न्यायकर्ताहरू 13

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

The children 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 ।

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 ।

The angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, "See now, you are barren, and do not bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.

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

Now therefore please be careful 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 look, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor will come on 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 face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him where he was from, 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, 'Look, you 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 until 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 pleaded with Jehovah, and said, "Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who 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 ।

God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah, her husband, wasn't 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!”

The woman ran quickly, and told her husband, and said to him, "Look, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me."

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 ।”

Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" He said, "I am."

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

Manoah said, "Now let your word happen. How shall the child be raised and what is he to do?"

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

The angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.

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 have commanded her she is to observe."

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

Manoah said to the angel of Jehovah, "Please, stay a bit longer that we may prepare a young goat for you."

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 ।)

The angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread. And if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Jehovah." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of Jehovah.

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

Manoah said to the angel of Jehovah, "What is your name, that when your words come true we may honor you?"

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

And the angel of Jehovah said to him, "Why do you ask for my name? It is incomprehensible."

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 young goat and a grain offering, and offered it on the rock to Jehovah, Jehovah who works wonders. 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 happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel 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 angel of Jehovah did not appear again to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Jehovah.

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

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 meant to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a grain offering from us, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would he have spoken to us now like this."

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

The woman bore a son, and named him 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 direct him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
