ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ଶାମୁୟେଲ 1
1 ଶାଉଲଙ୍କ ମୃତ୍ୟୁୁ ପରେ, ଦାଉଦ ଅମାଲେକୀୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ବଧ କରି ଫେରି ସିକ୍ଲଗ୍ ନଗରରେ ଦୁଇ ଦିନ ରହିଲେ।
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 ତୃତୀୟ ଦିନରେ ଶାଉଲଙ୍କ ଛାଉଣି ଭିତରୁ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ଆପଣା ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଚିରି ଓ ମସ୍ତକରେ ମାଟି ଦେଇ ଆସିଲା; ପୁଣି ସେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୁଅନ୍ତେ, ଭୂମିରେ ପଡ଼ି ପ୍ରଣାମ କଲା।
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 ତହିଁରେ ଦାଉଦ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଅଛ?” ତହୁଁ ସେ କହିଲା, “ମୁଁ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ଛାଉଣିରୁ ପଳାଇ ଆସିଲି।”
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 ତହିଁରେ ଦାଉଦ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, “କଥା କଅଣ, ମୋତେ କହିଲ?” ତହୁଁ ସେ ଉତ୍ତର କଲା, “ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧରୁ ପଳାଇଲେ, ପୁଣି ଅନେକ ଲୋକ ପତିତ ହେଲେ ଓ ମଲେ, ଆଉ ଶାଉଲ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋନାଥନ ମଧ୍ୟ ମଲେ।”
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 ତହିଁରେ ଦାଉଦ ସେହି ଯୁବାକୁ କହିଲେ, “ଶାଉଲ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋନାଥନ ମଲେ ବୋଲି ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିପରି ଜାଣିଲ?”
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 ତହିଁରେ ସେହି ଯୁବା ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, “ମୁଁ ଅଚାନକ ଗିଲ୍ବୋୟ ପର୍ବତରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୁଅନ୍ତେ, ଶାଉଲ ଆପଣା ବର୍ଚ୍ଛା ଉପରେ ଆଉଜି ପଡ଼ିଅଛନ୍ତି; ରଥ ଓ ଅଶ୍ୱାରୋହୀମାନେ ତାଙ୍କ ପଛେ ଲାଗି ରହିଅଛନ୍ତି।
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 ଶାଉଲ ପଛକୁ ଅନାନ୍ତେ, ମୋତେ ଦେଖି ଡାକିଲେ। ତହିଁରେ ମୁଁ ଉତ୍ତର କଲି, ‘ଏଠାରେ ମୁଁ ଅଛି।’
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 ତେଣୁ ସେ ମୋତେ କହିଲେ, ‘ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିଏ?’ ମୁଁ ଉତ୍ତର କଲି, ‘ମୁଁ ଜଣେ ଅମାଲେକୀୟ ଲୋକ।’
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 ତେବେ ସେ ମୋତେ କହିଲେ, ‘ବିନୟ କରୁଅଛି, ମୋʼ ଉପରେ ଠିଆ ହୋଇ ମୋତେ ବଧ କର, ମୋତେ ବଡ଼ କଷ୍ଟ ହେଉଅଛି; କାରଣ ଏପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମୋʼ ଠାରେ ପ୍ରାଣ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ରହିଅଛି।’
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 ତହିଁରେ ମୁଁ ତାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଠିଆ ହୋଇ ତାଙ୍କୁ ବଧ କଲି; କାରଣ ସେ ପତନ ହେଲା ଉତ୍ତାରେ ସେ ଆଉ ବଞ୍ଚିବେ ନାହିଁ ବୋଲି ମୁଁ ଜାଣିଲି; ପୁଣି ମୁଁ ତାଙ୍କ ମସ୍ତକର ମୁକୁଟ ଓ ବାହୁର ବାଜୁ ନେଇ ଏଠାକୁ ମୋʼ ସ୍ୱାମୀଙ୍କ କତିକି ଆଣିଅଛି।”
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 ଏଥିରେ ଦାଉଦ ଦୁଖଃ ସକାଶୁ ଆପଣା ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଧରି ଚିରିଲେ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗୀ ଲୋକମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେହିପରି କଲେ;
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 ପୁଣି ଶାଉଲ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋନାଥନ ଓ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଲୋକମାନେ ଓ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ବଂଶ ଖଡ୍ଗରେ ପତିତ ହେବାରୁ ଦାଉଦ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗୀମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ବିଳାପ ଓ ରୋଦନ କଲେ ଓ ସନ୍ଧ୍ୟା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଉପବାସ କଲେ।
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 ଏଉତ୍ତାରେ ଦାଉଦ ସେହି ଯୁବାକୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେଉଁ ସ୍ଥାନର ଲୋକ?” ସେ ଉତ୍ତର କଲା, “ମୁଁ ଜଣେ ବିଦେଶୀ ଅମାଲେକୀୟ ଲୋକର ପୁତ୍ର।”
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 ତହୁଁ ଦାଉଦ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଅଭିଷିକ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ନାଶ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଆପଣା ହସ୍ତ ବଢ଼ାଇବାକୁ ଭୟ ନ କଲ, ଏ କିପରି?”
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 ଏଥିରେ ଦାଉଦ ଯୁବାମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଜଣକୁ ଡାକି କହିଲେ, “ପାଖକୁ ଯାଇ ତାକୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କର।” ତହିଁରେ ସେ ତାକୁ ଆଘାତ କରନ୍ତେ, ସେ ଅମାଲେକୀୟ ମଲା।
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 ପୁଣି ଦାଉଦ ମୃତ ଅମାଲେକୀୟକୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭ ରକ୍ତ ତୁମ୍ଭ ମସ୍ତକରେ ବର୍ତ୍ତୁ; କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମୁଖ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଦେଇ କହିଅଛି, ମୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଅଭିଷିକ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ବଧ କରିଅଛି।”
17 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଦାଉଦ ଶାଉଲ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋନାଥନଙ୍କ ମୃତ୍ୟୁୁରେ ବିଳାପ କଲେ;
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 ପୁଣି ଯିହୁଦା-ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କୁ ସେହି ଧନୁର୍ଗୀତ ଶିଖାଇବାକୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଲେ; ଦେଖ, ତାହା ଯାଶେର୍ ପୁସ୍ତକରେ ଲେଖାଅଛି।
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 “ହେ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଭୂଷଣ ସ୍ୱରୂପ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥଳୀରେ ହତ ହେଲେ! ବୀରମାନେ କିପରି ପତିତ ହେଲେ!
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 ଗାଥ୍ରେ ଏହା ନ ଜଣାଅ, ଅସ୍କିଲୋନର ଦାଣ୍ଡରେ ଏହା ପ୍ରଚାର ନ କର; କଲେ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟ କନ୍ୟାମାନେ ଆନନ୍ଦ କରିବେ ଓ ଅସୁନ୍ନତମାନଙ୍କ କନ୍ୟାଗଣ ଜୟଧ୍ୱନି କରିବେ।
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 ହେ ଗିଲ୍ବୋୟ ପର୍ବତଗଣ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ କାକର କି ବୃଷ୍ଟି ନ ପଡ଼ୁ କିଅବା ଉପହାରଜନକ କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ନ ହେଉ; କାରଣ ସେଠାରେ ବୀରମାନଙ୍କର ଢାଲ ମଳିନ ହେଲା, ଶାଉଲଙ୍କର ଢାଲ ତୈଳରେ ଅନଭିଷିକ୍ତ ରହିଲା।
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 ହତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ରକ୍ତରୁ, ବୀରମାନଙ୍କ ମେଦରୁ ଯୋନାଥନଙ୍କ ଧନୁ ଫେରେ ନାହିଁ ଓ ଶାଉଲଙ୍କର ଖଡ୍ଗ ଖାଲି ହୋଇ ଫେରେ ନାହିଁ।
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 ଶାଉଲ ଓ ଯୋନାଥନ ଜୀବଦ୍ଦଶାରେ ପରସ୍ପର ପ୍ରିୟ ଓ ତୁଷ୍ଟିଜନକ ଥିଲେ, ମରଣ ସମୟରେ ହେଁ ସେମାନେ ଭିନ୍ନ ହେଲେ ନାହିଁ; ସେମାନେ ଉତ୍କ୍ରୋଶ ପକ୍ଷୀଠାରୁ ବେଗବାନ, ସେମାନେ ସିଂହଠାରୁ ବଳବାନ ଥିଲେ।
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 ହେ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲର କନ୍ୟାଗଣ, ଶାଉଲଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ରୋଦନ କର, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସିନ୍ଦୂର ବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ବସ୍ତ୍ରରେ ସୁନ୍ଦର ରୂପେ ବସ୍ତ୍ରାନ୍ୱିତ କଲେ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଉପରେ ସ୍ୱର୍ଣ୍ଣ-ଅଳଙ୍କାର ମଣ୍ଡିଲେ।
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 ବୀରମାନେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କିପରି ମରିଅଛନ୍ତି। ଯୋନାଥନ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥଳୀରେ ହତ ହେଲେ।
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 ହେ ମୋହର ଭାଇ ଯୋନାଥନ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଲାଗି ବ୍ୟାକୁଳ ହେଉଅଛି; ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋହର ଅତି ତୁଷ୍ଟିଜନକ ଥିଲ; ମୋʼ ପ୍ରତି ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରେମ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ, ତାହା ସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରେମରୁ ବଳିଗଲା।
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 ବୀରମାନେ କିପରି ପତିତ ହେଲେ ଓ ଯୁଦ୍ଧାସ୍ତ୍ରସକଳ ବିନଷ୍ଟ ହେଲା।”
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
