ବିଚାରକର୍ତାମାନଙ୍କ ବିବରଣ 9:7-21

7 And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.

8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.

11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?

12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.

13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.

15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;

17 (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:

18 And ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)

19 If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:

20 But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.

21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.

And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.

8 ଏକ ସମୟରେ ବୃକ୍ଷସବୁ ନିଜ ଉପରେ ରାଜା ଅଭିଷକେ କରିବାକୁ ଗଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଜିତ ବୃକ୍ଷକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ରାଜତ୍ବ କର।
The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

9 ମାତ୍ର ବୃକ୍ଷ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ମୂଲ୍ଯବାନ୍ ତଲେ ଦ୍ବାରା ମନକ୍ସ୍ଟଷ୍ଯ ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସମ୍ମାନିତ ହକ୍ସ୍ଟଅନ୍ତି। ମୁ କ'ଣ ବୃକ୍ଷମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏଣେ ତଣେେ ୟାଇ ମାରେମୂଲ୍ଯବାନ୍ ତଲେ ଦବୋକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବନ୍ଦ କରି ଦବେି?
But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

10 ତେଣୁ ବୃକ୍ଷମାନେ ଡିମ୍ବିରି ବୃକ୍ଷକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆସ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ରାଜତ୍ବ କର।
And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.

11 କିନ୍ତୁ ଡିମ୍ବିରି ବୃକ୍ଷ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଲୋ, କବଳେ ଅନ୍ୟ ବୃକ୍ଷମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଶାସନ କରିବାକୁ, ମୁ ମାରେ ଉତ୍ତମ ସ୍ବାଦିଷ୍ଟ ଫଳ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କରିବା ବନ୍ଦ କରି ଦବେି କି?
But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?

12 ଏହାପରେ ବୃକ୍ଷମାନେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାଲତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆସ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଉପରେ ରାଜତ୍ବ କର।
Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.

13 କିନ୍ତୁ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାଲତା ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଉତ୍ତର ରେ କହିଲା, କବଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଶାସନ କରିବାକୁ ମୁ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କରିବା ବନ୍ଦ କରି ଦବେି କି?, ଯେଉଁଗକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ଦବେତାଗଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଖକ୍ସ୍ଟସି କରେ?
And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

14 ଶଷେ ରେ ସମସ୍ତ ବୃକ୍ଷ କଣ୍ଟକ ବୃକ୍ଷକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଆସ ଆମ ଉପରେ ରାଜତ୍ବ କର।
Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.

15 କିନ୍ତୁ କଣ୍ଟକ ବୃକ୍ଷ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲା, ବାସ୍ତବ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଯଦି ମାେତେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଶାସକ ପାଇଁ ଗ୍ଭହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁଛ, ତବେେ ଆସ ମାରେ ଛାଇ ରେ ବିଶ୍ରାମ ନିଅ। ନଚେତ୍ କଣ୍ଟକ ଲତାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଗ୍ନି ବାହାରି ଲିବା ନୋନ୍ର ଏରସ ବୃକ୍ଷଗୁଡିକୁ ଗ୍ରାସ କରୁ।
And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

16 ଯଦି ବାସ୍ତବ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଅବୀମଲକେକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ରାଜା କରିବା ରେ ସାଧକ୍ସ୍ଟତା ଅବଲମ୍ବନ କରିଥାଅ ଓ ଏହା କରିବା ଦ୍ବାରା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଓ ୟିରକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଦାଲ୍ ଓ ତା'ର ପରିବାର ପ୍ରତି ନିରପେକ୍ଷ ଦଖାଇେଥାଅ ଏବଂ ଯଦି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପ୍ରାପ୍ଯ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସା ରେ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିଥାଅ।
Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;

17 ତା'ପରେ ସହେି ବିଷଯ ରେ ଚିନ୍ତାକର, ମାରେ ପିତା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଯାହା କରିଥିଲେ। ମାରେ ପିତା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କରିଥିଲେ। ସେ ତା ଜୀବନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବାଜି ଲଗାଇ ମିଦିଯନର ହସ୍ତରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିଥିଲେ।
(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:

18 କିନ୍ତୁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାରେ ପିତାଙ୍କର ପରିବାର ବିରକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ରେ ବିଦ୍ରୋହ କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାଙ୍କର ସତକ୍ସ୍ଟରି ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ରଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗୋଟିଏ ପଥର ରେ ହତ୍ଯା କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଅବୀମଲକେକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶିଖିମ ଉପରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ରାଜା କରିଅଛ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସଐର୍କୀଯ। ସେ ହେଉଛି ମାରେପିତାଙ୍କର ଦାସୀ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର।
And ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)

19 ତେଣୁ ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆଜି ୟିରକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଦାଲ ଓ ତାହାର ପରିବାର ଉପରେ ସତ୍ଯ ଓ ସରଳ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିଅଛ, ତବେେ ଅବୀମଲକେକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇେ ଆନନ୍ଦ କର ଓ ସେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଇେ ଆନନ୍ଦ କରୁ।
If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:

20 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏହା କରିନାହଁ, ତବେେ ଅବୀମଲକଠାେରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଗ୍ନି ବାହାରି ଶିଖିମ ନତେୃବର୍ଗଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓ ମିଲ୍ଲୋ ନିବାସୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ମିଲ୍ଲୋ ଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦଗ୍ଧ କରୁ। ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ଶିଖିମ୍ ନିବାସୀ ଲୋକଗଣଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓ ମିଲ୍ଲୋ ନିବାସୀମାନଙ୍କ ଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଗ୍ନି ବାହାରି ଅବୀମଲକେକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗ୍ରାସ କରୁ।
But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.

21 ଏହାପରେ ଯୋଥମ୍ ବରେ ନାମକ ସହରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶିଘ୍ର ପଳାଇଲା। ଯୋନାଥନ ସଠାେରେ ରହିଲା କାରଣ ସେ ଅବୀମଲକଙ୍କେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଭୟ କରୁ ଥିଲା।
And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
