२ शमूएल 1

1 शाऊलको मृत्युपछि अमालेकीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरेर दाऊद फर्के र सिक्लगमा दुई दिनसम्म बसे ।

Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the 'Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag 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 ।

And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.

3 दाऊदले तिनलाई सोधे, “तिमी कहाँबाट आएको हौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म इस्राएलको छाउनीबाट उम्केर भएको ।”

And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

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 ।”

And David said unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.

5 दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसलाई भने, “शाऊल र उनका छोरा जोनाथन मरेका छन् भनेर तिमीलाई कसरी थाहा भयो?”

And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?

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 ।

And the young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa', when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.

7 शाऊलले वरिपरि हेरे र मलाई देखे र मलाई बोलाए । मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म यहाँ छु ।'

And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.

8 उनले मलाई भने, 'तँ को होस्?' मैले जवाफ दिएँ, 'म अमालेकी हुँ ।'

And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An 'Amalekite am I.

9 उनले मलाई भने, “मेरो छेउमा आएर मलाई मार्, किनकि म ठुलो पीडाले मलाई समातेको छ, तर ममा अझै जीवन छ ।'

And he said unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole in me.

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 placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.

11 त्यसपछि दाऊदले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते र तिनीसँग भएका सबै मानिसहरूले त्यसै गरे ।

David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and [so did] likewise all the men that were with him:

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 ।

And they lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

13 दाऊदले ती जवान मानिसलाई सोधे, “तँ कहाँबाट आएको होस्?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “म एक जना विदेशी अमालेकीको छोरा हुँ ।”

And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an 'Amalekite, am I.

14 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “पमरप्रभुको अभिषिक्‍त राजालाई तेरो आफ्‍नै हातले मार्न तँलाई किन डर लागेन?”

And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?

15 दाऊदले आफ्‍ना जवानमध्ये एक जनालाई बोलाएर भने, “जाऊ र यसलाई मार् ।” त्यसैले त्यो मानिस गयो र तिनलाई प्रहार गर्‍यो र ती अमालेकी मरे ।

And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

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' ।”

And David said unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lord's anointed.

17 त्यसपछि दाऊदले शाऊल र जोनाथनको मृत्‍युमा यो विलापको गित गाए ।

And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:

18 तिनले यहूदाका सन्तानलाई यो विलापको गित सिकाउन हुकुम दिए, जसलाई याशारको पुस्तकमा लिखिएको छः

And he said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.

19 “ए इस्राएल तिम्रो महिमा मृत छ, तिम्रो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा मारिएको छ । वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्!

O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty fallen!

20 यो कुरा गातमा नभन, यसलाई अश्कलोनका गल्तीहरूमा घोषणा नगर, ताकि पलिश्‍तीहरूका छोरीहरू रमाउन नपाउन्, ताकि बेखतनाका छोरीहरूले उत्सव मनाउन नसकुन् ।

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.

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 ।

O mountains of Gilboa', no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it had not been anointed with oil.

22 मारिएकाहरूको रगतबाट, वीरहरूका शरीरबाट जोनाथनका धानु पछि फर्किएन र शाऊलका तरवार रित्तो फर्केन ।

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned empty.

23 शाऊल र जोनाथन जीवनमा प्रेमिलो र कृपालु थिए र आफ्‍नो मृत्‍युमा तिनीहरू छुटेनन् । तिनीहरू गिद्धभन्दा द्रूत र सिंहभन्दा बलिया थिए ।

Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.

24 ए इस्राएलकी छोरीहरूको शाऊलको निम्ति रोओ जसले तिमीहरूलाई गरगहना साथै बैजनी रङ्को पहिरन पहिराइदिए र जसले तिमीहरूका लुगामा सुनका गहनाहरू लगाइदिए

O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

25 युद्धको बिचमा वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्! जोनाथन तिम्रो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा मारिएका छन् ।

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.

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 am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.

27 वीरहरू कसरी ढलेका छन्, र युद्धका हतियारहरू कसरी नष्‍ट भएका छन् ।”

How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
