न्यायकर्ताहरू 1

1 यहोशूको मृत्युपछि, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसो भनेर सोधे, “हाम्रा निम्ति कनानीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध लड्‍नलाई तिनीहरूलाई पहिला कसले आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ?”

AND IT came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying: 'Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?'

2 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “यहूदाले आक्रमण गर्नेछ । हेर, मैले तिनीहरूलाई यस देशमाथि अधिकार दिएको छु ।”

And LORD said: 'Judah shall go up; behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.'

3 यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइ शिमियोनीहरूलाई यसो भने, “हामीलाई दिइएको इलाकामा हामीसँग आओ, यसरी कनानीहरूका विरुद्ध हामीले एकसाथ युद्ध लड्‍न सक्‍छौं । त्‍यसरी नै हामी पनि तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको इलाकामा तिमीहरूसँग जानेछौं ।” यसैले शिमियोनी कुल तिनीहरूसँग गए ।

And Judah said unto Simeon his brother: 'Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot.' So Simeon went with him.

4 यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आक्रमण गरे, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई कनानीहरू र परिज्‍जीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूले बेजेकमा तिनीहरूका दश हजार जनालाई मारे ।

And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 तर अदोनी-बेजेक भागे, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई लखेटे र समाए, र तिनीहरूले उनका हात र खुट्टाका बुढी औंला काटिदिए ।

But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7 अदोनी-बेजेकले भने, “हात र खुट्टाका बुढी औंला काटिएका सत्तरी जना राजाले मेरो टेबिलको मुनिबाट आफ्‍नो निम्ति भोजन बाटुल्‍थे । मैले जस्तो गरेको थिएँ, परमेश्‍वरले मलाई त्यस्तै गर्नुभएको छ ।” तिनीहरूले उनलाई यरूशलेममा ल्याए, र उनी त्यहीं मरे ।

And Adoni-bezek said: 'Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered food under my table; as I have done, so God hath requited me.' And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba — and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir — now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.

12 कालेबले भने, “जसले किर्यत-सेपेरलाई आक्रमण गर्छ र त्यसलाई लिन्‍छ, त्यसको पत्‍नी हुनलाई मेरी छोरी अक्सालाई म दिनेछु ।”

And Caleb said: 'He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.'

13 कालेबका भाइ कनजका छोरा, ओत्‍निएलले दबीरमाथि कब्जा गरे, यसैले कालेबले आफ्नी छोरी अक्सा तिनकी पत्‍नी हुनलाई दिए ।

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

14 चाँडै नै अक्सा ओत्‍निएलकहाँ आइन्, र आफ्ना बुबासँग तिनको निम्ति एउटा जमिन मागिदिनलाई बिन्ती गरिन् । तिनी आफ्नो गधाबाट तल झर्दै गर्दा, कालेबले तिनलाई सोधे, “तिम्रो निम्ति म के गर्न सक्‍छु?”

And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field; and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her: 'What wouldest thou?'

15 तिनले उनलाई भनिन्, “मलाई एउटा आशिष् दिनुहोस् । तपाईंले मलाई नेगेवको भूमि दिनुभएको छ, मलाई पानीका मूलहरू पनि दिनुहोस् ।” यसैले कालेबले तिनलाई माथिल्लो र तल्लो पानीका मूलहरू दिए ।

19 परमप्रभु यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तिनीहरूले पहाडी देशमाथि अधिकार गरे, तर तिनीहरूले मैदानका बासिन्दाहरूलाई बाहिर निकाल्न सकेनन्, किनभने तिनीहरूसँग फलामका रथहरू थिए ।

And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el — now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.

24 ती जासुसहरूले सहरबाट एक जना मानिस बाहिर निस्कँदै गरेको देखे, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भने, “सहरभित्र कसरी प्रवेश गर्ने भनेर कृपया हामीलाई देखाउनुहोस्, र तपाईंप्रति हामी दयालु हुनेछौं ।”

And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him: 'Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.'

25 उसले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो सहरभित्र जाने बाटो देखायो, र यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो सहरलाई तरवारको धारले आक्रमण गरे, तर तिनीहरूले त्यस मानिस र उसका जम्मै परिवारलाई जान दिए ।

And he showed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
