< Judges 4 >
1 But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
एहूद मरेपछि, परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा खराब थियो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले फेरि त्यही गरे ।
2 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor. And he had a commander of his army named Sisera, but this man lived at 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 And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. For he had nine hundred chariots with scythes, and he vehemently oppressed them for twenty years.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई सहायताको निम्ति पुकारे, किनभने सीसरासँग नौ सय फलामका रथहरू थिए र तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसलाई बिस वर्षसम्म बलपुर्वक अत्याचार गरे ।
4 Now there was a prophetess, Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.
त्यस समय इस्राएलमा एक अगमवादिनी, दबोरा (लप्पीदोतकी पत्नी) नेतृत्व गर्ने न्यायकर्ताको थिइन् ।
5 And she was sitting under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Ramah and Bethel, on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for every judgment.
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 and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh of Naphtali. And she said to him: “The Lord, the God of Israel, instructs you: ‘Go and lead an army to Mount Tabor, and you shall take with you ten thousand fighting men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons 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 Then I will lead to you, at the place of the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the leader of the army of Jabin, with his chariots and the entire multitude. And I will deliver them into your hand.’”
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 come with me, I will go. If you are not willing to come with me, I will not go.”
बाराकले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईं मसँग जानुभयो भने म जान्छु, तर तपाईं मसँग जानुभएन भने म जान्नँ ।”
9 She said to him: “Indeed, I will go with you. But due to this change, the victory shall not be reputed to you. And so Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman.” Therefore, Deborah rose up, and she traveled 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 And he, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.
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, had previously withdrawn from the rest of the Kenites, his brothers, the sons of Hobab, the relative of Moses. And he had pitched his tents as far as the valley that is called Zaanannim, which was near 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 it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.
अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराक तबोर डाँडामा गएका थिए भन्ने कुरा जब तिनीहरूले सीसरालाई भने,
13 And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, and the entire army, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.
तब सीसराले आफ्ना सबै रथहरू, नौ सय फलामका रथहरू, र हरोशेत हग्गोयिमदेखि कीशोन खोलासम्म आफूसँग भएका सबै सेनालाई बोलाए ।
14 And Deborah said to Barak: “Rise up. For this is the day on which the Lord delivers Sisera into your hands. For he is your commander.” And so, Barak descended from Mount Tabor, and the ten thousand fighting men with 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 struck Sisera with great fear, and all his chariots and all his multitude with the edge of the sword, in the sight of Barak, so much so that Sisera, leaping from his chariot, fled 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 And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.
तर बाराकले रथहरू र सेनालाई हरोशेत हग्गोयिमसम्म लखेटे, र सीसराका सम्पुर्ण सेना तरवारको धारले मारिए, र एक जना मानिस पनि बाँचेन ।
17 But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house 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 Therefore, Jael went out to meet Sisera, and she said to him: “Enter to me, my lord. Enter, you should not be afraid.” And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,
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 he said to her: “Give me, I beg you, a little water. For I am very thirsty.” And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.
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 Sisera said to her: “Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, ‘Could there be any man here?’ you shall respond, ‘There is no one.’”
उनले तिनलाई भने, “पालको ढोकामा खडा बस । कोही आएर यहाँ कोही छ भनी तिमीलाई सोध्यो भने, ‘छैन’ भन्नू ।”
21 And so Jael, the wife of Heber, took a spike from the tent, and also took a mallet. And entering unseen and with silence, she placed the spike over the temple of his head. And striking it with the mallet, she drove it through his brain, as far as the ground. And so, joining deep sleep to death, he fell unconscious and died.
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 And behold, Barak arrived, in pursuit of Sisera. And Jael, going out to meet him, said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he had entered her tent, he saw Sisera lying dead, with the spike fixed in his temples.
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 Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, on that day, before the sons of Israel.
यसरी त्यस दिन परमेश्वरले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु परास्त गर्नुभयो ।
24 And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई नष्ट नगरेसम्म उनको विरुद्ध तिनीहरूको सामर्थ बढ्दै गयो ।
