Joshua 3
1 Then Ioshua rose very earely, and they remoued from Shittim, and came to Iorden, he, and all the children of Israel, and lodged there, before they went ouer.
यहोशू बिहान सबेरै उठे र तिनीहरू शित्तीमबाट हिँडे । तिनीहरू यर्दनमा आए अनि, तिनी र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले पारि जानअगि त्यहीँ नै छाउनी हाले ।
2 And after three dayes the officers went throughout the hoste,
तिन दिनपछि अधिकृतहरू छाउनीको बिच-बिचतिर गए;
3 And commanded the people, saying, When ye see the Arke of the couenat of the Lord your God, and the Priestes of the Leuites bearing it, ye shall depart from your place, and goe after it.
तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे, “जब तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको करारको सन्दुक र लेवी कुलका पुजारीहरूले यसलाई बोकिरहेका देख्छौ, तिमीहरूले यो ठाउँलाई छोड्नुपर्छ र यसको पछि-पछि जानुपर्छ ।
4 Yet there shalbe a space betweene you and it, about two thousande cubites by measure: ye shall not come neere vnto it, that ye may knowe the way, by the which ye shall goe: for ye haue not gone this way in times past.
तिमीहरू र यसको बिचमा एक हजार मिटर फरक हुनुपर्छ । यसको नजिक नआओ, ताकि कुन बाटो जानुपर्ने हो, सो तिमीहरूले देख्न सक्ने छौ, किनभने तिमीहरू यो बाटोमा यसअगि हिँडेका छैनौ ।”
5 (Nowe Ioshua had saide vnto the people, Sanctifie your selues: for to morowe the Lord will doe wonders among you)
यहोशूले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “भोलिको निम्ति आ-आफूलाई शुद्ध पार, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूमाझ अचम्मका कामहरू गर्नुहुने छ ।”
6 Also Ioshua spake vnto the Priestes, saying, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and goe ouer before the people: so they tooke vp the Arke of the couenant, and went before the people.
योहोशूले पुजारीहरूलाई भने, “करारको सन्दुक लेओ र मानिसहरूको अगिअगि जाओ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले करारको सन्दुक उठाए र मानिसहरूको अगिअगि गए ।
7 Then the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, This day will I begin to magnifie thee in the sight of all Israel, which shall knowe, that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “आज म तँलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको नजरमा महान् व्यक्ति बनाउने छु । म जसरी मोशासँग थिएँ, त्यसै गरी म तँसँग पनि छु भनी तिनीहरूले जान्ने छन् ।
8 Thou shalt therefore command the Priests that beare the Arke of the Couenant, saying, When ye are come to the brinke of the waters of Iorden, ye shall stande still in Iorden.
तैँले करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने पुजारीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिने छस्, 'जब तिमीहरू यर्दनको पानीको छेउमा पुग्छौ, तिमीहरू यर्दन नदीमा नै उभिरहनुपर्छ' ।”
9 Then Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Come hither, and heare the wordes of the Lord your God.
अनि यहोशूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “यहाँ आओ, र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको वचन सुन ।
10 And Ioshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the liuing God is among you, and that he will certainely cast out before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hiuites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Iebusites.
परमेश्वर तिमीहरूमाझ हुनुहुन्छ र कनानीहरू, हित्तीहरू, हिव्वीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, गिर्गाशीहरू, एमोरीहरू र यबूसीहरूलाई तिमीहरूको अगिबाट धपाउनु हुनेछ भनी तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउने छौ ।
11 Beholde, the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of all the worlde passeth before you into Iorden.
हेर, सारा पृथ्वीका परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक यर्दन नदीमा तिमीहरूको अगिअगि जाने छ ।
12 Nowe therefore take from among you twelue men out of the tribes of Israel, out of euery tribe a man.
अब इस्राएलका हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक जना गरी बाह्र जना मानिस छान ।
13 And assoone as the soles of the feete of the Priestes (that beare the Arke of the Lord God the Lord of all the worlde) shall stay in the waters of Iorden, the waters of Iorden shall be cut off: for the waters that come from aboue, shall stande still vpon an heape.
जब सारा पृथ्वीका प्रभुहरूका परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने पुजारीहरूको खुट्टाले यर्दन नदीको पानी छुन्छ यर्दनको पानी रोकिने छ र माथिबाट तल बग्दै गरेको पानी पनि बग्न छोड्ने छ र त्यो एक थुप्रो भएर रहने छ ।
14 Then when the people were departed from their tentes to goe ouer Iorden, the Priestes bearing the Arke of the Couenant, went before people.
त्यसैले जब मानिसहरू यर्दन पारि जानलाई हिँडे, पुजारीहरूले करारको सन्दुकलाई बोकेर मानिसहरूको अगिअगि गए ।
15 And as they that bare the Arke came vnto Iorden, and the feete of the Priestes that bare the Arke were dipped in the brinke of the water, (for Iorden vseth to fill all his bankes all the time of haruest)
ती करारको सन्दुक बोक्नेहरू यर्दन नदीमा आउने र तिनीहरूका खुट्टाले पानी छुने बित्तिकै (कटनीको समयभरि नै यर्दन नदीको पानी यसको किनारासम्म पुग्छ)
16 Then the waters that came downe from aboue, stayed and rose vpon an heape and departed farre from the citie of Adam, that was beside Zaretan: but the waters that came downe towarde the Sea of the wildernes, euen the salt Sea, failed, and were cut off: so the people went right ouer against Iericho.
माथिबाट तलतिर बग्दै गरेको पानी एक थुप्रो भई रोकियो ।
17 But the Priestes that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, stoode drie within Iorden readie prepared, and all the Israelites went ouer dry, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer through Iorden.
पानी निकै माथिदेखि नै बग्न छोड्यो । पानी सार्तान नजिकैको आदम नाम गरेको सहरबाट नेगेवको समुद्र अर्थात् मृत सागरसम्म नै बग्न छोड्यो । मानिसहरू यरीहो नजिकै पारि तरे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले सुक्खा भूमिमा पार नगरेसम्म परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने पुजारीहरू यर्दन नदीको बिचमा सुक्खा जमिनमा उभिए ।
