Judges 2
1 Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:
परमप्रभुका दूत गिलगालबाट माथि बोकीममा गए, र भने, “मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याएँ, र तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी मैले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको देशमा ल्याएँ । मैले भनें, ‘तिमीहरूसँगको मेरो करारलाई म कहिल्यै तोड्नेछैनँ ।
2 And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?
यस देशमा बस्नेहरूसँग तिमीहरूले कुनै करार गर्नुहुँदैन । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू भत्कानुपर्छ ।’ तर तिमीहरूले मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरेका छैनौ । तिमीहरूले यो के गरेका छौ?
3 And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.
यसैले म अब भन्छु, ‘तिमीहरूको अगिबाट म कनानीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाल्नेछैनँ, तर तिनीहरू तिमीहरूका वरिपरिका काँढाहरू हुनेछन्, र तिनीहरूका देवताहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति पासो बन्नेछन् ।’”
4 Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.
जब परमप्रभुका दूतले यी वचन इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई भने, तब मानिसहरू चिच्चाए र रोए ।
5 And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.
तिनीहरूले त्यस ठाउँलाई बोकीम नाउँ दिए । त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान चढाए ।
6 And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.
अब यहोशूले मानिसहरूलाई आ-आफ्नो बाटोमा पठाएका थिए, इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आ-आफ्नो जमिनमाथि अधिकार गर्न ती ठाउँहरूमा गए ।
7 And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.
यहोशू र तिनीपछि पनि बाँचेका धर्म-गुरुहरू जसले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको निम्ति गर्नुभएका सबै महान् कामलाई देखेका थिए, तिनीहरूले आफ्नो जीवनकालभरि नै परमप्रभुको सेवा गरे ।
8 And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.
परमप्रभुका सेवक नूनका छोरा यहोशूको ११० वर्षको उमेरमा मृत्यु भयो ।
9 And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.
तिनीहरूले उनलाई गाश पर्वतको उत्तरपट्टि, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देश, तिम्नथ-हेरेसमा उनको अधिकारमा दिइएको जमिनको सिमानाभित्र गाडे ।
10 And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.
त्यस पुस्ताका सबै जना आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसँगै मिले । तिनीहरू पछि परमप्रभु र उहाँले इस्राएलको निम्ति गर्नुभएका कामको बारेमा जानकारी नभएका अर्को पुस्ता खडा भयो ।
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा दुष्ट थियो त्यही गरे र तिनीहरूले बाल देवताको सेवा गरे ।
12 And they gave up the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had taken them out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about them, worshipping them and moving the Lord to wrath.
तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउनुहुने तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरसँग तिनीहरूले सम्बन्ध तोडे । तिनीहरूले अन्य देवताहरू, तिनीहरूका वरिपरि भएका मानिसहरूका देवताहरूलाई पछ्याए, र तिनीहरूलाई उनीहरूलाई ढोगे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई क्रोधित बनाए किनभने,
13 And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.
तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट टाढा भए, र बाल तथा अश्तोरेत देवताको पुजा गरे ।
14 And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.
परमप्रभुको क्रोध इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा दन्कियो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका धन-सम्पत्ति लुट्ने लुटेराहरूकहाँ सुम्पनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दासहरूझैं बेचिदिनुभयो र तिनीहरू वरिपरिबाट शत्रुहरूले घेरिए, यसरी तिनीहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट आफैलाई बचाउन सकेनन् ।
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.
जहाँ-जहाँ इस्राएल युद्धको निम्ति गए, परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिनीहरूलाई परास्त गर्नको निम्ति उहाँको हात तिनीहरूको विरुद्ध थियो, र तिनीहरू अत्यन्तै सकसमा परे ।
16 Then the Lord gave them judges, as their saviours from the hands of those who were cruel to them.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले न्यायकर्ताहरू खडा गर्नुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूका धन-सम्पत्ति लुट्नेहरूका हातबाट तिनीहरूलाई बचाए ।
17 But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do so.
तापनि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना न्यायकर्ताहरूका कुरा सुनेनन् । तिनीहरू परमप्रभुप्रति विश्वासहीन भए र आफूलाई वेश्याहरूझैं अन्य देवताहरूकहाँ सुम्पे र तिनीहरूको पुजा गरे । परमप्रभुका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्ने तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले जिएका मार्गबाट तिनीहरू चाँडै नै तर्केर गए र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झैं तिनीहरूले गरेनन् ।
18 And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.
जब परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका निम्ति न्यायकर्ताहरू खडा गर्नुभयो, ती न्यायकर्ताहरू बाँचुन्जेल परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुभयो र तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका हातबाट तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो । तिनीहरूलाई अत्याचार गर्ने र कष्ट दिनेहरूका कारणले तिनीहरूले चित्कार गर्दा परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमाथि दया देखाउनुभयो ।
19 But whenever the judge was dead, they went back and did more evil than their fathers, going after other gods, to be their servants and their worshippers; giving up nothing of their sins and their hard-hearted ways.
तर न्यायकर्ता मरेपछि, तिनीहरू खराब बाटोतर्फ लाग्थे र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले गरेकाभन्दा पनि भ्रष्ट कामहरू गर्थे । तिनीहरू अन्य देवताहरूको सेवा गर्न र तिनीहरूको पुजा गर्न तिनीहरूको पछि लाग्थे । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कुनै पनि दुष्ट काम वा तिनीहरूका हठी चालहरूलाई त्याग्न इन्कार गरे ।
20 And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;
परमप्रभुको क्रोध इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा दन्कियो । उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “यस जातिले मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खालाई दिएको मेरा करारका शर्तहरूलाई तोडेका हुनाले र तिनीहरूले मेरा आज्ञा पालन नगरेका हुनाले,
21 From now on I will not go on driving out from before them any of the nations which at the death of Joshua were still living in this land;
यहोशू मृत्यु हुँदा, त्यसले बाँकी छोडेका सबै जातिलाई म अबदेखि उसो तिनीहरूका सामुबाट धपाउनेछैनँ ।
22 In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झै परमप्रभुको मार्गलाई पछ्याएर ती मार्गमा हिंड्नेछन् या छैनन् भनेर जाँच्नको निम्ति म यसो गर्नेछु ।”
23 So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.
यसकारण परमप्रभुले ती जातिहरूलाई छोडिदिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई तुरुन्तै धपाउनुभएन र यहोशूको हातमा सुम्पनुभएन ।
