यहोशू 13

1 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई यसो भन्‍नुहुँदा तिनी धेरै वृद्ध भएका थिए, “तँ धैरै वृद्ध भइस्, तर कब्जा गर्न बाँकी अझै धेरै भूमि छन् ।

When Joshua was very old, Yahweh said to him, “Joshua, you are now an old man, but there is still a lot of land [for your army] to capture.

2 अझै बाँकी रहेका भूमि यिनै हुन्ः पलिश्‍तीहरू र गशूरीहरूका सबै, मिश्रको पूर्वतिर पर्ने

Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;

3 शिहपरदेखि उत्तरतिर एक्रोनको सिमानासम्म, जसलाई कनानीहरूको सम्पत्ति ठानिन्छ; गाजा, अश्दोद, अश्‍कलोन, गात र एक्रोनका पाँच जना पलिश्‍ति शासकहरू र अव्वीहरूका क्षेत्र ।

the area where the Canaan people-group live, from the Shihor River [in the south] at the [eastern] border of Egypt, to Ekron [city] in the north; the rulers of the five [cities] of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the area where the Avva people-group live,

4 दक्षिणमा (अव्वीहरूका क्षेत्र); कनानीहरूका सबै भूमि, सीदोनीहरूको अधीनमा भएका आरादेखि मोरिहरूको सिमानामा भएको अपेकसम्म;

which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;

5 गबालीहरूको भूमि, पूर्वतिरका सबै लेबनान, हर्मोन डाँडामुनि बाल-गाददेखि लेबो-हमातसम्म ।

the area where the Gebal people-group live; and all the Lebanon area east of Baal-Gad [city] at the bottom of Hermon Mountain, as far as Lebo-Hamath.

6 साथै, लेबनानदेखि पहाडी देशका सबै बासिन्दादेखि सीदोनका सबै मानिसलगायत मिस्रपोतमैमसम्म । म उनीहरूलाई इस्राएलको फौजको सामु धपाउने छु । मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेबमोजिम इस्राएललाई त्यो भूमि उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा बाँडिदे ।

All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.

7 यो भूमिलाई नौ कुल र मनश्शेको आधा कुलको निम्ति उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा बाँडी दे ।”

Divide all that land among the nine Israeli tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, [the tribes that do not have land on the east side of the Jordan River].”

8 मनश्शेको आधा कुल, रूबेनीहरू र गादीहरूले तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकार प्राप्‍त गरेका छन् जुन मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका यर्दनको पूर्वतिर, अर्नोन नदीको घाँटीको किनारामा भएको

Half of the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already been told what land they would receive, because Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had already assigned to them the land on the east side of the Jordan [River].

9 अरोएरदेखि (घाँटीको माझमा भएको सहरलगायत), दीबोनसम्मका मेदबाको टार;

Their land extended from Aroer [town] at the Arnon River gorge to the town in the middle of the gorge. It included the whole plain from Medeba [town south] to Dibon [town].

10 सीहोनका सबै सहर, एमोरीहरूका राजा, जसले हेश्बोनमा शासन गरे, अम्मोनीहरूको सिमानासम्म;

All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.

11 गिलाद, गशूरीहरू र माकातीहरूको प्रदेश, सबै हेर्मोन डाँडा, सलकासम्मका सबै बाशान;

The Gilead area was also there, and the regions where the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups lived, and all of Hermon Mountain and all the Bashan region [south] to Salecah.

12 बाशानको ओगका सबै अधिराज्य, जसले अस्तारोत र अद्रईमा शासन गरे, मोशाले उनीहरूलाई प्रहार गरी धपाउँदा बाँकी रहेकाहरू यिनीहरू नै हुन् ।

All the land ruled by Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], was in that land. Og was one of the last descendants of Repha; previously he had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities], but [the armies of] Moses had defeated their armies and had taken their land from them.

13 तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गशूरीहरू र माकातीहरूलाई धपाएनन् । बरु, गशूर र माकात आजको दिनसम्म पनि इस्राएलको माझमा बसोबास गर्छन् ।

But the Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah [people-groups] to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.

14 मोशालाई लेवीका कुललाई मात्र उत्तराधिकार दिएनन् । परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍‌वरका बलिदानहरू, आगोद्वारा चढाइएका बलिदानहरू परमेश्‍‌वरले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभएझैँ तिनीहरूका उत्तराधिकार हुन् ।

The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive [food from] the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worship], the sacrifices that were burned [on the sacred altar].

15 मोशाले रूबेनको कुललाई कुल-कुलअनुसार उत्तराधिकार दिए ।

Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.

16 तिनीहरूको भाग अर्नोन नदीको घाँटीको किनारमा पर्ने अरोएर र उपत्यकाको माझमा पर्ने सहरदेखि मेदबासम्मको सबै समथल भू-भाग थियो ।

Their land extended from Aroer [town] near the Arnon River gorge to Medeba [town]. That included all of the plain [that is near Medeba] and the town in the middle of the gorge.

17 रूबेनले हेश्बोन र समथल भू-भागमा रहेका यसका सबै सहर, दीबोन र बमोत-बाल, र बेथ-बाल-मोन,

It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,

18 रयहसा, लदेमोत, मेपात,

Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

19 र किर्यातैम, सिब्मा, उपत्याकको डाँडा रहेको सेरेथशेहार पनि प्राप्‍त गरे ।

Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,

20 रूबेनले यी पनि प्राप्‍त गरेः बेथ-पोर, पिसगाको भीरालो भू-भाग, बेथ-यसीमोत,

Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.

21 समथर भू-भागका सबै सहर, र एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोनका सबै अधिराज्य, जसले हेश्बोनमा शासन गरेका थिए, जसलाई मोशाले मिद्यानका अगुवाहरू, एवी, रेकेम, सूर, हूर र रेबाका अगुवाहरूसँगै हराएका थिए, सीहोनका शासकहरू जो त्यो भू-भागमा बस्थे ।

That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But [the army of] Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.

22 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मारेकाहरूमध्ये टुनामुना गर्ने बोरका छोरा बालामलाई पनि मारे ।

The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, [the prophet] from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.

23 रूबेनको कुलको सिमाना यर्दन नदी हो । यो तिनीहरूको सिमाना हो । यो रूबेनका वंशलाई तिनीहरूका कुल-कुलअनुसार तिनीहरूका सहरहरू र गाउँहरूसहित दिइएको उत्तराधिकार थियो ।

The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].

24 मोशाले गादका कुललाई कुल-कुलअनुसार यी दिएः

Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.

25 तिनीहरूका क्षेत्र याजेर, गिलादका सबै सहर र अम्‍मोनीहरूको आधा भू-भाग, रब्बाको पूर्वतिरको अरोएर,

Their land included the Jazer [area] and all the towns of the Gilead [area]; half of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, as far as Aroer [town which is] near Rabbah [town];

26 हेश्बोनदेखि रामतमस्पा र बेतोनीमसम्म, महनोमदेखि दबीरको क्षेत्रसम्म ।

the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;

27 उपत्यका, मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई बेथ-हाराम, बेथ-निम्रा सुक्‍कोत, सापोन, होश्‍बोनका राजा सीहोनका बाँकी राज्य, साथै यर्दनलाई सिमानाको रूपमा, किन्‍नरेत समुद्रको तल्लो भागहरू, यर्दनभन्दा पर पूर्वतिरका भू-भाग दिए ।

Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon [cities] in the valley; and the other area that King Sihon had ruled on the east side of the Jordan River. That area extended [north] to the southern end of Galilee Lake.

28 यो गादको कुलको कुल-कुलअनुसारको तिनीहरूका सहरहरू र गाउँहरूसहित उत्तराधिकार हो ।

All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.

29 मोशाले मनश्शेका आधा कुललाई उत्तराधिकार दिए । यो मनश्शेका कुललाई कुल-कुलअनुसार दिइएको थियो ।

Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.

30 तिनीहरूका क्षेत्र महनोमदेखि, बाशानसम्म, बाशानका राजा ओगका सम्पूर्ण राज्य, याईरका सबै नगर, जुन बाशानमा छन्, साठीवटा सहर;

Their land extended [north] from Mahanaim [city]. It included all the Bashan region, all the land that King Og had ruled, and all the towns in the Jair area in Bashan. Altogether that area included 60 towns.

31 गिलादको आधा भाग, र अस्तारोत र एद्रई (बशानमा ओगका राजकीय सहरहरू)। यिनीहरू माकीरको कुल-कुलअनुसार मनश्शेका छोरा माकीरको कुललाई दिइएको थियो ।

Their area also included half of the Gilead region, and the cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei where King Og had ruled. All that area was allotted to the clans descended from Manasseh’s son Makir.

32 यो मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई यर्दनपारि पूर्वतिर दिएका उत्तराधिकार हो ।

Moses had allotted to those tribes the land that was on the plain of the Moab [region], on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.

33 मोशाले लेवीहरूलाई उत्तराधिकार दिएनन् । परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍‌वरले भन्‍नुभएझैँ उहाँ नै तिनीहरूका उत्तराधिकार हुनुहुन्छ ।

But Moses did not allot any land to the tribe of Levi because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, promised that he himself would always provide for them.
