< Judges 15 >
1 And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying:
केही दिनपछि, गहुँ कटनीको समयमा, शिमशोनले एउटा पाठो लिए र आफ्नी पत्नीलाई भेट्न गए । तिनले मनमनै भने, “म मेरी पत्नीको कोठामा जानेछु ।” तर उनका बुबाले तिनलाई भित्र जान दिएनन् ।
2 I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
उनका बुबाले भने, “तपाईंले उनलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ भनी मैले सोचेको थिएँ, यसैले मैले त्यसलाई तपाईंको साथमा बसेको मित्रलाई दिएँ । उनकी कान्छी बहिनी उनीन्दा सुन्दरी छिन् । तिनैलाई लैजानुहोस् ।”
3 And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यसपल्ट मैले पलिश्तीहरूलाई चोट दिंदा म निर्दोष हुनेछु ।”
4 And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.
शिमशोन गए र तिन सयवटा स्यालहरू समाते र हरेकलाई दुई-दुईचटा गरेर पुच्छर-पुच्छर बाँधिदिए । तब तिनले राँको लिएर हरेक जोडीको पुच्छरको बिचमा राखे ।
5 And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch, that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards.
जब तिनले राँकाहरूमा आगो सल्काए, तब तिनले स्यालहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूका पाकिरहेका अन्नमा छोडिदिए, र तिनीहरूले जम्मा गरेर राखिएका अन्न र खेतमा पाकेका अन्न दुवैमा, दाखवारीहरू र जैतूनका बगैंचाहरूलाई डढाए ।
6 Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father.
पलिश्तीहरूले सोधे, “यो कसले गर्यो?” तिनीहरूलाई भनियो, “तिम्नामा बसोबास गर्नेका ज्वाइँ शिमशोनले यो गरेका हुन् किनभने तिम्नाका मानिसहरूले शिमशोनकी पत्नीलाई लिए र तिनको साथमा बसेको मित्रलाई दिए ।” त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरू गएर त्यस स्त्री र त्यसका बुबालाई जलाइदिए ।
7 But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूको व्यवहार यस्तै हो भने, म तिमीहरूका विरुद्ध बदला लिनेछु, र त्यसो गरेपछि मात्र म रोकिनेछु ।”
8 And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam.
तब तिनले उनीहरूलाई कम्मर र जाँघबाट टुक्रा-टुक्रा गरी काटे र धेरैको हत्या गरे । त्यसपछि उनी तल गए र एतामको चट्टानको गुफामा बसे ।
9 Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread.
त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरू माथि आए र तिनीहरूले यहूदामा युद्धको निम्ति तयारी गरे र लहीमा आफ्ना सेनालाई तयार राखे ।
10 And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against us.
तब यहूदाका मानिसहरूले भने, “तिमीहरू किन हामीलाई आक्रमण गर्न आएका छौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “शिमशोनलाई समातौं र त्यसले हामीलाई जे गरेको छ त्यसलाई त्यस्तै गरौ भनेर हामी आक्रमण गर्दैछौं ।”
11 Wherefore three thousand men of Juda, went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them.
तब यहूदाका तिन हजार मानिसहरू एतामको चट्टानको गुफामा गए, र तिनीहरूले शिमशोनलाई भने, “के तिमीलाई थाहा छ, कि पलिश्तीहरू हाम्रा शासकहरू हुन्? यो तिमीले हामीलाई के गरेका छौ?” शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिनीहरूले मलाई जस्तो गरे, अनि मैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई त्यस्तै गरें ।”
12 And they said to him, We are come to bind thee and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me, that you will not kill me.
तिनीहरूले शिमशोनलाई भने, “तिमीलाई बाँधेर पलिश्तीहरूका हातमा दिनको निम्ति हामी यहाँ तल आएका छौं ।” शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मसँग यो शपथ खाओ कि तिमीहरू आफैंले मलाई मार्नेछैनौ ।”
13 They said: We will not kill thee: but we will deliver thee up bound. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam.
तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हामी तिमीलाई केवल डोरीले बाँध्नेछौं र तिमीलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ सुम्पिनेछौं । हामी यो प्रतिज्ञा गर्छौं, कि हामी तिमीलाई मार्नेछैनौं ।” यसैले तिनीहरूले तिनलाई दुईवटा नयाँ डोरीले बाँधे र त्यस चट्टानबाट माथि ल्याए ।
14 Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as the flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed.
जब तिनी लहीमा आए, पलिश्तीहरूले तिनलाई भेट्नेवित्तिकै ठुलो सोरमा कराउँदै आए । अनि परमप्रभुका आत्मा शक्तिको साथमा उनीमाथि आउनुभयो । तिनका पाखुराका डोरीहरू डढेका सनपाटझैं भए, र तिनीहरू तिनका हातबाट झरे ।
15 And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
शिमशोनले एउटा गधाको आलो बङ्गारो भेट्टाए, र तिनले त्यो उठाए र त्यसैले एक हजार जना मानिसलाई मारे ।
16 And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses I have destroyed them, and have slain a thousand men.
शिमशोनले भने, “एउटा गधाको बङ्गारोले रासमाथि रास पारें ।” एउटा गधाको बङ्गारोले मैले एक हजार जना मानिसलाई मारें ।”
17 And when he had ended these words singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone.
जब शिमशोनले बोलिसके, तब तिनले त्यो बङ्गारोलाई फालिदिए, र तिनले त्यस ठाउँलाई रामत-लही नाउँ राखे ।
18 Arid being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.
शिमशोन धेरै तिर्खाए र परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र भने, “तपाईंले आफ्नो दासलाई यो महान् विजय दिनुभएको छ । तर के अब म तिर्खाले मर्ने, अनि खतना नभएका मानिसहरूका हातमा पर्नेछु?”
19 Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass, and waters issued out of it. And when he had drank them he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day.
परमेश्वरले लहीमा भएको खाल्डोलाई चिरिदिनुभयो र त्यहाँबाट पानी निस्कियो । जब तिनले पानी पिए, तब तिनको शक्ति फर्कियो र तिनी ताजा भए । यसैले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ एन-हक्कोरे राखे, र आजको दिनसम्मै त्यो लहीमा छ ।
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
शिमशोनले पलिश्तीहरूको समयमा इस्राएलमा बिस वर्ष न्याय गरे ।
