व्यवस्था 2

1 तब हामी परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभएझैँ नर्कटहरूको समुद्रको दिशातर्फ उजाड-स्थानमा यात्रा गर्‍यौँ । हामीले धेरै दिनसम्म सेइर पर्वतको फन्को मार्‍यौँ ।

Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.

2 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, '

At this time the LORD said to me,

3 तिमीहरू धेरै दिनसम्म यस पर्वतको वरिपरि घुम्दै छौ । अब उत्तरतिर फर्क ।

“You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north

4 मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दे, 'तिमीहरू सेइरमा बस्‍ने एसावका सन्तानहरू अर्थात् तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइहरूको सिमाना पार गरेर जानुपर्छ । तिनीहरू तिमीहरूदेखि डराउने छन् । त्यसकारण सावधान होओ ।

and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.

5 तिनीहरूसँग लडाइँ नगर्नू किनकि म तिनीहरूको कुनै पनि देश तिमीहरूलाई दिने छैनँ । पैतलाले टेक्‍ने जत्रो ठाउँ पनि म तिमीहरूलाई दिने छैनँ । किनकि मैले सेइर पर्वत एसावको अधिकारमा दिएको छु ।

Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.

6 तिमीहरूले खानका लागि पैसा तिरेर तिनीहरूबाट खाना किन्‍नू । तिमीहरूले पिउनका लागि पैसा तिरेर तिनीहरूबाट पानी पनि किन्‍नू ।

You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”

7 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका हातका सबै काममा तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ । यो ठुलो उजाड-स्थानको यात्राभरि उहाँले तिमीहरूको हेरचाह गर्नुभएको छ । यी चालिस वर्ष परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर तिमीहरूसित हुनुभएको छ, र तिमीहरूलाई कुनै कुरोको कमी भएको छैन' ।”

Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.

8 त्यसैले हामी सेइरमा बस्‍ने एसावका सन्तानहरू अर्थात् हाम्रा दाजुभाइहरूका सिमानाहरू भएर गयौँ । यो ठाउँ एलात र एस्योन-गेबेर अनि अराबाट पर पर्छ । तब हामी फर्केर मोआबको उजाड-स्थानको बाटो लाग्यौँ ।

So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.

9 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'मोआबलाई दुःख नदे, र तिनीहरूसित लडाइँ नगर् । म त्यसको देश तिमीहरूको आफ्नो अधिकार हुनलाई दिन्‍नँ किनभने मैले आर सहरलाई लोतका सन्तानहरूको अधिकार हुनलाई दिएको छु ।'

Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”

10 (पहिले त्यहाँ एमीहरू बस्थे जुन जाति पराक्रमी, असङ्ख्य र अनाकीहरूजस्तै अग्ला-अग्ला थिए ।

(The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.

11 अनाकीहरूझैँ यी मानिसहरू पनि रपाईहरू हुन् भनी ठानिन्छ, तर मोआबीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई एमी भन्थे ।

Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.

12 सेइरमा पहिले होरीहरू पनि बस्थे, तर एसावका सन्तानहरूले तिनीहरूलाई धपाए । तिनीहरूले होरीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट निकाली तिनीहरूको ठाउँमा बसोबास गरे जस्तो परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई तिनीहरूको अधिकारको रूपमा यो देश दिनुभएको थियो ।)

The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave them as their possession.)

13 'अब उठेर जेरेद खोला पारि जाओ ।' त्यसैले हामी जेरेद खोला पारि गयौँ ।

“Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.

14 कादेश-बर्नेबाट जेरेद खोला पारिसम्म आउन हामीलाई अठतिस दिन लाग्यो । त्यस बेलासम्म परमप्रभुले शपथ खानुभएझैँ लडाइँको लागि योग्य सबै मानिसको त्यो पुस्ता नष्‍ट भइसकेको थियो ।

The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.

15 त्यस बाहेक, तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट नपारूञ्‍जेल परमप्रभुको हात त्यो पुस्ताको विरुद्धमा थियो ।

Indeed, the LORD’s hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.

16 जब मानिसहरूका बिचबाट लडाइँको लागि योग्य सबै मानिस मरेर गए,

Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,

17 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,

the LORD said to me,

18 'आज तिमीहरूले मोआबको सिमाना आर सहरलाई पार गर्नुपर्छ ।

“Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.

19 तिमीहरू अम्मोनका मानिसहरूको सिमानामा आइपुग्दा तिनीहरूलाई दुःख नदेओ वा तिनीहरूसित लडाइँ नगर । अम्मोनीहरूको कुनै पनि भूमि म तिमीहरूको अधिकारको रूपमा दिन्‍नँ । किनकि मैले यो देश लोतका सन्तानहरूलाई अधिकारको रूपमा दिएको छु ।'

But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”

20 (त्यसलाई पनि रपाईहरूको देश ठानिन्थ्यो । त्यहाँ पहिले रपाईहरू बस्थे, तर अम्मोनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई जमजुम्मीहरू भन्दथे ।

(That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.

21 तिनीहरू पराक्रमी, असङ्ख्य र अनाकीहरूझैँ अग्ला-अग्ला थिए । तर परमप्रभुले अम्मोनीहरूकै सामुन्‍ने तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गरिदिनुभयो र तिनीहरूले यिनीहरूलाई धपाएर तिनीहरू यिनीहरूको ठाउँमा बसे ।

They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,

22 परमप्रभुले सेइरमा बस्‍ने एसावका सन्तानहरूकै सामुन्‍ने होरीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गरी तिनीहरूको ठाउँमा यिनीहरूलाई राख्‍नुहुँदा यिनीहरूका लागि पनि यसै गर्नुभयो । यिनीहरू आजसम्म यहाँ बसोबास गर्दै छन् ।

just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.

23 गाजासम्म टाढा गाउँहरूमा बस्‍ने अव्वीहरूलाई कप्‍तोरबाट आएका कप्‍तोरीहरूले नष्‍ट पारी तिनीहरूको ठाउँमा बसोबास गरे ।)

And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, were destroyed by the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place.)

24 'अब उठेर आफ्ना यात्रा थाल अनि अर्नोनको बेँसी पार गर । हेर, मैले हेश्बोनका राजा एमोरी सीहोन र त्यसको देश तिमीहरूलाई दिएको छु । यसलाई कब्जा गर्न थाल र त्योसित लडाइँ गर ।

“Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.

25 पुरै आकाशमुनि भएका जाति-जातिहरूमा म तिमीहरूको डर र त्रास हाल्न सुरु गर्ने छु । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको बारेमा भएको खबर सुनेर थरथर काम्‍ने छन् अनि तिमीहरूको कारणले विचलित हुने छन् ।'

This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”

26 मैले कदेमोतको उजाड-स्थानबाट हेश्बोनका राजा सीहोनलाई शान्तिका वचनहरूसहित सन्देशवाकहरू पठाएँ,

So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon, saying,

27 'मलाई तपाईंको देश भएर जान दिनुहोस् । म लोकमार्ग भएर जानेछु । म दाहिने र देब्रे लाग्‍ने छैनँ ।

“Let us pass through your land; we will stay on the main road. We will not turn to the right or to the left.

28 खानको लागि तपाईंले मलाई पैसामा खाना बेच्नुहुने छ र पिउनको लागि पैसामा पानी दिनुहुने छ । केवल मलाई तपाईंको देश भएर जान दिनुहोस्

You can sell us food to eat and water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot,

29 । जसरी सेइरमा बस्‍ने एसावका सन्तानहरू र आर सहरमा बस्‍ने मोआबीहरूले मेरो निम्ति गरेथे त्यसै गरी मैले यर्दन पार गरी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई दिनुहुने देशमा नपुगेसम्म त्यसै गर्नुहोस् ।'

just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”

30 तर हेश्बोनका राजा सीहोनले हाम्रो कुरा सुनेनन् र हामीलाई तिनको बाटो भएर जान दिएनन् । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिनको मन कठोर बनाइदिनुभएको थियो र तिनको हृदय हठी बनाइदिनुभएको थियो ताकि तिमीहरूको शक्तिद्वारा उहाँले तिनलाई पराजित गर्नुभएको होस् जस्तो उहाँले आजको दिनसम्म गर्नुभएको छ ।

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.

31 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'हेर्, मैले तेरै सामुन्‍ने सीहोन र त्यसको देश तँलाई दिन थालेको छु । यस देशमाथि तेरो अधिकार होस् भनेर यसलाई कब्जा गर्न थाल् ।'

Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”

32 तब सीहोन आफ्ना सबै मानिस लिएर यहसा भन्‍ने ठाउँमा हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लड्न आए ।

So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.

33 परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई हाम्रो हातमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो र हामीले तिनी, तिनका छोराहरू र तिनका सबै मानिसलाई पराजित गर्‍यौँ ।

And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.

34 त्यस बेला हामीले तिनका सबै सहर कब्जा गरी हरेक सहर, पुरुष र स्‍त्रीहरू अनि बालबच्‍चाहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपले नष्‍ट पार्‍यौँ । एउटै पनि बाँचेन ।

At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors.

35 आफ्ना निम्ति लुटको मालको रूपमा लगेका गाईवस्तु र सहरबाट लुटिएका मालहरू मात्र हामीले लियौँ ।

We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.

36 अर्नोन बेँसीको छेउमा भएको अरोएरदेखि र बेँसीमा भएको सहरदेखि गिलादसम्म हामीले कब्जा गर्न नसक्‍ने कुनै सहर थिएन । परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले ती हाम्रा हातमा दिनुभयो ।

From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.

37 केवल अम्मोनका सन्तानहरूको देशसाथै यब्बोक नदीका सबै किनाराका जग्गा अनि पहाडी देशका सहरहरू जहाँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले जान हामीलाई निषेध गर्नुभयो थियो, त्यहाँ तिमीहरू गएनौ ।

But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
