1 Samuel 18 Modern English Version (MEV) Saul Fears David 18 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, so that Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2 And Saul took him that day and would not permit him to return home to his father’s house. 3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. 4 So Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, even his garments, his sword, his bow, and his belt. 5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he was successful. So Saul set him over the men of war, and it was pleasing in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of the servants of Saul. 6 When they came home, as David was returning from slaying the Philistine, the women came out from all cities of Israel to meet King Saul, singing and dancing, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments. 7 The dancing women sang and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” 8 Saul became very angry, and this saying was displeasing to him. Therefore he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what remains for him to have but the kingdom?” 9 So Saul was suspicious of David from that day and forward. 10 It came to pass the following day, that an evil spirit from God came upon Saul, so that he raved in the midst of the house. And David was playing the lyre, as at other times. Now there was a spear in Saul’s hand. 11 And Saul threw the spear. For he said, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David avoided him two times. 12 Saul was afraid of David because the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul. 13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence and placed him as his captain over a thousand. And he went out and came in before the people. 14 David was successful in all his ways and the Lord was with him. 15 When Saul saw that he was very successful, he was afraid of him. 16 Now all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them. David Marries Michal 17 Saul said to David, “Behold my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to you as your wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul said, “Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.” 18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I? And what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?” 19 So when it was time that Merab, daughter of Saul, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. 20 Now Michal, daughter of Saul, loved David and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 21 Saul said, “I will give her to him that she may be a snare to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David, “For a second time, you may be my son-in-law today.” 22 Saul commanded his servants, saying, “Speak to David in secret saying, ‘Listen, the king delights in you and all his servants love you. Now therefore become the king’s son-in-law.’ 23 So the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king’s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?” 24 And the servants of Saul reported to him saying, “According to these words, David spoke.” 25 Saul said, “Thus will you say to David, ‘The king does not desire any dowry but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’ ” But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Now the days had not expired; 27 therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins and they gave them in full to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife. 28 When Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, his daughter, loved him, 29 Saul was yet the more afraid of David, and Saul became the enemy of David continually. 30 Then the commanders of the Philistines went out to make war. And when they went out David was more successful than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly honored.

1 शमूएल 18Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) दाऊद र जोनाथनको घनिष्ट मित्रता 18 दाऊदले शाऊलसँग कुरा गरिसके पछि जोनाथन र दाऊदको बीचमा मित्रमा शुरू भयो। जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई त्यति नै प्रेम गर्थ्यो जति उसले आफूलाई गर्थ्यो। 2 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई त्यस दिनदेखि आफूसँगै राख्न थाल्यो। शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नो बाबुको घर जान दिएन 3 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई असाध्यै प्रेम गरको हुनाले उसले दाऊदसित एउटा विशेष सन्धि गर्यो। 4 आफूले लगारहेको कोट फुकालेर जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई दियो। जोनाथनले आफ्नो वर्दि, धनु, तरवार र पेटीसमेत दाऊदलाई दियो। दाऊदको सफलतामा शाऊलको ध्यान 5 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई अरू धेरै युद्धहरूमा पठाए। प्रत्येक युद्धमा दाऊदले नै सफलता पाए। त्यसपछि शाऊलले दाऊदलाई सैनिकहरूको जिम्मा दिए। यसो हुँदा सबै खुशी भए, यहाँ सम्म शाऊलका सबै अधिकारी पनि खुशी भए। 6 दाऊद पलिश्तीहरू विरूद्ध युद्ध लड्न जाने गर्थ्यो। युद्ध भूमिबाट घरतिर फर्कंदा दाऊदलाई इस्राएलको प्रत्येक शहरबाट स्त्रीहरू स्वागत जनाउन आउँथे। ती स्त्रीहरू नाँच्थे, गाउँथे, सितारा र ढोलक बजाउँथे। तिनीहरूले शाऊलकै छेउमा यसो गरे। 7 स्त्रीहरूले यसरी गाउँथे, “शाऊलले हजार शत्रुहरू मारे तर दाऊदले दश हजार मारे।” 8 ती स्त्रीहरूका गीतले शाऊललाई खिन्न बनाउँथ्यो र तिनी रिसाउँथे। शाऊलले सोचे, “ती स्त्रीहरूले भन्छन् दाऊदले दश हजार शत्रु मार्यो र मैले खालि हजार मात्र मारे।” 9 त्यसपछि शाऊलले दाऊदको गतिविधिलाई धेरै नजिकबाट ख्याल राख्न थाले। शाऊल दाऊदसँग भयभीत भए 10 अर्को दिन परमेश्वरले पठाउनु भएको दुष्ट आत्माले शाऊललाई पक्रियो। शाऊलले आफ्नै घरमा अगमवाणी गर्दै थिए। दाऊदले सधैँ झै वीणा बजाए। 11 तर शाऊलको हातमा भाला थियो। शाऊलले सोचे, “म दाऊदलाई भित्तैमा टँसाई दिन्छु।” शाऊलले दुइ पल्ट भाला हाने तर दाऊद दुवै चोटि तर्किए। 12 परमप्रभु दाऊदसित हुनुहुन्थ्यो अनि परमप्रभुले शाऊललाई त्याग्नु भएको थियो। यसकारण शाऊल दाऊद सँग भयभीत थिए। 13 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफू देखि पर गर्न चाहे र 1,000 सैनिकका सेनापति बनाइ दिए। दाऊदले आफ्नो सैनिकलाई युद्धमा अगुवाई गरे। 14 परमप्रभु दाऊदसित हुनुहुन्थ्यो यसकारण दाऊद प्रत्येक कुरामा सफल भए। 15 शाऊलले बुझे दाऊद सफल र योग्य थिए जसको कारण शाऊल दाऊदसित झन् ज्यादा भयभीत हुनथाले। 16 तर इस्राएल र यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरूले दाऊदलाई प्रेम गर्थे किनभने उसले तिनीहरूलाई युद्धमा डोह्राए अनि तिनीहरूको निम्ति युद्ध गरे। शाऊलले आफ्नी छोरीको विवाह दाऊदसँग गरिदिन चाहे 17 तर शाऊलले दाऊदलाई मार्नै चाहन्थे, शाऊलले दाऊदलाई एउटा जालमा पार्ने योजना सोचे। शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “म मेरी जेठी छोरी मेराबको विवाह तिमीसित गरिदिने छु। त्यस पछि तिमी एउटा शक्तिशाली सैनिक हुनेछौ। तिमी मेरो छोरा जस्तै छौ। त्यस पछि तिमीले परमप्रभुको युद्धहरूमा सैनिक भएर लड्ने छौ।” यो खालि धुर्त्याईँ मात्र थियो। शाऊलले साँच्चै सोच्दै थिए, “अब मैले दाऊदलाई मार्नु पर्दैन। म उसलाई मेरो निम्ति पलिश्तीहरूलाई मार्न लगाउँछु।” 18 तर दाऊदले भने, “म कुनै महत्वपूर्ण सन्तानबाटको अनि महत्वपूर्ण व्यक्ति होइन। म राजाकी छोरीलाई विवाह गर्न सक्दिनँ।” 19 जब शाऊलकी छोरी मेराबको विवाह दाऊदसँग गर्ने दिन आयो तब दाऊदले महोलका अद्रीएलसँग मेराबको विवाह गरिदिए। 20 शाऊलकी अर्की छोरी मीकलले दाऊदसँग प्रेम गर्थी। केही मानिसहरूले शाऊललाई मीकल र दाऊदको प्रेमको विषयमा सुनाए। यस खबरले शाऊल आनन्दीत भए। 21 शाऊलले सोचे, “म दाऊदलाई फसाउन मीकाललाई लगाउँनेछु। म दाऊदलाई मीकलसँग विवाह गर्न दिनेछु। त्यस पछि पलिश्तीहरूद्वारा उसलाई मार्नेछु।” यसर्थ शाऊलले दाऊदलाई दोस्रो पल्ट भने, “आज नै तिमीले मेरी छोरीसँग विवाह गर्न सक्छौ।” 22 शाऊलले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरूलाई आदेश दिएर भने, “दाऊदलाई एकान्त पारेर भन्नु, ‘हेर! राजाले तिमीलाई साह्रै मन पराउँनु हुन्छ। उहाँका अधिकारीहरूले पनि तिमीलाई मन पराउँछन्। तिमीले उहाँकी छोरीलाई विवाह गर्नु पर्छ।’” 23 शाऊलका अधिकारीहरूले दाऊदलाई त्यही भने। तर दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “के तपाईंहरू सोच्नुहुन्छ राजाको ज्वाइँ बन्न सजिलो छ? मेरो त्यत्ति धन छैन, जो म राजाकी छोरीलाई दिऊँ। म त एउटा साधारण गरीब मानिस मात्र हुँ।” 24 अधिकारीहरूले राजालाई दाऊदको सबै कुरा बताइदिए। 25 शाऊलले फेरि भने, “दाऊदलाई भन, ‘दाऊद, राजाले उसका छोरीका निम्ति तिमीबाट दुलहीको दाम लिन चाहनु हुन्न, तर राजा आफ्ना शत्रुहरूसित बद्ला लिन चाहनुहुन्छ। यसर्थ राजाले रूपियाँको सट्टा एक सय पलिश्तीहरूका खलड्डी मात्र तिमीसँग माग्नुहुन्छ।’” यो शाऊलको धुर्त षड्यन्त्र थियो। शाऊलले सोच्थे पलिश्तीहरूले दाऊदलाई मार्ने छन् भनेर। 26 अधिकारीहरूले दाऊदलाई सबै कुरो बताए। दाऊद खुशी भए। राजाको ज्वाइँ हुने यो राम्रो अवसरलाई छोपेर दाऊदले त्यो कार्य गरे। 27 दाऊद र अरू मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न हिँडे। तिनीहरूले 200 पलिश्तीहरूलाई मारे। दाऊदले पलिश्तीहरूका खलड्डी शाऊल कहाँ पुर्याए। राजाका ज्वाइँ हुनलाई दाऊदले यस्तो गरे। शाऊलले मीकलको विवाह दाऊदसँग गराए। 28 शाऊलले बुझे कि परमप्रभु दाऊदसँग हुनुहुन्छ। शाऊलले यो पनि बुझे, छोरी मीकलले दाऊदलाई प्रेम गर्थिन। 29 यसर्थ शाऊल झन्-झन् दाऊदसँग डराउन थाले। शाऊल सधैँ दाऊदको विरोधी भए। 30 पलिश्ती सेनापतिले बारबार इस्राएलीहरू माथि लडाईं गर्थे। तर प्रत्येक पल्ट नै दाऊदले तिनीहरूलाई हराइदिन्थे। दाऊद शाऊलका अधिकारीहरू मध्ये सबैभन्दा सफल अधिकारी थिए यसैले दाऊद प्रसिद्ध भए।
