1 Samuel 17Lexham English Bible (LEB) The Philistine Champion Taunts Israel 17 The Philistines gathered their camps for battle and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah. They camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes Dammim. 2 Then Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and encamped in the valley of Elah, and they formed ranks for the battle to meet the Philistines. 3 The Philistines were standing on the hill on one side and the army of Israel was standing on the hill on the other side with the valley between them. 4 Then a champion went out from the camps of the Philistines, whose name was Goliath from Gath. His height was six cubits and a span. 5 A bronze helmet was on his head, and he was clothed with scale body armor; the weight of the body armor was five thousand bronze shekels. 6 Bronze greaves were on his legs, and a bronze javelin was slung between his shoulders. 7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam and the point of his spear weighed six hundred iron shekels. His shield bearer was walking in front of him. 8 He stood and called to the battle lines of Israel and said to them, “Why have you come out to form ranks for battle? Am I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Commission for yourselves a man and let him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight with me and he defeats me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail over him and defeat him, then you will be our servants and you will serve us.” 10 Then the Philistine said, “I hereby defy the battle lines of Israel today! Give me a man so that we may fight each other!” 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and very afraid. David Enters the Scene of Battle 12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite. This man was from Bethlehem of Judah, and his name was Jesse. He had eight sons; in the days of Saul this man was old, yet he still walked among the men. 13 The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, his second oldest was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah. 14 Now David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul, 15 but David went back and forth from Saul to feed the sheep of his father in Bethlehem. 16 Now the Philistine came forward early and late, and he took his stand for forty days. 17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Please take for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread, and bring them quickly to the camp for your brothers. 18 And these ten portions of cheese you will bring to the commander of the thousand; find out how your brothers are doing, and take their pledge.” 19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah fighting the Philistines. 20 David rose early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and he took the provisions and went as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the encampment while the troops were going to the battle line, and they raised the war cry. 21 Israel and the Philistines drew up in battle lines, one battle line against the other. 22 David left the baggage he had with him in the care of the baggage keeper, ran to the battle line, and came and asked how his brothers were doing. 23 While he was speaking to them, the champion, whose name was Goliath the Philistine from Gath, was coming up from the caves of the Philistines. He spoke just as he had previously, and David heard his words. 24 When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from his presence and were very afraid. 25 And the men of Israel said, “Did you see this man who has come up? For he is going up to defy Israel! It will be that the man who defeats him, the king will make him very rich with great wealth and will give him his daughter in marriage and will make his father’s house free in Israel.” 26 Now David had spoken to the men who were standing with him, saying, “What will be done for the man who defeats this Philistine and removes the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he defies the battle lines of the living God?” 27 And the troops had spoken to him according to this word, saying, “So it will be done for the man who defeats him.” 28 His oldest brother Eliab heard while he was speaking to the men, and Eliab became very angry against David and said, “Why have you come down today, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumptuousness and the evil of your heart! For you have come down in order to see the battle!” 29 David replied, “What have I done now? I merely asked a question! 30 He turned around from him to another opposite him and he spoke to him in the same way, and the people answered him as before. David Appears before Saul 31 Now the words which David had spoken were heard and they reported them to Saul, and he summoned him. 32 David said to Saul, “Do not let anyone’s heart fail concerning him! Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 33 But Saul said to David, “You will not be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, because you are only a boy, whereas he has been a man of war since his childhood!” 34 And David said to Saul, “Your servant has been a shepherd of the flock for his father. If the lion or the bear would come and carry off a sheep from the group, 35 I would go out after it and strike it down and rescue the sheep from its mouth. If it rose against me, I would grab it by its beard and strike it down and kill it. 36 Your servant has struck down both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he defied the battle lines of the living God.” 37 And David said, “Yahweh, who rescued me from the hand of the lion and from the hand of the bear, will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “Go and may Yahweh be with you!” 38 Then Saul clothed David with his own fighting attire and put a helmet of bronze on his head and clothed him with body armor. 39 Then David strapped on his sword over his fighting attire, but he tried in vain to walk around, for he was not trained to use them. So David said to Saul, “I am not able to walk with these, because I am not trained to use them.” So David removed them. 40 Then he took his staff in his hand, picked out for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and he put them in his shepherd’s bag, in the pouch. And with his sling in his hand, he approached the Philistine. 41 Then the Philistine came on, getting nearer and nearer to David, with his shield bearer in front of him. 42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was only a boy and ruddy with a handsome appearance. 43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you are coming to me with sticks?” Then the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me so that I can give your flesh to the birds of heaven and to the wild animals of the field!” 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I am coming to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the battle lines of Israel, whom you have defied! 46 This day Yahweh will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head! Then I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of heaven and to the animals of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God who is for Israel. 47 And all of this assembly will know that Yahweh does not rescue with sword or with spear, for the battle belongs to Yahweh, and he will give you into our hands!” David Defeats Goliath 48 When the Philistine got up and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly to the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand into the bag and took a stone from it and slung it. He struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone, and he struck down the Philistine and killed him, but there was no sword in David’s hand. 51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it from its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 52 The men of Israel and Judah got up, raised the war cry, and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley and up to the gates of Ekron. So the slain of the Philistines fell on the way to Shaaraim up to Gath and as far as Ekron. 53 Then the Israelites returned from pursuing the Philistines and plundered their camp. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem and placed his weapons in his tent. 55 Now when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Whose son is this young man, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.” 56 Then the king said, “You inquire whose son this young man is.” 57 So when David returned from striking down the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul. The head of the Philistine was in his hand. 58 Then Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

1 शमूएल 17Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) गोल्यतको इस्राएली माथि चुनौती 17 पलिश्तीहरूले आफ्ना सैनिकहरूलाई युद्धको निम्ति भेला गराए। तिनीहरू यहूदा स्थित सोकोहमा भेला भए। तिनीहरूको छाउनी सोकोह र अजेकाको बीचमा एपेसदम्मीम नाउँका शहरमा थियो। 2 शाऊल र इस्राएली सैनिकहरू पनि एक ठाउँमा भेला भए। तिनीहरूको छाउनी एला बेंसीमा थियो। शाऊलका सैनिकहरूले पंक्ति बाँधे पलिश्तीहरूसित युद्ध गर्न तयार थिए। 3 पलिश्तीहरू एउटा पहाड माथि थिए, र इस्राएलीहरू अर्को पहाड माथि थिए। दुवै पक्षका बीचमा बेंसी थियो। 4 पलिश्तीहरूको गोल्यात नाउँ भएको एउटा वीर योद्धा थियो। गोल्यात गात निवासी थियो। गोल्यात झण्डै नौ फीट अग्लो थियो। गोल्यत पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीबाट बाहिरियो। 5 शिरमा काँसाको टोपी लगाएको थियो। शरीरमा माछाको कत्ला जस्तै कवच कोट लगाएको थियो। त्यो रक्षा कवच काँसाको नै थियो यसको ओजन 5,000 शेकेलको थियो। 6 गोल्यतले खुट्टातिर पनि काँसाकै कवच लगाएको थियो। काँसाकै भाला पिठ्यूँमा बोकेको। 7 भालाको लट्टी जुलाहाको लुगा बुन्ने डण्डा जत्रो थियो। भालाको ओजन 600 शेकेलको थियो। गोल्यतको हात-हतियार बोक्ने तिनको अघि-अघि हिँड्थ्यो। 8 प्रत्येक दिन गोल्यत बाहिर निस्कन्थ्यो र इस्राएली सैनिकहरूलाई चुनौती दिन्थ्यो। उसको चुनौति थियो, “किन तिमीहरूले युद्धको निम्ति पंक्ति कसेको? तिमीहरू शाऊलका नोकर हौ म त पलिश्ती हुँ। एउटा मानिस छानेर मेरो विरूद्धमा लडनलाई पठाऊ। 9 यदि त्यस मानिसले मलाई मार्यो भने तब हामी सबै पलिश्तीहरू तिमीहरूका दास बन्नेछौ। तर यदि मैले त्यस मानिसलाई मारे भने मैले जितेको हुनेछ र तिमीहरू हाम्रो दास हुनेछौ। तिमीहरूले हाम्रा सेवा गर्नुपर्छ।” 10 पलिश्तीले यसो पनि भन्यो, “आज म इस्राएली सेनाहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्छु। एउटा मानिस पठाइदेऊ ताकि म त्यससित लड्न सकुँ।” 11 शाऊल र इस्राएली सैनिकहरूले पलिश्तीले भनेको यी सब सुन्थे र साह्रै डराउँथे। दाऊद रणभूमिमा जान्छन् 12 दाऊद यिशैका छोरा थिए। यिशै इफ्रातीका छोरा थिए जो बेतलेहेमको, यहूदाका थिए। यिशैका आठजना छोराहरू थिए। शाऊलका समयमा यिशै बूढा भइसकेका थिए। 13 यिशैका जेठा, माहिला र साहिंला छोराहरू शाऊलसित रणभूमिमा गएका थिए। जेठा छोराको नाउँ एलीआब थियो। माहिला छोराको नाउँ अबीनादाब र साँहिला छोराको नाउँ शम्मा थियो। 14 दाऊद चाहिं कान्छो छोरा थिए। जेठा, माहिला र साँहिला चाहिं शाऊलको सेनामा थिए। 15 कान्छा छोरा दाऊद शाऊलको छाउनी र बेतलेहेममा आफ्ना पिताका भेंडाहरू हेरचाह गर्न आउने जानेगर्थे। 16 त्यो पलिश्ती गोल्यत प्रत्येक दिन बिहानै बेलुकी इस्राएलीहरूका छाउनीमा आएर ठट्टा गर्थ्यो। 40 दिनसम्म त्यसले सधैँ त्यस्तै गर्यो। 17 एक दिन यिशैले दाऊदलाई भने, “यस फुर्लुङमा चार पाथी (एक एपा) चिउरा र दशवटा रोटी छन् तिम्रा दाज्यूहरूलाई छाउनीमा लगि देऊ। 18 यो 10 टुक्रा पनीर पनि लिए जाऊ। तिम्रा दाज्यूहरूको 1,000 सेनाको समूहलाई आदेश गर्ने अधिकारीलाई देऊ। दाज्यूहरूले के गर्दै छन् हेर। दाज्यूहरू ठीक-ठाक नै छन् भन्ने प्रमाण पनि लिएर आउनु। 19 तिम्रो दाज्यूहरू र सबै इस्राएली सैनिकहरू शाऊलसित एला बेंसीमा छन्। तिनीहरू त्यहाँ पलिश्तीहरूसँग लड्दैछन्।” 20 बिहानै दाऊदले अर्को एउटा गोठालोलाई भेंडाहरू जिम्मा लगायो। दाऊदले भोजन लियो र यिशैले भने अनुसार हिंड्यो। दाऊदले गाडा सोझै छाउनीमा लिएर गयो। सैनिकहरू युद्ध पंक्तिमा गएका थिए अनि युद्ध गर्न लागे झैं हल्ला गरिरहेका थिए। 21 इस्राएली र पलिश्ती दुवैतिरका सैनिकहरू युद्ध गर्न तयार रहे। 22 दाऊदले भोजन र सामानहरू भण्डारेको हातमा सुम्पियो र इस्राएली सैनिकहरू भए तिर अगाडिको पंक्तिमा दगुर्यो अनि आफ्नो दाजूहरूको विषयमा सोध्यो। 23 जस्तो दाऊदले आफ्ना दाज्यूहरूसँग कुरा गरेको बेला त्यो श्रेष्ठ योद्धा पलिश्ती गोल्यत पलिश्ती सैनिकबाट निस्केर आयो। गोल्यतले सधैँ झैं इस्राएलीलाई गाली दिन थाल्यो। दाऊदले पनि गोल्यातले भनेको कुरा सुन्यो। 24 इस्राएली सैनिकहरू त गोल्यतलाई देखे पछि भाग्न थाले। सबै नै भयभित थिए। 25 एकजना इस्राएलीले भने, “त्यसलाई देख्यौ त्यसले के गरिरहेछ राम्ररी हेर? त्यो गोल्यत घरि-घरि आएर इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसरी नै गाली गर्छ। जसले यसलाई मार्छ त्यो धेरै धनी हुनेछ। राजा शाऊलले धेरै सम्पत्ति दिनुहुनेछ। शाऊलले उसकी छोरी पनि विवाह गर्न दिनेछन् जसले त्यसलाई मार्न सक्छ। शाऊलले उसको परिवारलाई इस्राएलमा स्वतन्त्र बनाउनेछन्।” 26 दाऊदले छेवैका मानिसलाई सोध्यो, “त्यसले के भन्यो? यदि कसैले यो पलिश्तीलाई मार्छ अनि इस्राएलको इज्जत बचाउँछ भने एउटा विदेशी मात्र त हो, उसले के इनाम पाउनेछ? यो गोल्यत के हो र? गोल्यत एकजना पलिश्ती भन्दा बढी केही होइन। त्यसले यो के सोचिरहेछ? उसले जीवित परमेश्वरका सैनिकहरूलाई धम्काउन सक्छ।” 27 यसैले इस्राएलीहरूले गोल्यतलाई मार्नेको इनामबारे दाऊदलाई बताउँछन्। 28 दाऊदका जेठा दाज्यू एलीआबले दाऊद सैनिकहरूसित बात गर्दै गरेको सुने। एलीआब दाऊदसँग रिसाउँछ। एलीआबले दाऊदलाई भग्ने, “तँ यहाँ किन आइस्? भेंडाहरू मरुभूमिमा कसलाई छोडेर आइस्? तँ यहाँ आउनुको कारण मैले जाने। तँलाई जे गर्न पठाइएको हो त्यो गर्न तँ चाहँदैनस्। तँ यहाँ खालि युद्ध हेर्नलाई मात्र आउन चाहन्थिस्।” 29 दाऊदले भन्यो, “मैले त्यस्तो के गरें र? मैले कुनै नराम्रो काम गरिनँ म खालि कुरा गर्दै थिएँ।” 30 दाऊद चारैतिर दौडिएर अरू सेनाहरूसित त्यही प्रश्नहरू सोध्न थाल्यो। तिनीहरूले पनि दाऊदलाई त्यही पहिले कै जस्तो उत्तर दिए। 31 केही मानिसहरूले दाऊदलाई कुरा गर्दै गरेको सुने। तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई शाऊल कहाँ पुर्याएर दाऊदले गरेको कुरा सबैलाई सुनाए। 32 दाऊदले शाऊललाई भन्यो, “त्यस पलिश्ती गोल्यतको कारण तपाईं हतास नहुनुहोस्। म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ। त्यस पलिश्तीसँग म लड्ने छु।” 33 शाऊलले भने, “तिमी गएर त्यस पलिश्तीसँग लड्न सक्ने छैनौ। तिमी सैनिक पनि त होइनौ। तिमी सानै छौ तर गोल्यत सानै देखि युद्धभूमिमा लड्दै आएको हो।” 34 तर दाऊदले शाऊललाई फेरि भन्यो, “म, तपाईंको सेवक हुँ र मेरो पिताको भेंडा पनि चराउने गर्छु। भेंडाका बथानबाट सिंह र भालू आएर भेंडा लैजान्थे। 35 म त्यस्ता जंगली पशुहरूलाई खेद्दै जान्थे र तिनीहरूका मुखबाट भेंडा खोसेर ल्याउँथे। यदि जंगली जन्तुले मलाई आक्रमण गरे त्यसको मुख मुनिको भुत्ला समात्थें र त्यसलाई हिर्काउथें। 36 मैले सिंह र भालू मारेको छु। म त्यस विदेशी गोल्यतलाई त्यसरी नै मार्नेछु। गोल्यत मर्नु नै पर्छ किनकि त्यसले जीवित परमेश्वरका सेनाहरूको ठट्टा गरेको छ। 37 परमप्रभुले मलाई सिंह र भालूहरूबाट बचाउनु भएको छ। परमप्रभुले यी पलिश्ती गोल्यतबाट पनि बचाउनु हुनेछ।” शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “ठीक छ जाऊ? परमप्रभु तिम्रो साथमा रहुन्।” 38 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नै पोशाक पहिराइ दिए। शाऊलले काँसाको टोपी दाऊदको शिरमा अनि आफ्नो हातहतियर शरीरमा लगाइ दिए। 39 दाऊदले तरवार भिरेर यताउता हिँड्ने चेष्टा गर्यो। यसरी शाऊलको पोशाकले दाऊदलाई साह्रै असजिलो बनायो। यस्तो पोशाकको अभ्यास दाऊदलाई थिएन। दाऊदले शाऊललाई भन्यो, “म यसरी लड्न सक्दिनँ मैले तिनीहरूको प्रयोग गरेको छैन।” यसर्थ दाऊदले सबै फूकाले। 40 दाऊदले हातमा एउटा टेक्ने लौरो लियो र खोलाबाट चिल्लो पाँचवटा ढुङ्गा टिप्यो। गोठालाको झोलाभित्रको थैलीमा उक्त पाँचवटा ढुङ्गा हाल्यो र घुँयेत्रो हातमा बोक्यो। त्यसपछि त्यो पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई हाँक दिन बढ्यो। दाऊदले गोल्यतलाई मार्छन् 41 पलिश्ती गोल्यत विस्तारै दाऊदकहाँ आयो। गोल्यतको सहायक अघि-अघि ढाल बोकेर हिंड्दै थियो। 42 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई हेर्यो र हाँस्यो। गोल्यतले सोच्यो यो सैनिक होइन, खालि सुन्दर र रातोवर्णको केटो हो। 43 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “यो लौरो केको निम्ति हो? कुकुरलाई जस्तै मलाई खेद्न चाहन्छौ?” अनि गोल्यतले आफ्ना देवताहरूको नाउँ उच्चारण गरेर दाऊदलाई सराप्न थाल्यो। 44 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “यता आइज, म तेरो मासु चराहरू र जंगली जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउँनेछु।” 45 दाऊदले पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई भन्यो, “तँ मकहाँ तरवार, बर्छा र भाला प्रयोग गर्न आइस्। तर म तँ कहाँ इस्राएलका सेनाहरूका परमेश्वर सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभुका नाउँ मात्र लिएर आएको छु। तैंले उहाँको विरूद्धमा नराम्रो वचन बोलीस्। 46 आज परमप्रभुले मलाई तँमाथि विजय दिलाउनु हुन्छ! म तँलाई मार्छु। आज तेरो टाउको काटेर चरा र जंगली जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउँछु। हामी अन्य पलिश्तीहरूलाई पनि यसै गर्छौं। त्यसपछि संसारले नै बुझ्नेछ इस्राएलमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भनेर। 47 यहाँ जम्मा भएका सबै मानिसहरूले बुझ्ने छन् कि परमप्रभुलाई आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई बचाउँनका निम्ति तरवार र भाला चांहिदैन भनेर। युद्ध परमप्रभुको हो अनि तिमी पलिश्तीहरूलाई हराउनमा परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ।” 48 पलिश्ती गोल्यत दाऊदलाई आक्रमण गर्न सुरियो। र बिस्तारै दाऊद अघि बढ्न थाल्यो। त्यत्ति नै बेला दाऊद दौडिएर लड्न चाँडै अघि सर्यो। 49 दाऊदले आफ्नो झोलाबाट एउटा ढुङ्गा निकाल्यो र घुँयेत्रोमा राखेर मच्चायो। घुँयेत्रोको ढुङ्गा गएर गोल्यतको आँखा बिच निधारमा लाग्यो। गोल्यत घोप्टो परेर भूईंमा लड्यो। 50 यसरी दाऊदले पलिश्तीलाई घुँयेत्रोको ढुङ्गाले हिर्काएर हरायो। उसले ढुङ्गाले हिर्कायो अनि पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई मार्यो। दाऊदसँग तरवार थिएन। 51 यसर्थ ऊ दौडिएर पलिश्तीको छेउमा गयो। त्यसपछि दाऊदले गोल्यतकै म्यानबाट तरवार झिकेर गोल्यतको टाउको छिनायो। यसरी दाऊदले गोल्यतलाई मार्यो। जब अरू पलिश्तीले उनीहरूको वीर नै मरेको देखे अनि डरले भाग्न थाले। 52 इस्राएल र यहूदाका सैनिकहरूले जयघोषणा गर्दै दगुर्दै पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्न थाले। इस्राएलीहरूले पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्दै-खेद्दै गातको सिमाना र एक्रोनको ढोकासम्म पुर्याए र धेरै संख्यामा पलिश्तीहरू मारे। पलिश्तीहरूको लाश गात र एक्रोनको शारेमसम्म सडकभरी छरपष्ट थियो। 53 पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्दै सिमाना कटाए पछि इस्राएलीहरू फर्केर पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीमा पसे र त्यहाँ धेरै सामानहरू फेला पारे। 54 दाऊदले पलिश्तीको टाउको यरूशलेममा नै पुर्यायो। पलिश्तीको हात-हतियार पनि आफ्नै पालमा राख्यो। शाऊल दाऊदसँग डराउन थाल्छन् 55 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई गोल्यतसँग लड्न गएको देखेका थिए। शाऊलले सेनाका सेनापति अबनेरसँग सोधे, “अबनेर, त्यस केटोको बाबु चाहिं को हुन्?” अबनेरले भने, “मेरो राजा, शपथ लिएर भन्दैछु, मलाई थाहा छैन।” 56 राजा शाऊले भने, “त्यसको बाबुको चाहिंको रहेछ खोजी गर।” 57 जब दाऊद गोल्यतलाई मारेर फर्के, अबनेरले उसलाई शाऊल कहाँ लग्यो। दाऊदको हातमा अझै पनि त्यस पलिश्तीको टाउको झुण्डिरहेको थियो। 58 शाऊलले उसलाई सोधे, “युवक, तिम्रो बाबु को हुन्?” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईं कै सेवक बेतलेहेमका यिशैको छोरा हुँ।”
