1Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: and David waxed stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
1शाऊलका परिवार र दाऊदका परिवार माझ धेरै लामो समयसम्म युद्ध भयो। दाऊद दिन दिनै बलिया हुँदैथे। उता शाऊलका परिवारहरू भने कमजोर हुँदै गए।
2And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2दाऊदका छः जना छोराहरू हेब्रोनमा जन्मे। अम्नोन जेठो छोरा थिए, ऊ अहीनोअमको यिज्रेलीकी छोरा थिए।
3and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
3माहिलो छोरो किलाब थिए। उसकी आमा कर्मेलका नावालकी विधुवी अबीगेल थिइन्। साँहिलो छोरा अबशालोम थिए। अबशालोमकी आमा गशूरका राजा तिल्मैकी छोरी माकाह थिइन्।
4and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
4काँहिला छोरा अदोनियाह थिए। अदोनियाहकी आमा हग्गीत थिइन्। अन्तरे छोरो रापत्याह थिए। उसकी आमा अबितल थिइन्।
5and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
5कान्छा छोरा यत्रो थिए। यत्रोकी आमा दाऊदकी पत्नी एग्ला थिइन।
6And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong in the house of Saul.
6जब शाऊलका परिवार समूह र दाऊदका परिवार समूहका बीच युद्ध भयो अबनेर साह्रै बलिया भए।
7Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and [Ish-bosheth] said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
7शाऊलकी एउटी नोकर्नी एयाहकी छोरी रिश्मा थिई। ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरसित भने, “तिमीले मेरा बाबुकी नोकर्नीसित किन सहवास गर्यौ?”
8Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head that belongeth to Judah? This day do I show kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
8ईश्बोशेतका शब्दहरूले गर्दा अबनेर साह्रै रिसाए। अबनेरले भने, “म शाऊल र तिनका परिवारप्रति इमानदारी छु। मैले तिमीलाई दाऊदको हातमा दिइन। मैले दाऊदलाई तिमीलाई हराउन दिइन। म यहूदाको पक्षमा काम गर्ने देशद्रोही होइन। अहिले तपाईंले यस स्त्रीको विषयमा मलाई दोष दिएर रीसउठाउनु हुन्छ।
9God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him;
9[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
10to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba.
10[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
11And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
11ईश्बोशेतले केही भन्नुको सट्टा डरायो।
12And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also], Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
12अबनेरले दाऊदकहाँ दूत पठाए। अबनेरले खबर दियो, “यो भूमिमा कसले शासन गर्नु पर्छ हामी बिचमा त्यहाँ एउटा सन्धि होस् अनि म तिमीलाई इस्राएलका शासक बन्नमा सहायता गर्छु।”
13And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee; but one thing I require of thee: that is, thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
13दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “ठीक छ! म एउटा सन्धि गर्छु। तर म तिमीलाई एउटा शर्त राख्छुः जब सम्म तिमी शाऊलकी छोरी मीकललाई लिएर मकहाँ आउँदैनौ म तिमीसित भेट गर्ने छौन।”
14And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
14दाऊदले शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेत कहाँ दूत पठाए। उसको सन्देश थियो, “मेरी पत्नी मीकल मलाई फर्काई देऊ। तिनी मेरो प्रतिज्ञा थिइन्। तिनलाई पाउँनका निम्ति मैले एकसय पलिश्तीहरू मारें।”
15And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish.
15तब ईश्बोशेतले मानिसहरूलाई लैशका छोरा पलतीएल कहाँ गए र मीकल ल्याउनु भनेर अह्राए।
16And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return: and he returned.
16मीकलका लोग्ने पलतीएल रूँदै उसको पछि बहूरीम सम्म गए। तर अबनेरले पलतीएललाई, “उसको घर फर्केर जानु” भनेको हुनाले फर्किए।
17And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, In times past ye sought for David to be king over you:
17अबनेरले इस्राएलका अगुवाकहाँ खबर पठाए। तिनले भनिपठाए, “तिमीहरू दाऊदलाई आफ्ना राजा बनाउन चाहिरहेका छौ।
18now then do it; for Jehovah hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
18अब त्यो काम गर। परमप्रभुले दाऊदका सम्बन्धमा भन्नुभएको छ, ‘म मेरा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई पलिश्ती र अन्य अरू शत्रुहरूबाट बचाउने छु। म यो काम मेरो सेवक दाऊदलाई लगाएर गर्नेछु।”‘
19And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
19अबनेर बिन्यामीनहरूसित पनि यस विषयमा बोले तब उसले हेब्रोनमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले के गर्न चाहन्थे अनि बिन्यामीन कुल समूहले पनि के गर्न चाहन्थे भन्नलाई दाऊद भएकहाँ गए।
20So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
20त्यसपछि अबनेर हेब्रोनमा दाऊदकाहाँ आए। तिनले बीस जना मानिसहरू लिएर आएका थिए। दाऊदले अबनेर र तिनका मानिसहरूको लागि भोज गराए।
21And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
21अबनेरले दाऊदलाई भने, “मेरा मालिक राजा, मलाई इस्राएलीहरू तपाईं भएकाहँ ल्याउन दिनुहोस्। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तपाईंसँग एउटा सम्झौता गर्नेछन्। अनि तपाईंले चाहानु भए जस्तै इस्राएलमाथि शासन गर्नुहोस्।” दाऊदले अबनेरलाई जानदिए। अनि अबनेर शान्तसँग गए।
22And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a foray, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
22योआब र दाऊदका अधिकारी युद्धबाट फर्किएर आए। तिनीहरूले धेरै बहुमूल्य चीजहरू शत्रुपक्षबाट जम्मा गरे। दाऊदले अबनेरलाई शान्तसित पठाईसकेका थिए। त्यसै कारण अबनेर हेब्रोनमा दाऊदसँग थिएनन्।
23When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
23योआब र तिनका सम्पूर्ण सैनिक हेब्रोन पुगे। मानिसहरूले योआबलाई भने, “अबनेर ‘नेरका’ छोरा राजा दाऊद कहाँ आए अनि दाऊदले पनि अबनेरलाई शान्तिसित छोडि दिए।”
24Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
24योआब राजाकहाँ आएर भने, “तपाईंले के गर्नु भयो? अबनेर तपाईंसित भेट्न आयो तर तपाईंले त्यसलाई केही गर्नु भएन किन?
25Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
25तपाईंले अबनेर ‘नेरका’ छोरालाई चिन्नु हुन्छ। ती तपाईंलाई धोकादिन आएका हुन्। ती तपाईंको कामकाजहरू अध्ययन गर्न आएका हुन्।”
26And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
26योआबले दाऊदलाई छोडेर गयो। उसले सीराको पोखरीको छेउमा भएका दूतहरूलाई अबनेरकहाँ पठायो। दूतहरूले अबनेरलाई फर्काएर ल्याए तर यो कुरा दाऊदले थाहा पाएनन्।
27And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
27जब अबनेर हेब्रोन पुगे योआबले उसलाई मूल द्वारको छेउमा ऊ सित गोप्य कुरा गर्न भनि लागे अनि योआबले अबनेरको भुँडीमा छुरी हान्यो। अबनेर तत्कालै मरे। अबनेरले योआबका भाई असाहेललाई मारेका थिए। यसकरण अहिले योआबले अबनेरलाई मारे।
28And afterward, when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
28पछि दाऊदले यो सुने। दाऊदले भने, “म र मेरो राज्य अबनेरका मृत्युबारे सदा-सर्वदा निर्दोष छ। यो परमप्रभुले जान्नुहुन्छ।
29let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
29योआब र उसका परिवारका सदस्यहरू यसको दोषी छन्। उसका सम्पूर्ण परिवारलाई यसको दोष दिन सकिन्छ। मलाई आशा छ अब योआबका परिवारले साह्रै कठिनाइका दिन देख्नु पर्नेछ। मलाई पूरा विश्वास छ त्यसका परिवारका सम्पूर्ण सदस्यमा कोरको बिमार सल्कने छ। बैशाखी लगाएर हिंडने छन्, युद्धमा मारिने छन् अनि भोक भोकै रहनु पर्नेछ।”
30So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
30अबनेरले तिनीहरूका भाई असाहेललाई गिबोनको युद्धमा मारेको कारण योआब र उसको भाई अबिशैले अबनेरलाई मार्यो।
31And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.
31[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
32And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
32[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
33And the king lamented for Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dieth?
33राजा दाऊदले अबनेरको मलामी जाँदा दुःखको गीत गाएः “के अबनेर मूर्ख अपराधी झै मरे?
34Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: As a man falleth before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people wept again over him.
34अबनेर, तिम्रा हातहरू बाँधिएका थिएनन्। तिम्रा खुट्टाहरूमा साङ्गली बाँधिएको थिएन। होइन, अबनेर, तिमीलाई दुष्ट मानिसहरूद्वारा मारीयो।” तब सबै मानिसहरू तिनको मृत्यु शोकमा फेरि रूनथाले।
35And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David sware, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or aught else, till the sun be down.
35दिनभरि नै मानिसहरू आएर दाऊदलाई भोजन ग्रहण गर्न अनुरोध गरे। तर दाऊदले प्रतिज्ञा गरेका थिए। उसले भने, “यदि घाम अस्ताउनु अघि मैले भोजन ग्रहण गरें भने परमेश्वरले मलाई धेरै दुःखहरूले दण्ड दिऊन्।”
36And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
36सबै मानिसहरूले हेरिरहेका थिए अनि तिनीहरू राजा दाऊदले गरेका कार्यसँग सन्तुष्ट थिए।
37So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
37यहूदा र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले बुझे कि राजाको कुनै हात छैन नेरका छोरा अबनेरको मृत्युमा।
38And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
38राजा दाऊदले उसका अधिकारीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूलाई त्यो थाहा छैन आज इस्राएलका एक महत्वपूर्ण अगुवाको मृत्युभयो।
39And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
39आज म नयाँ राजा भए तापनि, कमजोर छु अनि यी सरूयाहको छोराहरू जसले मलाई धेरै दुःख दिएका छन्। म आशा गर्छु परमप्रभुले यी दुष्ट काम गर्नेलाई तिनको दुष्टताको निम्ति सजाय दिनुहुनेछ।” शाऊलको परिवारमा समस्या
