न्यायकर्ताहरू 16
1 शिमशोन गाजामा गए र त्यहाँ एउटी वेश्यालाई देखे, र तिनी त्यससँग ओछ्यानमा गए ।
And Sampson went to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
2 गाजाका मानिसहरूलाई यस्तो भनियो, “शिमशोन यहाँ आएको छ ।” गाजाका मानिसहरूले त्यस ठाउँलाई घेरे र गुप्तमा तिनीहरूले सारा रात सहरको ढोकामा कुरे । तिनीहरू रातभर शान्त बसे । तिनीहरूले यसो भनेका थिए, “दिनको उज्यालो नभएसम्म हामी कुरौं, र त्यसपछि उसलाई हामी मारौं ।”
And it was reported to the Gazites, saying, Sampson is come hither: and they compassed him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and they were quiet all the night, saying, Let us wait till the dawn appear, and we will slay him.
3 शिमशोन मध्यरातसम्म ओछ्यानमा पल्टे । मध्यरातमा तिनी उठे र तिनले सहरको ढोका र त्यसका दुईवटा खम्बालाई समाते । तिनले बारसहित ती जमिनबाट उखेले, र ती आफ्ना काँधमा राखे, र हेब्रोनको सामुन्ने डाँडाको चुचुरासम्म बोकेर लगे ।
And Sampson slept till midnight, and rose up at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city with the two posts, and lifted them up with the bar, and laid them on his shoulders, and he went up to the top of the mountain that is before Chebron, and laid them there.
4 यसपछि, शिमशोन सोरेकको बेसीमा बस्ने गर्ने एक जना स्त्रीसँग प्रेममा परे । त्यसको नाउँ दलीला थियो ।
And it came to pass after this that he loved a woman in Alsorech, and her name [was] Dalida.
5 पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू त्यस स्त्रीकहाँ आए, र भने, “शिमशोनलाई छल गरेर त्यसको त्यो ठुलो बल केमा रहेको छ, र कसरी हामी त्यसको शक्तिलाई हामी हराउन सक्छौं भन्ने कुरा थाहा गर, ताकि हामीले त्यसलाई बाँधेर त्यसलाई लज्जीत पार्न सकौं । यो काम गर, र हामी हरेकले तिमीलाई चाँदीका १,१०० सिक्का दिनेछौं ।”
And the princess of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Beguile him, and see wherein his great strength [is], and wherewith we shall prevail against him, and bind him to humble him; and we will give thee each eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.
6 तब दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनिन्, “कृपया मलाई बताउनुहोस्, कि तपाईं कसरी यस्तो बलियो हुनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंलाई नियन्त्रण गर्नको निम्ति तपाईंलाई कसरी बाँध्न सकिन्छ?”
And Dalida said to Sampson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein [is] thy great strength, and wherewith thou shalt be bound that thou mayest be humbled.
7 शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिनीहरूले मलाई नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदाले बाँधे भने, म कमजोर हुनेछु र अरू साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
And Sampson said to her, If they bind me with seven moist cords that have not been spoiled, then shall I be weak and be as one of ordinary men.
8 तब पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदा ल्याएर दलीलालाई दिए, र त्यसले शोमशोनलाई ती ताँदाले बाँधी ।
And the princess of the Philistines brought to her seven moist cords that had not been spoiled, and she bound him with them.
9 त्यस स्त्रीको भित्री कोठामा त्यसले गुप्तमा मानिसहरू लुकाएकी थिई । त्यसले तिनलाई भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तर तिनले ती धनुका ताँदालाई आगोमा परेका सनपाटका धागाहरूझैं छिनाइदिए । यसैले तिनको शक्तिको रहस्य खोलिएन ।
And the liers in wait remained with her in the chamber; and she said to him, the Philistines [are] upon thee, Sampson: and he broke the cords as if any one should break a thread of tow when it has touched the fire, and his strength was not known.
10 त्यसपछि दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनी, “तपाईंले मलाई धोका दिनुभएको छ र मलाई झुटो बोल्नुभएको छ । कृपया, मलाई बताउनुहोस् तपाईंलाई कसरी नियन्त्रण गर्न सकिन्छ ।”
And Dalida said to Sampson, Behold, thou hast cheated me, and told me lies; now then tell me wherewith thou shalt be bound.
11 तिनले त्यसलाई भने, “कहिल्यै कामको निम्ति प्रयोग नभएका नयाँ डोरीले तिनीहरूले मलाई बाँधे भने म कमजोर हुनेछु र साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes with which work has not been done, then shall I be weak, and shall be as another man.
12 यसैले दलीलाले नयाँ डोरीहरू लिएर तिनलाई त्यसले बाँधी, र भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” मानिसहरू भित्री कोठामा कुरिरहेका थिए । तर शिमशोनले आफ्ना पाखुराका डोरीहरूलाई धागो छिनाएझैं छिनाइदिए ।
And Dalida took new ropes, and bound him with them, and the liers in wait came out of the chamber, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Sampson: and he broke them off his arms like a thread.
13 दलीलाले शिमशोनलाई भनी, “अहिलेसम्म त तपाईंले मलाई धोका दिनुभएको छ र मसँग झुटो बोल्नुभएको छ । तपाईंलाई कसरी नियन्त्रमा लिन सकिन्छ मलाई बताउनुहोस् ।” शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिमीले मेरो कपालका सातवटा लट्टालाई तानमा बुनेर कीलामा कसेर राख्यौ भने म अरू मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
And Dalida said to Sampson, Behold, thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; tell me, I intreat thee, wherewith thou mayest be bound: and he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web, and shouldest fasten them with the pin into the wall, then shall I be weak as another man.
14 जब तिनी निदाए, दलीलाले उनका कपालका सातवटा लट्टा बनाई तानमा बुनेर कीलामा कसरे राखी, अनि त्यसले उनलाई भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तिनी आफ्नो निद्राबाट उठे र तानसमेत कीला उखेलिदिए ।
And it came to pass when he was asleep, that Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with the web, and fastened them with the pin into the wall, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep, and carried away the pin of the web out of the wall.
15 त्यसले उनलाई भनी, “तपाईंले मलाई कसरी ‘म तिमीलाई प्रेम गर्छु’ भन्न सक्नुहुन्छ, जब कि तपाईंले आफ्ना गोप्य कुराहरू मलाई बताउनुहुन्न? तिन पटक तपाईंले मेरो उपहास गर्नुभएको छ र तपाईंसँग यस्तो महाबल कसरी आउँछ भनेर भन्नुभएको छैन ।”
And Dalida said to Sampson, How sayest thou, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? this third time thou hast deceived me, and hast not told me wherein [is] thy great strength.
16 हरेक दिन त्यसले तिनलाई यही कुरा गरेर दबाब दिई, र त्यसले यति दबाब दिई, कि तिनले मर्ने इच्छा गरे ।
And it came to pass as she pressed him sore with her words continually, and straitened him, that his spirit failed almost to death.
17 यसैले शिमशोनले त्यसलाई हरेक कुरा भने र तिनलाई यसो भनिदिए, “मेरो शिरको कपालमा कहिल्यै पनि मैले खौरेको छैन, किनभने मेरी आमाको गर्भदेखि नै म परमेश्वरको निम्ति एक नाजिरी भएको छु । मेरो कपाल खौरियो भने, मेरो शक्ति मबाट जानेछ, र म कमजोर र सामान्य मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
Then he told her all his heart, and said to her, A razor has not come upon my head, because I have been a holy [one] of God from my mother's womb; if then I should be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I shall be weak, and I shall be as all [other] men.
18 दलीलाले तिनले सबै सत्य कुरा बताएको देखेपछि, त्यसले यसो भनेर पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूलाई बोलाई, “आउनुहोस्, किनभने तिनले मलाई सबै कुरा बताएका छन् ।” त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले आफ्ना हातमा चाँदी लिएर त्यसकहाँ गए ।
And Dalida saw that he told her all his heart, and she sent and called the princess of the Philistines, saying, Come up yet this once; for he has told me all his heart. And the chiefs of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
19 त्यसले तिउनलाई आफ्नो काखमा सुताई । तिनको शिरको सातवटा लट्टा खौरिदिन त्यसले एक जना मानिसलाई बोलाई, र त्यसले तिनलाई काबूमा पार्न लागी, किनभने तिनको शक्ति हटिसकेको थियो ।
And Dalida made Sampson sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and he shaved the seven locks of his head, and she began to humble him, and his strength departed from him.
20 त्यसले भनी, “शिमशोन! पलिश्तीहरू तपाईंमाथि आइलाग्दै छन्!” तिनी आफ्नो निद्राबाट उठे र भने, “म अरू बेलाझैं उम्कनेछु र आफूलाई छुटाउनेछु ।” तर परमप्रभुले तिनलाई छोडिसाक्नुभएको छ भन्ने तिनलाई थाहा थिएन ।
And Dalida said, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep and said, I will go out as at former times, and shake myself; and he knew not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 पलिश्तीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनका आँखा निकालिदिए । उनीहरूले तिनलाई गाजामा ल्याएर काँसाका साङ्लाले बाँधे । तिनी झ्यालखानामा जाँतो पिंध्न थाले ।
And the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he ground in the prison-house.
22 तर तिनको शिरमा कपाल खौरपछि फेरि पलाउन थाल्यो ।
And the hair of his head began to grow as before it was shaven.
23 पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू आफ्ना देवता दागोनलाई महान् बलि चढाउन र आनन्द मनाउन एकसाथ भेला भए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रा देवताले हामीहरूका शत्रु शिमशोनलाई जिते र हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।”
And the chiefs of the Philistines met to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to make merry; and they said, God has given into our hand our enemy Sampson.
24 जब मानिसहरूले तिनलाई देखे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताको प्रशंसा गरे, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रो देशलाई नाश गर्ने, र हामीमध्ये धेरैलाई मार्ने हामीहरूका शत्रुलाई हाम्रो देवताले जित हासिल गरे हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।”
And the people saw him, and sang praises to their god; for our god, [said they], has delivered into our hand our enemy, who wasted our land, and who multiplied our slain.
25 जब तिनीहरू उत्सव मनाउँदै थिए, तब तिनीहरूले भने, “शिमशोनलाई बोलाओ, ताकि त्यसले हामीलाई हँसाओस् ।” तिनीहरूले शिमशोनलाई झ्यालखानाबाट बाहिर झिके र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई हँसाए । उनीहरूले तिनलाई खम्बाहरूका बिचमा खडा गरेका थिए ।
And when their heart was merry, then they said, Call Sampson out of the prison-house, and let him play before us: and they called Sampson out of the prison-house, and he played before them; and they smote him with the palms of their hands, and set him between the pillars.
26 शिमशोनका आफ्नो हात समाइरहेको केटोलाई भने, “यो मन्दिर अडाउने खम्बाहरू मलाई छुन देऊ, ताकि म तिनमा अडेस लगाउन सकूँ ।”
And Sampson said to the young man that held his hand, Suffer me to feel the pillars on which the house [rests], and I will stay myself upon them.
27 त्यो मन्दिर पुरुष र स्त्रीहरूले भरिएको थियो । पलिश्तीहरूका सबै शासकहरू त्यहीं नै थिए । छतमा करिब तिन हजार पुरुष र स्त्रीहरू थिए । शिमशोनले तिनीहरूलाई मनोरन्जन दिंदा हेरिरहेका थिए ।
And the house [was] full of men and woman, and there were all the chiefs of the Philistines, and on the roof [were] about three thousand men and woman looking at the sports of Sampson.
28 शिमशोनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र भने, “परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, मेरो सम्झना गर्नुहोस्! परमेश्वर, कृपया मलाई एकपटक मात्र शक्ति दिनुहोस्, ताकि मेरा दुई आँखाको साटो मैले यी पलिश्तीहरूसँग एकै पटकमा बदला लिन सकूँ ।”
And Sampson wept before the Lord, and said, O Lord, my lord, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, O God, yet this once, and I will requite one recompense to the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 त्यस मन्दिरलाई अडाउने बिचका दुई खम्बालाई शिमशोनले समाए र एउटा खम्बालाई आफ्नो दाहिने हात र अर्कोलाई आफ्नो देब्रे हातले समाएर ती ठेले ।
And Sampson took hold of the two pillars of the house on which the house stood, and leaned on them, and laid hold of one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
30 शिमशोनले भने, “मलाई पलिश्तीहरूसँगै मर्न दिनुहोस्!” तिनले आफ्नो बल लगाएर हातहरू पसारे र त्यो मन्दिर सबै शासकहरू र त्यहाँ भएका सबै मानिसहरूमाथि खस्यो । यसरी तिनी आफू मर्दा आफ्नो जीवनभरमा मरेका भन्दा धेरैलाई मारे ।
And Sampson said, Let my wife perish with the Philistines: and he bowed himself mightily; and the house fell upon the princes, and upon all the people that were in it: and the dead whom Sampson slew in his death were more than those whom he slew in his life.
31 तब तिनका दाजुभाइ र तिनका बुबाका घरानाका सबै त्यहाँ आए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई लगे अनि तिनका बुबा मानोहको चिहानमा सोरा र एश्लोतको बिचमा तिनलाई दफन गरे । शिमशोनले इस्राएलमा बिस वर्ष न्याय गरेका थिए ।
And his brethren and his father's house went down, and they took him; and they went up and buried him between Saraa and Esthaol in the sepulchre of his father Manoe; and he judged Israel twenty years.
