न्यायकर्ताहरू 13

1 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले फेरि परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे कुरा खराब थियो त्यही गरे, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूका हातमा चालिस वर्षसम्म सुम्पनुभयो ।

And the sons of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

2 त्यहाँ सोराबाट आएका दानको वंशका एक जना मानिस थिए, तिनको नाउँ मानोह थियो । तिनकी पत्‍नी गर्भवती हुन सकेकी थिइनन् र यसैले तिनले जन्म दिएकी थिइनन् ।

And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah, and his wife was barren, and did not bear.

3 परमप्रभुका एउटा दूत ती स्‍त्रीकहाँ देखा परे र तिनलाई भने, “तिमी गर्भवती हुन सकेकी छैनौ, र तिमीले जन्म दिएकी छैनौ, तर तिमी गर्भवती हुनेछौ र तिमीले एउटा छोरो जमाउनेछौ ।

And the agent of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou are barren, and do not bear, but thou shall conceive, and bear a son.

4 अब दाखमद्य वा कडा पेय नपिउन होसियार होऊ, र कुनै अशुद्ध कुरा नखाऊ ।

Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,

5 हेर, तिमी गर्भवती हुनेछौ र एउटा छोरो जन्माउनेछौ । उसको कपालमा छुरा लाग्‍नेछैन, किनकि त्यो बालक गर्भदेखि नै परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति नाजिरी हुनेछ, र उसले इस्राएललाई पलिश्तीहरूका हातबाट छुटकारा दिन सुरु गर्नेछ ।”

for, lo, thou shall conceive, and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. And he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

6 तब ती स्‍त्री आइन् र आफ्नो पतिलाई भनिन्, “परमप्रभुका एक जना मानिस मकहाँ आउनुभयो, र उहाँको मुहार परमेश्‍वरका दूतका झैं धेरै डरलाग्‍दो थियो । उहाँ कहाँबाट आउनुभएको हो भनेर मैले सोधिनँ, र उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो नाउँ भन्‍नुभएन ।

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the agent of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him from where he was, neither did he tell me his name,

7 उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, ‘हेर, तिमी गर्भवती हुनेछौ, र तिमीले एउटा छोरो जन्माउनेछौ । यसैले दाखमद्य वा कडा पेय नपिउनू, र व्यवस्थाले अशुद्ध भनेर घोषणा गरेको कुनै कुरा नखानू, किनभने त्‍यो बालक तिम्रो गर्भदेखि उसको मृत्युको दिनसम्म नै परमप्रभुको निम्ति नाजिरी हुनेछ ।’”

but he said to me, Behold, thou shall conceive, and bear a son. And now drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.

8 त्यसपछि मानोहले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे र यसो भने, “हे, परमप्रभु, तपाईंले पठाउनुभएका परमेश्‍वरका मानिसलाई फेरि हामीकहाँ पठाइदिनुहोस् ताकि अब छिटै जन्मने बालकलाई हामीले के गर्नुपर्छ भनेर उहाँले हामीलाई सिकाउन सकून् ।”

Then Manoah entreated Jehovah, and said, Oh, Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou sent come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be born.

9 परमेश्‍वरले मानोहको पुकार सुन्‍नुभयो, र परमेश्‍वरका दूत फेरि ती स्‍त्रीकहाँ तिनी मैदानमा बसिरहँदा देखा परे । तर मानोह तिनका पति तिनीसँग थिएनन् ।

And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah, and the agent of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

10 यसैले ती स्‍त्री दौडेर गईन् र आफ्ना पतिलाई बताइन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, ती मानिस, जो मकहाँ हिजो आउनुभएको थियो उहाँ फेरि मकहाँ देखापर्नुभएको छ!”

And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, who came to me the other day.

11 मानोह उठे र आफ्नी पत्‍नीको पछिपछि गए । जब तिनी ती मानिसकहाँ आए, तिनले भने, “के मेरी पत्‍नीसँग बोल्ने मानिस तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ?” ती मानिसले भने, “हो, मै हुँ ।”

And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are thou the man who spoke to the woman? And he said, I am.

12 यसैले मानोहले भने, “तपाईंका वचन पुरा होऊन् । त्यो बालकको निम्ति नियमहरू के हुनेछन्, र उसको काम के हुनेछ?”

And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. What shall be the ordering of the child, and what shall we do to him?

13 परमप्रभुका दूतले मानोहलाई भने, “मैले तिनलाई भनेका हरेक कुरा तिनले ध्यानपुर्वक गर्नुपर्छ ।

And the agent of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.

14 दाखको बोटबाट आउने केही पनि तिनले खानुहुँदैन, र तिनले दाखमद्य वा कडा पेय पिउन वा कुनै अशुद्ध कुरा खान नदिनू । मैले तिनलाई गर्नू भनी आज्ञा गरेका सबै कुरा तिनले पालना गर्नुपर्छ ।”

She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. All that I commanded her let her observe.

15 मानोहले परमप्रभुका दूतलाई भने, “कृपया केही समय बस्‍नुहोस्, र तपाईंको निम्ति एउटा पाठो तयार गर्न हामीलाई समय मिल्नेछ ।”

And Manoah said to the agent of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.

16 परमप्रभुका दूतले मानोहलाई भने, “म बसें भने पनि म तिम्रो भोजन खानेछैनँ । तर तिमी होमबलि तयार गर्छौ भने, त्यो परमप्रभुलाई चढाउनू ।” (उनी परमप्रभुका दूत थिए भनेर मानोहलाई थाहा थिएन ।)

And the agent of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread, and if thou will make ready a burnt offering, thou must offer it to Jehovah. For Manoah did not know that he was the agent of Jehovah.

17 मानोहले परमप्रभुका दूतलाई भने, “तपाईंको नाउँ के हो, ताकि तपाईंको वचन पुरा हुँदा हामी तपाईंलाई सम्मान गर्न सकौं?”

And Manoah said to the agent of Jehovah, What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor?

18 परमप्रभुका दूतले उनलाई भने, “तिमी किन मेरो नाउँ सोध्छौ? त्यो आश्‍चर्यपूर्ण छ!”

And the agent of Jehovah said to him, Why do thou ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

19 यसैले मानोहले अन्‍नबलिसित एउटा पाठो लिए र ती परमप्रभुलाई एउटा चट्टानमा चढाए । मानोह र तिनकी पत्‍नीले हेरिरहँदा उहाँले केही आश्‍चर्य काम गर्नुभयो ।

So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering, and offered it upon the rock to Jehovah. And the agent did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on,

20 जब वेदीबाट आगो माथि आकाशतर्फ गयो, तब परमप्रभुका दूत वेदीको आगोमा माथि गए । मानोह र तिनकी पत्‍नीले यो देखे र आफ्नो मुहार भुइँमा घोप्‍टो पारे ।

for it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the agent of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

21 परमप्रभुका दूत मानोह वा उनकी पत्‍नीकहाँ फेरि देखा परेनन् । तब मानोहलाई तिनी परमप्रभुका दूत रहेछन् भनेर थाहा भयो ।

But the agent of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the agent of Jehovah.

22 मानोहले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई भने, “हामी निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछौं, किनभने हामीले परमेश्‍वरलाई देखेका छौं!”

And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

23 तर तिनकी पत्‍नीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “परमप्रभुले हामीलाई मार्ने इच्‍छा गर्नुभएको भए, उहाँले हामीले अर्पण गरेका होमबलि र अन्‍नबलि ग्रहण गर्नुहुन्‍नथ्‍यो । उहाँले हामीलाई यी सबै कुराहरू देखाउनुन्‍नथ्‍यो, न त उहाँले यो समय हामीलाई यी कुराहरू भन्‍नुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।”

But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.

24 पछि ती स्‍त्रीले एउटा छोरो जन्माइन्, र तिनको नाउँ शिमशोन राखिन् । त्यो बालक बढ्दै गयो र परमप्रभुले उसलाई आशिष् दिनुभयो ।

And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.

25 परमप्रभुको आत्माले तिनलाई सोरा र एश्‍तोलको बिच महनेह-दानमा उत्तेजित पार्न सुरु गर्नुभयो ।

And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
