< यहोशू 7 >
1 तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले विनाशको निम्ति अलग गरिएका थोकहरूको बारेमा बेइमानीपूर्वक काम गरे । यहूदा कुलका जेरहको छोरो जब्दीको छोरो कर्मीको छोरो आकानले विनाशको निम्ति अलग गरिएका केही थोकहरू लिए, र परमप्रभुको क्रोध इस्राएलविरुद्ध दन्कियो ।
But the sons of Israel committed a trespass in what was set apart. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took from what was set apart, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the sons of Israel.
2 यहोशूले यरीहोबाट मानिसहरूलाई ऐतिर पठाए, जुन बेथेलको पूर्वतिर बेथ-आवनको नजिक थियो । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “जाओ र त्यस भूमिको भेद लेओ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू ऐको जासुस गर्नलाई गए ।
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 जब तिनीहरू यहोशूकहाँ फर्केर आए, तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “ऐको निम्ति सबै मानिसलाई नपठाउनुहोस् । ऐमा गएर आक्रमण गर्नलाई दुई वा तिन हजार मानिसलाई मात्र पठाउनुहोस् । सबै मानिसलाई लडाइँ गर्न कष्ट नदिनुहोस्, किनभने तिनीहरू सङ्ख्यामा थोरै छन् ।
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for they are but few.
4 त्यसैले फौजबाट झण्डै तिन हजार मानिस मात्र गए, तर यिनीहरू ऐका मानिसहरूको सामु पराजित भए ।
So there went up there of the people about three thousand men. And they fled before the men of Ai.
5 ऐका मानिसहरूले सहरको प्रवेशद्वारदेखि ढुङ्गाको थुप्रोसम्म लखेट्दा छत्तिस जना मारे, र उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पहाडको ओह्रालोमा झरिरहँदा मारे । मानिसहरूको हृदय शिथिल भयो र पानीजस्तै भयो ।
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men. And they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 तब यहोशूले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते । तिनी र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूले आ-आफ्नो शिरमा धूलो हाले र साँझसम्म नै परमप्रभुको सन्दुकको सामु भुइँमा घोप्टो परेर लम्पसार परिरहे ।
And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their heads.
7 त्यसपछि यहोशूले भने, “हाय! हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तपाईंले यी मानिसहरूलाई किन यर्दन तारेर ल्याउनुभयो? के हामीलाई एमोरीहरूका हातमा दिएर नष्ट पार्नलाई हो? हामीले अर्कै निर्णय गरेर हामी त यर्दन पारी नै बसेको भए पनि हुनेथियो ।
And Joshua said, Alas, O lord Jehovah, why have thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? Would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!
8 हे परमप्रभु, इस्राएलीहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूका सामु पीठ फर्काएपछि म के भन्न सक्छु र?
Oh, Lord, what shall I say after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
9 कनानीहरू र यस भूमिमा बस्नेहरूले यो कुरा सुन्ने छन् । तिनीहरूले हामीलाई घेर्ने छन् र पृथ्वीका मानिहरूलाई हाम्रो नाउँ बिर्सन लगाउने छन् । अनि तपाईंको महान् नाउँको निम्ति तपाईं के गर्नुहुन्छ?
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will encompass us around, and cut off our name from the earth, and what will thou do for thy great name?
10 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ् । तँ किन घोप्टो परेर लम्पसार परिरहन्छस्?
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get thee up. Why are thou thus fallen upon thy face?
11 इस्राएलले पाप गरेको छ । मैले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका मेरो करार तिनीहरूले तोडेका छन् । तिनीहरूले अलग गरेका केही थोकहरू चोरेका छन्, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नै सरसामानहरू माझ राखेर तिनीहरूका पाप ढाकेका छन् ।
Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken from what was set apart, and have also stolen, and also dissembled. And they have even put it among their own stuff.
12 परिणामस्वरूप, इस्राएलका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका सामु खडा हुन सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना शत्रु सामु तिनीहरूका पीठ फर्काएका छन् किनभने तिनीहरू स्वयम्लाई नै विनाशको निम्ति अलग गरिएका छन् । तिमीहरूमाझ अझै रहेको ती विनाश पारिनुपर्ने थोकहरू नष्ट नपारेसम्म म तिमीहरूसँग हुने छैनँ ।
Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies because they have become accursed. I will not be with you any more unless ye destroy what was set apart from among you.
13 उठ् । मानिसहरूलाई मेरो निम्ति शुद्ध पार् र तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'आ-आफूलाई भोलिको निम्ति शुद्ध पार । किनभने इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरू इस्राएलकामाझ नष्ट पारिनुपर्ने थोकहरू अझै छन् । नष्ट पारिनलाई अलग गरिका थोकहरूलाई तिमीहरूका माझबाट नहटाएसम्म तिमीहरू तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूका सामु खडा हुन सक्दैनौ ।”
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow. For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is what has been set apart in the midst of thee, O Israel. Thou cannot stand before thine enemies until ye take away the devoted thing from among you.
14 बिहान तिमीहरू कुल-कुलअनुसार हाजिर हुनुपर्छ । परमप्रभुले चुन्नुहुने कुल आ-आफ्नो कुलअनुसार उहाँको नजिक आउने छ । परमप्रभुले चुन्नुहुने कुल तिनीहरूको घराना-घरानाअनुसार नजिक आउनुपर्छ । परमप्रभुले चुन्नुहुने घराना एक-एक गरी आउनुपर्छ ।
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes, and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah takes shall come near by families, and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near by households, and the household which Jehovah shall take shall come near man by man.
15 जोसँग विनाशको निम्ति चुनिएका थोकहरू छन् त्यसलाई चुनिने छ, त्यसलाई र त्यससँग भएका सबै थोक जलाइने छन्, किनभने त्यसले परमप्रभुको करार तोडेको छ र त्यसले इस्राएलमा अपमानजनक काम गरेको छ' ।”
And it shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he has wrought folly in Israel.
16 त्यसैले, यहोशू बिहान सबेरै उठेर इस्राएललाई कुल-कुल गरेर नजिक ल्याए र यहूदाको कुललाई चुनियो ।
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
17 यहोशूले यहूदाको सन्तानलाई नजिक ल्याए, र जेरहको सन्तानलाई चुनियो ।
And he brought near the family of Judah, and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
18 तिनले जेरहको घरानालाई एक-एक गर्दै नजिक ल्याए र जब्दीको घरानालाई चुनियो । तिनले जब्दीको घरानालाई एक-एक गरी ल्याए र यहूदा कुलका जेरहका छोरा जब्दीका छोरा कर्मीका छोरा आकानलाई चुनियो ।
And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 त्यसपछि यहोशूले आकानलाई भने, “हे मेरो छोरो, इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको सामु सत्य कुरा बता र उहाँलाई तेरो स्वीकारोक्ति दे । तैँले के गरेको छस्, कृपया मलाई बता । मसँग यो कुरा नलुका ।”
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession to him, and tell me now what thou have done. Hide it not from me.
20 आकानले जवाफ दिए, “साँच्चै, मैले इस्राएलको परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु । मैले गरेको पाप यही होः
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 जब मैले लूटको मालहरूमा बेबिलोनबाट ल्याइएको सुन्दर ओढ्ने, दुई सय शेकेलको चाँदी र पचास शेकेल तौल भएको सुनको डण्डा देखेँ, मैले तिनीहरूलाई चाह गरेँ र लिएँ । तिनीहरूलाई मेरो पालको बिचमा जमिनमुनि लुकाएको छु र चाँदीचाहिँ यसको मुनि छ ।”
When I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them. And, behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 यहोशूले समाचारवाहकहरूलाई पठाए, जो पालमा गए र ती थोकहरू त्यहाँ थिए । तिनीहरूले हेर्दा तिनीहरूलाई तिनकै पालमा लुकाइएका भेटे र चाँदी तिनीहरूको मुनि थियो ।
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. And, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 तिनीहरूले ती थोकहरूलाई पालको माझबाट लिए अनि यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई परमप्रभुको सामु खन्याए ।
And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they laid them down before Jehovah.
24 त्यसपछि यहोशू र सारा इस्राएलले जेरहका छोरा आकान, चाँदी, ओढ्ने, सुनको डण्डा, त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू, त्यसका गधाहरू, त्यसका गोरुहरू, त्यसका भेडाहरू, त्यसको पाल र त्यससँग भएका सबै थोकलाई लिए अनि तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई आकोरको बेँसीमा ल्याए ।
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
25 यहोशूले भने, “तैँले हामीमाथि किन कष्ट ल्याइस्? परमप्रभुले तँमाथि पनि कष्ट ल्याउनुहुने छ ।” सबै इस्राएलले ढुङ्गाले हाने । त्यसपछि बाँकी सबैलाई पनि ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे र तिनीहरूलाई आगोले जलाइदिए ।
And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
26 तिनीहरूले त्यसमाथि ढुङ्गाको ठुलो थुप्रो लगाए, जुन आजसम्म पनि छ । परमप्रभुको क्रोध हट्यो । यसकारण, आजको दिनसम्म पनि त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ आकोरको बेँसी रहेको छ ।
And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.
