1 एहूद मरेपछि, परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे कुरा खराब थियो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले फेरि त्यही गरे ।
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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 ।
The LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई सहायताको निम्ति पुकारे, किनभने सीसरासँग नौ सय फलामका रथहरू थिए र तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसलाई बिस वर्षसम्म बलपुर्वक अत्‍याचार गरे ।
The children of Israel cried to the LORD, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel for twenty years.
4 त्यस समय इस्राएलमा एक अगमवादिनी, दबोरा (लप्पीदोतकी पत्‍नी) नेतृत्‍व गर्ने न्यायकर्ताको थिइन् ।
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, 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 ।
She lived under Deborah’s palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country 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 ।
She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, “Hasn’t the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and lead the way to Mount Tabor, and take with you 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 ।’”
I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.’”
8 बाराकले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईं मसँग जानुभयो भने म जान्छु, तर तपाईं मसँग जानुभएन भने म जान्‍नँ ।”
Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will 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 ।
She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take won’t be for your honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” 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 ।
Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him; and 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 Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab, Moses’ brother-in-law, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
12 अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराक तबोर डाँडामा गएका थिए भन्‍ने कुरा जब तिनीहरूले सीसरालाई भने,
They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had 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 ।
Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river 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 ।
Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t the LORD gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and 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 ।
The LORD confused Sisera, all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled away on his feet.
16 तर बाराकले रथहरू र सेनालाई हरोशेत हग्गोयिमसम्म लखेटे, र सीसराका सम्‍पुर्ण सेना तरवारको धारले मारिए, र एक जना मानिस पनि बाँचेन ।
But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. There was not a man left.
17 तर सीसरा केनी हेबेरकी पत्‍नी याएलको पालमा भागेर गए, किनकि हासोरका राजा याबीन र केनी हेबेरको परिवारका बिचमा मिलाप थियो ।
However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber 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 ।
Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid.” He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
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 ।
He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.” She opened a container of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
20 उनले तिनलाई भने, “पालको ढोकामा खडा बस । कोही आएर यहाँ कोही छ भनी तिमीलाई सोध्यो भने, ‘छैन’ भन्‍नू ।”
He said to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ you shall 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 ।
Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground, for he was in a deep sleep; so he fainted and 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 ।
Behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.” He came to her; and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
23 यसरी त्यस दिन परमेश्‍वरले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु परास्त गर्नुभयो ।
So God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel on that day.
24 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कनानका राजा याबीनलाई नष्‍ट नगरेसम्म उनको विरुद्ध तिनीहरूको सामर्थ बढ्दै गयो ।
The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
