न्यायकर्ताहरू 20
1 त्यसपछि दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मका इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र गिलादको भूमिबाट समेत सबै एक भएर निस्के र परमप्रभुको अगि मिस्पामा एकसाथ भेला भए ।
Then went out all the children of Israel, and the congregation was assembled together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', with the land of Gil'ad, unto the Lord in 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 there presented themselves the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand men on foot that drew the 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 Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Speak, how 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 murdered, answered and said, I came to Gib'ah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to stay one night,
5 रातको बेला गिबाका अगुवाहरूले घरलाई घेरेर मलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले आक्रमण गरे । तिनीहरूले मेरी उपपत्नीलाई बलात्कार गरे र त्यो मरी ।
When the men of Gib'ah rose against me, and beset the house round about against me by night; me they intended to slay; and my concubine 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 ।
And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her about throughout all the fields of the inheritance of Israel; for they had committed incest and scandal in Israel.
7 यसैले, ए सारा इस्राएलीहरू हो, तपाईंहरूको सल्लाह र सुझाव यहाँ दिनुहोस् ।”
Behold, ye are all here children of Israel: furnish for yourselves here advice and 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 then arose as one man, saying, We will not go any of us to his tent, neither will we turn any of us into his house.
9 तर अब हामी गिबालाई यस्तो गर्नेछौं: गोला हालेर पाएको निर्देशनअनुसार हामी त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछौं ।
And now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gib'ah: 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 ।”
And we will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to procure provisions for the people; that they may do, when they come to Gib'ah of Benjamin, in accordance with all the scandalous deed that they have wrought in Israel.
11 यसैले इस्राएलका सबै सिपाहीहरू त्यस सहरको विरुद्ध एकतावद्ध भएर भेला भए ।
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, associated 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 through all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that hath 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 ।
Now therefore deliver up the men, those worthless people, who are in Gib'ah, that we may put them to death, and remove 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 unto Gib'ah, to go out to battle 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 at that time there were numbered of the children of Benjamin out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew the sword, beside the inhabitants of Gib'ah, 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 lame in the right hand: every one of these could sling a stone at a hair, and would 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, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew the 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 Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and the children of Israel said, Who of us shall go up at first to the battle with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah, at 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 Gib'ah.
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 with Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in battle-array against them by Gib'ah.
21 बेन्यामीनीहरू गिबाबाट बाहिर निस्के, र तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन इस्राएलको सेनाका बाइस हजार मानिसहरूलाई मारे ।
And the Children of Benjamin came forth out of Gib'ah, and struck down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and 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 themselves again in battle-array in the place where they had arrayed themselves 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 until the evening, and asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I again approach to battle with the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord 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 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 Benjamin went forth against them out of Gib'ah on the second day, and struck down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men: all these were men that 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 ।
Now all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the Lord, and fasted on that day until the evening, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.
27 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसरी सोधे— किनकि परमेश्वरका करारको सन्दुक ती दिनहरूमा त्यहीं थियो,
And the children of Israel inquired of the Lord, (for there was the ark of the covenant of God 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 Elazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, shall I yet continue to go out to battle with the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I forbear? And the Lord said, Go up; for tomorrow will I deliver him into thy hand.
29 यसैले इस्राएलले गिबा वरिपरि गुप्त ठाउँहरूमा मानिसहरूलाई राखे ।
And Israel sent men to lie in wait round about Gib'ah.
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 Gib'ah, as at previous 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 they began to smite some of the people, and kill, as at previous times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gib'ah 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 defeated before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto 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 Ba'al-thamar: and those that lay in wait of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Gib'ah.
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 against Gib'ah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that the evil was overtaking 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 smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites on that day twenty and five thousand and one hundred men: all these were those that 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 defeated; for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto those that lay in wait whom they had set against Gib'ah.
37 तब लुकिरहेका मानिसहरू उठे र हतार गर्दै गिबाभित्र पसे, र सारा सहरलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारको धारले प्रहार गरे ।
And those in ambush hastened, and spread themselves over Gib'ah; and those that lay in wait moved along, and smote all 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 ।
Now there was an understanding between the men of Israel and those that lay in wait, that they should make an abundance of columns 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 round in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are entirely defeated 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 ।
Then began the cloud to arise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke; and when the Benjamites looked behind them, behold, the flames of all the city were ascending up to heaven.
41 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध जाइलागे । बेन्यामीनीहरू आतङ्कित भए, किनकि तिनीहरूमा विपत्ति आइलागेको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that the evil had overtaken 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 ।
Therefore they turned round before the men of Israel unto the way to the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
43 तिनीहरूले बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई घेरे, तिनीहरूलाई खेदे र तिनीहरूलाई गिबाको पूर्वमा नोहामा खत्तम पारे ।
They enclosed the Benjamites round about, chased them, they overtook them in their places of rest, as far as opposite to Gib'ah toward the rising of the sun.
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 valor.
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 toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and they pursued hard after them as far as Gid'om, and slew 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 ।
So that all who fell on that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword: all these were men of valor.
47 तर छ सय मानिसहरू उजाड-स्थानमा रिम्मोनको चट्टानतिर भागे । चार महिनासम्म तिनीहरू रिम्मोनको चट्टानमा बसे ।
But six hundred men turned and fled into the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and they abode on the rock 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 beasts, and all that was found: also all the cities that they came upon did they set on fire.
