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 unto them, All of you have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed 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 All of you have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD 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 the LORD your God has given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return all of you, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side 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 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto 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 unto their tents.
त्यसैले यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिएर पठाए, र तिनीहरू आफ्ना पालहरूतिर गए ।
7 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then 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 he spoke unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto 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 brethren.
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 children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of 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 unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
जब तिनीहरू कनानको भूमि यर्दनमा आए, रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलहरूले यर्दन नजिकै निकै ठुलो र सजिलै देखिने वेदी बनाए ।
11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar opposite to the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children 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 children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यो कुरा सुने, इस्राएलका मानिसको सारा भेला तिनीहरू विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्न जान शीलोमा जान सँगै भेला भए ।
13 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिलादको भूमिमा रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलकहाँ समाचारवाहकहरू पठाए । तिनीहरूले एलाजारका छोरा पुजारी पीनहास,
14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers 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 unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto 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 the LORD, What trespass is this that all of you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that all of you have built you an altar, that all of you might rebel this day against the LORD?
“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 are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
के पोरको हाम्रो पाप पर्याप्त थिएन? तैपनि हामीले आफूलाई यसबाट अझै शुद्ध पारेका छैनौँ । त्यो पापको निम्ति परमप्रभुको समुदायमा विपत्ति आइपर्यो ।
18 But that all of you must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing all of you rebel to day against the LORD, 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 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass all of you over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD 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 the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not 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 children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
त्यसपछि रूबेन, गाद, र मनश्शेका आधा कुलले इस्राएलका कुलका प्रमुखहरूलाई जवाफ दिए,
22 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knows, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not 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 from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or food offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;
परमप्रभुलाई पछ्याउनबाट आफै तर्कन यो वेदी बनाएका हौँ भने आज हामीलाई नछोड्नुहोस् ।
24 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have all of you to do with the LORD 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 the LORD has made Jordan a border between us and you, all of you children of Reuben and children of Gad; all of you have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
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 that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, All of you have no part in the LORD.
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 said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; 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 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for food offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD 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 princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.
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 unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because all of you have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now all of you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
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 princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children 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 children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and 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 children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
रूबेनीहरू र गादीहरूले त्यो वेदीलाई “साक्षी” नाउँ राखे, किनभने तिनीहरूले भने, “यो हामी र परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनुहन्छ भन्ने बिच साक्षी छ ।”
