< न्यायकर्ताहरू 19 >
1 ती दिनहरूमा, जब इस्राएलमा कुनै राजा थिएन, त्यहाँ एक जना लेवी थिए, जो केही समय एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको सबैभन्दा दुर्गम क्षेत्रमा बसोबास गर्थे । तिनले यहूदाको बेथलेहेमबाट आफ्नो निम्ति एउटी उपपत्नी लिए ।
Also in those dayes, when there was no king in Israel, a certaine Leuite dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, and tooke to wife a concubine out of Beth-lehem Iudah,
2 तर तिनकी उपपत्नी तिनीप्रति अविश्वासी थिई । त्यसले उनलाई छोडी र यहूदाको बेथलेहेम भएको आफ्नो पिताको घरमा फर्की । त्यो त्यहाँ चार महिनासम्म बसी ।
And his concubine played ye whore there, and went away from him vnto her fathers house to Beth-lehem Iudah, and there continued the space of foure moneths.
3 त्यसपछि त्यसका पति उठे र त्यसलाई फकाएर फिर्ता ल्याउनलाई त्यसकहाँ गए । तिनीसँग उनका सेवक, र एक जोडी गधा थिए । त्यसले तिनलाई आफ्नो बुबाको घरभित्र लगी । त्यस स्त्रीका बुबाले तिनलाई देखेर उनी खुशी भए ।
And her husband arose and went after her, to speake friendly vnto her, and to bring her againe: he had also his seruant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him vnto her fathers house, and when the yong womans father sawe him, he reioyced of his comming.
4 तिनका ससुरा, त्यस स्त्रीका बुबाले तिन दिन त्यहीं बस्न तिनलाई मनाए । तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए, र तिनीहरूले रात त्यहीं कटाए ।
And his father in lawe, the yong womans father reteined him: and he abode with him three dayes: so they did eate and drinke, and lodged there.
5 चौथो दिनमा तिनीहरू बिहानै उठे र तिनी जानलाई तयार भए, तर त्यस स्त्रीका बुबाले आफ्नो ज्वाँइलाई भने, “अलिकति रोटी खाएर आफूलाई बलियो बनाउनुहोस्, अनि जानुहोस् ।”
And when the fourth day came, they arose earely in the morning, and he prepared to depart: then the yong womans father said vnto his sonne in lawe, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and then go your way.
6 त्यसैले तिनीहरू दुई जना सँगै बसेर खान र पिउन थाले । तब त्यस स्त्रीका बुबाले भने, “कृपया अझै एक रात बस्नुहोस् र रमाइलो गर्नुहोस् ।”
So they sate downe, and did eate and drinke both of them together. And the yong womans father said vnto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tary all night, and let thine heart be merie.
7 जब ती लेवी जानलाई उठे, तब त्यस जवान स्त्रीका बुबाले तिनलाई बस्नको निम्ति आग्रह गरे । यसैले तिनले आफ्नो योजना बद्ले र त्यहाँ फेरि अर्को रात बिताए ।
And when the man rose vp to depart, his father in lawe was earnest: therefore he returned, and lodged there.
8 पाँचौ दिनमा तिनी जानको निम्ति बिहानै उठे, तर त्यस स्त्रीका बुबाले भने, “आफूलाई बलियो बनाउनुहोस् र दिउँसो नभएसम्म पर्खनुहोस् ।” यसैले ती दुई जनाले भोजन गरे ।
And he arose vp earely the fifth day to depart, and the yong womans father saide, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee: and they taryed vntill after midday, and they both did eate.
9 जब ती लेवी, तिनकी उपपत्नी र तिनका सेवक जानलाई उठे, तब तिनका ससुरा, त्यस स्त्रीका बुबाले तिनलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, दिन ढल्केर साँझ पर्न लागेको छ । कृपया अर्को एक रात यहीँ बस्नुहोस् र रमाइलो गर्नुहोस् । तपाईं भोलि बिहान सबेरै उठ्न र घर फर्कन सक्नुहुन्छ ।”
Afterwarde when the man arose to depart with his concubine and his seruant, his father in lawe, the yong womans father said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the day draweth towarde euen: I pray you, tary all night: beholde, the sunne goeth to rest: lodge here, that thine heart may be merie, and to morowe get you earely vpon your way, and goe to thy tent.
10 तर ती लेवीलाई त्यो रात बिताउन इच्छुक भएनन् । तिनी उठे र गए । तिनी यबूस (अर्थात् यरूशलेम) तर्फ लागे । तिनीसँग भारीले लादेका एक जोडी गधा थिए, र तिनकी उपपत्नी तिनीसँगै थिई ।
But the man would not tarry, but arose and departed, and came ouer against Iebus, (which is Ierusalem) and his two asses laden, and his concubine were with him.
11 तिनीहरू यबूसको नजिकै पुग्दा, साँझ पर्न लागेको थियो, र त्यस सेवकले आफ्नो मालिकलाई भन्यो, “आउनुहोस्, हामी यबूसीहरूको सहरतर्फ फर्कौं र यो रात त्यहाँ बिताऔं ।”
When they were neere to Iebus, the day was sore spent, and the seruant said vnto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let vs turne into this citie of the Iebusites, and lodge all night there.
12 त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई भने, “हामी परदेशीहरूको सहरतर्फ जानेछैनौं जो इस्राएलका मानिसहरू होइनन् । हामी गिबामा जानेछौं ।”
And his master answered him, We will not turne into the citie of strangers that are not of the children of Israel, but we will goe forth to Gibeah.
13 ती लेवीले आफ्नो त्यो जवान मानिसलाई भने, “जाऔं, गिबा वा रामामध्ये कुनै एक ठाउँमा यो रात बिताऔं ।”
And he said vnto his seruant, Come, and let vs drawe neere to one of these places, that wee may lodge in Gibeah or in Ramah.
14 यसैले तिनीहरू हिँडिरहे, र तिनीहरू बेन्यामीनको इलाका गिबानजिकै आउँदा घाम अस्तायो ।
So they went forward vpon their way, and the sunne went downe vpon them neere to Gibeah, which is in Beniamin.
15 तिनीहरू त्यो रात बिताउन गिबामा नै रोकिए । तिनीहरू गए र सहरको चोकमा बसे, तर त्यो रात कसैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो घरभित्र लगेनन् ।
Then they turned thither to goe in and lodge in Gibeah: and when he came, he sate him downe in a streete of the citie: for there was no man that tooke them into his house to lodging.
16 तर त्यो साँझ एक जना वृद्ध मानिस खेतमा काम गरेर फर्किरहेका थिए । तिनी एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशका थिए, र तिनी केही समयको लागि गिबामा बसोबास गरिरहेका थिए । तर त्यस ठाउँमा बस्ने मानिसहरू बेन्यामिनीहरू थिए ।
And beholde, there came an old man from his work out of the field at euen, and the man was of mount Ephraim, but dwelt in Gibeah: and the men of the place were the children of Iemini.
17 तिनले आफ्नो नजर उठाए र सहरको चोकमा यात्रुलाई देखे । ती वृद्ध मानिसले भने, “तपाईंहरू कहाँ जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ? तपाईंहरू कहाँबाट आउनुभएको हो?”
And when he had lift vp his eyes, he sawe a wayfairing man in the streetes of the citie: then this olde man sayde, Whither goest thou, and whence camest thou?
18 ती लेवीले तिनलाई भने, “हामी यहूदाको बेथलेहेमबाट एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको सबैभन्दा दुर्गम ठाउँमा जाँदैछौं, जहाँको म बासिन्दा हुँ । म यहूदाको बेथलेहेममा गएको थिएँ, र म परमप्रभुको घरमा जाँदैछु, तर मलाई आफ्नो घरभित्र लाने कोही पनि छैन ।
And hee answered him, Wee came from Beth-lehem Iudah, vnto the side of Mout Ephraim: from thence am I: and I went to Beth-lehem Iudah, and go now to the house of the Lord: and no man receiueth mee to house,
19 हामीसँग यी गधाहरूका निम्ति पराल र अरू खुवाउने कुरा छन्, र म र तपाईंका यी सेविका र यो सेवकको निम्ति पनि पुग्ने रोटी र दाखमद्य मसँग छ । हामीलाई केही पनि चाहिंदैन ।”
Although we haue straw and prouader for our asses, and also bread and wine for me and thine handmayde, and for the boy that is with thy seruant: we lacke nothing.
20 ती वृद्ध मानिसले तिनीहरूलाई अभिवादन गरे, “तपाईंहरूलाई शान्ति! म तपाईंका सबै खाँचोको ख्याल गर्नेछु । केवल यस चोकमा रात नबिताउनुहोस् ।”
And the olde man sayde, Peace bee with thee: as for all that thou lackest, shalt thou finde with me: onely abide not in the streete al night.
21 त्यसैले ती मानिसले ती लेवीलाई आफ्नो घरभित्र ल्याए र गधाहरूलाई केही खान दिए । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना खुट्टा धोए र खाए र पिए ।
So he brought him into his house, and gaue fodder vnto the asses: and they washed their feete, and did eate and drinke.
22 जब तिनीहरू खुशी मनाइरहेका थिए, सहरका केही काम नलाग्ने मानिसहरूले घरलाई घेरे र ढोकामा हिर्काउन थाले । घरका मालिक, ती वृद्ध मानिसलाई तिनीहरूले यसो भने, “तिम्रो घरमा आएको मानिसलाई यहाँ बाहिर निकाल, ताकि हामी त्यससँग सहवास गर्नेछौं ।”
And as they were making their hearts merie, beholde, the men of the citie, wicked men beset the house round about, and smote at the doore, and spake to this olde man the master of the house saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may knowe him.
23 घरका मालिक ती मानिस तिनीहरूकहाँ बाहिर गए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “होइन, मेरा भाइहरू हो, यस्तो दुष्ट काम नगर्नुहोस्! यी मानिस मेरो घरमा पाहुना भएका हुनाले, यस्तो दुष्ट काम नगर्नुहोस्!
And this man the master of ye house went out vnto the, and said vnto them, Nay my brethre, do not so wickedly, I pray you: seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this villenie.
24 हेर्नुहोस्, मेरी कन्ये छोरी र तिनकी उपपत्नी यहीं छन् । म तिनीहरूलाई अहिल्यै बाहिर ल्याउनेछु । तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंहरूले जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ, त्यही गर्नुहोस् । तर यी मानिसलाई त्यस्तो दुष्ट काम नगर्नुहोस् ।”
Behold, here is my daughter, a virgine, and his concubine: them wil I bring out nowe, and humble them, and doe with them what seemeth you good: but to this man doe not this villenie.
25 तर ती मानिसहरूले तिनको कुरा सुनेनन्, यसैले त्यस मानिसले आफ्नी उपपत्नीलाई समाते र उसलाई बाहिर लगे । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बलात्कार गरे र रातभरी त्यसलाई दुर्व्यवहार गरे, र झिसमिसेमा त्यसलाई छोडिदिए ।
But the men woulde not hearken to him: therefore ye man tooke his concubine, and brought her out vnto them: and they knewe her and abused her all the night vnto the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her goe.
26 झिसमिसेमा त्यो स्त्री आई र त्यस मानिसको घरको ढोकामा आएर लडी जहाँ त्यसका मालिक थिए, र बिहान नभएसम्म त्यो त्यहीँ नै लडिरही ।
So the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell downe at the doore of the mans house where her Lord was, till the light day.
27 त्यसका मालिक बिहान उठे र घरका ढोकाहरू खोले र आफ्नो बाटो जानलाई हिंडे । तिनले आफ्नी उपपत्नीलाई आफ्नो हात पसारेर ढोकामा लडिरहेकी देखे ।
And her lorde arose in the morning, and opened the doores of the house, and went out to goe his way, and beholde, the woman his concubine was dead at the doore of the house and her handes lay vpon the thresholde.
28 ती लेवीले त्यसलाई भने, “उठ, जाऔं ।” तर केही जवाफ आएन । तिनले त्यसलाई आफ्नो गधामा राखे, र ती मानिस घर जान हिंडे ।
And hee said vnto her, Vp and let vs goe: but shee answered not. Then he tooke her vp vpon the asse, and the man rose vp, and went vnto his place.
29 जब ती लेवी घर पुगे, तिनले एउटा छुरी लिए, र आफ्नी उपपत्नीलाई समाए र अङ्ग-अङ्ग गरी बाह्र टुक्रा गरी काटे र ती टुक्राहरूलाई इस्राएलभरी पठाए ।
And whe he was come to his house, he took a knife, and laid hand on his concubine, and deuided her in pieces with her bones into twelue parts, and sent her through all quarters of Israel.
30 यो देख्ने सबैले भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर आएदेखि आजको दिनसम्म यस्तो कहिल्यै गरिएको वा देखिएको थिएन । यसको बारेमा विचार गर! हामीलाई सल्लाह देओ! हामीले के गर्ने हामीलाई बताओ!”
And all that saw it, said, There was no such thing done or seene since the time that the children of Israel came vp from the lande of Egypt vnto this day: consider the matter, consult and giue sentence.
