Judges 2
1 And a messenger of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, And he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt, and I brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers; and I said, I will not break my covenant with you for ever.
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 But ye for your part shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; their altars shall ye throw down; but ye have not obeyed my voice: what is this ye have 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 I also have said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be evil neighbors to you, and their gods shall become a snare unto 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 And it came to pass, when the messenger of the Lord spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
जब परमप्रभुका दूतले यी वचन इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई भने, तब मानिसहरू चिच्चाए र रोए ।
5 And they called the name of that place, Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.
तिनीहरूले त्यस ठाउँलाई बोकीम नाउँ दिए । त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान चढाए ।
6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to take possession of the land.
अब यहोशूले मानिसहरूलाई आ-आफ्नो बाटोमा पठाएका थिए, इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आ-आफ्नो जमिनमाथि अधिकार गर्न ती ठाउँहरूमा गए ।
7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days after Joshua, who had seen all the great deeds 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 Then died Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, being one hundred and ten years old.
परमप्रभुका सेवक नूनका छोरा यहोशूको ११० वर्षको उमेरमा मृत्यु भयो ।
9 And they buried him on the border of his inheritance in Timnath-cheres, in the mountain of Ephraim, on the north side of mount Ga'ash.
तिनीहरूले उनलाई गाश पर्वतको उत्तरपट्टि, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देश, तिम्नथ-हेरेसमा उनको अधिकारमा दिइएको जमिनको सिमानाभित्र गाडे ।
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who knew not the Lord, and likewise not the deeds 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 the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and served the Be'alim:
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा दुष्ट थियो त्यही गरे र तिनीहरूले बाल देवताको सेवा गरे ।
12 And they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went after other gods, of the gods of the nations that were round about them, and they bowed themselves unto them, and incensed the Lord.
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 forsook the Lord, and served Baal and 'Ashtaroth.
तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट टाढा भए, र बाल तथा अश्तोरेत देवताको पुजा गरे ।
14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers who spoiled them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they were not able any longer to stand before their enemies.
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 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had spoken, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
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 And the Lord raised up judges, and they delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले न्यायकर्ताहरू खडा गर्नुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूका धन-सम्पत्ति लुट्नेहरूका हातबाट तिनीहरूलाई बचाए ।
17 But also unto their judges they did not hearken; but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked in, to obey the commandments of the Lord; they did not 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 when the Lord raised them up judges, then was the Lord with the judge, and he delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord bethought himself because of their groaning by reason of those that oppressed them and ill-treated 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 And it came to pass, when the judge died, that they returned, and became more corrupt than their fathers, in going after other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them: they omitted nothing from their doings, and from their stubborn way.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he said, For the cause that this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto 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 So will I also for my part not drive out henceforth any man from before them out of the nations which Joshua left when he died;
यहोशू मृत्यु हुँदा, त्यसले बाँकी छोडेका सबै जातिलाई म अबदेखि उसो तिनीहरूका सामुबाट धपाउनेछैनँ ।
22 In order to prove through them the Israelites, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झै परमप्रभुको मार्गलाई पछ्याएर ती मार्गमा हिंड्नेछन् या छैनन् भनेर जाँच्नको निम्ति म यसो गर्नेछु ।”
23 And thus did the Lord leave these nations, so as not to drive them out speedily; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
यसकारण परमप्रभुले ती जातिहरूलाई छोडिदिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई तुरुन्तै धपाउनुभएन र यहोशूको हातमा सुम्पनुभएन ।
