न्यायकर्ताहरू 7
1 त्यसपछि यरूब-बाल, (अर्थात् गिदोन) र उनीसँग भएका सबै जना मानिसहरू बिहानै उठे, र हरोदको पानीको मूलको छेउमा तिनीहरूले छाउनी हाले । मिद्दानीहरूको छाउनीचाहिं तिनीहरूको उत्तरपट्टिको मोरेको पहाडनजिकको मैदानमा थियो ।
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside En-harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by Gibeath-moreh, in the valley.
2 परमप्रभुले गिदोनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मिद्दानीहरूमाथि तँलाई विजय दिन मलाई चाहिएको भन्दा धेरै सेना छन्, ताकि इस्राएलले मसँग यसो भनेर घमण्ड नगरोस्, ‘हाम्रो आफ्नै शक्तिले हामीलाई बचाएको हो ।’
And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people that are with thee are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying: mine own hand hath saved me.
3 यसकारण अब मानिसहरूले सुन्ने गरी घोषणा गर र यसो भन्, ‘जो डराएको छ, जो थरथर भएको छ, ऊ फर्कोस् र गिलाद डाँडाबाट विदा होस् ।’” यसैले बाइस हजार मानिसहरू फर्केर गए, र दश हजार बाँकी रहे ।
Now therefore make proclamation in the ears of the people, saying: Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.' And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 परमप्रभुले गिदोनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मनिसहरू अझै पनि ज्यादै धेरै छन् । तिनीहरूलाई तल पानीमा लैजा, र त्यहाँ तेरो निम्ति तिनीहरूका सङ्ख्या म कम गरिदिनेछु । म तँलाई भन्छु, ‘यो व्यक्तिचाहिं तँसँग जानेछ’ भने, ऊ तँसँग जानेछ । तर म तँलाई बन्छु, ‘यो व्यक्तिचाहिं तँसँग जानेछैन’ भने, ऊ तँसँग जानेछैन ।”
And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee: This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee: This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.'
5 यसैले गिदोनले मानिसहरूलाई तल पानीमा लगे, र परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “घुँडा टेकेर पानी पिउनेहरूबाट कुकुरले झैं चाटेर पानी पिउनेहरूलाई अलग गर् ।”
So he brought down the people unto the water; and the LORD said unto Gideon: 'Everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.'
6 तिन सय जना मानिसहरूले चाटेर पिए । अरू बाँकी मानिसले घुँडा टेकेर पानी पिए ।
And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7 परमप्रभुले गिदोनलाई भन्नुभयो, “यी चाटेर पानी पिएका तिन सय जना मानिसहरू लिएर तिमीहरूलाई म बचाउनेछु र मिद्दानीहरूमाथि विजय दिनेछु । अरू हरेक मानिसलाई आफ्नै ठाउँमा फर्केर जान दे ।”
And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.'
8 यसैले चुनिएकाहरूले आ-आफ्ना सर-समान र तुरहीहरू लिए । गिदोनले इस्राएलका सबै मानिस, हरेक मानिसलाई उसको आफ्नै पालमा फर्काइदिए, तर तिनले ती तिन सय जना मानिसलाई राखे । अब मिद्दानीका छाउनी तल बेसीमा थियो ।
So they took the victuals of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9 त्यो रात परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ्! छाउनीलाई आक्रमण गर्, किनकि म तँलाई त्यसमाथि विजय दिन जाँदैछु ।
And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him: 'Arise, get thee down upon the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 तर तँलाई तल जान डर लागेको छ भने, तेरो सेवक पूराहसँग तल छाउनीमा जा,
But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp.
11 र तिनीहरूले के भन्दैछन्, त्यो सुन्, र छाउनीमा आक्रमण गर्न तेरो साहस बढ्नेछ ।” यसैले गिदोन आफ्ना सेवक पूराहसँग तल छाउनीको सुरक्षाबल भएको ठाउँमा गए ।
And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down upon the camp.' Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
12 मिद्दानीहरू, अमालेकीहरू, र पूर्वका सबै मानिसहरू बेसीमा, सलहका हुलझैं भेला भएर बसेका थिए । तिनीहरूका ऊँटहरू अनगिन्ती थिए, र तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या समुद्र किनारका बालुवाका कणहरूभन्दा पनि धेरै थिए ।
Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
13 जब गिदोन त्यहाँ पुगे, एक जना मानिसले आफ्नो साथीलाई सपनाको बारेमा भन्दै थियो । त्यस मानिसले भन्यो, “हेर, मैले एउटा सपना देखें, र जौको एउटा रोटी मिद्दानीको छाउनीभित्र गुड्दै आयो । त्यो पालमा आयो, र त्यसलाई जोडले हिर्कायो र त्यसलाई उल्टो गरी पल्टाइदियो, यसैले त्यो ढल्यो ।”
And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his follow, and saying: 'Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay flat.'
14 अर्को मानिसले भन्यो, “यो त इस्राएली गिदोनको (योआशका छोराको) तरवारबाहेक अरू केही होइन । परमेश्वरले तिनलाई मिद्दानी र तिनीहरूका सबै सेनामाथि विजय दिनुभएको छ ।”
And his fellow answered and said: 'This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.'
15 जब गिदोनले त्यस सपना भनेको र त्यसको अर्थ लगाइएको सुने, तब तिनले घोप्टो परेर दण्डवत् गरे । तिनी इस्राएलको छाउनीमा फर्केर गए र भने, “उठ! परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई मिद्दानी सेनामाथि विजय दिनुभएको छ ।”
And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said: 'Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.'
16 ति तिन सय जना मानिसलाई तिनले तिनवटा समुहमा विभाजन गरे, र तिनले उनीहरूलाई सबै तुरहीहरू र हरेक गाग्रोभित्र राँको हालेर खाली गाग्रोहरू दिए ।
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them horns, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
17 तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “मलाई हेर, र म जे गर्छु त्यही गर । हेर! जब म छाउनीको छेऊमा पुग्छु, तब म जे गर्छु तिमीहरूले त्यही गर्नू ।
And he said unto them: 'Look on me, and do likewise; and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
18 जब म तुरही फुक्छु, मसँग भएका सबै जनाले, तब छाउनीको हरेक कुनाबाट तिमीहरूका तुरहीहरू पनि फुक्नू र यसो भनेर कराउनू ‘परमप्रभुको निम्ति र गिदोनको निम्ति!’”
When I blow the horn, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the horns also on every side of all the camp, and say: For the LORD and for Gideon!'
19 यसैले गिदोन र तिनीसँग भएका एक सय जना मानिस राती दश बजेतिर छाउनीको छेऊमा गए । मिद्दानीहरूले रक्षकको हेरफेर गर्दै थिए, तिनीहरूले तुरहीहरू फुके र आफ्ना हातहरूमा भएका गाग्रोहरू फुटाए ।
So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch; and they blew the horns, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 तिनै दलले तुरहीहरू फुके र गाग्रोहरू फुटाए । तिनीहरूले राँकोलाई आ-आफ्ना देब्रे हातमा लिए र तुरही फुक्नलाई दाहिने हातमा बोके । तिनीहरू कराएर भने, “परमप्रभुको निम्ति र गिदोनको निम्ति तरवार ।”
And the three companies blew the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried: 'The sword for the LORD and for Gideon!'
21 हरेक मानिस आफ्नो ठाउँमा छाउनीको वरिपरि खडा भए र सबै मिद्दानी सेना भागे । तिनीहरू ठुलो सोरमा कराए र भागे ।
And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and fled.
22 जब तिनीहरूले तिन सय तुरही फुके, तब परमप्रभुले हरेक मिद्दानीको तरवारलाई आ-आफ्ना साथी-लडाकु र तिनीहरूका सबै सेनाको विरुद्धमा उठाउनुभयो । सबै सेनाहरू सरेरातर्फ बेथ-शित्तामसम्म, र तब्बातको नजिक हाबिल-महोलाको सिमानासम्म भागे ।
And they blew the three hundred horns, and the LORD set every man's sword a against his fellow, even throughout all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
23 नप्ताली, आशेर, र सबै मनश्शेबाट इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बोलाइए, र तिनीहरू मिद्दानीहरूका पछि लागे ।
And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
24 गिदोनले यसो भन्दै एफ्राइमको सबै पहाडी देशमा दूतहरू पठाए, “मिद्दानीहरूको विरुद्ध तल जाओ र तिनीहरूलाई रोक्नको निम्ति बेथ-बरासम्म यार्दन नदीमाथि नियन्त्रण गर ।” यसैले एफ्राइमका सबै मानिसहरू एकसाथ भेला भए र बेथ-बरासम्म यर्दन नदीमाथि नियन्त्रण गरे ।
And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying: 'Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.' So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.
25 तिनीहरूले दुई मिद्दानी राजकुमार, ओरेब र जएबलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले ओरेबलाई ओरेबको चट्टानमा, र जएबलाई जएबको दाखको कोलमा मारे । तिनीहरूले मिद्दानीहरूका पछि केद्दै गए र तिनीहरूले यर्दनको वारि भएका गिदोनकहाँ ओरेब र जएबका टाउकाहरू लिएर आए ।
And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the Rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the Winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
