2 Samuel 4
1 शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतले अबनेरको मृत्युको खबर सुन्छ। ईश्बोशेत र तिनका सबै मानिसहरू डराए।
2 दुइजना मानिसहरू शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतलाई भेट्न गए। ती दुवै मानिसहरू फौजका कप्तानहरू थिए। तिनीहरूका नाउँ रेकाब र बाना थियो। बेरोतका शिम्मोनका छोराहरू थिए ती दुइ। (बेरोत बिन्यामीन कुल परिवार समूहका अधिनस्त भएकोले तिनीहरू बिन्यामीनी थिए
3 तर बेरोतका सबै मानिसहरू गित्तैममा भागे र अहिले सम्म तिनीहरू त्यहीं छन्।)
4 शाऊलको छोरा जोनाथनका मपीबोशेत नामका छोरा थिए। जब मपीबोशेत पाँच वर्षको हुँदा यिज्रेलबाट शाऊल र जोनाथन मारिएको खबर उसको घरमा आयो। ती शत्रुहरू आइरहेछ भनेर डराइन् मपीबोशेतलाई स्याहार्न उसलाई समातेर टाढ भागिन्। तर जब छिटो-छिटो भाग्न थालीन् त्यो बालक भुइँमा लडयो। यसरी उसको दुवै खुट्टा लङ्गडो भयो।
5 बेरोतीका रिम्मोनका छोराहरू रिकाब र बाना मध्यान्हमा ईश्बोशेतको घरमा गए। ईश्बोशेतमा गर्मी भएकोले आराम गरिरहेका थिए।
6 रेकाब र बाना त्यस घरभित्र केही गहुँ लिने निहुमा गए। ईश्बोशेत आफ्ना ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहेका थिए।
7 रेकाब र बानाले ईश्बोशेतलाई छुरीले घोचेर मारे। तब तिनीहरूले त्यसको टाउको काटेर तिनीहरूसितै लिएर गए। तिनीहरू रातभरि यर्दन बेंसी भएर हिंडे।
8 हेब्रोन आइपुगे अनि दाऊदलाई ईश्बोशेतको टाउको सुम्पे।रेकाब र बानाले राजा दाऊदलाई भने, “तपाईंका शत्रु शाऊलका छोरा ईश्बोशेतको टाउको यहाँ छ। उसले तपाईंलाई मार्न चाहान्थ्यो। परमप्रभुले शाऊल र उसका परिवारका मानिसहरूलाई आज तपाईंको खातिर सजाय दिनुभयो।”
9 तर दाऊदले रेकाब र उसका भाइ बानालाई भने, “परमप्रभु शाश्वत हुनुहुन्छ, निश्चय नै उहाँले मलाई धेरै बिपत्तीहरूबाट बचाउनु भएको छ।
10 तर पहिले एकपल्ट एउटाले सोच्यो यो समचार मेरो निम्ति असल थियो र भन्यो, उसले भन्यो, ‘हेर्नु होस् शाऊल मर्यो।’ उसले सोच्यो यो खबर सुनेर म उसलाई उचित पुरस्कार दिन्छु। तर मैले त्यसलाई सिकलगमा मारिदिएँ।
11 यसैकारण तिमीहरू, दुष्ट मानिसहरूले निर्दोष मानिसलाई उसको घर भित्र सुतिरहको बेला मार्यौ, अब म तिमीहरूलाई मारेर उसको मृत्युको बद्ला लिनेछु, अनि म तिमीहरूलाई यस भूमि देखि धपाइनदिनेछु।”
12 यसकारण दाऊदले उसको सैनिकहरूलाई रिकाब र बन्नाहलाई मार्ने आदेश दिए। सैनिकहरूले रिकाबको र शरीरलाई बन्नाहका हात खुट्टाहरू काटेर हेब्रोनको पोखरीको छेउमा झुण्ड्याए। तब तिनीहरूले ईश्बोशेतको टाउकोलाई अबनेरको चिहान भित्र हेब्रोनमा गाडे।
1 And when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 And Saul’s son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
4 And Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the Lord hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
2 Samuel 9 in Tamil and English
1 दाऊदले सोधे, “के शाऊलका परिवारका कुनै सदस्य जीवित छन्? जोनाथनको कारणले म उ प्रति दयालु बन्न चाहान्छु।”
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
2 शाऊलका परिवारमा एकजना सीबा नामका नोकर थिए। दाऊदका सेवकहरूले सीबालाई दाऊदको अघि बोलाए। राजा दाऊदले सीबालाई भने, “के तिमी नै सीबा हौ?”सीबाले भने, “ज्यू, म तपाईंको सेवक सीबा हुँ।”
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3 राजाले भने, “के शाऊलका परिवारका कुनै सन्तान बाँचेका छन? यदि छन् भने म परमेश्वरको दया उसलाई देखाउन चाहान्छु।”सीबाले राजा दाऊदलाई भने, “जोनाथनका एकजा छोरा अझै जीवित छन्। तर उसका दुवै खुट्टा लङ्गडो छन।”
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 राजाले सीबालाई भने, “त्यो छोरा कहाँ छ?”सीबाले राजालाई भने, “उनी लो-देबारका अम्मीएलका छोरा मकीरका घरमा छन्।”
And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
5 त्यसपछि राजा दाऊदले आफ्ना केही अधिकारीहरूलाई अम्मीएलका छोरा मकीरका घरबाट जोनाथनका छोरालाई ल्याउन लो-देबार पठाए।
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
6 जोनाथनका छोरा मपीबोशेत दाऊदका सामुने शिर झुकाएर दण्डवत गरे।दाऊदले भने, “मपीबोशेथ?”मपीबोशेतले भने, “ज्यू हजुर, मै हु, तपाईंको सेवक मपीबोशेत।”
Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
7 दाऊदले मपीबोशेतलाई भने, “डराउने काम छैन। म तिमीलाई दया गर्छु। तिम्रो पिताको कारणले म तिमीप्रति दयालु रहनेछु। तिम्रा बाजेका जति पनि जग्गा जमिन थियो म सबै तिमीलाई फिर्ता दिन्छु। तिमी सधै मसँगै टेबलमा बसेर खानेछौ।”
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
8 मपीबोशेतले फेरि केही झुकेर दाऊदलाई भने, “म मरेको कुकुर जत्ति पनि भइन तर पनि तपाईं यति दयालु बन्नु भयो।”
And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9 त्यसपछि राजा दाऊदले शाऊलका नोकर सीबालाई बोलाएर भने, “शाऊलका जे जति जेथा थिए ती सब मैले तिम्रो मालिकका नाति (मपीबोशेत)लाई दिएँ।
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 तिमीले मपीबोशेतको जमीनमा तिम्रो छोराहरू अनि नोकरहरूसित खेती गर्ने छौ अनि बाली काटूने छौ तब तिम्रा मालिकको नातिको लागि प्रचुर भोजन हुनेछ। तर तिम्रा मालिकका नातिले सधे मसित खाना खानेछन्।” सीबाका 15 छोरा र 20 जना नोकरहरू थिए।
Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 सीबाले राजा दाऊदलाई भने, “म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ, तपाईंले जे आदेश दिनु हुन्छ म गर्नेछु।”यसर्थ मपीबोशेत दाऊदका छोराले जस्तै दाऊदसँगै खाना खान थाले।
Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
12 मपीबोशेतका जवान छोराको नाउँ मीका थियो। सीबाका सबै परिवारका सदस्यहरू मपीबोशेतका सेवक बने।
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 मपीबोशेतका दुवै खुट्टा लङ्गडा थिए। मपीबोशेत यरूशलेममा बसे र प्रत्येक दिन राजासँगै खान थाले।
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
