न्यायकर्ताहरू 15
1 केही दिनपछि, गहुँ कटनीको समयमा, शिमशोनले एउटा पाठो लिए र आफ्नी पत्नीलाई भेट्न गए । तिनले मनमनै भने, “म मेरी पत्नीको कोठामा जानेछु ।” तर उनका बुबाले तिनलाई भित्र जान दिएनन् ।
But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
2 उनका बुबाले भने, “तपाईंले उनलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ भनी मैले सोचेको थिएँ, यसैले मैले त्यसलाई तपाईंको साथमा बसेको मित्रलाई दिएँ । उनकी कान्छी बहिनी उनीन्दा सुन्दरी छिन् । तिनैलाई लैजानुहोस् ।”
And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
3 शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यसपल्ट मैले पलिश्तीहरूलाई चोट दिंदा म निर्दोष हुनेछु ।”
And Samson said unto them, This time shall I be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.
4 शिमशोन गए र तिन सयवटा स्यालहरू समाते र हरेकलाई दुई-दुईचटा गरेर पुच्छर-पुच्छर बाँधिदिए । तब तिनले राँको लिएर हरेक जोडीको पुच्छरको बिचमा राखे ।
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails.
5 जब तिनले राँकाहरूमा आगो सल्काए, तब तिनले स्यालहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूका पाकिरहेका अन्नमा छोडिदिए, र तिनीहरूले जम्मा गरेर राखिएका अन्न र खेतमा पाकेका अन्न दुवैमा, दाखवारीहरू र जैतूनका बगैंचाहरूलाई डढाए ।
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the oliveyards.
6 पलिश्तीहरूले सोधे, “यो कसले गर्यो?” तिनीहरूलाई भनियो, “तिम्नामा बसोबास गर्नेका ज्वाइँ शिमशोनले यो गरेका हुन् किनभने तिम्नाका मानिसहरूले शिमशोनकी पत्नीलाई लिए र तिनको साथमा बसेको मित्रलाई दिए ।” त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरू गएर त्यस स्त्री र त्यसका बुबालाई जलाइदिए ।
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
7 शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूको व्यवहार यस्तै हो भने, म तिमीहरूका विरुद्ध बदला लिनेछु, र त्यसो गरेपछि मात्र म रोकिनेछु ।”
And Samson said unto them, If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8 तब तिनले उनीहरूलाई कम्मर र जाँघबाट टुक्रा-टुक्रा गरी काटे र धेरैको हत्या गरे । त्यसपछि उनी तल गए र एतामको चट्टानको गुफामा बसे ।
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरू माथि आए र तिनीहरूले यहूदामा युद्धको निम्ति तयारी गरे र लहीमा आफ्ना सेनालाई तयार राखे ।
Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 तब यहूदाका मानिसहरूले भने, “तिमीहरू किन हामीलाई आक्रमण गर्न आएका छौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “शिमशोनलाई समातौं र त्यसले हामीलाई जे गरेको छ त्यसलाई त्यस्तै गरौ भनेर हामी आक्रमण गर्दैछौं ।”
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
11 तब यहूदाका तिन हजार मानिसहरू एतामको चट्टानको गुफामा गए, र तिनीहरूले शिमशोनलाई भने, “के तिमीलाई थाहा छ, कि पलिश्तीहरू हाम्रा शासकहरू हुन्? यो तिमीले हामीलाई के गरेका छौ?” शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिनीहरूले मलाई जस्तो गरे, अनि मैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई त्यस्तै गरें ।”
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
12 तिनीहरूले शिमशोनलाई भने, “तिमीलाई बाँधेर पलिश्तीहरूका हातमा दिनको निम्ति हामी यहाँ तल आएका छौं ।” शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मसँग यो शपथ खाओ कि तिमीहरू आफैंले मलाई मार्नेछैनौ ।”
And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हामी तिमीलाई केवल डोरीले बाँध्नेछौं र तिमीलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ सुम्पिनेछौं । हामी यो प्रतिज्ञा गर्छौं, कि हामी तिमीलाई मार्नेछैनौं ।” यसैले तिनीहरूले तिनलाई दुईवटा नयाँ डोरीले बाँधे र त्यस चट्टानबाट माथि ल्याए ।
And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 जब तिनी लहीमा आए, पलिश्तीहरूले तिनलाई भेट्नेवित्तिकै ठुलो सोरमा कराउँदै आए । अनि परमप्रभुका आत्मा शक्तिको साथमा उनीमाथि आउनुभयो । तिनका पाखुराका डोरीहरू डढेका सनपाटझैं भए, र तिनीहरू तिनका हातबाट झरे ।
When he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 शिमशोनले एउटा गधाको आलो बङ्गारो भेट्टाए, र तिनले त्यो उठाए र त्यसैले एक हजार जना मानिसलाई मारे ।
And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith.
16 शिमशोनले भने, “एउटा गधाको बङ्गारोले रासमाथि रास पारें ।” एउटा गधाको बङ्गारोले मैले एक हजार जना मानिसलाई मारें ।”
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of an ass have I smitten a thousand men.
17 जब शिमशोनले बोलिसके, तब तिनले त्यो बङ्गारोलाई फालिदिए, र तिनले त्यस ठाउँलाई रामत-लही नाउँ राखे ।
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi.
18 शिमशोन धेरै तिर्खाए र परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र भने, “तपाईंले आफ्नो दासलाई यो महान् विजय दिनुभएको छ । तर के अब म तिर्खाले मर्ने, अनि खतना नभएका मानिसहरूका हातमा पर्नेछु?”
And he was sore athirst, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised.
19 परमेश्वरले लहीमा भएको खाल्डोलाई चिरिदिनुभयो र त्यहाँबाट पानी निस्कियो । जब तिनले पानी पिए, तब तिनको शक्ति फर्कियो र तिनी ताजा भए । यसैले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ एन-हक्कोरे राखे, र आजको दिनसम्मै त्यो लहीमा छ ।
But God clave the hollow place that is in Lehi, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore the name thereof was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi, unto this day.
20 शिमशोनले पलिश्तीहरूको समयमा इस्राएलमा बिस वर्ष न्याय गरे ।
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
