Judges 21
1 And the men of Israel have sworn in Mizpeh, saying, 'None of us doth give his daughter to Benjamin for a wife.'
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मिस्पामा एउटा प्रतिज्ञा गरेका थिए, “हामीहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि आफ्नी छोरीलाई बेन्यामीनीलाई विवाह गरेर दिनेछैनौं ।”
2 And the people come in to Beth-El, and sit there till the evening before God, and lift up their voice, and weep — a great weeping,
त्यसपछि मानिसहरू बेथेलमा गए र साँझसम्म परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने बसे, र तिनीहरू ठुलो स्वरले धरुधुरु रोए ।
3 and say, 'Why, O Jehovah, God of Israel, hath this been in Israel — to be lacking to-day, from Israel, one tribe?'
तिनीहरूले यसो भनी पुकारा गरे, “हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, इस्राएलमा हामीमध्येको एउटा कुलचाहिं आजको दिनामा किन विलिन भयो?”
4 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the people rise early, and build there an altar, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
भोलिपल्ट मानिसहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र त्यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाए र होमबलिहरू र मेलबलिहरू चढाए ।
5 And the sons of Israel say, 'Who [is] he that hath not come up in the assembly out of all the tribes of Israel unto Jehovah?' for the great oath hath been concerning him who hath not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh, saying, 'He is surely put to death.'
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले भने, “परमप्रभुको सभामा इस्राएलका कुलमध्ये कुनचाहिं आएन?” किनकि मिस्पामा परमप्रभुकहाँ नआउनेको बारेमा तिनीहरूले एउटा महत्त्वपूर्ण निर्णय गरेका थिए । तिनीहरूले भने, “त्यो निश्चय नै मारिनेछ ।”
6 And the sons of Israel repent concerning Benjamin their brother, and say, 'There hath been to-day cut off one tribe from Israel,
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा तिनीहरूका दाजुभाइ बेन्यामिनीहरू प्रति दया जाग्यो । तिनीहरूले भने, “आज इस्राएलबाट एउटा कुल बाहिरिएको छ ।
7 what do we do for them — for those who are left — for wives, and we — we have sworn by Jehovah not to give to them of our daughters for wives?'
बाँकी भएकाहरूलाई कसले पत्नीहरू दिनेछन्, किनकि हामी कसैले पनि आफ्ना छोरीहरू तिनीहरूलाई विवाह गरेर दिनेछैनौं भनेर परमप्रभुसँग प्रतिज्ञा गरेका छौं?”
8 And they say, 'Who is [that] one out of the tribes of Israel who hath not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh?' and lo, none hath come in unto the camp from Jabesh-Gilead — unto the assembly.
तिनीहरूले भने, “मिस्पामा परमप्रभुकहाँ इस्राएलका कुनचाहिं कुल आएनन्?” याबेश-गिलादबाट कोही पनि सभामा आएका थिएनन् भन्ने कुरा थाहा भयो ।
9 And the people numbered themselves, and lo, there is not there a man of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead.
किनकि मानिसहरूलाई मिलाएर राखेर गन्ती गर्दा, हेर, याबेश-गिलादका कोही पनि बासिन्दा त्यहाँ थिएनन् ।
10 And the company send there twelve thousand men of the sons of valour, and command them, saying, 'Go — and ye have smitten the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead by the mouth of the sword, even the women and the infants.
त्यस सभाले आफ्ना बाह्र हजार वीरहरूलाई याबेश गिलादका स्त्री र बालबालिका सहित सबै बासिन्दाहरूलाई तरवारको धारले प्रहार गर्ने सुझावहरू दिएर पठाए ।
11 And this [is] the thing which ye do; every male, and every woman knowing the lying of a male, ye devote.'
“यस्तो गर्नू: हरेक पुरुष र मानिससँग सहवास गरेका स्त्रीलाई मार्नू ।”
12 And they find out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women, virgins, who have not known man by the lying of a male, and they bring them in unto the camp at Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan.
याबेश-गिलादमा बस्नेहरूमध्ये ती मानिसहरूले चार सय यस्ता जवान स्त्रीहरू भेट्टाए को कहिल्यै कुनै मानिससँग सुतेका थिएनन्, र तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई कनानमा शीलोको छाउनीमा लगे ।
13 And all the company send, and speak, unto the sons of Benjamin who [are] in the rock Rimmon, and proclaim to them peace;
सारा सभाले रिम्मोनको चट्टानमा भएका बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूलाई सन्देश पठाए र तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई शान्तिको प्रस्ताव राखेका थिए ।
14 and Benjamin turneth back at that time, and they give to them the women whom they have kept alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead, and they have not found for [all of] them so.
ती बेन्यामीनीहरू त्यो समयमा फर्के र तिनीहरूलाई याबेश गिलादका स्त्रीहरू दिइयो । तर तिनीहरू सबैका निम्ति पुग्ने स्त्रीहरू थिएनन् ।
15 And the people repented concerning Benjamin, for Jehovah had made a breach among the tribes of Israel.
बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई जे भयो त्यसको निम्ति मानिसहरू दुःखित थिए, किनभने परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका कुलहरूका बिचमा विभाजन गराउनुभएको थियो ।
16 And the elders of the company say, 'What do we do to the remnant for wives — for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?'
त्यसपछि सभाका अगुवाहरूले भने, “बाँकी भएका बेन्यामीनीहरूका निम्ति पत्नीहरू हामी कसरी जुटाउनेछौं? किनभने बेन्यामीनी स्त्रीहरू मारिएका छन् ।”
17 And they say, 'A possession of an escaped party [is] to Benjamin, and a tribe is not blotted out from Israel;
तिनीहरूले भने, “बेन्यामीनका बाँचेकाहरूको निम्ति एउटा उत्तराधिकार हुनुपर्छ, ताकि इस्राएलबाट एउटा कुलको नाश नहोस् ।
18 and we — we are not able to give to them wives out of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [is] he who is giving a wife to Benjamin.'
हामीले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना छोरीहरूबाट पत्नीहरू दिन सक्दैनौं, किनकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले प्रतिज्ञा गरेका थिए, “बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई पत्नी दिने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति श्रापित होस् ।’”
19 And they say, 'Lo, a festival of Jehovah [is] in Shiloh, from time to time, which [is] on the north of Beth-El, at the rising of the sun, by the highway which is going up from Beth-El to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.'
यसैले तिनीहरूले भने, “तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छ, कि हरेक वर्ष शीलोमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा भोज हुन्छ (जुनचाहिं बेथेलको उत्तरमा, बेथेलबाट शकेमजाने बाटोको पूर्व, र लबोनाको दक्षिणमा पर्छ) ।”
20 And they command the sons of Benjamin, saying, 'Go — and ye have laid wait in the vineyards,
तिनीहरूले बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनेर निर्देशन दिए, “गुप्तमा लुक र दाखबारीहरूमा पर्ख ।
21 and have seen, and lo, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances — then ye have gone out from the vineyards, and caught for you each his wife out of the daughters of Shiloh, and gone to the land of Benjamin;
शीलोबाट युवतीहरू नाच्नलाई बाहिर निस्कने समयलाई हेर । तब दाखबारीहरूबाट बाहिर निस्क र तिमीहरू हरेकले शीलोबाट युवतीललाई आफ्नी पत्नीको रूपमा लिएर बेन्यामीनको भूमिमा फर्क ।
22 and it hath been, when their fathers or their brethren come in to plead unto us, that we have said unto them, Favour us [by] them, for we have not taken [to] each his wife in battle, for ye — ye have not given to them at this time [that] ye are guilty.'
जब तिनीहरूका बुबा वा दाजुभाइहरू हाम्रो विरोध गर्न हामीकहाँ आउँछन्, तब हामी तिनीहरूलाई भन्नेछौं, ‘हामीमाथि कृपा गर्नुहोस्! तिनीहरूलाई रहन दिनुहोस् किनभने हामीले युद्धको बेला हरेक मानिसको निम्ति पत्नी दिएनौं । तपाईंहरू निर्दोष हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना छोरीहरू दिनुभएको होइन ।’”
23 And the sons of Benjamin do so, and take women according to their number, out of the dancers whom they have taken violently away; and they go, and turn back unto their inheritance, and build the cities, and dwell in them.
बेन्यामीनी मानिसहरूले त्यस्तै गरे । तिनीहरूले नाचिरहेका युवतीहरूबाट पत्नीहरू लिए र तिनीहरूसँगै अगि बढे । तिनीहरू आफ्नै उत्तराधिकारको ठाउँमा फर्केर गए । तिनीहरूले नगरहरू बनाए र त्यसमा बसोबास गरे ।
24 And the sons of Israel go up and down thence at that time, each to his tribe, and to his family; and they go out thence each to his inheritance.
तब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यो ठाउँ छोडे, अनि हरेक व्यक्ति आ-आफ्नै कुल, र वंशमा र हरेक व्यक्ति आ-आफ्नै उत्तराधिकारको घरमा गए ।
25 In those days there is no king in Israel; each doth that which is right in his own eyes.
ती दिनहरूमा इस्राएलमा कोही पनि राजा थिएन । हरेक व्यक्तिले आ-आफ्नो दृष्टिमा जे ठिक लाग्यो त्यही गर्थ्यो ।
