< न्यायकर्ताहरू 4 >
1 एहूद मरेपछि, परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा खराब थियो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले फेरि त्यही गरे ।
And the children of Israel again did the evil in the eyes of the Lord, when Ehud was dead.
2 परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई कनानका राजा याबीनको हातमा बेचिदिनुभयो जसले हासोरमा राज्य गर्थे । तिनको सेनाका कमाण्डरको नाउँ सीसरा थियो, र उनी हरोशेत हग्गोयिममा बस्थे ।
And the Lord sold them into the hand of Yabin the king of Canaan, that reigned in Chazor; and the captain of his army was Sissera, who dwelt in Charosheth-hagoyim.
3 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई सहायताको निम्ति पुकारे, किनभने सीसरासँग नौ सय फलामका रथहरू थिए र तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसलाई बिस वर्षसम्म बलपुर्वक अत्याचार गरे ।
And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he oppressed the children of Israel with might twenty years.
4 त्यस समय इस्राएलमा एक अगमवादिनी, दबोरा (लप्पीदोतकी पत्नी) नेतृत्व गर्ने न्यायकर्ताको थिइन् ।
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
5 तिनी एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा रामा र बेथेलको बिचमा दबोराको खजुरको रूखमुनि बस्ने गर्थिन्, र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू आफ्ना विवादहरू मिलाउन तिनीकहाँ आउँथे ।
And she held her sitting under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el on the mountain of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 तिनले नाप्तालीको केदेशबाट अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराकलाई बोलाइन् र तिनलाई भनिन्, “परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई यस्तो आज्ञा गर्नुहुन्छ, ‘तबोर डाँडामा जाऊ, र नाप्ताली र जबूलूनबाट तिमीसँग दश हजार मानिसहरू ल्याऊ ।
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abino'am out of Kedesh-naphtali; and she said unto him, Behold, the Lord the God of Israel hath commanded, Go and lead on toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun.
7 याबीनका सेनाका कमाण्डर सीसरालाई त्यसका रथहरू र त्यसका सेनाका साथमा कीशोन खोलामा तिमीसित भेट्नलाई म ल्याउनेछु, र तिमीलाई म त्यसमाथि विजयी बनाउनेछु ।’”
And I will draw unto thee, to the brook Kishon, Sissera, the captain of Yabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude; and I will give him up into thy hand.
8 बाराकले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईं मसँग जानुभयो भने म जान्छु, तर तपाईं मसँग जानुभएन भने म जान्नँ ।”
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then will I go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.
9 तिनले भनिन्, “निश्चित रूपमा म तिमीसँग जानेछु । तर जुन बाटो तिमी जाँदैछौ त्यसले तिमीलाई सम्मान दिनेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभुले सीसरालाई एउटी स्त्रीको हातमा बेचिदिनुहुनेछ ।” त्यसपछि दबोरा खडा भइन् र बाराकसँग केदेशमा गइन् ।
And she said, I will indeed go with thee; nevertheless it will not be for thy honor, on the way which thou goest; for into the hand of a woman will the Lord deliver Sissera; and Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 बाराकले जबूलून र नाप्तालीका मानिसहरूलाई उनीसँगै केदेशमा जानको निम्ति बोलाए । दश हजार जना मानिसहरू तिनको पछि आए र दबोरा पनि तिनीसँगै गइन् ।
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up in his train ten thousand men; also Deborah went up with him.
11 यति बेला केनीहरू, अर्थात् होबाबका (मोशाका ससुराका) सन्तानबाट हेबेरले (केनीले) आफूलाई अलग्यएका, र आफ्नो पाललाई केदेश नजिकैको सानान्नीममा फलाँटको रूखको छेउमा टाँगेका थिए ।
Now Cheber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Chobab the father-in-law of Moses; and he had pitched his tent as far as Elon-beza'anannim, which is near Kedesh.
12 अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराक तबोर डाँडामा गएका थिए भन्ने कुरा जब तिनीहरूले सीसरालाई भने,
And they told Sissera that Barak the son of Abino'am was gone up to mount Tabor.
13 तब सीसराले आफ्ना सबै रथहरू, नौ सय फलामका रथहरू, र हरोशेत हग्गोयिमदेखि कीशोन खोलासम्म आफूसँग भएका सबै सेनालाई बोलाए ।
And Sissera called together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Charosheth-hagoyim unto the brook Kishon.
14 दबोराले बाराकलाई भनिन्, “जाऊ! किनकि परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई सीसरामाथि विजय दिनुभएको दिन आजै हो । के परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई अगुवाइ गर्नुभएको छैन र?” यसैले आफ्नो पछि लागेका दश हजार मानिसलाई साथमा लिएर बाराक तबोर डाँडाबाट तल गए ।
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up! for this is the day on which the Lord hath given Sissera into thy hand; behold, the Lord is gone out before thee: so Barak went down from mount Tabor, with ten thousand men after him.
15 सीसरा र उनका सबै रथहरू र उनका सबै सेनालाई तरवारको धारले परमप्रभुले अलमल पारिदिनुभयो । अनि सीसरा आफ्नो रथबाट तल झरे र पैदल नै भागे ।
And the Lord confounded Sissera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sissera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on foot.
16 तर बाराकले रथहरू र सेनालाई हरोशेत हग्गोयिमसम्म लखेटे, र सीसराका सम्पुर्ण सेना तरवारको धारले मारिए, र एक जना मानिस पनि बाँचेन ।
And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, unto Charosheth-hagoyim: and all the army of Sissera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not left even one.
17 तर सीसरा केनी हेबेरकी पत्नी याएलको पालमा भागेर गए, किनकि हासोरका राजा याबीन र केनी हेबेरको परिवारका बिचमा मिलाप थियो ।
But Sissera had fled away on foot to the tent of Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite; for there was peace between Yabin the king of Chazor and the house of Cheber the Kenite.
18 याएल सीसरालाई भेट्न बाहिर गइन् र भनिन्, “मेरा मालिक यता फर्कनुहोस् र नडराउनुहोस् ।” यसैले उनी तिनीतिर फर्के र तिनको पालभित्र पसे, र तिनले उनलाई एउटा कम्बल ओढाइदिइन् ।
And Ja'el went out to meet Sissera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in unto me, fear not: and he turned in unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 उनले तिनलाई भने, “मलाई अलिकता पानी पिउन देऊ, किनकि मलाई तिर्खा लागेको छ ।” तिनले दूध हालिएको मशक खोलिन् र तिनलाई पिउन दिइन्, र तिनले उनलाई फेरि ओढाइदिइन् ।
And he said unto her, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water; for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him up.
20 उनले तिनलाई भने, “पालको ढोकामा खडा बस । कोही आएर यहाँ कोही छ भनी तिमीलाई सोध्यो भने, ‘छैन’ भन्नू ।”
And he said unto her, Stand at the door of the tent; and it shall be, that, when any man should come and ask of thee, and say, Is there any man here? thou shalt say, No.
21 त्यसपछि याएल (हेबेरकी पत्नी) पालको एउटा कीला र मुङ्ग्रो आफ्नो हातमा लिइन् र विस्तारै उनको नजिक गइन्, किनकि उनी मस्त निद्रामा थिए र उनको कन्चटबाट त्यो पालको कीलालाई भुइँमा नछेडिंदासम्म तिनले ठोकिदिइन् र उनी मरे ।
And Ja'el the wife of Cheber took thereupon the nail of the tent, and placed a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and struck the nail into his temple, and it became fastened in the ground; but he was fast asleep and weary; so he died.
22 बाराकले सीसरालाई खोज्दै गर्दा, याएल उनलाई भेट्न बाहिर गइन् र तिनलाई भनिन्, “आउनुहोस्, तपाईंले खोजिरहनुभएको मानिस म तपाईंलाई देखाउनेछु ।” यसैले उनी तिनीसँग भित्र गए, र सीसराको कन्चटमा पालको कीला गाडिएर ऊ त्यहाँ मरेर ढलेको थियो ।
And, behold, Barak came in pursuit of Sissera, and Ja'el came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou art seeking: and he came to her, and behold, Sissera was lying dead, with the nail in his temple.
23 यसरी त्यस दिन परमेश्वरले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु परास्त गर्नुभयो ।
So did God humble on that day Yabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई नष्ट नगरेसम्म उनको विरुद्ध तिनीहरूको सामर्थ बढ्दै गयो ।
And the hand of the children of Israel became constantly heavier upon Yabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Yabin the king of Canaan.
