२ शमूएल 19

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

It was told Joab, "Look, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom."

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

The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, "The king grieves for his son."

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

So the people went quietly into the city that day, the way that people who are humiliated creep away when fleeing in battle.

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

The king covered his face, and he cried with a loud voice, "My son Absalom, Absalom, 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,

Then Joab went into the house to the king, and said, "Today you have humiliated the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life and the lives of your sons and of your daughters and the lives of your wives and the lives of your secondary wives;

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 ।

by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you. For you know that if Absalom were alive today, and all of us had died, then you would be pleased.

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 ।”

Now therefore get up, go out and speak kindly to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you this night, and that will be worse for you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now."

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 ।

So the king got up and sat at the gate. And all the people were informed, saying, "Look, the king is sitting at the gate." And all the people came before the king. Meanwhile, Israel had fled each man to his tent.

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 ।

All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land and from being over his kingdom.

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

And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you not speak a word of bringing the king back?" And the talk of all Israel 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?

So king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his palace?

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

You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'

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, 'Aren't you my bone and my flesh? Now then, God do so to me, and more also, if you aren't commander of the army before me continually 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 ।”

Thus the heart of all the men of Judah was inclined as one man, so that they sent a message to the king, "Return, you and all your servants."

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

So the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, having come down to meet the king, to bring the king across the Jordan.

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

And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet 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 a thousand men from Benjamin with him. But Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, waded through the Jordan ahead of 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 did the work of bringing the king across and to do whatever he wished. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he crossed the 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 ।

Then he said to the king, "May my lord not consider punishment. Do not remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king left Jerusalem, so that the king should call it to mind.

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 knows that I have sinned. Therefore, look, I have come today the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet 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 replied, "Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"

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?”

But David replied, "What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should become my adversaries today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do you not know that today I begin to rule over Israel?"

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

Then the king said to Shimei, "You will not die." 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 ।

Now Mippibaal son of Jonathan son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither cared for his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back safely.

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

And it happened when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mippibaal?"

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 ।'

So he answered, "My lord king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said to him, 'Saddle a donkey for me so that I may ride on it and go with the king,' for your servant is lame.

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 ।

And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king did that which was good in my eyes, like an angel of God.

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 though all my father's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, yet you placed your servant among those who eat at your table. From whom, then, could I have finer treatment?" But when he cried out to the king,

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

the king said, "Why do you multiply your words? I say: You and Ziba divide the property."

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

And Mippibaal said to the king, "Yes, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home."

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

Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim, and he went with the king to conduct him from the 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, eighty years old; and he had provided for the king while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich 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 provide for your old age in Jerusalem with me."

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

But Barzillai said to the king, "How many more days would I have there, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

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. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of male and female singers? Why then should your servant be any further burden to my lord the king?

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

Your servant will cross the Jordan with the king for a short distance. Why should the king compensate me in this way?

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 ।”

Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over 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 answered, "Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him whatever I consider appropriate, and whatever you require of me I will do 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 ।

All the people crossed over the Jordan, but the king remained. Then the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own 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 Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

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?”

Look, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?"

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?”

The men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's cost? Has he given us a gift? Or has he brought us a portion?"

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 ।

Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king, and we are the firstborn rather than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?" But the comments of the men of Judah were more forceful than the comments of the men of Israel.
