२ शमूएल 1
1 शाऊलको मृत्युपछि अमालेकीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरेर दाऊद फर्के र सिक्लगमा दुई दिनसम्म बसे ।
After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites. He stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 तेस्रो दिनमा, शाऊलको छाउनीबाट एक जना मानिस लुगा च्यातेर र शिरमा धुलो छरेर आए । जब तिनी दाऊदकहाँ आए, तब तिनले आफ्नो अनुहार भुईंमा घोप्टो पारे र आफूलाई लमतन्न पारे ।
Then on the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp. His clothes were torn and he had dust on his head. When he approached David, he bowed before him, and fell to the ground in respect.
3 दाऊदले तिनलाई सोधे, “तिमी कहाँबाट आएको हौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म इस्राएलको छाउनीबाट उम्केर भएको ।”
“Where have you come from?” David asked him. “I got away from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
4 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “कृपया मलाई भन, के के भएका छन्।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “मानिसहरू युद्धबाट भागे । धेरै जना ढलेका छन् र धेरै जना मरेका छन् । शाऊल र उनका छोरा जोनाथन पनि मरेका छन् ।”
“Tell me what happened,” David asked. “The army ran away from the battle,” the man replied. “Many of them died, and Saul and his son Jonathan also died.”
5 दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसलाई भने, “शाऊल र उनका छोरा जोनाथन मरेका छन् भनेर तिमीलाई कसरी थाहा भयो?”
“How do you know Saul and Jonathan died?” David asked the man giving the report.
6 ती जवान मानिसले जवाफ दिए, “म संयोगवश गिल्बो डाँडामा पुगें र त्यहाँ शाऊल आफ्नो भालामा उनिएका थिए अनि रथहरू र घडचढीहरूले उनलाई भेट्न लागेका थिए ।
“I just happened to be there on Mount Gilboa,” he replied. “I saw Saul, leaning on his spear, with the enemy chariots and the charioteers advancing on him.
7 शाऊलले वरिपरि हेरे र मलाई देखे र मलाई बोलाए । मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म यहाँ छु ।'
He turned around and saw me. He called out and I replied, ‘I'm here to help!’
8 उनले मलाई भने, 'तँ को होस्?' मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म अमालेकी हुँ ।'
He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him, ‘I'm an Amalekite.’
9 उनले मलाई भने, “मेरो छेउमा आएर मलाई मार्, किनकि म ठुलो पीडाले मलाई समातेको छ, तर ममा अझै जीवन छ ।'
Then he told me, ‘Please come over here and kill me! I'm in terrible agony but life is still hanging on.’
10 त्यसैले म उनको छेउमा गएँ र उनलाई मारे, किनभने उनी ढलेपछि बाँच्ने छैनन् भन्ने मैले थाहा पाएँ । त्यसपछि मैले उनको शिरको शिरपेच र हातको बाजु लिएँ र हजुर मेरो मलिकहाँ ल्याएको छु ।”
So I went over him and killed him, because I knew that wounded as he was he couldn't last long. I took the crown from his head and his bracelet from his arm, and I've brought them here to you, my lord.”
11 त्यसपछि दाऊदले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसहरूले त्यसै गरे ।
David grabbed hold of his clothes and ripped them, as did his men.
12 तिनीहरूले शाऊल, उनका छोरा जोनाथन, परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू र इस्राएलको घरानाको निम्ति विलाप गरे, रोए र साँझसम्म उपवास बसे, किनभने तिनीहरू तरवारद्वारा नाश भएका थिए ।
They mourned and cried and fasted until the evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the Lord, the Israelites, that had been killed by the sword.
13 दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसलाई सोधे, “तँ कहाँबाट आएको होस्?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म एक जना विदेशी अमालेकीको छोरा हुँ ।”
David asked man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I'm the son of a foreigner,” he replied “I'm an Amalekite.”
14 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “पमरप्रभुको अभिषिक्त राजालाई तेरो आफ्नै हातले मार्न तँलाई किन डर लागेन?”
“Why weren't you worried about killing the Lord's anointed one?” David asked.
15 दाऊदले आफ्ना जवानमध्ये एक जनालाई बोलाएर भने, “जाऊ र यसलाई मार् ।” त्यसैले त्यो मानिस गयो र तिनलाई प्रहार गर्यो र ती अमालेकी मरे ।
David called over one of his men and said, “Go ahead, kill him!” So the man cut the Amalekite down and killed him.
16 त्यसपछि दऊदले त्यो मृतक अमालेकीलाई भने, “तेरो रगत तेरै शिरमा परोस् किनभने तेरै मुखले तेरो विरुद्ध गवाही दिएको र भनेको छ, 'मैले परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त राजालाई मारेको छु' ।”
David had told the Amalekite, “Your death is your own fault because you testified against yourself when you said, ‘I killed the Lord's anointed one.’”
17 त्यसपछि दाऊदले शाऊल र जोनाथनको मृत्युमा यो विलापको गित गाए ।
Then David sang this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan.
18 तिनले यहूदाका सन्तानलाई यो विलापको गित सिकाउन हुकुम दिए, जसलाई याशारको पुस्तकमा लिखिएको छः
He ordered it to be taught to the people of Judah. It is called “the Bow” and is recorded in the Book of the Just:
19 “ए इस्राएल तिम्रो महिमा मृत छ, तिम्रो उच्च स्थानहरूमा मारिएको छ । वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्!
“Israel, the glorious one lies dead on your mountains. How the mighty have fallen!
20 यो कुरा गातमा नभन, यसलाई अश्कलोनका गल्तीहरूमा घोषणा नगर, ताकि पलिश्तीहरूका छोरीहरू रमाउन नपाउन्, ताकि बेखतनाका छोरीहरूले उत्सव मनाउन नसकुन् ।
Don't announce it in the town of Gath, don't proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the Philistine women won't rejoice, so that the heathen women won't celebrate.
21 ए गोल्बि डाँडा, तँमाथि कुनै शीत वा झरी नपरोस्, न त भेटीको निम्ति अन्न दिने मैदान नै होस्, किनकि त्यहाँ वीरहरूका ढाल अशुद्ध पारिएको छ । अब उप्रान्त शाऊलका ढालहरूमा तेल लगाइने छैन ।
Mountains of Gilboa, may no dew or rain fall on you! May you have no fields that produce offerings of grain. For it was there that the shield of the mighty was defiled; Saul's shield, no longer cared for with olive oil.
22 मारिएकाहरूको रगतबाट, वीरहरूका शरीरबाट जोनाथनका धानु पछि फर्किएन र शाऊलका तरवार रित्तो फर्केन ।
Jonathan with his bow did not retreat from attacking the enemy; Saul with his sword did not return empty-handed from shedding blood.
23 शाऊल र जोनाथन जीवनमा प्रेमिलो र कृपालु थिए र आफ्नो मृत्युमा तिनीहरू छुटेनन् । तिनीहरू गिद्धभन्दा द्रूत र सिंहभन्दा बलिया थिए ।
During their lives, Saul and Jonathan were much loved and very pleasant, and death did not divide them. They were faster than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 ए इस्राएलकी छोरीहरूको शाऊलको निम्ति रोओ जसले तिमीहरूलाई गरगहना साथै बैजनी रङ्को पहिरन पहिराइदिए र जसले तिमीहरूका लुगामा सुनका गहनाहरू लगाइदिए
Women of Israel, mourn for Saul, who gave you fine scarlet clothes decorated with gold ornaments.
25 युद्धको बिचमा वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्! जोनाथन तिम्रो उच्च स्थानहरूमा मारिएका छन् ।
How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies dead on your mountains.
26 ए मेरो भाइ जोनाथन म तिम्रो निम्ति व्याकुल भएको छु । तिमी मेरो निम्ति साह्रै प्रिय थियौ । मप्रति तिम्रो प्रेम अद्भूत थियो, स्त्रीको प्रेमलाई नै माथ गर्ने थियो ।
I weep so much for you, my brother Jonathan! You were so very dear to me! Your love for me was so wonderful, greater than the love women have!
27 वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्, र युद्धका हतियारहरू कसरी नष्ट भएका छन् ।”
How the mighty have fallen! The weapons of war are gone!”
