२ शमूएल 15
1 यसपछि यस्तो भयो, अब्शालोमले आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा रथ र घोडाहरू र आफ्नो अगिअगि दौडिनलाई पचास जना मानिस तयार पारे ।
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, 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 ।”
And Absalom rose early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was [so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] 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 ।”
And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters [are] good and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] by the king to hear thee.
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 hath 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 ।
And it was [so], that when any man came nigh [to him] to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6 राजाकहाँ न्यायको निम्ति आउने सबै इस्राएलसित अब्शालोमले यसरी नै व्यवहार गरे । यसरी अब्शालोमले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका हृदय चोरे ।
And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that 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 ।
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, 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 thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.
9 त्यसैले राजाले उनलाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।” यसैले अब्शालोम उठे र हेब्रोनमा गए ।
And 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 ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth 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 ।
And with Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, [that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
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 ।
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, [even] from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And 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 ।”
And there came a messenger 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 ।”
And David said to all his servants that [were] with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he should overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite 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 ।”
And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants [are ready to do] whatever my lord the king shall appoint.
16 राजा र तिनका सबै परिवार तिनीसितै विदा भए, तर दरबारको रेखदेख गर्न दश जना उपपत्नीलाई राजाले छोडिराखे ।
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And 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 ।
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
18 तिनका सबै फौज तिनीसँगै हिंडे र सबै करेतीहरू, पेलेथीहरू र गित्तीहरू गरी गातबाट तिनलाई पछ्याउने छ सय जना मानिसहरू तिनको अगिअगि गए ।
And all his servants passed on by his side; 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 said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Why goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king; for thou [art] a stranger, and also an exile.
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 thou camest [but] yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may; return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth [be] with thee.
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 ।”
And Ittai answered the king, and said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
22 त्यसैले दाऊदले इत्तैलाई भने, “अगि बढ, हामी निरन्तर बस ।” त्यसैले गित्ती इत्तै राजा, तिनका सबै मानिस र सबै परिवार सँगसँगै हिंडे ।
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that [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 ।
And 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, towards 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 ।
And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites [were] with him bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done 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 ।
And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of the LORD, 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 shall thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth 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, [Art not] thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 हेर, मलाई जानकारी दिनलाई तिमीबाट खबर नआएसम्म म अराबाको जँघारहरूमा पर्खिने छु ।”
See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until word shall come from you to certify me.
29 त्यसैले सादोक र अबियाथारले परमेश्वरको सन्दुक यरूशलेममा नै फिर्ता ल्याए र तिनीहरू त्यहीं बसे ।
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried 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 ।
And David went up by the ascent of [mount] Olivet, and wept as he went, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that [were] with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went.
31 कसैले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “अहीतोपेल अब्शालोमसँगै षड्यान्त्र गर्नेहरूसित छ ।” त्यसैले दाऊदले प्रार्थना गरे, “हे परमप्रभु, कृपा गरी, अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहलाई मूर्खतामा परिणत गर्नुहोस् ।”
And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, 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, ।
And it came to pass, that [when] David had come to the top [of the mount], where he worshiped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head;
33 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी मसँग गयौ भने, तिमी मेरो निम्ति बोझ बन्ने छौ ।
To whom David said, If thou shalt pass on with me, then thou wilt 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 thou shalt return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; [as] I [have been] thy father's servant hitherto, so [will] I now also [be] thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat 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 ।
And [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, [that] whatever thing thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt 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]; and by them ye shall send to me every thing that ye can hear.
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.
