२ शमूएल 16
1 दाऊद डाँडाको चुचुरोबाट अलिकति पर पुग्दा, मपीबोशेतको नोकर सीबा केही गधाहरू जीन-काठी कसेर दाऊदलाई भेट्न आए । तिनमा दुई सयवटा रोटी, एक सय झुप्पा किसमिस, नेभारा एक सय झुप्पा र एक मशक दाखमद्य थिए ।
When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.
2 राजाले सीबालाई भने, “तिमीले यी कुरा किन लिएर आयौ?” सीबाले जवाफ दिए, “गधाहरू राजाका घरानालाई सवार हुन, रोटी र नेभाराका डल्लाहरू तपाईंका मानिसहरूले खान र दाखमद्यचाहि उजाडस्थानमा मूर्छित हुनेहरूका लागि पिउनलाई हुन् ।”
The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become exhausted in the desert.”
3 राजले भने, “त्यसो भए, तिम्रो मालिको नाति कहाँ छ?” सीबाले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “हेर्नुहोस्, उनी यरूशलेममा नै बसेका छन्, किनकि, उनले भने, 'इस्राएलको घरानाले आज मेरो बुबाको राज्य मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्ने छन्' ।”
The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
4 तब राजाले सीबालाई भने, “हेर, मपीबोशेतको अधीनमा भएका सबै कुरा अब तिम्रो भयो ।” सीबाले जवाफ दिए, “हे मेरो मालिक महाराजा म नम्रतासाथ हजुरको सामु निहुरिन्छु । मैले हजुरको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाउन सकौं ।”
The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
5 जब दाऊद राजा बहूरीमको नजिक पुगे, त्यहाँबाट एक जना मानिस शाऊलको कुलको गेराका छोरा शिमी आयो । ऊ हिंड्दै गर्दा उसले सराप्दै गयो ।
When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David as he approached.
6 राजाको दाया र बायातिर फौजहरू र अङ्गरक्षकहरू भए तापनि उसले दाऊदलाई र राजाका अधिकारीहरूलाई ढङ्गाले हान्यो ।
Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
7 शिमीले यसरी सरापे, “गइहाल, यहाँबाट निस्की जा, तँ दुष्ट, तँ रक्तपात गर्ने मानिस!
Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
8 तैंले शाऊलको घरानाभित्र बगाएको रगतका लागि तिमीहरू सबैलाई परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभएको छ, जसको ठाउँमा तैंले राज्य गरेको छस् । परमप्रभुले तेरो छोरा अब्शालोमलाई राज्य दिनुभएको छ । तेरो सर्वनाश भएको छ किनभने तँ रक्तपातको मानिस होस् ।”
Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
9 त्यसपछि सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैले राजालाई भने, “यो मरेको कुकुरले मेरो मलिक महाराजालाई किन सराप्ने? कृपया, पारि गएर त्यसको टाउको काट्ने अनुमति मलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
Then Abishai said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut off his head!”
10 तर राजाले भने, “ए सरूयाहका छोराहरू तिमीहरूको मसँग के सरोकार? सायद परमप्रभुले नै, 'दाऊदलाई सराप' भनेर त्यसलाई भन्नुभएको हुनाले त्यसले मलाई सराप्दै छ । अनि त्यसलाई 'तिमीले राजालाई किन सराप्दै छौ?' भनेर कसले भन्न सक्छ' ।”
But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
11 त्यसैले दाऊदले अबीशै र आफ्ना सबै सेवकलाई भने, “हेर, मेरो छोर, जो मेरो आफ्नै शरीरबाट जन्मेको हो, त्यसले नै मलाई मार्न खोज्छ । यो बेन्यामिनीले झन् मेरो विनाश भएको कति धेरै इच्छा गर्ला? त्यसलाई छोडिदेऊ र त्यसले सरापोस्, किनकि परमप्रभुले नै त्यसो गर्ने आज्ञा त्यसलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
12 सायद ममाथि आइपरेको यो कष्ट परमप्रभुले हेर्नुहुने छ र आज त्यसले मलाई सरापेकोमा मलाई असल इनाम दिनुहुने छ ।”
Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing me today.”
13 त्यसैले दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू बाटोमा हिंडे, जबकि शिमीले डाँडाको अर्कोपट्टि हिंड्दै, सराप्दै, धुलो छर्दै र ढुङ्गा हान्दै गए ।
Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
14 त्यसपछि राजा र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिस थकित भए र तिनीहरू राती रोकिंदा तिनले आराम गरे ।
When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
15 अब्शालोमको र तिनीसँग भएका इस्राएलका सबै मानिसका बारेमामा, तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए र अहीतोपेल तिनीसँगै थिए ।
While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
16 जब दाऊदका मित्र अरकी हूशै अब्शालोमकहाँ आए, तब हूशैले अब्शालोमलाई भने, “राजा अमर रहुन्! राजा अमर रहुन्!”
When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
17 अब्शालोमले हूशैलाई भने, “तिम्रो मित्रप्रतिको तिम्रो बफदारीता यही हो? तिमी किन तिनीसित गएनौ?”
Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
18 हूशैले अब्शालोमलाई भने, “होइन, बरु, परमप्रभु र यी मानिसहरू र इस्राएलका सारा मानिसले जसलाई चुनेका छन्, म त्यही मानिसको हुने छु र उसैसित म बस्ने छु ।
Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
19 साथै, मैले कुन मानिसको सेवा गर्नु? के मैले तिनको छोराको उपस्थितिमा सेवा नगर्नु? मैले जसरी तपाईंको बुबाको सामु सेवा गरेको छु त्यसरी नै म तपाईंको सामु सेवा गर्ने छु ।”
You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
20 तब अब्शालोमले अहीतोपेललाई भने, “हामीले के गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने बारेमा हामीलाई तपाईंको सल्लाह दिनुहोस् ।”
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should do?”
21 अहीतोपेलले अब्शालोमलाई जवाफ दिए, “जानुहोस्, तपाईंको बुबाले दरबारको सुरक्षा गर्न छोड्नुभएका तपाईंको बुबाका उपपत्नीहरूसित सुत्नुहोस् र तपाईं आफ्नो बुबाप्रति दुर्गन्ध हुनुभएको छ भनी सारा इस्राएललाई थाहा हुने छ । तब तपाईंसँग भएका सबैको हात बलियो हुने छ ।”
Ahithophel replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
22 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले दरबारको छतमा अब्शालोमको निम्ति पाल टाँगे र सारा इस्राएलले देख्ने गरी अब्शालोम आफ्नो बुबाका उपपत्नीहरूसित सुते ।
So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
23 अब ती दिनहरूमा अहीतोपेलले दिएको सल्लाह परमेश्वर स्वयम्को मुखबाट मानिसले सुनेको जस्तै हुन्थ्यो । दाऊद र अब्शालोम दुवैले अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहलाई त्यसरी नै लिन्थे ।
In those days, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
