मत्ती 2
1 यहूदिया भन्ने ठाउँको बेतलेहेम शहरमा येशूको जन्म भएको थियो। हेरोद राजा भएकोबेलामा उहाँको जन्म भएको थियो। जब येशूको जन्म भयो केही ज्योतिषीहरू पूर्वबाट यरूशलेममा आए।
2 ती ज्योतिषीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई यसोभनी सोधे, ‘यहूदीहरूका राजा भएर जन्मेका उहाँ कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ? हामीले उहाँको तारा पूर्वमा देख्यौं जसले उहाँ जन्मेको संकेत दिएको छ। हामिले पुर्वी आकाशमा तारा उदय हुँदै गरेको देख्यौ। हामी उहाँको आराधना गर्न आएका छौं।’
3 जब राजा हेरोदले यहुदीहरूका यी नयाँ राजाको बारेमा सुने। हेरोद यस घटनाबाट चिन्तित भए।यसकारण यरूशलेमका सबै बासिन्दाहरूलाई पनि यो समाचारले चिन्तित तुल्यायो।
4 हेरोदले सबै मुख्य यहूदी पूजाहारीहरू र जनताका शास्त्रीहरूको एउटा सभा बोलाए। उनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, ‘ख्रीष्टको जन्म कहाँ हुनेहो?’
5 तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, ‘यहुदीयाको बेतलेहेम शहरमा; अगमवक्तद्वारा यस विषयमा लेखिएको छ
6 ‘ए बेतलेहेम, यहूदाको मुलुक, तँ यहुदाका शासकहरूका माझ महान छस्। हो, तँबाट एकजना शासक आउनेछन् जो मेरो मानिस, इस्राएलको रखवाल गर्नेछन्।”‘
7 त्यसपछि हेरेदले पूर्वका ती ज्योतिषीहरूलाई गुप्तमा बोलाए। हेरोदले तिनीहरूबाट पहिलो पल्ट तारा देखा परेको समय ठिकसँग पत्ता लगाए।
8 त्यसपछि हेरोदले ती ज्योतिषीहरूलाई बेतलेहेममा पठाए। हेरोदले तिनीहरूलाई भने ‘जाऊ र बालकको बारेमा ठीकसँग पत्ता लगाओ। जब त्यो बालकलाई भेट्टाउनेछौ, तब मलाई खबर गर, र म पनि गएर तिनको आराधना गर्नेछु।’
9 राजाका सबै कुरा सुने र ज्योतिषीहरू गए। जुन-तारा तिनीहरूले पुर्वमा देखेका थिए, फेरि त्यही तारा तिनीहरूले देखे। ज्योतिषीहरूले तारालाई पछ्याउन थाले। त्यो तारा सानो बालक भएको ठाउँमा नपुगुञ्जेल तिनीहरूको अघि-अघि गयो र त्यही अडियो।
10 तारा देखेर ज्योतिषीहरू अत्यन्तै खुशी भए।
11 तिनीहरू बालक भएको घरभित्र गए। त्यहाँ सानो बालकलाई आफ्नो आमा मरियमसंग देखें। तिनीहरूले शिर झुकाएर बालकलाई दण्डवत र आराधाना गरे। बालकलाई ल्याइदिएका उपहारहरू तिनीहरूले खोले र उनलाई सुन, धूप र मूर्रका भेटी झुकाएर चढाए।
12 तर परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सपनामा चेताउनी दिनुभयो। परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई ‘हेरोदकहाँ फर्केर नजाऊ’ भनी चेताउनी दिनुभयो। त्यसपछि तिनीहरू अकै बाटो भएर आफ्ना निजदेशमा र्फकिए।
13 ज्योतिषीहरू गएपछि, परमप्रभुको एउटा दूत सपनामा यूसुफकहाँ देखा परे। दूतले भने, “उठ, साना बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई साथमा लिएर मिश्रदेशमा जाऊ। हेरोदले साना बालकहरूलाई खोज्न लागिरहेकोछ। उसले सानो बालकलाई मार्न चाहन्छ। मैले नभनेसम्म तिमी त्यहीं बस्नु।”
14 अनि यूसुफ उठेर सानो बालक र उनकी आमालाई साथमा लिएर त्यसै बखत मिश्रदेश तर्फ लागे। तिनीहरूले रातीनै घर छोडे।
15 हेरोदको मृत्यु नभएसम्म यूसुफ मिश्रदेशमा नै बसे अगमवक्ताद्वारा परमेश्वरले भन्नु भएको वचन यसरी पूरा भयो। परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “मैले आफ्नो पुत्रलाई मिश्र देशबाट बोलाएँ।”
16 ज्योतिषीहरूबाट हेरोदले धोका पाएको थाहा पाएपछि तिनी साह्रै रिसाए। अनि बेतलेहेम र त्यसका छेउछाउमा भेट्टाएका सबै स-साना बालकहरूलाई मार्ने आदेश दिए। ज्योतिषीहरूबाटै हेरोदले बालक जन्मेको समय पत्ता लगाएका थिए। त्यस बेलादेखि अहिलेसम्म दुइ र्वषको अवधि बितेको थियो। अनि हेरोदले दुइ र्वष र त्यसदेखि मुनिका सबै बालकहरूलाई मार्न लगाएका थिए।
17 तब र्यमिया अगमवक्ताद्वारा परमेश्वरले भन्नुभएको वचन सत्य भयो
18 “रामामा एउटा स्वर सुनियो, रूवाबासी र आलाप-विलापको, राहेलले आफ्ना बालकहरूको लगि विलाप गरिरहेकी थिइन; शान्त बन्न तिनले अस्वीकार गरिन् किनकि, तिनका बालकहरू अब जीवित थिएनन्।”
19 हेरोद मरेपछि, परमप्रभुका एकजना दूत यूसुफकहाँ सपनामा देखा परे। यो घटना त्यसबेला भयो जब यूसुफ मिश्रदेशमा नै थिए।
20 स्वर्गदूतले यसो भने, “उठ, साना बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर इस्राएल जाऊ। बालकलाई मार्न चाहने ती मानिस अहिले मरिसकेका छन्।”
21 त्यसपछि यूसुफ उठे, बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर इस्राएल तर्फ आए।
22 तर यूसुफले यहूदियामा त्यसबेला अर्खिलाउस राजा भएको कुरो सुने। आफ्ना बाबु हेरोदको मृत्युपछि अर्खिलाउस राजा भए। यसकारण यूसुफ त्यहाँ जान डराए। सपनामा पनि तिनलाई चेताउनी भयो। त्यसपछि तिनले त्यो ठाउँ छाडे अनि गालीलको इलाकामा गए।
23 यूसुफ नासरत भन्ने ठाउँमा पुगे र त्यही बस्न थाले। यसरी अगमनक्ताद्वारा बोलिएको वचन सत्य भयो। परमेश्वरले भन्नुभएको थियो कि “ख्रीष्टलाई नासरीभनिनेछ।”
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
2 Samuel 4 in Tamil and English
1 जब शाऊल के पुत्र ने सुना, कि अब्नेर हेब्रोन में मारा गया, तब उसके हाथ ढीले पड़ गए, और सब इस्राएली भी घबरा गए।
And when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 शाऊल के पुत्र के दो जन थे जो दलों के प्रधान थे; एक का नाम बाना, और दूसरे का नाम रेकाब था, ये दोनों बेरोतवासी बिन्यामीनी रिम्मोन के पुत्र थे, ( क्योंकि बेरोत भी बिन्यामीन के भाग में गिना जाता है;
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 और बेरोती लोग गितैम को भाग गए, और आज के दिन तक वहीं परदेशी हो कर रहते हैं।)
And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
4 शाऊल के पुत्र योनातन के एक लंगड़ा बेटा था। जब यिज्रेल से शाऊल और योनातन का समाचार आया तब वह पांच वर्ष का था; उस समय उसकी धाई उसे उठा कर भागी; और उसके उतावली से भागने के कारण वह गिर के लंगड़ा हो गया। और उसका नाम मपीबोशेत था।
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 उस बेरोती रिम्मोन के पुत्र रेकाब और बाना कड़े घाम के समय ईशबोशेत के घर में जब वह दोपहर को विश्राम कर रहा था आए।
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 और गेहूं ले जाने के बहाने मे घर में घुस गए; और उसके पेट में मारा; तब रेकाब और उसका भाई बाना भाग निकले।
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 जब वे घर में घुसे, और वह सोने की कोठरी में चारपाई पर सोता था, तब अन्होंने उसे मार डाला, और उसका सिर काट लिया, और उसका सिर ले कर रातोंरात अराबा के मार्ग से चले।
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 और वे ईशबोशेत का सिर हेब्रोन में दाऊद के पास ले जा कर राजा से कहने लगे, देख, शाऊल जो तेरा शत्रु और तेरे प्राणों का ग्राहक था, उसके पुत्र ईशबोशेत का यह सिर है; तो आज के दिन यहोवा ने शाऊल और उसके वंश से मेरे प्रभु राजा का पलटा लिया है।
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 दाऊद ने बेरोती रिम्मोन के पुत्र रेकाब और उसके भाई बाना को उत्तर देकर उन से कहा, यहोवा जो मेरे प्राण को सब विपत्तियों से छुड़ाता आया है, उसके जीवन की शपथ,
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 जब किसी ने यह जानकर, कि मैं शुभ समाचार देता हूं, सिकलग में मुझ को शाऊल के मरने का समाचार दिया, तब मैं ने उसको पकड़कर घात कराया; अर्थात उसको समाचार का यही बदला मिला।
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 फिर जब दुष्ट मनुष्यों ने एक निर्दोष मनुष्य को उसी के घर में, वरन उसकी चारपाई ही पर घात किया, तो मैं अब अवश्य ही उसके खून का पलटा तुम से लूंगा, और तुम्हें धरती पर से नष्ट कर डालूंगा।
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 तब दाऊद ने जवानों को आज्ञा दी, और उन्होंने उन को घात करके उनके हाथ पांव काट दिए, और उनकी लोथों को हेब्रोन के पोखरे के पास टांग दिया। तब ईशबोशेत के सिर को उठा कर हेब्रोन में अब्नेर की कब्र में गाड़ दिया।
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.
