यहोशू 1
1 परमप्रभुका दास मोशाको मृत्युपछि परमप्रभु मोशाका मुख्य सहायक नूनका छोरा यहोशूसँग यसरी बोल्नुभयो,
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying,
2 “मेरो दास मोशाको मत्यु भएको छ । यसकारण, उठ्, तँ र यी मानिसहरू यर्दन नदी तरेर मैले तिनीहरू अर्थात् इस्राएलका मानसिहरूलाई दिएको भूमिमा जाओ । तेरो खुट्टाको पैतालाले टेकेका सबै ठाउँ म तँलाई दिने छु ।
“Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go across this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land which I am giving to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 मैले मोशालाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेझैँ यो मैले तँलाई दिएको छु ।
I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
4 त्यो मरुभूमि र लेबनानदेखि महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म, हित्तीहरूका सबै भूमि र घाम अस्ताउने भूमध्य सागरसम्म हुने छ ।
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 तेरो सारा जीवनभरि तेरो सामु कोही पनि खडा हुन सक्ने छैन । जसरी म मोशासँग थिएँ, त्यसरी नै तँसँग हुने छु । म तँलाई त्याग्ने छैनँ वा छोड्ने छैनँ ।
No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.
6 बलियो र साहसी हो । तैँले यी मानिसहरूलाई मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेको भूमि अधिकार गराउने छस् ।
“Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 बलियो हो र खुबै साहसी हो । मेरा दास मोशाले पालन गर्न तँलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै व्यवस्था सावधानीसाथ पालन गर् । यसबाट दाहिनेतिर वा देब्रेतिर नलाग्, ताकि तँ जहाँ गए तापनि सफल हुन सक्ने छस् ।
Only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
8 तैँले व्यवस्थाको यो पुस्तकबारे सदैव चर्चा गर्ने छस् । तैँले यसलाई दिनरात मनन गर्ने छस्, ताकि तैँले लेखेका सबै कुरा पालन गर्न सक्ने छस् । अनि तेरो फलिफाप हुने छ र तँ सफल हुने छस् ।
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9 के मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेको होइनँ र? बलियो र साहसी हो । नडरा । निराश नहो । तँ जहाँ गए पनि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर तँसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
10 अनि यहोशूले मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 “छाउनीभरि जाओ र मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा गर, 'तिमीहरूका निम्ति खानेकुराहरू तयार पार । तिमीहरू तिन दिनमा यर्दन नदी तरेर पारि जाने छौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको भूमि अधिकार गर्ने छौ' ।”
“Pass through the middle of the camp, and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess.’”
12 यहोशूले रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलहरूलाई भने,
Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
13 “परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले तिमीहरूलाई भनेका वचनहरू सम्झ । तिनले भनेका थिए, 'परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई विश्राम दिइरहनुभएको छ र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई यो भूमि दिँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।'
“Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, ‘The LORD your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
14 तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू, तिमीहरूका स-साना बालबच्चाहरू र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरू मोशाले दिएका यर्दन वारिको भूमिमा नै रहने छन् ।
Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them
15 तर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई पनि तिमीहरूलाई झैँ विश्राम नदिनुभएसम्म तिमीहरूका योद्धाहरू तिमीहरूका भाइहरूसँग पारि जाने छन् र तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्ने छन् ।
until the LORD has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.’”
16 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले पनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुहुने भूमि अधिकार गर्ने छन् । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले यर्दन वारि घाम झुल्कनेतिर दिएका तिमीहरूका आफ्नै भूमिमा फर्कने छौ र यसलाई अधिकार गर्ने छौ ।”
They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
17 तिनीहरूले यहोशूलाई जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले हामीलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै कुरा हामी गर्ने छौँ, र तपाईंले हामीलाई जहाँ पठाउनुहुन्छ हामी उतै जाने छौँ । हामीले मोशाको आज्ञा पालन गरेझैँ हामी तपाईंको आज्ञा पनि पालन गर्ने छौँ । परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वर मोशासँग रहनुभएझैँ तपाईंसँग रहनुभएको होस् ।
Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू विरुद्ध विद्रोह गर्ने र तपाईंका वचनहरूको अवज्ञा गर्ने जोसुकैलाई मार्नुपर्छ । मात्र बलियो र साहसी हुनुहोस् ।”
Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him shall himself be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
