न्यायकर्ताहरू 10
1 अबीमेलेकपछि, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको शामीरमा बसोबास गर्ने इस्साखारका एक जना मानिस, दोदोका नाति पुवाका छोरा तोला इस्राएललाई छुटकारा दिनको निम्ति खडा भए ।
After Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah and grandson of Dodo became the leader to rescue the Israeli people [from their enemies]. He belonged to the tribe of Issachar, but he lived in Shamir [city] in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live.
2 तिनले तेईस वर्षसम्म इस्राएलको न्याय गरे । तिनी मरे र तिनलाई शामीरमा दफन गरियो ।
He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
3 तिनी पछि गिलादी याईर आए । तिनले बाईस वर्षसम्म इस्राएलको न्याय गरे ।
After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
4 तिनका तिस जना छोराहरू थिए जो तिसवटा गधाहरूमा सवार हुन्थे र तिनीहरूका तिसवटा सहरहरू थिए, जसलाई आजको दिनसम्म हब्बात याईर भनिन्छ, जुन गिलाद देशमा पर्छ ।
He had thirty sons, and each of them had his own donkey to ride on. They each controlled a different town in [the] Gilead [region]. That region is still named ‘The Towns of Jair’.
5 याईर मरे र उनलाई कामोनमा दफन गरियो ।
When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
6 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो त्यही गरेका कुरामाथि तिनीहरूले झमै थप गरे र बाल देवताहरू र अश्तोरेत देवीहरू, अरामका देवताहरू, सीदोनका देवताहरू, मोआबका देवताहरू, अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका देवताहरू र पलिश्तीहरूका देवीहरूको पुजा गरे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई त्यागे र फेरि उहाँको आराधना गरेनन् ।
Again the Israelis did things that Yahweh said were wrong/evil. They worshiped [the idols of their god] Baal and [their goddess] Astarte. They also worshiped the gods of the Aram, Sidon, Moab, and Ammon people-groups, and the gods of the Philistia people-group. They abandoned Yahweh and stopped worshiping him.
7 इस्राएलप्रति परमप्रभु रिसले क्रोधित हुनुभयो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूका हातमा र अम्मोनीहरूका हातमा बेचिदिनुभयो ।
So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
8 तिनीहरूले त्यस वर्ष इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गरे अत्याचार गरे, र अठार वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूले यर्दनपारी एमोरीहरूको देश अर्थात् गिलादमा भएका सबै इस्राएलीमाथि अत्याचार गरे ।
In that same year, those people started to oppress the Israelis who lived in [the] Gilead [region] on the east side of the Jordan [River]. That was where the Amor people-group also lived. were They caused the Israelis who lived in that region to suffer for 18 years.
9 त्यसपछि अम्मोनीहरू यहूदाको विरुद्धमा, बेन्यामीनका विरुद्धमा, र एफ्राइमका घरानाको विरुद्ध युद्ध लड्नको निम्ति यर्दनपारि गए, ताकि इस्राएल धेरै नै व्याकुल भए ।
Then the people of the Ammon people-group crossed the Jordan [River] to fight against the people of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. They caused the Israelis’ lives to be very miserable.
10 तब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसो भनेर पुकारा गरे, “हामीले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छौं, किनभने हामीले आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई त्यागेका छौ र बाल देवताहरूको पुजा गरेका छौं ।”
So the Israelis cried out to Yahweh, saying “We have sinned against you. We have abandoned you, and we have been worshiping [the idols of their god] Baal.”
11 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “के मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रीहरू, एमोरीहरू, अम्मोनीहरू, पलिश्तीहरू,
Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
12 र सीदोनीहरूबाट समत छुटकारा दिइनँ र? अमालेकीहरू र मिद्दानीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई अत्याचार गरे । तिमीहरूले मलाई पुकार्यौ, र मैले तिमीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शक्तिबाट छुटाएँ ।
and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
13 तापनि तिमीहरूले मलाई त्याग्यौ र अरू देवताहरूलाई पुज्यौ । यसकारण, मैले तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने मौकाहरू म अब निरन्तर थपिरहनेछैन ।
But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
14 जाओ र तिमीहरूले पुजा गरेका देवताहरूलाई नै पुकारा गर । तिमीहरूमाथि समस्या आइपर्दा तिनीहरूले नै तिमीहरूलाई बचाऊन् ।”
You have chosen those gods [to be the ones that you worship]. So call to them to help you. Allow them to rescue you when you have a lot of trouble!”
15 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “हामीले पाप गरेका छौं । तपाईंलाई जे असल लाग्छ त्यही हामीलाई गर्नुहोस् । कृपागरी आजको दिन मात्र हामीलाई बचाइदिनुहोस् ।”
But the Israeli people said to Yahweh, “Truly we have sinned. Punish us in whatever way you wish to, but please rescue us now!”
16 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बिचमा भएका विदेशी देवताहरू त्यागे र परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे । तब परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको दुःखलाई अरू बढी सहन सक्नुभएन ।
Then the Israelis threw away the [idols of the] gods that belonged to other people-groups, and they worshiped Yahweh again. He saw that they were suffering very much, and he felt sorry [IDM] for them.
17 अनि अम्मोनीहरू एकसाथ भेला भए र गिलादमा छाउनी हाले । इस्राएलीहरू एकसाथ भेला भए र मिस्पामा आफ्नो छाउनी हाले ।
The Ammon people-group gathered to fight [against the Israelis], and they set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region]. The Israeli men also gathered and set up their tents at Mizpah, [which was a city in Gilead].
18 गिलादका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूले एक-अर्कामा यसो भने, “अम्मोनीहरूसँग युद्ध लड्न सुरु गर्ने मानिस को हो? ऊ नै गिलादमा बस्ने सबैका अगुवा हुनेछ ।”
The Israeli leaders said, “Who will lead our soldiers to attack the Ammon people-group? The one who will lead us will become the leader of all us who live in this Gilead [region].”
