यहोशू 3
1 यहोशू बिहान सबेरै उठे र तिनीहरू शित्तीमबाट हिँडे । तिनीहरू यर्दनमा आए अनि, तिनी र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले पारि जानअगि त्यहीँ नै छाउनी हाले ।
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and departed from Sattin; and they came as far as Jordan, and lodged there before they crossed over.
2 तिन दिनपछि अधिकृतहरू छाउनीको बिच-बिचतिर गए;
And it came to pass after three days, [that] the scribes went through the camp;
3 तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे, “जब तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको करारको सन्दुक र लेवी कुलका पुजारीहरूले यसलाई बोकिरहेका देख्छौ, तिमीहरूले यो ठाउँलाई छोड्नुपर्छ र यसको पछि-पछि जानुपर्छ ।
and they charged the people, saying, When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord our God, and our priests and the Levites bearing it, you shall depart from your places, and you shall go after it.
4 तिमीहरू र यसको बिचमा एक हजार मिटर फरक हुनुपर्छ । यसको नजिक नआओ, ताकि कुन बाटो जानुपर्ने हो, सो तिमीहरूले देख्न सक्ने छौ, किनभने तिमीहरू यो बाटोमा यसअगि हिँडेका छैनौ ।”
But let there be a distance between you and it; you shall stand as much as two thousand cubits [from it]. Do not draw near to it, that you may know the way which you are to go; for you have not gone the way before.
5 यहोशूले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “भोलिको निम्ति आ-आफूलाई शुद्ध पार, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूमाझ अचम्मका कामहरू गर्नुहुने छ ।”
And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
6 योहोशूले पुजारीहरूलाई भने, “करारको सन्दुक लेओ र मानिसहरूको अगिअगि जाओ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले करारको सन्दुक उठाए र मानिसहरूको अगिअगि गए ।
And Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and go before the people: and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and went before the people.
7 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “आज म तँलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको नजरमा महान् व्यक्ति बनाउने छु । म जसरी मोशासँग थिएँ, त्यसै गरी म तँसँग पनि छु भनी तिनीहरूले जान्ने छन् ।
And the Lord said to Joshua, This day do I begin to exalt you before all the children of Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so will I also be with you.
8 तैँले करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने पुजारीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिने छस्, 'जब तिमीहरू यर्दनको पानीको छेउमा पुग्छौ, तिमीहरू यर्दन नदीमा नै उभिरहनुपर्छ' ।”
And now charge the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, As soon as you shall enter on a part of the water of Jordan, then you shall stand in Jordan.
9 अनि यहोशूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “यहाँ आओ, र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको वचन सुन ।
And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and listen to the word of the Lord our God.
10 परमेश्वर तिमीहरूमाझ हुनुहुन्छ र कनानीहरू, हित्तीहरू, हिव्वीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, गिर्गाशीहरू, एमोरीहरू र यबूसीहरूलाई तिमीहरूको अगिबाट धपाउनु हुनेछ भनी तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउने छौ ।
Hereby you shall know that the living God [is] among you, and will utterly destroy from before our face the Chananite, and the Chettite and Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Amorite, and the Gergesite, and the Jebusite.
11 हेर, सारा पृथ्वीका परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक यर्दन नदीमा तिमीहरूको अगिअगि जाने छ ।
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over Jordan.
12 अब इस्राएलका हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक जना गरी बाह्र जना मानिस छान ।
Choose for yourselves twelve men of the sons of Israel, one of each tribe.
13 जब सारा पृथ्वीका प्रभुहरूका परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने पुजारीहरूको खुट्टाले यर्दन नदीको पानी छुन्छ यर्दनको पानी रोकिने छ र माथिबाट तल बग्दै गरेको पानी पनि बग्न छोड्ने छ र त्यो एक थुप्रो भएर रहने छ ।
And it shall come to pass, when the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth rest in the water of Jordan, the water of Jordan [below] shall fail, and the water coming down from above shall stop.
14 त्यसैले जब मानिसहरू यर्दन पारि जानलाई हिँडे, पुजारीहरूले करारको सन्दुकलाई बोकेर मानिसहरूको अगिअगि गए ।
And the people removed from their tents to cross over Jordan, and the priests bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord before the people.
15 ती करारको सन्दुक बोक्नेहरू यर्दन नदीमा आउने र तिनीहरूका खुट्टाले पानी छुने बित्तिकै (कटनीको समयभरि नै यर्दन नदीको पानी यसको किनारासम्म पुग्छ)
And when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord entered upon Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were dipped in part of the water of Jordan; (now Jordan overflowed all its banks about the time of wheat harvest: )
16 माथिबाट तलतिर बग्दै गरेको पानी एक थुप्रो भई रोकियो ।
then the waters that came down from above stopped; there stood one solid heap very far off, as far as the region of Kariathiarim, and the lower part came down to the sea of Araba, the salt sea, till it completely failed; and the people stood opposite Jericho.
17 पानी निकै माथिदेखि नै बग्न छोड्यो । पानी सार्तान नजिकैको आदम नाम गरेको सहरबाट नेगेवको समुद्र अर्थात् मृत सागरसम्म नै बग्न छोड्यो । मानिसहरू यरीहो नजिकै पारि तरे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले सुक्खा भूमिमा पार नगरेसम्म परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक बोक्ने पुजारीहरू यर्दन नदीको बिचमा सुक्खा जमिनमा उभिए ।
And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood on dry land in the midst of Jordan; and all the children of Israel went through on dry land, until all the people had completely gone over Jordan.
