19 Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David 2 and warned him, “My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there. 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I’ll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out.” 4 Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?” 6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.” 7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before. 8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him. 9 But an evil[a] spirit from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre, 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape. 11 Saul sent men to David’s house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, warned him, “If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.” 12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped. 13 Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head. 14 When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, “He is ill.” 15 Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.” 16 But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats’ hair. 17 Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?” Michal told him, “He said to me, ‘Let me get away. Why should I kill you?’” 18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there. 19 Word came to Saul: “David is in Naioth at Ramah”; 20 so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on Saul’s men, and they also prophesied. 21 Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. 22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Seku. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “Over in Naioth at Ramah,” they said. 23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth. 24 He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” 20 Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to kill me?” 2 “Never!” Jonathan replied. “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn’t so!” 3 But David took an oath and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.’ Yet as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.” 4 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.” 5 So David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow. 6 If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.’ 7 If he says, ‘Very well,’ then your servant is safe. But if he loses his temper, you can be sure that he is determined to harm me. 8 As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant with you before the Lord. If I am guilty, then kill me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?” 9 “Never!” Jonathan said. “If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you?” 10 David asked, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?” 11 “Come,” Jonathan said, “let’s go out into the field.” So they went there together. 12 Then Jonathan said to David, “I swear by the Lord, the God of Israel, that I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know? 13 But if my father intends to harm you, may the Lord deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the Lord be with you as he has been with my father. 14 But show me unfailing kindness like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed, 15 and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family—not even when the Lord has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.” 16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the Lord call David’s enemies to account.” 17 And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself. 18 Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon feast. You will be missed, because your seat will be empty. 19 The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel. 20 I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target. 21 Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,’ then come, because, as surely as the Lord lives, you are safe; there is no danger. 22 But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, because the Lord has sent you away. 23 And about the matter you and I discussed—remember, the Lord is witness between you and me forever.” 24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon feast came, the king sat down to eat. 25 He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan,[b] and Abner sat next to Saul, but David’s place was empty. 26 Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, “Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.” 27 But the next day, the second day of the month, David’s place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?” 28 Jonathan answered, “David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem. 29 He said, ‘Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.’ That is why he has not come to the king’s table.” 30 Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you? 31 As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!” 32 “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” Jonathan asked his father. 33 But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David. 34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father’s shameful treatment of David. 35 In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him, 36 and he said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 37 When the boy came to the place where Jonathan’s arrow had fallen, Jonathan called out after him, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?” 38 Then he shouted, “Hurry! Go quickly! Don’t stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master. 39 (The boy knew nothing about all this; only Jonathan and David knew.) 40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, “Go, carry them back to town.” 41 After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together—but David wept the most. 42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.[c] 21 [d]David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?” 2 David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place. 3 Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.” 4 But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here—provided the men have kept themselves from women.” 5 David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever[e] I set out. The men’s bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!” 6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the Lord and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away. 7 Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the Lord; he was Doeg the Edomite, Saul’s chief shepherd. 8 David asked Ahimelek, “Don’t you have a spear or a sword here? I haven’t brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king’s mission was urgent.” 9 The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one.” David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.” 10 That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath. 11 But the servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances: “‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?” 12 David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath. 13 So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard. 14 Achish said to his servants, “Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me? 15 Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?” 29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom; and now something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and now something greater than Jonah is here. 33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[a] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[b] your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.” 37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal. 39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you. 42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone. 43 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces. 44 “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.” 45 One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.” 46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them. 47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’ 50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all. 52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” 53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say.

1 शमूएल 20Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) दाऊद र जोनाथनले एउटा सन्धि गर्छन् 20 रामाको छेऊ डेराबाट दाऊद दगुर्दै जोनाथनकहाँ गए। दाऊदले जोनाथनलाई भने, “मैले के भूल गरें? मेरो दोष के हो? तिम्रा पिताले मलाई किन मार्न चाहनु हुन्छ?” 2 जोनाथनले भने, “त्यो सत्य हुन सक्दैन। तिमी मारिने छैनौ। मेरो पिताले मलाई नबताई कुनै काम पनि गर्नु हुँदैन। उहाँले मलाई मुख्य अनि साधारण सूचना भन्नुहुन्छ। यसकारण मेरो पिताले यदि तिमीलाई मार्ने योजना बनाएको भए मलाई किन भन्नुहुन्न र? यो हुनै सक्दैन।” 3 तर दाऊदले भने, “म तिम्रो मित्र हुँ, भन्ने कुरा तिम्रो पितालाई राम्ररी थाह छ। तिम्रा पिताले सायद सोच्नुहुन्छ होला, ‘जोनाथनले यो कुरा थाह पाउँनु हुँदैन। यदि त्यसले थाहा पायो भने दाऊदलाई भन्छ।’ परमप्रभु र तपाईं जीवित रहेसम्म, नै यो सत्य हो मेरो मृत्यु नजिकै छ।” 4 जोनाथनले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई जसो भन्नुहुन्छ म त्यसैगर्छु।” 5 त्यसपछि दाऊदले भने, “हेर भोलि औंसीको चाड छ। मैले राजासँग खाना खानुपर्छ। तर साँझ सम्म मलाई खेतमा लुकेर बस्न देऊ। 6 यदि तिम्रा बुबाले म यहाँ उपस्थित छैन भन्ने थाहा पाउनुभयो भने, त्यत्तिबेला तिमीले भन्नु, ‘दाऊद बेतलेहेम घरमा जान चाहन्थ्यो। तिनका परिवारले नै मासिक बलि चढाउने कुरा छ। यसकारण दाऊदले मलाई बेतलेहेम झर्न र परिवारसँग भेट्न देऊ भने।’ 7 यदि तिम्रा पिताले, ‘ठीक छ’ भन्नु भयो भने म बाँचे। तर रिसाउनु भयो भने बुझ्नुहोस कि उहाँले मलाई घात गर्न चाहनुहुन्छ। 8 म माथि दयागर जोनाथन, म तिम्रो सेवक हुँ। परमप्रभुको अगाडि तिमीले मसँग सम्झौता गरेका छौ। यदि म दोषी छु भने तब तपाईंले नै मलाई मार्नु होस्। तर मलाई तिम्रा बुबा कहाँ नलैजाऊ।” 9 जोनाथनले भने, “त्यसो त कहिले पनि होइन। यदि मेरा पिताले तिमीलाई घात गर्न खोज्नु, भएको मैले थाह पाएँ भने म तिमीलाई सावधान गराउनेछु।” 10 दाऊदले भने, “यदि तपाईंलाई तपाईंका पिताले गाली गरे भने मलाई सावधान कसले गराउँछ?” 11 तब जोनाथनले भने, “हिंड खेततिर जाऔं।” त्यसपछि दुवैजनासँगै खेततिर लागे। 12 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “म इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुको अगाडि प्रतिज्ञा गर्छु। मेरा पिताको तपाईंको बारेमा कस्तो सोचाइ छ म त्यो थाह गर्ने प्रतिज्ञा गर्छु। साँच्चै खराबै सोच्नु भएको छ कि असल सोच्नु भएको छ तीन दिनभित्र म तपाईंलाई खेतमा खबर पठाउँछु। 13 यदि मेरा पिताले तपाईंलाई चोट पुर्याउन चाहनुभएको हो भने म तपाईंलाई भन्नेछु म यहाँबाट तपाईंलाई सुरक्षित जानदिनेछु। प्रतिज्ञा गरेको काम मैले गरिन भने परमप्रभुले मलाई सजाय दिनुहुन्छ। परमप्रभु तिमीसँग रहून् जसरी उहाँ मेरा पितासँग हुनुहुन्छ। 14 जबसम्म म जीवित रहन्छु मलाई दया गर्नु अनि म मरेपछि 15 मेरा सन्तान माथि दया गर्न नछोड। परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीमा भएका तपाईंका सबै शत्रुहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुनेछ। 16 त्यस समय यदि जोनाथनको परिवार दाऊदबाट अलग्गै हुन्छ भने पनि होस्। परमप्रभुले चाहिं दाऊदका शत्रुहरूलाई सजाय दिउन्।” 17 त्यसपछि जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई तिनीहरूको बीचमा भएको प्रेमको प्रतिज्ञालाई नवीकरण गर्नु भनि सोधे किनकी जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई आफू भन्दा ज्यादै प्रेम गर्थे। 18 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “भोलि औंसीको चाड हो। तपाईंको ठाउँ रित्तो देखेर मेरा पिताले तपाईं कहाँ जानुभयो भनि सोच्नुहुनेछ। 19 तेस्रो दिनमा पनि तपाईं जानुहोस् अनि त्यही ठाउँमा लुक्नु जहाँ तपाईं पहिला लुक्नु भएको थियो जब यो समस्या शुरू हुन्छ त्यहीं पहाडको छेउमा पर्खिन्छु। 20 तेस्रो दिन म त्यही पहाडमा निशान हान्ने बहनामा आउनेछु र म काँड हान्ने छु। 21 म एउटा केटालाई काँड खोज्न पठाउँनेछु। यदि सबै ठीक-ठाक छ भने म केटोलाई भन्ने छु, ‘हेर काँड नजिकै छ! तँ धेरै पर गइस्। मेरो नजिक काँड खोज।’ त्यस बेला लुकेको ठाउँबाट तिमी निस्कन सक्छौ। शपत खाएर भन्छु कि जसरी परमप्रभु सत्य र जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमी सुरक्षित छौ। त्यहाँ कुनै खतरा हुनेछैन। 22 तर यदि स्थिति ठीक छैन भने म केटोलाई भन्नेछु ‘काँड धेरै पर पुगेको छ। उता गएर खोजेर आइज्।’ यदि मैले यसो भनेर अह्राएँ भने तिमी भाग्नै पर्छ। परमप्रभुले नै तिमीलाई टाढा पठाउनु भएको हो। 23 दया गरेर तिम्रो र मेरो बीचको सम्झौता चाहि नभुल्नू। परमप्रभु सधैँ भरी हाम्रो साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ।” 24 त्यसपछि दाऊद खेतमा लुक्न गए। उत्सवमा शाऊलको मनोभाव औंसीको चाड आयो। अनि राजा भोजनको निम्ति आफ्ना आसनमा बसे। 25 राजा पर्खाल कै छेउमा सधैँ झैं बसे। उनको ठीक अगाडि जोनाथन बसे। अबनेर राजाको अलिक उता बसे र दाऊदको ठाउँ चाहि रित्तो थियो। 26 त्यस दिन शाऊलले केही पनि भनेनन्। उनले सोचे, “दाऊदलाई केही भयो होला अथवा रीतिपूर्वक शुद्ध छैन होला।” 27 तर भोलिपल्ट महिनाको दोस्रो दिन, दाऊदको ठाँउ अझै खाली नै थियो। त्यसपछि शाऊलले आफ्ना छोरा जोनाथनलाई सोधे, “हिजो र आज औंसीको चाडमा यिशैको छोरा किन उपस्थित भएन?” 28 जोनाथनले भने, “दाऊदले बेतलेहेम घर जान्छु भनेर मसित अनुमति माग्यो। 29 उसले भन्यो, ‘मेरो परिवारले हाम्रो शहरमा बलिदान चढाउँदैछन् अरे, यसकारण मलाई घरमा जान दिनुहोस्। मलाई त्यहाँ जानु भनी दाज्यूले हुकूम दिएका छन् यदि म तपाईंको साथी हुँ भने जान दिनुहोस् र दाजूहरूसँग भेट्न दिनुहोस्।’ त्यही कारणले दाऊद यहाँ राजाको भोजमा आएन।” 30 शाऊल जोनाथनसँग साह्रै क्रोधित भए। उसले जोनाथनलाई भने, “तँ दुष्ट आइमाईको छोरा होस, जसले भनेको मान्दैन। अनि त्यो तेरो स्वभाव पनि हो मलाई थाहा छ तैंले दाऊदको पक्ष लिएको छस्। तँ तेरो जन्म दिने आमा र तेरो आफ्नै लागि पनि लाज पार्छस्। 31 जब सम्म यिशैको छोरा जिउँदो छ तबसम्म तँ राजा हुने छैनस् नत तेरो राज्य पनि हुने छ। अब दाऊदलाई मकहाँ लिएर आइज। त्यो एउटा मरेको मानिस हो।” 32 जोनाथनले पितालाई भने, “दाऊदलाई चाहिं किन मार्ने? उसले के भूल गरेको छ?” 33 तर शाऊलले उसको छोरोलाई हत्या गर्नुको लागि भालाले हान्यो। यसबाट जोनाथनलाई थाहा लाग्यो कि उसका पिताले दाऊदलाई मार्ने चाहन्थ्यो। 34 जोनाथन रिसाएर टेबिल छोडेर हिँडे। जोनाथनलाई साह्रै अशान्ति लाग्यो कि आफ्नो पितासित रिसाएर दोस्रो दिनको भोजन पनि उसले खाएनन्। उसको पिताले उसलाई अपमान गरे। ती उसका पितासित साह्रै क्रोधित थिए अनि एकदमै दुःखी भए किनभने शाऊलले दाऊदलाई मार्न चाहन्थे। जोनाथनसँग दाऊदको बिदावारी 35 भोलिपल्ट बिहान जोनाथन खेतमा गए। जब तिनीहरू एक मत भएका थिए जोनाथन एउटा केटालाई साथमा लिएर दाऊद भए कहाँ गए। 36 जोनाथनले केटोलाई भने, “कुद्दै गएर मैले हानेको काँड लिएर आउँनु।” जब केटो कुद्न थाल्यो जोनाथनले त्यस केटाको टाउको मास्तिर आकाशतिर काँड हाने। 37 काँड झरेको तिर केटो दगुर्यो। तर जोनाथनले कराएर भने, “काँड तँ भएदेखि धेरै पर पुगेको छ।” 38 फेरि जोनाथन चिच्यायो, “छिटो गर। काँड लिन जा। त्यहाँ उभिने होइन।” केटोले काँड ल्याएर आफ्नो मालिकलाई दियो। 39 यी सब के भइरहेछ केटोलाई केही थाहा भएन। खालि जोनाथन र दाऊदलाई मात्र थाहा थियो। 40 जोनाथनले धनुकाँड केटोलाई बोक्न दिए। त्यसपछि जोनाथनले केटोलाई “शहर जा” भनेर पठाए। 41 केटो गयो अनि पहाडको अर्को पट्टिबाट दाऊद आए। दाऊदले शिर भूईतिर झुकाएर तीन पटक जोनाथनलाई अभिवादन गरे। त्यसपछि दाऊद र जोनाथनले एक-अर्कामा म्वाई खाए र दुवै रोए। जोनाथन भन्दा दाऊद ज्यादा रोए। 42 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ। हामीले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा एका-दोस्रोलाई इमानदारी साथी हौं भनि प्रतिज्ञा गरिरहेका छौ। हामी र हाम्रा सन्तानहरूका निम्ति पनि परमप्रभु सधैँ भरी साक्षी रहनु हुनेछ।”
