< Judges 4 >
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord when Ehud was dead.
एहूद मरेपछि, परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा खराब थियो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले फेरि त्यही गरे ।
2 And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Jabin, king of Canaan, who was ruling in Hazor; the captain of his army was Sisera, who was living in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई कनानका राजा याबीनको हातमा बेचिदिनुभयो जसले हासोरमा राज्य गर्थे । तिनको सेनाका कमाण्डरको नाउँ सीसरा थियो, र उनी हरोशेत हग्गोयिममा बस्थे ।
3 Then the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron war-carriages, and for twenty years he was very cruel to the children of Israel.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई सहायताको निम्ति पुकारे, किनभने सीसरासँग नौ सय फलामका रथहरू थिए र तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसलाई बिस वर्षसम्म बलपुर्वक अत्याचार गरे ।
4 Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.
त्यस समय इस्राएलमा एक अगमवादिनी, दबोरा (लप्पीदोतकी पत्नी) नेतृत्व गर्ने न्यायकर्ताको थिइन् ।
5 (And she had her seat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her to be judged.)
तिनी एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा रामा र बेथेलको बिचमा दबोराको खजुरको रूखमुनि बस्ने गर्थिन्, र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आफ्ना विवादहरू मिलाउन तिनीकहाँ आउँथे ।
6 And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
तिनले नाप्तालीको केदेशबाट अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराकलाई बोलाइन् र तिनलाई भनिन्, “परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई यस्तो आज्ञा गर्नुहुन्छ, ‘तबोर डाँडामा जाऊ, र नाप्ताली र जबूलूनबाट तिमीसँग दश हजार मानिसहरू ल्याऊ ।
7 And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.
याबीनका सेनाका कमाण्डर सीसरालाई त्यसका रथहरू र त्यसका सेनाका साथमा कीशोन खोलामा तिमीसित भेट्नलाई म ल्याउनेछु, र तिमीलाई म त्यसमाथि विजयी बनाउनेछु ।’”
8 And Barak said to her, If you will go with me then I will go; but if you will not go with me I will not go.
बाराकले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईं मसँग जानुभयो भने म जान्छु, तर तपाईं मसँग जानुभएन भने म जान्नँ ।”
9 And she said, I will certainly go with you: though you will get no honour in your undertaking, for the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
तिनले भनिन्, “निश्चित रूपमा म तिमीसँग जानेछु । तर जुन बाटो तिमी जाँदैछौ त्यसले तिमीलाई सम्मान दिनेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभुले सीसरालाई एउटी स्त्रीको हातमा बेचिदिनुहुनेछ ।” त्यसपछि दबोरा खडा भइन् र बाराकसँग केदेशमा गइन् ।
10 Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him.
बाराकले जबूलून र नाप्तालीका मानिसहरूलाई उनीसँगै केदेशमा जानको निम्ति बोलाए । दश हजार जना मानिसहरू तिनको पछि आए र दबोरा पनि तिनीसँगै गइन् ।
11 Now Heber the Kenite, separating himself from the rest of the Kenites, from the children of Hobab, the brother-in-law of Moses, had put up his tent as far away as the oak-tree in Zaanannim, by Kedesh.
यति बेला केनीहरू, अर्थात् होबाबका (मोशाका ससुराका) सन्तानबाट हेबेरले (केनीले) आफूलाई अलग्यएका, र आफ्नो पाललाई केदेश नजिकैको सानान्नीममा फलाँटको रूखको छेउमा टाँगेका थिए ।
12 And word was given to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.
अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराक तबोर डाँडामा गएका थिए भन्ने कुरा जब तिनीहरूले सीसरालाई भने,
13 So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.
तब सीसराले आफ्ना सबै रथहरू, नौ सय फलामका रथहरू, र हरोशेत हग्गोयिमदेखि कीशोन खोलासम्म आफूसँग भएका सबै सेनालाई बोलाए ।
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, Up! for today the Lord has given Sisera into your hands: has not the Lord gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.
दबोराले बाराकलाई भनिन्, “जाऊ! किनकि परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई सीसरामाथि विजय दिनुभएको दिन आजै हो । के परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई अगुवाइ गर्नुभएको छैन र?” यसैले आफ्नो पछि लागेका दश हजार मानिसलाई साथमा लिएर बाराक तबोर डाँडाबाट तल गए ।
15 And the Lord sent fear on Sisera and all his war-carriages and all his army before Barak; and Sisera got down from his war-carriage and went in flight on foot.
सीसरा र उनका सबै रथहरू र उनका सबै सेनालाई तरवारको धारले परमप्रभुले अलमल पारिदिनुभयो । अनि सीसरा आफ्नो रथबाट तल झरे र पैदल नै भागे ।
16 But Barak went after the war-carriages and the army as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all Sisera's army was put to the sword; not a man got away.
तर बाराकले रथहरू र सेनालाई हरोशेत हग्गोयिमसम्म लखेटे, र सीसराका सम्पुर्ण सेना तरवारको धारले मारिए, र एक जना मानिस पनि बाँचेन ।
17 But Sisera went in flight on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.
तर सीसरा केनी हेबेरकी पत्नी याएलको पालमा भागेर गए, किनकि हासोरका राजा याबीन र केनी हेबेरको परिवारका बिचमा मिलाप थियो ।
18 And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.
याएल सीसरालाई भेट्न बाहिर गइन् र भनिन्, “मेरा मालिक यता फर्कनुहोस् र नडराउनुहोस् ।” यसैले उनी तिनीतिर फर्के र तिनको पालभित्र पसे, र तिनले उनलाई एउटा कम्बल ओढाइदिइन् ।
19 Then he said to her, Give me now a little water, for I have need of a drink. And opening a skin of milk, she gave him drink, and put the cover over him again.
उनले तिनलाई भने, “मलाई अलिकता पानी पिउन देऊ, किनकि मलाई तिर्खा लागेको छ ।” तिनले दूध हालिएको मशक खोलिन् र तिनलाई पिउन दिइन्, र तिनले उनलाई फेरि ओढाइदिइन् ।
20 And he said to her, Take your place at the door of the tent, and if anyone comes and says to you, Is there any man here, say, No.
उनले तिनलाई भने, “पालको ढोकामा खडा बस । कोही आएर यहाँ कोही छ भनी तिमीलाई सोध्यो भने, ‘छैन’ भन्नू ।”
21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.
त्यसपछि याएल (हेबेरकी पत्नी) पालको एउटा कीला र मुङ्ग्रो आफ्नो हातमा लिइन् र विस्तारै उनको नजिक गइन्, किनकि उनी मस्त निद्रामा थिए र उनको कन्चटबाट त्यो पालको कीलालाई भुइँमा नछेडिंदासम्म तिनले ठोकिदिइन् र उनी मरे ।
22 Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.
बाराकले सीसरालाई खोज्दै गर्दा, याएल उनलाई भेट्न बाहिर गइन् र तिनलाई भनिन्, “आउनुहोस्, तपाईंले खोजिरहनुभएको मानिस म तपाईंलाई देखाउनेछु ।” यसैले उनी तिनीसँग भित्र गए, र सीसराको कन्चटमा पालको कीला गाडिएर ऊ त्यहाँ मरेर ढलेको थियो ।
23 So that day God overcame Jabin, king of Canaan, before the children of Israel.
यसरी त्यस दिन परमेश्वरले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु परास्त गर्नुभयो ।
24 And the power of the children of Israel went on increasing against Jabin, king of Canaan, till he was cut off.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई नष्ट नगरेसम्म उनको विरुद्ध तिनीहरूको सामर्थ बढ्दै गयो ।
