Today's audio is from the NLT. Switch to the NLT to read along with the audio. 26 The Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?” 2 So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand select Israelite troops, to search there for David. 3 Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there, 4 he sent out scouts and learned that Saul had definitely arrived. 5 Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him. 6 David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?” “I’ll go with you,” said Abishai. 7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him. 8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.” 9 But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless? 10 As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. 11 But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.” 12 So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the Lord had put them into a deep sleep. 13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them. 14 He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren’t you going to answer me, Abner?” Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?” 15 David said, “You’re a man, aren’t you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn’t you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king. 16 What you have done is not good. As surely as the Lord lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the Lord’s anointed. Look around you. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were near his head?” 17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is that your voice, David my son?” David replied, “Yes it is, my lord the king.” 18 And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong am I guilty of? 19 Now let my lord the king listen to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering. If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! They have driven me today from my share in the Lord’s inheritance and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’ 20 Now do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.” 21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.” 22 “Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of your young men come over and get it. 23 The Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The Lord delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. 24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the Lord value my life and deliver me from all trouble.” 25 Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home. 27 But David thought to himself, “One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.” 2 So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maok king of Gath. 3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal. 4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him. 5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?” 6 So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since. 7 David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months. 8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur and Egypt.) 9 Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish. 10 When Achish asked, “Where did you go raiding today?” David would say, “Against the Negev of Judah” or “Against the Negev of Jerahmeel” or “Against the Negev of the Kenites.” 11 He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, “They might inform on us and say, ‘This is what David did.’” And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory. 12 Achish trusted David and said to himself, “He has become so obnoxious to his people, the Israelites, that he will be my servant for life.” 28 In those days the Philistines gathered their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army.” 2 David said, “Then you will see for yourself what your servant can do.” Achish replied, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life.” 3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land. 4 The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. 6 He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. 7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.” “There is one in Endor,” they said. 8 So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.” 9 But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?” 10 Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.” 11 Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” “Bring up Samuel,” he said. 12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!” 13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a ghostly figure[a] coming up out of the earth.” 14 “What does he look like?” he asked. “An old man wearing a robe is coming up,” she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. 15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.” 16 Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the Lord has done this to you today. 19 The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.” 20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night. 21 When the woman came to Saul and saw that he was greatly shaken, she said, “Look, your servant has obeyed you. I took my life in my hands and did what you told me to do. 22 Now please listen to your servant and let me give you some food so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.” 23 He refused and said, “I will not eat.” But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch. 24 The woman had a fattened calf at the house, which she butchered at once. She took some flour, kneaded it and baked bread without yeast. 25 Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left. 11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” 8 “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.” 11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” 12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. 14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” 17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18 Now Bethany was less than two miles[b] from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. 21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” 28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. 32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” 38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” 40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” 45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.” 49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.” 51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, 52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life. 54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples. 1 Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. 2 For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.[a] 22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. 23 A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!

1 शमूएल 26Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) दाऊद र अबीशै शाऊलको छाउनीमा पसे 26 जीपीका मानिसहरू शाऊललाई भेट्न गिबा गए। तिनीहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “हकीलाको पहाडमा दाऊद लुक्दैछ। यो पहाड यशीमोन देखि पारि पर्छ।” 2 शाऊल जीपको मरुभूमितिर गए। शाऊलले 3,000 सेनाहरू इस्राएलबाट छानेर लगे। शाऊल र उसका सेनाहरूले जीपको मरुभूमितिर दाऊदलाई खोजे। 3 शाऊलले उसको छाउनी हकीलाको पहाडमाथि बाटोको छेउमा यशीमोन तिर फर्काएर बनाए। दाऊद त्यही मरुभूमिमा थिए। शाऊलले पीछा गर्दैछन् भन्ने कुरा तिनलाई थाहा थियो। 4 यसर्थ दाऊदले चेवाहरू पठाए। दाऊदलाई थाहा लाग्यो शाऊल हकीलामा छ भनेर। 5 दाऊद शाऊलको छाउनीमा गए। शाऊल र अबनेर कहाँ सुतिरहेका थिए दाऊदले देखे। (नेरका छोरो अबनेर शाऊलका सेनाको सेनापति थिए।) शाऊल छाउनीको बीचमा सुते। सेनाहरू शाऊलको वरिपरि सुती रहेका थिए। 6 दाऊदले हित्ती अहीमेलेक र सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैसित बात गरे। (अबीशै योआबका भाइ थिए।) तिनले भने, “मसँग शाऊलको छाउनीमा को जान्छ?” अबीशैले जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईंसँग जानेछु।” 7 जब रात पर्यो दाऊद र अबीशै शाऊलको छाउनीमा गए। शाऊल छाउनीको मध्य भागमा मस्त सुतिरहेका थिए। तिनको भाला तिनको शिर नेर भूँईमा गाडिएको थियो। अबनेर अरू सैनिकहरूसँगै शाऊलको वरिपरी मस्त सुतिरहेका थिए। 8 अबीशैले दाऊदलाई भने, “आज परमेश्वरले तपाईंको शत्रुलाई तपाईंको हातमा सुम्पिनु भएकोछ उसको भालाले उसैलाई रोप्न मलाई दिनुहोस्। म एकै खेपमा काम सिध्याउँछु।” 9 तर दाऊदले अबीशैलाई भने, “शाऊललाई नमार! परमेश्वरले छान्नु भएको राजालाई घात गर्दा दण्ड पाइन्छ। 10 साँच्चै नै परमेश्वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ परमप्रभु आफैंले शाऊललाई दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ। शाऊल युद्ध भूमिमा मरोस अथवा स्वभाविक मृत्यु होस्। 11 तर म परमप्रभुले उहाँका चुनिएका राजालाई केही नोक्सान नपुर्याउन भनी उहाँलाई विन्ति गर्छु। शाऊलको शिरमा भएको भाला र पानीको सुराही उठाउ अनि हामी जानेछौ।” 12 यसरी दाऊदले भाला र पानीको सुराही शाऊलको शिरकै छेउबाट लिए। त्यसपछि दाऊद र अबीशै छाउनीबाट निस्किए। तिनीहरूले के गरे कसैले पनि थाहा पाएन। न कसैले देख्यो न त कोही ब्यूँझियो। शाऊल र तिनका सैनिकहरू गहिरो निद्रामा परेको कारण परमप्रभुले नै तिनीहरूलाई गहिरो निद्रामा पारिदिनुभएको थियो। दाऊदले फेरि पनि शाऊललाई लाजमर्दो बनाए 13 दाऊद बेंसी पार गरेर पारिपट्टि पुगे। शाऊलको छाउनीबाट पारी पहाडको टाकुरामा पुगे। दाऊद र शाऊलका छाउनीहरू धेरै टाढा-टाढा थिए। 14 दाऊदले सेना र खास गरी नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई ठूलो स्वरमा कराएर भने, “अबनेर, मलाई जवाफ देऊ!” अबनेरले जवाफ दिए, “तिमी को हौ? किन महाराजलाई डाकिरहेछौ?” 15 दाऊदले भने, “तिमी मानिस हौ, कि होइनौ? अनि इस्राएल भरी सबभन्दा महान तिमी नै छौ। के यो सत्य होइन? त्यसो हो भने आफ्नो प्रभु महाराजको रक्षा किन ठिकसित गरेनौ? एउटा साधारण मानिसले तिम्रो राजालाई मार्न छाउनी भित्र आयो। 16 तिमीले एकदमै नराम्रो काम गर्यौ। जस्तो कि परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरू मर्नु पर्छ। किनभने तिमीहरूले आफ्ना परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त राजाको रक्षा गरेनौ। अब हेर राजाको सिरानी छेउको भाला र पानी पिउने सुराही खोई, कहाँ छन्?” 17 शाऊलले दाऊदको स्वर चिने। शाऊलले भने, “मेरो छोरा दाऊद के यो स्वर तिम्रो हो?” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “ज्यू, यो मेरै आवाज हो, मेरो प्रभु महाराजा।” 18 दाऊदले फेरि भने, “हे मेरा प्रभु, तपाईंले मेरो खेदो किन गर्नु हुदैछ? मैले के भूल गरें? मेरो के कसुर छ? 19 हे मेरो मालिक राजा म तपाईंको नोकरलाई सुन्नु होस् यदि परमप्रभुले नै तपाईंलाई म माथि रिस उठाउनु भएको हो भने एउटा भेट स्वीकार गरिदिनुहोस्। तर यदि मानिसले तपाईंलाई म माथि रिस उठाउनु भएको हो भने, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई केही नराम्रो गर्नुहुनेछ। परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको भूमि त्याग्न मलाई मानिसहरूले जबरजस्ती गरे। तिनीहरूले मलाई भने, ‘जाऊ र विदेशीसँग बस र विदेशी देवतालाई पूजागर।’ 20 मलाई परमप्रभुबाट टाढा मर्न नदेऊ। इस्राएलका राजा झींङ्गाको पछि लाग्दैछ। तपाईं पहाडमा भ्यागुत्ताहरूको पछि लागेको मानिस जस्तो हुनुभयो।” 21 तब शाऊलले भने, “मैले पाप गरें। मेरो छोरा दाऊद यता आऊ आज मलाई प्रमाण गरेर देखाइ देऊ। तिम्रो निम्ति मेरो ज्यान महत्वपूर्ण छ। अब म तिमीलाई चोट पुर्याउने छैन। मैले मूर्खले झैं ठूलो भूल गरें।” 22 दाऊदले जवाफमा भने, “राजाको भाला यहाँ छ। यो लिन कुनै एक जना जवानलाई पठाउनुहोस्। 23 परमप्रभुले हरेक मानिसहरूलाई उसको धार्मिकता र विश्वसनीयताको निम्ति इनाम दिनुहुन्छ। उहाँले राम्रो काम गर्ने मानिसलाई इनाम दिनुहुन्छ र नराम्रो कार्य गर्नेलाई दण्ड दिनुहुन्छ। परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई हराउन आज मलाई मौका दिनुभयो। तर म परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त राजालाई हानि गर्न चाहँदिन। 24 आज मैले प्रमाण गरें कि मेरो निम्ति तपाईंको जीवन महत्वपूर्ण छ। यस्तै प्रकार परमप्रभुले पनि देख्नु हुनेछ मेरो प्राण उहाँलाई महत्वपूर्ण छ। परमप्रभुले मलाई प्रत्येक खतराबाट बचाउँनु हुनेछ।” 25 त्यसपछि शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई आशीर्वाद दिऊन्, मेरो छोरा दाऊद। तिमीले ठूला-ठूला कार्यहरू गर्नेछौ र सफलता पनि पाउँनेछौ।” दाऊद आफ्नो बाटो लागे र शाऊल घरतिर फर्किए।
