Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
शिमशोन गाजामा गए र त्यहाँ एउटी वेश्यालाई देखे, र तिनी त्यससँग ओछ्यानमा गए ।
2 When the Gazites heard that Samson was there, they surrounded that place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They were quiet throughout the night, saying, “Let us wait until dawn; then we will kill him.”
गाजाका मानिसहरूलाई यस्तो भनियो, “शिमशोन यहाँ आएको छ ।” गाजाका मानिसहरूले त्यस ठाउँलाई घेरे र गुप्तमा तिनीहरूले सारा रात सहरको ढोकामा कुरे । तिनीहरू रातभर शान्त बसे । तिनीहरूले यसो भनेका थिए, “दिनको उज्यालो नभएसम्म हामी कुरौं, र त्यसपछि उसलाई हामी मारौं ।”
3 But Samson lay there only until midnight, when he got up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and both gateposts, and pulled them out, bar and all. Then he put them on his shoulders and took them to the top of the mountain overlooking Hebron.
शिमशोन मध्यरातसम्म ओछ्यानमा पल्टे । मध्यरातमा तिनी उठे र तिनले सहरको ढोका र त्यसका दुईवटा खम्बालाई समाते । तिनले बारसहित ती जमिनबाट उखेले, र ती आफ्ना काँधमा राखे, र हेब्रोनको सामुन्ने डाँडाको चुचुरासम्म बोकेर लगे ।
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
यसपछि, शिमशोन सोरेकको बेसीमा बस्ने गर्ने एक जना स्त्रीसँग प्रेममा परे । त्यसको नाउँ दलीला थियो ।
5 The lords of the Philistines went to her and said, “Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can overpower him to tie him up and subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”
पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू त्यस स्त्रीकहाँ आए, र भने, “शिमशोनलाई छल गरेर त्यसको त्यो ठुलो बल केमा रहेको छ, र कसरी हामी त्यसको शक्तिलाई हामी हराउन सक्छौं भन्ने कुरा थाहा गर, ताकि हामीले त्यसलाई बाँधेर त्यसलाई लज्जीत पार्न सकौं । यो काम गर, र हामी हरेकले तिमीलाई चाँदीका १,१०० सिक्का दिनेछौं ।”
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
तब दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनिन्, “कृपया मलाई बताउनुहोस्, कि तपाईं कसरी यस्तो बलियो हुनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंलाई नियन्त्रण गर्नको निम्ति तपाईंलाई कसरी बाँध्न सकिन्छ?”
7 Samson told her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become as weak as any other man.”
शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिनीहरूले मलाई नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदाले बाँधे भने, म कमजोर हुनेछु र अरू साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
तब पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदा ल्याएर दलीलालाई दिए, र त्यसले शोमशोनलाई ती ताँदाले बाँधी ।
9 While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a strand of yarn seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown.
त्यस स्त्रीको भित्री कोठामा त्यसले गुप्तमा मानिसहरू लुकाएकी थिई । त्यसले तिनलाई भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तर तिनले ती धनुका ताँदालाई आगोमा परेका सनपाटका धागाहरूझैं छिनाइदिए । यसैले तिनको शक्तिको रहस्य खोलिएन ।
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
त्यसपछि दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनी, “तपाईंले मलाई धोका दिनुभएको छ र मलाई झुटो बोल्नुभएको छ । कृपया, मलाई बताउनुहोस् तपाईंलाई कसरी नियन्त्रण गर्न सकिन्छ ।”
11 He replied, “If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man.”
तिनले त्यसलाई भने, “कहिल्यै कामको निम्ति प्रयोग नभएका नयाँ डोरीले तिनीहरूले मलाई बाँधे भने म कमजोर हुनेछु र साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
12 So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.
यसैले दलीलाले नयाँ डोरीहरू लिएर तिनलाई त्यसले बाँधी, र भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” मानिसहरू भित्री कोठामा कुरिरहेका थिए । तर शिमशोनले आफ्ना पाखुराका डोरीहरूलाई धागो छिनाएझैं छिनाइदिए ।
13 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.” He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.”
दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनी, “अहिलेसम्म त तपाईंले मलाई धोका दिनुभएको छ र मसँग झुटो बोल्नुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई कसरी नियन्त्रमा लिन सकिन्छ मलाई बताउनुहोस् ।” शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिमीले मेरो कपालका सातवटा लट्टालाई तानमा बुनेर कीलामा कसेर राख्यौ भने म अरू मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
14 So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web. Then she tightened it with a pin and called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the loom and the web.
जब तिनी निदाए, दलीलाले उनका कपालका सातवटा लट्टा बनाई तानमा बुनेर कीलामा कसरे राखी, अनि त्यसले उनलाई भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तिनी आफ्नो निद्राबाट उठे र तानसमेत कीला उखेलिदिए ।
15 “How can you say, ‘I love you,’” she asked, “when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have mocked me and failed to reveal to me the source of your great strength!”
त्यसले उनलाई भनी, “तपाईंले मलाई कसरी ‘म तिमीलाई प्रेम गर्छु’ भन्न सक्नुहुन्छ, जब कि तपाईंले आफ्ना गोप्य कुराहरू मलाई बताउनुहुन्न? तिन पटक तपाईंले मेरो उपहास गर्नुभएको छ र तपाईंसँग यस्तो महाबल कसरी आउँछ भनेर भन्नुभएको छैन ।”
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
हरेक दिन त्यसले तिनलाई यही कुरा गरेर दबाब दिई, र त्यसले यति दबाब दिई, कि तिनले मर्ने इच्छा गरे ।
17 Samson told her all that was in his heart: “My hair has never been cut, because I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become as weak as any other man.”
यसैले शिमशोनले त्यसलाई हरेक कुरा भने र तिनलाई यसो भनिदिए, “मेरो शिरको कपालमा कहिल्यै पनि मैले खौरेको छैन, किनभने मेरी आमाको गर्भदेखि नै म परमेश्वरको निम्ति एक नाजिरी भएको छु । मेरो कपाल खौरियो भने, मेरो शक्ति मबाट जानेछ, र म कमजोर र सामान्य मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
18 When Delilah realized that he had revealed to her all that was in his heart, she sent this message to the lords of the Philistines: “Come up once more, for he has revealed to me all that is in his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came to her, bringing the money in their hands.
दलीलाले तिनले सबै सत्य कुरा बताएको देखेपछि, त्यसले यसो भनेर पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूलाई बोलाई, “आउनुहोस्, किनभने तिनले मलाई सबै कुरा बताएका छन् ।” त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले आफ्ना हातमा चाँदी लिएर त्यसकहाँ गए ।
19 And having lulled him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his head. In this way she began to subdue him, and his strength left him.
त्यसले तिउनलाई आफ्नो काखमा सुताई । तिनको शिरको सातवटा लट्टा खौरिदिन त्यसले एक जना मानिसलाई बोलाई, र त्यसले तिनलाई काबूमा पार्न लागी, किनभने तिनको शक्ति हटिसकेको थियो ।
20 Then she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” When Samson awoke from his sleep, he thought, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.
त्यसले भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तिनी आफ्नो निद्राबाट उठे र भने, “म अरू बेलाझैं उम्कनेछु र आफूलाई छुटाउनेछु ।” तर परमप्रभुले तिनलाई छोडिसाक्नुभएको छ भन्ने तिनलाई थाहा थिएन ।
21 Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze shackles and forced to grind grain in the prison.
पलिश्तीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनका आँखा निकालिदिए । उनीहरूले तिनलाई गाजामा ल्याएर काँसाका साङ्लाले बाँधे । तिनी झ्यालखानामा जाँतो पिंध्न थाले ।
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
तर तिनको शिरमा कपाल खौरपछि फेरि पलाउन थाल्यो ।
23 Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon. They rejoiced and said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hands.”
पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू आफ्ना देवता दागोनलाई महान् बलि चढाउन र आनन्द मनाउन एकसाथ भेला भए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रा देवताले हामीहरूका शत्रु शिमशोनलाई जिते र हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।”
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god, saying: “Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy who destroyed our land and multiplied our dead.”
जब मानिसहरूले तिनलाई देखे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताको प्रशंसा गरे, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रो देशलाई नाश गर्ने, र हामीमध्ये धेरैलाई मार्ने हामीहरूका शत्रुलाई हाम्रो देवताले जित हासिल गरे हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।”
25 And while their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison to entertain them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
जब तिनीहरू उत्सव मनाउँदै थिए, तब तिनीहरूले भने, “शिमशोनलाई बोलाओ, ताकि त्यसले हामीलाई हँसाओस् ।” तिनीहरूले शिमशोनलाई झ्यालखानाबाट बाहिर झिके र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई हँसाए । उनीहरूले तिनलाई खम्बाहरूका बिचमा खडा गरेका थिए ।
26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Lead me where I can feel the pillars supporting the temple, so I can lean against them.”
शिमशोनका आफ्नो हात समाइरहेको केटोलाई भने, “यो मन्दिर अडाउने खम्बाहरू मलाई छुन देऊ, ताकि म तिनमा अडेस लगाउन सकूँ ।”
27 Now the temple was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching Samson entertain them.
त्यो मन्दिर पुरुष र स्त्रीहरूले भरिएको थियो । पलिश्तीहरूका सबै शासकहरू त्यहीं नै थिए । छतमा करिब तिन हजार पुरुष र स्त्रीहरू थिए । शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई मनोरन्जन दिंदा हेरिरहेका थिए ।
28 Then Samson called out to the LORD: “O Lord GOD, please remember me. Strengthen me, O God, just once more, so that with one vengeful blow I may pay back the Philistines for my two eyes.”
शिमशोनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र भने, “परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, मेरो सम्झना गर्नुहोस्! परमेश्वर, कृपया मलाई एकपटक मात्र शक्ति दिनुहोस्, ताकि मेरा दुई आँखाको साटो मैले यी पलिश्तीहरूसँग एकै पटकमा बदला लिन सकूँ ।”
29 And Samson reached out for the two central pillars supporting the temple. Bracing himself against them with his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other,
त्यस मन्दिरलाई अडाउने बिचका दुई खम्बालाई शिमशोनले समाए र एउटा खम्बालाई आफ्नो दाहिने हात र अर्कोलाई आफ्नो देब्रे हातले समाएर ती ठेले ।
30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people in it. So in his death he killed more than he had killed in his life.
शिमशोनले भने, “मलाई पलिश्तीहरूसँगै मर्न दिनुहोस्!” तिनले आफ्नो बल लगाएर हातहरू पसारे र त्यो मन्दिर सबै शासकहरू र त्यहाँ भएका सबै मानिसहरूमाथि खस्यो । यसरी तिनी आफू मर्दा आफ्नो जीवनभरमा मरेका भन्दा धेरैलाई मारे ।
31 Then Samson’s brothers and his father’s family came down, carried him back, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
तब तिनका दाजुभाइ र तिनका बुबाका घरानाका सबै त्यहाँ आए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई लगे अनि तिनका बुबा मानोहको चिहानमा सोरा र एश्लोतको बिचमा तिनलाई दफन गरे । शिमशोनले इस्राएलमा बिस वर्ष न्याय गरेका थिए ।
