< यहोशू 10 >
1 यरूशलेमका राजा अदोनिसेदेकले यहोशूले ऐलाई कब्जा गरेका र यसलाई (तिनले यरीहो र यसका राजालाई गरेझैँ) पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गरेका कुरा सुने, अनि गिबोनका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलसँग कसरी शान्ति सम्झौता गरे र तिनीहरूका माझ बस्छन् भन्ने पनि सुने ।
When Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and its king, ) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,
2 यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू साह्रै भयभीत भए, किनभने गिबोन राजकीय सहरहरूमध्ये एकजस्तै ठुलो सहर थियो । यो ऐभन्दा ठुलो र यसका सबै मानिस शक्तिशाली योद्धाहरू थिए ।
He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.
3 त्यसैले यरूशलेमका राजा अदोनिसेदेकले हेब्रोनका राजा होहाम, यर्मूतका राजा पिराम, लाकीशका राजा यापी र एग्लोनका राजा दबीरलाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए,
Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:
4 “मकहाँ आउनुहोस् र गिबोनलाई आक्रमण गर्न मलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस् किनभने तिनीहरूले यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसँग शान्ति सम्झौता गरेका छन् ।”
Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.
5 पाँच एमोरी राजा अर्थात् हेब्रोनका राजा, यर्मूतका राजा, लाकीशका राजा र एग्लोनका राजा, उनीहरू र उनीहरूका सबै फौजले गिबोनविरुद्ध मोर्चा बाँधे र उनीहरूले यसलाई आक्रमण गरे ।
So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.
6 गिबोनका मानिसहरूले यहोशू र गिलगालमा भएका फौजलाई समाचार पठाए । उनीहरूले भने, “चाँडो गर्नुहोस्! तपाईंका दासहरूबाट आफ्ना हातहरू नखिँच्नुहोस् । हामीकहाँ चाँडो गरी आउनुहोस् र हामीलाई बचाउनुहोस् । हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस्, किनभने पहाडी देशहरूमा बस्ने सबै एमोरी राजा हामीलाई आक्रमण गर्न भेला भएका छन् ।”
But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
7 यहोशू, तिनी र तिनीसँग भएका युद्ध गर्ने सबै अनि लड्ने सबै मानिस गिलगालबाट गए ।
And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.
8 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “उनीहरूसँग नडरा । मैले उनीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा दिएको छु । उनीहरू कसैले पनि तेरो आक्रमणलाई रोक्न सक्ने छैनन् ।
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.
9 यहशूले रातभरि यात्रा गरेर उनीहरूमाथि अचानक जाइलागे ।
So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.
10 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सामु शत्रुहरूलाई अन्योलमा पार्नुभयो, र इस्राएलले गिबोनमा ठुलो संहारको साथ उनीहरूलाई मारे अनि उनीहरूलाई बेथ-होरोनसम्मै खेदे । तिनीहरूले आजेका र मक्केदाको बाटोसम्मै उनीहरूलाई मारे ।
And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.
11 जब तिनीहरू इस्राएलबाट बेथ-होरोनको डाँडाको ओरालोमा झरे, परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट ठुला-ठुला असिनाहरू बर्साउनुभयो र उनीहरू मरे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तरवारले मारेका भन्दा असिनाको कारण मरेकाहरू धैरै थिए । त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई एमोरीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो,
And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.
12 अनि यहोशू परमप्रभुसँग बोले । यहोशूले इस्राएलको सामु परमप्रभुलाई यसो भने, “ए सूर्य, गिबोनमाथि र ए चन्द्र अय्यालोनको बेँसीमा अडिरह ।” जातिले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूमाथि बदला नलिएसम्म सूर्य अडियो र चन्द्र रोकियो । के यो याशारको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छैन र?
Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.
13 सूर्य आकाशको बिचमा रहिरह्यो; यो झण्डै पुरै दिनभरि नै अस्ताएन ।
And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.
14 परमप्रभुले मानव-जातिको कुरा सुन्नुभयो, यसअगि र यसपछि कहिल्यै पनि यस्तो भएको छैन । किनभने परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको तर्फबाट युद्ध लडिरहनुभएको थियो ।
There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
15 यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएली गिलगालको छाउनीमा फर्के ।
And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.
16 अब पाँच जना राजा उम्केका र आफै मक्केदाको गुफामा लुकेका थिए ।
For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.
17 यहोशूलाई यसो भनियो, “पाँच जना राजा मक्केदाको गुफामा लुकेको भेट्टाइए ।”
And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.
18 यहोशूले भने, “गुफाको मुखमा ठुला-ठुला ढुङ्गाहरू गुडाएर राख र उनीहरूको सुरक्षाको निम्ति सिपाहीहरू खटाओ ।
And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:
19 तिमीहरूचाहिँ नबस । तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूको पिछा गर र पछाडिबाट आक्रमण गर । उनीहरूको सहरमा पस्न नदेओ किनभने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले उनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका हातमा दिनुभएको छ ।”
And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.
20 उनीहरू झण्डै पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट नभएसम्म नै यहोशू र इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूले उनीहरूलाई ठुलो संहारको साथ संहार गरिसिद्ध्याएका थिए; केही बचेकाहरू मात्र उम्केर किल्ला भएको सहरमा पुगे ।
So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.
21 त्यसपछि सबै फौज मक्केदाको छाउनीमा यहोशूकहाँ शान्तिसँग फर्के । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध कसैले एक शब्द पनि बोल्ने आँट गरेन ।
And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
22 यहोशूले भने, “गुफाको मुख खोल । गुफाबाट यी राजाहरूलाई लिएर आओ ।”
And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
23 तिनीहरूले तिनले भनेझैँ गरे । तिनीहरूले यरूशलेमका राजा, हेब्रोनका राजा, यार्मूतका राजा, लाकीशका राजा र एग्लोनका राजा अर्थात् यी पाँच जना राजालाई गुफाबाट बाहिर ल्याए ।
And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.
24 जब तिनीहरूले राजाहरूलाई यहोशूकहाँ ल्याए, तिनले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई बोलाए । तिनले तिनीसँग युद्धमा जाने सेनाहरूका सेनापतिहरूलाई भने, “उनीहरूको गर्दनमा तिमीहरूको खुट्टाले टेक ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू आए र उनीहरूका गर्दनमाथि तिनीहरूका खुट्टाले टेके ।
And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,
25 अनि तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “नडराओ, र निराश नहोओ । बलियो र साहसी होओ । तिमीहरूले लड्न गइरहेका तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई परमप्रभुले यसै गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.
26 अनि यहोशूले आक्रमण गरी राजाहरूलाई मारे । तिनले उनीहरूलाई पाँचवटा रुखमा झुण्ड्याए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई साँझसम्म झुण्ड्याए ।
And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.
27 घाम अस्ताउँदा यहोशूले आज्ञा दिए र तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई रुखबाट तल झारे अनि उनीहरू लुकेका गुफाभित्र नै उनीहरूलाई फ्याँकिदिए । तिनीहरूले गुफाको मुखमा ठुला-ठुला ढुङ्गाहरू राखे । ती ढुङ्गाहरू आजसम्म पनि छन् ।
And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.
28 यसरी, यहोशूले त्यस दिन मक्केदा कब्जा गरे र यसका राजासहित त्यहाँ भएका सबैलाई तरवारले मारे । तिनले यसमा भएका सबैलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे । तिनले कसैलाई पनि जीवित छोडेनन् । तिनले मक्केदाका राजालाई यरीहोका राजालाई झैँ गरे ।
The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 यहोशू र सारा इस्राएल मक्केदाबाट लिब्नातिर गए । तिनले लिब्नाविरुद्ध लडे ।
And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:
30 परमप्रभुले यसलाई उनीहरूका राजासहित इस्राएलको हातमा दिनुभयो । यहोशूले यसलाई र यसमा भएका सबैलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे । तिनले यसमा कसैलाई जीवित छाडेनन् । तिनले यसका राजालाई यरीहोका राजालाई झैँ गरे ।
And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
31 यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएल लिब्नाबाट लाकीशतिर अगि बढे । तिनले यसको नजिकै छाउनी हाले र यसविरुद्ध लडे ।
From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.
32 परमप्रभुले लाकीशलाई इस्राएलको हातमा दिनुभयो । यहोशूले यसलाई दोस्रो दिनमा कब्जा गरे र तिनले लिब्नालाई गरेजस्तै यसलाई र यसमा भएका सबैलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे ।
And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.
33 त्यसपछि गेजेरका राजा होराम लाकीशलाई सहायता गर्न आए । यहोशूले उनलाई र उनीसँग भएका फौजलाई एक जना पनि जीवित नराखी आक्रमण गरे ।
At that time Horam king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people, so as to leave none alive.
34 त्यसपछि यहोशू र सारा इस्राएल लाकीशबाट एग्लोनतिर अगि बढे । तिनीहरूले यसको नजिकै छाउनी हाले र यसविरुद्ध युद्ध गरे,
And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,
35 र त्यसै दिन यसलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले यसलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे र यहोशूले लाकीशलाई गरे झैँ यसमा भएका सबैलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे ।
And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.
36 त्यसपछि यहोशू र सारा इस्राएल एग्लोनबाट हेब्रोनतिर अगि बढे । तिनीहरूले यसविरुद्ध युद्ध गरे ।
He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:
37 तिनीहरूले यसलाई, यसका राजा, यसका गाउँहरू र यसमा भएका सबैलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे । तिनीहरूले यसमा कसैलाई जीवित छाडेनन् । तिनीहरूले एग्लोनलाई जे गरेका थिए, तिनीहरूले यसलाई र यसमा भएका हरेकलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे ।
Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
38 त्यसपछि यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै फौज फर्के र तिनीहरू दबीरतिर लागे र यसविरुद्ध युद्ध गरे ।
Returning from thence to Dabir,
39 तिनीहरूले यसलाई, यसका राजा र यस नजिकका सबै गाउँलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई तरवारले प्रहार गरे र यसमा भएका हरेकलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे । तिनीहरूले कसैलाई पनि जीवित छाडेनन् । तिनीहरूले लिब्नालाई र यसका राजालाई र हेब्रोनलाई गरेझैँ दबीरलाई पनि गरे ।
He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.
40 यहोशूले पहाडी देश, नेगेव, समथर भूमि र पहाडहरूका सबै भूमिमाथि विजय हासिल गरे । उनीहरूका कुनै पनि राजा जीवित रहेनन् । परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएजस्तै तिनले सबै थोकलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारे ।
So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,
41 यहोशूले कादेश-बर्नेदेखि गाजासम्म र गोशेनदेखि गोबोनसम्म सब देशलाई प्रहार गरे ।
From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon,
42 यहशूले यी सबै राजा र उनीहरूका भूमिलाई एकै पटकमा कब्जा गरे, किनभने परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमश्वर इस्राएलको पक्षमा युद्ध गर्नुभयो ।
And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him.
43 त्यसपछि यहोशू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै इस्राएल गिलगालको छाउनीमा फर्के ।
And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal.
