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 at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your 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 you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler 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 the LORD; 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 ।”

Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not get in here." For the blind and the lame incited them, saying, "David can't get in here."

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

Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion (that 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 ।”

David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."

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

David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.

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

David grew greater and greater; for the LORD 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 ।

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.

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 knew that the LORD 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 ।

David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

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

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 Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 एलीशामा, एल्यादा र एलीपेलेत ।

and Elishama, and Baaliada, 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 ।

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, 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 came and spread out 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 ।”

So David inquired of the LORD, asking, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Then the LORD answered David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver them into your 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 ।

So David came to Baal Perazim, and he defeated them there, and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough 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 abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.

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

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 David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar 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 you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."

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

And David did as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
