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 ।
Therefore, after all the kings of the Amorites, who were living across the Jordan toward the western region, and all the kings of Canaan, who possessed the places beside the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel, until they crossed over it, their heart was broken, and there remained in them no spirit, out of fear at the entrance of the sons of Israel.
2 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बना र इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको फेरि एक पटक खतना गर् ।”
So at that time, the Lord said to Joshua: “Make for yourself knives of stone, and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.”
3 त्यसपछि यहोशू आफैले ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बनाए र तिनले इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको गिबियथ-हाअरालोथमा खतना गरे ।
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्ने कारण थियोः युद्ध गर्ने पुरुषहरूलगायत मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुष मिश्रबाट आएपछि मरुभूमिको यात्रामा मरेका थिए ।
Now this is the reason for the second circumcision: All the people who departed from Egypt of the male gender, all the men fit for war, died in the desert during the very long wandering way;
5 तथापि मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुषको खतना भएको थियो, र मिश्रबाट आउँदा मरुभूमिमा जन्मेका कुनै पनि पुरुषको खतना भएको थिएन ।
all these had been circumcised. But the people who were born in the desert,
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 ।
throughout the forty years of the journey in the very broad wilderness, were uncircumcised, until the ones who had not listened to the voice of the Lord were consumed. For he had sworn to them before, that he would not reveal to them the 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 ।
The sons of these ones succeeded to the place of their fathers, and they were circumcised by Joshua. For they were uncircumcised, just as they had been born, and no one had circumcised them along the way.
8 जब तिनीहरू सबैको खतना भयो, तिनीहरू निको नभएसम्म तिनीहरू त्यहीँ नै रहे ।
Then, after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp until 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, “Today I have taken away from you the disgrace of Egypt.” And the name of that place was called Gilgal, even to the present day.
10 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिलगालमा छाउनी हाले । तिनीहरूले त्यही महिनाको चौधौँ दिनको साँझ यरीहोको मैदानमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
And the sons of Israel stayed at Gilgal, and they kept the Passover, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the plains of Jericho.
11 निस्तार-चाडपछि त्यसै दिन तिनीहरूले त्यो भूमिको केही उब्जनीबाट अखमिरी रोटी र भुटेको अन्न खाए ।
And on the following day, they ate unleavened bread from the grain of the land, and cooked grain, of the same year.
12 तिनीहरूले त्यस भूमिको उब्जनीबाट खाएपछि त्यही दिन मन्न रोकियो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति कुनै मन्न थिएन, तर तिनीहरूले त्यस वर्ष कनानको भूमिको उब्जनीबाट खाए ।
And the manna ceased after they ate from the grain of the land. And the sons of Israel no longer made use of that food. Instead, they ate from the grain of the present year, from the land of Canaan.
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 when Joshua was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and he saw a man standing opposite him, holding a drawn sword. And he went to him and said, “Are you one of ours, or one of our adversaries?”
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 responded: “Not at all. Instead, I am a prince of the host of the Lord, and now I have arrived.” Joshua fell prone on the ground. And reverencing, he said, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
15 परमप्रभुको फौजका सेनापतिले यहोशूलाई भने, “तेरो खुट्टाको जुत्ता फुकाल्, किनभने तँ उभिरहेको ठाउँ पवित्र छ ।” यहोशूले त्यसै गरे ।
He said: “Remove your shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy.” And Joshua did just as he had been commanded.
