२ शमूएल 2
1 यसपछि दाऊदले परमप्रभुलाई सोधे र भने, “के म यहूदाका सहरमध्ये कुनै एउटामा जाऊँ?” पमरप्रभुले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “उक्लेर जा ।” दाऊदले भने, “म कुन सहरमा जाऊँ?” परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “हेब्रोनमा जा ।”
And it came to pass after this that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? and the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? and he said, To Chebron.
2 त्यसैले दाऊद तिनकी दुई पत्नीहरू यिजरेली अहीनोम र नाबालकी विधवा कार्मेली अबीगेलसहित माथि गए ।
And David went up there to Chebron, [he] and both his wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
3 दाऊदले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूलाई हेब्रोनमा ल्याए र तिनीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्नो परिवारहरू ल्याए, जहाँ तिनीहरू बसोबास गर्न थाले ।
and the men that were with him, every one and his family; and they lived in the cities of Chebron.
4 त्यसपछि यहूदाका मानिसहरू आए र दाऊदलाई यहूदाको राजा अभिषेक गरे । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “याबेश- गिलादका मानिसहरूले शाऊलको दफन गरे ।”
And the men of Judea come, and anoint David there to reign over the house of Juda; and they reported to David, saying, The men of Jabis of the country of Galaad have buried Saul.
5 त्यसैले दाऊदले याबेश-गिलादमा दूतहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई परमप्रभुले आशिष् दिनुभएको होस्, किनभने तिमीहरूले आफ्ना मालिक शाऊलप्रति यो बफदारीता देखाएका छौ र उनको दफन गरेका छौ
And David sent messengers to the rulers of Jabis of the country of Galaad, and David said to them, Blessed be you of the Lord, because you have wrought this mercy towards your lord, even towards Saul the anointed of the Lord, and you have buried him and Jonathan his son.
6 अब परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई करारको बफदारीता र विश्वासनीयता प्रकट गर्नुभएको होस् । म पनि तिमीहरूको भलो गर्ने छु किनभने तिमीहरूले यो काम गरेका छौ ।
And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth towards you: and I also will requite towards you this good deed, because you have done this.
7 अब उप्रान्त, तिमीहरूको हात बलियो पार । साहसी होओ किनकि तिमीहरूका मालिक शाऊल मरेका छन् र यहूदाका घरानाले मलाई आफ्ना राजा अभिषेक गरेका छन् ।”
And now let your hands be made strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the house of Juda have anointed me to be king over them.
8 तर शाऊलका फौजका कमाण्डरले नेरका छोरा अबनेरले शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतलाई लिए र महनोममा ल्याए ।
But Abenner, the son of Ner, the commander-in-chief of Saul's army, took Jebosthe son of Saul, and brought him up from the camp to Manaem
9 उनले ईश्बोशेतलाई गिलाद, आशेर, यिजरेल, एफ्राइम, बेन्यामीन र सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए ।
and made him king over the land of Galaad, and over Thasiri, and over Jezrael, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी चालिस वर्षका थिए, र तिनले दुई वर्ष राज्य गरे । तर यहूदाको घरानाले दाऊदलाई नै पछ्याए ।
Jebosthe, Saul's son [was] forty years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Juda, who followed David.
11 दाऊद हेब्रोनमा यहूदाको घरानाको राजा भएका समय सात वर्ष छ महिना थियो ।
And the days which David reigned in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months.
12 नेरका छोरा अबनेर र शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतका सेवकहरू महनोमबाट गिबोनमा गए ।
And Abenner the son of Ner went forth, and the servants of Jebosthe the son of Saul, from Manaem to Gabaon.
13 सरूयाहका छोरा योआब र दाऊदका सेवकहरू निस्के र तिनीहरूलाई गिबोनको तलाउनेर भेटे । त्यहाँ तिनीहरू एक समूह तलाउको एक छेउमा र अर्को समूह अर्को छेउमा बसे ।
And Joab the son of Saruia, and the servants of David, went forth from Chebron, and met them at the fountain of Gabaon, at the same place: and these sat down by the fountain on this side, and those by the fountain on that side.
14 अबनेरले योआबलाई भने, “जवान मानिसहरू उठुन् र हाम्रो सामुन्ने प्रतिस्पर्धा गरून् ।” योआबले भने, “तिनीहरू उठुन् ।”
And Abenner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 त्यसपछि जवान मानिसहरू उठे र बेन्यामीन र शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतका निम्ति बाह्र जना र दाऊदका निम्ति बाह्र जना सँगै भेला भए ।
And there arose and passed over by number twelve of the children of Benjamin, belonging to Jebosthe the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 हरेकले आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीलाई टाउकोमा समात्यो र आ-आफ्नो प्रतिद्वन्द्वीको कोखामा आ-आफ्नो तरवारले रोपे र तिनीहरू एकसाथ भुईंमा ढले । यसकारण, त्यस ठाउँलाई “हल्कत-हज्जुरीम” वा “तरवाको मैदान” भनियो जुन गिबोन हो ।
And they seized every one the head of his neighbour with his hand, and his sword [was thrust] into the side of his neighbour, and they fall down together: and the name of that place was called The portion of the treacherous ones, which is in Gabaon.
17 त्यस दिन घमसान लडाइँ भयो र अबनेर र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू दाऊदका सेवकहरूको सामुन्ने परास्त भए ।
And the battle was very severe on that day; and Abenner and the men of Israel were worsted before the servants of David.
18 सरूयाहका छोराहरू योआब, अबीशै र असाहेल थिए । असाहेल हरिण जत्तिकै छिटो दौडन सक्ने व्यक्ति थिए ।
And there were there the three sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his feet as a roe in the field.
19 असाहेल नजिकबाट अबनेरलाई खेदे र तिनी दाहिने-देब्रे कतै नलागी खेदे ।
And Asael followed after Abenner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abenner.
20 अबनेरले तिनलाई पछाडि हेरे र भने, “के तिमी असाहेल हौ?” तिनले भने, “हो, म हुँ ।”
And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asael himself? and he said, I am.
21 अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “दाहिने वा देब्रेतिर लाग जवान मानिसमध्ये एक जनालाई समातेर त्यसको हतियार लेऊ ।” तर असाहेलले यताउता फर्केनन् ।
And Abenner said to him, Turn you to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for yourself on one of the young men, and take to yourself his armour: but Asel would not turn back from following him.
22 त्यसैले अबनेरले असाहेललाई फेरि भने, “मलाई खेद्न छोडिदेऊ । मैले तिमीलाई किन मारेर भुईंमा ढाल्ने? त्यसपछि मैले तिम्रो दाजु योआबकहाँ मेरो अनुहार कसरी देखाउनु?”
And Abenner said yet again to Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I strike you to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?
23 तर असाहेलले तर्केर जान इन्कार गरे, र त्यसैले अबनेरले तिनलाई आफनो भालाको टुप्पोले शरीरमा रोपे, र भाला अर्कोपट्टि निस्क्यो । असाहेल ढले र त्यहीँ नै मरे । त्यसैले असाहेल ढलेर मरेका ठाउँमा आउने जो आउँथ्यो, त्यो रोकिन्थ्यो र खडा हुन्थ्यो ।
And what does this mean? return to Joab your brother? But he would not stand aloof; and Abenner smites him with the hinder end of the spear on the loins, and the spear went out behind him, and he falls there and dies on the spot: and it came to pass that every one that came to the place where Asael fell and died, stood still.
24 तर योआब र अबीशैले अबनेरलाई खेदिरहे । जब घाम डुब्न गइरहेको थियो, तिनीहरू अम्मा डाँडामा आइपुगे, जुन गिबोनको उजाडस्थान जाने बाटोको नजिक गीहनेर पर्छ ।
And Joab and Abessa pursued after Abenner, and the sun went down: and they went as far as the hill of Amman, which is in the front of Gai, by the desert way of Gabaon.
25 बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू सबै अबनेरको पछाडि भेला भए र डाँडाको टाकुरामा खडा भए ।
And the children of Benjamin who followed Abenner gather themselves together, and they formed themselves into one body, and stood on the top of a hill.
26 त्यसपछि अबनेरले कराएर योआबलाई भने, “के सधैं तरवारले नाश गर्नैपर्छ? के त्यो अन्तमा तितो हुन्छ भनी तिमी जान्दैनौ? तिम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तिमीले आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई खेद्न छोड भन्नुभन्दा पहिले कति लामो समय हुने छ?”
And Abenner called Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? know you not that it will be bitter at last? How long then will you refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren?
27 योआबले जवाफ दिए, “जस्तो परमेश्वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमीले त्यसो नभनेको भए मेरा सिपाहीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई बिहानसम्म नै खेद्ने थिए ।”
And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if you had not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 त्यसैले योआबले तुरही फुके र तिनका सबै मानिसहरू रोकिए र फेरि इस्राएललाई खेदेनन् नत तिनीहरूले फेरि युद्ध गरे ।
And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer.
29 अबनेर र तिनका मानिसहरूले अराबाहुँदै रातभरि यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरू यर्दन तरे, भोलि बिहानभरि हिंडे र त्यसपछि महनोममा पुगे ।
And Abenner and his men departed at evening, [and went] all that night, and crossed over Jordan, and went along the whole adjacent [country], and they come to the camp.
30 योआब अबनेरलाई लखेट्न छाडेर फर्के । तिनले आफ्ना सबै मानिसलाई भेला पारे जसमा असाहेल र दाऊदका उन्नाइस जना सिपाही मात्र भेट्टाइएनन् ।
And Joab returned from following Abenner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asael.
31 तर दाऊदका मानिसहरूले अबनेरसँग भएका ३६० जना मानिसलाई मारेका थिए ।
And the servants of David struck of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abenner, three hundred and sixty men belonging to him.
32 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूके असाहेललाई लिए तिनका बुबाको चिहानमा गाडे, जुन बेथलेहेममा थियो । योआब र तिनका मानिसहरूले रातभरि यात्रा गरे र झिसमिसमा हेब्रोन पुगे ।
And they take up Asael, and bury him in the tomb of his father in Bethleem. And Joab and the men with him went all the night, and the morning rose upon them in Chebron.
