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 ।
And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle 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 ।”
And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
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' ।”
And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father.
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 ।”
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
5 जब दाऊद राजा बहूरीमको नजिक पुगे, त्यहाँबाट एक जना मानिस शाऊलको कुलको गेराका छोरा शिमी आयो । ऊ हिंड्‍दै गर्दा उसले सराप्‍दै गयो ।
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, from there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed continually as he came.
6 राजाको दाया र बायातिर फौजहरू र अङ्गरक्षकहरू भए तापनि उसले दाऊदलाई र राजाका अधिकारीहरूलाई ढङ्गाले हान्‍यो ।
And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 शिमीले यसरी सरापे, “गइहाल, यहाँबाट निस्की जा, तँ दुष्‍ट, तँ रक्‍तपात गर्ने मानिस!
And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou worthless fellow:
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 ।”
The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
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 said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take 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' ।”
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said to him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Why hast thou done so?
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 ।
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
12 सायद ममाथि आइपरेको यो कष्‍ट परमप्रभुले हेर्नुहुने छ र आज त्यसले मलाई सरापेकोमा मलाई असल इनाम दिनुहुने छ ।”
It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me good for his cursing this day.
13 त्यसैले दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू बाटोमा हिंडे, जबकि शिमीले डाँडाको अर्कोपट्टि हिंड्दै, सराप्दै, धुलो छर्दै र ढुङ्गा हान्दै गए ।
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side opposite him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 त्यसपछि राजा र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिस थकित भए र तिनीहरू राती रोकिंदा तिनले आराम गरे ।
And the king, and all the people that were with him, became weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 अब्शालोमको र तिनीसँग भएका इस्राएलका सबै मानिसका बारेमामा, तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए र अहीतोपेल तिनीसँगै थिए ।
And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 जब दाऊदका मित्र अरकी हूशै अब्शालोमकहाँ आए, तब हूशैले अब्शालोमलाई भने, “राजा अमर रहुन्! राजा अमर रहुन्!”
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
17 अब्शालोमले हूशैलाई भने, “तिम्रो मित्रप्रतिको तिम्रो बफदारीता यही हो? तिमी किन तिनीसित गएनौ?”
And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
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 ।
And Hushai said to Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
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 ।”
And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 तब अब्शालोमले अहीतोपेललाई भने, “हामीले के गर्नुपर्छ भन्‍ने बारेमा हामीलाई तपाईंको सल्लाह दिनुहोस् ।”
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall 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 ।”
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred by thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
22 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले दरबारको छतमा अब्शालोमको निम्ति पाल टाँगे र सारा इस्राएलले देख्‍ने गरी अब्शालोम आफ्नो बुबाका उपपत्‍नीहरूसित सुते ।
So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 अब ती दिनहरूमा अहीतोपेलले दिएको सल्लाह परमेश्‍वर स्वयम्‌को मुखबाट मानिसले सुनेको जस्तै हुन्थ्यो । दाऊद र अब्शालोम दुवैले अहीतोपेलको सल्लाहलाई त्यसरी नै लिन्थे ।
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
