न्यायकर्ताहरू 5
1 त्यो दिन दबोरा र अबीनोअमका छोरा बाराकले यो गीत गाए:
Then sang Deborah with Barak the son of Abino'am on that day, saying,
2 “जब अगुवाहरूले इस्राएललाई नेतृत्व गर्छन्, जब मानिसहरू युद्धको निम्ति स्वइच्छाले राजी हुन्छन्, तब हामी परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छौं!
When depravity had broken out in Israel, then did the people offer themselves willingly; [therefore] praise ye the Lord.
3 ए राजाहरू, सुन! ए अगुवाहरू ध्यान देओ! म परमप्रभुको निम्ति गाउनेछु । म इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गाउनेछु ।
Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; I—unto the Lord will I sing; I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel.
4 हे परमप्रभु, जब तपाईं सेइरबाट बाहिर निस्कनुभयो, जब तपाईं एदोमबाट हिंड्नुभयो, तब पृथ्वी काँप्यो, र आकाश पनि थरथर डरायो । अनि बादलहरूले पानी झारे ।
Lord, at thy going forth out of Seir, at thy marching along out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, also the clouds dropped water.
5 परमप्रभुको मुहारको सामु पहाडहरू थरथर डराए । इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको मुहारको सामु सिनै पर्वत पनि थरथर काँप्यो ।
The mountains melted away because of the presence of the Lord, yonder Sinai, because of the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 शमगर (अनातका छोरा) को समयमा, याएलको समयमा, मुल बाटोहरू त्यागिएका थिए, अनि पदयात्रीहरूले घुमाउरा बाटोहरू मात्र प्रयोग गरे ।
In the days of Shamgar the son of 'Anath, in the days of Ja'el, the highways were unoccupied, and those who travelled on roads walked through crooked by-paths.
7 म, दबोरा, इस्राएलकी आमाको रूपमा खडा नभएसम्म, इस्राएलका गाउँहरूमा थोरै मानिसहरू मात्र थिए!
Desolate were the open towns in Israel, they were desolate, until that I arose, Deborah, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 जब तिनीहरूले नयाँ देवताहरू चुने, तब त्यहाँ सहरका मुल ढोकाहरूमा युद्ध हुन्थ्यो र पनि त्यहाँ इस्राएलमा भएका चालिस हजार जनासँग कुनै ढाल वा भालाहरू देखिएन ।
They chose new gods, then was there war in the gates: was there a shield seen or a spear among forty thousand in Israel?
9 मेरो हृदय इस्राएलका कमाण्डरहरू र स्वइच्छाले सेवा गर्ने मानिसहरूप्रति छ । तिनीहरूका निम्ति हामी परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छौं!
My heart [belongeth] to the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: praise ye the Lord.
10 ए सेता गधाहरूमा बसेर सवार हुनेहरू, पिठ्युँका राडीहरूमा बस्नेहरू र सडकमा हिंड्नेहरू हो, यसको बारेमा विचार गर ।
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and ye who walk on the way, utter praise!
11 पँधेराहरूमा गीत गाउनेहरूका सोर सुन । त्यहाँ तिनीहरू फेरि पनि परमप्रभुका धार्मिक कामहरू, र इस्राएलमा उहाँका योद्धाहरूका धार्मिक कामहरूका बारेमा बताउँछन् । अनि परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू सहरका प्रवेशद्वारहरूतिर लागे ।
[Urged on] by the voice of those who divide [the flocks] between the watering wells, there shall they rehearse the benefits of the Lord, the benefits toward his open towns in Israel; [for] now go down [again] to the gates the people of the Lord.
12 उठ, उठ दबोरा! उठ, उठ, एउटा गीत गाऊ! ए बाराक, ए अबीनोअमका छोरा, उठ, र आफ्ना कैदीहरूलाई समाऊ ।
Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! up, Barak, and lead away thy captives, son of Abino'am.
13 तब बाँचेकाहरू कुलिनहरूकहाँ आए । परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू योद्धाहरूसँग मकहाँ तल आए ।
Then obtained dominion a few that had escaped for the nobles among the people—the Lord gave me dominion over the mighty.
14 तिनीहरू एफ्राइमबाट आए, जसको जग अमालेकमा छ । बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरू तिमीहरूका पछि आए । माकीरबाट कमाण्डरहरू, र जबूलूनबाट अधिकारीका लौरो लिनेहरू तल आए ।
They whose root is out of Ephraim were against 'Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 इस्साखारका मेरा राजकुमारहरू दबोरासित थिए । र इस्साखार बाराकसित थिए उनको पछि-पछि उनको कमाण्डमा तिनीहरू बेसीमा गए । रूबेनका कुलहरूका माझमा हृदय खोज्ने काम धेरै भयो ।
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yea Issachar, the support of Barak; into the valley he hastened down in his train; [but] at the streams of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16 गोठालाहरूले आफ्ना बगालको निम्ति बाँसुरी बजाएको सुन्दै, तिमीहरू किन आगोका वरिपरि बस्यौ? रूबेनका कुलहरूका बारेमा हृदय खोज्ने काम धेरै भयो ।
Why didst thou sit among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks? At the streams of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 गिलाद यर्दनको पारिपट्टि नै बस्यो । अनि दान, ऊ जहाजहरूमा किन घुमिरह्यो? आशेर समुद्र किनारमा नै रह्यो र आफ्ना बन्दरगाहहरूको नजिक बस्यो ।
Gil'ad abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan—why would he tarry in ships? Asher remained on the seashore, and abode near his bays.
18 जबूलून यस्तो कुल थियो जसले मृत्युको सामु आफ्नो प्राण जोखिममा पार्थ्यो, र नप्तालीले पनि युद्धको मैदानमा त्यसै गर्यो ।
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded its life unto death, and Naphtali—on the high places of the [battle] field.
19 राजाहरू आए, तिनीहरू युद्ध लडे । कनानका राजाहरू मगिद्दोका खोलाहारू नजिक तानाकमा युद्ध लडे । तर तिनीहरूले लुटको रूपमा कुनै चाँदी लगेनन् ।
There came kings, [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan, in Ta'anach by the waters of Megiddo: gain of money they took not away.
20 आकाशबाट ताराहरू युद्ध लडे, आकाशमा तिनीहरूका मार्गहरूबाट तिनीहरू सीसराको विरुद्धमा युद्ध लडे ।
From heaven they fought—the stars in their courses fought against Sissera.
21 कीशोन खोलाले तिनीहरूलाई बगायो, त्यो पुरानो खोला, कीशोन खोला । ए मेरो प्राण, निरन्तर हिंड, शाहसी हो!
The stream of Kishon swept them away, that ancient stream, the stream of Kishon: step along, O my soul, in victorious strength.
22 तब घोडाहरूका टापहरूका आवाज, त्यसका शक्तिशालीहरू कुदेको आवाज आयो ।
Then were crushed the hoofs of the horses, through the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
23 परमप्रभुका दूतले भन्छन्, ‘मेरोजलाई सराप!’ ‘त्यसमा बसोबास गर्नेहरूलाई निश्चय नै सराप! किनभने शक्तिशाली योद्धाहरूसँगको युद्धमा, तिनीहरू परमप्रभुलाई सहायता गर्न आएनन् ।’
Curse ye Meroz, saith the messenger of the Lord, yea, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the mighty.
24 सबै स्त्रीहरूमा याएल धेरै आशिषित छिन्, याएल (केनी हेबेरकी पत्नी), पालहरूमा बस्ने सबै स्त्रीहरूमा तिनी धेरै आशिषित छिन् ।
Blessed above [other] women shall be Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite, above [other] women [dwelling] in the tent may she be blessed.
25 त्यो मानिसले तिनीसँग पानी माग्यो, र तिनले उसलाई दूध दिईन् । तिनले त्यसको निम्ति राजकुमारहरूलाई सुहाउँदो मक्खन राखिएको भोजन ल्याइन् ।
Water he asked, milk she gave [him]: in a lordly dish she brought him cream.
26 तिनले आफ्नो हात पालको कीलामा राखिन्, र आफ्नो दाहिने हात मुङ्ग्रोमा राखिन् । त्यही मुङ्ग्रोले तिनले सीसरालाई हिर्काइन्, तिनले त्यसको शिर कुच्याइन् । त्यसको कन्चटलाई छेडेर तिनले त्यसको खप्परलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिन् ।
Her hand she put forth to the nail, and her right hand to the laborious workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sissera, she struck his head, and crushed and smote through his temple.
27 तिनका पाउनेर त्यो मर्यो, त्यो त्यहीं ढल्यो, र त्यहीं ढलिरह्यो । तिनका पाउका बिचमा त्यो ढल्यो । जहाँ त्यो ढल्यो, त्यहीं क्रुरतासित मारियो ।
Between her feet he bent, he fell, he lay; between her feet he bent, he fell: where he had bent, there he fell down, bereft of life.
28 सीसराकी आमाले झ्यालबाट हेरिन् र पीडामा चिच्याएर तिनले भनिन्, ‘उसको रथ आउनलाई किन यति ढिलो भयो? उसका रथहरू तान्ने घोडाहरूका खुट्टा बजेको आवाज किन आएन?’
Out of the window looked and moaned the mother of Sissera, through the lattice, Why tarrieth his chariot so long in coming? why lag the wheels of his chariot?
29 तिनका राजकुमारीमध्ये सबैभन्दा बुद्धिमान्ले जवाफ दिइन्, र तिनले आफैंलाई उही जवाफ दिइन् ।
The wise among her ladies answered her, she also returned a reply to herself.
30 ‘के तिनीहरूले लुटका सामान पाएर आपसमा बाँडेका छैनन् र? हरेक मानिसको निम्ति एउटा कोख, वा दुईवटा कोख । सीसराको निम्ति रङ्गाइएका कपडाहरू, र बुट्टा भएका रङ्गाइएका कपडाहरूका लुटहरू, लुटेराहरूका निम्ति दुईवटा बुट्टा भएका रङ्गाइएका कपडाहरू?’
Will they not find, —divide booty? one maiden, two maidens for every man, a booty of colored garments for Sissera, a booty of colored embroidered garments, colored, double-worked garments round the necks of the captives!
31 यसैले, हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंका सबै शत्रुहरू नाश होऊन्! तर तपाईंका मित्रहरू आफ्नो शक्तिमा उदाएको सुर्यझैं होऊन् ।” त्यसपछि देशमा चालिस वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो ।
Thus may perish all thy enemies, O Lord; but may those that love him be as the rising of the sun in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
