२ शमूएल 5

1 त्यसपछि सबै इस्राएल हेब्रोनमा दाऊदकहाँ आए र भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, हामी तपाईंकै मासु र हड्‍डी हौं ।

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2 केही समयअगि जब शाऊल हामीमाथि राजा थिए, तब तपाईंले नै इस्राएलको फौजको नेतृत्व गर्नुभयो । परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'तैंले नै मेरा इस्राएल इस्राएलको गोठालो गर्ने छस् र तँ नै इस्राएलमाथि शासक हुने छस्' ।”

In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou who led out and brought in Israel. And Jehovah said to thee, Thou shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and thou shall be prince over Israel.

3 त्यसैले इस्राएलका सबै धर्म-गुरुहरू राजाकहाँ हेब्रोनमा आए र राजा दाऊदले परमप्रभुको सामु तिनीहरूसँग करार गरे । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा अभिषेक गरे ।

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron. And king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anointed David king over Israel.

4 दाऊदले राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी तिस वर्षका थिए र तिनले चालिस वर्षसम्म राज्‍य गरे ।

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 तिनले हेब्रोनमा सात वर्ष छ महिना राज्‍य गरे र सबै इस्राएल र यहूदामा तेत्तीस वर्ष राज्‍य गरे ।

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 राजा र तिनका मानिसहरू त्यस ठाउँका बासिन्दाहरू अर्थात् यरूशलेमका यबूसीहरूका विरुद्ध लड्न गए । तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “तपाईं यहाँ आउनुभयो भने, अन्धा र लङ्गडाले नै फर्काइदिने छन्। दाऊद यहाँ आउन सक्दैन ।”

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, Unless thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shall not come in here, thinking, David cannot come in here.

7 तापनि, दाऊदले सियोनका किल्ला कब्जा गरे, जुन अहिले दाऊदको सहर हो ।

Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

8 त्यति नै बेला दाऊदले भने, “यबूसीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेहरूले 'लङ्गडा र अन्धाकहाँ’ पुग्‍न पानीको नालीबाट जाने छ जो दाऊदका शत्रुहरू हुन् ।” यसैले मानिसहरूले भन्छन्, “'अन्धा र लङ्गडाहरू' दरबारमा प्रवेश गर्नुहुँदैन ।”

And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and smite the lame and the blind, the hated by David's soul, because the blind and the lame say, He cannot come into the house.

9 त्यसैले दाऊद त्यो किल्लामा बसे र यसलाई दाऊदको सहर भनियो । तिनले यसलाई गाराहरूदेखि भित्रसम्म नै किल्लाबन्दी गरे ।

And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

10 दाऊद धेरै शक्तिशाली भए किनभने परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वर तिनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।

And David grew greater and greater, for Jehovah, the God of hosts, was with him.

11 त्यसपछि टुरोसका राजा हीरामले दाऊदकहाँ दूतहरू पठाए अनि देवदारुका काठहरू, डकर्मीहरू र सिकर्मीहरूलाई पनि पठाए । तिनीहरूले दाऊदको निम्ति महल बनाए ।

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons, and they built David a house.

12 परमप्रभुले आफूलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजाको रूपमा स्थापित गर्नुभएको थियो भनी दाऊदले जान्‍दथे र उहाँले आफ्‍ना मानिस इस्राएलको खातिर तिनको राज्यलाई उच्‍च पार्नुभएको थियो ।

And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

13 दाऊदले हेब्रोन छोडे र यरूशलेममा आए, त्‍यसपछि तिनले यरूशलेममा अरू धेरै उपपत्‍नीहरू र पत्‍नीहरू ल्याए र तिनका अरू धेरै छोराहरू र छोरीहरू जन्मे ।

And David took for him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron, and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

14 यरूशलेममा जन्मेका तिनका छोराछोरीका नाउँ यीनै थिएः शम्मूअ, शोबाब, नातान, सोलोमन,

And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 यिभार, इलीशूअ, नेपेग, यापी,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 एलीशामा, एल्यादा र एलीपेलेत ।

and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.

17 अब दाऊदलाई इस्राएलको राजा अभिषेक गरिएको छ भनेर जब पलिश्‍तीहरूले सुने, तब तिनीहरू सबै तिनलाई खोज्‍न गए । तर दाऊदले यो सुने र तल किल्लामा गए ।

And when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.

18 पलिश्‍तीहरू आएका थिए र रपाईको बेसीमा छरिएका थिए ।

Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

19 त्यसपछि दाऊदले परमप्रभुसँग सहायता मागे । तिनले भने, “के म पलिश्‍तीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरूँ? के तपाईंले मलाई तिनीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुहुन्छ?” पमरप्रभुले दाऊदलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “आक्रमण गर्, किनभने म निश्‍चय नै तँलाई पलिश्‍तीहरूमाथि विजय गराउने छु ।”

And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up, for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

20 त्यसैले दाऊदले बाल‍-पराजीमा आक्रमण गरे र त्‍यहाँ तिनले तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गरे । तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु विष्फोट हुने पानीको बाढीझैं मेरो सामु मेरा शत्रुहरूका विरुद्ध विष्फोट हुनुभएको छ ।” त्यसैले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ बाल-पराजीम भयो ।

And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there. And he said, Jehovah has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

21 पलिश्‍तीहरूले त्यहाँ आफ्‍ना मूर्तीहरू छोडिराखे अनि दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूले ती लिएर गए ।

And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

22 त्‍यसपछि पलिश्‍तीहरू फेरि माथि आए र फेरि एक पटक रपाईो बेसीमा फैलिएर बसे ।

And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

23 त्यसैले दाऊदले फेरि पनि परमप्रभुसँग सहायता मागे र पमरप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तैंले तिनीहरूलाई अडागिबाट आक्रमण गर्नु हुँदैन, तर तिनीहरूको पछिल्तिरबाट फन्को मारेर लहरे-पिपलको जङ्गलभएर तिनीहरूमाथि जाइलाग ।

And when David inquired of Jehovah, he said, Thou shall not go up. Make a circuit behind them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry trees.

24 जब तैंले लहरे-पिपलको टुप्पाहरूमा हावा लाग्दा आउने परेडको आवाज सुन्‍छस्, तब फौजका साथमा आक्रमण गर् । यसो गर् किनभने तैंले पलिश्‍तीहरू आक्रमण गर्नुअगि परमप्रभु जानुभएको हुनुहुने छ ।”

And it shall be, when thou hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shall bestir thyself, for then Jehovah has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

25 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैं दाऊदले गरे । तिनले पलिश्‍तीहरूलाई गिबिनदेखि गेजेरतिर जाने बाटोसम्म नै मारे ।

And David did so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer.
