न्यायाधीश 1

1:1 After the death of Joshua, the sons of Israel consulted the Lord, म्हणत, “Who will ascend before us, against the Canaanite, and who will be the commander of the war?"
1:2 आणि प्रभु म्हणाला: “Judah shall ascend. बघा, I have delivered the land into his hands.”
1:3 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.
1:4 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.
1:5 And they found Adonibezek at Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
1:6 Then Adonibezek fled. And they pursued him and captured him, and they cut off the ends of his hands and feet.
1:7 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.
1:8 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.
1:9 आणि नंतर, descending, they fought against the Canaanites who were living in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
1:10 आणि यहूदा, 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.
1:11 And continuing on from there, he went to the inhabitants of Debir, the old name of which was Kiriath-Sepher, ते आहे, the City of Letters.
1:12 And Caleb said, “Whoever will strike Kiriath-Sepher, and will lay waste to it, I will give to him my daughter Achsah as wife.”
1:13 And when Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb, had seized it, he gave his daughter Achsah to him in marriage.
1:14 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, "हे काय आहे?"
1:15 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.
1:16 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.
1:17 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, ते आहे, Anathema.
1:18 And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders.
1:19 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.
1:20 And just as Moses had said, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Anak.
1:21 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, अगदी आजच्या दिवसापर्यंत.
1:22 The house of Joseph also ascended against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
1:23 For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,
1:24 they saw a man departing from the city, ते त्याला म्हणाले, “Reveal to us the entrance to the city, and we will act with mercy toward you.”
1:25 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.
1:26 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, अगदी आजच्या दिवसापर्यंत.
1:27 तसेच, 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.
1:28 मग, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.
1:29 And now Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite, who was living at Gezer; instead, he lived with him.
1:30 Zebulun did not wipe out the inhabitants of Kitron and of Nahalal. त्याऐवजी, the Canaanite lived in their midst and became their tributary.
1:31 तसेच, Asher did not destroy the inhabitants of Acco and Sidon, Ahlab and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob.
1:32 And he lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of that land, for he did not put them to death.
1:33 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.
1:34 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.
1:35 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.
1:36 Now the border of the Amorite was from the Ascent of the Scorpion, to the Rock and the higher places.

न्यायाधीश 2

2:1 And an Angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to the Place of Weeping, आणि तो म्हणाला: “I led you away from Egypt, and I led you into the land, about which I swore to your fathers. And I promised that I would not nullify my covenant with you, अगदी कायमचे:
2:2 but only if you would not form a pact with the inhabitants of this land. त्याऐवजी, you should overturn their altars. Yet you were not willing to listen to my voice. Why have you done this?
2:3 या कारणास्तव, I am not willing to destroy them before your face, so that you may have enemies, and so that their gods may be your ruin.”
2:4 And when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
2:5 आणि त्या जागेचे नाव पडले, the Place of Weeping, or the Place of Tears. And they immolated victims to the Lord in that place.
2:6 Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went away, each one to his own possession, so that they might obtain it.
2:7 And they served the Lord, during all his days, and during all the days of the elders, who lived for a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
2:8 मग जोशुआ, नूनचा मुलगा, परमेश्वराचा सेवक, मरण पावला, एकशे दहा वर्षांचे असणे.
2:9 And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
2:10 And that entire generation was gathered to their fathers. And there rose up others, who had not known the Lord and the works that he had done for Israel.
2:11 इस्राएल लोकांनी परमेश्वराच्या दृष्टीने वाईट केले, आणि त्यांनी बालांची सेवा केली.
2:12 आणि त्यांनी परमेश्वराचा त्याग केला, त्यांच्या पूर्वजांचा देव, ज्याने त्यांना इजिप्त देशातून दूर नेले होते. आणि ते परकीय देव आणि त्यांच्या आजूबाजूला राहणार्‍या लोकांच्या दैवतांचे अनुकरण करत होते, आणि त्यांनी त्यांची पूजा केली. आणि त्यांनी परमेश्वराला क्रोधित केले,
2:13 त्याला सोडून देणे, आणि बाल आणि अष्टारोथची सेवा करत आहे.
2:14 आणि प्रभू, इस्रायलवर रागावले, त्यांना लुटणाऱ्यांच्या हाती दिले, ज्यांनी त्यांना पकडले आणि सर्व बाजूंनी राहणाऱ्या शत्रूंना विकले. ते त्यांच्या शत्रूंचाही सामना करू शकले नाहीत.
2:15 त्याऐवजी, त्यांना जिथे जायचे होते, परमेश्वराचा हात त्यांच्यावर होता, जसे त्याने सांगितले आणि जसे त्याने त्यांना शपथ दिली. आणि त्यांना खूप त्रास झाला.
2:16 आणि परमेश्वराने न्यायाधीशांना उभे केले, जो त्यांना त्यांच्या जुलमींच्या हातातून मुक्त करेल. पण ते त्यांचे ऐकायला तयार नव्हते.
2:17 परदेशी देवतांशी व्यभिचार करणे आणि त्यांची पूजा करणे, त्यांचे पूर्वज ज्या वाटेने पुढे गेले होते ते त्यांनी त्वरीत सोडले. आणि प्रभूच्या आज्ञा ऐकून, त्यांनी सर्व गोष्टी उलट केल्या.
2:18 आणि प्रभू न्यायाधीशांना उठवत असताना, त्यांच्या दिवसात, त्याला दया आली, त्याने दुःखी लोकांचे आक्रोश ऐकले, आणि त्याने त्यांना त्यांच्या अत्याचारी लोकांच्या कत्तलीतून मुक्त केले.
2:19 पण एका न्यायाधीशाचा मृत्यू झाल्यानंतर, ते मागे वळले, आणि त्यांनी त्यांच्या पूर्वजांपेक्षा वाईट गोष्टी केल्या, विचित्र देवांचे अनुसरण, त्यांची सेवा करत आहे, आणि त्यांना आराधना. त्यांनी त्यांचा पाठलाग आणि त्यांचा अत्यंत जिद्दीचा मार्ग सोडला नाही, ज्याद्वारे त्यांना चालण्याची सवय होती.
2:20 And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, आणि तो म्हणाला: “For this people has made void my covenant, which I had formed with their fathers, and they have despised listening to my voice.
2:21 आणि म्हणून, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
2:22 त्यामुळे, by them, I may test Israel, as to whether or not they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, just as their fathers kept it.”
2:23 त्यामुळे, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.

न्यायाधीश 3

3:1 These are the nations which the Lord left, so that by them he might instruct Israel and all who had not known the wars of the Canaanites,
3:2 so that afterward their sons might learn to contend with their enemies, and to have a willingness to do battle:
3:3 the five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who were living on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath.
3:4 And he left them, so that by them he might test Israel, as to whether or not they would listen to the commandments of the Lord, which he instructed to their fathers by the hand of Moses.
3:5 आणि म्हणून, the sons of Israel lived in the midst of the Canaanite, आणि हित्ती, आणि अमोरी, आणि पेरिझाईट, आणि हिवाइट, आणि जेबुसी.
3:6 And they took their daughters as wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
3:7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, while serving the Baals and Ashtaroth.
3:8 आणि प्रभू, having become angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim, the king of Mesopotamia, and they served him for eight years.
3:9 त्यांनी परमेश्वराचा धावा केला, who raised up for them a savior, and he freed them, म्हणजे, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb.
3:10 And the Spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim, सीरियाचा राजा, and he overwhelmed him.
3:11 And the land was quiet for forty years. And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, मरण पावला.
3:12 Then the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord, who strengthened Eglon, मवाबचा राजा, against them because they did evil in his sight.
3:13 And he joined to him the sons of Ammon and the sons of Amalek. And he went forth and struck Israel, and he possessed the City of Palms.
3:14 And the sons of Israel served Eglon, मवाबचा राजा, for eighteen years.
3:15 आणि नंतर, they cried out to the Lord, who raised up for them a savior, called Ehud, गेरा चा मुलगा, बेंजामिनचा मुलगा, who used either hand as well as the right hand. And the sons of Israel sent gifts to Eglon, मवाबचा राजा, त्याच्या द्वारे.
3:16 And he made for himself a two-edged sword, having a handle, reaching to the middle, the length of the palm of a hand. And he was girded with it under his cloak, on the right thigh.
3:17 And he offered the gifts to Eglon, मवाबचा राजा. Now Eglon was exceedingly fat.
3:18 And when he had presented the gifts to him, he followed out his companions, who had arrived with him.
3:19 आणि मग, returning from Gilgal where the idols were, he said to the king, “I have a secret word for you, O king.” And he ordered silence. And when all those who were around him had departed,
3:20 Ehud entered to him. Now he was sitting alone in a summer upper room. आणि तो म्हणाला, “I have a word from God to you.” And immediately he rose up from his throne.
3:21 And Ehud extended his left hand, and he took the dagger from his right thigh. And he thrust it into his abdomen
3:22 so strongly that the handle followed the blade into the wound, and was enclosed by the great amount of fat. Neither did he withdraw the sword. त्याऐवजी, he left it in the body just as he had struck with it. आणि लगेच, by the private parts of nature, the filth of the bowels went out.
3:23 Then Ehud carefully closed the doors of the upper room. And securing the bars,
3:24 he departed by a back exit. आणि राजाचे सेवक, प्रवेश करत आहे, saw that the doors of the upper room were closed, आणि ते म्हणाले, “Perhaps he is emptying his bowels in the summer room.”
3:25 And after waiting a long time, until they were embarrassed, and seeing that no one opened the door, they took the key, and opening it, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
3:26 But Ehud, while they were in confusion, escaped and passed by the place of the idols, from which he had returned. And he arrived at Seirath.
3:27 And immediately he sounded the trumpet on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel descended with him, he himself advancing at the front.
3:28 तो त्यांना म्हणाला: “Follow me. For the Lord has delivered our enemies, the Moabites, into our hands.” And they descended after him, and they occupied the fords of the Jordan, which cross over to Moab. And they did not permit anyone to cross.
3:29 आणि म्हणून, they struck down the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and robust men. None of them were able to escape.
3:30 And Moab was humbled in that day under the hand of Israel. And the land was quiet for eighty years.
3:31 त्याच्या नंतर, there was Shamgar, the son of Anath, who struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with a plowshare. And he also defended Israel.

न्यायाधीश 4

4:1 But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
4:2 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor. And he had a commander of his army named Sisera, but this man lived at Harosheth of the Gentiles.
4:3 And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. For he had nine hundred chariots with scythes, and he vehemently oppressed them for twenty years.
4:4 Now there was a prophetess, डेबोरा, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.
4:5 And she was sitting under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Ramah and Bethel, on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for every judgment.
4:6 And she sent and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh of Naphtali. आणि ती त्याला म्हणाली: “The Lord, इस्राएलचा देव, instructs you: ‘Go and lead an army to Mount Tabor, and you shall take with you ten thousand fighting men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.
4:7 Then I will lead to you, at the place of the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the leader of the army of Jabin, with his chariots and the entire multitude. And I will deliver them into your hand.’ ”
4:8 And Barak said to her: “If you will come with me, मी जाईन. If you are not willing to come with me, I will not go.”
4:9 She said to him: “खरंच, I will go with you. But due to this change, the victory shall not be reputed to you. And so Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman.” Therefore, Deborah rose up, and she traveled with Barak to Kedesh.
4:10 आणि तो, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.
4:11 Now Heber, the Kenite, had previously withdrawn from the rest of the Kenites, त्याचे भाऊ, the sons of Hobab, the relative of Moses. And he had pitched his tents as far as the valley that is called Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
4:12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.
4:13 And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, आणि संपूर्ण सैन्य, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.
4:14 And Deborah said to Barak: "उठून. For this is the day on which the Lord delivers Sisera into your hands. For he is your commander.” And so, Barak descended from Mount Tabor, and the ten thousand fighting men with him.
4:15 And the Lord struck Sisera with great fear, and all his chariots and all his multitude with the edge of the sword, in the sight of Barak, so much so that Sisera, leaping from his chariot, fled on foot.
4:16 And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.
4:17 But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber, the Kenite.
4:18 त्यामुळे, Jael went out to meet Sisera, आणि ती त्याला म्हणाली: “Enter to me, हे राश्याधिपती, हे नाथ, हे प्रभू. प्रविष्ट करा, you should not be afraid.” And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,
4:19 तो तिला म्हणाला: “Give me, मी तुला विनवणी करतो, a little water. For I am very thirsty.” And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.
4:20 And Sisera said to her: “Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, ‘Could there be any man here?’ you shall respond, ‘There is no one.’ ”
4:21 And so Jael, the wife of Heber, took a spike from the tent, and also took a mallet. And entering unseen and with silence, she placed the spike over the temple of his head. And striking it with the mallet, she drove it through his brain, as far as the ground. आणि म्हणून, joining deep sleep to death, he fell unconscious and died.
4:22 आणि पाहा, Barak arrived, in pursuit of Sisera. And Jael, going out to meet him, त्याला म्हणाला, “ये, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he had entered her tent, he saw Sisera lying dead, with the spike fixed in his temples.
4:23 Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, त्या दिवशी, before the sons of Israel.
4:24 And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.

न्यायाधीश 5

5:1 त्या दिवसात, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang out, म्हणत:
5:2 “All you of Israel who have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord!
5:3 Listen, O kings! Pay attention, O princes! It is I, it is I, who will sing to the Lord. I will sing a psalm to the Lord, इस्राएलचा देव!
5:4 हे परमेश्वरा, when you departed from Seir, and you crossed through the regions of Edom, the earth and the heavens were moved, and the clouds rained down water.
5:5 The mountains flowed away before the face of the Lord, and Sinai, before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
5:6 In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the paths were quiet. And whoever entered by them, walked along rough byways.
5:7 The strong men ceased, and they rested in Israel, until Deborah rose up, until a mother rose up in Israel.
5:8 The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overturned the gates of the enemies. A shield with a spear was not seen among the forty thousand of Israel.
5:9 My heart loves the leaders of Israel. All you who, of your own free will, offered yourselves during a crisis, bless the Lord.
5:10 You who ride upon donkeys laboring, and you who sit in judgment, and you who walk along the way, speak out.
5:11 Where the chariots were struck together, and the army of the enemies was choked, त्या ठिकाणी, let the justices of the Lord be described, and let his clemency be for the brave of Israel. Then did the people of the Lord descend to the gates, and obtain leadership.
5:12 उठून, उठून, O Deborah! उठून, उठून, and speak a canticle! उठून, Barak, and seize your captives, O son of Abinoam.
5:13 The remnants of the people were saved. The Lord contended with the strong.
5:14 Out of Ephraim, he destroyed those with Amalek, and after him, out of Benjamin, those of your people, O Amalek. From Machir, there descended leaders, and from Zebulun, those who led the army to war.
5:15 The commanders of Issachar were with Deborah, and they followed the steps of Barak, who endangered himself, like one rushing headlong into a chasm. Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.
5:16 Why do you live between two borders, so that you hear the bleating of the flocks? Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.
5:17 Gilead rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan was occupied with ships. Asher was living on the shore of the sea, and dwelling in the ports.
5:18 तरीही खरोखर, Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merom.
5:19 The kings came and fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach, beside the waters of Megiddo. And yet they took no spoils.
5:20 The conflict against them was from heaven. The stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisera.
5:21 The torrent of Kishon dragged away their carcasses, the onrushing torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, tread upon the stalwart!
5:22 The hoofs of the horses were broken, while the strongest of the enemies fled away with fury, and rushed on to ruin.
5:23 ‘Cursed be the land of Meroz!’ said the Angel of the Lord. ‘Cursed be its inhabitants! For they did not come to the aid of the Lord, to the assistance of his most valiant men.’
5:24 Blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. And blessed is she in her tabernacle.
5:25 He begged her for water, and she gave him milk, and she offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
5:26 She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s mallet. And she struck Sisera, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing his temples.
5:27 Between her feet, he was ruined. He fainted away and passed on. He curled up before her feet, and he lay there lifeless and miserable.
5:28 His mother gazed through a window and wailed. And she spoke from an upper room: ‘Why does his chariot delay in returning? Why are the feet of his team of horses so slow?'
5:29 One who was wiser than the rest of his wives responded to her mother-in-law with this:
5:30 ‘Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the most beautiful among the women is being selected for him. Garments of diverse colors are being delivered to Sisera as spoils, and various goods are being collected for the adornment of necks.’
5:31 हे परमेश्वरा, so may all your enemies perish! But may those who love you shine with splendor, as the sun shines at its rising.”
5:32 And the land rested for forty years.

न्यायाधीश 6

6:1 Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, who delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years.
6:2 And they were greatly oppressed by them. And they made for themselves hollows and caves in the mountains, and very fortified places for defense.
6:3 And when Israel had planted, Midian and Amalek, and the rest of the eastern nations ascended,
6:4 and pitching their tents among them, they laid waste to all that was planted, as far as the entrance to Gaza. And they left behind nothing at all to sustain life in Israel, neither sheep, nor oxen, nor donkeys.
6:5 For they and all their flocks arrived with their tents, and they filled all places like locusts, an innumerable multitude of men and camels, devastating whatever they touched.
6:6 And Israel was humbled greatly in the sight of Midian.
6:7 त्याने परमेश्वराचा धावा केला, requesting assistance against the Midianites.
6:8 And he sent to them a man who was a prophet, आणि तो म्हणाला: “परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो, इस्राएलचा देव: ‘I caused you to ascend from Egypt, and I led you away from the house of servitude.
6:9 And I freed you from the hand of the Egyptians and from all of the enemies who were afflicting you. And I cast them out at your arrival, and I delivered their land to you.
6:10 आणि मी म्हणालो: मी परमेश्वर तुमचा देव आहे. You shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, तुम्ही ज्यांच्या भूमीत राहता. But you were not willing to listen to my voice.’ ”
6:11 मग प्रभूचा एक देवदूत आला, तो ओकच्या झाडाखाली बसला, जे ओफ्रा येथे होते, आणि जे योआशचे होते, एज्रीच्या घराण्याचे वडील. आणि त्याचा मुलगा गिदोन द्राक्षारसाच्या कुंडीत मळणी व धान्य साफ करत असताना, यासाठी की त्याने मिद्यानातून पळ काढावा,
6:12 परमेश्वराच्या देवदूताने त्याला दर्शन दिले, आणि तो म्हणाला: “परमेश्वर तुझ्याबरोबर आहे, सर्वात शूर पुरुष."
6:13 गिदोन त्याला म्हणाला: “मी तुला विनंती करतो, हे राश्याधिपती, हे नाथ, हे प्रभू, जर परमेश्वर आमच्याबरोबर असेल, आमच्यासोबत या गोष्टी का घडल्या? त्याचे चमत्कार कोठे आहेत, जे आमच्या वडिलांनी सांगितले तेव्हा वर्णन केले, ‘परमेश्वराने आम्हाला इजिप्तमधून दूर नेले.’ पण आता परमेश्वराने आम्हाला सोडले आहे, आणि त्याने आम्हांला मिद्यानच्या हाती सोपवले आहे.”
6:14 आणि परमेश्वराने त्याच्याकडे तुच्छतेने पाहिले, आणि तो म्हणाला: "यासह पुढे जा, तुमची ताकद, आणि तू इस्राएलला मिद्यानच्या हातातून सोडवशील. मी तुला पाठवले आहे हे जाणून घ्या.”
6:15 आणि प्रतिसाद देत आहे, तो म्हणाला: “मी तुला विनंती करतो, हे राश्याधिपती, हे नाथ, हे प्रभू, मी इस्राएलला कशाने मुक्त करू? बघा, माझे कुटुंब मनश्शेमध्ये सर्वात कमकुवत आहे, आणि मी माझ्या वडिलांच्या घरात सर्वात लहान आहे.”
6:16 आणि प्रभु त्याला म्हणाला: "मी तुझ्यासोबत असेन. आणि म्हणून, तुम्ही मिद्यानला एक माणूस म्हणून कापून टाका.”
6:17 आणि तो म्हणाला: “जर मला तुमच्यापुढे कृपा मिळाली असेल, मला एक चिन्ह द्या की तूच माझ्याशी बोलत आहेस.
6:18 आणि तुम्ही इथून माघार घेऊ नका, मी तुझ्याकडे परत येईपर्यंत, यज्ञ घेऊन तुला अर्पण करतो.” आणि त्याने प्रतिसाद दिला, "मी तुझी परत येण्याची वाट पाहीन."
6:19 आणि म्हणून गिदोन आत गेला, आणि त्याने एक बकरी उकळली, त्याने पिठाची बेखमीर भाकरी केली. आणि एक टोपली मध्ये मांस सेट, आणि मांसाचा रस्सा एका भांड्यात टाकणे, त्याने ते सर्व ओकच्या झाडाखाली घेतले, त्याने ते त्याला अर्पण केले.
6:20 परमेश्वराचा देवदूत त्याला म्हणाला, “मांस आणि बेखमीर भाकरी घ्या, आणि त्यांना त्या खडकावर ठेवा, आणि त्यावर रस्सा ओता.” आणि जेव्हा त्याने तसे केले होते,
6:21 परमेश्वराच्या देवदूताने एका काठीचा शेवट केला, जो त्याने हातात धरला होता, त्याने मांस व बेखमीर भाकरी यांना स्पर्श केला. आणि खडकावरून आग निघाली, त्याने मांस व बेखमीर भाकरी खाऊन टाकल्या. तेव्हा परमेश्वराचा देवदूत त्याच्या नजरेतून गायब झाला.
6:22 आणि गिदोन, तो परमेश्वराचा देवदूत होता हे लक्षात आले, म्हणाला: “अरे, माझ्या प्रभु देवा! कारण मी प्रभूच्या दूताला समोरासमोर पाहिले आहे.”
6:23 आणि प्रभु त्याला म्हणाला: “तुझ्याबरोबर शांती असो. घाबरु नका; तू मरणार नाहीस.”
6:24 त्यामुळे, गिदोनने तेथे परमेश्वराची वेदी बांधली, आणि त्याने त्याला बोलावले, परमेश्वराची शांती, अगदी आजच्या दिवसापर्यंत. तो ओफ्रा येथे असतानाच, जे एज्रीच्या घराण्यातील आहे,
6:25 that night, परमेश्वर त्याला म्हणाला: “Take a bull of your father’s, and another bull of seven years, and you shall destroy the altar of Baal, which is your father’s. And you shall cut down the sacred grove which is around the altar.
6:26 And you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, at the summit of this rock, on which you placed the sacrifice before. And you shall take the second bull, and you shall offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which you shall cut down from the grove.”
6:27 त्यामुळे, Gideon, taking ten men from his servants, did just as the Lord had instructed him. But fearing his father’s household, and the men of that city, he was not willing to do it by day. त्याऐवजी, he completed everything by night.
6:28 And when the men of that town had risen up in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the sacred grove cut down, and the second bull set upon the altar, which then had been built.
6:29 आणि ते एकमेकांना म्हणाले, “Who has done this?” And when they inquired everywhere as to the author of the deed, it was said, “Gideon, the son of Joash, did all these things.”
6:30 And they said to Joash: “Bring forward your son here, जेणेकरून तो मरेल. For he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and he has cut down the sacred grove.”
6:31 But he responded to them: “Could you be the avengers of Baal, so that you fight on his behalf? Whoever is his adversary, let him die before the light arrives tomorrow; if he is a god, let him vindicate himself against him who has overturned his altar.”
6:32 From that day, Gideon was called Jerubbaal, because Joash had said, “Let Baal avenge himself against him who has overturned his altar.”
6:33 आणि म्हणून, all of Midian, and Amalek, and the eastern peoples were gathered together. And crossing the Jordan, they encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
6:34 But the Spirit of the Lord entered Gideon, WHO, sounding the trumpet, summoned the house of Abiezer so that he might follow him.
6:35 And he sent messengers into all of Manasseh, who also followed him, and other messengers into Asher, आणि जबुलून, and Naphtali, who went to meet him.
6:36 And Gideon said to God: “If you will save Israel by my hand, तुम्ही म्हटल्याप्रमाणे:
6:37 I will set this wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there will be dew only on the fleece, and all the ground is dry, I will know that by my hand, as you have said, you will free Israel.”
6:38 आणि तसे झाले. And rising in the night, wringing out the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.
6:39 And again he said to God: “Let not your fury be enkindled against me, if I test once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that only the fleece may be dry, and all the ground may be wet with dew.”
6:40 And that night, God did as he had requested. And it was dry only on the fleece, and there was dew on all the ground.

7:1 And so Jerubbaal, who is also Gideon, rising in the night, and all the people with him, went to the fountain which is called Harod. Now the camp of Midian was in the valley, to the northern region of the high hill.
7:2 And the Lord said to Gideon: “The people with you are many, but Midian shall not be delivered into their hands, for then Israel might glory against me, and say, ‘I was freed by my own power.’
7:3 Speak to the people, and proclaim in the hearing of all, ‘Whoever has dread or fear, let him return.’ And twenty-two thousand of the men from the people withdrew from Mount Gilead and returned, and only ten thousand remained.
7:4 And the Lord said to Gideon: “The people are still too many. Lead them to the waters, and there I will test them. And those about whom I tell you that he may go with you, let him go; he whom I shall forbid to go, let him return.”
7:5 And when the people had descended to the waters, the Lord said to Gideon: “Whoever will lap the water with the tongue, as dogs usually lap, you shall separate them by themselves. Then those who will drink by bending their knees shall be on the other side.”
7:6 And so the number of those who had lapped the water, by bringing it with the hand to the mouth, was three hundred men. And all the remainder of the multitude drank by bending the knee.
7:7 And the Lord said to Gideon: “By the three hundred men who lapped the water, I will free you, and I will deliver Midian into your hand. But let all the remainder of the multitude return to their place.”
7:8 आणि म्हणून, taking food and trumpets in accord with their number, he instructed all the rest of the multitude to go back to their tents. And with the three hundred men, he gave himself to the conflict. Now the camp of Midian was below, in the valley.
7:9 In the same night, परमेश्वर त्याला म्हणाला: "उठून, and descend into the camp. For I have delivered them into your hand.
7:10 But if you dread to go alone, let your servant Purah descend with you.
7:11 And when you will hear what they are saying, then your hands will be strengthened, and you will descend more confidently to the camp of the enemy.” Therefore, he descended with his servant Purah into a portion of the camp, where there was a watch of armed men.
7:12 But Midian, and Amalek, and all the eastern peoples lay spread out in the valley, like a multitude of locusts. Their camels, खूप, were innumerable, like the sand that lies on the shore of the sea.
7:13 And when Gideon had arrived, someone told his neighbor a dream. And he related what he had seen, या प्रकारे: “I saw a dream, and it seemed to me as if bread, baked under ashes from rolled barley, descended into the camp of Midian. And whenever it arrived at a tent, it struck it, and overturned it, and utterly leveled it to the ground.”
7:14 He to whom he spoke, प्रतिसाद दिला: “This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, a man of Israel. For the Lord has delivered Midian into his hands, with their entire camp.”
7:15 And when Gideon had heard the dream and its interpretation, he worshipped. And he returned to the camp of Israel, आणि तो म्हणाला: "उठून! For the Lord has delivered the camp of Midian into our hands.”
7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three parts. And he gave trumpets, and empty pitchers, and lamps for the middle of the pitchers, into their hands.
7:17 तो त्यांना म्हणाला: “What you will see me do, do the same. I will enter a portion of the camp, and what I do, you shall follow.
7:18 When the trumpet in my hand blares out, you also shall sound the trumpets, on every side of the camp, and shout together to the Lord and to Gideon.”
7:19 आणि गिदोन, and the three hundred men who were with him, entered a portion of the camp, at the beginning of the watch in the middle of the night. And when the guards were alerted, they began to sound the trumpets and to clap the pitchers against one another.
7:20 And when they had sounded their trumpets in three places around the camp, and had broken their water pitchers, they held the lamps in their left hands, and sounded the trumpets in their right hands. आणि ते ओरडले, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!"
7:21 And each one was standing in his place throughout the camp of the enemies. And so the entire camp was in confusion; and they fled away, wailing and crying out.
7:22 And the three hundred men nevertheless continued sounding the trumpets. And the Lord sent the sword into the entire camp, and they maimed and cut down one another,
7:23 fleeing as far as Bethshittah, and the base of Abelmeholah in Tabbath. But the men of Israel pursued Midian, shouting from Naphtali and Asher, and from all of Manasseh.
7:24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all of Mount Ephraim, म्हणत, “Descend to meet Midian, and occupy the waters ahead of them as far as Bethbarah and the Jordan.” And all of Ephraim cried out, and they occupied the waters ahead of them, from the Jordan even to Bethbarah.
7:25 And having apprehended two men of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, they put Oreb to death at the Rock of Oreb, and truly, Zeeb, at the Winepress of Zeeb. And they pursued Midian, carrying the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, across the waters of the Jordan.

8:1 And the men of Ephraim said to him, “What is this, that you wanted to do, so that you would not call us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they rebuked him strongly, and came close to using violence.
8:2 आणि त्याने त्यांना प्रतिसाद दिला: “But what could I have done that would be so great as what you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer?
8:3 The Lord has delivered into your hands the leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. What could I have done that would be so great as what you have done?” And when he had said this, their spirit, which was swelling up against him, was quieted.
8:4 And when Gideon had arrived at the Jordan, he crossed over it with the three hundred men who were with him. And they were so weary that they were unable to pursue those who were fleeing.
8:5 And he said to the men of Succoth, “मी तुला विनंती करतो, give bread to the people who are with me, for they are greatly weakened, so that we may be able to pursue Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
8:6 The leaders of Succoth answered, “Perhaps the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna are in your hand, and for this reason, you request that we give bread to your army.”
8:7 तो त्यांना म्हणाला, "मग त्यानंतर, when the Lord will have delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert.”
8:8 And going up from there, he arrived at Penuel. And he spoke to the men of that place similarly. And they also answered him, just as the men of Succoth had answered.
8:9 And so he said to them also, “When I will have returned as a victor in peace, I will destroy this tower.”
8:10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were resting with their entire army. For fifteen thousand men were left out of all the troops of the eastern people. And one hundred twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword had been cut down.
8:11 And Gideon ascended by the way of those who were dwelling in tents, to the eastern part of Nobah and Jogbehah. And he struck the camp of the enemies, who were confident and were suspecting nothing adverse.
8:12 And Zebah and Zalmunna fled. And Gideon pursued and overtook them, sending their entire army into confusion.
8:13 And returning from the war before sunrise,
8:14 he took a boy from among the men of Succoth. And he asked him the names of the leaders and elders of Succoth. And he described seventy-seven men.
8:15 And he went to Succoth, तो त्यांना म्हणाला: “Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, over whom you rebuked me, म्हणत: ‘Perhaps the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna are in your hands, and for this reason, you request that we give bread to men who are languishing and weakened.’ ”
8:16 त्यामुळे, he took the elders of the city, आणि, using the thorns and briers of the desert, he threshed them with these, and he cut the men of Succoth to pieces.
8:17 He also overturned the tower of Penuel, and he killed the men of the city.
8:18 And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were those whom you killed at Tabor?"त्यांनी प्रतिसाद दिला, “They were like you, and one of them was like the son of a king.”
8:19 He answered them: “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the Lord lives, if you had preserved them, I would not kill you.”
8:20 And he said to Jether, his firstborn son, "उठून, and put them to death.” But he did not draw his sword. कारण तो घाबरला होता, being still a boy.
8:21 And Zebah and Zalmunna said: “You should rise up and rush against us. For the strength of a man is in accord with his age.” Gideon rose up, and he killed Zebah and Zalmunna. And he took the ornaments and studs, with which the necks of the royal camels are usually adorned.
8:22 And all the men of Israel said to Gideon: “You should rule over us, and your son, and your son’s son. For you freed us from the hand of Midian.”
8:23 तो त्यांना म्हणाला: “I will not rule over you. Neither shall my son rule over you. त्याऐवजी, the Lord shall rule over you.”
8:24 तो त्यांना म्हणाला: “I petition one request from you. Give me the earrings from your spoils.” For the Ishmaelites were accustomed to wear gold earrings.
8:25 त्यांनी प्रतिसाद दिला, “We are very willing to give them.” And spreading a cloak on the ground, they cast upon it the earrings from the spoils.
8:26 And the weight of the earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, aside from the ornaments, and necklaces, and purple garments, which the kings of Midian were accustomed to use, and aside from the gold chains on the camels.
8:27 And Gideon made an ephod from these, and he kept it in his city, Ophrah. And all of Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gideon and to all his house.
8:28 But Midian was humbled before the sons of Israel. Neither were they able any longer to lift up their necks. But the land rested for forty years, while Gideon presided.
8:29 And so Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went and lived in his own house.
8:30 And he had seventy sons, who went forth from his own thigh. For he had many wives.
8:31 But his concubine, whom he had in Shechem, bore him a son named Abimelech.
8:32 आणि गिदोन, the son of Joash, died in a good old age, and he was buried in the sepulcher of his father, at Ophrah, of the family of Ezri.
8:33 But after Gideon died, the sons of Israel turned away, and they committed fornication with the Baals. And they struck a covenant with Baal, so that he would be their god.
8:34 And they did not remember the Lord their God, who rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on all sides.
8:35 Neither did they show mercy to the house of Jerubbaal Gideon, in accord with all the good that he had done for Israel.

9:1 Now Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem, to his maternal brothers, आणि तो त्यांच्याशी बोलला, and to all the relatives of the house of his maternal grandfather, म्हणत:
9:2 “Speak to all the men of Shechem: Which is better for you: that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And consider also that I am your bone and your flesh.”
9:3 And his maternal brothers spoke about him to all the men of Shechem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, म्हणत, “He is our brother.”
9:4 And they gave to him the weight of seventy silver coins from the shrine of Baal-berith. With this, he hired for himself indigent and wandering men, and they followed him.
9:5 And he went to his father’s house in Ophrah, and he killed his brothers, the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, upon one stone. And there remained only Joatham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, and he was in hiding.
9:6 तेव्हा शखेमची सर्व माणसे एकत्र जमली, आणि मिल्लो शहरातील सर्व कुटुंबे, त्यांनी जाऊन अबीमलेखाला राजा म्हणून नेमले, शखेम येथे उभ्या असलेल्या ओकच्या बाजूला.
9:7 ही गोष्ट जोथामला कळवली तेव्हा, तो गेला आणि गेरिजिम पर्वताच्या शिखरावर उभा राहिला. आणि आवाज उठवत, तो ओरडला आणि म्हणाला: "माझे ऐक, शखेमचे लोक, देवाने तुमचे ऐकावे म्हणून.
9:8 झाडे स्वतःवर राजाला अभिषेक करायला गेली. आणि ते जैतुनाच्या झाडाला म्हणाले, 'आमच्यावर राज्य कर.'
9:9 आणि प्रतिसाद दिला, ‘मी माझा लठ्ठपणा कसा सोडू शकतो, ज्याचा उपयोग देव आणि पुरुष दोघेही करतात, आणि झाडांमध्ये प्रचार करण्यासाठी निघाले?'
9:10 आणि झाडे अंजिराच्या झाडाला म्हणाली, 'या आणि आमच्यावर शाही सत्ता स्वीकारा.'
9:11 आणि त्यांना प्रतिसाद दिला, ‘मी माझा मीपणा कसा सोडू शकतो, आणि माझी खूप गोड फळे, आणि इतर झाडांमध्ये प्रमोशन करण्यासाठी निघाले?'
9:12 आणि झाडे वेलीला म्हणाली, 'ये आणि आमच्यावर राज्य कर.'
9:13 आणि त्यांना प्रतिसाद दिला, ‘मी माझी वाईन कशी सोडू शकेन, जे देव आणि माणसांना आनंद देते, आणि इतर झाडांमध्ये बढती द्या?'
9:14 आणि सर्व झाडे ब्रंबलला म्हणाली, 'ये आणि आमच्यावर राज्य कर.'
9:15 आणि त्यांना प्रतिसाद दिला: ‘तुम्ही मला खरोखरच राजा म्हणून नेमले तर, ये आणि माझ्या सावलीत विसावा घे. पण तुमची इच्छा नसेल तर, ब्रॅम्बलमधून आग निघू द्या, आणि ते लेबनॉनच्या देवदारांना गिळून टाका.’’
9:16 तर आता, if you are upright and without sin in appointing Abimelech as a king over you, and if you have acted well with Jerubbaal, and with his house, and if you have repaid, यामधून, the benefits of him who fought on your behalf,
9:17 and who gave his life to dangers, so that he might rescue you from the hand of Midian,
9:18 though you now have risen up against my father’s house, and have killed his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have appointed Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, as a king over the inhabitants of Shechem, since he is your brother,
9:19 if therefore you are upright and have acted without fault with Jerubbaal and his house, then you should rejoice on this day in Abimelech, and he should rejoice in you.
9:20 But if you have acted perversely, may fire go forth from him and consume the inhabitants of Shechem and the town of Millo. And may fire go forth from the men of Shechem and from the town of Millo, and devour Abimelech.”
9:21 आणि जेव्हा त्याने या गोष्टी सांगितल्या, he fled and went away to Beer. And he lived in that place, out of fear of Abimelech, त्याचा भाऊ.
9:22 And so Abimelech reigned over Israel for three years.
9:23 And the Lord put a very grievous spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Shechem, who began to detest him,
9:24 and to place blame for the crime of the killing of the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for the shedding of their blood, upon Abimelech, their brother, and upon the rest of the leaders of the Shechemites, who assisted him.
9:25 And they stationed an ambush against him at the summit of the mountains. And while they were waiting for his arrival, they committed robberies, taking spoils from those passing by. And this was reported to Abimelech.
9:26 Now Gaal, the son of Ebed, went with his brothers, and crossed over to Shechem. And the inhabitants of Shechem, uplifted by his arrival,
9:27 departed into the fields, laying waste to the vineyards, and trampling the grapes. And while singing and dancing, they entered into the shrine of their god. And while feasting and drinking, they cursed Abimelech.
9:28 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, cried out: “Who is Abimelech, and what is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, who has appointed Zebul, his servant, as ruler over the men of Hamor, शखेमचे वडील? Why then should we serve him?
9:29 I wish that someone would set this people under my hand, so that I might take away Abimelech from their midst.” And it was told to Abimelech, “Gather the multitude of an army, and approach.”
9:30 For Zebul, शहराचा शासक, upon hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Ebed, became very angry.
9:31 And he sent messengers secretly to Abimelech, म्हणत: “बघा, Gaal, the son of Ebed, has arrived at Shechem with his brothers, and he has set the city against you.
9:32 आणि म्हणून, rise up in the night, with the people who are with you, and lie hidden in the field.
9:33 And at first light in the morning, as the sun is rising, rush upon the city. And when he goes out against you, with his people, do to him what you are able to do.”
9:34 And so Abimelech rose up, with all his army, by night, and he set ambushes near Shechem in four places.
9:35 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and he stood at the entrance to the gate of the city. Then Abimelech rose up, and all the army with him, from the places of the ambushes.
9:36 And when Gaal had seen the people, he said to Zebul, “बघा, a multitude is descending from the mountains.” And he responded to him, “You are seeing the shadows of the mountains, as if they were the heads of men, and so you are being deceived by this error.”
9:37 पुन्हा, Gaal said, “बघा, a people is descending from the middle of the land, and one company is arriving by the way that looks towards the oak.”
9:38 And Zebul said to him: “Where is your mouth now, with which you said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the people that you were despising? Go out and fight against him.”
9:39 त्यामुळे, Gaal went out, with the people of Shechem watching, and he fought against Abimelech,
9:40 who pursued him, पळून जाणे, and drove him into the city. And many were cut down on his side, even to the gate of the city.
9:41 And Abimelech made camp at Arumah. But Zebul expelled Gaal and his companions from the city, and he would not permit them to remain in it.
9:42 त्यामुळे, दुसऱ्या दिवशी, the people departed into the field. And when this had been reported to Abimelech,
9:43 he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and he placed ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people had departed from the city, he rose up and rushed upon them,
9:44 along with his own company, assaulting and besieging the city. But the two other companies pursued the enemies scattered in the field.
9:45 Now Abimelech assaulted the city all that day. And he seized it, and he killed its inhabitants, and he destroyed it, so much so that he scattered salt in it.
9:46 And when those living in the tower of Shechem had heard about this, they entered the temple of their god, Berith, where they had formed a covenant with him. And it was because of this, that the place had taken its name. And it was greatly fortified.
9:47 अबीमेलेक, also hearing that the men of the tower of Shechem had joined together,
9:48 ascended to mount Zalmon, with all his people. And taking an axe, he cut down the branch of a tree. And laying it on his shoulder, and carrying it, he said to his companions, “What you see me do, you must do quickly.”
9:49 आणि म्हणून, eagerly cutting down branches from the trees, they followed their leader. And surrounding the fortified place, they set it on fire. आणि तसंच झालं, by smoke and fire, one thousand persons died, men and women together, the occupants of the tower of Shechem.
9:50 Then Abimelech, तिथून निघालो, arrived at the town of Thebez, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.
9:51 Now there was, in the midst of the city, a high tower, to which men and women were fleeing together, with all the leaders of the city. आणि, having very strongly sealed the gate, they were standing on the roof of the tower to defend themselves.
9:52 And Abimelech, drawing near the tower, fought valiantly. And approaching the gate, he strove to set it on fire.
9:53 आणि पाहा, one woman, throwing a fragment of a millstone from above, struck the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
9:54 And he quickly called to his armor bearer, आणि त्याला म्हणाला, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise it may be said that I was slain by a woman.” And, doing as he was ordered, त्याने त्याला मारले.
9:55 And when he was dead, all those of Israel who were with him returned to their homes.
9:56 And so did God repay the evil that Abimelech had done against his father by killing his seventy brothers.
9:57 The Shechemites also were given retribution for what they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, fell upon them.

10:10 And crying out to the Lord, ते म्हणाले: “We have sinned against you. For we have forsaken the Lord our God, and we have served the Baals.”
10:11 And the Lord said to them: “Did not the Egyptians, आणि अमोरी लोक, and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines,
10:12 and also the Sidonians, and Amalek, आणि कनान, oppress you, and so you cried out to me, and I rescued you from their hand?

10:14 जा, and call upon the gods whom you have chosen. Let them free you in the time of anguish.”
10:15 And the sons of Israel said to the Lord: “आम्ही पाप केले आहे. You may repay us in whatever way pleases you. Yet free us now.”
10:16 And saying these things, they cast out all the idols of the foreign gods from their regions, and they served the Lord God. And he was touched by their miseries.
10:17 And then the sons of Ammon, shouting out together, pitched their tents in Gilead. And the sons of Israel gathered together against them, and they made camp at Mizpah.

11:9 Jephthah also said to them: “If you have come to me so that I may fight for you against the sons of Ammon, and if the Lord will deliver them into my hands, will I truly be your leader?"
11:10 त्यांनी त्याला उत्तर दिले, “The Lord who hears these things is himself the Mediator and the Witness that we shall do what we have promised.”
11:11 And so Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead, and all the people made him their leader. And Jephthah spoke all his words, परमेश्वराच्या दृष्टीने, at Mizpah.
11:12 And he sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, who said on his behalf, "तुझ्यात आणि माझ्यात काय आहे, that you would approach against me, so that you might lay waste to my land?"
11:13 आणि त्याने त्यांना प्रतिसाद दिला, “It is because Israel took my land, when he ascended from Egypt, from the parts of Arnon, as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan. म्हणून आता, restore these to me with peace.”
11:14 And Jephthah again commissioned them, and he ordered them to say to the king of Ammon:
11:15 “Jephthah says this: Israel did not take the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon.
11:16 But when they ascended together from Egypt, he walked through the desert as far as the Red Sea, and he went into Kadesh.
11:17 And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, म्हणत, ‘Permit me to pass through your land.’ But he was not willing to agree to his petition. तसेच, he sent to the king of Moab, who also refused to offer him passage. And so he delayed in Kadesh,
11:18 and he circled around the side of the land of Edom and the land of Moab. And he arrived opposite the eastern region of the land of Moab. And he made camp across the Arnon. But he was not willing to enter the borders of Moab. (Of course, Arnon is the border of the land of Moab.)
11:19 And so Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who was living at Heshbon. ते त्याला म्हणाले, “Permit me to cross through your land as far as the river.”
11:20 पण तो, खूप, despising the words of Israel, would not permit him to cross through his borders. त्याऐवजी, gathering an innumerable multitude, he went out against him at Jahaz, and he resisted strongly.
11:21 But the Lord delivered him, with his entire army, into the hands of Israel. And he struck him down, and he possessed all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that region,
11:22 त्याच्या सर्व भागांसह, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
11:23 त्यामुळे, it was the Lord, इस्राएलचा देव, who overthrew the Amorites, by means of his people Israel fighting against them. And now you wish to possess his land?
11:24 Are not the things that your god Chemosh possesses owed to you by right? आणि म्हणून, what the Lord our God has obtained by victory falls to us as a possession.
11:25 Or are you, perhaps, better than Balak, जिप्पोरचा मुलगा, मवाबचा राजा? Or are you able to explain what his argument was against Israel, and why he fought against him?
11:26 And though he has lived in Heshbon, and its villages, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan for three hundred years, why have you, for such long a time, put forward nothing about this claim?
11:27 त्यामुळे, I am not sinning against you, but you are doing evil against me, by declaring an unjust war against me. May the Lord be the Judge and the Arbiter this day, between Israel and the sons of Ammon.”
11:28 But the king of the sons of Ammon was not willing to agree to the words of Jephthah that he commissioned by the messengers.
11:29 त्यामुळे, परमेश्वराचा आत्मा इफ्ताहवर विसावला, आणि गिलियडभोवती चक्कर मारली, आणि मनश्शे, आणि गिलादचा मिस्पा, आणि तेथून पार अम्मोनी लोकांकडे गेले,
11:30 त्याने परमेश्वराला नवस केला, म्हणत, “जर तू अम्मोनी लोकांना माझ्या हाती सोपवशील,
11:31 जो कोणी माझ्या घराच्या दारातून मला भेटायला निघून पहिला असेल, जेव्हा मी अम्मोनी लोकांकडून शांतीने परत येईन, तेच मी परमेश्वराला होलोकॉस्ट म्हणून अर्पण करीन.”
11:32 इफ्ताह पलीकडे अम्मोनी लोकांकडे गेला, जेणेकरून तो त्यांच्याशी लढू शकेल. आणि परमेश्वराने त्यांना त्याच्या हाती दिले.
11:33 त्याने त्यांना अरोएर येथून मारले, मिनिथच्या प्रवेशद्वारापर्यंत, वीस शहरे, आणि हाबेलपर्यंत, जे द्राक्षमळ्यांनी झाकलेले आहे, एक अत्यंत महान कत्तल मध्ये. आणि अम्मोनी वंशजांना इस्राएलच्या मुलांनी नम्र केले.
11:34 पण जेव्हा इफ्ताह मिस्पाला परतला, त्याच्या स्वतःच्या घराकडे, त्याची एकुलती एक मुलगी त्याला नाचत आणि नाचत भेटली. कारण त्याला दुसरी मुले नव्हती.
11:35 आणि तिला पाहताच, त्याने आपले कपडे फाडले, आणि तो म्हणाला: “अरे, माझी मुलगी! तुम्ही माझी फसवणूक केली आहे, आणि तुमची फसवणूक झाली आहे. कारण मी परमेश्वराला माझे तोंड उघडले आहे, आणि मी दुसरे काही करू शकत नाही."
11:36 आणि तिने त्याला उत्तर दिले, "माझे वडील, जर तुम्ही परमेश्वराला तोंड उघडले असेल, तू जे वचन दिले आहेस ते माझ्याशी कर, कारण तुम्हाला विजय मिळाला आहे, तसेच तुमच्या शत्रूंविरुद्ध सूड घेणे.
11:37 आणि ती तिच्या वडिलांना म्हणाली: “मला ही एक गोष्ट द्या, ज्याची मी विनंती करतो. मला परवानगी द्या, जेणेकरून मी दोन महिने टेकडीवर भटकावे, आणि मी माझ्या सोबत्यांसोबत माझ्या कौमार्यासाठी शोक करू शकेन.”
11:38 आणि त्याने तिला उत्तर दिले, "जा." आणि त्याने तिला दोन महिन्यांसाठी सोडले. आणि जेव्हा ती तिच्या मैत्रिणी आणि साथीदारांसह निघून गेली होती, टेकडीवर तिच्या कौमार्याबद्दल ती रडली.
11:39 आणि जेव्हा दोन महिन्यांची मुदत संपली, ती तिच्या वडिलांकडे परत आली, त्याने नवस केल्याप्रमाणे तिच्याशी केले, तिला कोणीही ओळखत नसले तरी. या, प्रथा इस्राएलमध्ये वाढली, आणि प्रथा जपली गेली आहे,
11:40 such that, after each year passes, the daughters of Israel convene as one, and they lament the daughter of Jephthah, गिलादाईट, for four days.

12:1 आणि पाहा, a sedition rose up in Ephraim. मग, while passing by toward the north, they said to Jephthah: “When you were going to fight against the sons of Ammon, why were you unwilling to summon us, so that we might go with you? त्यामुळे, we will burn down your house.”
12:2 आणि त्याने त्यांना उत्तर दिले: “I and my people were in a great conflict against the sons of Ammon. And I called you, so that you might offer assistance to me. And you were not willing to do so.
12:3 And discerning this, I put my life in my own hands, and I crossed to the sons of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What am I guilty of, that you would rise up in battle against me?"
12:4 आणि म्हणून, calling to himself all the men of Gilead, he fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck down Ephraim, because he had said, “Gilead is a fugitive from Ephraim, and he lives in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
12:5 And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, पळून जाणे, and had said, “I beg that you permit me to pass,” the Gileadites would say to him, “Could you be an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “I am not,"
12:6 they would ask him, then say ‘Shibboleth,’ which is translated as ‘ear of grain.’ But he would answer ‘Sibboleth,’ not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.
12:7 And so Jephthah, गिलादाईट, judged Israel for six years. आणि तो मेला, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.
12:8 त्याच्या नंतर, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
12:9 He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.
12:10 आणि तो मेला, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
12:11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.
12:12 आणि तो मेला, and he was buried in Zebulun.
12:13 त्याच्या नंतर, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
12:14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.
12:15 आणि तो मेला, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.

13:1 आणि पुन्हा, the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
13:2 Now there was a certain man from Zorah, and of the stock of Dan, whose name was Manoah, having a barren wife.
13:3 And an Angel of the Lord appeared to her, आणि तो म्हणाला: “You are barren and without children. But you shall conceive and bear a son.
13:4 त्यामुळे, take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. Neither shall you eat anything unclean.
13:5 For you shall conceive and bear a son, whose head no razor shall touch. For he shall be a Nazirite of God, from his infancy and from his mother’s womb. And he shall begin to free Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
13:6 And when she had gone to her husband, ती त्याला म्हणाली: “A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an Angel, exceedingly terrible. And when I had inquired of him, who he was, and where he was from, and what name he was called, he was not willing to tell me.
13:7 पण त्याने प्रतिसाद दिला: 'बघ, you shall conceive and bear a son. Take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. And you shall not consume anything unclean. For the boy shall be a Nazirite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb, even until the day of his death.’ ”
13:8 And so Manoah prayed to the Lord, आणि तो म्हणाला, “I beg you Lord, that the man of God, whom you sent, may come again, and may teach us what we ought to do about the boy who is to be born.”
13:9 And the Lord heeded the prayer of Manoah, and the Angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, sitting in a field. But her husband Manoah was not with her. And when she had seen the Angel,
13:10 she hurried and ran to her husband. And she reported to him, म्हणत, “बघा, the man appeared to me, whom I had seen before.”
13:11 And he rose up and followed his wife. And going to the man, तो त्याला म्हणाला, “Are you the one who spoke to my wife?"आणि त्याने प्रतिसाद दिला, "मी आहे."
13:12 And Manoah said to him: “When will your word be fulfilled. What do you want the boy to do? Or from what should he keep himself?"
13:13 And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah: “Concerning all the things about which I have spoken to your wife, she herself should abstain.
13:14 And let her eat nothing from the vine. She may not drink wine or strong drink. She may consume nothing unclean. And let her observe and keep what I have instructed to her.”
13:15 And Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “I beg you to agree to my petition, and to let us prepare a kid from the goats.”
13:16 And the Angel answered him: “Even if you compel me, I will not eat from your bread. But if you are willing to offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord.” And Manoah did not know that he was an Angel of the Lord.
13:17 तो त्याला म्हणाला, "तुझं नाव काय आहे, त्यामुळे, if your word is fulfilled, we may honor you?"
13:18 आणि त्याने त्याला उत्तर दिले, “माझं नाव का विचारतोस, which is a wonder?"
13:19 आणि म्हणून, Manoah took a kid from the goats, and libations, and he placed them upon a rock, as an offering to the Lord, who accomplishes wonders. Then he and his wife watched.
13:20 And when the flame of the altar ascended to heaven, the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. And when Manoah and his wife had seen this, they fell prone on the ground.
13:21 And the Angel of the Lord no longer appeared to them. आणि लगेच, Manoah understood him to be an Angel of the Lord.
13:22 And he said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, since we have seen God.”
13:23 And his wife answered him, “If the Lord wished to kill us, he would not have accepted the holocaust and the libations from our hands. He would not have revealed all these things to us, nor would he have told us the things that are in the future.”
13:24 And so she bore a son, and she called his name Samson. And the boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
13:25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

14:1 Then Samson descended to Timnah. And seeing there a woman from the daughters of the Philistines,
14:2 he went up, and he told his father and his mother, म्हणत: “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines. I ask that you take her to me as wife.”
14:3 And his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, so that you would be willing to take a wife from the Philistines, who are uncircumcised?” And Samson said to his father: “Take this woman to me. For she has pleased my eyes.”
14:4 Now his parents did not know that the matter was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time, the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
14:5 आणि म्हणून, Samson descended with his father and mother to Timnah. And when they had arrived at the vineyards of the town, he saw a young lion, savage and roaring, and it met him.
14:6 Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon Samson, and he tore apart the lion, like a young goat being torn into pieces, having nothing at all in his hand. And he was not willing to reveal this to his father and mother.
14:7 And he went down and spoke to the woman who had pleased his eyes.
14:8 And after some days, returning to marry her, he turned aside so that he might see the carcass of the lion. आणि पाहा, there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, with a honeycomb.
14:9 And when he had taken it in his hands, he ate it along the way. And arriving to his father and mother, he gave them a portion, and they also ate it. Yet he was not willing to reveal to them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
14:10 And so his father went down to the woman, and he made a feast for his son Samson. For so the young men were accustomed to do.
14:11 And when the citizens of that place had seen him, they presented to him thirty companions to be with him.
14:12 And Samson said to them: “I will propose to you a problem, जे, if you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.
14:13 But if you are not able to solve it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.” And they answered him, “Propose the problem, so that we may hear it.”
14:14 तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “Food went forth from that which eats, and sweetness went forth from that which is strong.” And they were unable to solve the proposition for three days.
14:15 And when the seventh day had arrived, they said to the wife of Samson: “Coax your husband, and persuade him to reveal to you what the proposition means. But if you are not willing to do so, we will burn you and your father’s house. Or have you called us to the wedding in order to despoil us?"
14:16 And she shed tears before Samson, and she complained, म्हणत: “You hate me, and you do not love me. That is why you do not want to explain to me the problem, which you have proposed to the sons of my people.” But he responded: “I was not willing to reveal it to my father and mother. आणि म्हणून, how can I reveal it to you?"
14:17 त्यामुळे, she wept before him during the seven days of the feast. And at length, सातव्या दिवशी, since she had been troubling him, he explained it. And immediately she revealed it to her countrymen.
14:18 आणि ते, सातव्या दिवशी, before the sun declined, त्याला म्हणाला: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have uncovered my proposition.”
14:19 And so the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and he descended to Ashkelon, and in that place he struck down thirty men. And taking away their garments, he gave them to those who had solved the problem. And being exceedingly angry, he went up to his father’s house.
14:20 Then his wife took as a husband one of his friends and wedding companions.

15:1 मग, after some time, when the days of the wheat harvest were near, Samson arrived, intending to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid from the goats. And when he wanted to enter her bedroom, as usual, her father prohibited him, म्हणत:
15:2 “I thought that you would hate her, and therefore I gave her to your friend. But she has a sister, who is younger and more beautiful than she is. And she may be a wife for you, instead of her.”
15:3 And Samson answered him: “From this day, there shall be no guilt for me against the Philistines. For I will do harm to you all.”
15:4 And he went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he joined them tail to tail. And he tied torches between the tails.
15:5 And setting these on fire, he released them, so that they might rush from place to place. And immediately they went into the grain fields of the Philistines, setting these on fire, both the grain that was already bound for carrying, and what was still standing on the stalk. These were completely burned up, so much so that the flame also consumed even the vineyards and the olive groves.
15:6 And the Philistines said, “Who has done this thing?” And it was said: “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another. He has done these things.” And the Philistines went up and burned the woman as well as her father.
15:7 And Samson said to them, “Even though you have done this, I will still fulfill vengeance against you, and then I will be quieted.”
15:8 And he struck them with a tremendous slaughter, so much so that, out of astonishment, they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And descending, he lived in a cave of the rock at Etam.
15:9 And so the Philistines, ascending into the land of Judah, made camp at the place which was later called Lehi, ते आहे, the Jawbone, where their army spread out.
15:10 And some from the tribe of Judah said to them, “Why have you ascended against us?"आणि त्यांनी प्रतिसाद दिला, “We have come to bind Samson, and to repay him for what he has done to us.”
15:11 Then three thousand men of Judah descended to the cave of the rock at Etam. And they said to Samson: “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? Why would you want to do this?” And he said to them, “As they have done to me, so I have done to them.”
15:12 ते त्याला म्हणाले, “We have come to bind you, and to deliver you into the hands of the Philistines.” And Samson said to them, “Swear and promise to me that you will not kill me.”
15:13 They said: “We will not kill you. But we will deliver you tied.” And they bound him with two new cords. And they took him from the rock at Etam.
15:14 And when he had arrived at the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines, shouting aloud, had met him, the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him. And just as flax is usually consumed by a hint of fire, so were the ties with which he was bound broken and released.
15:15 And finding a jawbone which was laying there, ते आहे, the jawbone of a donkey, snatching it up, he put to death a thousand men with it.
15:16 आणि तो म्हणाला, “With the jawbone of a donkey, with the jaw of the colt of a donkey, I have destroyed them, and I have struck down a thousand men.”
15:17 And when he had completed these words, singing, he threw the jawbone from his hand. And called the name of that place Ramath-Lehi, which is translated as ‘the elevation of the jawbone.’
15:18 And being very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord, आणि तो म्हणाला: “You have given, to the hand of your servant, this very great salvation and victory. But see that I am dying of thirst, and so I will fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.”
15:19 And so the Lord opened a large tooth in the jawbone of the donkey, and water went out from it. And having drank it, his spirit was revived, and he recovered his strength. या कारणास्तव, the name of that place was called ‘the Spring called forth from the jawbone,' अगदी आजच्या दिवसापर्यंत.
15:20 And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, वीस वर्षे.

16:1 He also went into Gaza. And there he saw a harlot woman, and he entered to her.
16:2 And when the Philistines had heard of this, and it had become well known among them, that Samson had entered the city, they surrounded him, placing guards at the gate of the city. And there they were keeping watch all night in silence, त्यामुळे, सकाळी, they might kill him as he was going out.
16:3 But Samson slept until the middle of the night, and rising up from there, he took both doors from the gate, with their posts and bars. And laying them upon his shoulders, he carried them to the top of the hill that looks toward Hebron.
16:4 या गोष्टींनंतर, he loved a woman who was living in the valley of Sorek. And she was called Delilah.
16:5 And the leaders of the Philistines went to her, आणि ते म्हणाले: “Deceive him, and learn from him wherein lies his great strength, and how we may be able to overcome him and to impose restraints on him. And if you will do this, each one of us will give you one thousand one hundred silver coins.”
16:6 त्यामुळे, Delilah said to Samson, "मला सांग, मी तुला विनवणी करतो, wherein lies your very great strength, and with what might you be bound, so that you could not break free?"
16:7 And Samson answered her, “If I will be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still damp, I will be weak like other men.”
16:8 And the princes of the Philistines brought to her seven cords, such as he had described. And she bound him with these.
16:9 आणि म्हणून, those hiding in ambush with her, in the bedroom, were expecting the end of the matter. And she cried out to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he broke the cords, as one would break a thread of flax, twisted for cutting and singed by fire. And so it was not known wherein lay his strength.
16:10 And Delilah said to him: “बघा, you have mocked me, and you have spoken a falsehood. But at least now, tell me with what you may be bound.”
16:11 आणि त्याने तिला उत्तर दिले, “If I will be bound with new cords, which have never been used, I will be weak and like other men.”
16:12 पुन्हा, Delilah tied him with these, आणि ती ओरडली, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For an ambush had been prepared in the bedroom. But he broke the bindings like the filaments of a web.
16:13 And Delilah spoke to him again: “How long will you deceive me and tell me falsehoods? Reveal with what you ought to be bound.” And Samson responded to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with a loom, and if you tie these around a spike and fix it to the ground, I will be weak.”
16:14 And when Delilah had done this, ती त्याला म्हणाली, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson.” And arising from sleep, he withdrew the spike with the hairs and the weaving.
16:15 And Delilah said to him: “How can you say that you love me, when your soul is not with me? You have lied to me on three occasions, and you are not willing to reveal wherein lies your very great strength.”
16:16 And when she had been very troublesome to him, and over many days had continually stayed nearby, giving him no time to rest, his soul was faint, and he was weary, अगदी मरेपर्यंत.
16:17 Then disclosing the truth of the matter, तो तिला म्हणाला: “Iron has never been drawn across my head, for I am a Nazirite, ते आहे, I have been consecrated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head will be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I will be faint and will be like other men.”
16:18 मग, seeing that he had confessed to her his whole soul, she sent to the leaders of the Philistines and ordered: “Come up just once more. For now he has opened his heart to me.” And they went up, taking with them the money that they had promised.
16:19 But she made him sleep upon her knees, and recline his head upon her bosom. And she called a barber, and he shaved his seven locks of hair. And she began to push him away, and to repel him from herself. For immediately his strength departed from him.
16:20 आणि ती म्हणाली, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind, “I will break away and shake myself free, just as I did before.” For he did not know that the Lord had withdrawn from him.
16:21 And when the Philistines had seized him, they immediately plucked out his eyes. And they led him, bound in chains, to Gaza. And enclosing him in a prison, they made him work a millstone.
16:22 And now his hair began to grow back.
16:23 And the leaders of the Philistines convened as one, so that they might offer great sacrifices to Dagon, their god. And they feasted, म्हणत, “Our god has delivered our enemy, Samson, into our hands.”
16:24 मग, खूप, the people, हे पाहून, praised their god, and they said the same, “Our god has delivered our adversary into our hands: the one who destroyed our land and who killed very many.”
16:25 And rejoicing in their celebration, having now taken food, they instructed that Samson be called, and that he be mocked before them. And having been brought from prison, he was mocked before them. And they caused him to stand between two pillars.
16:26 And he said to the boy who was guiding his steps, “Permit me to touch the pillars, which support the entire house, and to lean against them, so that I may rest a little.”
16:27 Now the house was full of men and women. And all the leaders of the Philistines were there, as well as about three thousand persons, of both sexes, on the roof and in the upper level of the house, who were watching Samson being mocked.
16:28 मग, calling upon the Lord, तो म्हणाला, “O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, so that I may avenge myself against my enemies, and so that I may receive one vengeance for the deprivation of my two eyes.”
16:29 And taking hold of both the pillars, on which the house rested, and holding one with his right hand and the other with his left,
16:30 तो म्हणाला, “May my life die with the Philistines.” And when he had shaken the pillars strongly, the house fell upon all the leaders, and the rest of the multitude who were there. And he killed many more in his death than he had killed before in his life.
16:31 Then his brothers and all his relatives, going down, took his body, and they buried it between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying place of his father, Manoah. And he judged Israel for twenty years.

17:1 In that time, there was a certain man, from mount Ephraim, named Micah.
17:2 And he said to his mother, “The one thousand one hundred silver coins, which you had separated for yourself, and about which you had sworn in my hearing, पाहा, I have them, and they are with me.” And she answered him, “My son has been blessed by the Lord.”
17:3 त्यामुळे, he restored them to his mother. आणि ती त्याला म्हणाली: “I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, so that my son would receive it from my hand, and would make a molten idol and a graven image. And now I deliver it to you.”

17:5 And he also separated in it a little shrine for the god. And he made an ephod and theraphim, ते आहे, a priestly garment and idols. And he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest.
17:6 त्या काळी, there was no king in Israel. त्याऐवजी, each one did what seemed right to himself.
17:7 तसेच, there was another young man, from Bethlehem of Judah, one of his relatives. And he himself was a Levite, and he was living there.
17:8 मग, departing from the city of Bethlehem, he wished to sojourn wherever he would find it beneficial to himself. And when he had arrived at mount Ephraim, while making the journey, he also turned aside for a little while to the house of Micah.
17:9 And he was asked by him where he came from. आणि त्याने प्रतिसाद दिला: “I am a Levite from Bethlehem of Judah. And I am traveling so that I may live where I am able, if I perceive it to be useful to me.”
17:10 And Micah said: “Stay with me. And you shall be to me like a parent and a priest. आणि मी तुला देईन, each year, ten silver coins, and a double-layered garment, and whatever provisions are necessary.”
17:11 He agreed, and he stayed with the man. And he was to him like one of his sons.
17:12 And Micah filled his hand, and he had the young man with him as his priest,
17:13 म्हणत: “Now I know that God will be good to me, since I have a priest from the stock of the Levites.”

18:1 त्या काळी, there was no king in Israel. And the tribe of Dan sought a possession for themselves, so that they might live in it. For even to that day, they had not received their lot among the other tribes.
18:2 त्यामुळे, the sons of Dan sent five very strong men, of their stock and family, from Zorah and Eshtaol, so that they might explore the land and diligently inspect it. ते त्यांना म्हणाले, “जा, and consider the land.” And after traveling, they arrived at mount Ephraim, and they entered into the house of Micah. There they rested.
18:3 And they recognized the speech of the youth who was a Levite. And while making use of an inn with him, ते त्याला म्हणाले: “Who brought you here? What are you doing here? For what reason did you want to come here?"
18:4 आणि त्याने त्यांना उत्तर दिले, “Micah has offered me one thing and another, and he has paid me wages, so that I may be his priest.”
18:5 Then they begged him to consult the Lord, so that they might be able to know whether the journey they undertook would be prosperous, and whether the matter would have success.
18:6 आणि त्याने त्यांना प्रतिसाद दिला, “Go in peace. The Lord looks with favor on your path, and on the journey that you have undertaken.”
18:7 And so the five men, going on, arrived at Laish. And they saw the people, living in it without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and peaceful, having hardly anyone to oppose them, and with great wealth, and living separately, far from Sidon and from all men.
18:8 And they returned to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, who questioned them as to what they had done. आणि त्यांनी प्रतिसाद दिला:
18:9 "उठून. Let us ascend to them. For we have seen that the land is very wealthy and fruitful. Do not delay; do not refrain. Let us go out and possess it. There will be no difficulty.
18:10 We shall enter to those who dwell securely, in a very wide region, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, a place in which there is no lack of anything that grows upon the earth.”
18:11 आणि म्हणून, those of the kindred of Dan set out, ते आहे, six hundred men from Zorah and Eshtaol, girded with the weapons of warfare.
18:12 And going up, they stayed at Kiriath-jearim of Judah. And so the place, from that time, received the name the Camp of Dan, and it is behind the back of Kiriath-jearim.
18:13 तिथुन, they crossed over to mount Ephraim. And when they had arrived at the house of Micah,
18:14 the five men, who before had been sent to consider the land of Laish, said to the rest of their brothers: “You know that in these houses there is an ephod and theraphim, and a molten idol and a graven image. Consider what it may please you to do.”
18:15 And when they had turned aside a little, they entered the house of the Levite youth, who was in the house of Micah. And they greeted him with peaceful words.
18:16 Now the six hundred men, who were all armed, were standing before the door.
18:17 But those who had entered the house of the youth strove to take away the graven image, आणि एफोद, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. But the priest was standing in front of the door, with the six hundred very strong men waiting not far away.
18:18 आणि म्हणून, those who had entered took away the graven image, the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. And the priest said to them, “काय करतोयस?"
18:19 And they responded to him: “Be silent and place your finger over your mouth. And come with us, so that we may have you as a father as well as a priest. For which is better for you: to be a priest in the house of one man, or in one tribe and family in Israel?"
18:20 And when he had heard this, he agreed to their words. And he took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven image, and he set out with them.
18:21 And while traveling, they had also sent the children, आणि गुरेढोरे, and all that was valuable to go ahead of them.
18:22 And when they were far from the house of Micah, the men who were living in the houses of Micah, crying out together, followed them.
18:23 And they began to shout behind their backs. And when they had looked back, they said to Micah: “तुला काय पाहिजे? Why are you crying out?"
18:24 आणि त्याने प्रतिसाद दिला: “You have taken away my gods, which I made for myself, and the priest, and all that I have. And do you say, ‘What is it that you want?’
18:25 And the sons of Dan said to him, “Take care that you no longer speak to us, otherwise men with a mind for violence may overwhelm you, and you yourself would perish with all your house.”
18:26 आणि म्हणून, they continued on the journey that they had begun. But Micah, seeing that they were stronger than he was, returned to his house.
18:27 Now the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we stated above, and they went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and they struck them down with the edge of the sword. And they burned the city with fire.
18:28 For no one at all sent reinforcements, because they lived far away from Sidon, and they had no association or business with any man. Now the city was situated in the region of Rehob. And building it up again, they lived in it,
18:29 calling the name of the city Dan, according to the name of their father, who had been born of Israel, though before it was called Laish.
18:30 And they established for themselves the graven image. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, with his sons, were priests in the tribe of Dan, even until the day of their captivity.
18:31 And the idol of Micah remained with them during the entire time that the house of God was in Shiloh. त्या काळी, there was no king in Israel.

19:1 There was a certain man, a Levite, living beside mount Ephraim, who took a wife from Bethlehem of Judah.
19:2 She left him, and she returned to the house of her father in Bethlehem. And she stayed with him for four months.
19:3 And her husband followed her, wishing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to lead her back with him. And he had with him a servant and two donkeys. And she received him, and brought him into the house of her father. And when his father-in-law had heard about this, and had seen him, he met him with joy.
19:4 And he embraced the man. And the son-in-law stayed in the house of his father-in-law for three days, eating and drinking with him in a friendly manner.
19:5 But on the fourth day, arising in the night, he intended to set out. But his father-in-law took hold of him, तो त्याला म्हणाला, “First taste a little bread, and strengthen your stomach, and then you shall set out.”
19:6 And they sat down together, त्यांनी खाल्ले आणि प्याले. And the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “I ask you to remain here today, so that we may rejoice together.”
19:7 But getting up, he intended to begin to set out. But nevertheless, his father-in-law pressed him resolutely, and made him remain with him.
19:8 But when morning came, the Levite was preparing for his journey. And his father-in-law said to him again, “I beg you to take a little food, and to be strengthened, until the daylight increases, आणि त्या नंतर, you shall set out.” Therefore, they ate together.
19:9 And the young man got up, so that he might travel with his wife and servant. And his father-in-law spoke to him again: “Consider that the daylight is declining, and it approaches toward evening. Remain with me also today, and spend the day in gladness. And tomorrow you shall set out, so that you may go to your own house.”
19:10 His son-in-law was not willing to agree to his words. त्याऐवजी, he immediately continued on, and he arrived opposite Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two donkeys carrying burdens, and his mate.
19:11 And now they were near Jebus, but day was turning into night. And the servant said to his lord, “ये, मी तुला विनवणी करतो, let us turn aside to the city of the Jebusites, so that we may find lodging in it.”
19:12 His lord responded to him: “I will not enter into the town of a foreign people, who are not of the sons of Israel. त्याऐवजी, I will cross over as far as Gibeah.
19:13 And when I will have arrived there, we will lodge in that place, or at least in the city of Ramah.”
19:14 त्यामुळे, they passed by Jebus, and continuing on, they undertook the journey. But the sun went down on them when they were near Gibeah, which is of the tribe of Benjamin.
19:15 And so they diverted to it, so that they might lodge there. And when they had entered, they were sitting in the street of the city. For no one was willing to give them hospitality.
19:16 आणि पाहा, they saw an old man, returning from the field and from his work in the evening, and he was also from mount Ephraim, and he was living as a stranger in Gibeah. For the men of that region were of the sons of Benjamin.
19:17 And the old man, डोळे वर करून, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city. तो त्याला म्हणाला: “Where have you come from? And where are you going?"
19:18 He answered him: “We set out from Bethlehem of Judah, and we are traveling to our own place, which is beside mount Ephraim. From there we went to Bethlehem, and now we go to the house of God. But no one is willing to receive us under his roof.
19:19 We have straw and hay as fodder for the donkeys, and we have bread and wine for the use of myself, and for your handmaid and the servant who is with me. We lack nothing except lodging.”
19:20 And the old man responded to him: “तुझ्याबरोबर शांती असो. I will provide all that is necessary. Only, मी तुला विनवणी करतो, do not stay in the street.”
19:21 And he led him into his house, and he gave fodder to his donkeys. And after they had washed their feet, he received them with a banquet.
19:22 And while they were feasting, and were refreshing their bodies with food and drink after the labor of the journey, the men of that city, बेलियालचे मुलगे (ते आहे, without yoke), came and surrounded the old man’s house. And they began to knock at the door, calling out to the lord of the house, आणि म्हणत, “Bring out the man who entered your house, so that we may abuse him.”
19:23 And the old man went out to them, आणि तो म्हणाला: “Do not choose, भाऊ, do not choose to do this evil. For this man has entered to my hospitality. And you must cease from this senselessness.
19:24 I have a virgin daughter, and this man has a mate. I will lead them out to you, so that you may debase them and may satisfy your lust. Only, मी तुला विनवणी करतो, do not commit this crime against nature on the man.”
19:25 But they were not willing to agree to his words. So the man, discerning this, led out his mate to them, and he delivered her to their sexual abuse. And when they had abused her for the entire night, they released her in the morning.
19:26 पण स्त्री, as darkness was receding, came to the door of the house, where her lord was staying, and there she fell down.
19:27 When morning came, the man arose, and he opened the door, so that he might complete the journey that he had begun. आणि पाहा, his mate was lying before the door, with her hands reaching out to the threshold.
19:28 आणि तो, thinking that she was resting, तिला म्हणाला, “Get up, and let us walk.” But since she gave no response, realizing that she had died, he took her up, and he laid her on his donkey, and he returned to his house.
19:29 आणि जेव्हा तो आला होता, he took up a sword, and he cut into pieces the dead body of his wife, with her bones, into twelve parts. And he sent the pieces into all the parts of Israel.
19:30 And when each one had seen this, they were crying out together, “Never has such a thing been done in Israel, from the day that our fathers ascended from Egypt, अगदी सध्याच्या काळापर्यंत. Let a sentence be brought and let us decide in common what ought to be done.”

20:1 And so all the sons of Israel went out like one man, from Dan to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, and they gathered together, before the Lord, at Mizpah.
20:2 And all the chiefs of the people, and every tribe of Israel, convened as an assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers for battle.
20:3 (But it was not hidden from the sons of Benjamin that the sons of Israel had ascended to Mizpah.) And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was killed, being questioned as to how so great a crime had been perpetrated,
20:4 प्रतिसाद दिला: “I went to Gibeah of Benjamin, with my wife, and I diverted to that place.
20:5 आणि पाहा, the men of that city, at night, surrounded the house in which I was staying, intending to kill me. And they abused my wife with such an incredible fury of lust that in the end she died.
20:6 And taking her up, I cut her into pieces, and I sent the parts into all the borders of your possession. For never before was such a nefarious crime, and so great a sin, committed in Israel.
20:7 You are all present here, O sons of Israel. Discern what you ought to do.”
20:8 आणि सर्व लोक, standing, responded as if with the word of one man: “We shall not return to our own tents, nor shall anyone enter into his own house.
20:9 But this we shall do in common against Gibeah:
20:10 We shall select ten men out of one hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred out of one thousand, and one thousand out of ten thousand, so that they may transport supplies for the army, and so that we will be able to fight against Gibeah of Benjamin, and to repay it for its crime as it deserves.”
20:11 And all of Israel convened against the city, एका माणसासारखा, with one mind and one counsel.
20:12 And they sent messengers to the entire tribe of Benjamin, कोण म्हणाले: “Why has so great a wickedness been found among you?
20:13 Deliver the men of Gibeah, who have perpetrated this deplorable act, so that they may die, and so that the evil may be taken away from Israel.” And they were not willing to listen to the command of their brothers, इस्राएलचे मुलगे.
20:14 त्याऐवजी, out of all the cities that were their lot, they convened at Gibeah, so that they might bring them assistance, and so that they might contend against the entire people of Israel.
20:15 And there were found from Benjamin twenty-five thousand who drew the sword, aside from the inhabitants of Gibeah,
20:16 who were seven hundred very strong men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right hand, and casting stones from a sling so accurately that they were able to strike even a hair, and the path of the stone would by no means miss to either side.
20:17 Then too, among the men of Israel apart from the sons of Benjamin, there were found four hundred thousand who drew the sword and who were prepared for battle.
20:18 And they rose up and went to the house of God, ते आहे, to Shiloh. And they consulted God, आणि ते म्हणाले, “Who shall be, in our army, the first to contend against the sons of Benjamin?” And the Lord responded to them, “Let Judah be your leader.”
20:19 And immediately the sons of Israel, सकाळी उठणे, made camp near Gibeah.
20:20 And setting out from there to fight against Benjamin, they began to assault the city.
20:21 And the sons of Benjamin, departing from Gibeah, slew twenty-two thousand men from the sons of Israel, त्या दिवशी.
20:22 Again the sons of Israel, trusting in both strength and number, set their troops in order, in the same place where they had contended before.
20:23 But first they also went up and wept before the Lord, even until night. And they consulted him and said, “Should I continue to go forth, so as to contend against the sons of Benjamin, माझे भाऊ, किंवा नाही?” And he responded to them, “Ascend against them, and undertake the struggle.”
20:24 And when the sons of Israel had continued to do battle against the sons of Benjamin on the next day,
20:25 the sons of Benjamin burst forth from the gates of Gibeah. And meeting them, they made such a frenzied slaughter against them that they struck down eighteen thousand men who drew the sword.
20:26 परिणामी, all the sons of Israel went to the house of God, and sitting down, they wept before the Lord. And they fasted that day until evening, and they offered to him holocausts and victims of peace offerings.
20:27 And they inquired about their state. त्या वेळी, the ark of the covenant of the Lord was in that place.
20:28 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, अहरोनचा मुलगा, was the first ruler of the house. आणि म्हणून, they consulted the Lord, आणि ते म्हणाले, “Should we continue to go forth in battle against the sons of Benjamin, our brothers, किंवा आपण थांबावे?” And the Lord said to them: “चढ. For tomorrow, I will deliver them into your hands.”
20:29 And the sons of Israel stationed ambushes around the city of Gibeah.
20:30 And they brought out their army against Benjamin a third time, just as they had done on the first and second times.
20:31 But the sons of Benjamin again burst forth boldly from the city. And since their enemies were fleeing, they pursued them a long way, so that they might wound or kill some of them, just as they had done on the first and second days. And they turned their backs along two paths, one bringing them toward Bethel, and the other toward Gibeah. And they struck down about thirty men.
20:32 For they thought that they were falling back as they had done before. But instead, skillfully feigning flight, they undertook a plan to draw them away from the city, and by seeming to flee, to lead them along the above stated paths.
20:33 And so all the sons of Israel, rising up from their positions, set their troops in order, in the place which is called Baaltamar. तसेच, the ambushes that encircled the city began, little by little, to reveal themselves,
20:34 and to advance upon the western part of the city. शिवाय, another ten thousand men from all of Israel were provoking a conflict with the inhabitants of the city. And the war grew heavy against the sons of Benjamin. And they did not realize that, on all sides of them, death was imminent.
20:35 And the Lord struck them down in the sight of the sons of Israel, and they put to death, त्या दिवशी, twenty-five thousand of them, along with one hundred men, all warriors and those who drew the sword.
20:36 But the sons of Benjamin, when they had seen themselves to be the weaker, began to flee. And the sons of Israel discerning this, gave them room to flee, so that they might arrive at the ambushes that were prepared, which they had positioned near the city.
20:37 And after they had risen up suddenly from hiding, and those of Benjamin had turned their backs to those who cut them down, they entered the city, and they struck it with the edge of the sword.
20:38 Now the sons of Israel had given a sign to those whom they had stationed in ambushes, त्यामुळे, after they had seized the city, they would light a fire, and by the smoke ascending on high, they would show that the city was captured.
20:39 आणि मग, the sons of Israel discerned this sign during the battle (for the sons of Benjamin had thought that they fled, and they pursued them forcefully, cutting down thirty men from their army).
20:40 And they saw something like a pillar of smoke ascending from the city. तसेच, बेंजामिन, looking back, discerned that the city was captured, for the flames were being carried on high.
20:41 And those who before had pretended to flee, turning their faces, withstood them more strongly. And when the sons of Benjamin had seen this, they turned their backs in flight,
20:42 and they began to go toward the way of the desert, with the adversary pursuing them to that place also. शिवाय, those who had set fire to the city also met them.
20:43 And so it happened that they were cut down on both sides by the enemies, nor was there any respite for the dying. They were killed and struck down on the eastern side of the city of Gibeah.
20:44 Now those who were put to death in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all very robust fighters.
20:45 And when those who remained of Benjamin had seen this, they fled into the wilderness. And they were traveling toward the rock which is called Rimmon. In that flight also, among those who were scattering in different directions, they slew five thousand men. And though they scattered all the more, they continued to pursue them, and then they put to death another two thousand.
20:46 And so it happened that all of those who were slain from Benjamin, in various places, were twenty-five thousand fighters, very willing to go to war.
20:47 And so there remained from the entire number of Benjamin six hundred men who were able to escape and to flee into the wilderness. And they settled at the rock of Rimmon, for four months.
20:48 But the sons of Israel, परत येत आहे, had struck with the sword all that remained in the city, from men even to cattle. And all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.

21:1 The sons of Israel had also taken an oath at Mizpah, आणि ते म्हणाले, “None of us shall give his daughters as a wife to the sons of Benjamin.”
21:2 And they all went to the house of God at Shiloh. And sitting in his sight until evening, they lifted up their voice, and they began to weep, with a great wailing, म्हणत,
21:3 "का, हे परमेश्वरा, इस्राएलचा देव, has this evil happened among your people, so that this day one tribe would be taken away from us?"
21:4 मग, rising at first light on the next day, they built an altar. And they offered holocausts and victims of peace offerings there, आणि ते म्हणाले,
21:5 "WHO, इस्राएलच्या सर्व वंशांपैकी, did not ascend with the army of the Lord?” For they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were at Mizpah, that whoever was not present would be slain.
21:6 आणि इस्राएलचे मुलगे, having been led to repentance over their brother Benjamin, began to say: “One tribe has been taken away from Israel.
21:7 From where shall they receive wives? For we have all sworn in common that we will not give our daughters to them.”
21:8 या कारणास्तव, ते म्हणाले, “Who is there, इस्राएलच्या सर्व वंशांपैकी, that did not ascend to the Lord at Mizpah?” And behold, the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead were found not to have been among that army.
21:9 (तसेच, in the time when they had been at Shiloh, not one of them was found to be there.)
21:10 And so they sent ten thousand very robust men, and they instructed them, म्हणत, “Go and strike down the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the sword, including their wives and little ones.”
21:11 And this shall be what you ought to do: “Everyone of the male gender, as well as all the women who have known men, मृत्युदंड दिला जाईल. But the virgins you shall reserve.”
21:12 And four hundred virgins, who had not known the bed of a man, were found from Jabesh-Gilead. And they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, कनान देशात.
21:13 And they sent messengers to the sons of Benjamin, who were at the rock of Rimmon, and they instructed them, so that they would receive them in peace.
21:14 And the sons of Benjamin went, त्या वेळी, and wives were given to them from the daughters of Jabesh-Gilead. But others were not found, whom they might give in a similar manner.
21:15 And all of Israel was very saddened, and they did penance for destroying one tribe out of Israel.
21:16 And those greater by birth said: “What shall we do with the remainder, those who have not received wives? For all the females of Benjamin have been cut down,
21:17 and we must take great care, and make provision with a very great diligence, so that one tribe may not be wiped away from Israel.
21:18 As for our own daughters, we are not able to give them, being bound by an oath and a curse, when we said, ‘Accursed is he who will give any of his daughters to Benjamin as a wife.’ ”
21:19 And they took counsel, आणि ते म्हणाले, “बघा, there is a yearly solemnity of the Lord at Shiloh, which is situated to the north of the city of Bethel, and on the eastern side of the way that one takes from Bethel to Shechem, and to the south of the town of Lebonah.”
21:20 And they instructed the sons of Benjamin, आणि ते म्हणाले: “जा, and hide in the vineyards.
21:21 And when you will have seen daughters of Shiloh being led out to dance, प्रथेनुसार, go forth suddenly from the vineyards, and let each one seize one wife from among them, and travel into the land of Benjamin.
21:22 And when their fathers and brothers arrive, and they begin to complain against you and to argue, we will say to them: ‘Take pity on them. For they have not seized them by right of war or conquest. त्याऐवजी, begging to receive them, you did not give them, and so the sin was on your part.’ ”
21:23 And so the sons of Benjamin did just as they had been ordered. And according to their number, they seized for themselves one wife each, out of those who were led out dancing. And they went into their own possession, and they built up their cities, and they lived in them.
21:24 The sons of Israel also returned, according to their tribes and families, to their tents. त्या काळी, there was no king in Israel. त्याऐवजी, each one did what seemed right to himself.
