< 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 son of Jesse, the man who was highly honored, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel.
2 “परमप्रभुको आत्मा मद्वारा बोल्नुभयो र उहाँको वचन मेरो जिब्रोमा थियो ।
“The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me, and his word was on 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, the Rock of Israel said to me, 'The one who rules righteously over men, 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 will be like the morning light when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs up from the earth through bright sunshine 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?
Indeed, is my family not like this before God? Has he not made an everlasting covenant with me, ordered and sure in every way? Does he not increase my salvation and fulfill my every desire?
6 तर व्यार्थकाहरू फालिने काँडाजस्तै हुनेछन्, किनभने तिनीहरूलाई कसैको हातले जम्मा पार्न सकिंदैन ।
But the worthless will all be like thorns to be thrown away, because they cannot be gathered by one's hands.
7 तिनीहरूलाई छुने मानिसले फलामको समग्री वा भालाको बिंड प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ । जहाँ तिनीहरू बस्छन् त्यहीं तिनीहरूलाई जलाउनुपर्छ' ।”
The man who touches them must use an iron tool or the shaft of a spear. They must be burned up where they lie.'”
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 David's mighty men: Jeshbaal the Hachmonite was the leader of the mighty men. He killed eight hundred men on one occasion.
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 was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men. He was with David when they taunted the Philistines who had gathered together to do battle, and when the men of Israel had retreated.
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 ।
Eleazar stood and fought the Philistines until his hand became weary and his hand stiffened to the grip of his sword. Yahweh brought about a great victory that day. The army returned after Eleazar, only to strip the bodies.
11 तिनीपछि हरारी आगीका छोरा शम्मा थिए । पलिश्तीहरू दाल भएको खेतमा एकसाथ भेला भए र फौज तिनीहरूबाट भागे ।
After him was Shammah son of Agee, a Hararite. The Philistines gathered together where there was a field of lentils, and the army fled from them.
12 तर शम्मा खेतको बिचमा भए भए र त्यसको प्रतिरक्षा गरे । तिनले पलिश्तीहरूलाई मारे र परमप्रभुले ठुलो विजय दिनुभयो ।
But Shammah stood in the middle of the field and defended it. He killed the Philistines, and Yahweh brought about a great victory.
13 तीस जनामध्येका तीन जना सिपाही कटनीको समयमा तल दाऊदकहाँ अदुल्लामको गुफामा गए । पलिश्तीहरूका फौजले रपाईंको बेसीमा छाउनी हालेका थिए ।
Three of the thirty soldiers went down to David at harvest time, to the cave of Adullam. The army of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
14 त्यस बेला दाऊद आफ्नो किल्ला अर्थात् गुफामा थिए, जबकि पलिश्तीहरू बेथलेहेममा स्थापित भएका थिए ।
At that time David was in his stronghold, a cave, while the Philistines had established at Bethlehem.
15 दाऊदले पानी तृष्णा गरे र भने, “बेथलेहेमको ढोकाको छेउमा भएको इनारको पानी कसैले ल्याइदिएको भए मात्रै पनि हुन्थ्यो नि!”
David was longing for water and said, “If only someone would give me water to drink from the well at Bethlehem, the well that 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 ।
So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.
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 ।
Then he said, “Yahweh, far be it from me, that I should do this. Should I drink the blood of men who have risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. These things were done by the three mighty.
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 ।
Abishai, brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was captain over the three. He once fought with his spear against three hundred men and killed them. He was often mentioned along with the three soldiers.
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 even more famous than the three? He was made their captain. However, his fame did not equal the fame of the three most famous soldiers.
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 ।
Benaiah from Kabzeel was the son of Jehoiada; he was a strong man who did mighty feats. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down into a pit and killed a lion while it was snowing.
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 ।
Then he killed a very large Egyptian man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah fought against him with only a staff. He seized the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and then killed him with his own spear.
22 यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहका वीरतापूर्ण कामहरू यी नै थिए, र तिनलाई तीन जना वीर मानिससँगै नाउँ दिइयो ।
Benaiah son of Jehoiada did these feats, and he was named alongside 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 highly regarded than the thirty soldiers in general, but he was not regarded quite as highly as the three mighty men. Yet David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
