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 Josue the children of Israel consulted the Lord, saying: Who shall go up before us against the Chanaanite, and shall be the leader of the war?

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

And the Lord said: Juda shall go up: 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 Juda said to Simeon his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy 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 Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men.

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

And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite.

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

And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes.

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 Adonibezec said: Seventy kings having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited 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 ।

And the children of Juda besieging Jerusalem, took it, and put it to the sword, and set the whole city on fire.

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

And afterwards they went down and fought against the Chanaanite, who dwelt 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 Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai:

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

And departing from thence he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-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: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife.

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

And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, having taken it, he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.

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 going on her way her husband admonished her to ask a field of her father. And as she sighed sitting on her ass, Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?

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 answered: Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a dry land: give me also a watery land. So Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.

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

And Juda took Gaza with its confines, and Ascalon and Accaron with their confines.

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 Juda, and he possessed the hill country: but was not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, because they had many chariots armed with scythes.

The house of Joseph also went up 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 before was called Luza,

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 coming out of the city, and they said to him: Shew us the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.

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 shewn them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man and all his kindred they let go:

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