Judges 16
1 And Samson went to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
शिमशोन गाजामा गए र त्यहाँ एउटी वेश्यालाई देखे, र तिनी त्यससँग ओछ्यानमा गए ।
2 [And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, [Let be] till morning light, then we will kill him.
गाजाका मानिसहरूलाई यस्तो भनियो, “शिमशोन यहाँ आएको छ ।” गाजाका मानिसहरूले त्यस ठाउँलाई घेरे र गुप्तमा तिनीहरूले सारा रात सहरको ढोकामा कुरे । तिनीहरू रातभर शान्त बसे । तिनीहरूले यसो भनेका थिए, “दिनको उज्यालो नभएसम्म हामी कुरौं, र त्यसपछि उसलाई हामी मारौं ।”
3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
शिमशोन मध्यरातसम्म ओछ्यानमा पल्टे । मध्यरातमा तिनी उठे र तिनले सहरको ढोका र त्यसका दुईवटा खम्बालाई समाते । तिनले बारसहित ती जमिनबाट उखेले, र ती आफ्ना काँधमा राखे, र हेब्रोनको सामुन्ने डाँडाको चुचुरासम्म बोकेर लगे ।
4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
यसपछि, शिमशोन सोरेकको बेसीमा बस्ने गर्ने एक जना स्त्रीसँग प्रेममा परे । त्यसको नाउँ दलीला थियो ।
5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.
पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू त्यस स्त्रीकहाँ आए, र भने, “शिमशोनलाई छल गरेर त्यसको त्यो ठुलो बल केमा रहेको छ, र कसरी हामी त्यसको शक्तिलाई हामी हराउन सक्छौं भन्ने कुरा थाहा गर, ताकि हामीले त्यसलाई बाँधेर त्यसलाई लज्जीत पार्न सकौं । यो काम गर, र हामी हरेकले तिमीलाई चाँदीका १,१०० सिक्का दिनेछौं ।”
6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
तब दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनिन्, “कृपया मलाई बताउनुहोस्, कि तपाईं कसरी यस्तो बलियो हुनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंलाई नियन्त्रण गर्नको निम्ति तपाईंलाई कसरी बाँध्न सकिन्छ?”
7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.
शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिनीहरूले मलाई नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदाले बाँधे भने, म कमजोर हुनेछु र अरू साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
तब पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदा ल्याएर दलीलालाई दिए, र त्यसले शोमशोनलाई ती ताँदाले बाँधी ।
9 Now she had liers in wait abiding in the inner chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
त्यस स्त्रीको भित्री कोठामा त्यसले गुप्तमा मानिसहरू लुकाएकी थिई । त्यसले तिनलाई भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तर तिनले ती धनुका ताँदालाई आगोमा परेका सनपाटका धागाहरूझैं छिनाइदिए । यसैले तिनको शक्तिको रहस्य खोलिएन ।
10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
त्यसपछि दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनी, “तपाईंले मलाई धोका दिनुभएको छ र मलाई झुटो बोल्नुभएको छ । कृपया, मलाई बताउनुहोस् तपाईंलाई कसरी नियन्त्रण गर्न सकिन्छ ।”
11 And he said unto her, If they only bind me with new ropes wherewith no work hath been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.
तिनले त्यसलाई भने, “कहिल्यै कामको निम्ति प्रयोग नभएका नयाँ डोरीले तिनीहरूले मलाई बाँधे भने म कमजोर हुनेछु र साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
12 So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And the liers in wait were abiding in the inner chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
यसैले दलीलाले नयाँ डोरीहरू लिएर तिनलाई त्यसले बाँधी, र भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” मानिसहरू भित्री कोठामा कुरिरहेका थिए । तर शिमशोनले आफ्ना पाखुराका डोरीहरूलाई धागो छिनाएझैं छिनाइदिए ।
13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनी, “अहिलेसम्म त तपाईंले मलाई धोका दिनुभएको छ र मसँग झुटो बोल्नुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई कसरी नियन्त्रमा लिन सकिन्छ मलाई बताउनुहोस् ।” शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिमीले मेरो कपालका सातवटा लट्टालाई तानमा बुनेर कीलामा कसेर राख्यौ भने म अरू मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and the web.
जब तिनी निदाए, दलीलाले उनका कपालका सातवटा लट्टा बनाई तानमा बुनेर कीलामा कसरे राखी, अनि त्यसले उनलाई भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तिनी आफ्नो निद्राबाट उठे र तानसमेत कीला उखेलिदिए ।
15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
त्यसले उनलाई भनी, “तपाईंले मलाई कसरी ‘म तिमीलाई प्रेम गर्छु’ भन्न सक्नुहुन्छ, जब कि तपाईंले आफ्ना गोप्य कुराहरू मलाई बताउनुहुन्न? तिन पटक तपाईंले मेरो उपहास गर्नुभएको छ र तपाईंसँग यस्तो महाबल कसरी आउँछ भनेर भन्नुभएको छैन ।”
16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death.
हरेक दिन त्यसले तिनलाई यही कुरा गरेर दबाब दिई, र त्यसले यति दबाब दिई, कि तिनले मर्ने इच्छा गरे ।
17 And he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazirite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
यसैले शिमशोनले त्यसलाई हरेक कुरा भने र तिनलाई यसो भनिदिए, “मेरो शिरको कपालमा कहिल्यै पनि मैले खौरेको छैन, किनभने मेरी आमाको गर्भदेखि नै म परमेश्वरको निम्ति एक नाजिरी भएको छु । मेरो कपाल खौरियो भने, मेरो शक्ति मबाट जानेछ, र म कमजोर र सामान्य मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought the money in their hand.
दलीलाले तिनले सबै सत्य कुरा बताएको देखेपछि, त्यसले यसो भनेर पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूलाई बोलाई, “आउनुहोस्, किनभने तिनले मलाई सबै कुरा बताएका छन् ।” त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले आफ्ना हातमा चाँदी लिएर त्यसकहाँ गए ।
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
त्यसले तिउनलाई आफ्नो काखमा सुताई । तिनको शिरको सातवटा लट्टा खौरिदिन त्यसले एक जना मानिसलाई बोलाई, र त्यसले तिनलाई काबूमा पार्न लागी, किनभने तिनको शक्ति हटिसकेको थियो ।
20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times, and shake myself. But he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
त्यसले भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तिनी आफ्नो निद्राबाट उठे र भने, “म अरू बेलाझैं उम्कनेछु र आफूलाई छुटाउनेछु ।” तर परमप्रभुले तिनलाई छोडिसाक्नुभएको छ भन्ने तिनलाई थाहा थिएन ।
21 And the Philistines laid hold on him, and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
पलिश्तीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनका आँखा निकालिदिए । उनीहरूले तिनलाई गाजामा ल्याएर काँसाका साङ्लाले बाँधे । तिनी झ्यालखानामा जाँतो पिंध्न थाले ।
22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
तर तिनको शिरमा कपाल खौरपछि फेरि पलाउन थाल्यो ।
23 And the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू आफ्ना देवता दागोनलाई महान् बलि चढाउन र आनन्द मनाउन एकसाथ भेला भए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रा देवताले हामीहरूका शत्रु शिमशोनलाई जिते र हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।”
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which hath slain many of us.
जब मानिसहरूले तिनलाई देखे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताको प्रशंसा गरे, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रो देशलाई नाश गर्ने, र हामीमध्ये धेरैलाई मार्ने हामीहरूका शत्रुलाई हाम्रो देवताले जित हासिल गरे हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।”
25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made sport before them: and they set him between the pillars.
जब तिनीहरू उत्सव मनाउँदै थिए, तब तिनीहरूले भने, “शिमशोनलाई बोलाओ, ताकि त्यसले हामीलाई हँसाओस् ।” तिनीहरूले शिमशोनलाई झ्यालखानाबाट बाहिर झिके र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई हँसाए । उनीहरूले तिनलाई खम्बाहरूका बिचमा खडा गरेका थिए ।
26 and Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house resteth, that I may lean upon them.
शिमशोनका आफ्नो हात समाइरहेको केटोलाई भने, “यो मन्दिर अडाउने खम्बाहरू मलाई छुन देऊ, ताकि म तिनमा अडेस लगाउन सकूँ ।”
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
त्यो मन्दिर पुरुष र स्त्रीहरूले भरिएको थियो । पलिश्तीहरूका सबै शासकहरू त्यहीं नै थिए । छतमा करिब तिन हजार पुरुष र स्त्रीहरू थिए । शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई मनोरन्जन दिंदा हेरिरहेका थिए ।
28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember member me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
शिमशोनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र भने, “परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, मेरो सम्झना गर्नुहोस्! परमेश्वर, कृपया मलाई एकपटक मात्र शक्ति दिनुहोस्, ताकि मेरा दुई आँखाको साटो मैले यी पलिश्तीहरूसँग एकै पटकमा बदला लिन सकूँ ।”
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and leaned upon them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
त्यस मन्दिरलाई अडाउने बिचका दुई खम्बालाई शिमशोनले समाए र एउटा खम्बालाई आफ्नो दाहिने हात र अर्कोलाई आफ्नो देब्रे हातले समाएर ती ठेले ।
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
शिमशोनले भने, “मलाई पलिश्तीहरूसँगै मर्न दिनुहोस्!” तिनले आफ्नो बल लगाएर हातहरू पसारे र त्यो मन्दिर सबै शासकहरू र त्यहाँ भएका सबै मानिसहरूमाथि खस्यो । यसरी तिनी आफू मर्दा आफ्नो जीवनभरमा मरेका भन्दा धेरैलाई मारे ।
31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
तब तिनका दाजुभाइ र तिनका बुबाका घरानाका सबै त्यहाँ आए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई लगे अनि तिनका बुबा मानोहको चिहानमा सोरा र एश्लोतको बिचमा तिनलाई दफन गरे । शिमशोनले इस्राएलमा बिस वर्ष न्याय गरेका थिए ।
