो हात काँधमा राख्थे र त्यसलाई अङ्गालो हाल्थे र त्यसलाई चुम्बन गर्थे ।
It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
6 राजाकहाँ न्यायको निम्ति आउने सबै इस्राएलसित अब्शालोमले यसरी नै व्यवहार गरे । यसरी अब्शालोमले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका हृदय चोरे ।
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 चार वर्षको अन्ततिर यस्तो भयो कि अब्शालोमले राजालाई भने, “कृपया, मैले हेब्रोनका परमप्रभुलाई गरेको भाकल पुरा गर्न मलाई जान दिनुहोस् ।
At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
8 किनकि तपाईंको दासले अरामको गशूरमा बस्दा यसो भनेर एउटा भाकल गरें, “परमप्रभुले मलाई यरूशलेममा ल्याउनुभयो भने, म परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्ने छु ।”
For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
9 त्यसैले राजाले उनलाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।” यसैले अब्शालोम उठे र हेब्रोनमा गए ।
The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 तर अब्शालोमले इस्राएलका सबै कुलमा यसो भनेर जासुसहरू पठाए, “तिमीहरूले तुरहीको आवाज सुन्ने बित्तिकै, तिमीहरूले यसो भन्नू, “हेब्रोनमा अबशालोम राजा हुनुभयो' ।”
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
11 अब्शालोमसँगै यरूशलेमका दुई सय जना मानिस गए जसले निमन्त्रणा पाएका थिए । अब्शालोमले योजना गरेका कुनै कुरा पनि थाहा नपाई तिनीहरू आफ्नो अज्ञानतामा गए ।
Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
12 अब्शालोमले बलिदान चाढाउँदा, उनले गिलोका अहीतोपेललाई पनि बोलाए । तिनी दाऊदका सल्लाहकार थिए । अब्शालोमको षड्यान्त्र प्रबल थियो, किनकि अब्शालोमको पछि लाग्ने मानिसहरूका सङ्ख्या निरन्तर बढ्दै थियो ।
Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 दाऊदकहाँ एक जना दूत यसो भन्दै आए, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका हृदयहरू अब्शालोमतिर लागेको छ ।”
A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14 त्यसैले दाऊदले आफूसँग यरूशलेममा भएका आफ्ना सबै सेवकलाई भने, “उठ र हामी भागौं नत्रता हामी कोही पनि अब्शालोमबाट बाँच्ने छैनौं । तुरुन्तै जानलाई तयार होओ, नत्रता त्यसले हामीलाई चाँडै आक्रमण गर्ने छ र त्यसले हामीमाथि विपद् ल्याउने छ र तरवारले यो सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्ने छ ।”
David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 राजाका सेवकहरूले राजालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका दासहरू हाम्रो मालिक महाराजाले जे भन्नुहुन्छ सो गर्न तयार छन् ।”
The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16 राजा र तिनका सबै परिवार तिनीसितै विदा भए, तर दरबारको रेखदेख गर्न दश जना उपपत्नीलाई राजाले छोडिराखे ।
The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 राजा र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिस बाहिर गएपछि, तिनीहरू अन्तिम घरमा रोकिए ।
The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
18 तिनका सबै फौज तिनीसँगै हिंडे र सबै करेतीहरू, पेलेथीहरू र गित्तीहरू गरी गातबाट तिनलाई पछ्याउने छ सय जना मानिसहरू तिनको अगिअगि गए ।
All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 तब राजाले गित्ती इत्तैलाई भने, “तिमी किन हामीसँग आउँछौ? फर्क र राजासँगै बस, किनकि तिमी परदेशी र निर्वासित छौ । तिम्रो आफ्नै ठाउँमा फर्क ।
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
20 किनकि तिमी भर्खर मात्र आएका हौ । तिमीलाई हामीसँगै भौंतारिन म किन लगाउछु र? म कहाँ जाँदै छु भन्ने मलाई नै थाहा छैन । त्यसैले फर्क र तिम्रा गाउँले मित्रहरूलाई फर्काएर लैजाऊ । बफदारीता र विश्वासनीयता तिमीसँगै रहोस् ।”
Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
21 तर इत्तैले राजालाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ र जस्तो मेरो मालिक महाराजा जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, मर्न वा बाँच्ने जेसुकै परोस् हजुको दास मेरो मालिक महाराजा जुन ठाउँमा जहाँ जानुहुन्छ त्यहीं नै जाने छ ।”
Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
22 त्यसैले दाऊदले इत्तैलाई भने, “अगि बढ, हामी निरन्तर बस ।” त्यसैले गित्ती इत्तै राजा, तिनका सबै मानिस र सबै परिवार सँगसँगै हिंडे ।
David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
23 राजाले किद्रोनको बेसी तर्दा देशभरिका सबै मानिस धुरुधुरु रोए र सबै मानिस पनि राजासँगै पारि तरे । सबै मानिस उजाडस्थान जाने बाटोसम्म गए ।
All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
24 परमेश्वरको करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने सबै लेवीसहित सादोक पनि थिए । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई भुईंमा राखे र त्यसपछि अबियाथार तिनीहरूसँगै सहभागी भए । सबै मानिस सहरबाट बाहिर नआएसम्म तिनीहरूले पर्खे ।
Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
25 राजाले सादोकलाई भने, “परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई सहरमा नै फर्काएर लेजाऊ । मैले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएँ भने, उहाँले मलाई यहाँ फर्काएर ल्याउनुहुने छ र सन्दुक र उहाँ बस्नुहुने ठाउँ मलाई फेरि देखाउनुहुने छ ।
The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
26 तर उहाँले यसो भन्नुहुन्छ भने, 'तँसँग म प्रशन्न छैन,' हेर, म यहाँ छु, उहाँलाई जे असल छ सो उहाँले मलाई गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
27 राजाले सादोक पुजारीलाई यसो पनि भने, “के तिमी दर्शी होइनौ? सहरमा शान्तिसँग फर्क र तिम्रा दुई छोरा, तिम्रा छोरा अहीमास र अबियाथारका छोरा जोनाथन तिम्रो साथमा छन् ।
The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Are not you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 हेर, मलाई जानकारी दिनलाई तिमीबाट खबर नआएसम्म म अराबाको जँघारहरूमा पर्खिने छु ।”
Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29 त्यसैले सादोक र अबियाथारले परमेश्वरको सन्दुक यरूशलेममा नै फिर्ता ल्याए र तिनीहरू त्यहीं बसे ।
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
30 तर दाऊद खाली खुट्टाले हिंडेर रुँदै जैतूनको डाँडाको उकालो चढे र तिनले आफ्नो शिर ढाकेका थिए । तिनीसँग भएका हरेक मानिसले आआफ्ना शिर ढाके र तिनीहरू रुँदै माथि उकालो चढे ।
David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 कसैले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “अहीतोपेल अब्शालोमसँगै षड्यान्त्र गर्नेहरूसित छ ।” त्यसैले दाऊदले प्रार्थना गरे, “हे परमप्रभु, कृपा गरी, अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहलाई मूर्खतामा परिणत गर्नुहोस् ।”
Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32 यस्तो भयो, जब दाऊद बाटोको टाकुरामा आइपुगे जहाँ परमेश्वरको आराधना गरिन्थ्यो, तब अरकी हुशै आफ्नो लुगा च्यातेर शिरमा धुलो छरेर दाऊदलाई भेट्न आए, ।
When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
33 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी मसँग गयौ भने, तिमी मेरो निम्ति बोझ बन्ने छौ ।
David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 तर तिमी सहरमा फर्केर गयौ र अबशालोमलाई यसो भन्यौ भने, 'जसरी म विगतमा हजुरका बुबाको सेवक भएँ त्यसरी नै, हे महाराजा, म हजुरको दास हुने छु,' तब तिमीले मेरो खातिर अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहलाई गोलमाल पार्नेछौ ।
but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
35 के तिमीसँग सादोक पुजारी र अबियाथार हुने छैनन् र? त्यसैले तिमीले दरबारमा राजाबाट जे-जे सुन्छौ सो कुरा तिमीले पुजारी सादोक र अबियाथारलाई भन्नुपर्छ ।
Do not you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 हेर, तिनीहरूका साथमा तिनीहरूका दुई छोरा सादोकका छोरा अहीमास र अबियाथारका छोरा जोनाथन छन् । तिमीले सुनेका सबै कुरा तिमीले तिनीहरूको माध्यामद्वारा मकहाँ पठाउनू ।”
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
37 त्यसैले अब्शालोम सहरभित्र आइपुगेर यरूशलेम प्रवेश गर्दा दाऊदका मित्र हूशै आए ।
So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
