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 on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बना र इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको फेरि एक पटक खतना गर् ।”
At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again 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 him sharp knives, and circumcised the children 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 ।
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 तथापि मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुषको खतना भएको थियो, र मिश्रबाट आउँदा मरुभूमिमा जन्मेका कुनै पनि पुरुषको खतना भएको थिएन ।
Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth from Egypt, them they had 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 ।
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 यहोशूले खतना गरेका मानिसहरू परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सट्टामा उठाउनुभएका तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू थिए, किनभने तिनीहरूको त्यस किसिमले खतना भएको थिएन ।
And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 जब तिनीहरू सबैको खतना भयो, तिनीहरू निको नभएसम्म तिनीहरू त्यहीँ नै रहे ।
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places 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, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
10 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिलगालमा छाउनी हाले । तिनीहरूले त्यही महिनाको चौधौँ दिनको साँझ यरीहोको मैदानमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and 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 they ate of the old grain of the land on the next day after the passover, unleavened cakes, and roasted grain in the same 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 next day after they had eaten of the old grain of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan 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 by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Art thou for us, 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 as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord to his 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 thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place on which thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
