यहोशू 23
1 परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूको वरिपरि भएका तिनीहरूका सबै शत्रुबाट विश्राम दिनुभएको धेरै समयपछि यहोशू वृद्ध भइसकेका थिए ।
And it came to pass after many days after the Lord had given Israel rest from all his enemies round about, that Joshua was old and advanced in years.
2 यहोशूले इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू, अगुवाहरू, न्यायकर्ताहरू सबैलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म निकै वृद्ध भइसकेको छु ।
And Joshua called together all the children of Israel, and their elders, and their chiefs, and their judges, and their officers; and said to them, I am old and advanced in years.
3 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका खातिर यी सबै जातिलाई गर्नुभएका सबै कुरा तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ, किनभने तिमीहरूका निम्ति लड्नुहुने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
And you have seen all that the Lord our God has done to all these nations before us; [for it] is the Lord your God who has fought for you.
4 हेर, मैले तिमीहरूलाई पश्चिममा यर्दनदेखि महासमुद्रसम्म पहिले नै नष्ट पारेका जातिहरूका साथै तिमीहरूका कुलहरूका निम्ति उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा हुन विजय हासिल गर्न बाँकी रहेका जातिहरू तिमीहरूलाई दिएको छु ।
See, that I have given to you these nations that are left to you by lots to your tribes, all the nations beginning at Jordan; and [some] I have destroyed; and the boundaries shall be at the great sea westward.
5 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई धपाउनुहुने छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका खातिर फ्याँक्नुहुने छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूको भू-भाग कब्जा गर्नुहुने छ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको भूमि अधीन गर्ने छौ ।
And the Lord our God, he shall destroy them before us, until they utterly perish; and he shall send against them the wild beasts, until he shall have utterly destroyed them and their kings from before you; and you shall inherit their land, as the Lord our God said to you.
6 त्यसैले निकै बलियो होओ, ताकि मोशाको व्यवस्थाबाट न त दहिने न त देब्रेतिर नलागी सबै पालन गर ।
Do you therefore strive diligently to observe and do all things written in the book of the law of Moses, that you turn not to the right hand or to the left;
7 त्यसैले तिमीहरू तिमीहरूका माझमा रहेका जातिहरूसँग नमिसिओ वा तिनीहरूका देवताहरूको नाउँ उच्चारण नगर, तिनीहरूको शपथ नखाओ, तिनीहरूको आराधना नगर वा तिनीहरूलाई दण्डवत् नगर ।
that you go not in among these nations that are left; and the names of their gods shall not be named among you, neither shall you serve them, neither shall you bow down to them.
8 बरु, तिमीहरूले आजको दिनसम्म गरेझैँ तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमश्वरमा नै रहिरहो ।
But you shall cleave to the Lord our God, as you have done until this day.
9 किनभने परमप्रभुले ठुलो र बलियो जातिहरूलाई तिमीहरूको सामु धपाउनुभएको छ, आजको दिनसम्म कोही तिमीहरूको सामु खडा हुन सकेको छैन ।
And the Lord shall destroy them before you, [even] great and strong nations; and no one has stood before us until this day.
10 तिमीहरूमध्ये एक जनाले हजार जनालाई भगाउनेछ, किनभने तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँ तिमीहरूका निम्ति लड्नुहुने छ ।
One of you has chased a thousand, for the Lord our God, he fought for you, as he said to us.
11 विशेष ध्यान देऊ, ताकि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई प्रेम गर
And take you great heed to love the Lord our God.
12 तर यदि तिमीहरू तिमीहरूमाझ बाँकी रहेका यी जातिहरूसँग लाग्यौ र पछि हट्यौ भने वा यदि तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूसँग अन्तर-जातीय विवाह गर्यौ भने वा यदि तिमीहरू उनीहरूसँगै आयौ र उनीहरू तिमीहरूसँग सबै आए भने,
For if you shall turn aside and attach yourselves to these nations that are left with you, and make marriages with them, and become mingled with them and they with you,
13 यो जान कि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरू माझबाट यी जातिहरूलाई धपाउनुहुने छैन । बरु, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको यो असल भूमिबाट तिमीहरू नष्ट नभएसम्म उनीहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति पासो र जाल अनि तिमीहरूका पीठमा कोर्रा, तिमीहरूका आँखाका कसिङ्गर हुने छन् ।
know that the Lord will no more destroy these nations from before you; and they will be to you snares and stumbling blocks, and nails in your heels, and darts in your eyes, until you be destroyed from off this good land, which the Lord your God has given you.
14 म सबै पृथ्वीको मार्गमा जाँदै छु, र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूको बारेमा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको कुनै पनि असल कुरा सत्य साबित हुन एक शब्द पनि चुकेको छैन भनी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो सारा ह्रदय र आफ्नो सारा प्राणले जान्दछौ । यी सबै कुरा तिमीहरूका निम्ति पुरा भएका छन् । तिनमा एउटै पनि चुकेको छैन ।
But I hasten to go the way [of death], as all that are upon the earth also [do]: and you know in your heart and in your soul, that not one word has fallen [to the ground] of all the words which the Lord our God has spoken respecting all that concerns us; there has not one of them failed.
15 तर जसरी परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै वचन पुरा भएको छ, त्यसरी नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको यो असल भूमिबाट तिमीहरूलाई नष्ट नगरेसम्म परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूमाथि सबै खराबी ल्याउनुहुने छ ।
And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon us which the Lord God will bring upon you all the evil things, until he shall have destroyed you from off this good land, which the Lord has given you,
16 यदि तिमीहरूले पालन गर्न तिमीहरूलाई उहाँले आज्ञा गर्नुभएको परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको करार तोड्यौ भने, उहाँले यो गर्नुहुने छ । यदि तिमीहरू जान्छौ र अरू देवताहरूको आराधना गर्छौ र दण्डवत् गर्छौ भने, परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिमीहरूविरुद्ध दन्किने छ र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको असल भूमिबाट तिमीहरू चाँडै नष्ट हुने छौ ।”
when you transgress the covenant of the Lord our God, which he has charged us, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to them.
