न्यायकर्ताहरू 20
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 out, and all the congregation was gathered as one man, from Dan even to Bersabee, and in the land of Galaad, to the Lord at Massepha.
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 all the tribes of Israel stood before the Lord in the assembly 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 were gone up to Massepha: and the children of Israel came and said, Tell us, where did this wickedness take place?
4 त्यो मारिएकी स्त्रीका पति ती लेवीले जवाफ दिए, “म र मेरी उपपत्नी बेन्यामीनको इलाकामा पर्ने गिबामा रात कटाउन गएका थियौं ।
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I and my concubine went to Gabaa of Benjamin to lodge.
5 रातको बेला गिबाका अगुवाहरूले घरलाई घेरेर मलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले आक्रमण गरे । तिनीहरूले मेरी उपपत्नीलाई बलात्कार गरे र त्यो मरी ।
And the men of Gabaa rose up against me, and compassed the house by night against me; they wished to kill me, and they have humbled my concubine, and she is dead.
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 ।
And I laid hold of my concubine, and divided her in pieces, and sent [the parts] into every coast of the inheritance of the children of Israel; for they have wrought lewdness and abomination in Israel.
7 यसैले, ए सारा इस्राएलीहरू हो, तपाईंहरूको सल्लाह र सुझाव यहाँ दिनुहोस् ।”
Behold, all you [are] children of Israel; and consider and take counsel here among yourselves.
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, No one of us shall return to his tent, and no one of us shall return to his house.
9 तर अब हामी गिबालाई यस्तो गर्नेछौं: गोला हालेर पाएको निर्देशनअनुसार हामी त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछौं ।
And now this [is] the thing which shall be done in Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.
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 ।”
Moreover we will take ten men for a hundred for all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred for a thousand, and a thousand for ten thousand, to take provision, to cause them to come to Gabaa of Benjamin, to do to it according to all the abomination, which they wrought in Israel.
11 यसैले इस्राएलका सबै सिपाहीहरू त्यस सहरको विरुद्ध एकतावद्ध भएर भेला भए ।
And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city 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 through the whole tribe of Benjamin, saying, What [is] this wickedness that has been wrought 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 ।
Now then give up the men the sons of transgressors that are in Gabaa, and we will put them to death, and purge out wickedness from Israel: but the children of Benjamin consented not to listen 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 were gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with 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 from their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, [every] man drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;
16 यी सबै सेनाहरूमा सात सय चुनिएका मानिसहरूले देब्रे हात चलाउँथे । तिनीहरू हरेकले घुयेंत्रोले कपालमा हान्न सक्थे र निशाना चुकाउँदैनथे ।
All these could sling with stones at a hair, and not miss.
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, exclusive of 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 they arose and went up to Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Juda shall go up first as leader.
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 Gabaa.
20 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनको विरुद्ध युद्ध लड्न बाहिर निस्के । तिनीहरू गिबामा उनीहरूका विरुद्ध युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएर बसे ।
And they went out, all the men of Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.
21 बेन्यामीनीहरू गिबाबाट बाहिर निस्के, र तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन इस्राएलको सेनाका बाइस हजार मानिसहरूलाई मारे ।
And the sons of Benjamin went forth from Gabaa, and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men down to the ground.
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 men of Israel strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where they had engaged on 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 the Lord till evening, and enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we again draw near to battle with our brethren the children of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up against them.
24 यसैकारण दोस्रो दिनमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनका सेनाहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न गए ।
And the children of Israel advanced against the children of Benjamin on 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 the children of Benjamin went forth to meet them from Gabaa on the second day, and destroyed of the children of Israel yet further eighteen thousand men down to the ground: all these drew 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 ।
And the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Baethel; and they wept, and sat there before the Lord; and they fasted on that day until evening, and offered whole burnt offerings and perfect sacrifices, before the Lord,
27 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसरी सोधे— किनकि परमेश्वरका करारको सन्दुक ती दिनहरूमा त्यहीं थियो,
for the ark of the Lord 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 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron stood before it in those days; and the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we yet again go forth to fight with our brethren the sons of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up, to-morrow I will give them into your hands.
29 यसैले इस्राएलले गिबा वरिपरि गुप्त ठाउँहरूमा मानिसहरूलाई राखे ।
And the children of Israel set an ambush against Gabaa round about [it].
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 arrayed themselves against Gabaa as before.
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 to meet the people, and were all drawn out of the city, and began to strike and kill the people as before in the roads, whereof one goes up to Baethel, and one to Gabaa 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 fall before us as at the first: but the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them out from the city into the roads; and they did so.
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 rose up out of their places, and engaged in Baal Thamar; and the liers in wait of Israel advanced from their place from Maraagabe.
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 over against Gabaa ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel; and the fight [was] severe; and they knew not that evil 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 the Lord struck Benjamin before the children of Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin in that day a hundred and twenty-five thousand men: all these drew 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 struck; and the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted in the ambuscade which they had prepared against Gabaa.
37 तब लुकिरहेका मानिसहरू उठे र हतार गर्दै गिबाभित्र पसे, र सारा सहरलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारको धारले प्रहार गरे ।
And when they retreated, then the liers in wait rose up, and they moved toward Gabaa, and the whole ambush came forth, and they struck the 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 ।
And the children of Israel had a signal of battle with the liers in wait, that they should send up a signal of smoke from 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 the children of Israel saw that the liers in wait had seized Gabaa, and they stood in line of battle; and Benjamin began to strike down wounded ones among the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they fall again 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 the signal went up increasingly over the city as a pillar of smoke; and Benjamin looked behind him, and behold the destruction of the city went up to heaven.
41 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध जाइलागे । बेन्यामीनीहरू आतङ्कित भए, किनकि तिनीहरूमा विपत्ति आइलागेको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin hasted, because they saw that evil had 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 to the way of the wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle overtook them, and they from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
43 तिनीहरूले बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई घेरे, तिनीहरूलाई खेदे र तिनीहरूलाई गिबाको पूर्वमा नोहामा खत्तम पारे ।
And they cut down Benjamin, and pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gabaa on the east.
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 [were] men of might.
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 the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon; and the children of Israel picked off of them five thousand men; and the children of Israel went down after them as far as Gedan, and they struck of them two thousand men.
46 त्यस दिन मर्नेहरूमा पच्चीस हजार बेन्यामीनी सेनाहरू थिए जो तरवारले लडाइँ गर्नको निम्ति तालिम प्राप्त थिए । तिनीहरू सबै युद्ध गर्न निपुण थिए ।
And all that fell of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew sword in that day: all these were men of might.
47 तर छ सय मानिसहरू उजाड-स्थानमा रिम्मोनको चट्टानतिर भागे । चार महिनासम्म तिनीहरू रिम्मोनको चट्टानमा बसे ।
And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon, even [six] hundred men; and they sojourned four months in the rock of Remmon.
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 children of Israel returned to the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword from the city of Methla, even to the cattle, and every thing that was found in all the cities: and they burnt with fire the cities they found.
