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 Jehovah 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 of it:
3 ती जातिहरू यी नै हुन्: पलिश्तीहरूका पाँच राजाहरू, सबै कनानीहरू, सीदोनीहरू, र लेबनानका पर्वतहरूमा बाल-हर्मोनदेखि हमात-पाससम्म बस्ने हिव्वीहरू ।
namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo 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 ।
They were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 यसैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू कनानीहरू, हित्तीहरू, एमोरीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, हिव्वीहरू, र यबूसीहरूसँगै बसोबास गरे ।
The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 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 own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
7 परमप्रभुको नजरमा जे कुरा दुष्ट थियो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यही गरे र परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई बिर्से । तिनीहरूले बाल देवताहरू र अशेरा देवीहरूका पुजा गरे ।
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
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 Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan 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 ।
When the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; and he obeyed him.
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 ।
The Spirit of Jehovah came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11 देशमा चालिस वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो । त्यसपछि कनजका छोरा ओत्निएलको मृत्यु भयो ।
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 ।
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
13 एग्लोन अम्मोनीहरू र अमालेकीहरूसँग मिले र तिनीहरू गए र इस्राएललाई हराए, अनि खजूरका रूखहरूको सहरमाथि अधिकार गरे ।
He gathered to him the people of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले अठार वर्षसम्म मोआबका राजा एग्लोनको सेवा गरे ।
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 to Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
16 एहूदले आफ्नो निम्ति एक हात लामो दुई धारे तरवार बनाए । त्यो तिनले आफ्नो दाहिने जाँघमा आफ्नो लुगाभित्र बाँधे ।
Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, eighteen inches in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17 तिनले मोआबका राजा एग्लोनलाई त्यो कर तिरे । (एग्लोन धेरै मोटो मानिस थिए ।)
He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 एहूदले कर तिरिसकेपछि, ती ल्याउनेहरूसँगै उनी फर्के ।
When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
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 back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Keep silence." All who 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 ।
Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you, O king." He arose out of his seat.
21 एहूदले आफ्नो देब्रे हातले आफ्नो दाहिने जाँघबाट तरवार झिके, र त्यो तिनले राजाको शरीरमा रोपिदिए ।
And it happened as he rose up that Ehud put forth his left hand and took the sword 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 handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
23 त्यसपछि एहूद कौसीमा निस्के र माथिल्लो कक्षका आफू पछाडिका ढोकाहरू थुनिदिए र ताल्चा लगाइदिए ।
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on 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 ।”
Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and look, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
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 ।
They waited until they were ashamed; and look, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and look, their lord 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 ।
Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
27 जब उनी आइपुगे, उनले एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा तुरही फुके । त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू उनीसँगै पहाडहरूबाट तल ओर्ले, र उनले तिनीहरूलाई नेतृत्व गरे ।
It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, 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 ।
He said to them, "Follow after me; for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow 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 ।
They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; 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. Then the land had rest eighty years. And Ehud judged them until he died.
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, who alone struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also saved Israel.
