यहोशू 2

1 नूनका छोरा यहोशूले शित्तीमबाट दुई जना मानिसलाई जासुसको रूपमा पठाए । तिनले भने, “जाओ, त्यो भूमिलाई हेर, विशेष गरी यरीहोलाई हेर ।” तिनीहरू गए र राहब नाउँ गरेकी वेश्याकहाँ आए र तिनीहरू त्यहीँ बास बसे ।

And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.

2 यरीहोका राजालाई यसो भनियो, “हेर्नुहोस्, यस भूमिको भेद पत्ता लगाउन इस्राएलका मानिसहरू यहाँ आएका छन् ।”

And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.

3 यरीहोका राजाले राहबकहाँ खबर पठाए र भने, “तिमीकहाँ आउने ती मानिसहरूलाई बाहिर लेऊ, जो तिम्रो घरमा प्रवेश गरेका थिए, किनभने तिनीहरू सारा भूमिको जासुस गर्न आएका छन् ।”

And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.

4 तर ती महिलाले ती दुई जना मानिसलाई लगेर लुकाएकी थिइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “हो, मानिसहरू मकहाँ आएका थिए, तर तिनीहरू कहाँबाट आएका थिए, मलाई थाहा भएन ।

And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.

5 तिनीहरू सहरको प्रवेशद्वार बन्द गर्ने समय हुँदा साँझपख गए । तिनीहरू कता गए मलाई थाहा भएन । तपाईंहरू छिटो-छिटो जानुभयो भने सम्भवतः तपाईंहरूले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टाउनु हुनेछ ।”

And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.

6 तर तिनले तिनीहरूलाई कौसीमा लगेकी थिइन् र तिनले कौसीमाथि थुपारेकी सनको डाँठहरूमुनि लुकाएकी थिइन् ।

And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.

7 त्यसैले ती मानिसहरू यर्दनको जाँघरहरूतिर जाने बाटो हुँदै तिनीहरूको पिछा गरे । ती पिछा गर्नेहरू जाने बित्तिकै प्रवेशद्वार बन्द गरियो ।

And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.

8 ती मानिसहरू राति सुत्‍नुअगि नै तिनी कौसीमाथि तिनीहरूकहाँ आइन् ।

And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.

9 तिनले भनिन्, “मलाई थाहा छ, परमप्रभुले यो भूमि तपाईंहरूलाई दिनुभएको छ र तपाईंहरूको डर हामीमाथि आइपरेको छ । यो भूमिमा बस्‍ने सबै मानिस तपाईंहरूको सामु शिथिल हुने छन् ।

And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.

10 तपाईंहरू मिश्रबाट आउनुहुँदा परमप्रभुले लाल समुद्रको पानी कसरी सुकाउनुभयो भनी हामीले सुनेका छौँ । तपाईंहरूले यर्दन पारिका दुई जना एमोरी राजाहरू सीहोन र ओगलाई के गर्नुभयो भनेर पनि हामीले सुनेका छौँ ।

For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.

11 हामीले यो सुन्‍ने बित्तिकै हाम्रा हृदय शिथिल भए, कसैसँग पनि साहस रहेन, किनभने परमप्रभु तपाईंहरूका परमेश्‍वर नै माथि स्वर्गमा र तल पृथ्वीमा परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।

And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.

12 बिन्ती छ, मैले जसरी तपाईंहरूलाई दया गरेको छु त्यसरी नै तपाईंहरूले पनि मेरो पिताको घरानालाई दयापूर्वक व्यवहार गर्नुहुने छ भनी परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खानुहोस् । मलाई एउटा चिन्ह दिनुहोस्,

And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.

13 कि तपाईंहरूले मेरा बुबा, आमा, दाजुभाइहरू, दिदी-बहिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका सबै परिवारको जीवन बचाउनुहुने छ र तपाईंहरूले हामीलाई मृत्युबाट जोगाउनुहुने छ ।

And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.

14 ती मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “मृत्युसम्म नै तिमीहरूको जीवनको सट्टामा हाम्रो जीवन! यदि तिमीले हाम्रो कामबारे बताएनौ भने, जब परमप्रभुले यो भूमि हामीलाई दिनुहुने छ हामी तिमीसँग दयालु र विश्‍वासयोग्य हुने छौँ ।”

And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.

15 त्यसैले तिनले डोरीको सहायताले तिनीहरूलाई झ्यालबाट तल झारे । तिनी बसोवास गर्ने घर सहरको पर्खालभित्र नै बनाइएको थियो ।

And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.

16 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “पहाडतिर जानुहोस् र लुक्‍नुहोस्, नत्र पिछा गर्नेहरूले तपाईंहरूलाई भेट्टाउने छन् । पिछा गर्नेहरू नफर्केसम्म तिन दिनसम्म त्यहीँ लुक्‍नुहोस् । अनि आफ्नो बाटो लाग्‍नुहोस् ।”

And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.

17 ती मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “यदि तिमीले यो कुरा गरेनौ भने हामीले तिमीलाई गरेका प्रतिज्ञाहरू लागु हुने छैनन् ।

And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.

18 हामी यो भूमिमा आउँदा तिमीले हामी जुन झ्यालबाट झरेका थियौँ त्यहीँ नै यो रातो डोरी बाँध्‍नुपर्छ र तिमीले तिम्रा बुबा, आमा, तिम्रा दाजुभाइहरू र तिम्रा बुबाका सबै घरानालाई घरभित्र ल्याउनुपर्छ ।

Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.

19 तिम्रो घरबाहिर बाटोतिर जानेहरूको रगत तिनीहरूको शिरमाथि पर्ने छ र हामी दोषरहित हुने छौँ । तर घरमा तिमीसँगै रहने कुनै माथि हात लगाइयो भने, त्यसको रगत हाम्रो शिरमा पर्ने छ ।

And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.

20 तर यदि तिमीले हाम्रा कामहरूबारे बतायौ भने, तिमीले हामीलाई खान लगाएको शपथबाट हामी मुक्‍त हुने छौँ ।

And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.

21 राहबले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंहरूले भन्‍नुभएबमोजिम नै होस् ।” तिनले तिनीहरूलाई पठाए र तिनीहरू गए । अनि तिनले झ्यालमा त्यो रातो डोरी बाँधिन् ।

And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.

22 तिनीहरू गए र पहाडतिर गए अनि तिनीहरूको पिछा गर्नेहरू नफर्केसम्म तिनीहरू तिन दिनसम्म त्यहीँ नै बसे । पिछा गर्नेहरूले बाटोमा सबैतिर खोजे र केही पनि भेट्टाएनन् ।

And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].

23 ती दुई जना मानिस फर्के र नूनका छोरा यहोशूकहाँ आए र तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि आइपरेका सबै कुरा तिनलाई बताए ।

And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.

24 तिनीहरूले यहोशूलाई भने, “साँच्‍चै, यो भूमि परमप्रभुले हामीलाई दिनुभएको छ । त्यो भूमिका सबै बासिन्दा हाम्रो कारणले शिथिल भइरहेका छन् ।”

And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
