< २ शमूएल 21 >

1 दाऊदको समयमा तीन वर्षसम्म अनकाल पर्‍यो र दाऊदले परमप्रभुको मुहारको खोजी गरे । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “यो अनिकाल शाऊल र तिनका हत्यारा परिवारको कारणले भएको हो, किनभने त्‍यसले गोबोनीहरूलाई मार्‍यो ।”
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 अब गिबोनीहरूचाहिं इस्राएलका मानिसहरू थिएनन् । तिनीहरू बाँकी रहेका एमोरीमध्येका थिए । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई नमार्ने शपथ खाएका थिए, तर शाऊलले इस्राएल र यहूदाको मानिसहरूको निम्तिको जोशले गर्दा तिनीहरू सबैलाई मार्ने कोसिस गरे ।
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and yet Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah),
3 त्यसैले दाऊदले गिबोनीहरूलाई एकसाथ बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मैले तिमीहरूको निम्ति के गर्नुपर्छ? मैले कसरी प्रायश्‍चित गर्न सक्छु, ताकि परमप्रभुको भलाइ र प्रतिज्ञा पाएका उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई तिमीहरूले आशिष् दिन सक्‍छौ?”
and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
4 गिबोनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हामी र शाऊल वा तिनका परिवारका बिचमा सुन वा चाँदीका कुरा होइन । यसै गरी हामीले इस्राएलका कुनै मानिसलाई मार्ने होइन ।” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “मैले तिमीहरूको निम्ति के गर्नुपर्छ, तिमीहरू के भन्छौ?”
And the Gibeonites said to him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that I will do for you.
5 तिनीहरूले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “हामी सबैलाई मार्न खोज्‍ने मानिस जसले हाम्रो विरुद्ध षड्यान्त्र गरे, ताकि हामी अहिले नाश भएका छौं र इस्राएलको सिमानाभित्र हाम्रो स्थान छैन,
And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 तिनको सन्‍तानबाट सात जना मानिसलाई हामीकहाँ सुम्‍पियोस् र हामीले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुद्वारा चुनिएको शाऊलको गिबामा परमप्रभुको सामु झुन्ड्याउने छौं ।” त्यसैले राजाले भने, “म तिमीहरूलाई ती दिने छु ।”
let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give them.
7 तर दाऊद र शाऊलका छोरा जोनाथन, तिनीहरूका बिचमा भएको परमप्रभुको शपथको कारणले गर्दा राजाले जोनाथनका छोरा मपीबोशेतलाई छोडिदिए ।
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 तर राजाले अय्याकी छोरी रिश्‍पाका दुई जना छोराला जसलाई त्‍यसले शाऊलबाट जन्माएकी थिई उनीहरूको नाउँ आरमोनी र मपीबोशेत थियो । अनि दाऊदले महिलोती बर्जिल्लैका छोरा अद्रीएलबाट शाऊलकी छोरी मेराबले जन्माएकी पाँच जना छोरालाई लिए ।
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 तिनले उनीहरूलाई गिबोनीहरूको हातमा सुम्‍पे । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको सामु पहाडमा झुण्डाए र उनीहरू सातै जना एकसाथ मरे । उनीहरूलाई जौको कटनीको सुरुमा कटनी गर्ने सुरुका दिनहरूमा मारिएका थिए ।
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they hanged them in the mountain before Jehovah, and they fell all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 अय्याकी छोरी रिश्‍पाले भाङ्ग्रा लिइन् र ती लाशहरूको छेउमा आफ्‍नो निम्‍ति त्‍यो ओछ्‍याएर कटनीको सुरुदेखि आकाशबाट तिनीहरूमाथि पानी नपरेसम्म नै बसिराखिन् । तिनले ती लाशहरूलाई दिनमा आकाशमा उड्ने चराहरूलाई र रातमा जङ्‍गली पशुहरूलाई खान दिइनन् ।
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven. And she neither allowed the birds of the heaven to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 अय्याकी छोरी, शाऊलकी उपपत्‍नी रिश्‍पाले जे गरेकी थिइन् त्‍यसको बारेमा दाऊदलाई भनियो ।
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 त्यसैले दाऊद गए र शाऊल र तिनका छोरा जोनाथनका हाड्‍डीहरू याबेश-गिलादका मानिसहरूबाट लिएर आए, जसले बेथ-शानको चोकबाट ती चोरेका थिए, जहाँ पलिश्‍तीहरूले शाऊललाई गिल्बोमा मरेपछि ती पलिश्‍तीहरूले उनीहरूलाई झुण्ड्याएका थिए ।
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa,
13 दाऊदले त्‍यहाँबाट शाऊल र तिनका छोरा जोनाथनका हड्‍डीहरू लिएर गए र तिनीहरूले झुण्ड्याइएका ती सात जना मानिसका हड्‍डीहरू पनि जम्‍मा गरे ।
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
14 तिनीहरूले शाऊल र तिनका छोरा जोनाथनका हड्‍डीहरू बेन्यामीनको गाउँमा सलामा भएको तिनका बुबा कीशको चिहानमा गाडे । राजाले आज्ञा गरेका सबै कुरा तिनीहरूले गरे । त्यसपछि देशको निम्ति तिनीहरूका प्रार्थनाहरूका जवाफ परमेश्‍वरले दिनुभयो ।
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulcher of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
15 त्यसपछि पलिश्‍तीहरू फेरि इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न गए । त्यसैले दाऊद आफ्नो फौजका साथमा तल गए र पलिश्‍तीहरूको विरुद्ध लडे । दाऊद युद्धको थकानले लखतरान भएका थिए ।
And the Philistines had war again with Israel. And David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David grew faint,
16 दैत्यका सन्तान इश्बी-बनिबले दाऊदलाई मार्न खोजे, जसको काँसाको भालाको तौल साँढे तीन किलो थियो र नयाँ तरवार भिरेको थियो ।
and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 तर सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैले दाऊदलाई बचाए, त्यो पलिश्‍तीलाई आक्रमण गरे र त्‍यसलाई मारे । तब दाऊदका मानिसहरूले तिनीसँग यसो भनेर शपथ खाए, “तपाईं अबदेखि हामीसित लडाइँमा जानुहुने छैन, ताकि तपाईंले इस्राएलको बत्ती निबाउनुहन्‍न ।”
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shall no more go out with us to battle, that thou not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 यसपछि फेरि पनि गोबमा पलिश्‍तीहरूसँग युद्ध भयो, त्यस बेला हूशाती सिब्‍बकैले सफलाई मारे जो रफाको सन्तानमध्ये एक थिए ।
And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
19 गोबमा फेरि पनि पलिश्‍तीहरूसँग लडाइँ भयो, त्यस बेला बेथलेहेमवासी यारे-ओरगिमका छोरा गोल्यातलाई मारे, जसको भालाको बिंड जुलाहाको डण्डाजस्तै थियो ।
And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 गातमा फेरि अर्को लडाइँ भयो, त्यहाँ हरेक हातमा छ-छ वटा औंला र हरेक खुट्टामा पनि छ-छ वटा औंला गरी चौबिस वटा औंला भएका निकै अग्लो मानिस थियो । त्यो पनि रफाको सन्तान नै थियो ।
And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
21 त्यसले इस्राएलको अपमान गर्दा दाऊदका दाजु शिमाहका छोरा जोनाथनले त्यसलाई मार्‍यो ।
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, killed him.
22 गातको रफाका सन्तानहरू यी नै थिए, र तिनीहरू दाऊदका हातद्वारा र तिनका सिपाहरूका हातद्वारा मारिए ।
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
