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 all the kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.

2 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बना र इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको फेरि एक पटक खतना गर् ।”

At that time, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, —and again circumcise the sons of Israel, a second time.

3 त्यसपछि यहोशू आफैले ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बनाए र तिनले इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको गिबियथ-हाअरालोथमा खतना गरे ।

So Joshua made him knives of flint, —and circumcised the sons of Israel, at the Hill of 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 cause why Joshua did circumcise, —all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, died in the desert, by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.

5 तथापि मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुषको खतना भएको थियो, र मिश्रबाट आउँदा मरुभूमिमा जन्मेका कुनै पनि पुरुषको खतना भएको थिएन ।

For, though all the people who came forth had been circumcised, yet, all the people who were born in the desert by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt, had they not circumcised.

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 ।

Because, for forty years, did the sons of Israel journey in the desert, until all the nation who were men of war, who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, —unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not let them see the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, that he would give unto us, 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 ।

Their sons, therefore, whom he had raised up in their stead, them, did Joshua circumcise, —for, uncircumcised, they were, in that they had not circumcised them by the way.

8 जब तिनीहरू सबैको खतना भयो, तिनीहरू निको नभएसम्म तिनीहरू त्यहीँ नै रहे ।

And so it came to pass, when they had made an end of circumcising all the nation, they remained in their place, in 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 ।

Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, To-day, have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place is called Gilgal ["a rolling away"]unto this day.

10 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिलगालमा छाउनी हाले । तिनीहरूले त्यही महिनाको चौधौँ दिनको साँझ यरीहोको मैदानमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।

Thus then the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal, —and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the waste plains of Jericho.

11 निस्तार-चाडपछि त्यसै दिन तिनीहरूले त्यो भूमिको केही उब्जनीबाट अखमिरी रोटी र भुटेको अन्‍न खाए ।

And they did eat of the corn of the land, on the morrow of the passover, unleavened cakes and parched ears of corn, —on this selfsame day.

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 on the morrow, when they had eaten of the corn of the land, neither had the sons of Israel manna any more, —so they did eat of the yield of the land of Canaan throughout 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, while Joshua was at Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man standing over against him, with his sword drawn, in his hand, —so Joshua went unto him, and said to him, For us, art thou, or for 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 said—Nay, but, I, as prince of the host of Yahweh, have, now, come. So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said unto him, What is my lord speaking unto his servant?

15 परमप्रभुको फौजका सेनापतिले यहोशूलाई भने, “तेरो खुट्टाको जुत्ता फुकाल्, किनभने तँ उभिरहेको ठाउँ पवित्र छ ।” यहोशूले त्यसै गरे ।

Then said the prince of the host of Yahweh unto Joshua—Slip off thy sandals from thy feet, for, as for the place whereon thou art standing, holy, it is. And Joshua did so.
