< २ शमूएल 23 >

1 अब दाऊदको अन्तिम वचनहरू यी नै हुन्— यिशैका छोरा दाऊद, उच्‍च रूपमा आदर गरिएको मानिस, याकूबका परमेश्‍वरले अभिषेक गर्नुभएको व्‍यक्‍ति, इस्राएलको सुमधुर भजनकार ।
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, and the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 “परमप्रभुको आत्मा मद्वारा बोल्नुभयो र उहाँको वचन मेरो जिब्रोमा थियो ।
The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, and his word was upon my tongue.
3 इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर बोल्नुभयो, इस्राएलका चट्टानले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'जसले मानिसहरूमाथि धार्मिक रूपले शासन गर्छ, जसले परमेश्‍वरको भयमा शासन गर्छ ।
The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me. He who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 त्यो सूर्य उदाउँदाको बिहानको प्रकाश, बादलबिनाको एक बिहानजस्‍तो हुनेछ, जब पानी परेपछिको घामको उज्यालो चमकद्वारा पृथ्वीबाट नरम घाँस उम्रन्छ ।
he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.
5 वास्तवमा, के मेरो परिवार परमेश्‍वरको सामु यस्‍तै हुँदैन र? के उहाँले मसँग हरेक उपायले स्‍थापित र पक्‍का अनन्त करार गर्नुभएको छैन र? के उहाँले मेरो उद्धारको वृद्धि र मेरा सबै इच्छा पुरा गर्नुहुन्‍न र?
Truly my house is not so with God. Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, though he does not make it to grow.
6 तर व्यार्थकाहरू फालिने काँडाजस्तै हुनेछन्, किनभने तिनीहरूलाई कसैको हातले जम्‍मा पार्न सकिंदैन ।
But the worthless shall be as thorns to be thrust away, all of them, because they cannot be taken with the hand.
7 तिनीहरूलाई छुने मानिसले फलामको समग्री वा भालाको बिंड प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ । जहाँ तिनीहरू बस्‍छन् त्यहीं तिनीहरूलाई जलाउनुपर्छ' ।”
But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear, and they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
8 दाऊदका वीर मानिहरूका नाउँ यी नै हुन्ः तहकमोनी योशब-बेश्बेत वीर मानिसहरूका अगुवा थिए । तिनलले एकै पटकमा आठ सय मानिसलाई मारे ।
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains, the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.
9 तिनीपछि अहोही दोदैका छोरा एलाजार थिए । तिनी तीन जना वीर मनिसमध्ये एक जना थिए । युद्ध गर्न भेला भएका पलिश्तीहरूलाई इस्राएलीहरूले अपमान गर्दा र इस्राएलीहरू पछि हट्दा दाऊदको साथमा हुने तिनी नै थिए ।
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away.
10 एलाजार खडा भए र आफ्‍नो हात नथाकेसम्‍म, र तिनको हातले तरवारको बिंड नै नसमात्‍ने गरी नथाकेसम्म पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध लडे । त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले ठुलो विजाय दिनुभयो । फौजहरू लाशहरूबाट लुट्नलाई मात्र एलाजारको पछि फर्केर गए ।
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword. And Jehovah wrought a great victory that day, and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
11 तिनीपछि हरारी आगीका छोरा शम्मा थिए । पलिश्‍तीहरू दाल भएको खेतमा एकसाथ भेला भए र फौज तिनीहरूबाट भागे ।
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop where was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 तर शम्‍मा खेतको बिचमा भए भए र त्‍यसको प्रतिरक्षा गरे । तिनले पलिश्तीहरूलाई मारे र परमप्रभुले ठुलो विजय दिनुभयो ।
But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines. And Jehovah wrought a great victory.
13 तीस जनामध्येका तीन जना सिपाही कटनीको समयमा तल दाऊदकहाँ अदुल्‍लामको गुफामा गए । पलिश्तीहरूका फौजले रपाईंको बेसीमा छाउनी हालेका थिए ।
And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 त्यस बेला दाऊद आफ्‍नो किल्‍ला अर्थात् गुफामा थिए, जबकि पलिश्तीहरू बेथलेहेममा स्थापित भएका थिए ।
And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 दाऊदले पानी तृष्णा गरे र भने, “बेथलेहेमको ढोकाको छेउमा भएको इनारको पानी कसैले ल्याइदिएको भए मात्रै पनि हुन्थ्यो नि!”
And David longed, and said, Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
16 त्यसैले यी तीन जना वीर मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूको फौजलाई तोडेर बिचबाट गए र बेथलेहेमको ढोकाको छेउमा भएको इनारको पानी ल्याए । तिनीहरूले पानी लिए र दाऊदकहाँ ल्याए, तर तिनले त्यो पिउन इन्कार गरे । बरु, तिनले त्यो परमप्रभुमा चढाए ।
And the three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
17 अनि तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, मैले यसो गर्ने कुरा मबाट दूर रहोस् । के मैले ती मानिसहरूका रगत पिउनु जसले आफ्‍ना जीवनलाई खतरामा हालेका छन्?” त्यसैले तिनले त्‍यो पिउन इन्कार गरे । ती तीन जना वीर मानिसले यी कुराहरू गरेका थिए ।
And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this, to drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
18 योआबका भाइ र सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशै यी तिन जनाका कप्‍तान थिए । तिनले एक पटक तीन सय जना मानिससँग लडे र तिनीहरूलाई मारे । तिनलाई प्रायः तीन जना सिपाहरूसँगै उल्लेख गरिन्छ ।
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
19 के तिनी ती तीन जनाभन्दा धेरै प्रसिद्ध थिएनन् र? तिनलाई उनीहरूका कप्‍तान बनाइएको थियो । तापनि तिनको ख्‍याति तीन जना धेरै ख्‍यातिप्राप्‍त सिपाहीका बराबर थिएन ।
Was he not most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he did not attain to the first three.
20 यहोयादाका छोरा कब्सेका छोरा बनायाह थिए । तिनी बलिया मानिस थिए जसले वीरतापूर्ण काम गरे । तिनले मोआबको अरिएलका दुई जना छोरालाई मारे । तिनले हिउँ परिरहेको बेला एउटा खाल्डोमा पसेर एउटा सिंहलाई मारे ।
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
21 त्‍यसपछि तिनले एक जना ठुलो मिश्रीलाई मारे । मिश्रीको हातमा भाला थियो, तर बनायाहले त्यससँग लौरोले मात्र युद्ध लडे । तिनले त्‍यो मिश्रीको हातबाट भाला खोसे र त्यसको आफ्नै भालाले त्यसलाई मारे ।
And he killed an Egyptian, a good-looking man. And the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहका वीरतापूर्ण कामहरू यी नै थिए, र तिनलाई तीन जना वीर मानिससँगै नाउँ दिइयो ।
These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 तिनलाई तीस जना सिपालाई भन्दा उच्‍च आदर दिइन्थ्यो, तर तिनलाई ती तीन जनालाई जत्ति उच्‍च रूपमा बिलकुलै मानिंदैनथ्यो । तापनि दाऊदले यिनलाई आफ्नो अङ्गरक्षकको जिम्‍मा दिए ।
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
