न्यायकर्ताहरू 1

1 यहोशूको मृत्युपछि, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसो भनेर सोधे, “हाम्रा निम्ति कनानीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध लड्‍नलाई तिनीहरूलाई पहिला कसले आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ?”

After the death of Joshua, the sons of Israel consulted the Lord, saying, “Who will ascend before us, against the Canaanite, and who will be the commander of the war?”

2 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “यहूदाले आक्रमण गर्नेछ । हेर, मैले तिनीहरूलाई यस देशमाथि अधिकार दिएको छु ।”

And the Lord said: “Judah shall ascend. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hands.”

3 यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइ शिमियोनीहरूलाई यसो भने, “हामीलाई दिइएको इलाकामा हामीसँग आओ, यसरी कनानीहरूका विरुद्ध हामीले एकसाथ युद्ध लड्‍न सक्‍छौं । त्‍यसरी नै हामी पनि तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको इलाकामा तिमीहरूसँग जानेछौं ।” यसैले शिमियोनी कुल तिनीहरूसँग गए ।

And Judah said to his brother Simeon, “Go up with me to my lot, and fight against the Canaanite, so that I also may go forth with you to your lot.” And Simeon went with him.

4 यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आक्रमण गरे, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई कनानीहरू र परिज्‍जीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूले बेजेकमा तिनीहरूका दश हजार जनालाई मारे ।

And Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanite, as well as the Perizzite, into their hands. And they struck down ten thousand of the men at Bezek.

5 तिनीहरूले बेजेकमा अदोनी-बेजेकलाई भेट्टाए, र उनको विरुद्ध तिनीहरू लडे, अनि कनानीहरू र परिज्‍जीहरूलाई परास्त गरे ।

And they found Adonibezek at Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.

6 तर अदोनी-बेजेक भागे, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई लखेटे र समाए, र तिनीहरूले उनका हात र खुट्टाका बुढी औंला काटिदिए ।

Then Adonibezek fled. And they pursued him and captured him, and they cut off the ends of his hands and feet.

7 अदोनी-बेजेकले भने, “हात र खुट्टाका बुढी औंला काटिएका सत्तरी जना राजाले मेरो टेबिलको मुनिबाट आफ्‍नो निम्ति भोजन बाटुल्‍थे । मैले जस्तो गरेको थिएँ, परमेश्‍वरले मलाई त्यस्तै गर्नुभएको छ ।” तिनीहरूले उनलाई यरूशलेममा ल्याए, र उनी त्यहीं मरे ।

And Adonibezek said: “Seventy kings, with the ends of their hands and feet amputated, have been gathering the remnants of food under my table. Just as I have done, so has God repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 यहूदाका मानिसहरू यरूशलेम सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे र त्यसलाई कब्जामा लिए । तिनीहरूले त्यो सहरलाई तरवारको धारले आक्रमण गरे र त्यसमा आगो लगाइदिए ।

Then the sons of Judah, besieging Jerusalem, seized it. And they struck it with edge of the sword, delivering the entire city to be burned.

9 त्यसपछि, यहूदाका मानिसहरू पहाडी देश, नेगेव र पश्‍चिमी पहाडका फेदीहरूमा बसोबास गर्ने कनानीहरूकहाँ युद्ध गर्न गए ।

And afterward, descending, they fought against the Canaanites who were living in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.

10 यहूदा हेब्रोनमा बस्‍ने (हेब्रोनको नाउँ पहिला किर्यत-अर्बा थियो) कनानीहरूतर्फ अगाडि बढे, र तिनीहरूले शेशै, अहीमन, र तल्मैलाई परास्त गरे ।

And Judah, going forth against the Canaanites who were living at Hebron, (the name of which from antiquity was Kiriath-Arba) struck down Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 त्यहाँबाट यहूदाका मानिसहरू दबीरका बासिन्दाहरूतर्फ अगि बढे (पहिला दबीरको नाउँ किर्यत-सेपेर थियो) ।

And continuing on from there, he went to the inhabitants of Debir, the old name of which was Kiriath-Sepher, that is, the City of Letters.

12 कालेबले भने, “जसले किर्यत-सेपेरलाई आक्रमण गर्छ र त्यसलाई लिन्‍छ, त्यसको पत्‍नी हुनलाई मेरी छोरी अक्सालाई म दिनेछु ।”

And Caleb said, “Whoever will strike Kiriath-Sepher, and will lay waste to it, I will give to him my daughter Achsah as wife.”

13 कालेबका भाइ कनजका छोरा, ओत्‍निएलले दबीरमाथि कब्जा गरे, यसैले कालेबले आफ्नी छोरी अक्सा तिनकी पत्‍नी हुनलाई दिए ।

And when Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb, had seized it, he gave his daughter Achsah to him in marriage.

14 चाँडै नै अक्सा ओत्‍निएलकहाँ आइन्, र आफ्ना बुबासँग तिनको निम्ति एउटा जमिन मागिदिनलाई बिन्ती गरिन् । तिनी आफ्नो गधाबाट तल झर्दै गर्दा, कालेबले तिनलाई सोधे, “तिम्रो निम्ति म के गर्न सक्‍छु?”

And as she was traveling on a journey, her husband admonished her, so that she would request a field from her father. And since she had sighed while sitting on her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What is it?”

15 तिनले उनलाई भनिन्, “मलाई एउटा आशिष् दिनुहोस् । तपाईंले मलाई नेगेवको भूमि दिनुभएको छ, मलाई पानीका मूलहरू पनि दिनुहोस् ।” यसैले कालेबले तिनलाई माथिल्लो र तल्लो पानीका मूलहरू दिए ।

But she responded: “Give a blessing to me. For you have given me a dry land. Also give a watered land.” Therefore, Caleb gave to her the upper watered land and the lower watered land.

16 मोशाका ससुराका वंश, केनीहरू खजूरका रूखहरूको सहरबाट आरादको नजिक यहूदाको उजाड-स्‍थानमा त्यहाँका मानिसहरूसँग बस्‍न गए, जुन नेगेवमा पर्छ ।

Now the sons of the Kenite, the relative of Moses, ascended from the City of Palms, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of his lot, which is toward the south of Arad. And they lived with him.

17 यहूदाका मानिसहरू आफ्ना दाजुभाइ शिमियोनका मानिसहरूसँग गए र तिनीहरूले सपतमा बसोबास गर्ने कनानीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नाश गरे । त्यस सहरको नाउँ होर्मा थियो ।

Then Judah went out with his brother Simeon, and together they struck the Canaanites who were living at Zephath, and they put them to death. And the name of the city was called Hormah, that is, Anathema.

18 यहूदाका मानिसहरूले गाजा र त्यसको आसपासको क्षेत्र, अश्कलोन र त्यसको आसपासको क्षेत्र, अनि एक्रोन र त्यसको आसपासको क्षेत्र पनि कब्जा गरे ।

And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders.

19 परमप्रभु यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तिनीहरूले पहाडी देशमाथि अधिकार गरे, तर तिनीहरूले मैदानका बासिन्दाहरूलाई बाहिर निकाल्न सकेनन्, किनभने तिनीहरूसँग फलामका रथहरू थिए ।

And the Lord was with Judah, and he possessed the mountains. But he was not able to wipe out the inhabitants of the valley. For they abounded with chariots armed with scythes.

20 कालेबलाई हेब्रोन दिइयो (मोशाले भनेझैं), र तिनले त्यहाँबाट अनाकका तिन जना छोरालाई बाहिर निकाले ।

And just as Moses had said, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Anak.

21 तर बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूले यरूशलेममा बसोबास गर्ने यबूसीहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेनन् । यसैले यरूशलेममा आजको दिनसम्मै यबूसीहरू बेन्यामीनका मानिसहरूसँग बसोबास गर्दै आएका छन् ।

But the sons of Benjamin did not wipe out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem. And the Jebusite has lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem, even to the present day.

22 योसेफका घरानाले बेथेललाई आक्रमण गर्नको निम्ति तयारी गरे, र परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।

The house of Joseph also ascended against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.

23 तिनीहरूले बेथेलमा जासुसी गर्न मानिसहरू पठाए (त्यो सहरलाई पहिला लूज भनिन्थ्यो) ।

For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,

24 ती जासुसहरूले सहरबाट एक जना मानिस बाहिर निस्कँदै गरेको देखे, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भने, “सहरभित्र कसरी प्रवेश गर्ने भनेर कृपया हामीलाई देखाउनुहोस्, र तपाईंप्रति हामी दयालु हुनेछौं ।”

they saw a man departing from the city, and they said to him, “Reveal to us the entrance to the city, and we will act with mercy toward you.”

25 उसले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो सहरभित्र जाने बाटो देखायो, र यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो सहरलाई तरवारको धारले आक्रमण गरे, तर तिनीहरूले त्यस मानिस र उसका जम्मै परिवारलाई जान दिए ।

And when he had revealed it to them, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But that man, and all his relatives, they released.

26 तब त्यो मानिस हित्तीहरूको देशमा गयो र एउटा सहर निर्माण गर्‍यो अनि त्यसलाई लूज नाउँ दियो, र आजसम्मै त्‍यसको नाउँ हो ।

And having been sent away, he went out to the land of the Hittites, and he built a city there, and he called it Luz. And so it is called, even to the present day.

27 मनश्शेका मानिसहरूले बेथ-शान, तानाक, डोर, यिबलाम, र मगीद्दो र ती सबैका गाउँहरूमा बसोबास गर्नेहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेनन्, किनभने कनानीहरूले ती ठाउँहरूमा बस्‍ने पक्‍का गरेका थिए ।

Likewise, Manasseh did not destroy Bethshean and Taanach, with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and Ibleam and Megiddo, with their villages. And the Canaanite began to live with them.

28 जब इस्राएल शक्तिशाली भ ए, तिनीहरूले कनानीहरूलाई आफ्नो निम्ति कडा परिश्रमले सेवा गर्न लगाए, तर तिनीहरूलाई कहिल्यै पनि पूर्ण रूपमा बाहिर निकालेनन् ।

Then, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.

29 एफ्राइमले गेजेरमा बसोबास गर्ने कनानीहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेनन्, यसैले कनानीहरू गेजेरमा तिनीहरूका माझमा नै बसोबास गरे ।

And now Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite, who was living at Gezer; instead, he lived with him.

30 जबूलूनले कित्रोन वा नहलोलमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेनन्, र यसैले कनानीहरू तिनीहरूका माझमा नै बसोबास गरे, तर जबूलूनले कनानीहरूलाई कडा परिश्रमसँग तिनीहरूहरूको सेवा गर्न लगाए ।

Zebulun did not wipe out the inhabitants of Kitron and of Nahalal. Instead, the Canaanite lived in their midst and became their tributary.

31 आशेरले अक्‍को, सीदोन, अहलाब, अक्जीब, हेलवा, अपेक, र रहोबमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेनन् ।

Likewise, Asher did not destroy the inhabitants of Acco and Sidon, Ahlab and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob.

32 यसैकारण आशेरको कुल कनानीहरूसँग (जो त्यस देशमा बसोबास गर्थे) बसोबास गरे, किनभने तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेनन् ।

And he lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of that land, for he did not put them to death.

33 नप्‍तालीका कुलले बेथ-शेमेश र बेथ-अनातमा बसोबास गर्नेहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेनन् । यसैले नप्‍तालीको कुल कनानीहरूका (ती मानिसहरू जो त्यस देशमा बसोबास गर्थे) बिचमा बसोबास गरे । तथापि बेथ-शेमेश र बेथ-अनातका बासिन्दाहरूलाई नप्‍तलीको निम्ति कडा परिश्रम गर्न लगाइयो ।

Naphtali also did not wipe out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Bethanath. And he lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. And the Beth-shemeshites and Bethanathites were tributaries to him.

34 एमोरीहरूले दानका कुललाई पहाडी देशमा बसोबास गर्न बाध्‍ये पारे, र तिनीहरूलाई तल मैदान आउन दिएनन् ।

And the Amorite hemmed in the sons of Dan on the mountain, and did not give them a place, so that they might descend to the flatlands.

35 यसैले एमोरीहरू हेरेस पर्वत, अय्यालोन, र शाल्बीममा बसोबास गरे, तर योसेफका घरानाको सैन्य शक्तिले तिनीहरूलाई परास्त गर्‍यो, र तिनीहरूलाई कडा परिश्रमले उनीहरूको सेवा गर्न लगाइयो ।

And he lived on the mountain at Har-heres, which is translated as ‘resembling brick,’ and at Aijalon and Sha-alabbin. But the hand of the house of Joseph was very heavy, and he became a tributary to him.

36 एमोरीहरूको सिमाना अक्रब्बीमको उकालोदेखि पहाडी देश सेलादेखि माथिसम्म पर्थ्यो ।

Now the border of the Amorite was from the Ascent of the Scorpion, to the Rock and the higher places.
