Joshua 22
1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
त्यस बेला यहोशूले रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेको आधा कुललाई बोलाए ।
2 and said to them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्वरका दास मोशाले आज्ञा गरेका सबै गरेका छौ । तिमीहरूले मैले आज्ञा गरेका सबै कुरामा मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरेका छौ ।
3 Ye have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.
तिमीहरूले वर्तमानसम्म यति धेरै दिनसम्म पनि आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई छाडेका छैनौ, र तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आज्ञाअनुसार आवश्यक कर्तव्यहरू पुरा गरेका छौ ।
4 And now Jehovah your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now turn ye, and get you to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.
अहिले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइहरूलाई विश्राम दिनुभएको छ । यसकारण, फर्क र तिमीहरूको आफ्नै भूमिमा जाओ, जुन परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले यर्दन पारिपट्टि तिमीहरूलाई दिएका छन् ।
5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cling to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका आज्ञाहरू र व्यवस्था पालन गर्न, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई प्रेम गर्न, उहाँका सबै मार्गमा हिँड्न, उहाँका सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न, उहाँमा नै रहिरहन र तिमीहरूका सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले उहाँको आराधना गर्नमा होसियार होओ ।”
6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
त्यसैले यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिएर पठाए, र तिनीहरू आफ्ना पालहरूतिर गए ।
7 Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,
मनश्शेको आधा कुललाई मोशाले बाशानमा नै उत्तराधिकार दिएका थिए, तर बाँकी आधा कुललाई तिनीहरूका दाजुभाइको छेउमा यर्दनको पश्चिमपट्टि दिए । यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई आ-आफ्ना पालहरूमा पठाए; तिनले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिए
8 and spoke to them, saying, Return with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.
र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “धेरै रुपियाँ-पैसा र सुन, चाँदी, काँसा र फलामसहित धेरै लत्ताकपडासहित तिमीहरूका पालहरूमा फर्क । तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूबाट लिएका लूटका मालहरू तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइहरूसँग बाँड ।
9 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the sons of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, of which they were possessed, according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
त्यसैले रूबेनका सन्तानहरू, गादका सन्तानहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुल इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई शीलोमा छोडेर घरतिर फर्के, जुन कनानको भूमि हो । तिनीहरू आफ्नै भू-भाग गिलादको प्रदेशमा जानलाई हिँडे, जुन तिनीहरूले मोशाद्वारा परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालनमा आफैले स्वामित्वमा लिएका थिए ।
10 And when they came to the region about the Jordan that is in the land of Canaan, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look upon.
जब तिनीहरू कनानको भूमि यर्दनमा आए, रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलहरूले यर्दन नजिकै निकै ठुलो र सजिलै देखिने वेदी बनाए ।
11 And the sons of Israel heard say, Behold, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the sons of Israel.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यो सुने र भने, “हेर, रूबेन, गाद र मनश्शेका आधा कुलका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको अधीनमा पर्ने यर्दन नजिकको प्रदेशको गलिलोथको कनानको भूमिको सामुन्ने वेदी निर्माण गरेका छन् ।”
12 And when the sons of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the sons of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यो कुरा सुने, इस्राएलका मानिसको सारा भेला तिनीहरू विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न जान शीलोमा जान सँगै भेला भए ।
13 And the sons of Israel sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead,
त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिलादको भूमिमा रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलकहाँ समाचारवाहकहरू पठाए । तिनीहरूले एलाजारका छोरा पुजारी पीनहास,
14 and with him ten rulers, one ruler of a fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel. And they were each man of them head of their fathers' houses among the thousands of Israel.
र इस्राएलको हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक जना गरी दस जना अगुवालाई तिनीसँगै पठाए र तिनीहरू सबै इस्राएलको कुलका परिवारको प्रमुख थिए ।
15 And they came to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
तिनीहरू गिलादको मुलुकमा रूबेन, गाद र मनश्शेको आधा कुलकहाँ आए र तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई भने,
16 Thus says the whole congregation of Jehovah, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have built for you an altar, to rebel this day against Jehovah?
“परमप्रभुका सारा समुदाय यसो भन्छ, 'परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा आजको दिन आफ्नो निम्ति वेदी निर्माण गरेर परमप्रभुलाई पछ्याउनबाट तर्किएर इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको विरुद्ध तिमीहरूले कस्तो बेइमानी गरेको?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of Jehovah,
के पोरको हाम्रो पाप पर्याप्त थिएन? तैपनि हामीले आफूलाई यसबाट अझै शुद्ध पारेका छैनौँ । त्यो पापको निम्ति परमप्रभुको समुदायमा विपत्ति आइपर्यो ।
18 that ye must turn away this day from following Jehovah? And it will be, seeing ye rebel today against Jehovah, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
के तिमीहरू पनि अहिले नै परमप्रभुलाई पछ्याउनबाट तर्किनुपर्छ? यदि तिमीहरूले आज उहाँको विरुद्ध विद्रोह गर्यौ भने, उहाँ भोलि हामी इस्राएलको सबै समुदायसँग रिसाउनुहुने छ ।
19 However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass ye over to the land of the possession of Jehovah, in which Jehovah's tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us, but do not rebel against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, in building for you an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.
यदि तिमीहरूको अधीनमा भएको भूमि अशुद्ध छ भने, तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थान खडा भएको भूमिमा नै तरेर आउनुपर्छ र हाम्रो माझमा नै भाग लिन आउनुपर्छ । परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध विद्रोह मात्र नगर, न त परमप्रभुको वेदीबाहेक अन्य वेदी निर्माण गरेर हाम्रो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर ।
20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in what was set apart, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity.
के परमेश्वरलाई सुम्पेका थोकहरूको विषयमा जेरहको छोरो आकानले विश्वास तोडेनन्? के सबै इस्राएलका मानिसमाथि क्रोध परेन? त्यसको पापको निम्ति आफू मात्रै मरेन' ।”
21 Then the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
त्यसपछि रूबेन, गाद, र मनश्शेका आधा कुलले इस्राएलका कुलका प्रमुखहरूलाई जवाफ दिए,
22 The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, the Mighty One, God, Jehovah, he knows, and Israel he shall know, if it is in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah (do not save us this day),
“हे सर्वशक्तिमान्, परमप्रभु परमेश्वर सर्वशक्तिमान्, हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर! उहाँ जान्नुहुन्छ, इस्राएलले जानोस्! यदि यो विद्रोह वा विश्वास तोड्नलाई परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा थियो भने,
23 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Jehovah, or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering on it, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings on it, let Jehovah himself require it,
परमप्रभुलाई पछ्याउनबाट आफै तर्कन यो वेदी बनाएका हौँ भने आज हामीलाई नछोड्नुहोस् ।
24 and if we have not rather out of carefulness done this, from purpose, saying, In time to come your sons might speak to our sons, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel?
यदि हामीले यो वेदी होमबलि, अन्नबलि वा मेलबलि चढाउनलाई निर्माण गरेका हौँ भने, परमप्रभुले हामीलाई यसको निम्ति मूल्य चुकाउन लगाउनुभएको होस् । होइन! हामीले आउँदो दिनमा तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूले हाम्रा सन्तानहरूलाई यसो भन्लान् भन्ने डरले हामीले यसो गर्यौँ, 'परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरसँग तिमीहरूको के सरोकार?
25 For Jehovah has made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye sons of Reuben and sons of Gad. Ye have no portion in Jehovah. So your sons might make our sons cease from fearing Jehovah.
किनभने परमप्रभुले तिमीहरू र हामीबिच यर्दनलाई सिमान बनाउनुभएको छ । तिमीहरू रूबेन र गादका मानिसहरू, तिमीहरूको परमप्रभुसँग कुनै सरोकार छैन ।'
26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,
त्यसैले तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूले हाम्रा सन्तानहरूलाई परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्न छोड्न लगाउन सक्छन् । त्यसैले हामीले भन्यौ, 'एउटा वेदी बनाऔँ, न त कुनै होमबलि न त कुनै बलिदानको निम्ति,
27 but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Jehovah before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings, that your sons may not say to our sons in time to come, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.
तर हामीपछिका हाम्रा पुस्ताहरूका निम्ति हामीहरू र तिमीहरूबिच साक्षी हुनलाई, ताकि हामीले हाम्रा होमबलिहरू र हाम्रा मेलबलिसहित हामीले परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्न सकौँ, ताकि तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूले हाम्रा सन्तानहरूलाई, “परमप्रभुमा तिमीहरूको कुनै हिस्सा छैन” भनी आउँदो समयमा कहिल्यै नभनून् ।'
28 Therefore we said, It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice, but it is a witness between us and you.
त्यसैले हामीले भन्यौँ, 'यदि भविष्यमा हामीलाई वा हाम्रा सन्तानहरूलाई यसो भनिएमा, हामीले भन्नेथियौँ, “हेर, यो वेदीको प्रतिरूप, जुन हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले न त होमबलि, न त बलिदानहरूको निम्ति, तर हामीहरू र तिमीहरू बिच गवाही हुनको निम्ति बनाए ।”
29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn away this day from following Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.
हामी आज परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थान सामु रहेको हाम्रो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको वेदीभन्दा अर्को वेदी होमबलि वा अन्नबलि वा बलिदानको निम्ति निर्माण गरेर उहाँलाई पछ्याउन छोडेर परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्ने कुरा हामीबाट दूर होस्' ।”
30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the rulers of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
जब पुजारी पीनहास र मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरू अर्थात् तिनीसँग भएका इस्राएलका कुलहरूका प्रमुखहरूले रूबेन, गाद र मनश्शेका मानिसहरूको कुरा सुने । यो तिनीहरूलाई नजरमा असल लाग्यो ।
31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Manasseh, This day we know that Jehovah is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah. Now ye have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.
एलाजारका छोरा पुजारी पीनहासले रूबेन, गाद र मनश्शेका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “आज परमप्रभु हाम्रा माझमा हुनुहुन्छ भनी हामीले थाहा पायौँ, किनभने तिमीहरूले यो उहाँको विरुद्धमा विश्वासलाई तोडेका छैनौ । अहिले तिमीहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसरूलाई परमप्रभुको हातबाट छुटकारा दिएका छौ ।”
32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the rulers, returned from the sons of Reuben, and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and brought them word again.
त्यसपछि एलाजारका छोरा पीनहास र अगुवाहरू रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरूको गिलादको मुलुकबाट कनानको भू-भागमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्के र तिनीहरूलाई यो समाचार ल्याए । तिनीहरूको प्रतिवेदन इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको नजरमा असल थियो ।
33 And the thing pleased the sons of Israel. And the sons of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad dwelt.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे र रूबेनी र गादीहरूलाई तिनीहरू बसोबास गरेका ठाउँबाट नष्ट पार्नलाई तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नेबारे कुनै कुरा गरेनन् ।
34 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar Witness. For, they said, it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.
रूबेनीहरू र गादीहरूले त्यो वेदीलाई “साक्षी” नाउँ राखे, किनभने तिनीहरूले भने, “यो हामी र परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनुहन्छ भन्ने बिच साक्षी छ ।”
