Joshua 10
1 Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had captured Ai and destroyed the town completely, as he had also done to Jericho, and had killed its king, just as he had the king of Jericho. He also heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were allied with them.
यरूशलेमका राजा अदोनिसेदेकले यहोशूले ऐलाई कब्जा गरेका र यसलाई (तिनले यरीहो र यसका राजालाई गरेझैँ) पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गरेका कुरा सुने, अनि गिबोनका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलसँग कसरी शान्ति सम्झौता गरे र तिनीहरूका माझ बस्छन् भन्ने पनि सुने ।
2 The people of Jerusalem were very frightened by this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as any town ruled by the king, and larger than Ai, and its men were tough fighters.
यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू साह्रै भयभीत भए, किनभने गिबोन राजकीय सहरहरूमध्ये एकजस्तै ठुलो सहर थियो । यो ऐभन्दा ठुलो र यसका सबै मानिस शक्तिशाली योद्धाहरू थिए ।
3 So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent a message to Hoham, king of Hebron, Piram, king of Jarmuth, Japhia, king of Lachish, and Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
त्यसैले यरूशलेमका राजा अदोनिसेदेकले हेब्रोनका राजा होहाम, यर्मूतका राजा पिराम, लाकीशका राजा यापी र एग्लोनका राजा दबीरलाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए,
4 “Come and help me attack Gibeon because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
“मकहाँ आउनुहोस् र गिबोनलाई आक्रमण गर्न मलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस् किनभने तिनीहरूले यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसँग शान्ति सम्झौता गरेका छन् ।”
5 So these five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and their armies gathered and set off. They surrounded Gibeon and then began their attack.
पाँच एमोरी राजा अर्थात् हेब्रोनका राजा, यर्मूतका राजा, लाकीशका राजा र एग्लोनका राजा, उनीहरू र उनीहरूका सबै फौजले गिबोनविरुद्ध मोर्चा बाँधे र उनीहरूले यसलाई आक्रमण गरे ।
6 The Gibeonites sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Please don't abandon us, your servants! Come quickly and save us! We need your help for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have joined in attacking us.”
गिबोनका मानिसहरूले यहोशू र गिलगालमा भएका फौजलाई समाचार पठाए । उनीहरूले भने, “चाँडो गर्नुहोस्! तपाईंका दासहरूबाट आफ्ना हातहरू नखिँच्नुहोस् । हामीकहाँ चाँडो गरी आउनुहोस् र हामीलाई बचाउनुहोस् । हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस्, किनभने पहाडी देशहरूमा बस्ने सबै एमोरी राजा हामीलाई आक्रमण गर्न भेला भएका छन् ।”
7 So Joshua, all his fighting men and best fighters, set off from Gilgal.
यहोशू, तिनी र तिनीसँग भएका युद्ध गर्ने सबै अनि लड्ने सबै मानिस गिलगालबाट गए ।
8 The Lord had said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid of them, for you will defeat them. Not a single one will be able to stand against you.”
परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “उनीहरूसँग नडरा । मैले उनीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा दिएको छु । उनीहरू कसैले पनि तेरो आक्रमणलाई रोक्न सक्ने छैनन् ।
9 By marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua arrived without warning.
यहशूले रातभरि यात्रा गरेर उनीहरूमाथि अचानक जाइलागे ।
10 The Lord threw the Amorite armies into a panic when they saw the Israelites. He struck them down with a great blow at Gibeon; he chased them all the way up to Beth-horon, cutting them down on the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सामु शत्रुहरूलाई अन्योलमा पार्नुभयो, र इस्राएलले गिबोनमा ठुलो संहारको साथ उनीहरूलाई मारे अनि उनीहरूलाई बेथ-होरोनसम्मै खेदे । तिनीहरूले आजेका र मक्केदाको बाटोसम्मै उनीहरूलाई मारे ।
11 As they ran away from the Israelites down the slope from Beth-horon, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the skies all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than we killed by the swords of the Israelites.
जब तिनीहरू इस्राएलबाट बेथ-होरोनको डाँडाको ओरालोमा झरे, परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट ठुला-ठुला असिनाहरू बर्साउनुभयो र उनीहरू मरे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तरवारले मारेका भन्दा असिनाको कारण मरेकाहरू धैरै थिए । त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई एमोरीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो,
12 On the day that the Lord handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still over the Valley of Aijalon!”
अनि यहोशू परमप्रभुसँग बोले । यहोशूले इस्राएलको सामु परमप्रभुलाई यसो भने, “ए सूर्य, गिबोनमाथि र ए चन्द्र अय्यालोनको बेँसीमा अडिरह ।” जातिले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूमाथि बदला नलिएसम्म सूर्य अडियो र चन्द्र रोकियो । के यो याशारको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छैन र?
13 The sun stopped moving, and the moon stood still, until the nation of Israel had inflicted defeat on their enemies. (This is recorded in the Book of Jashar). The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not go down for around a full day.
सूर्य आकाशको बिचमा रहिरह्यो; यो झण्डै पुरै दिनभरि नै अस्ताएन ।
14 There wasn't a day like this ever before or since when the Lord listened to a human voice in such a way. It was because the Lord was fighting for Israel.
परमप्रभुले मानव-जातिको कुरा सुन्नुभयो, यसअगि र यसपछि कहिल्यै पनि यस्तो भएको छैन । किनभने परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको तर्फबाट युद्ध लडिरहनुभएको थियो ।
15 Then Joshua and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएली गिलगालको छाउनीमा फर्के ।
16 The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
अब पाँच जना राजा उम्केका र आफै मक्केदाको गुफामा लुकेका थिए ।
17 When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,
यहोशूलाई यसो भनियो, “पाँच जना राजा मक्केदाको गुफामा लुकेको भेट्टाइए ।”
18 he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard it.
यहोशूले भने, “गुफाको मुखमा ठुला-ठुला ढुङ्गाहरू गुडाएर राख र उनीहरूको सुरक्षाको निम्ति सिपाहीहरू खटाओ ।
19 But don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”
तिमीहरूचाहिँ नबस । तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूको पिछा गर र पछाडिबाट आक्रमण गर । उनीहरूको सहरमा पस्न नदेओ किनभने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले उनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका हातमा दिनुभएको छ ।”
20 So Joshua and the Israelites totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their towns.
उनीहरू झण्डै पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट नभएसम्म नै यहोशू र इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूले उनीहरूलाई ठुलो संहारको साथ संहार गरिसिद्ध्याएका थिए; केही बचेकाहरू मात्र उम्केर किल्ला भएको सहरमा पुगे ।
21 The army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten the Israelites.
त्यसपछि सबै फौज मक्केदाको छाउनीमा यहोशूकहाँ शान्तिसँग फर्के । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध कसैले एक शब्द पनि बोल्ने आँट गरेन ।
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance and bring out the five kings to me from the cave.”
यहोशूले भने, “गुफाको मुख खोल । गुफाबाट यी राजाहरूलाई लिएर आओ ।”
23 So they did, bringing out the five kings from the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
तिनीहरूले तिनले भनेझैँ गरे । तिनीहरूले यरूशलेमका राजा, हेब्रोनका राजा, यार्मूतका राजा, लाकीशका राजा र एग्लोनका राजा अर्थात् यी पाँच जना राजालाई गुफाबाट बाहिर ल्याए ।
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the fighting men, and said to the commanders who had gone with him, “Come here, and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came over and put their feet on their necks.
जब तिनीहरूले राजाहरूलाई यहोशूकहाँ ल्याए, तिनले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई बोलाए । तिनले तिनीसँग युद्धमा जाने सेनाहरूका सेनापतिहरूलाई भने, “उनीहरूको गर्दनमा तिमीहरूको खुट्टाले टेक ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू आए र उनीहरूका गर्दनमाथि तिनीहरूका खुट्टाले टेके ।
25 Joshua said to them, “Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! Be strong and be brave! For the Lord is going to do the same thing to all your enemies that you're going to fight!”
अनि तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “नडराओ, र निराश नहोओ । बलियो र साहसी होओ । तिमीहरूले लड्न गइरहेका तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई परमप्रभुले यसै गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
26 Then Joshua killed the kings and hung their bodies on five trees and left them hanging there until the evening.
अनि यहोशूले आक्रमण गरी राजाहरूलाई मारे । तिनले उनीहरूलाई पाँचवटा रुखमा झुण्ड्याए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई साँझसम्म झुण्ड्याए ।
27 As the sun went down Joshua gave the order to take their bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. Then the Israelites piled up stones over the entrance to the cave, and they are there to this very day.
घाम अस्ताउँदा यहोशूले आज्ञा दिए र तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई रुखबाट तल झारे अनि उनीहरू लुकेका गुफाभित्र नै उनीहरूलाई फ्याँकिदिए । तिनीहरूले गुफाको मुखमा ठुला-ठुला ढुङ्गाहरू राखे । ती ढुङ्गाहरू आजसम्म पनि छन् ।
28 That day Joshua captured Makkedah, killing all its inhabitants, including the king. He set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He killed the king of Makkedah just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
यसरी, यहोशूले त्यस दिन मक्केदा कब्जा गरे र यसका राजासहित त्यहाँ भएका सबैलाई तरवारले मारे । तिनले यसमा भएका सबैलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे । तिनले कसैलाई पनि जीवित छोडेनन् । तिनले मक्केदाका राजालाई यरीहोका राजालाई झैँ गरे ।
29 Then Joshua and the Israelite army left Makkedah and went to attack Libnah,
यहोशू र सारा इस्राएल मक्केदाबाट लिब्नातिर गए । तिनले लिब्नाविरुद्ध लडे ।
30 and the Lord gave the town and its king to the Israelites. Joshua had everyone in it killed, leaving no survivors. He killed its king just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
परमप्रभुले यसलाई उनीहरूका राजासहित इस्राएलको हातमा दिनुभयो । यहोशूले यसलाई र यसमा भएका सबैलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे । तिनले यसमा कसैलाई जीवित छाडेनन् । तिनले यसका राजालाई यरीहोका राजालाई झैँ गरे ।
31 Then Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounding the town and attacking it.
यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएल लिब्नाबाट लाकीशतिर अगि बढे । तिनले यसको नजिकै छाउनी हाले र यसविरुद्ध लडे ।
32 The Lord gave the town to the Israelites who captured it on the second day. Joshua had everyone in it killed, just as he had done in Libnah.
परमप्रभुले लाकीशलाई इस्राएलको हातमा दिनुभयो । यहोशूले यसलाई दोस्रो दिनमा कब्जा गरे र तिनले लिब्नालाई गरेजस्तै यसलाई र यसमा भएका सबैलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे ।
33 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came with his army to help Lachish, but Joshua and his men killed them, leaving no survivors.
त्यसपछि गेजेरका राजा होराम लाकीशलाई सहायता गर्न आए । यहोशूले उनलाई र उनीसँग भएका फौजलाई एक जना पनि जीवित नराखी आक्रमण गरे ।
34 Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounding the town and attacking it.
त्यसपछि यहोशू र सारा इस्राएल लाकीशबाट एग्लोनतिर अगि बढे । तिनीहरूले यसको नजिकै छाउनी हाले र यसविरुद्ध युद्ध गरे,
35 They captured it the same day. Joshua had everyone in it killed that very day. He set it apart and completely destroyed it, just as he had done in Lachish.
र त्यसै दिन यसलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले यसलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे र यहोशूले लाकीशलाई गरे झैँ यसमा भएका सबैलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे ।
36 Joshua and the Israelite army left Eglon and went to attack Hebron.
त्यसपछि यहोशू र सारा इस्राएल एग्लोनबाट हेब्रोनतिर अगि बढे । तिनीहरूले यसविरुद्ध युद्ध गरे ।
37 They captured the town, as well as the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Eglon, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it.
तिनीहरूले यसलाई, यसका राजा, यसका गाउँहरू र यसमा भएका सबैलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे । तिनीहरूले यसमा कसैलाई जीवित छाडेनन् । तिनीहरूले एग्लोनलाई जे गरेका थिए, तिनीहरूले यसलाई र यसमा भएका हरेकलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे ।
38 Then Joshua and the Israelite army turned and went to attack Debir.
त्यसपछि यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै फौज फर्के र तिनीहरू दबीरतिर लागे र यसविरुद्ध युद्ध गरे ।
39 He captured it and its king and all the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Hebron, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it. He killed the king of Debir just as he had killed the king of Libnah.
तिनीहरूले यसलाई, यसका राजा र यस नजिकका सबै गाउँलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे र यसमा भएका हरेकलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे । तिनीहरूले कसैलाई पनि जीवित छाडेनन् । तिनीहरूले लिब्नालाई र यसका राजालाई र हेब्रोनलाई गरेझैँ दबीरलाई पनि गरे ।
40 So Joshua conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes—and all their kings. He didn't leave a single survivor. He killed everyone as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
यहोशूले पहाडी देश, नेगेव, समथर भूमि र पहाडहरूका सबै भूमिमाथि विजय हासिल गरे । उनीहरूका कुनै पनि राजा जीवित रहेनन् । परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएजस्तै तिनले सबै थोकलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे ।
41 Joshua destroyed them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and the whole of the land from Goshen to Gibeon.
यहोशूले कादेश-बर्नेदेखि गाजासम्म र गोशेनदेखि गोबोनसम्म सब देशलाई प्रहार गरे ।
42 All the kings and their lands were conquered by Joshua in one campaign because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for the Israelites.
यहशूले यी सबै राजा र उनीहरूका भूमिलाई एकै पटकमा कब्जा गरे, किनभने परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमश्वर इस्राएलको पक्षमा युद्ध गर्नुभयो ।
43 Joshua and the Israelite army then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
त्यसपछि यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएल गिलगालको छाउनीमा फर्के ।
