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, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.

2 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, '

The LORD spoke to me, saying,

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

“You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

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 ।

Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore be 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 ।

Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.

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

You shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat. You shall also buy water from them for money, that you may 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' ।”

For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, the LORD your God has been with you. 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 from our brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way 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 ।'

The LORD said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”

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

(The Emim lived there before, a great and numerous people, and tall as the Anakim.

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

These also are considered to be Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.

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 also lived in Seir in the past, but the children of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)

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

“Now rise up and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook 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 days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we had come over the brook Zered were thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the middle of the camp, as the LORD swore to them.

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

Moreover the LORD’s hand was against them, to destroy them from the middle of the camp, until they were consumed.

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

So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

17 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,

the LORD spoke to me, saying,

18 'आज तिमीहरूले मोआबको सिमाना आर सहरलाई पार गर्नुपर्छ ।

“You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today.

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 ।'

When you come near the border of the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”

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

(That also is considered a land of Rephaim. Rephaim lived there in the past, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,

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

a great people, many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them from before Israel, and they succeeded them, and lived 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 ।

as he did for the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day.

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

Then the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza: the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them and lived 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 ।

“Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with 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 ।'

Today I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.”

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

I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

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

“Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway. I will turn neither to the right hand nor 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 shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink. Just let me pass through on my feet,

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 ।'

as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives 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 by him, for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as it is today.

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 ।'

The LORD said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”

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

Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.

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

The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, his sons, and all his people.

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

We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. We left no one remaining.

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

Only the livestock we took for plunder for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities which we had taken.

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, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. The LORD our God delivered up all before us.

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 ।

Only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near: all the banks of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.
