यहोशू 6
1 इस्राएलका फौजका कारण यरीहोतिरका सबै प्रवेशद्वारहरू बन्द थिए । कोही पनि बाहिर आउँदैनथ्यो र भित्र पस्दैनथ्यो ।
(Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.)
2 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, मैले यरीहोलाई यसको राजा र यसका तालिम प्राप्त सिपाहीहरूसहित तेरो हातमा सुम्पेको छु ।
And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.
3 तिमीहरूले सहरको फेरो मार्नुपर्छ, लडाइँमा जाने सबै मानिसले सहरलाई एक फेरो मार्नुपर्छ । तिमीहरूले छ दिनसम्म यसै गर्नू ।
Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.
4 सात जना पुजारीले सन्दुकको अगि सातवटा भेडाका सिङका सातवटा तुरही बोक्नुपर्छ । सातौँ दिनमा तिमीहरूले सहरलाई सात फेरो मार्नू र पुजारीहरूले तुरही फुक्नू ।
And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.
5 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले भेडाको सिङको सँगै लामो समयसम्म बजाउनुपर्छ र जब तिमीहरूले त्यो आवाज सुन्छौ सबै मानिस ठुलो स्वरमा कराउनुपर्छ, र सहरको पर्खाल जगसम्म नै ढल्ने छ । हरेक सिपाही सोझै अगि बढेर आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ ।”
And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.
6 अनि नूनका छोरा यहोशूले पुजारीहरूलाई बोलाएर तिनीहरूलाई भने, “करारको सन्दुक बोक, र सात जना पुजारीले परमप्रभुको सन्दुक अगिअगि भेडाका सातवटा सिङका तुरहीहरू बोकून् ।”
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord.
7 तिनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “जाओ र सहरको फन्को मार, अनि सशस्त्र मानिसहरू परमप्रभुको सन्दुकअगि जाने छन् ।”
And he said to the people, Go forward, circling the town, and let the armed men go before the ark of the Lord.
8 यहोशूले मानिसहरूलाई भनेजस्तै सात जना पुजारीले परमप्रभुको सामु भेडाका सिङहरूको सातवटा तुरही बोके । तिनीहरू अगि बढ्दा तिनीहरूले तुरहीहरू फुके । परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दुक तिनीहरूको पछिपछि थियो ।
So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.
9 सशस्त्र मानिसहरू पुजारीहरूको अगिअगि हिँडे र तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूका तुरहीहरू फुके, तर पछाडिका सुरक्षाकर्मीहरू सन्दुकको पछिपछि हिँडे र पुजारीहरूले तिनीहरूको तुरही निरन्तर रूपमा फुकिरहे ।
And the armed men went before the priests who were blowing the horns, and the mass of the people went after the ark, blowing their horns.
10 तर यहोशूले यसो भन्दै मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा दिए, “नकराओ । मैले कराउनू नभनेसम्म तिमीहरूको मुखबाट कुनै आवाज ननिस्कोस् । त्यसपछि मात्र कराओ ।”
And to the people Joshua gave an order, saying, You will give no cry, and make no sound, and let no word go out of your mouth till the day when I say, Give a loud cry; then give a loud cry.
11 त्यसैले तिनले परमप्रभुको सन्दुकलाई त्यस दिन सहरको वरिपरि एक पटक जान लगाए । अनि तिनीहरू छाउनी प्रवेश गरे र राति छाउनीमा नै बसे ।
So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.
12 यहोशू बिहान सबेरै उठे र पुजारीहरूले परमप्रभुको सन्दुक बोके ।
And early in the morning Joshua got up, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
13 परमप्रभुको सन्दुकअगि भेडाको सिङको सातवटा तुरही बोक्ने सात जना पुजारी लगातार हिँडिरहे र तुरही फुकिरहे । सशस्त्र सिपाहीहरू तिनीहरूको अगि हिँडिरहेका थिए । तर पछिल्तिरका सुरक्षाकर्मीहरू परमप्रभुको सन्दुकको पछिपछि हिँडे । त्यसपछि तुरही लगातार बजाइयो ।
And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.
14 तिनीहरूले दोस्रो दिन पनि सहरलाई एक फेरो लगाए र बिहानै छाउनीमा फर्के । तिनीहरूले छ दिनसम्म यसै गरे ।
The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for six days.
15 सातौँ दिनमा तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन पनि सहरको फेरो मारे । त्यस दिन तिनीहरूले सहर वरिपरि सात फन्को मारे ।
Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times.
16 जब सातौँ दिनमा पुजारीहरूले तुरही फुके यहोशूले मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा दिए, “कराओ! किनभने परमप्रभुले यो सहर तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
And the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town.
17 यो सहर र यसमा भएका सबै थोक विनाशको निम्ति परमप्रभुको लागि अलग गरिएको छ । राहाब र तिनको घरमा तिनीसँग भएकाहरू मात्र बाँच्ने छन्, किनभने तिनले हामीले पठाएका मानिसहरूलाई लुकाएकी थिइन् ।
And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent.
18 तर तिमीहरूचाहिँ विनाशको निम्ति अलग गरिएका थोकहरू लिने कुरामा सावधान होओ, ताकि तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई विनाशको निम्ति चिनो लगाओ, र तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूमध्ये कुनै पनि नलेओ । यदि तिमीहरूले यसो गरेनौ भने, तिमीहरूले इस्रएलको छाउनीलाई विनाश गरिनु पर्ने थोकजस्तै तुल्याउने छौ र तिमीहरूले यसमाथि कष्ट ल्याउने छौ ।
And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.
19 सबै चाँदी, सुन, र काँसाबाट बनेका थोकहरू अनि फलामलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिएको छ । ती सबै परमप्रभुको घरमा जानुपर्छ ।”
But all the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord.
20 जब तिनीहरूले तुरही फुके, मानिसहरू ठुलो स्वरमा कराए अनि पर्खाल जगसम्मै ढल्यो । त्यसैले हरेक मानिस सोझै अगि बढ्यो र सहर कब्जा गरियो ।
So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.
21 तिनीहरूले सहरमा भएका पुरुष र महिला, जवान र वृद्ध, गोरु, भेडा र गधाहरूलाई तरवारले विनाश पारे ।
And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.
22 त्यसपछि भूमिको भेद लिने दुई जना मानिसलाई भने, “ती वेश्याको घरभित्र जाओ । ती महिला र तिनीसँग भएका सबैलाई तिमीहरूले शपथ खाएबमोजिम बाहिर ल्याओ ।”
Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.
23 त्यसैले त्यो भूमिको भेद लिने जवानहरू गए र राहाबलाई बाहिर ल्याए । तिनीहरूले तिनका बुबा, आमा, दाजुभाइहरू र तिनीसँग भएका सबै नातेदारलाई ल्याए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई इस्राएलको छाउनी भएको ठाउँमा ल्याए ।
So the searchers went in and got out Rahab and her father and mother and her brothers and all she had, and they got out all her family; and they took them outside the tents of Israel.
24 तिनीहरूले सहर र यसमा भएका सबै थोकलाई जलाए । चाँदी, सुन, काँसामा भाँडाहरू र फलामलाई मात्र परमप्रभुको घरमा राखियो ।
Then, after burning up the town and everything in it, they put the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron into the store-house of the Lord's house.
25 तर यहोशूले राहाब वेश्या, उनको बुबाको घराना र तिनीसँग भएका सबैलाई जीवितै राखे । उनी आजसम्म पनि इस्राएलमा नै बस्छिन्, किनभने उनले यहोशूले यरीहोको जासुस गर्न पठाएका मानिसहरूलाई लुकाइन् ।
But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land.
26 त्यसपछि यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई त्यस बेला शपथ खान लगाएर यसो भन्दै आज्ञा दिए, “यो यरीहो सहरको पुनर्निर्माण गर्ने मानिस श्रापित होस् । त्यसको जेठो छोरोको मूल्यमा जग बसालिने छ, र त्यसको कान्छो छोरोको मूल्यमा यसका प्रवेशद्वारहरू खडा गरिने छ ।”
Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors.
27 परमप्रभु यहोशूसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र तिनको कीर्ति सारा मुलुकभरि फैलियो ।
So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.
