न्यायकर्ताहरू 20
1 त्यसपछि दानदेखि बेर्शेबासम्मका इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र गिलादको भूमिबाट समेत सबै एक भएर निस्के र परमप्रभुको अगि मिस्पामा एकसाथ भेला भए ।
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD 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 ।
The leaders of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword.
3 बेन्यामिनका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मिस्पामा गएका कुरा सुने । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले भने, “यस्तो दुष्ट काम कसरी भयो त्यो हामीलाई भन ।”
(Now the people of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?"
4 त्यो मारिएकी स्त्रीका पति ती लेवीले जवाफ दिए, “म र मेरी उपपत्नी बेन्यामीनको इलाकामा पर्ने गिबामा रात कटाउन गएका थियौं ।
The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my secondary wife, to spend the night.
5 रातको बेला गिबाका अगुवाहरूले घरलाई घेरेर मलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले आक्रमण गरे । तिनीहरूले मेरी उपपत्नीलाई बलात्कार गरे र त्यो मरी ।
And the leaders of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me, and they raped my secondary wife, 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 ।
I took my secondary wife, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed wickedness and disgrace in Israel.
7 यसैले, ए सारा इस्राएलीहरू हो, तपाईंहरूको सल्लाह र सुझाव यहाँ दिनुहोस् ।”
Look, you children of Israel, all of you, give your advice and counsel here."
8 सबै मानिसहरू एक भएर खडा भए र तिनीहरूले भने “हामी कोही पनि आफ्नो पालमा जानेछैनौं र हामी कोही पनि घर फर्कनेछैनौं ।
All the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us return to 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 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 of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get food for the people, those setting forth, that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin they may repay all the disgrace that they have committed in Israel."
11 यसैले इस्राएलका सबै सिपाहीहरू त्यस सहरको विरुद्ध एकतावद्ध भएर भेला भए ।
So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.
12 इस्राएलका कुलहरूले बेन्यामीनको कुलका सबैलाई यसो भन्दै मानिसहरू पठाए, “तिमीहरूका बिचमा गरिएको दुष्टता के हो?
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that has happened 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, the wicked men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
14 त्यसपछि बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू एक साथ गिबाका सहरहरूबाट बाहिर निस्के र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न तयार भए ।
The people of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to 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 ।
The people of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the 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; everyone could sling 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 ।
The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who 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 ।”
The children of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God; and they said, "Who shall go up for us first to battle against the people of Benjamin?" The LORD said, "Judah will go up first."
19 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बिहान उठे र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो छाउनी गिबाको नजिक सारे ।
The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and camped against Gibeah.
20 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनको विरुद्ध युद्ध लड्न बाहिर निस्के । तिनीहरू गिबामा उनीहरूका विरुद्ध युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएर बसे ।
The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21 बेन्यामीनीहरू गिबाबाट बाहिर निस्के, र तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन इस्राएलको सेनाका बाइस हजार मानिसहरूलाई मारे ।
The people of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on 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 ।
The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set 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!”
The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, "Shall I again draw near to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother?" The LORD said, "Go up against him."
24 यसैकारण दोस्रो दिनमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनका सेनाहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न गए ।
The children of Israel came near against the people 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 ।
Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again 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 sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसरी सोधे— किनकि परमेश्वरका करारको सन्दुक ती दिनहरूमा त्यहीं थियो,
The children of Israel asked of the LORD (for 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), "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?" The LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand."
29 यसैले इस्राएलले गिबा वरिपरि गुप्त ठाउँहरूमा मानिसहरूलाई राखे ।
Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
30 तेस्रो दिनमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बेन्यामीनीहरूसँग लडे, र तिनीहरूले पहिलो दिनमा गरेझैं गिबाको विरुद्धमा त्यही स्थानबाट युद्ध गरे ।
The children of Israel went up against the people of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at 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 ।
The people of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill some of the people, as at other times, on the highways, of which one goes up 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 ।”
The people of Benjamin said, "They are defeated before us, as previously." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away 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 ।
All the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. And the men of Israel in ambush rushed out of their place west 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 ।
There came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they didn't know that disaster was close 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 ।
The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all armed with swords.
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 ।
So the people of Benjamin saw that they were defeated; for the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
37 तब लुकिरहेका मानिसहरू उठे र हतार गर्दै गिबाभित्र पसे, र सारा सहरलाई तिनीहरूले तरवारको धारले प्रहार गरे ।
The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the ambushers drew themselves along, and struck 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 the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud 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 ।”
The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, "Surely they are 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 ।
But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and look, the whole city went up in smoke into the sky.
41 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध जाइलागे । बेन्यामीनीहरू आतङ्कित भए, किनकि तिनीहरूमा विपत्ति आइलागेको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster had come on 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 their backs 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 its midst.
43 तिनीहरूले बेन्यामीनीहरूलाई घेरे, तिनीहरूलाई खेदे र तिनीहरूलाई गिबाको पूर्वमा नोहामा खत्तम पारे ।
They surrounded Benjamin, and they pursued them from Nohah and overtook them near Gibeah toward the east.
44 बेन्यामीनी कुलबाट अठार हजार जना मानिसहरू मरे, र ती सबै मानिसहरू युद्धमा विशिष्ट थिए ।
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 ।
They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they killed on the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck down 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 that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand swordsmen; all these were valiant fighters.
47 तर छ सय मानिसहरू उजाड-स्थानमा रिम्मोनको चट्टानतिर भागे । चार महिनासम्म तिनीहरू रिम्मोनको चट्टानमा बसे ।
But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock 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 ।
The men of Israel turned again on the people of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the livestock, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
