Judges 3
1 These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:
यति बेला इस्राएलको अर्थात् कनानमा लडिएका कुनै पनि युद्धको अनुभव नभएका इस्राएलका हरेक व्यक्तिको जाँच गर्नलाई परमप्रभुले यी जातिहरूलाई छोडिदिनुभयो ।
2 That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:
(युद्धको विषयमा पहिले जानकरी नभएका इस्राएलीहरूका नयाँ पुस्तालाई त्यसबारे सिकाउन उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो ।)
3 The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.
ती जातिहरू यी नै हुन्: पलिश्तीहरूका पाँच राजाहरू, सबै कनानीहरू, सीदोनीहरू, र लेबनानका पर्वतहरूमा बाल-हर्मोनदेखि हमात-पाससम्म बस्ने हिव्वीहरू ।
4 And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.
इस्राएलको जाँच गर्न, अनि परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएका आज्ञाहरू तिनीहरूले पालन गर्छन् कि गर्दैनन् भनेर निश्चित रूपमा थाहा पाउनलाई यी जातिहरूलाई छोडिएको थियो ।
5 So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
यसैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू कनानीहरू, हित्तीहरू, एमोरीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, हिव्वीहरू, र यबूसीहरूसँगै बसोबास गरे ।
6 And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
तिनीहरूका छोरीहरूलाई उनीहरूले आफ्ना पत्नीहरू बनाएर ल्याए, र उनीहरूका आफ्ना छोरीहरू तिनीहरूका छोराहरूलाई दिए र तिनीहरूका उनीहरूका देवताहरूका सेवा गरे ।
7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.
परमप्रभुको नजरमा जे कुरा दुष्ट थियो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यही गरे र परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई बिर्से । तिनीहरूले बाल देवताहरू र अशेरा देवीहरूका पुजा गरे ।
8 And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they served him eight years.
यसकारण इस्राएलको विरुद्ध परमप्रभुको क्रोध आगोझैं दन्कियो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अराम नाहारैमका राजा कूशन-रिशातैमको हातमा बेचिदिनुभयो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आठ वर्षसम्म कूशन-रिशातैमको सेवा गरे ।
9 And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:
जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई सहायता गर्ने र तिनीहरूलाई बचाउने कोही एक जनालाई परमप्रभुले खडा गर्नुभयोः उनी कनाजका छोरा ओत्निएल (कालेबका भाइ) थिए ।
10 And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.
परमप्रभुको आत्माले उनलाई शक्ति दिनुभयो, र उनले इस्राएलको न्याय गरे र उनी युद्धमा गए । परमप्रभुले उनलाई अरामका राजा कूशन-रिशातैममाथि विजय दिनुभयो । ओत्निएलका हातले नै कूशन-रिशातैमलाई परास्त गरे ।
11 And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.
देशमा चालिस वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो । त्यसपछि कनजका छोरा ओत्निएलको मृत्यु भयो ।
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.
त्यसपछि, इस्राएलीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा खराब थियो, फेरि त्यही गरे, र परमप्रभुले मोआबका राजा एग्लोनलाई इस्राएलीहरूमाथि अधिकार गर्न दिनुभयो ।
13 And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
एग्लोन अम्मोनीहरू र अमालेकीहरूसँग मिले र तिनीहरू गए र इस्राएललाई हराए, अनि खजूरका रूखहरूको सहरमाथि अधिकार गरे ।
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले अठार वर्षसम्म मोआबका राजा एग्लोनको सेवा गरे ।
15 And afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.
जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको पुकारा गरे, तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नलाई परमप्रभुले कोही एक जना बेन्यामिनी गेराका छोरा देब्रे हात चलाउने मानिस एहूदलाई खडा गर्नुभयो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले उनको साथमा मोआबका राजा एग्लोनकहाँ कर पठाए ।
16 And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
एहूदले आफ्नो निम्ति एक हात लामो दुई धारे तरवार बनाए । त्यो तिनले आफ्नो दाहिने जाँघमा आफ्नो लुगाभित्र बाँधे ।
17 And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.
तिनले मोआबका राजा एग्लोनलाई त्यो कर तिरे । (एग्लोन धेरै मोटो मानिस थिए ।)
18 And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.
एहूदले कर तिरिसकेपछि, ती ल्याउनेहरूसँगै उनी फर्के ।
19 Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,
गिलगालको नजिक कुँदेर बनाएका मुर्तिहरूको ठाउँमा जसै एहूद पुगे, उनी फर्के र फिर्ता गए, र भने, “मेरा राजा, तपाईंको निम्ति मसँग एउटा गुप्त सन्देश छ ।” एग्लोनले भने, “शान्त होओ!” यसैले उनको सेवा गर्ने सबैले त्यो कोठा छोडेर बाहिर गए ।
20 Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,
एहूद तिनीकहाँ आए । राजाचाहिं माथिल्लो शीतल कक्षमा एक्लै बसिरहेका थिए । एहूदले भने, “मसँग तपाईंको निम्ति परमेश्वरको एउटा सन्देश छ ।” राजा आफ्नो ठाउँबाट उठे ।
21 And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,
एहूदले आफ्नो देब्रे हातले आफ्नो दाहिने जाँघबाट तरवार झिके, र त्यो तिनले राजाको शरीरमा रोपिदिए ।
22 With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.
त्यो तरवार बींडसितै छिर्यो । उनको पछिल्तिरबाट त्यो तरवारको टुप्पो निस्कियो र बोसोले त्यसलाई ढाक्यो, अनि एहूदले उनको पेटबाट त्यो तरवार झिकेनन् ।
23 But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,
त्यसपछि एहूद कौसीमा निस्के र माथिल्लो कक्षका आफू पछाडिका ढोकाहरू थुनिदिए र ताल्चा लगाइदिए ।
24 Went out by a postern door. And the king’s servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.
एहूद गइसकेपछि, राजाका सेवकहरू आए । तिनीहरूले माथिल्लो कक्षका ढोकाहरूमा ताल्चा लागेको देखे । यसैले तिनीहरूले विचार गरे, “पक्कै पनि उहाँ माथिल्लो शीतल कक्षमा दिसा गरिरहनुभएको होला ।”
25 And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
राजाले माथिल्लो कक्षका ढोकाहरू नखोलेपछि, आफ्नो जिम्मेवारी पुरा नगरेकोझैं तिनीहरूलाई महसुस भएको हुनाले तिनीहरूलाई चिन्ता भयो । यसैले तिनीहरूले साँचो लिए र ढोकाहरू खोले, र आफ्ना मालिकलाई भुइँमा मृत अवस्थामा ढलेको देखे ।
26 But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:
अब के गर्ने भनेर सेवकहरू कुरिरहेका बेला, एहूद भागेर कुँदेर बनाइएका मुर्तिहरू भएका ठाउँभन्दा पर पुगे, र उनी सीरामा भागे ।
27 And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.
जब उनी आइपुगे, उनले एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा तुरही फुके । त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू उनीसँगै पहाडहरूबाट तल ओर्ले, र उनले तिनीहरूलाई नेतृत्व गरे ।
28 And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो पछि लाग, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका शत्रु मोआबीहरूलाई परास्त गर्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।” तिनीहरू उनको पछि लागे र तिनीहरूले मोआबीहरूबाट यर्दनका जँघारहरू लिए, र तिनीहरूले कसैलाई पनि त्यो नदी तर्न दिएनन् ।
29 But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.
त्यस बेला तिनीहरूले मोआबका दश हजार मानिसहरूलाई मरे, र तिनीहरू सबै बलिया र सक्षम मानिसहरू थिए । एउटा पनि उम्केन ।
30 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.
यसैले त्यस दिन मोआब इस्राएलको शासनको अधीनमा आयो, र देशमा असी वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो ।
31 After him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
एहूदपछि अनातका छोरा शमगर अर्का न्यायकर्ता भए जसले पाल्तु पशु धपाउने लौरोले पलिश्तीहरूका छ सय मानिसहरूलाई मरे । उनले इस्राएललाई खतराबाट पनि छुट्कारा दिए ।
