Psalm 18
1 ਨਿਰਦੇਸ਼ਕ ਲਈ: ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਸੇਵਕ ਦਾਊਦ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਗੀਤ। ਇਹ ਗੀਤ ਦਾਊਦ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਲਿਖਿਆ, ਜਦੋਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਸ਼ਾਊਲ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਹੋਰ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਉਸਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕੀਤੀ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਮੇਰੀ ਤਾਕਤ, ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ।”
2 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਚੱਟਾਨ, ਮੇਰਾ ਗੜ੍ਹ, ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਅਤ ਸਥਾਨ ਹੈ। ਮੇਰਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਮੇਰੀ ਚੱਟਾਨ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਲਈ ਉਸ ਵੱਲ ਨੱਸਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਹੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਢਾਲ ਹੈ, ਉਸਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਉੱਚੇ ਪਰਬਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਛੁਪਨਗਾਹ ਹੈ।
3 ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਜ਼ਾਕ ਉਡਾਇਆ। ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਲਈ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਅਵਾਜ਼ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਪਾਸੋਂ ਬਚਾ ਲਿਆ।
4 ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਮਾਰਨ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਸਨ। ਮੇਰੇ ਆਲੇ-ਦੁਆਲੇ ਮੌਤ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਿਕੰਜੇ ਸਨ। ਮੈਂ ਉਸ ਹੜ੍ਹ ਅੰਦਰ ਰੁੜ੍ਹ ਚੱਲਿਆ ਸਾਂ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਮ੍ਰਿਤੂ ਲੋਕ ਵੱਲ ਲਿਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ।
5 ਕਬਰ ਦੇ ਰੱਸੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਘੇਰੀ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ, ਮੌਤ ਦੇ ਜਾਲ ਮੇਰੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਿਛੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ।
6 ਇੱਥੋਂ ਤੀਕ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਘੇਰਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਸਾਂ, ਫ਼ੇਰ ਮੈਂ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਕੀਤੀ। ਹਾਂ, ਹਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੂੰ ਚੀਕਿਆ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਮੰਦਰ ਅੰਦਰ ਸੀ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਚੀਕ ਸੁਣੀ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਮਦਦ ਲਈ ਮੇਰੀ ਅਵਾਜ਼ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣਿਆ।
7 ਧਰਤੀ ਹਿਲੀ ਅਤੇ ਕੰਬੀ; ਸਵਰਗ ਦੇ ਥਮਲੇ ਵੀ ਹਿੱਲ ਗਏ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਗੁੱਸੇ ਸੀ।
8 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਨੱਕ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਧੂਆਂ ਨਿਕਲਿਆ। ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਮੁੱਖ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਬਲਦੀਆਂ ਲਾਟਾਂ ਨਿਕਲੀਆਂ, ਉਸ ਪਾਸੋਂ ਬਲਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਚੰਗਿਆੜੇ ਉੱਡੇ।
9 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਪਾੜ ਸੁੱਟਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਹੇਠਾ ਆਇਆ। ਉਹ ਗਹਿਰੇ ਕਾਲੇ ਬੱਦਲ ਉੱਤੇ ਖਲੋਤਾ ਸੀ।
10 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਉੱਡ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ। ਉਹ ਤੇਜ਼ ਦੇ ਕਰੂਬੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਸਵਾਰ ਉੱਡ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ। ਉਹ ਉੱਚੀਆਂ ਹਵਾਵਾਂ ਉੱਤੋਂ ਦੀ ਉੱਡ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ।
11 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਹਨੇਰੇ ਬੱਦਲਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਛੁਪਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ, ਜਿਹੜੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਤੰਬੂਆਂ ਵਾਂਗ ਘੇਰੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ। ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਬੱਦਲਾਂ ਅੰਦਰ ਛੁਪਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ।
12 ਫ਼ੇਰ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਚਮਕਦੀ ਰੌਸ਼ਨੀ ਬੱਦਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਾੜਦੀ ਹੋਈ ਬਾਹਰ ਨਿੱਕਲੀ। ਇਸਨੇ ਗੜ੍ਹੇਮਾਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਬਿਜਲੀ ਲਸ਼ਕਾਈ।
13 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਗਰਜਿਆ। ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਉੱਚੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਅਵਾਜ਼ ਸੁਣਾਈ। ਇੱਥੋਂ ਤੱਕ ਕਿ ਗੜ੍ਹੇਮਾਰ ਹੋਈ ਅਤੇ ਬਿਜਲੀ ਲਿਸ਼ਕ ਉੱਠੀ।
14 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਤੀਰ ਛੱਡੇ ਅਤੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਭਜਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਬਿਜਲੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਅਨੇਕਾਂ ਕਿਰਣਾਂ ਫ਼ੈਲਾਈਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਲੋਕ ਘਬਰਾਹਟ ਵਿੱਚ ਭੱਜ ਗਏ।
15 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਜਦੋਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉੱਚੀ ਅਵਾਜ਼ ਨਾਲ ਹੁਕਮ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਪਾਣੀ ਪਿੱਛਾਹਾਂ ਧੱਕਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਅਸੀਂ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਦਾ ਤਲਾ ਵੇਖ ਸੱਕਦੇ ਸਾਂ। ਅਸੀਂ ਧਰਤੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਬੁਨਿਆਦਾਂ ਵੀ ਦੇਖ ਸੱਕਦੇ ਸਾਂ।
16 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਉਚਾਈ ’ਚੋਂ ਹੇਠਾ ਆਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਚਾ ਲਿਆ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਫ਼ੜ ਲਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਡੂੰਘੇ ਪਾਣੀ (ਮੁਸੀਬਤ) ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਵੱਲ ਖਿੱਚਿਆ।
17 ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਸਨ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਨਫ਼ਰਤ ਕੀਤੀ। ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਵੱਧੇਰੇ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਸਨ। ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਚਾ ਲਿਆ।
18 ਮੈਂ ਵੱਡੇ ਸੰਕਟ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਾਂ, ਤੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਮੇਰਿਆਂ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਹਮਲਾ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ। ਪਰ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਦਦ ਲਈ ਆਇਆ।
19 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਇਆ। ਉਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਅਤ ਸਥਾਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਲੈ ਗਿਆ।
20 ਮੈਂ ਬੇਗੁਨਾਹ ਹਾਂ, ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇਨਾਮ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ। ਮੈਂ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਬਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤੀ ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਉਹ ਮੇਰਾ ਭਲਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
21 ਕਿਉਂ? ਕਿਉਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਆਦੇਸ਼ ਮੰਨੇ। ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਖਿਲਾਫ਼ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਅਪਰਾਧ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ।
22 ਮੈਂ ਸਦਾ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਫ਼ੈਸਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਚੇਤੇ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਮੈਂ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਅਸੂਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੰਨਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦਾ ਆਚਰਣ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
23 ਮੈਂ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਨਮਿੱਤ ਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਤੇ ਇਮਾਨਦਾਰ ਸਾਂ, ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਮੰਦੇ ਕਾਰਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਦੂਰ ਰੱਖਿਆ।
24 ਇਸੇ ਲਈ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇਨਾਮ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ। ਕਿਉ? ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਬੇਕਸੂਰ ਹਾਂ। ਜਿਵੇਂ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਦਾ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਕੋਈ ਗਲਤ ਕੰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਉਹ ਮੇਰਾ ਭਲਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
25 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਤੂੰ ਵੀ ਉਸ ਉੱਪਰ ਆਪਣਾ ਸੱਚਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਛਿੜਕ। ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਤੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਸੱਚਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਤੂੰ ਵੀ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਸੱਚਾ ਹੋਵੇਂਗਾ।
26 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਲਈ ਸ਼ੁਭ ਤੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਹੋ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਸ਼ੁਭ ਤੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਹਨ। ਪਰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਮੀਨੇ ਅਤੇ ਮੀਸਣੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਲਈ ਵੱਧੇਰੇ ਚਤੁਰ ਬਣ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹੋਂ।
27 ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਦਦ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈਂ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਨਿਮ੍ਰ ਹਨ। ਪਰ ਤੂੰ ਗੁਮਾਨੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਵਾਉਦਾ ਹੈਂ।
28 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਰਾ ਦੀਵਾ ਰੌਸ਼ਨ ਕਰੋ। ਮੇਰਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਮੇਰੇ ਚਾਰ-ਚੁਫ਼ੇਰੇ ਫ਼ੈਲੇ ਅੰਧਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਰੌਸ਼ਨ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।
29 ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੇਰੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਨਾਲ, ਮੈਂ ਫ਼ੌਜੀਆਂ ਸੰਗ ਭੱਜ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਨਾਲ ਮੈਂ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੰਧਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਚੜ੍ਹ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
30 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਪੂਰਨ ਹੈ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਪਰੱਖਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਉਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਸਥਾ ਰੱਖਦੇ ਹਨ।
31 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ ਕੋਈ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਸਾਡੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ ਕੋਈ ਚੱਟਾਨ ਨਹੀਂ।
32 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਤਾਕਤ ਬਖਸ਼ਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਜੀਵਨ ਜਿਉਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਹਾਰਾ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ।
33 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਹਿਰਨ ਵਾਂਗ ਤਿਖਾ ਦੌੜਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਦਦ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉੱਚੀਆਂ ਥਾਵਾਂ ਤੇ ਸਥਿਰ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ।
34 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਜੰਗ ਦੀ ਸਿਖਲਾਈ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਬਾਹਾਂ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਧਨੁਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਝੁਕਾ ਸੱਕਣ।
35 ਹੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਤੁਸਾਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਇਆ ਤੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਜਿੱਤਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਦਦ ਕੀਤੀ। ਤੁਸਾਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਸੱਜੀ ਬਾਂਹ ਦਾ ਸਹਾਰਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਤੁਸਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਨੂੰ ਹਰਾਉਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਦਦ ਕੀਤੀ।
36 ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਲੱਤਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਗਿੱਟਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਬਣਾ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਠੋਕਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ ਤੇਜ ਤੁਰ ਸੱਕਾਂ।
37 ਫ਼ੇਰ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਦਾ ਪਿੱਛਾ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਾਂਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਫ਼ੜ ਸੱਕਾਂਗਾ। ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਬਾਹ ਕੀਤੇ ਬਿਨਾ ਵਾਪਸ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੁੜਾਂਗਾ।
38 ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਹਰਾ ਦਿਆਂਗਾ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਉਹ ਦੁਬਾਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਉੱਠ ਸੱਕਣਗੇ। ਮੇਰੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਹੇਠ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ।
39 ਹੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਯੁੱਧ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਬਣਾਇਆ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਡੇਗਿਆ।
40 ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਦੀ ਗਿੱਚੀ ਤੇ ਵਾਰ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਮੌਕਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਅਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਥੱਲੇ ਵੱਢ ਸੁੱਟਿਆ।
41 ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਮਦਦ ਲਈ ਪੁਕਾਰਿਆ ਸੀ, ਪਰ ਕੋਈ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾ ਸੱਕੇ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਪੁਕਾਰਿਆ ਸੀ, ਪਰ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਪੁਕਾਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੁਣੀ ਸੀ।
42 ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਦੇ ਟੁਕੜੇ ਕੀਤੇ। ਉਹ ਉਸ ਖਾਕ ਵਾਂਗ ਸਨ, ਜਿਹੜੀ ਹਵਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਉੱਡਦੀ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਟੋਟੇ-ਟੋਟੇ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ।
43 ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਬਚਾਉ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਵਿਰੁੱਧ ਲੜਦੇ ਹਨ। ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਦਾ ਆਗੂ ਬਣਾ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਂ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੇਰੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਨ ਦੇ।
44 ਉਹ ਲੋਕ ਮੇਰੇ ਬਾਰੇ ਸੁਣਨਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਫ਼ੌਰਨ ਮੇਰਾ ਹੁਕਮ ਮੰਨਣਗੇ। ਉਹ ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਪਾਸੋਂ ਡਰਨਗੇ।
45 ਉਹ ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ੀ ਡਰ ਨਾਲ ਕੰਬਣਗੇ। ਉਹ ਡਰ ਨਾਲ ਕੰਬੰਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਛੁਪਣਗਾਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਨਿਕਲ ਆਉਣਗੇ।
46 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਜਿਉਂਦਾ ਜਾਗਦਾ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਓਟ ਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਮਹਾਨ ਹੈ।
47 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੰਡ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਅਧੀਨ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ।
48 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਮੇਰੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕੀਤੀ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਹਰਾਉਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਦਦ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਖਿਲਾਫ਼ ਆ ਖਲੋਏ ਸਨ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਜ਼ਾਲਮ ਆਦਮੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਬਚਾਇਆ।
49 ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਦੇ ਦਰਮਿਆਨ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਲਈ, ਗੀਤ ਗਾਉਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
50 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਕਈ ਯੁੱਧ ਜਿੱਤਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਪਣੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੀ ਮਦਦ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਉਸਦਾ ਸੱਚਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਚੁਣੇ ਹੋਏ ਰਾਜੇ ਲਈ ਦਰਸਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਦਾਊਦ ਲਈ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਅੰਸ਼ ਲਈ ਸਦਾ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,
2 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
3 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
4 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
12 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
13 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
14 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
15 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
16 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
17 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
24 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
28 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
29 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
30 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
32 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?
33 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
35 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
39 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
44 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
45 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
46 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
47 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
48 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
49 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
51 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
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.
