न्यायकर्ताहरू 8
1 एफ्राइमका मानिसहरूले गिदोनलाई भने, “तपाईंले हामीलाई यो के गर्नुभयो? तपाईं मिद्दानीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न जानुहुँदा तपाईंले हामीलाई बोलाउनुभएन ।” तब उनीहरूले तिनीसँग ठुलो बहस भयो ।
Then the men of Ephraim sayde vnto him, Why hast thou serued vs thus that thou calledst vs not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they chode with him sharply.
2 तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले गरेका तुलनामा मैले के नै गरेको छु र? के अबीएजेरको सबै दाखको फसलभन्दा एफ्राइमको बोटमा टिप्न छुटेका दाख नै असल छैनन् र?
To whom he said, What haue I now done in comparison of you? is not the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim better, then the vintage of Abiezer?
3 परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई मिद्दानी शासकहरू, ओरेब र जएबमाथि विजय दिनुभएको छ! तिमीहरूका तुलनामा मैले के प्राप्त गरेको छु र?” जब तिनले यसो भने तब तिनीप्रतिको उनीहरूको रिस मर्यो ।
God hath deliuered into your handes the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? and when he had thus spoken, then their spirits abated toward him.
4 गिदोन यर्दनमा आए, र तिनी र तिनीसँग भएका तिन सय जना मानिसले त्यो तरे । तिनीहरू थाकेका थिए, तापनि तिनीहरूले खेद्ने काम गरिरहे ।
And Gideon came to Iorden to passe ouer, hee, and the three hundreth men that were with him, weary, yet pursuing them.
5 तिनले सुक्कोतका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “कृपया मेरो पछि आएका मानिसहरूलाई केही रोटी दिनुहोस्, किनकि तिनीहरू थाकेका छन्, र मचाहिं मिद्दानी राजा जेबह र सल्मुन्नालाई खेद्दैछु ।”
And he said vnto the men of Succoth, Giue, I pray you, morsels of bread vnto the people that follow me (for they be wearie) that I may follow after Zebah, and Zalmunna Kings of Midian.
6 तब अधिकारीहरूले भने, “के जेबह र सल्मुन्ना अब तिम्रा हातमा छन् र? हामीले तिम्रो सेनालाई रोटी किन दिनुपर्यो?”
And the princes of Succoth sayde, Are the handes of Zebah and Zalmunna nowe in thine hads, that we should giue bread vnto thine army?
7 गिदोनले भने, “परमप्रभुले हामीलाई जेबह र सल्मुन्नामाथि विजय दिनुभएपछि, मरुभूमिका काँढाहरू र घोच्ने झाडीले म तिमीहरूका छाला काढ्नेछु ।”
Gideon then sayde, Therefore when the Lord hath deliuered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, I will teare your flesh with thornes of the wildernes and with breers.
8 त्यहाँबाट तिनी पनीएलमा गए र त्यहाँका मानिसहरूसँग पनि त्यही कुरा भने, तर पनीएलका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई सुक्कोतका मानिसहरूले झैं बोलेर जवाफ दिए ।
And he went vp thence to Penuel, and spake vnto them likewise, and the men of Penuel answered him, as the men of Succoth answered.
9 तिनले पनीएलका मानिसहरूसँग पनि बोले र यसो भने, “जब म फेरि सकुशल आउनेछु, तब म यो किल्ला भत्काइदिनेछु ।”
And he sayd also vnto the men of Penuel, When I come againe in peace, I will breake downe this towre.
10 यति बेला जेबह र सल्मुन्ना आफ्ना पन्ध्र हजार मानिससहित कर्कोरमा थिए । पूर्वका मानिसहरूका सबै सेनाहरूमा यति नै बाँकी थिए, कनभने त्यहाँ तरवार चलाउने एक लाख बिस हजार मानिसहरू मारिएका थिए ।
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hostes with them, about fifteene thousande, all that were left of all the hostes of them of the East: for there was slaine an hundreth and twentie thousand men, that drew swordes.
11 नोबह र योगबहाभन्दा उता पालमा बस्नेहरूका हिंड्ने बाटोमा गिदोन अगि बढे । तिनले शत्रुको सेनालाई परास्त गरे, किनकि आक्रमण हुन्छ भनेर तिनीहरूले सोचेका थिएनन् ।
And Gideon went through them that dwelt in Tabernacles on the East side of Nobah and Iogbehah, and smote the hoste: for the hoste was carelesse.
12 जेबह र सल्मुन्ना भागे, र जब गिदोनले तिनीहरूलाई खेदे, तब तिनले मिद्दानका ती दुई जना राजा जेबह र सल्मुन्नालाई समाते, र तिनीहरूका जम्मै सेनाहरूमा त्रास ल्याए ।
And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, hee followed after them, and tooke the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the hoste.
13 योआशका छोरा गिदोन युद्धबाट फर्केर हेरेस भन्ज्याङ्को बाटो गए ।
So Gideon the sonne of Ioash returned from battel, the sunne being yet hie,
14 तिनले सुक्कोतका एक जना जवान मानिसलाई समाए र उसलाई सोधे । त्यस जवान मानिसले सुक्कोतका सतहत्तर जना अधिकारी र एल्डरका नाउँ लेखिदियो ।
And tooke a seruant of the me of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote to him the princes of Succoth and the Elders thereof, euen seuentie and seuen men.
15 गिदोन सुक्कोतका मानिसहरूकहाँ आए र भने “जेबह र सल्मुन्नालाई हेर, जसको बारेमा तिमीहरूले मेरो खिल्ली गर्यौ र यसो भन्यौ, ‘के तिमीले जेबह र सल्मुन्नालाई परास्त गरिसकेका छौ र? हामीले तिम्रा सेनालाई रोटी दिनुपर्छ भन्ने कुरा हामीलाई थाहा छैन ।’”
And he came vnto the men of Succoth, and sayd, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, by whome ye vpbrayded me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thine hands, that we should giue bread vnto thy weary men?
16 गिदोनले सहरका एल्डरहरूलाई नियन्त्रणमा लिए, र तिनले सुक्कोतका मानिसहरूलाई मरुभूमिका काँढाहरू र घोच्ने झाडीले दण्ड दिए ।
Then he tooke the Elders of the citie, and thornes of the wildernes and breers, and did teare the men of Succoth with them.
17 तब तिनले पनीएलको किल्ला भत्काइदिए र त्यस सहरका मानिसहरूलाई मारे ।
Also he brake downe the towre of Penuel, and slew the men of the citie.
18 तब गिदोनले जेबह र सल्मुन्नालाई भने, “तिमीहरूले तबोरमा कस्ता मानिसहरूलाई मार्यौ?” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “तिनीहरू तपाईंजस्तै थिए । तिनीहरूमध्ये हरेक व्यक्ति राजाका छोराजस्ता देखिन्थे ।”
Then saide he vnto Zebah and Zalmunna, What maner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? and they answered, As thou art, so were they: euery one was like the children of a King.
19 गिदोनले भने, “तिनीहरू मेरा दाजु-भाइ, मेरी आमाका छोराहरू थिए । परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएको हुनाले, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई जीवितै राखेका भए, म तिमीहरूलाई मार्ने थिइनँ ।”
And he said, They were my brethren, euen my mothers children: as the Lord liueth, if ye had saued their liues, I would not slay you.
20 तिनले आफ्नो जेठो छोरो येतेरलाई भने, “उठ् र उनीहरूलाई मार् ।” तर त्यो जवान मानिसले आफ्नो तरवार झिकेन किनकि ऊ डरायो, किनभने ऊ अझैसम्म एउटा सानो केटो नै थियो ।”
Then he sayde vnto Iether his first borne sonne, Vp, and slay them: but the boy drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet yong.
21 त्यसपछि जेबह र सल्मुन्नाले भने, “तपाईं नै उठेर हामीलाई मार्नुहोस्! किनभने तपाईंसँग पुरुषको बल छ ।” गिदोन उठे र जेबह र सल्मुन्नालाई मारे । तिनले उनीहरूका ऊँटका घाँटीमा भएका चन्द्रहारका गहनाहरू पनि लगे ।
Then Zebah and Zalmunna sayd, Rise thou, and fall vpon vs: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and tooke away the ornamentes, that were on their camels neckes.
22 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिदोनलाई भने, “तपाईं, तपाईंका छोरा, तपाईंका नातिले हामीमाथि राज्य गरून्, किनभने तपाईंले हामीलाई मिद्दानीका हातबाट बचाउनुभएको छ ।”
Then the men of Israel sayd vnto Gideon, Reigne thou ouer vs, both thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne: for thou hast deliuered vs out of the hand of Midian.
23 गिदोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म तिमीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नेछैनँ, न त मेरो छोराले राज्य गर्नेछ । परमप्रभुले नै तिमीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
And Gideon sayde vnto them, I will not reigne ouer you, neither shall my childe reigne ouer you, but the Lord shall reigne ouer you.
24 गिदोनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म तिमीहरूसँग एउटा अनुरोध गर्न चाहन्छु: तिमीहरू हरेकले आफ्नो लुटको सामानबाट मलाई कुण्डलहरू देओ ।” (मिद्दानीहरूले सुनका कुण्डल लगाउँथे, किनभने तिनीहरू इश्माएलीहरू थिए ।)
Againe Gideon sayd vnto them, I would desire a request of you, that you would giue mee euery man the earings of his pray (for they had golden earings because they were Ismaelites)
25 तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “ती तपाईंलाई दिन हामी खुशी छौं ।” तिनीहरूले एउटा लुगा ओछ्याए र हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो लुटको सामनाबाट कुण्डलचाहिँ त्यसमा राखे ।
And they answered, Wee will giue them. And they spred a garment, and did cast therein euery man the earings of his pray.
26 उनले अनुरोध गरेका सुनका कुण्डलको तौल १,७०० शेकेल सुन भयो । यी सुन ती चन्द्रहारका गहनाहरू, अरू गहनाहरू, मिद्दानी राजाहरूले लगाएका बैजनी वस्त्र, र तिनीहरूका ऊँटका घाँटीमा भएका सिक्रीहरूभन्दा बाहेकका थिए ।
And the weight of the golden earings that he required, was a thousande and seuen hundreth shekels of golde, beside collers and iewels, and purple rayment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the cheynes that were about their camels neckes.
27 गिदोनले ती कुण्डलहरूबाट एउटा एपोद बनाए र आफ्नो सहर ओप्रामा राखे, र सबै इस्राएलले त्यसको पुजा गरेर वेश्याजस्तै भए । गिदोन र उनका घरमा भएकाहरूका निम्ति यो एउटा पासो हुन गयो ।
And Gideon made an Ephod thereof, and put it in Ophrah his citie: and all Israel went a whoring there after it, which was the destruction of Gideon and his house.
28 यसरी मिद्दानीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका अधीनमा रहे र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो शिर फेरि कहिल्यै उठाएनन् । यसरी गिदोनको समयमा देशमा चालिस वर्षसम्म शान्ति भयो ।
Thus was Midian brought lowe before the children of Israel, so that they lift vp their heads no more: and the countrey was in quietnes fourtie yeeres in the dayes of Gideon.
29 योआशका छोरा, यरूब-बाल गए र आफ्नै घरमा बसे ।
Then Ierubbaal the sonne of Ioash went, and dwelt in his owne house.
30 गिदोनको वंशमा सत्तरी छोराहरू थिए, किनकि तिनका धेरै जना पत्नीहरू थिए ।
And Gideon had seuentie sonnes begotten of his body: for he had many wiues.
31 शकेमामा बस्ने तिनकी उपपत्नीले पनि तिनको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माइन्, र गिदोनले उसको नाउँ अबीमेलेक राखे ।
And his concubine that was in Shechem, bare him a sonne also, whose name he called Abimelech.
32 योआशका छोरा गिदोन धेरै वृद्ध अवस्थामा मरे र तिनलाई आफ्नै बुबा योआशको चिहानमा अबीएजेरीहरूको ओप्रामा गाडियो ।
So Gideon the sonne of Ioash dyed in a good age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Ioash his father in Ophrah, of the father of ye Ezrites.
33 गिदोनको मृत्यु हुनेबित्तिकै यस्तो भयो, इस्राएलका मानिसहरू फेरि फर्के र बाल देवताहरूको पुजा गरेर वेश्याजस्ता भए । तिनीहरूले बाल-बरीतलाई आफ्नो देवता बनाए ।
But when Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned away and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their God.
34 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई सम्मान गर्न सम्झेनन्, जसले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना वरिपरि भएका सबै शत्रुबाट बचाउनुभएको थियो ।
And the children of Israel remembred not the Lord their God, which had deliuered the out of the hands of all their enemies on euery side.
35 यरूब-बालले (अर्थात् गिदोनले) इस्राएलमा तिनीहरूका निम्ति गरेका सबै असल कुराहरूका खातिर तिनीहरूले गिदोनको घरानालाई गरेका आफ्ना प्रतिज्ञाहरूलाई पुरा गरेनन् ।
Neither shewed they mercy on the house of Ierubbaal, or Gideon, according to al the goodnesse which he had shewed vnto Israel.
