Judges 2
1 The angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, "I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you:
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 and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?
यस देशमा बस्नेहरूसँग तिमीहरूले कुनै करार गर्नुहुँदैन । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू भत्कानुपर्छ ।’ तर तिमीहरूले मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरेका छैनौ । तिमीहरूले यो के गरेका छौ?
3 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they will become your adversaries, and their gods shall be a snare to 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 It happened, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to 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 They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
तिनीहरूले त्यस ठाउँलाई बोकीम नाउँ दिए । त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान चढाए ।
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
अब यहोशूले मानिसहरूलाई आ-आफ्नो बाटोमा पठाएका थिए, इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आ-आफ्नो जमिनमाथि अधिकार गर्न ती ठाउँहरूमा गए ।
7 The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked 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 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old.
परमप्रभुका सेवक नूनका छोरा यहोशूको ११० वर्षको उमेरमा मृत्यु भयो ।
9 They buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
तिनीहरूले उनलाई गाश पर्वतको उत्तरपट्टि, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देश, तिम्नथ-हेरेसमा उनको अधिकारमा दिइएको जमिनको सिमानाभित्र गाडे ।
10 And all that generation were also gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, nor the works 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 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals;
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 brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked the LORD to anger.
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 They forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट टाढा भए, र बाल तथा अश्तोरेत देवताको पुजा गरे ।
14 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of marauders who plundered them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could not any longer 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 Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for harm, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were in great distress.
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 The LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले न्यायकर्ताहरू खडा गर्नुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूका धन-सम्पत्ति लुट्नेहरूका हातबाट तिनीहरूलाई बचाए ।
17 Yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not do 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 When the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled 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 But it happened, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they did not cease from their practices, and they did not turn aside from their stubborn ways.
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 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, "Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed 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 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
यहोशू मृत्यु हुँदा, त्यसले बाँकी छोडेका सबै जातिलाई म अबदेखि उसो तिनीहरूका सामुबाट धपाउनेछैनँ ।
22 that by them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not."
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झै परमप्रभुको मार्गलाई पछ्याएर ती मार्गमा हिंड्नेछन् या छैनन् भनेर जाँच्नको निम्ति म यसो गर्नेछु ।”
23 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
यसकारण परमप्रभुले ती जातिहरूलाई छोडिदिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई तुरुन्तै धपाउनुभएन र यहोशूको हातमा सुम्पनुभएन ।
