२ शमूएल 20
1 त्यही ठाउँमा बेन्यामिनी बिक्रीको छोरो शेबा नाउँको एक जना समस्या उत्पन्न गराउने मानिस थियो । त्यसले तुरही फुक्यो र भन्यो, “दाऊदसँग हाम्रो कुनै हिस्सा छैन, न त यिशैको छोरासँग हाम्रो कुनै उत्तराधिकार नै छ । ए इस्राएल, हरेक मानिस आआफ्ना घर जाओ ।”
And there was a transgressor [so] called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we [any] inheritance in the son of Jessae: to your tents, O Israel, every one.
2 त्यसैले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले दाऊदलाई छोडे र बिक्रीको छोरा शेबाको पछि लागे । तर यहूदाका मानिसहरू यर्दन देखि यरूशलेमसम्म नै आफ्ना राजाको पछिपछि गए ।
And all the men of Israel went up from following David after Sabee the son of Bochori: but the men of Juda adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 जब दाऊद यरूशलेममा आफ्नो दरबारमा आए, तब उनले दरबारको हेरचाह गर्न छोडेका दश जना पत्नीलाई लिए र तिनले उनीहरूलाई पालेको अधीनमा एउटा घरमा राखे । उनले उनीहरूलाई चाहिने सबै कुरा जुटाइदिए, तर तिनी फेरि उनीहरूसँग सुतेनन् । त्यसैले उनीहरूको मृत्युको दिनसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई नजरबन्द गरियो, यसरी उनीहरू विधवाहरू भएझैं बसे ।
And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and went not in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death.
4 त्यसपछि राजाले अमासालाई भने, “तीन दिनभित्र यहूदाका मानिसहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गर । तिमी पनि यहाँ हुनुपर्छ ।”
And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Juda for three days, and do you be present here.
5 त्यसैले अमासा यहूदालाई बोलाउन गए तर तिनलाई राजाले तोकेको समयभन्दा तिनी ढिला भए ।
And Amessai went to call Juda, and delayed beyond the time which David appointed him.
6 त्यसैले दाऊदले अबीशैलाई भने, “अब बिक्रीका छोरा शेबाले हामीलाई अब्शालोमले भन्दा धेरै हानि गर्ने छ । तिम्रो मालिकका सेवकहरू, अर्थात् मेरा सिपाहरूलाई लिएर जाऊ र त्यसलाई खेद नत्र त्यसले किल्लाबन्दी गरेको सहर भेट्टाउने छ र हाम्रा नजरबाट उम्किने छ ।”
And David said to Amessai, Now shall Sabee the son of Bochori do us more harm than Abessalom: now then take you with you the servants of your lord, and follow after him, lest he find for himself strong cities, so will he blind our eyes.
7 त्यसपछि योआबका मानिसहरू, करेतीहरू, पलेथीहरू र सबै वीर योद्धासँगै त्यसको पछिपछि गए । तिनीहरूले बिक्रीको छोरो शेबालाई खेदन यरूशलेमबाट विदा भए ।
And there went out after him Amessai and the men of Joab, and the Cherethites, and the Phelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.
8 जब तिनीहरू गिबोनको ठुलो ढुङ्गामा थिए, तब अमासा तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न आए । योआबले हातियार सहितको जङ्गी पोशाक लगाएका थिए जसको कम्मरमा पेटी र त्यसमा दापमा छुरा हुन्थ्यो । जसै तिनी अगि बढे, छुरा खस्यो ।
And they [were] by the great stone that is in Gabaon: and Amessai went in before them: and Joab had upon him a military cloak over his apparel, and over it he was girded with a dagger fastened upon his loins in its scabbard: and the dagger came out, it even came out and fell.
9 त्यसैले योआबले अमासालाई भने, “हे मेरो भाइ, तिमीलाई ठिकै छ?” योआबले अमासालाई चुम्बन गर्न दाह्रीमा समाते ।
And Joab said to Amessai, Are you in health, [my] brother? and the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard of Amessai to kiss him.
10 अमासाले योबको देब्रे हातमा भएको छुरालाई ख्यालै गरेनन् । योआबले अमासाको पेटमा रोपिदिए र तिनको आन्द्राभुँडी जमिनमा झर्यो । योआबले तिनलाई अर्को पटक प्रहार गरेनन् र अमासा मरे । यसरी योआब र तिनको भाइ अबीशैले बिक्रीका छोरो शेबालाई पछ्याउँदै गए ।
And Amessai observed not the dagger that was in the hand of Joab: and Joab struck him with it on the loins, and his bowels were shed out upon the ground, and he did not repeat the blow, and he died: and Joab and Abessai his brother pursued after Sabee the son of Bochori.
11 योआबका मानिसमध्ये एक जना अमासाको छेउमा खडा भयो र त्यो मानिसले भन्यो, “त्यो जसले योआबको पक्ष लिन्छ र त्यो जो दाऊदको पक्षमा छ, त्यसले योआबलाई पछ्याओस् ।”
And there stood over him one of the servants of Joab, and said, Who [is] he that is for Joab, and who [is] on the side of David following Joab?
12 अमासा बिच बाटोमा आफ्नै रगतमा यताउता पल्टिरहे । सबै मानिस चुपचाप खडा भएको त्यो मानिसले देखेपछि त्यसले अमासालाई घिसारेर बाटोदेखि बाहिर खेतमा लग्यो । त्यसले लासमाथि कपडाले छोपिदियो किनभने उसको छेउमा आउने हरेक मानिस खडा भएको त्यसले देख्यो ।
And Amessai [was] weltering in blood in the midst of the way. And a man saw that all the people stood still; and he removed Amessai out of the path into a field, and he cast a garment upon him, because he saw every one that came to him standing still.
13 अमासालाई बाटोदेखि बाहिर लगेपछि बिक्रीको छोरो शेबालाई खेद्न सबै मानिसले योआबलाई पछ्याए ।
And when he was quickly removed from the road, every man of Israel passed after Joab to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.
14 शेबा इस्राएलका सबै कुल हुँदै गएर बेथ-माकाको हबिलमा पुग्यो र बरीहरूका सारा देशबाट भएर गयो जो एकसाथ भेला भए र शेबाको पछि लागे ।
And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmacha; and all in Charri too were assembled, and followed after him.
15 तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बेथ-माकाको हाबिलमा भेट्टाए र घेराबन्दी गरे । तिनीहरूले सहरको विरुद्ध एउटा घेरा-मचान बनाए । योआबसँग भएका सबै फौजले पर्खाललाई ढाल्नलाई त्यसमा हिर्काउन लागे ।
And they came and besieged him in Abel and Phermacha: and they raised a mound against the city and it stood close to the wall; and all the people with Joab proposed to throw down the wall.
16 त्यसपछि एक जना बुद्धिमान स्त्रीले सहरबाट कराएर भनिन्, “ए योआब, सुन्नुहोस्, कृपया सुन्नुहोस्! मेरो नजिक आउनुहोस् र म तपाईंसँग कुरा गर्न सक्छु ।”
And a wise woman cried from the wall, and said, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Draw near hither, and I will speak to him.
17 त्यसैले योआब तिनको नजिक गए र ती स्त्रीले भनिन्, “के तपाईं योआब हुनुहुन्छ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म हुँ ।” तब तिनलाई उनले भनिन्, “तपाईंकी दासीको कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म सुन्दै छु ।”
And he drew near to her, and the woman said to him, Are you Joab? and he said, I [am]. And she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid; and Joab said, I do hear.
18 तब उनले भनिन्, “प्राचीन समयमा तिनीहरू भन्ने गर्थे, 'निश्चय हबिलमा सल्लाह लिन जाऊ,' र त्यो सल्लाहले कुरा मिल्थ्यो ।
And she spoke, saying, Of old time they said thus, Surely one was asked in Abel, and Dan, whether the faithful in Israel failed in what they purposed; they will surely ask in Abel, even in like manner, whether they have failed.
19 इस्राएलको सबभन्दा शान्तिपूर्ण र विश्वासयोग्य हाम्रै सहर हो । तपाईंले इस्राएलको आमा सहरलाई नाश गर्न खोज्दै हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले परमप्रभुको उत्तराधिकारलाई किन निल्न चाहनुहुन्छ?
I am a peaceful one of the strong ones in Israel; but you seek to destroy a city and a mother city in Israel: why do you seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord?
20 त्यसैले योआबले जवाफ दिए र भने, “मैले सहर निल्ने वा नाश गर्ने कुरा मबाट दूर रहोस् ।
And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should ruin or destroy.
21 त्यो सत्य होइन । तर बिक्रीको छोरा शेबा नाउँ गरेका एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको एक जना मानिसले दाऊद राजाको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो हात उठाएको छ । त्यसलाई मकहाँ सुम्पिदिनुहोस् र म सहरबाट पछि हट्ने छु ।” ती स्त्रीले योआबलाई भनिन्, “त्यसको टाउको पर्खालबाट बाहिर तपाईंकहाँ फालिने छ ।”
Is not the case thus, that a man of mount Ephraim, Sabee, son of Bochori by name, has even lifted up his hand against king David? Give him only to me, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
22 त्यसपछि ती स्त्री आफ्नो बुद्धिमा सबै मानिसकहाँ गइन् । तिनीहरूले बिक्रीका छोरा शेबाको टाउको काटे र त्यो बाहिर योआबकहाँ फालिदिए । तब योआबले तुरही फुके र तिनका मानिसहरूले सहर छोडेर हरेक मानिस आआफ्नो घर गए । अनि योआबचाहिं यरूशलेममा राजाकहाँ फर्के ।
And the woman went in to all the people, and she spoke to all the city in her wisdom; and they took off the head of Sabee the son of Bochori; and took it away and threw it to Joab: and he blew the trumpet, and the people separated from the city away from him, every man to his tent: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

Moreover Iras the [son of] Iarin was priest to David.
