1 शिमशोन तल तिम्नामा गए, र त्यहाँ पलिश्तीहरूका छोरीहरूमध्‍ये एक जना स्‍त्रीलाई तिनले देखे ।
Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah 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 ।”
He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as 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 ।”
Then his father and his mother said to him, “Isn’t there a woman among your brothers’ daughters, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”
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 didn’t know that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines ruled over 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 came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared 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 ।
The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat with his bare hands, but he didn’t 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 down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
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 ।
After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
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 took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. He came to his father and mother and gave to them, and they ate, but he didn’t tell them that he had taken the honey out 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 ।
His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.
11 स्‍त्रीका नातेदारहरूले तिनलाई देख्‍नेबित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना तिस जना साथी तिनीसँग बस्‍नलाई ल्याए ।
When they saw him, they brought thirty companions 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 tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
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 can’t tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, that 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 came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.
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 seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”
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 wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why 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 wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children 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 ।”
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you hadn’t plowed with my heifer, you wouldn’t have found out 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 ।
The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 शिमशोनको साथमा बसेको मित्रलाई तिनको पत्‍नी दिएर पठाइयो ।
But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
