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 Yahweh left, that he might, by them, put Israel to the proof, —all who had not known any of the wars of Canaan;
2 (युद्धको विषयमा पहिले जानकरी नभएका इस्राएलीहरूका नयाँ पुस्तालाई त्यसबारे सिकाउन उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो ।)
that the generations of the sons of Israel might certainly get to know, by being taught to make war, —such, at least, as aforetime knew nothing thereof: —
3 ती जातिहरू यी नै हुन्: पलिश्तीहरूका पाँच राजाहरू, सबै कनानीहरू, सीदोनीहरू, र लेबनानका पर्वतहरूमा बाल-हर्मोनदेखि हमात-पाससम्म बस्ने हिव्वीहरू ।
five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites dwelling in Mount Lebanon, —from Mount Baal-hermon as far as 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 ।
So then [these] were [left], that, by them, he might put Israel to the proof, —to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 यसैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरू कनानीहरू, हित्तीहरू, एमोरीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, हिव्वीहरू, र यबूसीहरूसँगै बसोबास गरे ।
And thus, the sons of Israel, dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, —the Hittites, 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 took their daughters to be their wives, their own daughters moreover, gave they unto their sons, and they 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 ।
Thus did the sons of Israel the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, and forgat Yahweh their God, —and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
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 ।
Then kindled the anger of Yahweh upon Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, —and the sons 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 the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, so Yahweh raised up a saviour unto the sons of Israel, who saved them, —even Othniel 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 Yahweh came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war, and Yahweh delivered into his hand, Chushan-rishathaim, king of Syria, —and his hand prevailed over Chushan-rishathaim.
11 देशमा चालिस वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो । त्यसपछि कनजका छोरा ओत्निएलको मृत्यु भयो ।
And the land had rest forty years, —and Othniel 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 sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked, in the sight of Yahweh, —and Yahweh emboldened Eglon, king of Moab, against Israel, because they did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh;
13 एग्लोन अम्मोनीहरू र अमालेकीहरूसँग मिले र तिनीहरू गए र इस्राएललाई हराए, अनि खजूरका रूखहरूको सहरमाथि अधिकार गरे ।
and he gathered unto him, the sons of Ammon, and Amalek, —and came and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of palm-trees.
14 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले अठार वर्षसम्म मोआबका राजा एग्लोनको सेवा गरे ।
So the sons of Israel served Eglon 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 ।
And the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up unto them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed, —and the sons of Israel sent, by his hand, a present, unto Eglon king of Moab.
16 एहूदले आफ्नो निम्ति एक हात लामो दुई धारे तरवार बनाए । त्यो तिनले आफ्नो दाहिने जाँघमा आफ्नो लुगाभित्र बाँधे ।
So Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length, —and girded it under his raiment, upon his right thigh.
17 तिनले मोआबका राजा एग्लोनलाई त्यो कर तिरे । (एग्लोन धेरै मोटो मानिस थिए ।)
So he offered the present unto Eglon, king of Moab, —now, Eglon, was an exceedingly fat man.
18 एहूदले कर तिरिसकेपछि, ती ल्याउनेहरूसँगै उनी फर्के ।
And so it was, when he had made an end of offering the present, that he sent away the people who had been bearing 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 back from the images that were by Gilgal, and said, A secret word, have I, unto thee, O king! And he said—Silence! Thereupon went out from his presence all who had been standing near 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 in unto him, he, having been sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself, alone, and Ehud said, A divine word, have I, unto thee. So he arose from off 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 sword from off his right thigh, —and thrust it into his body;
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 flesh closed upon the blade, for he withdrew not the sword out of his body, —and he came out into the ante-chamber.
23 त्यसपछि एहूद कौसीमा निस्के र माथिल्लो कक्षका आफू पछाडिका ढोकाहरू थुनिदिए र ताल्चा लगाइदिए ।
And, when Ehud came out into the porch, he closed the doors of the parlour upon him, and bolted 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, had come out, his servants, went in, and looked, and lo! the doors of the parlour were bolted, —so they said, Surely he covereth his feet, in the 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 ।
But, though they tarried a long time, yet lo! he opened not the doors of the parlour, —so they took the key, and opened [them], when lo! their lord, fallen to the ground dead.
26 अब के गर्ने भनेर सेवकहरू कुरिरहेका बेला, एहूद भागेर कुँदेर बनाइएका मुर्तिहरू भएका ठाउँभन्दा पर पुगे, र उनी सीरामा भागे ।
But, Ehud, escaped while they delayed, —yea, he, passed the images, and escaped into Seirah.
27 जब उनी आइपुगे, उनले एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा तुरही फुके । त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू उनीसँगै पहाडहरूबाट तल ओर्ले, र उनले तिनीहरूलाई नेतृत्व गरे ।
And so it was, when he came, that he blew with a horn, throughout the hill country of Ephraim, —and the sons of Israel came down with him, out of the hill country, he, being 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—Come down after me, for Yahweh hath delivered your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand. So they came down after him, and captured the fords of the Jordan, towards 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 smote of Moab, at that time, about ten thousand men, every one a mighty man, and every one a man of valour, —and, there escaped not a man.
30 यसैले त्यस दिन मोआब इस्राएलको शासनको अधीनमा आयो, र देशमा असी वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो ।
And Moab was subdued on that day, under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years, and Ehud judged them until his death.
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, son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad, —and, he also, saved Israel.
