1 त्यसपछि दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मका इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र गिलादको भूमिबाट समेत सबै एक भएर निस्के र परमप्रभुको अगि मिस्पामा एकसाथ भेला भए ।
And all the children of Israel went forth, and the assembly gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah at Mizpah.
2 इस्राएलका सबै कुलका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरू परमेश्‍वरका मानिसहरूको भेलामा आफ्‍नो सहभागीता जनाए— त्यहाँ चार लाख जना पैदल हिंड्‍ने मानिसहरू तरवार लिएर युद्ध गर्न तयार थिए ।
And the heads of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
3 बेन्यामिनका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मिस्पामा गएका कुरा सुने । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले भने, “यस्तो दुष्‍ट काम कसरी भयो त्‍यो हामीलाई भन ।”
And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. And the children of Israel said, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?
4 त्यो मारिएकी स्‍त्रीका पति ती लेवीले जवाफ दिए, “म र मेरी उपपत्‍नी बेन्यामीनको इलाकामा पर्ने गिबामा रात कटाउन गएका थियौं ।
Then the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gibeah that [belongs] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 रातको बेला गिबाका अगुवाहरूले घरलाई घेरेर मलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले आक्रमण गरे । तिनीहरूले मेरी उपपत्‍नीलाई बलात्कार गरे र त्यो मरी ।
And the citizens of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house because of me, by night; they thought to slay me, and my concubine have they humbled so that she died.
6 मैले मेरी पत्‍नीलाई ल्‍याएँ र त्यसको लाशलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा गरी काटें, र ती इस्राएलको उत्तराधिकारको हरेक इलाकामा पठाएँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले इस्राएलमा यतिसम्मको दुष्‍टता र अत्याचार गरेका छन् ।
Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and villany in Israel.
7 यसैले, ए सारा इस्राएलीहरू हो, तपाईंहरूको सल्लाह र सुझाव यहाँ दिनुहोस् ।”
Behold, all ye, children of Israel, deliberate and give here [your] counsel.
8 सबै मानिसहरू एक भएर खडा भए र तिनीहरूले भने “हामी कोही पनि आफ्नो पालमा जानेछैनौं र हामी कोही पनि घर फर्कनेछैनौं ।
And all the people rose up as one man, saying, We will not any one go to his tent, neither will we any one turn into his house.
9 तर अब हामी गिबालाई यस्तो गर्नेछौं: गोला हालेर पाएको निर्देशनअनुसार हामी त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछौं ।
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: [we go] by lot against it;
10 हामी इस्राएलका सबै कुलहरूबाट एक सयबाट दश, एक हजारबाट एक सय, र दश हजारबाट एक हजारलाई मानिसहरूलाई अरूका निम्‍ति खानेकुराको प्रबन्‍ध गर्न राख्‍नेछौं, ताकि तिनीहरू बेन्यामीनको गिबामा आउँदा, उनीहरूले इस्राएलमा गरेका दुष्‍टताको लागि तिनीहरूले दण्ड दिन सकून् ।”
and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the villany that they have wrought in Israel.
11 यसैले इस्राएलका सबै सिपाहीहरू त्यस सहरको विरुद्ध एकतावद्ध भएर भेला भए ।
And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 इस्राएलका कुलहरूले बेन्यामीनको कुलका सबैलाई यसो भन्दै मानिसहरू पठाए, “तिमीहरूका बिचमा गरिएको दुष्‍टता के हो?
And the tribes of Israel sent men to all the families of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has been done among you?
13 यसकारण, गिबाका ती दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूलाई हामीलाई सुम्‍पिदेओ, ताकि हामी तिनीहरूलाई मार्नेछौं र यसरी इस्राएलबाट हामी यो दुष्‍टता पूर्ण रूपमा हटाउनेछौं ।” तर बेन्यामीनीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइ, अर्थात् इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको कुरा सुनेनन् ।
And now give up the men, the sons of Belial, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But [the children of] Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
14 त्यसपछि बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू एक साथ गिबाका सहरहरूबाट बाहिर निस्के र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न तयार भए ।
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities of Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूले त्यस दिन आफ्ना सहरहरूबाट तरवार बोकेर युद्ध लड्नको निम्ति तालिम प्राप्‍त छब्बीस हजार सिपाहीलाई एकसाथ ल्याए । यसका साथै, त्‍यहाँ गिबाका बासिन्दाहरूबाट सात सय चुनिएकाहरू मानिसहरू थिए ।
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 यी सबै सेनाहरूमा सात सय चुनिएका मानिसहरूले देब्रे हात चलाउँथे । तिनीहरू हरेकले घुयेंत्रोले कपालमा हान्‍न सक्‍थे र निशाना चुकाउँदैनथे ।
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; all these slang stones at a hair [breadth], and missed not.
17 बेन्यामीनीहरूको सङ्ख्यालाई गणना नगरी इस्राएलका मानिसहरू चार लाख जना थिए, जो तरवारले युद्ध लड्नलाई तालिम प्राप्‍त थिए । यी सबै युद्ध गर्ने मानिसहरू थिए ।
And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
18 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू उठे, बेथेलमा गए, र परमेश्‍वरबाट सल्लाह मागे । तिनीहरूले सोधे, “बेन्यामिनीहरूलाई हाम्रा निम्‍ति कसले पहिले आक्रमण गर्नेछ?” परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “यहूदाले पहिले आक्रमण गर्नेछ ।”
And the children of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.
19 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बिहान उठे र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो छाउनी गिबाको नजिक सारे ।
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
20 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनको विरुद्ध युद्ध लड्न बाहिर निस्के । तिनीहरू गिबामा उनीहरूका विरुद्ध युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएर बसे ।
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
21 बेन्यामीनीहरू गिबाबाट बाहिर निस्के, र तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन इस्राएलको सेनाका बाइस हजार मानिसहरूलाई मारे ।
And the children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men.
22 तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आफूलाई बलियो पारे र तिनीहरू पहिलो दिनमा जुन स्थानमा तयार भएर बसेका थिए त्यसै ठाउँमा युद्धको निम्ति तयार भए ।
And the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and set the battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
23 तब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू माथि उक्ले र साँझसम्म परमप्रभुको अगि रोए, र उहाँबाट निर्देशनको खोजी गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “के हाम्रा दाजुभाइ, अर्थात् बेन्यामीनीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न हामी फेरि जाऔं?” परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर!”
And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even, and inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
24 यसैकारण दोस्रो दिनमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनका सेनाहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न गए ।
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 दोस्रो दिनमा, गिबाबाट बेन्यामीनीहरू तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध बाहिर निस्के र तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका अठार हजार मानिसहरूलाई मारे । तिनीहरू सबै तरवारले लडाइँ गर्नलाई तालिम प्राप्‍त मानिसहरू थिए ।
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and again destroyed to the ground of the children of Israel eighteen thousand men: all these drew the sword.
26 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका सबै सेना र सबै मानिसहरू बेथेलमा उक्ले र रोए, र तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको अगि बसे र तिनीहरू त्यस दिन साँझसम्म उपवास बसे र परमप्रभुलाई होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाए ।
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up and came to Bethel, and wept, and abode there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.
27 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसरी सोधे— किनकि परमेश्‍वरका करारको सन्दुक ती दिनहरूमा त्यहीं थियो,
And the children of Israel inquired of Jehovah (and the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 र हारूनका नाति, एलाजारका छोरा पीनहासले सन्दुकको सामु सेवा गर्थे— “के हाम्रा दाजुभाइ, अर्थात् बेन्यामीनीहरूका विरुद्ध हामी फेरि युद्धमा जाऔं, वा रोकौं?” परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “आक्रमण गर, किनकि भोलीको दिन तिनीहरूलाई पराजय गर्न म तिमीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नेछु ।”
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will give them into thy hand.
29 यसैले इस्राएलले गिबा वरिपरि गुप्‍त ठाउँहरूमा मानिसहरूलाई राखे ।
And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
30 तेस्रो दिनमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनीहरूसँग लडे, र तिनीहरूले पहिलो दिनमा गरेझैं गिबाको विरुद्धमा त्यही स्थानबाट युद्ध गरे ।
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at the other times.
31 बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू गए र ती मानिसहरूसँग युद्ध लडे, र तिनीहरूलाई सहरबाट टाढा पुर्‍याइयो । तिनीहरूले केही मानिसलाई मार्न थाले । खेतहरू र सडकहरूमा मर्नेहरूमा इस्राएलका करिब तिस जना मानिस थिए । एउटा बाटो बेथेल तर्फ जान्थ्यो, र अर्को गिबातर्फ जान्थ्यो ।
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city, and began to smite of the people, slaying as at the former times, in the highways, of which one leads to Bethel and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 तब बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूले भने, “तिनीहरू हारेका छन् र पहिलो पल्‍टझैं तिनीहरू हामीबाट भाग्दैछन् ।” तर इस्राएलका सिपाहीहरूले भने, “हामी पछि हटौं र तिनीहरूलाई सहरबाट टाढा सडकहरूमा लैजाऔं ।”
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. And the children of Israel said, Let us flee, that we may draw them from the city to the highways.
33 इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना ठाउँबाट उठे र बाल-तामारमा युद्धको निम्ति तयार भए । त्यसपछि गुप्‍त स्थानहरूमा लुकिरहेका इस्राएलका सेनाहरू आ-आफ्ना ठाउँ गिबाबाट निस्किआए ।
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-Tamar; and the ambush of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Geba.
34 सारा इस्राएलबाट गिबाको विरुद्ध त्यहाँ दश हजार चुनिएका मानिसहरू आए, र तिनीहरूको बिचमा घमासान युद्ध भयो, तर बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको विनाश नजिकै छ भन्‍ने कुरा थाहा थिएन ।
And there came from opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that disaster was coming upon them.
35 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको सामु बेन्यामीनलाई परास्त गर्नुभयो । त्यस दिन, इस्राएलका सेनाहरूले बेन्यामीनका २५,१०० मानिसहरूलाई मारे । त्यहाँ मर्नेहरू सबै तरवारले युद्ध गर्नलाई तालिम प्राप्‍त थिए ।
And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.
36 यसैले बेन्यामीनका सेनाहरूले आफ़ूहरू हारेका देखे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई रणभूमिमा मौका दिएकाजस्तै गरेका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरूले गिबाभन्दा बाहिर गुप्‍त स्थानहरूमा लिकेका मानिसहरू गणना गरिरहेका थिए ।
And the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. — And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the ambush that they had set against Gibeah.
37 तब लुकिरहेका मानिसहरू उठे र हतार गर्दै गिबाभित्र पसे, र सारा सहरलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारको धारले प्रहार गरे ।
And the ambush hasted, and fell upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew along, and smote the whole city with the edge of the sword.
38 इस्राएलका सेनाहरू र गुप्‍तमा लुकेका मानिसहरूबिच एउटा चिन्हको सल्लाह भएको थियो र त्योचाहिं सहरबाट धुँवाको ठुलो मुस्लो माथि जाँनुपर्छ भन्‍ने थियो ।
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambush, that they should make a thick column of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 त्यो चिन्ह पठाएपछि इस्राएलका सेनाहरू युद्धबाट फर्कनुपर्थ्‍यो । बेन्यामीनीहरूले आक्रमण गर्न थाले र तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका तिस जना जति मानिसलाई मारे, र तिनीहरूले भने, “पहिलो युद्धमा झैं तिनीहरू निश्‍चय नै हामीबाट परास्त भएका छन् ।”
And when the men of Israel turned back in the battle, Benjamin began to smite, slaying of the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they are quite routed before us as in the first battle.
40 तर जब सहरबाट धुँवाको मुस्लो माथि उठ्‍न थाल्‍यो, तब बेन्यामीनीहरूले फर्केर हेरे र सारा सहरबाट आकाशतर्फ धुँवा उडेको देखे ।
And when the burning began to rise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke, Benjamin looked behind, and behold, the whole city ascended [in smoke] to the heavens.
41 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध जाइलागे । बेन्यामीनीहरू आतङ्कित भए, किनकि तिनीहरूमा विपत्ति आइलागेको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was come upon them.
42 यसैले तिनीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूबाट भागे, र उजाड-स्‍थानतिर गए । तर युद्धले तिनीहरूलाई भेटाइहाल्यो । इस्राएलका सेनाहरू सहरहरूबाट आए र तिनीहरू भएकै ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई मारे ।
And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in their midst.
43 तिनीहरूले बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई घेरे, तिनीहरूलाई खेदे र तिनीहरूलाई गिबाको पूर्वमा नोहामा खत्तम पारे ।
They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
44 बेन्यामीनी कुलबाट अठार हजार जना मानिसहरू मरे, र ती सबै मानिसहरू युद्धमा विशिष्‍ट थिए ।
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these, men of valour.
45 तिनीहरू युद्धबाट फर्के र उजाड-स्‍थानमा रिम्मोनको चट्टानतर्फ भागे । इस्राएलीहरूले बाटोहरूमा तिनीहरूका अरू पाँच हजार जना मानिसहरूलाई मारे । उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई गीदोमसम्मै लखेटिरहे र त्यहाँ अरू दुई हजार जनालाई मारे ।
And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
46 त्यस दिन मर्नेहरूमा पच्‍चीस हजार बेन्यामीनी सेनाहरू थिए जो तरवारले लडाइँ गर्नको निम्ति तालिम प्राप्‍त थिए । तिनीहरू सबै युद्ध गर्न निपुण थिए ।
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour.
47 तर छ सय मानिसहरू उजाड-स्‍थानमा रिम्मोनको चट्टानतिर भागे । चार महिनासम्म तिनीहरू रिम्मोनको चट्टानमा बसे ।
And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months.
48 इस्राएलका सेनाहरू बेन्यामीनी मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध फर्के र तिनीहरूलाई, र सहर र पशुहरू, र त्यहाँ भएका सबै कुरालाई तरवारको धारले प्रहार गरे । आफ्नो बाटोमा सबै नगरलाई समेत तिनीहरूले जलाइदिए ।
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city as the cattle, and all that was found; even all the cities that were found did they set on fire.
