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 inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2 त्यसैले दाऊद तिनकी दुई पत्नीहरू यिजरेली अहीनोम र नाबालकी विधवा कार्मेली अबीगेलसहित माथि गए ।
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
3 दाऊदले आफूसँग भएका मानिसहरूलाई हेब्रोनमा ल्याए र तिनीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्नो परिवारहरू ल्याए, जहाँ तिनीहरू बसोबास गर्न थाले ।
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 त्यसपछि यहूदाका मानिसहरू आए र दाऊदलाई यहूदाको राजा अभिषेक गरे । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “याबेश- गिलादका मानिसहरूले शाऊलको दफन गरे ।”
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that 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 unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
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 the Lord shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7 अब उप्रान्त, तिमीहरूको हात बलियो पार । साहसी होओ किनकि तिमीहरूका मालिक शाऊल मरेका छन् र यहूदाका घरानाले मलाई आफ्ना राजा अभिषेक गरेका छन् ।”
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 तर शाऊलका फौजका कमाण्डरले नेरका छोरा अबनेरले शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतलाई लिए र महनोममा ल्याए ।
But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9 उनले ईश्बोशेतलाई गिलाद, आशेर, यिजरेल, एफ्राइम, बेन्यामीन र सारा इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए ।
And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, 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 ।
Ish-bosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11 दाऊद हेब्रोनमा यहूदाको घरानाको राजा भएका समय सात वर्ष छ महिना थियो ।
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 नेरका छोरा अबनेर र शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतका सेवकहरू महनोमबाट गिबोनमा गए ।
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
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 Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14 अबनेरले योआबलाई भने, “जवान मानिसहरू उठुन् र हाम्रो सामुन्ने प्रतिस्पर्धा गरून् ।” योआबले भने, “तिनीहरू उठुन् ।”
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now 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 ।
Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth 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 caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 त्यस दिन घमसान लडाइँ भयो र अबनेर र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू दाऊदका सेवकहरूको सामुन्ने परास्त भए ।
And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18 सरूयाहका छोराहरू योआब, अबीशै र असाहेल थिए । असाहेल हरिण जत्तिकै छिटो दौडन सक्ने व्यक्ति थिए ।
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19 असाहेल नजिकबाट अबनेरलाई खेदे र तिनी दाहिने-देब्रे कतै नलागी खेदे ।
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20 अबनेरले तिनलाई पछाडि हेरे र भने, “के तिमी असाहेल हौ?” तिनले भने, “हो, म हुँ ।”
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
21 अबनेरले तिनलाई भने, “दाहिने वा देब्रेतिर लाग जवान मानिसमध्ये एक जनालाई समातेर त्यसको हतियार लेऊ ।” तर असाहेलले यताउता फर्केनन् ।
And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of 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 Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
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 ।
Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down 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 ।
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू सबै अबनेरको पछाडि भेला भए र डाँडाको टाकुरामा खडा भए ।
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an 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?”
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their 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 God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in 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 ।
So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 अबनेर र तिनका मानिसहरूले अराबाहुँदै रातभरि यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरू यर्दन तरे, भोलि बिहानभरि हिंडे र त्यसपछि महनोममा पुगे ।
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
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 Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31 तर दाऊदका मानिसहरूले अबनेरसँग भएका ३६० जना मानिसलाई मारेका थिए ।
But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
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 took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
