< 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 ।
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did 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 spoke, saying, I said that you did surely hate her, and I gave her to one of your friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to you instead of her.
3 शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यसपल्ट मैले पलिश्तीहरूलाई चोट दिंदा म निर्दोष हुनेछु ।”
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
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 Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
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 he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
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 ।
And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूको व्यवहार यस्तै हो भने, म तिमीहरूका विरुद्ध बदला लिनेछु, र त्यसो गरेपछि मात्र म रोकिनेछु ।”
And Sampson said to them, Though you may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards 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 struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock Etam.
9 त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरू माथि आए र तिनीहरूले यहूदामा युद्धको निम्ति तयारी गरे र लहीमा आफ्ना सेनालाई तयार राखे ।
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
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 Juda said, Why are you come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, and to do to him as he has 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 ।”
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Know you not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] you have done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to 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 to him, We are come down to bind you to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that you 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 spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand, and will by no means kill you: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that 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 ।
And they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed 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 the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and struck with it a thousand men.
16 शिमशोनले भने, “एउटा गधाको बङ्गारोले रासमाथि रास पारें ।” एउटा गधाको बङ्गारोले मैले एक हजार जना मानिसलाई मारें ।”
And Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass I have struck 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 ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
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 very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of your servant, and new 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 ।
And God broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until this day.
20 शिमशोनले पलिश्तीहरूको समयमा इस्राएलमा बिस वर्ष न्याय गरे ।
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
