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 the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of 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 to Gideon, The people that are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand has 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 go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and afraid, 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 to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say to you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say to you, This shall not go with you, 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 to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one that laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down on 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, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down on 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 to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand: and let all the other people go every man to 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 the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host 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 to him, Arise, get you down to the host; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 तर तँलाई तल जान डर लागेको छ भने, तेरो सेवक पूराहसँग तल छाउनीमा जा,
But if you fear to go down, go you with Phurah your servant down to the host:
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 you shall hear what they say; and afterward shall your hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
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 ।
And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side 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 that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, see, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
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: for into his hand has God 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 returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD has 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 a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps 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 to them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall you 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 with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow you the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of 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 to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke 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 trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow with: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of 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 cried, 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 the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, to Tabbath.
23 नप्ताली, आशेर, र सबै मनश्शेबाट इस्राएलका मानिसहरू बोलाइए, र तिनीहरू मिद्दानीहरूका पछि लागे ।
And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
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 mount Ephraim, saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters to Bethbarah and 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 two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb on the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the wine press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
