Joshua 18
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by them.
त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसको सारा सभा शीलोमा जम्मा भयो । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ भेट हुने पाल खडा गरे र त्यो भूमि तिनीहरूको अधीनमा थियो ।
2 And the sons of Israel remained, [even] those who [had] not received their inheritance, seven tribes.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमाझ अझै पनि सात कुल थिए जसलाई तिनीहरूका उत्तराधिकार दिइएको थिएन ।
3 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will you be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God has given you?
यहोशूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पुर्खाले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको भू-भागमा जान तिमीहरूले कहिलेसम्म पछि सारिरहन्छौ?
4 Appoint of yourselves three men of each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.
हरेक कुलको निम्ति तिन-तिन जना मानिस चुन र म तिनीहरूलाई पठाउने छु । तिनीहरूले गएर भू-भागहरूको सबै कुराको सर्वेक्षण गर्ने छन् । तिनीहरूले यसको विवरण तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकारको दृष्टिकोणबाट तयार पार्ने छन् र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू मकहाँ फर्केर आउने छन् ।
5 And they came to him: and he divided to them seven portions, [saying], Juda shall stand to them a border southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.
तिनीहरूले यसलाई सात खण्डमा विभाजन गर्ने छन् । यहूदाको कुल दक्षिणतिर तिनीहरूकै क्षेत्रमा रहने छन् र योसेफको परिवार उत्तरतिर तिनीहरूकै क्षेत्रमा रहने छन् ।
6 And do you divide the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you a lot before the Lord our God.
तिमीहरूले भूमिलाई सातवटा खण्डमा वर्णन गर्ने छौ र मकहाँ ल्याउने छौ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने यहाँ चिट्ठा हाल्ने छु ।
7 For the sons of Levi have no part amongst you; for the priesthood of the Lord [is] his portion; and Gad, and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
तिमीहरूका माझमा लेवीहरूको कुनै उत्तराधिकार छैन किनभने परमप्रभुको पुजारीको काम नै तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकार हो । गाद, रूबेन र मनश्शेका आधा कुलले यर्दनपारि नै आफ्नो हिस्सा पाइसकेका छन् । यो उत्तराधिकार परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले नै तिनीहरूलाई दिएका हुन् ।”
8 And the men rose up and went; and Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here before the Lord in Selo.
त्यसैले मानिसहरू उठे र गए । भू-भागको विवरण लेख्न जाने मानिसहरूलाई यहोशूले यसो भन्दै आज्ञा दिए, “भूमिको सबैतिर जाओ, यसको विवरण लेख र मकहाँ आओ । म परमप्रभुको सामु यहाँ शीलोमा तिमीहरूको निम्ति चिट्ठा हाल्ने छु ।”
9 And they went, and explored the land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven parts in a book, and brought [the book] to Joshua.
मानिसहरू उठे र भूमिको सबैतिर गएर हरेक भागमा सहरहरूको सूची बनाएर सातैवटै खण्डमा यसका सहरहरूको मुट्ठामा विवरण लेखे । अनि तिनीहरू शीलोमा यहोशूकहाँ छाउनीमा फर्के ।
10 And Joshua cast the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.
त्यसपछि यहोशूले परमप्रभुको सामु शीलोमा तिनीहरूका निम्ति चिट्ठा हाले । यहोशूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यहाँ नै बाँडफाँड गरे र हरेकलाई आ-आफ्नो भाग दिइयो ।
11 And the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of their lot came forth between the children of Juda and the children of Joseph.
कुल-कुलअनुसार बेन्यामीनको कुलको निम्ति भूमिको भाग । तिनीहरूलाई दिइएको क्षेत्र यहूदाका सन्तानहरू र योसेफका सन्तानहरूको बिच अवस्थित थियो ।
12 And their borders were northward: the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of Mabdara.
उत्तरतिर तिनीहरूको सिमाना यर्दनमा सुरु भयो । त्यो सिमाना यरीहोको उत्तरतिरको पर्वतशृङ्खला हुँदै माथि पश्चिमी पहाडी देशतिर लाग्यो । यो बेथ-आवनको मरुभूमिसम्म पुगेको थियो ।
13 And the borders will go forth thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is southward of Baethoron the lower.
त्यहाँबाट सिमाना लूजको (अर्थात् बेथेल) दिशामा दक्षिणतिर लाग्यो । त्यसपछि सिमाना बेथ-होरोनको दक्षिणतिरको पहडा हुँदै अतारोत-अद्दारतिर झर्यो ।
14 And the borders shall pass through and proceed to the part that looks towards the sea, on the south, from the mountain in front of Baethoron southward, and its termination shall be at Cariath-Baal, this is Cariath-Jarin, a city of the children of Juda; this is the part towards the west.
त्यसपछि सिमाना अर्कै दिशातिर मोडियोः पश्चिमपट्टि यो बेथ-होरोनबाट सामुन्नेतिरका पहाडतिर मोडियो । यो यहूदाको कुलको अधीनमा रहेको एउटा सहर किर्यत-बाल (अर्थात् किर्यत-यारीम) मा टुङ्गियो । यसले पश्चिमी सिमाना निर्माण गर्यो ।
15 And the south side on the part of Cariath-Baal; and the borders shall go across to Gasin, to the fountain of the water of Naphtho.
दक्षिणतिरको सिमाना किर्यत-यारीमको बाहिरबाट सुरु भयो । यो त्यहाँबाट एफ्रोनतिर, नेप्तोहको पानीका मुहानहरूतिर निस्क्यो ।
16 And the borders shall extend down on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of Rogel.
त्यसपछि सिमाना पहाडको सिमातिर तल झर्यो, जुन बेनहिन्नोमको सामुन्ने थियो, जुन रपाईंको बेँसीको उत्तरी किनारामा थियो । यो त्यसपछि हिन्नोमको बेँसीतिर, यबूसीहरूको भिरको दक्षिण र एन-रोगेलतिर तल निरन्तर झर्यो ।
17 And [the borders] shall go across to the fountain of Baethsamys:
यो शेमशतिर गएर उत्तरतिर मोडियो, र त्यहाँबाट यो गलीलोततिर निस्क्यो, जुन अदुम्मीमको उकालोको सामुन्ने थियो । त्यसपछि यो रूबेनको बोहनको ढुङ्गातिर झर्यो ।
18 and shall proceed to Galiloth, which is in front by the going up of Aethamin; and they shall come down to the stone of Baeon of the sons of Ruben; and shall pass over behind Baetharaba northward, and shall go down to the borders behind the sea northward.
यो बेथ-अराबाको काँधतिर उत्तरतिर र अराबातिर तल आयो ।
19 And the termination of the borders shall be at the creek of the salt sea northward to the side of Jordan southward: these are their southern borders.
सिमाना बेथ-होग्लाको उत्तरतिर छिचोल्यो । त्यो सिमाना खारा समुद्रको उत्तरी खाडीमा, यर्दनको दक्षिणी किनारामा टुङ्गियो । यो दक्षिणतिरको सिमाना थियो ।
20 And Jordan shall be their boundary on the east: this [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, these [are] their borders round about according to their families.
पूर्वतिरको यसको सिमाना यर्दन नै भयो । यो बेन्यामीन कुलको उत्तराधिकार थियो, र यो कुल-कुलअनुसार, सिमाना-सिमाना गरेर वरिपरि दिइएको थियो ।
21 And the cities of the children of Benjamin according to their families [were] Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the Amecasis,
बेन्यामीन कुलको कुल-कुलअनुसारका सहरहरू यी नै थिएः यरीहो, बेथ-होग्ला, एमेक-कसीस,
22 and Baethabara, and Sara, and Besana,
बेथ-अराबा, समारैम, बेथेल,
23 and Aeein, and Phara, and Ephratha,
अब्बीम, पारा, ओप्रा,
24 and Carapha, and Cephira, and Moni, and Gabaa, twelve cities and their villages:
कपर अमोनी, ओप्नी, र गेबा । तिनीहरूका सहरहरूसहित त्यहाँ बाह्रवटा सहर थिए ।
25 Gabaon, and Rama, and Beerotha;
त्यहाँ गिबोन, रामा, बेरोतका सहरहरू पनि थिए ।
26 and Massema, and Miron, and Amoke;
मिस्पा, कपीरा, मोशा,
27 and Phira, and Caphan, and Nacan, and Selecan, and Thareela,
रेकेम, यिर्पल, तरला,
28 and Jebus (this is Jerusalem); and Gabaoth, Jarim, thirteen cities, and their villages; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.
सेलाह, एलेप, यबूस (यरूशलेमजस्तै), गिबा, र किर्यत । तिनीहरूका सहरहरूसहित त्यहाँ चौधवटा सहर थिए । यो बेन्यामीनको कुलको निम्ति तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकार थियो ।
