Judges 2
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଦୂତ ଗିଲ୍ଗଲ୍ର ନଗରରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବୋଖୀମକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଲେ। ଏହି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଦୂତଙ୍କ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲବାସୀଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିମ୍ନଲିଖିତ ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ଦେଲେ, ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମିଶରରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣିଲି। ମୁ ଯେଉଁ ଭୂମି ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦଲେି, ତାହା ମୁ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଶପଥ କରିଥିଲି। ମୁ କହିଲିକ ଯେ, ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କଦାପି କୌଣସି ସମୟରେ ଲଙ୍ଘନ କରିବି ନାହିଁ।
2 କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହାର ପ୍ରତି ବଦଳ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସହେି ଦେଶ ରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ କୌଣସି ନିଯମ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନକ୍ସ୍ଟହଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ୟଜ୍ଞଦବେୀ ସବୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପକାଇବ। ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହିଲି, କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କୌଣସି କର୍ଣର୍ଣପାତ କଲନାହିଁ।
3 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଏହିକଥା କହକ୍ସ୍ଟଛି, 'ମୁ କବେେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ଦେଶରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବିତାଡିତ କରିବି ନାହିଁ। ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏକ ସମସ୍ଯା ହବେେ। ସମାନେେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତି ଫାନ୍ଦ ସ୍ବରୂପ ହବେେ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଦବେତାଗଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ କଣ୍ଟା ସ୍ବରୂପ ହବେେ।'
4 ଯେତବେେଳେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଦୂତ ଏହିକଥା ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲବାସୀଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ବର ରେ ରୋଦନ କଲେ।
5 ତେଣୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ସ୍ଥାନର ନାମ ରଖିଲେ ବୋଖୀମ୍। ଏହି ବୋଖୀମଠା ରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ବାସୀମାନେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ସଠାେରେ ବଳିଦାନ କଲେ।
6 ଏହାପରେ ୟିହୋଶୂଯ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟିବା ପାଇଁ କହିଲେ। ଏବଂ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ନିଜ ଭୂମି ଅଧିକାର କରିବାକୁ ନିଜ ଜାଗାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲେ।
7 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ଯିହାଶୂେୟ ବଞ୍ଚିଥିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ସବୋ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସବୋ ଅବ୍ଯାହତ ରଖିଲେ, ଯିହାଶୂେୟଙ୍କ ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯପରେ ଥିବା ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପ୍ରାଚୀନବର୍ଗ ଜୀବିତ ଥିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କର୍ମମାନ କରିଥିଲେ, ଏହି ବୃଦ୍ଧ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିମାନେ ଦେଖିଥିଲେ।
8 ନୂନର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଯିହାଶୂେୟ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ସବେକ 110 ବର୍ଷ ରେ ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯ ବରଣ କଲେ।
9 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ଯିହାଶୂେୟଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କବର ଦେଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଗାଶ ପର୍ବତର ଉତ୍ତର ପାଶର୍ବ ରେ ଇଫ୍ରଯିମ ପର୍ବତମଯ ଦେଶସ୍ଥ ତିମ୍ନତ୍ ହରେସ ରେ ତାଙ୍କର ନିଜର ଭୂମିରେ ତାଙ୍କୁ କବର ଦେଲେ।
10 ଏହାପରେ ପୂରା ପିଢି ମୃତ ହେଲା ଏବଂ ପର ପିଢି ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାରୀ ହେଲେ। ଏହି ନୂତନ ବଂଶଧର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣି ନ ଥିଲେ ଏମିତିକି ସମାନେେ ଜାଣିଲେ ନାହିଁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର କ'ଣ ସେ କଲେ।
11 ଏହାପରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ଯାହା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ରେ ମନ୍ଦ ସହେିପରି କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କଲେ। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ମିଥ୍ଯାବାଦୀ ବାଲ୍- ଦବେତାଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କଲେ।
12 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମିଶରରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣିଥିଲେ। ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ସବୋ କରୁଥିଲେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହାପରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ମିଥ୍ଯାବାଦୀ ଦବେତାଙ୍କୁ ସବୋ କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଚତଃପାଶର୍ବ ରେ ରହକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲେ। ଏହା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର କୋରଧ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କଲା।
13 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲବାସୀମାନେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ତ୍ଯାଗ କଲେ ଏବଂ ମିଥ୍ଯାବାଦୀ ବାଲ୍ଦବେ ଓ ଅଷ୍ଟାରୋତ ଦବେତାଗଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପୂଜା କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
14 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଉପରେ କୋପଦୃଷ୍ଟି ପକାଇଲେ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଲକ୍ସ୍ଟସ୍ଖନକାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଆକ୍ରମଣ ପାଇଁ ଆଦେଶ ଦେଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲକ୍ସ୍ଟସ୍ଖନ କଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଚତକ୍ସ୍ଟଃପାଶର୍ବ ରେ ଥିବା ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କଲେ, ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ହରାଇବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ତେଣୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କ ବିରକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିଜକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ରକ୍ଷା କରିପାରିଲେ ନାହିଁ।
15 ଯେତବେେଳେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲବାସୀମାନେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବାହାରିଲେ, ସେତବେେଳେ ସମାନେେ ପରାସ୍ତ ହେଲେ। ଯେପରି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଶର୍ବ ରେ ନ ଥିଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସତର୍କ କରାଇ ଦେଲେ ଯଦି ସମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କ ଚତକ୍ସ୍ଟଃପାଶର୍ବ ରେ ଥିବା ଦବେତାମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କରନ୍ତି, ତବେେ ସମାନେେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ରେ ହାରିବେ। ଅତଯବ, ଲୋକମାନେ ଅତିଶଯ ଅସକ୍ସ୍ଟବିଧା ଭୋଗ କଲେ।
16 ଏହାପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ବିଗ୍ଭରକର୍ତ୍ତାଗଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ ନିୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କଲେ। ଏବଂ ସହେି ବିଗ୍ଭରକର୍ତ୍ତାଗଣ, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଧନସଐତ୍ତି ଯେଉଁମାନେ ନଇେଥିଲେ, ସହେି ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କ ହାତରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଉଧାର କଲେ।
17 କିନ୍ତୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବିଗ୍ଭର କର୍ତ୍ତାଗଣଙ୍କ କଥାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶୁଣିଲେ ନାହିଁ। ମାତ୍ର ସମାନେେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଦବେତାଗଣଙ୍କ ପଛ ରେ ବେଶ୍ଯାପରି ଗଲେ ଓ ପ୍ରଣାମ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞାପାଳନ କଲେ ନାହିଁ, ଯେପରି ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷମାନେ କରୁଥିଲେ, ତାହା ବଦଳ ରେ ସମାନେେ ସେ ପଥରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶୀଘ୍ର ବିମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ହେଲେ।
18 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଜଣେ ବିଗ୍ଭରକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବାଛିଲେ, ସେ ତାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଥିଲେ ଓ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ବିଗ୍ଭରକର୍ତ୍ତାର ଜୀବନକାଳ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ରକ୍ଷା କଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପ୍ରତି ସଦଯ ହେଲେ, ଯେପରି ସମାନେେ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଃଖ ଓ ତାଡନା ରେ ଆସକ୍ତ ଥିଲେ।
19 କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହାପରେ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ବିଗ୍ଭରକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କ ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯପରେ, ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣିଥରେ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟର୍ନୀତିଗ୍ରସ୍ଥ ହେଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅତି ମନ୍ଦ ବ୍ଯବହାର କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ମିଥ୍ଯାବାଦୀ ଦବେତାଙ୍କୁ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କଲେ ଓ ପୂଜା ଆରଧନା କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ମନ୍ଦ ବିଗ୍ଭର କିମ୍ବା ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଜିଦିଖୋର ବଦଳାଇଲେ ନାହିଁ।
20 ତେଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲବାସୀମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ କ୍ଷକ୍ସ୍ଟବ୍ଧ ହେଲେ। ଏବଂ ସେ କହିଲେ, ମୁ ଯେଉଁ ନିଯମ ତାଙ୍କ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ସହିତ କରିଥିଲି, ଏହା ଜାତି ତାହା ଉଲଙ୍ଘନ କରିଛି। ସମାନେେ ମାରେ କଥା ଶୁଣିଲେ ନାହିଁ।
21 ତେଣୁ ଯିହାଶୂେୟଙ୍କ ମରଣ କାଳ ରେ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଠ ଭୂମିକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମୁ ଆଉ କବେେ କୌଣସି ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତଡିବି ନାହିଁ।
22 ମୁ ଏହି ଜାତି ଦ୍ବାରା ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରିବି, ଦେଖ, ୟଦ,ି ସମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞା ମାନିବେ, ଯମେିତି ତାଙ୍କର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷମାନେ କରିଥିଲେ।
23 ତେଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସହେି ଜାତିକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଭୂମିରେ ରହିବା ପାଇଁ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟମତି ଦେଲେ। ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଜବରଦସ୍ତ ଶିଘ୍ର ଦେଶ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କଲେ ନାହିଁ, ଅଥବା ଯିହାଶୂେୟଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
1 And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.
6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:
12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.
13 And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Nevertheless the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the Lord; but they did not so.
18 And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
22 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 சிறுமைப்பட்டவன்மேல் சிந்தையுள்ளவன் பாக்கியவான்; தீங்குநாளில் கர்த்தர் அவனை விடுவிப்பார்.
Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 கர்த்தர் அவனைப் பாதுகாத்து அவனை உயிரோடே வைப்பார்; பூமியில் அவன் பாக்கியவானாயிருப்பான்; அவன் சத்துருக்களின் இஷ்டத்திற்கு நீர் அவனை ஒப்புக்கொடீர்.
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 படுக்கையின்மேல் வியாதியாய்க்கிடக்கிற அவனைக் கர்த்தர் தாங்குவார்; அவனுடைய வியாதியிலே அவன் படுக்கை முழுவதையும் மாற்றிப்போடுவீர்.
The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4 கர்த்தாவே, என்மேல் இரக்கமாயிரும்; உமக்கு விரோதமாய்ப் பாவஞ்செய்தேன், என் ஆத்துமாவைக் குணமாக்கும் என்று நான் சொன்னேன்.
I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 அவன் எப்பொழுது சாவான், அவன் பேர் எப்பொழுது அழியும்? என்று என் சத்துருக்கள் எனக்கு விரோதமாய்ச் சொல்லுகிறார்கள்.
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 ஒருவன் என்னைப் பார்க்கவந்தால் வஞ்சனையாய்ப் பேசுகிறான்; அவன் தன் இருதயத்தில் அக்கிரமத்தைச் சேகரித்துக்கொண்டு, தெருவிலேபோய், அதைத் தூற்றுகிறான்.
And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7 என் பகைஞரெல்லாரும் என்மேலே ஏகமாய் முணுமுணுத்து, எனக்கு விரோதமாயிருந்து எனக்குப் பொல்லாங்கு நினைத்து,
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 தீராவியாதி அவனைப் பிடித்துக்கொண்டது; படுக்கையில் கிடக்கிற அவன் இனி எழுந்திருப்பதில்லை என்கிறார்கள்.
An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 என் பிராணசிநேகிதனும், நான் நம்பினவனும், என் அப்பம் புசித்தவனுமாகிய மனுஷனும், என்மேல் தன் குதிகாலைத் தூக்கினான்.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 கர்த்தாவே, நீர் எனக்கு இரங்கி, நான் அவர்களுக்குச் சரிக்கட்ட என்னை எழுந்திருக்கப்பண்ணும்.
But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 என் சத்துரு என்மேல் ஜெயங்கொள்ளாததினால், நீர் என்மேல் பிரியமாயிருக்கிறீரென்று அறிவேன்.
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 நீர் என் உத்தமத்திலே என்னைத்தாங்கி, என்றென்றைக்கும் உம்முடைய சமுகத்தில் என்னை நிலைநிறுத்துவீர்.
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 இஸ்ரவேலின் தேவனாகிய கர்த்தர் அநாதியாய் என்றென்றைக்குமுள்ள சதாகாலங்களிலும் ஸ்தோத்திரிக்கப்படத்தக்கவர். ஆமென், ஆமென்.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
