Acts 16
1 ತರುವಾಯ ಅವನು ದೆರ್ಬೆ ಮತ್ತು ಲುಸ್ತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದನು; ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಇಗೋ, ನಂಬಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯ ಮಗನಾದ ತಿಮೊಥೆಯನೆಂಬ ಹೆಸರುಳ್ಳ ಒಬ್ಬ ಶಿಷ್ಯನಿದ್ದನು. ಅವನ ತಂದೆಯು ಗ್ರೀಕನು.
2 ಲುಸ್ತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇಕೋನ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇದ್ದ ಸಹೋದರರಿಂದ ಇವನು ಒಳ್ಳೇಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಹೊಂದಿದವನಾಗಿದ್ದನು.
3 ಇವನನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಸಂಗಡ ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಬೇಕೆಂದು ಪೌಲನು ಅಪೇಕ್ಷಿಸಿ ಆಯಾ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯರ ನಿಮಿತ್ತವಾಗಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಸುನ್ನತಿ ಮಾಡಿಸಿದನು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅವನ ತಂದೆ ಗ್ರೀಕನೆಂದು ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಗೊತ್ತಿತ್ತು.
4 ಅವರು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಚಾರ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಅಪೊಸ್ತಲರಿಂದಲೂ ಹಿರಿಯ ರಿಂದಲೂ ನೇಮಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ವಿಧಿಗಳನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸುವಂತೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿಸಿದರು.
5 ಹೀಗೆ ಸಭೆಗಳು ವಿಶ್ವಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿರಗೊಂಡು ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ದಿನಾಲು ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಿದ್ದವು.
6 ಅವರು ಫ್ರುಗ್ಯ ಗಲಾತ್ಯ ಪ್ರಾಂತ್ಯದ ಕಡೆಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಹಾದು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ ಆಸ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಕ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸಾರಬಾರದೆಂದು ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನು ತಡೆದದ್ದರಿಂದ
7 ಅವರು ಮುಸ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದು ಬಿಥೂನ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಆದರೆ ಆತ್ಮನು ಅವರನ್ನು ಹೋಗಗೊಡಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.
8 ಹೀಗೆ ಅವರು ಮೂಸ್ಯವನ್ನು ದಾಟಿ ತ್ರೋವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದರು.
9 ಆಗ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೌಲನಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ದರ್ಶನವಾಯಿತು; ಏನಂ ದರೆ--ಮಕೆದೋನ್ಯ ದೇಶದವನಾದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನು ನಿಂತುಕೊಂಡು--ಮಕೆದೋನ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದು ನಮಗೆ ನೆರವಾಗಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಅವನನ್ನು ಬೇಡಿಕೊಂಡನು.
10 ಅವನು ಆ ದರ್ಶನವನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದ ತರುವಾಯ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸುವಾರ್ತೆಯನ್ನು ಸಾರುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಕರ್ತನು ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕರೆದಿದ್ದಾನೆಂದು ತಿಳುಕೊಂಡು ಕೂಡಲೆ ಮಕೆದೋನ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗುವಂತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿ ಸಿದೆವು.
11 ಆದದರಿಂದ ತ್ರೋವದಿಂದ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಮಾಡಿ ನೆಟ್ಟಗೆ ಸಮೊಥ್ರಾಕೆಗೆ ಬಂದು ಮರುದಿನ ನೆಯಾಪೊಲಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿ ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಫಿಲಿಪ್ಪಿಗೆ ಮುಟ್ಟಿದೆವು.
12 ಅದು ಮಕೆದೋನ್ಯ ಭಾಗದ ಮುಖ್ಯಪಟ್ಟಣವೂ ವಲಸೆಯ ಸ್ಥಳವೂ ಆಗಿತ್ತು. ಆ ಪಟ್ಟಣದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ಕೆಲವು ದಿವಸ ಇದ್ದೆವು.
13 ಸಬ್ಬತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ಪಟ್ಟಣದೊಳಗಿಂದ ನದೀತೀರದ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದೆವು. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಡಿಕೆಯಂತೆ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿತ್ತು; ಕೂಡಿ ಬಂದಿದ್ದ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯರೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಾವು ಕೂತು ಕೊಂಡು ಮಾತನಾಡಿದೆವು.
14 ದೇವರನ್ನು ಆರಾಧಿಸು ತ್ತಿದ್ದವಳೂ ಥುವತೈರ ಪಟ್ಟಣದವಳೂ ಧೂಮ್ರ ವರ್ಣದ ವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾರುತ್ತಿದ್ದವಳೂ ಆದ ಲುದ್ಯ ಳೆಂಬ ಹೆಸರುಳ್ಳ ಒಬ್ಬ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯು ನಮ್ಮ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಳು. ಕರ್ತನು ಆಕೆಯ ಹೃದಯವನ್ನು ತೆರದ ದ್ದರಿಂದ ಪೌಲನು ಹೇಳಿದ ಮಾತುಗಳಿಗೆ ಆಕೆಯು ಲ
15 ಆಕೆಯೂ ಆಕೆಯ ಮನೆಯವರೂ ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಮಾಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡ ಮೇಲೆ--ನಾನು ಕರ್ತನಿಗೆ ನಂಬಿಗಸ್ತಳಾದವಳೆಂದು ನೀವು ತೀರ್ಮಾನಿಸಿದರೆ ನನ್ನ ಮನೆಗೆ ಬಂದು ಇರಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಆಕೆಯು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಬೇಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಬಲವಂತಮಾಡಿದಳು.
16 ಇದಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ನಾವು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ ನಡೆಯುವ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಗ ಕಾಲಜ್ಞಾನದ ದುರಾತ್ಮ ಹಿಡಿದವಳಾಗಿ ಕಣಿ ಹೇಳುವದರಿಂದ ತನ್ನ ಯಜ ಮಾನರಿಗೆ ಬಹು ಆದಾಯವನ್ನು ತರುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಹುಡುಗಿಯು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಸಂಧಿಸಿದಳು.
17 ಈಕೆಯು ಪೌಲನನ್ನೂ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನೂ ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸಿ--ಇವರು ನಮಗೆ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಯ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸುವ ಮಹೋನ್ನತ ನಾದ ದೇವರ ಸೇವಕರು ಎಂದು ಕೂಗಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಳು.
18 ಹೀಗೆ ಅವಳು ಅನೇಕ ದಿವಸ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಪೌಲನು ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ವ್ಯಥೆಪಟ್ಟು ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ಆ ದೆವ್ವಕ್ಕೆ--ಅವಳನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋಗು ಎಂದು ಯೇಸು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಹೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನಗೆ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆ ಕೊಡುತ್ತೇನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು. ಅದೇ ಗಳಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅದು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋಯಿತು.
19 ಅವಳ ಯಜಮಾನರು ತಮ್ಮ ಆದಾಯದ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆ ತಪ್ಪಿತಲ್ಲಾ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದು ಪೌಲನನ್ನೂ ಸೀಲನನ್ನೂ ಹಿಡಿದು ಸಂತೆಯ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಎಳ ಕೊಂಡು ಹೋದರು.
20 ಅವರನ್ನು ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಗಳ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಿ--ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯರಾದ ಈ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ನಮ್ಮ ಪಟ್ಟಣವನ್ನು ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ಕಳವಳ ಪಡಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
21 ರೋಮಾಯರಾದ ನಾವು ಒಪ್ಪುವದ ಕ್ಕಾಗಲೀ ಕೈಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಲೀ ನ್ಯಾಯವಲ್ಲದ ಆಚಾರ ಗಳನ್ನು ಬೋಧಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ ಅಂದರು.
22 ಸಮೂಹವು ಒಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ಕೂಡಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಎದ್ದಾಗ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಗಳು ಅವರ ವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಹರಿದು ಅವರನ್ನು ಹೊಡೆಯುವಂತೆ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
23 ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ಹೊಡೆಸಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವರನ್ನು ಭದ್ರವಾಗಿ ಕಾಯಬೇಕೆಂದು ಸೆರೆಮನೆಯ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗೆ ಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿ ಸೆರೆಮನೆಯೊಳಗೆ ಹಾಕಿದರು.
24 ಅವನು ಅಂಥಾ ಒಂದು ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಸೆರೆಯ ಒಳಭಾಗಕ್ಕೆ ದೂಡಿ ಅವರ ಕಾಲುಗಳಿಗೆ ಕೋಳವನ್ನು ಹಾಕಿ ಬಿಗಿಸಿದನು.
25 ಮಧ್ಯರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪೌಲನೂ ಸೀಲನೂ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ ಮಾಡಿದವರಾಗಿ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಸ್ತುತಿಪದಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಸೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದವರು ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
26 ಆಗ ಆಕಸ್ಮಾತ್ತಾಗಿ ಮಹಾಭೂಕಂಪವುಂಟಾಯಿತು; ಸೆರೆಮನೆಯ ಅಸ್ತಿ ವಾರಗಳು ಕದಲಿದವು. ಅದೇ ಕ್ಷಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಕದಗಳೆಲ್ಲಾ ತೆರೆದವು, ಎಲ್ಲರ ಬೇಡಿಗಳು ಕಳಚಿಬಿದ್ದವು.
27 ಸೆರೆಯ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯು ನಿದ್ದೆಯಿಂದ ಎಚ್ಚತ್ತು ಸೆರೆಮನೆಯ ಕದಗಳು ತೆರೆದಿರುವದನ್ನು ಕಂಡು ಸೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದವರು ಓಡಿಹೋದರೆಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿ ಕತ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಹಿರಿದು ತನ್ನನ್ನು ತಾನು ಕೊಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕೆಂದಿದ್ದನು.
28 ಆದರೆ ಪೌಲನು ಮಹಾಧ್ವನಿಯಿಂದ ಕೂಗಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ--ನೀನೇನೂ ಕೇಡು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಡ; ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಇಲ್ಲೇ ಇದ್ದೇವೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
29 ಆಗ ಅವನು ದೀಪ ತರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಹೇಳಿ ಒಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹಾರಿ ನಡುಗುತ್ತಾ ಪೌಲ ಸೀಲರ ಮುಂದೆ ಬಿದ್ದನು.
30 ಅವರನ್ನು ಹೊರಗೆ ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದು--ಅಯ್ಯಗಳಿರಾ, ನಾನು ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಹೊಂದುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಏನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಲು
31 ಅವರು--ಕರ್ತನಾದ ಯೇಸು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಮೇಲೆ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯಿಡು, ಆಗ ನೀನು ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಹೊಂದುವಿ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮನೆಯವರೂ ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಹೊಂದು ವರು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
32 ಅವನಿಗೂ ಅವನ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದವರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಅವರು ಕರ್ತನ ವಾಕ್ಯವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.
33 ಆಮೇಲೆ ಅವನು ರಾತ್ರಿಯ ಅದೇ ಗಳಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಿ ಅವರ ಗಾಯಗಳನ್ನು ತೊಳೆದನು; ಕೂಡಲೆ ತಾನು ತನ್ನವ ರೆಲ್ಲರ ಸಹಿತವಾಗಿ ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಮಾಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡನು.
34 ತರುವಾಯ ಅವರನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಮನೆಗೆ ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಿ ಊಟಮಾಡಿಸಿ ತನ್ನ ಮನೆಯವರೆಲ್ಲರ ಸಂಗಡ ದೇವರಲ್ಲಿ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ಉಲ್ಲಾಸಗೊಂಡನು.
35 ಬೆಳಗಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಗಳು--ಆ ಮನುಷ್ಯರನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡು ಎಂದು ಸಿಪಾಯಿಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಹೇಳಿಕಳುಹಿಸಿದರು.
36 ಸೆರೆಯ ಅಧಿ ಕಾರಿಯು ಈ ಮಾತನ್ನು ಪೌಲನಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿ--ನ್ಯಾಯಾ ಧಿಪತಿಗಳು ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿ ದ್ದಾರೆ, ಆದದರಿಂದ ಈಗ ನೀವು ಸಮಾಧಾನದಿಂದ ಹೊರಟುಹೋಗಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
37 ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಪೌಲನು--ಅವರು ವಿಚಾರಣೆ ಮಾಡದೆ ರೋಮ ನ್ನರಾದ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲರ ಮುಂದೆ ಹೊಡಿಸಿ ಸೆರೆಮನೆ ಯೊಳಗೆ ಹಾಕಿಸಿದರು; ಈಗ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಗುಪ್ತವಾಗಿ ಹೊರಗೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸುತ್ತಾರೋ? ಹಾಗೆ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಆಗಕೂಡದು; ಅವರೇ ಬಂದು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಹೊರಗೆ ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಲಿ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿ
38 ಸಿಪಾಯಿಗಳು ಈ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿ ಗಳಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿದಾಗ ಅವರು ರೋಮನ್ನರು ಎಂಬ ಮಾತನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ಭಯಪಟ್ಟರು.
39 ಅವರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಅವರು ವಿನಯವಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿ ಹೊರಗೆ ಕರೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಿ ಊರನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋಗ ಬೇಕೆಂದು ಅವರನ್ನು ಬೇಡಿಕೊಂಡರು.
40 ಆಗ ಅವರು ಸೆರೆಮನೆಯೊಳಗಿಂದ ಹೊರಟು ಲುದ್ಯಳ ಮನೆಗೆ ಬಂದು ಸಹೋದರರನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಧೈರ್ಯಗೊಳಿಸಿ ಹೊರಟು ಹೋದರು.
1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
2 Samuel 3 in Tamil and English
1 ଏହିପରି ଭାବରେ, ଦୀର୍ଘଦିନ ଧରି ଦାଉଦ ଓ ଶାଉଲଙ୍କ ପରିବାର ମଧିଅରେ କ୍ରମାଗତ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ଗ୍ଭଲିଲା। ଦାଉଦ ଧି ରେ ଧି ରେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ହବୋକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଲାଗିଲେ ଏବଂ ଶାଉଲର ପରିବାର, ଦିନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦିନ ଦୁର୍ବଳ ହବୋକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଲାଗିଲା।
Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
2 ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ଅନକେ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ହିବ୍ରୋଣ ରେ ଜନ୍ମଲାଭ କଲେ। ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଥମ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଥିଲେ ଅମ୍ନୋନ୍, ୟିଷ୍ରିଯଲେୀଯାର ତାଙ୍କର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଅହୀନୋଯମଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲ।
And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
3 କର୍ମିଲୀଯ ନାବଲ୍ର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଅବୀଗଲ୍ଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲ ଦ୍ବିତୀୟ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର କିଲାବ୍ ଏବଂ ତୃତୀୟ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ହେଲ ଅବ୍ଶାଲୋମ୍, ସେ ଗଶୂରର ରାଜା ତଲ୍ମଯର କନ୍ଯା ମାଖାରର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର।
And 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;
4 ଚତକ୍ସ୍ଟର୍ଥ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲ, ତାଙ୍କର ନାମ ଅଦୋନୀଯ, ଅଦୋନୀଯର ମାତା ହେଲ, ହଗୀତ୍ ଏବଂ ପଞ୍ଚମ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ହେଲ ଶଫଟୀଯ ସେ ଅବିଟଲର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର।
And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5 ଷଷ୍ଠ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ହେଲ, ୟିନ୍ତ୍ରିଯମ୍। ସେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଇଗ୍ଲାର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର। ଏହିପରି ଛଅଟି ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ହିବ୍ରୋଣ ରେ ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲ।
And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6 ଶାଉଲ ବଂଶ ଓ ଦାଉଦ ବଂଶ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ଲାଗିବା ସମୟରେ ଅବନର ଶାଉଲଙ୍କ ଗୃହ ମଧିଅରେ ନିଜକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବଳବାନ୍ କଲା।
And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
7 ଶାଉଲଙ୍କର ଜଣେ ଉପପତ୍ନୀ ଥିଲା, ଯାହାର ନାମ ରିସ୍ପା, ସେ ଅଯାର କନ୍ଯା ଥିଲା। ଇଶ୍ବୋଶତ୍ ଅବନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କାହିଁକି ମାରେ ପିତାଙ୍କର ଉପପତ୍ନୀଙ୍କ ସହିତ ୟୌନ ସଐର୍କ ରଖିଛ?
And 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?
8 ଅବନର ଇଶ୍ବୋଶତର କଥା ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ଅତି ରାଗ ରେ କହିଲା, ମୁ ତ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପିତା ଶାଉଲ ବଂଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଭାଇ ବନ୍ଧକ୍ସ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୟା କରୁଅଛି। ମୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦାଉଦ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିନାହିଁ। ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆଜି ଏହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଅପରାଧ ମାେ ଉପରେ ଆରୋପ କରୁଅଛ।
Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
9 ମୁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଏହି ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରୁଅଛି। ମୁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ନିଶ୍ଚିଚ ହେଉଅଛି ଯେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଯାହା କହିଥିଲେ, ତାହା ଘଟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଯାଉଛି। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଥିଲେ, ଯେ ସେ ଶାଉଲ ବଂଶଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ରାଜ ସିଂହାସନ ନଇେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦବେେ।
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
10 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟିହକ୍ସ୍ଟଦା ଏବଂ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ରାଜା କରିବେ। ସେ ଦାନଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବେର୍ଶବୋ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଶାସନ କରିବେ। ଏବଂ ମୁ ଭାବକ୍ସ୍ଟଛି, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେ ଉପରେ ଅନ୍ଯାଯ କରିବେ ଯଦି ମୁ ତାହା ନକରେ।
To translate 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.
11 ଇଶ୍ବୋଶତ ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଭୟ ରେ ସବୁ କଥା ଅବନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିପାରି ନଥିଲା।
And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
12 ଅବନର ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂତଗଣ ପଠାଇଲେ ଏବଂ କହିଲେ, ଏ ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କିଏ ଶାସନ କରିବା ଯୋଗ୍ଯ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ବୋଲି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭାବକ୍ସ୍ଟଛ? ମାେ ସହିତ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏକ ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କର ଏବଂ ସମଗ୍ର ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଉପରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ରାଜତ୍ବ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିବି।
And 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.
13 ଦାଉଦ କହିଲେ, ଉତ୍ତମ, ମୁ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କରୁଅଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଗୋଟିଏ କଥା ପଗ୍ଭରିବି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଶାଉଲଙ୍କର କନ୍ଯା ମୀଖଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମାେ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନ ଆଣିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସାକ୍ଷାତ କରିବି ନାହିଁ।
And 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.
14 ଦାଉଦ ଶାଉଲଙ୍କର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଈଶ୍ବୋଶତଙ୍କ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏକ ଦୂତ ପଠାଇ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ମୀଖଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମାେତେ ଫରୋଇ ଦିଅ। ଯେ ହତେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମୁ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ 100 ଜଣ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଛି
And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Saul’s son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 ଇଶ୍ବୋଶତ୍ ଲୋକ ପଠାଇ ଲଯିଶର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ପଲ୍ଟିଯେଲ୍ ନାମକ ତାହାର ସ୍ବାମୀ ନିକଟରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମୀଖଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଲୋ।
And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
16 ତା'ର ସ୍ବାମୀ ରୋଦନ କଲା ଏବଂ ବହକ୍ସ୍ଟରୀମ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କଲା। ତା'ପରେ ଅବନର ପଲଟିଯଲଙ୍କେକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲା, ୟାଅ, ଫରେିୟାଅ, ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଫରେିଗଲା।
And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
17 ଅବ୍ନର ଏହି ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ନେତାଙ୍କ ପାଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଠାଇଲେ। ସେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ରାଜା କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରି ଆସକ୍ସ୍ଟଅଛି।
And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:
18 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଏହା କର, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ବିଷଯ ରେ କହିଥିଲେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ସେ କହିଲେ, 'ମୁ ମାରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟମାନଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବି ଏବଂ ମୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଅନ୍ୟ ସମସ୍ତ ଶତୃଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମଧ୍ଯ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବି। ମୁ ଏହା ମାରେ ପ୍ରିଯ ଦାସ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ହିଁ କରିବି।'
Now then do it: for the Lord 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.
19 ଅବନର ଏହିସବୁ କଥାଗକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହିବ୍ରୋଣଠା ରେ କହିଲେ। ଏବଂ ବିନ୍ଯାମୀନ ବଂଶଧରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ। ଅବନରଙ୍କର ଏହିକଥା ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ବିନ୍ଯାମୀନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶୁଣିବାକୁ ଭଲ ଲାଗିଲା।
And 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 that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 ତା'ପରେ ଅବ୍ନର ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ପାଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହିବ୍ରୋଣକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଲେ। ଅବ୍ନର ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ କୋଡିଏ ଜଣ ଲୋକଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଆଣିଥିଲେ। ଅବନର ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଆସିଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏକ ଭୋଜି ଦେଲେ।
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
21 ଅବନର ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ହେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମହାରାଜ, ମାେତେ ୟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦିଅ, ଏବଂ ସମସ୍ତ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦିଅ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ଏକ ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କରିବେ। ଏବଂ ଆପଣ ସମଗ୍ର ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ରାଜା ହବେେ। ଏବଂ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଇଛା ମତେ ରାଜତ୍ବ କରିବେ। ତେଣୁ ଦାଉଦ ଅବନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟମତି ଦେଲେ ଏବଂ ଅବନର ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ଉକ୍ତ ସ୍ଥାନ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କଲେ।
And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
22 ୟୋଯାବ୍ ଏବଂ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ଉଚ୍ଚପଦସ୍ଥ ସାମରୀକ ପଦାଧିକାରୀମାନେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧରୁ ଫରେିଲେ। ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବହକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମୂଲ୍ଯବାନ ପଦାର୍ଥ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଆଣିଥିଲେ। ଅବ୍ନର ହିବ୍ରୋଣ ରେ ସେତବେେଳେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ନ ଥିଲେ। କାରଣ ସେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ୟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦଇେଥିବାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସେ ସଠାେରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ସ୍ଥାନ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କରିଥିଲେ।
And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, 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.
23 ଯୋୟାବ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ ହିବ୍ରୋଣଠା ରେ ପହଁଞ୍ଚିଲେ। ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୋୟାବକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ନରର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଅବନର ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଥିଲା ଓ ଦାଉଦ ଅବନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ୟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦେଲେ। ସେଥିପାଇଁ ସେ ନିରାପଦ ରେ ଫରେିଗଲା।
When 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.
24 ଯୋୟାବ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଲେ ଏବଂ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ କଲ? ଅବ୍ନର ଆପଣଙ୍କ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଥିଲା, କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଘାତ ନ କରି ପଠାଇ ଦେଲେ।
Then 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?
25 ଆପଣ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ଅବ୍ନର ହେଉଛି ନରର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର, ଆପଣ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ଯେ, ସେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପାଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଛଳନା କରିବାକୁ ଆସିଥିଲା ଓ ଆପଣ କ'ଣ କରୁଥିଲେ ତାହା ଖାଜେିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସେ ଆସିଥିଲା।
Thou 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.
26 ଯୋୟାବ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ନିକଟରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଲା ଏବଂ ସିରା ନିକଟରେ ଥିବା ଅବ୍ନରଙ୍କ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂତ ପଠାଇଲେ। ଦୂତଗଣ ସିରାର କୂଅ ନିକଟରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅବନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଫରୋଇ ଆଣିଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ ଏକଥା ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଜଣା ଥିଲା।
And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
27 ଯେତବେେଳେ ଅବ୍ନର ହିବ୍ରୋଣଠା ରେ ପହଁଞ୍ଚିଲେ। ଯୋୟାବ ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ନିରୋଳା ରେ କଥାବାର୍ତ୍ତା ପାଇଁ ତାଙ୍କୁ ନଗର ଦ୍ବାର ଭିତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇଗେଲେ। ଏବଂ ଯୋୟାବ ଅବ୍ନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସହେିଠା ରେ ତାଙ୍କ ପଟେ ରେ ଖଡ୍ଗ ଭୂଷି ମାରି ଦେଲେ। ଅବ୍ନର ଯୋୟାବର ଭାଇ ଅସା ହେଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ଯୋୟାବ ଅବ୍ନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ।
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 ଏହାପରେ ଦାଉଦ ଏକଥା ଜାଣିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପାଇଲେ, ଏବଂ କହିଲେ, ନରର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଅବ୍ନର ରକ୍ତପାତ ବିଷଯ ରେ ସବୁ ବେଳେ ମୁ ଓ ମାରେରାଜ୍ଯ ନିର୍ଦ୍ ଦୋଷୀ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହି ବିଷଯ ରେ ଜାଣନ୍ତି।
And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
29 ଯୋୟାବ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କର ପରିବାର ଏଥିପାଇଁ ଦାଯୀ ଏବଂ ମୁ ଭାବକ୍ସ୍ଟଛି ତାଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ଦୋଷୀ। ତାଙ୍କ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ସମସ୍ତେ କକ୍ସ୍ଟଷ୍ଠରୋଗ ରେ ଆକ୍ରାନ୍ତ ହବେ, ଅଭାବରେ ରହିବେ ଓ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ରେ ହତ ହବେ।
Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on 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 on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
30 ଯୋୟାବ ଓ ତା'ର ଭାଇ ଅବୀଶଯ ଅବ୍ନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ, କାରଣ ଅବ୍ନର ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଭାଇ ଅସା ହେଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗିବିଯା ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ରେ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଥିଲେ।
So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
31 ଦାଉଦ ଯୋୟାବ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଚିରିଦିଅ ଓ ସମସ୍ତେ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଃଖଦ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପିନ୍ଧ, ଅବ୍ନର ପାଇଁ ରୋଦନ କର।
And 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 himself followed the bier.
32 ସମାନେେ ହିବ୍ରୋଣଠା ରେ ଅବ୍ନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କବର ଦେଲେ। ରାଜା ଦାଉଦ ମଧ୍ଯ ସେ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ରହିଲେ। ରାଜା ଦାଉଦ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନେ କବର ନିକଟରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେ ରୋଦନ କଲେ।
And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
33 ରାଜା ଦାଉଦ ଅବନର ଚିତା ରେ ଛିଡା ହାଇେ ଏହି ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଃଖ ଗୀତ ବୋଲିଲେ,
And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
34 ଅବ୍ନର ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ହାତ ବନ୍ଧା ନ ଥିଲା କି? ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପାଦ ରେ ଶିଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟଳି ନ ଥିଲା, ତଥାପି, ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ମାରି ଦେଲେ।
Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.
35 ଦିନତମାମ ଲୋକମାନେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଖାଇବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଦାଉଦ ଏକ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଥିଲେ ଓ କହିଲେ, ଯଦି ସୂର୍ୟ୍ଯାସ୍ତ ପୂର୍ବରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମୁ ରୋଟୀ କିମ୍ବା ଅନ୍ୟ କିଛି ଆହାର କରେ, ତବେେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାେତେ ଦଣ୍ତ ଓ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଃଖ ଦବେେ।
And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
36 ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଏକଥା ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଝିଲେ, ରାଜା ଯାହା କରୁଛନ୍ତି ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ରେ ତାହା ଭଲ ଥିଲା ବୋଲି ସମସ୍ତେ ତାହା ହୃଦଯଙ୍ଗମ କଲେ।
And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
37 ଏହିପରି ନରର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଅବ୍ନରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବା ଯେ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଆଡକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହାଇେ ନାହିଁ, ଏକଥା ସଦେିନ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଝିଲେ।
For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
38 ରାଜା ଦାଉଦ ତାଙ୍କର ସୈନ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଜାଣ ଯେ ଆଜି ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଜଣେ ମହତ୍ବପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ନେତାଙ୍କର ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯ ହେଲା।
And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
39 ମୁ ରାଜା ରୂପେ ଅଭିଷିକ୍ତ ହେଲେ ହେଁ ତଥାପି ମୁ ଆଜି ଦୁର୍ବଳ। ଏହି ସରକ୍ସ୍ଟଯାର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ରମାନେ ମାେତେ ଅତି ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଃଖର କାରଣ ଦେଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହି କକ୍ସ୍ଟକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ତାଙ୍କର କକ୍ସ୍ଟକର୍ମ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସା ରେ ଦଣ୍ତ ଦିଅନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ।
And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the Lord shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
