Judges 5
1 On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
त्यो दिन दबोरा र अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराकले यो गीत गाए:
2 “When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
“जब अगुवाहरूले इस्राएललाई नेतृत्व गर्छन्, जब मानिसहरू युद्धको निम्ति स्वइच्छाले राजी हुन्छन्, तब हामी परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छौं!
3 Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
ए राजाहरू, सुन! ए अगुवाहरू ध्यान देओ! म परमप्रभुको निम्ति गाउनेछु । म इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गाउनेछु ।
4 O Yahweh, when you came from Seir, when you marched from that land [better known as] Edom, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the skies.
हे परमप्रभु, जब तपाईं सेइरबाट बाहिर निस्कनुभयो, जब तपाईं एदोमबाट हिंड्नुभयो, तब पृथ्वी काँप्यो, र आकाश पनि थरथर डरायो । अनि बादलहरूले पानी झारे ।
5 The mountains shook when you came, just like Sinai Mountain shook when you appeared there, because you are Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.
परमप्रभुको मुहारको सामु पहाडहरू थरथर डराए । इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको मुहारको सामु सिनै पर्वत पनि थरथर काँप्यो ।
6 “When Shamgar was our leader and when Jael ruled us, [we were afraid to walk on] the main roads; instead, caravans of travelers walked on winding [less traveled] roads [to avoid being molested].
शमगर (अनातका छोरा) को समयमा, याएलको समयमा, मुल बाटोहरू त्यागिएका थिए, अनि पदयात्रीहरूले घुमाउरा बाटोहरू मात्र प्रयोग गरे ।
7 People left their small villages, [and moved into the walled cities] until I, Deborah, became their leader. [I became like] a mother to the Israeli people.
म, दबोरा, इस्राएलकी आमाको रूपमा खडा नभएसम्म, इस्राएलका गाउँहरूमा थोरै मानिसहरू मात्र थिए!
8 When the Israeli people [abandoned Yahweh and] chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then [they took away] the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
जब तिनीहरूले नयाँ देवताहरू चुने, तब त्यहाँ सहरका मुल ढोकाहरूमा युद्ध हुन्थ्यो र पनि त्यहाँ इस्राएलमा भएका चालिस हजार जनासँग कुनै ढाल वा भालाहरू देखिएन ।
9 I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
मेरो हृदय इस्राएलका कमाण्डरहरू र स्वइच्छाले सेवा गर्ने मानिसहरूप्रति छ । तिनीहरूका निम्ति हामी परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छौं!
10 “You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
ए सेता गधाहरूमा बसेर सवार हुनेहरू, पिठ्युँका राडीहरूमा बस्नेहरू र सडकमा हिंड्नेहरू हो, यसको बारेमा विचार गर ।
11 Listen to the voices of the singers who gather at the places where [the animals drink] water. They tell about how Yahweh acted righteously when he enabled the Israeli warriors to conquer [their enemies]. “Yahweh’s people marched down to the gates of our city.
पँधेराहरूमा गीत गाउनेहरूका सोर सुन । त्यहाँ तिनीहरू फेरि पनि परमप्रभुका धार्मिक कामहरू, र इस्राएलमा उहाँका योद्धाहरूका धार्मिक कामहरूका बारेमा बताउँछन् । अनि परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू सहरका प्रवेशद्वारहरूतिर लागे ।
12 The people came to my house and shouted, ‘Deborah, wake up! Wake up and start singing!’ They also shouted, ‘Barak, son of Abinoam, get up, and capture our enemies!’
उठ, उठ दबोरा! उठ, उठ, एउटा गीत गाऊ! ए बाराक, ए अबीनोअमका छोरा, उठ, र आफ्ना कैदीहरूलाई समाऊ ।
13 Later, some of the Israeli people came down [from Tabor Mountain] with us, their leaders. These men who belonged to Yahweh came with me to fight their strong enemies.
तब बाँचेकाहरू कुलिनहरूकहाँ आए । परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू योद्धाहरूसँग मकहाँ तल आए ।
14 Some came from the tribe descended from Ephraim. They came from land that once belonged to the descendants of Amalek. And men from the tribe descended from Benjamin followed them. Troops from the group descended from Makir also came down, and officers from the tribe descended from Zebulun came down, carrying staffs.
तिनीहरू एफ्राइमबाट आए, जसको जग अमालेकमा छ । बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू तिमीहरूका पछि आए । माकीरबाट कमाण्डरहरू, र जबूलूनबाट अधिकारीका लौरो लिनेहरू तल आए ।
15 Leaders from the tribes descended from Issachar joined Barak and me. They followed Barak, rushing down into the valley. But men from the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether or not to join us.
इस्साखारका मेरा राजकुमारहरू दबोरासित थिए । र इस्साखार बाराकसित थिए उनको पछि-पछि उनको कमाण्डमा तिनीहरू बेसीमा गए । रूबेनका कुलहरूका माझमा हृदय खोज्ने काम धेरै भयो ।
16 Why did you men stay at your sheep pens, waiting to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks of sheep to come to the pens? Men in the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether they would join us to fight our enemies, or not.
गोठालाहरूले आफ्ना बगालको निम्ति बाँसुरी बजाएको सुन्दै, तिमीहरू किन आगोका वरिपरि बस्यौ? रूबेनका कुलहरूका बारेमा हृदय खोज्ने काम धेरै भयो ।
17 Similarly, the men living in the Gilead area stayed at home, east of the Jordan River. And the men from the tribe descended from Dan, why did they stay home? The tribe descended from Asher sat by the seashore. They stayed in their coves.
गिलाद यर्दनको पारिपट्टि नै बस्यो । अनि दान, ऊ जहाजहरूमा किन घुमिरह्यो? आशेर समुद्र किनारमा नै रह्यो र आफ्ना बन्दरगाहहरूको नजिक बस्यो ।
18 But men from the tribe descended from Zebulun risked (their lives/were ready to die fighting) on the battlefield, and men descended from Naphtali were ready to do that, also.
जबूलून यस्तो कुल थियो जसले मृत्युको सामु आफ्नो प्राण जोखिममा पार्थ्यो, र नप्तालीले पनि युद्धको मैदानमा त्यसै गर्यो ।
19 “The kings of Canaan fought us at Taanach, near the springs in Megiddo [Valley]. [But since they did not defeat us], they did not carry away any silver or other treasures from the battle.
राजाहरू आए, तिनीहरू युद्ध लडे । कनानका राजाहरू मगिद्दोका खोलाहारू नजिक तानाकमा युद्ध लडे । तर तिनीहरूले लुटको रूपमा कुनै चाँदी लगेनन् ।
20 [It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
आकाशबाट ताराहरू युद्ध लडे, आकाशमा तिनीहरूका मार्गहरूबाट तिनीहरू सीसराको विरुद्धमा युद्ध लडे ।
21 The Kishon River swept them away— that river that has been there for ages. I will tell myself to be brave and continue marching on.
कीशोन खोलाले तिनीहरूलाई बगायो, त्यो पुरानो खोला, कीशोन खोला । ए मेरो प्राण, निरन्तर हिंड, शाहसी हो!
22 The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
तब घोडाहरूका टापहरूका आवाज, त्यसका शक्तिशालीहरू कुदेको आवाज आयो ।
23 The angel sent by Yahweh said, ‘Curse the people of Meroz [town], because they did not come to help Yahweh to defeat the mighty warriors [of Canaan].’
परमप्रभुका दूतले भन्छन्, ‘मेरोजलाई सराप!’ ‘त्यसमा बसोबास गर्नेहरूलाई निश्चय नै सराप! किनभने शक्तिशाली योद्धाहरूसँगको युद्धमा, तिनीहरू परमप्रभुलाई सहायता गर्न आएनन् ।’
24 “But God is very pleased with Jael, the wife of Heber from the Ken people-group. He is more pleased with her than with all the other women who live in tents.
सबै स्त्रीहरूमा याएल धेरै आशिषित छिन्, याएल (केनी हेबेरकी पत्नी), पालहरूमा बस्ने सबै स्त्रीहरूमा तिनी धेरै आशिषित छिन् ।
25 Sisera asked for some water, but Jael gave him some milk. She brought him some yogurt/curds in a bowl that was suitable for kings.
त्यो मानिसले तिनीसँग पानी माग्यो, र तिनले उसलाई दूध दिईन् । तिनले त्यसको निम्ति राजकुमारहरूलाई सुहाउँदो मक्खन राखिएको भोजन ल्याइन् ।
26 Then, [when he was asleep], she reached for a tent peg with her left hand, and she reached for a hammer with her right hand. She hit Sisera hard with it and crushed his head. She pounded the tent peg right through his head.
तिनले आफ्नो हात पालको कीलामा राखिन्, र आफ्नो दाहिने हात मुङ्ग्रोमा राखिन् । त्यही मुङ्ग्रोले तिनले सीसरालाई हिर्काइन्, तिनले त्यसको शिर कुच्याइन् । त्यसको कन्चटलाई छेडेर तिनले त्यसको खप्परलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिन् ।
27 He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
तिनका पाउनेर त्यो मर्यो, त्यो त्यहीं ढल्यो, र त्यहीं ढलिरह्यो । तिनका पाउका बिचमा त्यो ढल्यो । जहाँ त्यो ढल्यो, त्यहीं क्रुरतासित मारियो ।
28 “Sisera’s mother looked out from her window. She waited for him to return. She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot? Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’
सीसराकी आमाले झ्यालबाट हेरिन् र पीडामा चिच्याएर तिनले भनिन्, ‘उसको रथ आउनलाई किन यति ढिलो भयो? उसका रथहरू तान्ने घोडाहरूका खुट्टा बजेको आवाज किन आएन?’
29 One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
तिनका राजकुमारीमध्ये सबैभन्दा बुद्धिमान्ले जवाफ दिइन्, र तिनले आफैंलाई उही जवाफ दिइन् ।
30 ‘Perhaps they are dividing up the things and the people they captured after the battle. Each soldier will get one or two women. Sisera will get some beautiful robes, and some beautiful embroidered robes for me.’
‘के तिनीहरूले लुटका सामान पाएर आपसमा बाँडेका छैनन् र? हरेक मानिसको निम्ति एउटा कोख, वा दुईवटा कोख । सीसराको निम्ति रङ्गाइएका कपडाहरू, र बुट्टा भएका रङ्गाइएका कपडाहरूका लुटहरू, लुटेराहरूका निम्ति दुईवटा बुट्टा भएका रङ्गाइएका कपडाहरू?’
31 But [that is not what happened]! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did! And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!
यसैले, हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंका सबै शत्रुहरू नाश होऊन्! तर तपाईंका मित्रहरू आफ्नो शक्तिमा उदाएको सुर्यझैं होऊन् ।” त्यसपछि देशमा चालिस वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो ।
