न्यायकर्ताहरू 16
1 शिमशोन गाजामा गए र त्यहाँ एउटी वेश्यालाई देखे, र तिनी त्यससँग ओछ्यानमा गए ।
And Samson went from there to Gaza, and saw a prostitute there, 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, "Samson is here." They surrounded him, and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all night, saying, "Wait until morning light, then we will kill 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 ।
Now Samson rested until midnight, but got up at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is overlooking Hebron, and set them down there.
4 यसपछि, शिमशोन सोरेकको बेसीमा बस्ने गर्ने एक जना स्त्रीसँग प्रेममा परे । त्यसको नाउँ दलीला थियो ।
It came to pass afterward, that he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
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 ।”
The lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, "Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you 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?”
Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound and subdued."
7 शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिनीहरूले मलाई नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदाले बाँधे भने, म कमजोर हुनेछु र अरू साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
8 तब पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदा ल्याएर दलीलालाई दिए, र त्यसले शोमशोनलाई ती ताँदाले बाँधी ।
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, 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 ।
Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." He broke the cords, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So 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 ।”
Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might be bound."
11 तिनले त्यसलाई भने, “कहिल्यै कामको निम्ति प्रयोग नभएका नयाँ डोरीले तिनीहरूले मलाई बाँधे भने म कमजोर हुनेछु र साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
He said to her, "If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and 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 ।
So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." The ambush was waiting in the inner room. 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 ।”
Delilah said to Samson, "Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me how you might be bound." He said to her, "If you weave the seven braids on my head with the fabric and fasten them with the pin, then I will 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 ।
So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids on his head, and wove them with the fabric, and she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." And he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin of the loom and the fabric.
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 ।”
She said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies."
16 हरेक दिन त्यसले तिनलाई यही कुरा गरेर दबाब दिई, र त्यसले यति दबाब दिई, कि तिनले मर्ने इच्छा गरे ।
It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled 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 ।”
He told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I will become weak, and be like any other man."
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 ।
When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up this once, for he has told me all his heart." Then the lords 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 ।
She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and he began to weaken, and his strength went 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 ।
She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." He awoke out of his sleep, and said, "I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free." But he didn't know that the LORD had departed from him.
21 पलिश्तीहरूले तिनलाई समाते र तिनका आँखा निकालिदिए । उनीहरूले तिनलाई गाजामा ल्याएर काँसाका साङ्लाले बाँधे । तिनी झ्यालखानामा जाँतो पिंध्न थाले ।
The Philistines seized him, and gouged out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze shackles, and he ground at the mill in the prison.
22 तर तिनको शिरमा कपाल खौरपछि फेरि पलाउन थाल्यो ।
However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
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 ।”
The lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to celebrate; for they said, "Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand."
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 ।”
When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, "Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand."
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 it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may entertain us." So they called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. And they were striking him. And they 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 Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, "Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them." And the boy did so.
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 ।
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And there were on the roof about three thousand men and women watching while Samson performed.
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 ।”
Samson called to the LORD, and said, "Lord GOD, please remember me, and please strengthen me only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of 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 ।
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the 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 ।
Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed 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 ।
Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
