२ शमूएल 19

1 योआबलाई भनियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, राजाले अब्शालोमको निम्ति रुँदै र विलाप गर्दै छन् ।”

And word was given to Joab that the king was weeping and sorrowing for Absalom.

2 त्यसैले त्यस दिनको विजय सारा फौजको निम्ति शोकमा परिणत भयो, किनकि फौजले सुने कि, “राजाले आफ्नो छोराको निम्ति विलाप गर्दै छन् ।”

And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.

3 जसरी युद्ध हारेर लाजमा परेका मानिसहरू युद्धबाट सुटुक्‍क भाग्‍छन्, त्‍यसरी नै त्‍यो दिन सपाहीहरू चुपचाप सुटुक्‍क सहरभित्र पस्‍नुपरेको थियो ।

And the people made their way back to the town quietly and secretly, as those who are shamed go secretly when they go in flight from the war.

4 राजाले आफ्नो शिर ढाके र ठुलो सोरमा कराए, “ए मेरो छोरा ए अब्शालोम, ए अब्शालोम, ए मेरो छोरा, ए मेरो छोरा!”

But the king, covering his face, gave a great cry, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

5 तब योआब राजाको घरभित्र पसे र उनलाई भने, “आज तपाईंले आफ्नो सारा सिपाहीको मुहार लाजमा पार्नुभएको छ, जसले आज तपाईंको जीवन, तपाईंका छोराहरूका र तपाईंका छोरीहरूका र तपाईंका पत्‍नीहरूका जीवन र तपाईंका उपपत्‍नीहरूका पत्‍नीहरूको जीवन बचाए,

And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;

6 किनभने जसले तपाईंलाई घृणा गर्छ त्यसलाई तपाईंले प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ र जसले तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्छ त्यसलाई तपाईं घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ । किनकि कमाण्‍डरहरू र सिपाहीहरू तपाईंका निम्ति केही होइनन् भन्‍ने कुरा आज तपाईंको देखाउनुभएको छ । आज मलाई विश्‍वास भयो कि अब्शालोम बाँचेको भए र हामी सबै मरेको भए तपाईं खुसी हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।

For your haters, it seems, are dear to you, and your friends are hated. For you have made it clear that captains and servants are nothing to you: and now I see that if Absalom was living and we had all been dead today, it would have been right in your eyes.

7 यसकारण अब उठ्नुहोस् र बाहिर जानुहोस् र आफ्नो सिपाहीहरूसँग दयापूर्वक कुरा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि म परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खान्छु, तपाईं जानुभएन भने, आज राती तपाईंसँग एक जना पुरुष पनि रहने छैन । त्यो तपाईंको जवान अवस्थादेखि अहिलेसम्म घटेका सबै भन्दा खराब कुरा हुने छ ।”

So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.

8 त्यसैले राजा उठे र सहरको ढोकामा बसे, र सबै मानिसलाई यसो भनियो, “हेर, राजा ढोकामा बसेका छन् ।” अनि सबै मानिस राजाको सामु आए । त्‍यति बेला इस्राएलका सबै मानिस भगरे आआफ्ना घरमा गएका थिए ।

Then the king got up and took his seat near the town-door. And word was given to all the people that the king was in the public place: and all the people came before the king. Now all the men of Israel had gone back in flight to their tents.

9 इस्राएलका सारा कुलमा सबै मानिसले यसो भन्‍दै आपसमा बहस गर्दै थिए, “राजाले हामीलाई हाम्रा शत्रुहरूका हातबाट बचाए, र उनले हामीलाई पलिश्‍तीहरूका हातबाट पनि बचाए, तर उनी अहिले अब्शालोमको कारणले देशबाट भागेका छन् ।

And through all the tribes of Israel the people were having arguments, saying, The king made us safe from the hands of those who were against us and made us free from the hands of the Philistines; and now he has gone in flight from the land, because of Absalom.

10 हामीले अभिषेक गरेको अब्शालोम युद्धमा मरेका छन् । त्यसैले राजालाई फिर्ता ल्याउने बारेमा किन तिमीहरू केही बोल्दैनौ?”

And Absalom, whom we made a ruler over us, is dead in the fight. So now why do you say nothing about getting the king back? And word of what all Israel was saying came to the king.

11 राजाले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरूलाई यसो भन्‍ने खबर पठाए, “यहूदाका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई सोध, 'राजालाई उनको दरबारमा फिर्ता ल्याउन सबै इस्राएलको कुरा उनको पक्षमा भएको हुनाले राजालाई उनको दरबारमा ल्याउन तिमीहरू किन अन्तिम हुन्‍छौ?

And King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, Say to the responsible men of Judah, Why are you the last to take steps to get the king back to his house?

12 तिमीहरू मेरो दाजुभाइ, मेरो मासु र हाड हौ । तब राजालाई फिर्ता ल्याउन तिमीहरू किन अन्तिम हुन्‍छौ?'

You are my brothers, my bone and my flesh; why are you the last to get the king back again?

13 त्यसपछि अमासालाई भन, 'के तिमी मेरो मासु र मेरो हाड होइनौ? आज उप्रान्त तिमी यआबको सट्टामा मेरो फौजको कमाण्‍डर भएनौ भने परमेश्‍वरले मलाई यसै वा योभन्दा बढी गरून्' ।”

And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God's punishment be on me, if I do not make you chief of the army before me at all times in place of Joab!

14 त्यसैले तिनले यहूदाका सबै मानिसका हृदयहरू एक जना मानिसको झैं गरी जिते । तिनीहरूले राजाकहाँ यसो भन्‍ने खबर पठाए, “तपाईं र तपाईंका सबै मानिस फर्कनुहोस् ।”

And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

15 त्यसैले राजा फर्के र यर्दनमा आए । अब यहूदाका मानिसहरू गिलगालमा आए अनि राजालाई यर्दन वारि ल्याए ।

So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

16 बेन्यामिनी गेराका छोरा शिमी पनि बहूरीमबाट यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँगै हतार-हतार राजालाई भेट्न आए ।

And Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, got up quickly and went down with the men of Judah for the purpose of meeting King David;

17 तिनीसित त्यहाँ बेन्यामीन कुलका मानिसहरू एक हजार जना थिए, र शाऊलका सेवक सीबा, तिनका पन्ध्र जना छोरा र तिनीसँगै बिस जना सेवक थिए ।

And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba, the servant of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, came rushing to Jordan before the king,

18 तिनीहरू राजालाई ल्याउन र उनलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर्न पारि गए । गेराका छोरा शिमीले यर्दन तर्न सुरु गर्नअगि राजालाई साष्‍टङ्ग दण्‍डवत् गरे ।

And kept going across the river to take the people of the king's house over, and to do whatever was desired by the king. And Shimei, the son of Gera, went down on his face in the dust before the king, when he was about to go over Jordan,

19 शिमीले राजालाई भने, “मेरो मालिक महाराजाले यरूशलेम छोडेको दिन हजुरका दासले गरेको कुरा मनमा नलिनुहोला वा दोषी नठहराउनुहोला । कृपया, यसलाई राजाले हृदयमा नराख्‍नुहोला ।

And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.

20 किनकि हजुरको दासले पाप गरेको छ भनी जानेको छ । हेर्नुहोस्, म आज योसेफको सबै कुलबाट मेरो मालिक महाराजालाई भेट्न आउनेमा म पहिलो भएको छु ।”

For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.

21 तर सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैले जवाफ दिएर भने, “के शिमीलाई यसको निम्ति मर्नु पर्दैन किनभने त्‍यसले परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्‍तलाई सरापेको छ?”

But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?

22 तब दाऊदले भने, “ए सरूयाहका छोराहरू तिमीहरूको मसँग के सरोकार, कि तिमीहरू आज मेरो विरोधीहरू हुन्छौ? के आजको दिन इस्राएलमा कुनै मानिसलाई मारिने छ र? किनकि आज म इस्राएलका राजा हुँ भन्‍ने कुरा मलाई थाहा छैन र?”

And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you put yourselves against me today? is it right for any man in Israel to be put to death today? for I am certain today that I am king in Israel.

23 त्यसैले राजाले शिमीलाई भने, “तिमी मर्ने छैनौ ।” त्यसैले राजाले शपथसहित तिनलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरे ।

So the king said to Shimei, You will not be put to death. And the king gave him his oath.

24 त्यसपछि शाऊलका नाति मपीबोशेत राजालाई भेट्न तल आए । तिनले राजा गएको दिनदेखि उनी शान्तिसँग घर नफर्केसम्म उनले आफ्नो खुट्टाको नङ्ग काटेका थिएनन्, न दाह्री नै काटे न लुगा नै धोएका थिए ।

And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son, came down for the purpose of meeting the king; his feet had not been cared for or his hair cut or his clothing washed from the day when the king went away till the day when he came back in peace.

25 त्यसैले जब तिनी यरूशलेमबाट राजालाई भेट्न आए, राजाले तिनलाई भने, “ए मपीबोशेत, तिमी किन मसँग गएनौ?”

Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

26 तिनले जवाफ दिए, “ए मेरो मालिक महाराजा, मेरो सेवकले मलाई धोका दियो, किनकि मैले भनें, 'म गधामा जीन-लगाम लगाउने छु, ताकि म यसमा चढ्न र राजासँग जान सकूँ, किनभने हजुरको सेवक लङ्गडो छ ।'

And he said in answer, Because of the deceit of my servant, my lord king: for I, your servant, said to him, You are to make ready an ass and on it I will go with the king, for your servant has not the use of his feet.

27 म हजुरको सेवकको बारेमा मेरो सेवक सीबाले हजुरसँग निन्दा गरेको छ । तर मेरो मालिक महाराजा स्वर्दूतजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ । यसकारण, तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा जे असल छ त्यही गर्नुहोस् ।

He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.

28 किनकि मेरो मालिक राजाको सामु मेरो बुबाको सबै घराना मृत मानिसहरू थिए, तर हजुरले आफ्नो सेवकलाई आफ्नै टेबलमा खानेमध्येको बनाउनुभयो । यसकारण म अझै राजासँग पुकारा गर्नुपर्ने मेरो के अधिकार छ र?”

For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?

29 तब राजाले तिनलाई भने, “अझ अरू बेलीबिस्‍तार किन गर्नु? तिमी र सीबाले जमिन बाँड्‍नुपर्छ भनी मैले निर्णय गरेको छु ।”

And the king said, Say nothing more about these things. I say, Let there be a division of the land between Ziba and you.

30 मपीबोशेतले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “होस्, त्यसैले सबै लैजाओस्, किनभने मेरो मालिक महाराजा आफ्नो घरमा सुरक्षित आउनुभएको छ ।”

And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!

31 त्यसपछि रोगेलीमबाट गिलादी बर्जिल्लै तल आए राजासँगै यर्दन तरे र तिनी राजासँगै यर्दन पारि गए ।

And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went on as far as Jordan with the king to take him across Jordan.

32 यति बेला बर्जिल्लै धेरै वृद्ध, असी वर्षका भएका थिए । राजा महनोममा बस्‍दा तिनले राजालाई सबै खाद्यन्‍नहरू दिएका उपलब्ध गरेका थिए, किनभने तिनी धेरै धनी मनिस थिए ।

Now Barzillai was a very old man, as much as eighty years old: and he had given the king everything he had need of, while he was at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

33 राजाले बर्जिल्लैलाई भने, “मसँगै आउनुहोस् र मसँग यरूशलेम बस्‍नलाई म तपाईंलाई प्रबन्ध मिलाउने छु ।”

And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.

34 बर्जिल्लैले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “मेरो जीवनका वर्षहरूमा कति दिन बाँकी छन् र ताकि म महाराजासँग यरूशलेममा जाऊँ?

And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?

35 म असी वर्ष भएँ । के म असल र खराब बिच भिन्‍नता छुट्टाउन सक्छु र? के हजुरको सेवकले के खायो र के पियो भनी स्वाद लिन सक्छ र? कै मैले गायक पुरुष र गायक महिलाको सोर अझै सुन्‍न सक्छु र? अनि हजुरको सेवक मेरो मालिक महाराजाको निम्ति किन बोझ बन्‍नु र?

I am now eighty years old: good and bad are the same to me; have meat and drink any taste for me now? am I able to take pleasure in the voices of men or women in song? why then am I to be a trouble to my lord the king?

36 हजुरको सेवक महाराजासँग यर्दन पारिसम्म मात्र जान चाहन्छ । महाराजाले मलाई किन यस्तो इनाम दिनुहुन्छ?

Your servant's desire was only to take the king over Jordan; why is the king to give me such a reward?

37 कृपया आफ्नो सेवकलाई घर फर्कन दिनुहोस्, ताकि मेरो आफ्नै सहरमा मेरो बुबा र आमाको चिहानको छेउमा म मर्न पाऊँ । तर हेर्नुहोस्, हजुरको सेवक किमहाम छ । मेरो मालिकसँग त्यही नै जाओस् र हजुरलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो त्यसको निम्‍ति गरिदिनुहोस् ।”

Let your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.

38 राजाले जवाफ दिए, “किमहाम मसँगै जाने छ, र म त्यसको निम्ति तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो म गर्ने छु र तपाईंले मबाट जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्‍छ सो म तपाईंको निम्ति गर्ने छु ।”

And the king said in answer, Let Chimham go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you: and whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

39 त्यसपछि सबै मानिसहरूले यर्दन तरे र राजाले पनि यर्दन तरे, अनि राजाले बर्जिल्लैलाई चुम्बन गरेर तिनलाई आशिष् दिए । तब बर्जिल्लै तिनको आफ्नै घरमा फर्के ।

Then all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king gave Barzillai a kiss, with his blessing; and he went back to his place.

40 यसरी राजा पारि गिलगालमा आए र किमहाम उनीसँगै पारि आए । यहूदाका सबै फौज र इस्राएलका आधा फौजले राजालाई लिएर आए ।

So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him: and all the people of Judah, as well as half the people of Israel, took the king on his way.

41 चाँडै इस्राएलका सबै मानिस राजाकहाँ आउन लागे र राजालाई यसो भन्‍न लागे, “हाम्रा दाजुभाइ अर्थात् यहूदाका मानिसहरूले हजुरलाई किन चोरेर लगेका छन्, र महाराजा उहाँका परिवारलाई र दाऊदका सबै मानिसलाई उहाँसँगै यर्दन वारि पुर्‍याएका छन्?”

Then the men of Israel came to the king and said, Why have our countrymen of Judah taken you away in secret and come over Jordan with the king and all his family, because all his people are David's men?

42 त्यसैले यहूदाका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “किनभने राजा हामीसँग अझ धेरै नजिकबाट सम्बन्धित हुनुहुन्‍छ । तब तिमीहरू यसबारे किन रिसाउँछौ? के महाराजाले तिर्नुपर्ने गरी हामीले कुनै कुरा खाएका छौं र? के उहाँले हामीलाई कुनै उपहार दिनुभएको छ र?”

And all the men of Judah gave this answer to the men of Israel, Because the king is our near relation: why then are you angry about this? have we taken any of the king's food, or has he given us any offering?

43 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “हामीसँग महाराजासँग सम्बन्धित दश कुल छन्, त्यसैले दाऊदसँग तिमीहरूको भन्दा धेरै अधिकार हामीसित छ । तब तिमीहरूले हामीलाई किन तुच्‍छ ठान्‍यौ? के हाम्रो राजालाई फिर्ता ल्याउने हाम्रो प्रस्ताव पहिले सुनुवाइ हुनुपर्दैनथ्यौ?” तर यहूदाका मानिसहरूका वचनहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका वचनभन्दा धेरै रुखो थियो ।

And in answer to the men of Judah, the men of Israel said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are the first in order of birth: why did you make nothing of us? and were we not the first to make suggestions for getting the king back? And the words of the men of Judah were more violent than the words of the men of Israel.
