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 besought the presence of the Lord. And the Lord said, On account of Saul, and on account of the house of blood, is this; because he hath slain the Gib'onites.
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 for the Gib'onites, and said unto them: [now the Gib'onites are not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Emorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; but Saul had sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel in 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?”
Wherefore David said unto the Gib'onites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
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 Gib'onites said unto him, We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul and with his house: nor do we wish to kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye say, will I 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 that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed, so that we should have no footing in all the boundaries 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 there be delivered unto us seven men of his sons, and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Gib'ah of Saul, the chosen of the Lord. 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 had pity on Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the Lord'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 ।
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, whom she had born unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had brought up for 'Adriel the son of Barzillai the Mecholathite:
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 hand of the Gib'onites, and they hanged them on the mount before the Lord; and they fell, these seven, together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the 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 Ayah took sackcloth, and spread out it for herself upon the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped down upon them out of heaven, and she suffered neither the birds of 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 to David what Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, 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 then went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Yabeshgil'ad, who had stolen them from the market-place of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them up, at the time the Philistines had smitten Saul at 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 up the bones of those that had been 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 at Zela', in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king had 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 again a war with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became fatigued.
16 दैत्यका सन्तान इश्बी-बनिबले दाऊदलाई मार्न खोजे, जसको काँसाको भालाको तौल साँढे तीन किलो थियो र नयाँ तरवार भिरेको थियो ।
And Yishbi at Nob, who was of the children of the Raphah, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of copper, he being girded with a new armor, thought to slay 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 Zeruyah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then swore the men of David unto him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest 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 a battle at Gob, with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Saph, who was of the children of the Raphah.
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 a battle at Gob with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Ya'are-oregim, the Bethlechemite, slew 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 a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, [in all] four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the Raphah.
21 त्यसले इस्राएलको अपमान गर्दा दाऊदका दाजु शिमाहका छोरा जोनाथनले त्यसलाई मार्यो ।
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'ah, the brother of David, slew him.
22 गातको रफाका सन्तानहरू यी नै थिए, र तिनीहरू दाऊदका हातद्वारा र तिनका सिपाहरूका हातद्वारा मारिए ।
These four were born to the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
