< २ शमूएल 4 >
1 जब शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले हेब्रोनमा अबनेरको मृत्यु भयो भनी सुने, तब तिनको हातहरू कमजोर भए र सारा इस्राएल पीडामा पर्यो ।
And when Sauls sonne heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, then his handes were feeble, and all Israel was afraide,
2 शाऊलका छोराका दुई जना मानिस थिए जो सिपाहरूका समूहहरूका कप्तानहरू थिए । एक जनाको नाउँ बानाह र अर्काको नाउँ रेकाब थियो, जो बेन्यामीनको मानिस बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू थिए (किनभने बेरोतलाई बेन्यामीनको हिस्सा ठानिन्छ,
And Sauls sonne had two men that were captaines of bandes: the one called Baanah, and the other called Rechab, the sonnes of Rimmon a Beerothite of the children of Beniamin. (for Beeroth was reckened to Beniamin,
3 र बेरोतीहरू गित्तैममा भागेर गए र आजसम्म पनि तिनीहरू त्यहीं बसिरहेका छन् ।)
Because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and soiourned there, vnto this day).
4 शाऊलका छोरा जोनातनका एक जना छोरा थिए जसको खुट्टो लङ्गडो थियो । यिजरेलबाट शाऊल र जोनाथनको खबर आउँदा तिनी पाँच वर्षका थिए । भाग्नलाई तिनको धाईले तिनलाई बोकिन् । तर तिनी दौडँदै गर्दा, जोनाथनका छोरा खसे र लङ्गडो भए । तिनको नाउँ मेपीबोशेत थियो ।
And Ionathan Sauls sonne had a sonne that was lame on his feete: he was fiue yere olde when the tydings came of Saul and Ionathan out of Israel: then his nourse tooke him, and fledde away. And as she made haste to flee, the childe fell, and beganne to halte, and his name was Mephibosheth.
5 त्यसैले बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रेकाब र बानाह दिनको चर्को घाममा ईश्बोशेतको घरतिर जान हिंडेर मध्यन्हमा आराम गरिरहँदा तिनको घरमा पुगे ।
And the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah went and came in the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth (who slept on a bed at noone)
6 ढोकाको स्त्री पाले गहूँ ओसार्दै गर्दा मस्त निदाएकी थिइन् र रेकाब र बानाह बिस्तार हिंडे र तिनलाई पार गरेर गए ।
And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his brother came into the middes of the house as they would haue wheate, and they smote him vnder the fift ryb, and fled.
7 यसरी तिनीहरू घरभित्र पसेपछि, तिनी आफ्नो कोठाको ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहेको बेला तिनीहरूले तिनलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई मारे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तिनको टाउको काटे र बोकेर रातभरि अराबातिर जाने बाटो हिंडे ।
For when they came into the house, he slept on his bed in his bed chamber, and they smote him, and slewe him, and beheaded him, and tooke his head, and gate them away through the plaine all the night.
8 तिनीहरूले ईश्बोशेतको टाउको हेब्रोनमा दाऊदकहाँ ल्याए र तिनीहरूले राजालाई भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, यो तपाईंको जीवन लिन खोज्ने तपाईंको शत्रु शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतको टाउको हो । आज परमप्रभुले शाऊल र तिनका सन्तानहरूको विरुद्धमा हाम्रो मालिक राजाको बद्ला लिनुभएको छ ।”
And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth vnto Dauid to Hebron, and saide to the King, Beholde the head of Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne thine enemie, who sought after thy life: and the Lord hath auenged my lorde the King this day of Saul, and of his seede.
9 दाऊदले बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रेकाब र बानाहलाई जावफ दिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मेरो जीवन हरेक कष्टबाट बचाउनुभयो,
Then Dauid answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saide vnto them, As the Lord liueth, who hath deliuered my soule out of al aduersity,
10 जब कसैले मलाई त्यसले शुभखबर ल्याउँदैछ भन्ने ठानी 'हेर्नुहोस्, शाऊल मरेको छ,' भन्यो, मैले त्यसलाई समातें र सिक्लगमा मारें । त्यसको खबरको निम्ति मैले त्यसलाई त्यो इनाम दिएँ ।
When one tolde me, and sayde that Saul was dead, (thinking to haue brought good tydings) I tooke him and slewe him in Ziklag, who thought that I woulde haue giuen him a rewarde for his tidings:
11 झन दुष्ट मानिसहरूले एक जना निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो घरमा आफ्नै ओछ्यानमा मार्दा, के मैले तिमीहरूको हातबाट त्यसको रगतको बदला लिएर तिमीहरूलाई पृथ्वीबाट नहटाउँ?”
How much more, when wicked men haue slaine a righteous person in his owne house, and vpon his bed? shall I not now therfore require his blood at your hand, and take you from the earth?
12 त्यसपछि दाऊदले जवान मानिसहरूलाई हुकुम गरे र उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई मारे अनि तिनीहरूका हातहरू र खुट्टाहरू काटेर हेब्रोनको तलाउनेर झुण्ड्याए । तर तिनीहरू ईश्बोशेतको टाउकोलाई लिए र त्यसलाई हेब्रोनमा अबनेरको चिहानमा गाडे ।
Then Dauid commanded his yong men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feete, and hanged them vp ouer the poole in Hebron: but they tooke the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
