Joshua 23
1 And it comes to pass, many days after that YHWH has given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, that Joshua is old, entering into days,
परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूको वरिपरि भएका तिनीहरूका सबै शत्रुबाट विश्राम दिनुभएको धेरै समयपछि यहोशू वृद्ध भइसकेका थिए ।
2 and Joshua calls for all Israel, for his elderly, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and says to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days;
यहोशूले इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू, अगुवाहरू, न्यायकर्ताहरू सबैलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म निकै वृद्ध भइसकेको छु ।
3 and you have seen all that your God YHWH has done to all these nations because of you, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you;
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका खातिर यी सबै जातिलाई गर्नुभएका सबै कुरा तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ, किनभने तिमीहरूका निम्ति लड्नुहुने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
4 see, I have caused these nations who are left to fall to you for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan (and all the nations which I cut off), and the Great Sea [at] the [setting] sun.
हेर, मैले तिमीहरूलाई पश्चिममा यर्दनदेखि महासमुद्रसम्म पहिले नै नष्ट पारेका जातिहरूका साथै तिमीहरूका कुलहरूका निम्ति उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा हुन विजय हासिल गर्न बाँकी रहेका जातिहरू तिमीहरूलाई दिएको छु ।
5 As for your God YHWH, He thrusts them from your presence, and has dispossessed them from before you, and you have possessed their land, as your God YHWH has spoken to you,
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई धपाउनुहुने छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका खातिर फ्याँक्नुहुने छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूको भू-भाग कब्जा गर्नुहुने छ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको भूमि अधीन गर्ने छौ ।
6 and you have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,
त्यसैले निकै बलियो होओ, ताकि मोशाको व्यवस्थाबाट न त दहिने न त देब्रेतिर नलागी सबै पालन गर ।
7 so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to them;
त्यसैले तिमीहरू तिमीहरूका माझमा रहेका जातिहरूसँग नमिसिओ वा तिनीहरूका देवताहरूको नाउँ उच्चारण नगर, तिनीहरूको शपथ नखाओ, तिनीहरूको आराधना नगर वा तिनीहरूलाई दण्डवत् नगर ।
8 but you cleave to your God YHWH, as you have done until this day.
बरु, तिमीहरूले आजको दिनसम्म गरेझैँ तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमश्वरमा नै रहिरहो ।
9 And YHWH is dispossessing great and mighty nations from before you; as for you, none has stood in your presence until this day;
किनभने परमप्रभुले ठुलो र बलियो जातिहरूलाई तिमीहरूको सामु धपाउनुभएको छ, आजको दिनसम्म कोही तिमीहरूको सामु खडा हुन सकेको छैन ।
10 one man of you pursues a thousand, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you;
तिमीहरूमध्ये एक जनाले हजार जनालाई भगाउनेछ, किनभने तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँ तिमीहरूका निम्ति लड्नुहुने छ ।
11 and you have been very watchful for yourselves to love your God YHWH.
विशेष ध्यान देऊ, ताकि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई प्रेम गर
12 But—if you turn back at all and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,
तर यदि तिमीहरू तिमीहरूमाझ बाँकी रहेका यी जातिहरूसँग लाग्यौ र पछि हट्यौ भने वा यदि तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूसँग अन्तर-जातीय विवाह गर्यौ भने वा यदि तिमीहरू उनीहरूसँगै आयौ र उनीहरू तिमीहरूसँग सबै आए भने,
13 certainly know that your God YHWH is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a trap, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you.
यो जान कि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरू माझबाट यी जातिहरूलाई धपाउनुहुने छैन । बरु, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको यो असल भूमिबाट तिमीहरू नष्ट नभएसम्म उनीहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति पासो र जाल अनि तिमीहरूका पीठमा कोर्रा, तिमीहरूका आँखाका कसिङ्गर हुने छन् ।
14 And behold, I am going, today, in the way of all the earth, and you have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there has not fallen one thing of all the good things which your God YHWH has spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there has not failed of it one thing.
म सबै पृथ्वीको मार्गमा जाँदै छु, र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूको बारेमा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको कुनै पनि असल कुरा सत्य साबित हुन एक शब्द पनि चुकेको छैन भनी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो सारा ह्रदय र आफ्नो सारा प्राणले जान्दछौ । यी सबै कुरा तिमीहरूका निम्ति पुरा भएका छन् । तिनमा एउटै पनि चुकेको छैन ।
15 And it has been, as there has come on you all the good thing which your God YHWH has spoken to you, so YHWH brings on you the whole of the evil thing, until His destroying you from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you;
तर जसरी परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै वचन पुरा भएको छ, त्यसरी नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको यो असल भूमिबाट तिमीहरूलाई नष्ट नगरेसम्म परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूमाथि सबै खराबी ल्याउनुहुने छ ।
16 in your transgressing the covenant of your God YHWH which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.”
यदि तिमीहरूले पालन गर्न तिमीहरूलाई उहाँले आज्ञा गर्नुभएको परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको करार तोड्यौ भने, उहाँले यो गर्नुहुने छ । यदि तिमीहरू जान्छौ र अरू देवताहरूको आराधना गर्छौ र दण्डवत् गर्छौ भने, परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिमीहरूविरुद्ध दन्किने छ र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको असल भूमिबाट तिमीहरू चाँडै नष्ट हुने छौ ।”
