यहोशू 5
1 यर्दनको पश्चिमतिरका एमोरी राजाहरू र भूमध्य सागरको तटतिर कनानी राजाहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यर्दन नतरेसम्म यर्दनको पानी सुकाउनुभएको थियो भन्ने सुन्ने बित्तिकै तिनीहरूको हृदय शिथिल भयो र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको कारण तिनीहरूमा कुनै आँट आएन ।
And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense in them because of the children of Israel.
2 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बना र इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको फेरि एक पटक खतना गर् ।”
And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make you stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.
3 त्यसपछि यहोशू आफैले ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बनाए र तिनले इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको गिबियथ-हाअरालोथमा खतना गरे ।
And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the “Hill of Foreskins.”
4 यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्ने कारण थियोः युद्ध गर्ने पुरुषहरूलगायत मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुष मिश्रबाट आएपछि मरुभूमिको यात्रामा मरेका थिए ।
And [this is] the way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that came out of Egypt,
5 तथापि मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुषको खतना भएको थियो, र मिश्रबाट आउँदा मरुभूमिमा जन्मेका कुनै पनि पुरुषको खतना भएको थिएन ।
all these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—
6 मिश्रबाट निस्केर आएका सबै पुरुष अर्थात् युद्ध गर्ने सबै पुरुष नमरेसम्म इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मरुभूमिमा हिँडिरहे, किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको आवाज पालन गरेनन् । परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खालाई हामीलाई दिन्छु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको भूमि अर्थात् दूध र मह बग्ने भूमि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई देख्न दिनुहुन्थ्यो भनी शपथ खानुभएको थियो ।
Therefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 यहोशूले खतना गरेका मानिसहरू परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सट्टामा उठाउनुभएका तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू थिए, किनभने तिनीहरूको त्यस किसिमले खतना भएको थिएन ।
And in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.
8 जब तिनीहरू सबैको खतना भयो, तिनीहरू निको नभएसम्म तिनीहरू त्यहीँ नै रहे ।
And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.
9 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “आजको दिन मैले मिश्रको अपमान तिमीहरूबाट हटाएको छु ।” त्यसैले, त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ वर्तमानसम्म पनि गिलगाल राखिएको छ ।
And the Lord said to Joshua the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.
10 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिलगालमा छाउनी हाले । तिनीहरूले त्यही महिनाको चौधौँ दिनको साँझ यरीहोको मैदानमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
And the children of Israel kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.
11 निस्तार-चाडपछि त्यसै दिन तिनीहरूले त्यो भूमिको केही उब्जनीबाट अखमिरी रोटी र भुटेको अन्न खाए ।
And they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].
12 तिनीहरूले त्यस भूमिको उब्जनीबाट खाएपछि त्यही दिन मन्न रोकियो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति कुनै मन्न थिएन, तर तिनीहरूले त्यस वर्ष कनानको भूमिको उब्जनीबाट खाए ।
In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.
13 यहोशू यरीहोको नजिक हुँदा तिनले माथि हेरे र हेर, एउटा मानिस तिनको सामु उभिरहेका थिए । तिनको हातमा नाङ्गो तरवार थियो । यहोशू तिनीकहाँ गएर सोधे, “तपाईं हाम्रो वा हाम्रा शत्रुको पक्षमा हुनुहुन्छ?”
And it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and [there was] a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Are you for us or on the side of our enemies?
14 तिनले भने, “कुनै पक्षको होइन । किनभने म परमप्रभुको फौजको सेनापति हुँ । अहिले म आएको छु ।” अनि यहोशूले जमिनमा घोप्टो परेर आराधना गरे र तिनलाई भने, “मेरा मालिकले उहाँको दासलाई के भन्नुहुन्छ?”
And he said to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what command you your servant?
15 परमप्रभुको फौजका सेनापतिले यहोशूलाई भने, “तेरो खुट्टाको जुत्ता फुकाल्, किनभने तँ उभिरहेको ठाउँ पवित्र छ ।” यहोशूले त्यसै गरे ।
And the captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe off your feet, for the place whereon you now stand is holy.
