< Judges 14 >

1 One day Samson went down to Timnah, where he saw a young Philistine woman.
शिमशोन तल तिम्नामा गए, र त्यहाँ पलिश्तीहरूका छोरीहरूमध्‍ये एक जना स्‍त्रीलाई तिनले देखे ।
2 So he returned and told his father and mother, “I have seen a daughter of the Philistines in Timnah. Now get her for me as a wife.”
जब तिनी फर्के, तब तिनले आफ्ना बुबा र आमालाई भने, “मैले तिम्नामा पलिश्तीहरूका छोरीहरूमध्‍ये एक जना स्‍त्रीलाई देखें । तिनलाई मेरो पत्‍नी हुनलाई ल्याइदिनुहोस् ।”
3 But his father and mother replied, “Can’t you find a young woman among your relatives or among any of our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Get her for me, for she is pleasing to my eyes.”
तिनका बुबा र आमाले तिनलाई भने, “के तिम्रा नातेदारहरूका छोरीहरू वा हाम्रा मानिसहरूका माझमा कोही स्‍त्री छैन र? के तिमी खतना नभएका पलिश्तीहरूबाट आफ्नो निम्ति पत्‍नी लिन जाँदैछौ?” शिमशोनले आफ्ना बुबालाई भने, “तिनलाई मेरो निम्ति ल्याइदिनुहोस्, किनकि म जब तिनलाई हेर्छु, मलाई खुशी लाग्‍छ ।”
4 (Now his father and mother did not know this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines; for at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.)
तर तिनका बुबा र आमालाई यो कुरा परमप्रभुबाट आएको हो भन्‍ने कुरा थाहा थिएन, किनकि उहाँले पलिश्तीहरूसँग झगडा ल्याउने योजना गर्नुभएको थियो (किनकि त्यो समयमा पलिश्तीहरूले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरिरहेको थियो) ।
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Suddenly a young lion came roaring at him,
तब शिमशोन आफ्ना बुबा र आमासँग तल तिम्नामा गए, र तिनीहरू तिम्नाको दाखबारीमा गए । अनि हेर, त्‍यहाँ जवान सिंहहरूमध्‍ये एउटा माथि आयो र तिनीमाथि गर्जन थाल्यो ।
6 and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.
परमप्रभुका आत्मा अचानक तिनीमाथि आउनुभयो, र तिनले एउटा सानो पाठोलाई झैं तुरुन्‍तै त्यो सिंहलाई च्यातिदिए, र तिनको हातमा तिनीसित कुनै कुरा पनि थिएन । तर आफूले जे गरेका थिए, त्‍यो तिनले आफ्ना बुबा वा आमालाई भनेनन् ।
7 Then Samson continued on his way down and spoke to the woman, because she was pleasing to his eyes.
तिनी गए र त्यो स्‍त्रीसँग कुरा गरे, र जब शिमशोनले उनलाई हेरे, तब उनले तिनलाई खुसी पारिन् ।
8 When Samson returned later to take her, he left the road to see the lion’s carcass, and in it was a swarm of bees, along with their honey.
केही दिनपछि जब तिनी उनलाई विवाह गर्न भनेर फर्के, तब त्‍यो सिंहको सिनु हेर्नलाई तिनी त्‍यतातिर गए । अनि हेर, तिनले छाडेका त्यो सिंहको सिनुमा मौरीको झुण्ड र मह थियो ।
9 So he scooped some honey into his hands and ate it as he went along. And when he returned to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.
तिनले आफ्ना हातमा मह लिए र तिनी जाँदा खाँदै गए । जब तिनी आफ्ना बुबा र आमाकहाँ आए, तिनले अलिकति मह तिनीहरूलाई पनि दिए, र तिनीहरूले खाए । तर तिनले त्यो मह सिंहको सिनुबाट लिएका थिए भन्‍ने कुरा तिनले भनेनन् ।
10 Then his father went to visit the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, as was customary for the bridegroom.
शिमशोनका बुबा तल त्यो स्‍त्री भएको ठाउँमा गए, र शिमशोनले त्यहाँ एउटा भोज दिए, किनकि त्‍यो दुलहाले गर्नैपर्ने प्रचलन थियो ।
11 And when the Philistines saw him, they selected thirty men to accompany him.
स्‍त्रीका नातेदारहरूले तिनलाई देख्‍नेबित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना तिस जना साथी तिनीसँग बस्‍नलाई ल्याए ।
12 “Let me tell you a riddle,” Samson said to them. “If you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.
शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म तिमीहरूलाई एउटा अड्को थाप्छु । तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले भोजको सात दिनभित्रमा अड्को फुकाएर त्यसको उत्तर मलाई भन्‍न सक्यौ भने, म तिमीहरूलाई तिसवटा सुतीका लबेदा र तिस थान लुगाहरू दिनेछु ।
13 But if you cannot solve it, you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.” “Tell us your riddle,” they replied. “Let us hear it.”
तर तिमीहरूले मलाई उत्तर भन्‍न सकेनौ भने, तिमीहरूले मलाई तिसवटा सुतीका लबेदा र तिस थान लुगाहरू दिनुपर्नेछ ।” तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “हामीलाई तिम्रो अड्को भन, ताकि हामी त्‍यो सनौं ।”
14 So he said to them: “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” For three days they were unable to explain the riddle.
तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “खानेबाट केही खाने कुरो निस्क्यो, बलियोबाट केही गुलियो कुरो निस्क्यो ।” तर तिनका पाहुनाहरूले तिन दिनमा त्यसको उत्तर पाउन सकेनन् ।
15 So on the fourth day they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband to explain the riddle to us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?”
चौथो दिनमा तिनीहरूले शिमशोनकी पत्‍नीलाई भने, “तिम्रो पतिलाई छल गर ताकि तिनले हामीलाई त्यो अड्कोको उत्तर बताऊन्, नत्रता हामी तिमी र तिम्रो बुबाको घरलाई आगो लगाइदिनेछौं । के हामीलाई गरिब बनाउनलाई तिमीले हामीलाई यहाँ बोलाएकी हौ?”
16 Then Samson’s wife came to him, weeping, and said, “You hate me! You do not really love me! You have posed to my people a riddle, but have not explained it to me.” “Look,” he said, “I have not even explained it to my father or mother, so why should I explain it to you?”
शिमशोनकी पत्‍नी तिनको सामु रुन थालिन् । उनले भनिन्, “तपाईंले मलाई घृणा मात्र गर्नुहुन्छ! तपाईंले मलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्‍न । तपाईंले मेरा केही मानिसलाई अड्को थाप्नुभएको छ, तर तपाईंले मलाई उत्तर भन्‍नुभएको छैन ।” शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “यता हेर, मैले मेरो बुबा वा आमालाई त भनेको छैनँ, त के म तिमीलाई भनूँ?”
17 She wept the whole seven days of the feast, and finally on the seventh day, because she had pressed him so much, he told her the answer. And in turn she explained the riddle to her people.
भोजको सातौं दिनसम्म त्यो रोई । सातौं दिनमा तिनले उनलाई उत्तर भनिदिए किनभने उनले तिनलाई धेरै दबाब दिइन् । उनले आफ्ना नातेदारहरूलाई उत्तर भनिदिई ।
18 Before sunset on the seventh day, the men of the city said to Samson: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” So he said to them: “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle!”
सातौं दिनमा सूर्य अस्ताउनअगि सहरका मानिसले तिनलाई भने, “महभन्दा गुलियो के हुन्छ र? सिंहभन्दा बलियो के हुन्छ र?” शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले मेरो कोरेलीलाई नजोतेका भए, तिमीहरूले मेरो अड्कोको उत्तर पाउनेथिएनौ ।”
19 Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, killed thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave their clothes to those who had solved the riddle. And burning with anger, Samson returned to his father’s house,
तब परमप्रभुको आत्मा अचानक शक्तिको साथमा शिमशोनमाथि आउनुभयो । शिमशोन तल अश्कलोनमा गए र तिनीहरूका तिस जना मानिसहरूलाई मारे । तिनले तिनीहरूका लुटका सामान लिए, र त्यो अड्को फुकाउने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका लुगाहरू दिए । रिसले चूर भएर तिनी आफ्ना बुबाका घरमा गए ।
20 and his wife was given to one of the men who had accompanied him.
शिमशोनको साथमा बसेको मित्रलाई तिनको पत्‍नी दिएर पठाइयो ।
