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 and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
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 the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become 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 at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. 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 ।”
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here except to be turned away by the blind and the lame. David cannot come here.”
7 तापनि, दाऊदले सियोनका किल्ला कब्जा गरे, जुन अहिले दाऊदको सहर हो ।
Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which now 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 ।”
At that time David said, “Those who attack the Jebusites will have to go through the water shaft to reach the 'lame and the blind' who are David's enemies.” That is why people say, “The 'blind and the lame' must not enter the palace.”
9 त्यसैले दाऊद त्यो किल्लामा बसे र यसलाई दाऊदको सहर भनियो । तिनले यसलाई गाराहरूदेखि भित्रसम्म नै किल्लाबन्दी गरे ।
So David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. He fortified around it, from the terrace toward the inside.
10 दाऊद धेरै शक्तिशाली भए किनभने परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर तिनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
David became very powerful because Yahweh, 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 ।
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for David.
12 परमप्रभुले आफूलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजाको रूपमा स्थापित गर्नुभएको थियो भनी दाऊदले जान्दथे र उहाँले आफ्ना मानिस इस्राएलको खातिर तिनको राज्यलाई उच्च पार्नुभएको थियो ।
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
13 दाऊदले हेब्रोन छोडे र यरूशलेममा आए, त्यसपछि तिनले यरूशलेममा अरू धेरै उपपत्नीहरू र पत्नीहरू ल्याए र तिनका अरू धेरै छोराहरू र छोरीहरू जन्मे ।
After David left Hebron and came to Jerusalem, he took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
14 यरूशलेममा जन्मेका तिनका छोराछोरीका नाउँ यीनै थिएः शम्मूअ, शोबाब, नातान, सोलोमन,
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 यिभार, इलीशूअ, नेपेग, यापी,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 एलीशामा, एल्यादा र एलीपेलेत ।
Elishama, 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 ।
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18 पलिश्तीहरू आएका थिए र रपाईको बेसीमा छरिएका थिए ।
Now the Philistines had come 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 ।”
Then David asked for help from Yahweh. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to David, “Attack, for I will certainly give you victory over the Philistines.”
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 attacked at Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
21 पलिश्तीहरूले त्यहाँ आफ्ना मूर्तीहरू छोडिराखे अनि दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूले ती लिएर गए ।
The Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
22 त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरू फेरि माथि आए र फेरि एक पटक रपाईो बेसीमा फैलिएर बसे ।
Then the Philistines came up again and spread out once more 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 ।
So David sought help from Yahweh again, and Yahweh said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
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 ।”
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because Yahweh will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
25 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैं दाऊदले गरे । तिनले पलिश्तीहरूलाई गिबिनदेखि गेजेरतिर जाने बाटोसम्म नै मारे ।
So David did as Yahweh had commanded him. He killed Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
