न्यायकर्ताहरू 3
1 यति बेला इस्राएलको अर्थात् कनानमा लडिएका कुनै पनि युद्धको अनुभव नभएका इस्राएलका हरेक व्यक्तिको जाँच गर्नलाई परमप्रभुले यी जातिहरूलाई छोडिदिनुभयो ।
Now these are the nations which YHWH left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 (युद्धको विषयमा पहिले जानकरी नभएका इस्राएलीहरूका नयाँ पुस्तालाई त्यसबारे सिकाउन उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो ।)
Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
3 ती जातिहरू यी नै हुन्: पलिश्तीहरूका पाँच राजाहरू, सबै कनानीहरू, सीदोनीहरू, र लेबनानका पर्वतहरूमा बाल-हर्मोनदेखि हमात-पाससम्म बस्ने हिव्वीहरू ।
Namely, five rulers of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
4 इस्राएलको जाँच गर्न, अनि परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएका आज्ञाहरू तिनीहरूले पालन गर्छन् कि गर्दैनन् भनेर निश्चित रूपमा थाहा पाउनलाई यी जातिहरूलाई छोडिएको थियो ।
And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of YHWH, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 यसैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू कनानीहरू, हित्तीहरू, एमोरीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, हिव्वीहरू, र यबूसीहरूसँगै बसोबास गरे ।
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
6 तिनीहरूका छोरीहरूलाई उनीहरूले आफ्ना पत्नीहरू बनाएर ल्याए, र उनीहरूका आफ्ना छोरीहरू तिनीहरूका छोराहरूलाई दिए र तिनीहरूका उनीहरूका देवताहरूका सेवा गरे ।
And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their elohim.
7 परमप्रभुको नजरमा जे कुरा दुष्ट थियो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यही गरे र परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई बिर्से । तिनीहरूले बाल देवताहरू र अशेरा देवीहरूका पुजा गरे ।
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of YHWH, and forgat YHWH their Elohim, and served Baalim and the groves.
8 यसकारण इस्राएलको विरुद्ध परमप्रभुको क्रोध आगोझैं दन्कियो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अराम नाहारैमका राजा कूशन-रिशातैमको हातमा बेचिदिनुभयो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले आठ वर्षसम्म कूशन-रिशातैमको सेवा गरे ।
Therefore the anger of YHWH was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
9 जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई सहायता गर्ने र तिनीहरूलाई बचाउने कोही एक जनालाई परमप्रभुले खडा गर्नुभयोः उनी कनाजका छोरा ओत्निएल (कालेबका भाइ) थिए ।
And when the children of Israel cried unto YHWH, YHWH raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
10 परमप्रभुको आत्माले उनलाई शक्ति दिनुभयो, र उनले इस्राएलको न्याय गरे र उनी युद्धमा गए । परमप्रभुले उनलाई अरामका राजा कूशन-रिशातैममाथि विजय दिनुभयो । ओत्निएलका हातले नै कूशन-रिशातैमलाई परास्त गरे ।
And the Spirit of YHWH came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and YHWH delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
11 देशमा चालिस वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो । त्यसपछि कनजका छोरा ओत्निएलको मृत्यु भयो ।
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 त्यसपछि, इस्राएलीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा खराब थियो, फेरि त्यही गरे, र परमप्रभुले मोआबका राजा एग्लोनलाई इस्राएलीहरूमाथि अधिकार गर्न दिनुभयो ।
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of YHWH: and YHWH strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of YHWH.
13 एग्लोन अम्मोनीहरू र अमालेकीहरूसँग मिले र तिनीहरू गए र इस्राएललाई हराए, अनि खजूरका रूखहरूको सहरमाथि अधिकार गरे ।
And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले अठार वर्षसम्म मोआबका राजा एग्लोनको सेवा गरे ।
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको पुकारा गरे, तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नलाई परमप्रभुले कोही एक जना बेन्यामिनी गेराका छोरा देब्रे हात चलाउने मानिस एहूदलाई खडा गर्नुभयो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले उनको साथमा मोआबका राजा एग्लोनकहाँ कर पठाए ।
But when the children of Israel cried unto YHWH, YHWH raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
16 एहूदले आफ्नो निम्ति एक हात लामो दुई धारे तरवार बनाए । त्यो तिनले आफ्नो दाहिने जाँघमा आफ्नो लुगाभित्र बाँधे ।
But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
17 तिनले मोआबका राजा एग्लोनलाई त्यो कर तिरे । (एग्लोन धेरै मोटो मानिस थिए ।)
And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
18 एहूदले कर तिरिसकेपछि, ती ल्याउनेहरूसँगै उनी फर्के ।
And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
19 गिलगालको नजिक कुँदेर बनाएका मुर्तिहरूको ठाउँमा जसै एहूद पुगे, उनी फर्के र फिर्ता गए, र भने, “मेरा राजा, तपाईंको निम्ति मसँग एउटा गुप्त सन्देश छ ।” एग्लोनले भने, “शान्त होओ!” यसैले उनको सेवा गर्ने सबैले त्यो कोठा छोडेर बाहिर गए ।
But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 एहूद तिनीकहाँ आए । राजाचाहिं माथिल्लो शीतल कक्षमा एक्लै बसिरहेका थिए । एहूदले भने, “मसँग तपाईंको निम्ति परमेश्वरको एउटा सन्देश छ ।” राजा आफ्नो ठाउँबाट उठे ।
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from Elohim unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
21 एहूदले आफ्नो देब्रे हातले आफ्नो दाहिने जाँघबाट तरवार झिके, र त्यो तिनले राजाको शरीरमा रोपिदिए ।
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
22 त्यो तरवार बींडसितै छिर्यो । उनको पछिल्तिरबाट त्यो तरवारको टुप्पो निस्कियो र बोसोले त्यसलाई ढाक्यो, अनि एहूदले उनको पेटबाट त्यो तरवार झिकेनन् ।
And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
23 त्यसपछि एहूद कौसीमा निस्के र माथिल्लो कक्षका आफू पछाडिका ढोकाहरू थुनिदिए र ताल्चा लगाइदिए ।
Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
24 एहूद गइसकेपछि, राजाका सेवकहरू आए । तिनीहरूले माथिल्लो कक्षका ढोकाहरूमा ताल्चा लागेको देखे । यसैले तिनीहरूले विचार गरे, “पक्कै पनि उहाँ माथिल्लो शीतल कक्षमा दिसा गरिरहनुभएको होला ।”
When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
25 राजाले माथिल्लो कक्षका ढोकाहरू नखोलेपछि, आफ्नो जिम्मेवारी पुरा नगरेकोझैं तिनीहरूलाई महसुस भएको हुनाले तिनीहरूलाई चिन्ता भयो । यसैले तिनीहरूले साँचो लिए र ढोकाहरू खोले, र आफ्ना मालिकलाई भुइँमा मृत अवस्थामा ढलेको देखे ।
And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their master was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 अब के गर्ने भनेर सेवकहरू कुरिरहेका बेला, एहूद भागेर कुँदेर बनाइएका मुर्तिहरू भएका ठाउँभन्दा पर पुगे, र उनी सीरामा भागे ।
And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
27 जब उनी आइपुगे, उनले एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा तुरही फुके । त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू उनीसँगै पहाडहरूबाट तल ओर्ले, र उनले तिनीहरूलाई नेतृत्व गरे ।
And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
28 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो पछि लाग, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका शत्रु मोआबीहरूलाई परास्त गर्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।” तिनीहरू उनको पछि लागे र तिनीहरूले मोआबीहरूबाट यर्दनका जँघारहरू लिए, र तिनीहरूले कसैलाई पनि त्यो नदी तर्न दिएनन् ।
And he said unto them, Follow after me: for YHWH hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
29 त्यस बेला तिनीहरूले मोआबका दश हजार मानिसहरूलाई मरे, र तिनीहरू सबै बलिया र सक्षम मानिसहरू थिए । एउटा पनि उम्केन ।
And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
30 यसैले त्यस दिन मोआब इस्राएलको शासनको अधीनमा आयो, र देशमा असी वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो ।
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
31 एहूदपछि अनातका छोरा शमगर अर्का न्यायकर्ता भए जसले पाल्तु पशु धपाउने लौरोले पलिश्तीहरूका छ सय मानिसहरूलाई मरे । उनले इस्राएललाई खतराबाट पनि छुट्कारा दिए ।
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
