२ शमूएल 4
1 जब शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले हेब्रोनमा अबनेरको मृत्यु भयो भनी सुने, तब तिनको हातहरू कमजोर भए र सारा इस्राएल पीडामा पर्यो ।
Now, when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became feeble, —and, all Israel, were dismayed.
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 two men, captains of bands, pertained to Ish-bosheth son of Saul—the name of the one, was Baanah, and, the name of the other, Rechab—sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, —for, even Beeroth, used to be reckoned unto Benjamin;
3 र बेरोतीहरू गित्तैममा भागेर गए र आजसम्म पनि तिनीहरू त्यहीं बसिरहेका छन् ।)
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, —and have been sojourners there, until 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, Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son, lame of his feet, —five years old, was he, when tidings came in of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, so his nurse took him up, and fled, and it came to pass, when she started up to flee, that he fell and was lamed, 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 ।
So then the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, took their journey and came in, about the heat of the day, unto the house of Ish-bosheth, —when, he, was lying on his noonday couch;
6 ढोकाको स्त्री पाले गहूँ ओसार्दै गर्दा मस्त निदाएकी थिइन् र रेकाब र बानाह बिस्तार हिंडे र तिनलाई पार गरेर गए ।
and, thither, entered they as fro as the middle of the house, to fetch wheat, and they smote him in the belly, —and, Rechab and Baanah his brother, escaped.
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 ।
Thus they entered the house when, he, was lying on his bed, in his sleeping-chamber, and smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, —and took his head, and journeyed by way of the waste plain 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 brought in the head of Ish-bosheth unto David, at Hebron, and said unto the king, Lo! the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life: so hath Yahweh given to my lord the king, avengement this day, on Saul and on his seed.
9 दाऊदले बेरोती रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रेकाब र बानाहलाई जावफ दिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मेरो जीवन हरेक कष्टबाट बचाउनुभयो,
Then David responded to Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, —By the life of Yahweh, who hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
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 he that brought tidings to me, saying, Lo! Saul is dead, though, he, was as one that bringeth good tidings, in his own eyes, yet I seized him, and slew him in Ziklag, —which was how I gave him reward 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, lawless men, have slain a righteous person, in his own house, upon his bed? …Now, therefore, must I not require his blood at your hands, and so consume you, out of 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 ।
David therefore commanded the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands, and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool, in Hebron, —but, the head of Ish-bosheth, took they, and buried in the grave of Abner, in Hebron.
