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 ।
These are the last words of David. Now David, the son of Jesse, the man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the preeminent psalmist of Israel said:
2 “परमप्रभुको आत्मा मद्वारा बोल्नुभयो र उहाँको वचन मेरो जिब्रोमा थियो ।
“The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me, and his word was spoken through 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 spoke to me, the Strong One of Israel spoke, the Ruler of men, the Just Ruler, 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 ।
like the first light of the morning as the sun is rising, when a morning without clouds glows red, and like plants springing forth from the earth after a rainfall.
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?
But my house is not so great with God that he should undertake an eternal covenant with me, firm and fortified in all things. For he is the entirety of my salvation and the entirety of my will. And there is nothing of this which will not spring forth.
6 तर व्यार्थकाहरू फालिने काँडाजस्तै हुनेछन्, किनभने तिनीहरूलाई कसैको हातले जम्मा पार्न सकिंदैन ।
But all prevaricators shall be plucked out like thorns, yet they are not taken away by hands.
7 तिनीहरूलाई छुने मानिसले फलामको समग्री वा भालाको बिंड प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ । जहाँ तिनीहरू बस्छन् त्यहीं तिनीहरूलाई जलाउनुपर्छ' ।”
And if anyone wishes to touch them, he must be armed with iron and a wooden lance. And they shall be set ablaze and burned to nothing.”
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 valiant of David. Sitting in the chair was the wisest leader among the three; he was like a very tender little worm in a tree, who killed eight hundred men in one attack.
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 ।
After him, there was Eleazar, the son of his paternal uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three valiant men who were with David when they chastised the Philistines, and they were gathered together in battle there.
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 ।
And when the men of Israel had gone up, he himself stood fast and struck down the Philistines, until his hand grew weak and stiff with the sword. And the Lord wrought a great salvation on that day. And the people who had fled returned to take up the spoils of the slain.
11 तिनीपछि हरारी आगीका छोरा शम्मा थिए । पलिश्तीहरू दाल भएको खेतमा एकसाथ भेला भए र फौज तिनीहरूबाट भागे ।
And after him, there was Shammah, the son of Agee, from Hara. And the Philistines gathered together at an outpost. For a field full of lentils was in that place. And when the people had fled from the face of the Philistines,
12 तर शम्मा खेतको बिचमा भए भए र त्यसको प्रतिरक्षा गरे । तिनले पलिश्तीहरूलाई मारे र परमप्रभुले ठुलो विजय दिनुभयो ।
he stood fast in the middle of the field, and it was protected by him. And he struck down the Philistines. And the Lord wrought a great salvation.
13 तीस जनामध्येका तीन जना सिपाही कटनीको समयमा तल दाऊदकहाँ अदुल्लामको गुफामा गए । पलिश्तीहरूका फौजले रपाईंको बेसीमा छाउनी हालेका थिए ।
And moreover, before this, the three who were leaders among the thirty descended and went to David at harvest time, in the cave of Adullam. But the camp of the Philistines was positioned in the Valley of the giants.
14 त्यस बेला दाऊद आफ्नो किल्ला अर्थात् गुफामा थिए, जबकि पलिश्तीहरू बेथलेहेममा स्थापित भएका थिए ।
And David was in a stronghold. Moreover, there was a garrison of the Philistines at that time in Bethlehem.
15 दाऊदले पानी तृष्णा गरे र भने, “बेथलेहेमको ढोकाको छेउमा भएको इनारको पानी कसैले ल्याइदिएको भए मात्रै पनि हुन्थ्यो नि!”
Then David desired, and he said, “If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the cistern, which is in Bethlehem beside 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 ।
Therefore, the three valiant men burst into the encampment of the Philistines, and they drew water from the cistern of Bethlehem, which was beside the gate. And they brought it to David. Yet he was not willing to drink; instead, he poured it out to the Lord,
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 ।
saying: “May the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not do this. Should I drink the blood of these men who have set out to the peril of their own lives?” Therefore, he was not willing to drink. These things were accomplished by these three robust men.
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 ।
Also Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was first among the three. It was he who lifted up his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed. And he was renowned 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 ।
and he was the noblest of the three, and he was their leader. But at first he did not attain to the 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, a very strong man of great deeds, was from Kabzeel. He slew the two lions of Moab, and he descended and slew a lion in the middle of a den, in the days 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 ।
He also killed an Egyptian who had a spear in his hand, a man worthy to behold. And yet he had gone down to him with only a staff. And he forced the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and he killed him with his own spear.
22 यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहका वीरतापूर्ण कामहरू यी नै थिए, र तिनलाई तीन जना वीर मानिससँगै नाउँ दिइयो ।
Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, accomplished these things.
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 ।
And he was renowned among the three robust men, who were the most noble among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not attain to the three, until David made him his secret advisor.
