न्यायकर्ताहरू 14
1 शिमशोन तल तिम्नामा गए, र त्यहाँ पलिश्तीहरूका छोरीहरूमध्ये एक जना स्त्रीलाई तिनले देखे ।
Samson went down to Timnah, and there he saw a woman, one of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 जब तिनी फर्के, तब तिनले आफ्ना बुबा र आमालाई भने, “मैले तिम्नामा पलिश्तीहरूका छोरीहरूमध्ये एक जना स्त्रीलाई देखें । तिनलाई मेरो पत्नी हुनलाई ल्याइदिनुहोस् ।”
When he returned, he told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines. Now get her for me to be my wife.”
3 तिनका बुबा र आमाले तिनलाई भने, “के तिम्रा नातेदारहरूका छोरीहरू वा हाम्रा मानिसहरूका माझमा कोही स्त्री छैन र? के तिमी खतना नभएका पलिश्तीहरूबाट आफ्नो निम्ति पत्नी लिन जाँदैछौ?” शिमशोनले आफ्ना बुबालाई भने, “तिनलाई मेरो निम्ति ल्याइदिनुहोस्, किनकि म जब तिनलाई हेर्छु, मलाई खुशी लाग्छ ।”
His father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people? Are you going to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for when I look at her, she pleases me.”
4 तर तिनका बुबा र आमालाई यो कुरा परमप्रभुबाट आएको हो भन्ने कुरा थाहा थिएन, किनकि उहाँले पलिश्तीहरूसँग झगडा ल्याउने योजना गर्नुभएको थियो (किनकि त्यो समयमा पलिश्तीहरूले इस्राएलमाथि शासन गरिरहेको थियो) ।
But his father and his mother did not know that this matter came from Yahweh, for he desired to create a conflict with the Philistines (for at that time the Philistines were ruling Israel).
5 तब शिमशोन आफ्ना बुबा र आमासँग तल तिम्नामा गए, र तिनीहरू तिम्नाको दाखबारीमा गए । अनि हेर, त्यहाँ जवान सिंहहरूमध्ये एउटा माथि आयो र तिनीमाथि गर्जन थाल्यो ।
Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah. And, look, there one of the young lions came up and was roaring at him.
6 परमप्रभुका आत्मा अचानक तिनीमाथि आउनुभयो, र तिनले एउटा सानो पाठोलाई झैं तुरुन्तै त्यो सिंहलाई च्यातिदिए, र तिनको हातमा तिनीसित कुनै कुरा पनि थिएन । तर आफूले जे गरेका थिए, त्यो तिनले आफ्ना बुबा वा आमालाई भनेनन् ।
Yahweh's Spirit suddenly came on him, and he tore the lion apart as easily as he would have torn apart a small goat, and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 तिनी गए र त्यो स्त्रीसँग कुरा गरे, र जब शिमशोनले उनलाई हेरे, तब उनले तिनलाई खुसी पारिन् ।
He went and spoke with the woman, and when he looked at her, she pleased Samson.
8 केही दिनपछि जब तिनी उनलाई विवाह गर्न भनेर फर्के, तब त्यो सिंहको सिनु हेर्नलाई तिनी त्यतातिर गए । अनि हेर, तिनले छाडेका त्यो सिंहको सिनुमा मौरीको झुण्ड र मह थियो ।
A few days later when he returned to marry her, he turned aside to look for the carcass of the lion. And, look, there was a swarm of bees and honey in what was left of the lion's body.
9 तिनले आफ्ना हातमा मह लिए र तिनी जाँदा खाँदै गए । जब तिनी आफ्ना बुबा र आमाकहाँ आए, तिनले अलिकति मह तिनीहरूलाई पनि दिए, र तिनीहरूले खाए । तर तिनले त्यो मह सिंहको सिनुबाट लिएका थिए भन्ने कुरा तिनले भनेनन् ।
He scraped up the honey in his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and his mother, he gave some to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them he had taken the honey out of what was left of the lion's body.
10 शिमशोनका बुबा तल त्यो स्त्री भएको ठाउँमा गए, र शिमशोनले त्यहाँ एउटा भोज दिए, किनकि त्यो दुलहाले गर्नैपर्ने प्रचलन थियो ।
Samson's father went down to where the woman was, and Samson gave a feast there, for this was the custom of the young men.
11 स्त्रीका नातेदारहरूले तिनलाई देख्नेबित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना तिस जना साथी तिनीसँग बस्नलाई ल्याए ।
As soon as her relatives saw him, they brought him thirty of their friends to be with him.
12 शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म तिमीहरूलाई एउटा अड्को थाप्छु । तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले भोजको सात दिनभित्रमा अड्को फुकाएर त्यसको उत्तर मलाई भन्न सक्यौ भने, म तिमीहरूलाई तिसवटा सुतीका लबेदा र तिस थान लुगाहरू दिनेछु ।
Samson said to them, “Let me now tell you a riddle. If one of you can find it out and tell me the answer during the seven days of the feast, I will give out thirty linen robes and thirty sets of clothes.
13 तर तिमीहरूले मलाई उत्तर भन्न सकेनौ भने, तिमीहरूले मलाई तिसवटा सुतीका लबेदा र तिस थान लुगाहरू दिनुपर्नेछ ।” तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “हामीलाई तिम्रो अड्को भन, ताकि हामी त्यो सनौं ।”
But if you cannot tell me the answer, then you will give me thirty linen robes and thirty sets of clothes.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, so we may hear it.”
14 तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “खानेबाट केही खाने कुरो निस्क्यो, बलियोबाट केही गुलियो कुरो निस्क्यो ।” तर तिनका पाहुनाहरूले तिन दिनमा त्यसको उत्तर पाउन सकेनन् ।
He said to them, “Out of the eater was something to eat; out of the strong was something sweet.” But his guests could not find the answer in three days.
15 चौथो दिनमा तिनीहरूले शिमशोनकी पत्नीलाई भने, “तिम्रो पतिलाई छल गर ताकि तिनले हामीलाई त्यो अड्कोको उत्तर बताऊन्, नत्रता हामी तिमी र तिम्रो बुबाको घरलाई आगो लगाइदिनेछौं । के हामीलाई गरिब बनाउनलाई तिमीले हामीलाई यहाँ बोलाएकी हौ?”
On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, “Trick your husband so that he may tell us the answer to the riddle, or we will burn up you and your father's house. Did you invite us here in order to make us poor?”
16 शिमशोनकी पत्नी तिनको सामु रुन थालिन् । उनले भनिन्, “तपाईंले मलाई घृणा मात्र गर्नुहुन्छ! तपाईंले मलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्न । तपाईंले मेरा केही मानिसलाई अड्को थाप्नुभएको छ, तर तपाईंले मलाई उत्तर भन्नुभएको छैन ।” शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “यता हेर, मैले मेरो बुबा वा आमालाई त भनेको छैनँ, त के म तिमीलाई भनूँ?”
Samson's wife started to weep in front of him; she said, “All you do is hate me! You do not love me. You have told a riddle to some of my people, but you have not told me the answer.” Samson said to her, “Look here, if I have not told my father or my mother, should I tell you?”
17 भोजको सातौं दिनसम्म त्यो रोई । सातौं दिनमा तिनले उनलाई उत्तर भनिदिए किनभने उनले तिनलाई धेरै दबाब दिइन् । उनले आफ्ना नातेदारहरूलाई उत्तर भनिदिई ।
She cried during the seven days that their feast lasted. On the seventh day he told her the answer because she pressured him very much. She told the answer to the relatives of her people.
18 सातौं दिनमा सूर्य अस्ताउनअगि सहरका मानिसले तिनलाई भने, “महभन्दा गुलियो के हुन्छ र? सिंहभन्दा बलियो के हुन्छ र?” शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले मेरो कोरेलीलाई नजोतेका भए, तिमीहरूले मेरो अड्कोको उत्तर पाउनेथिएनौ ।”
Before the sun went down on the seventh day the men of the city said to him, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” Samson said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found the answer to my riddle.”
19 तब परमप्रभुको आत्मा अचानक शक्तिको साथमा शिमशोनमाथि आउनुभयो । शिमशोन तल अश्कलोनमा गए र तिनीहरूका तिस जना मानिसहरूलाई मारे । तिनले तिनीहरूका लुटका सामान लिए, र त्यो अड्को फुकाउने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका लुगाहरू दिए । रिसले चूर भएर तिनी आफ्ना बुबाका घरमा गए ।
Then Yahweh's Spirit suddenly came on Samson with power. Samson went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men. He took their plunder, and he gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. Burning with anger, he went up to his father's house.
20 शिमशोनको साथमा बसेको मित्रलाई तिनको पत्नी दिएर पठाइयो ।
Samson's wife was given to his best friend.
