न्यायकर्ताहरू 16
1 शिमशोन गाजामा गए र त्यहाँ एउटी वेश्यालाई देखे, र तिनी त्यससँग ओछ्यानमा गए ।
Then went Samson 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 told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they encompassed [him], and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning when it is day we shall 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 ।
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill that [is] before Hebron.
4 यसपछि, शिमशोन सोरेकको बेसीमा बस्ने गर्ने एक जना स्त्रीसँग प्रेममा परे । त्यसको नाउँ दलीला थियो ।
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved 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 ।”
And the lords of the Philistines came to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in what his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us 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 Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what thy great strength [lieth], and with what thou mayest be bound to afflict thee.
7 शिमशोनले त्यसलाई भने, “तिनीहरूले मलाई नयाँ सातवटा नसुकेका धनुका ताँदाले बाँधे भने, म कमजोर हुनेछु र अरू साधारण मानिसझैं हुनेछु ।”
And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven green withs, that were never dried, then shall I be 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 to her seven green withs, 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 [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber.) And she said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he broke the withs as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth 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 ।”
And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mayest 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 bind me fast with new ropes that never were used, then shall I be 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 ।
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. (And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber.) And he broke them from 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 Delilah said to Samson, hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me with what thou mayest be bound. And he said to her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
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 she fastened [it] with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
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 she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart [is] not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me in what thy great strength [lieth].
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 when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed 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 ।”
That he told her all his heart, and said to her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I [have been] a Nazarite to God from my birth: if I be shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I shall 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 ।
And 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 hath disclosed to me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought money in their hand.
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 she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, 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 ।
And she said, the Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knew not 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 ।
But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison-house.
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 ।”
Then the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath 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 ।”
And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country; who slew many of us.
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 came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made them sport: 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 lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars upon which the house standeth, that I may lean 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 ।
Now the house was full of men and women: and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there: and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
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 Samson called to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O 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 ।
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was supported, of the one with his right hand, and of 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 Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] in it. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which 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 ।
Then his brethren 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 burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
