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 children of Israel committed a great trespass, and purloined [part] of the accursed thing; and Achar the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri, the son of Zara, of the tribe of Juda, took of the accursed thing; and the Lord was very angry with the children 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 to Gai, which is by Baethel, saying, Spy out Gai: and the men went up and spied Gai.
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 take the city by siege: carry not up there the whole people, for [the enemy] are few.
4 त्यसैले फौजबाट झण्डै तिन हजार मानिस मात्र गए, तर यिनीहरू ऐका मानिसहरूको सामु पराजित भए ।
And there went up about three thousand men, and they fled from before the men of Gai.
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 Gai killed of them to the number of thirty-six men, and they pursued them from the gate, and destroyed them from the steep hill; and the heart of the people was alarmed 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 garments; and Joshua fell on the earth on his face before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they cast dust on 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, I pray, Lord, therefore has your servant brought this people over Jordan to deliver them to the Amorite to destroy us? would we had remained and settled ourselves beyond Jordan.
8 हे परमप्रभु, इस्राएलीहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूका सामु पीठ फर्काएपछि म के भन्न सक्छु र?
And what shall I say since Israel has turned his back before his enemy?
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?
And when the Chananite and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy us from off the land: and what will you do [for] your great name?
10 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ् । तँ किन घोप्टो परेर लम्पसार परिरहन्छस्?
And the Lord said to Joshua, Rise up; why have you fallen upon your 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 ।
The people has sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them; they have stolen from the cursed thing, and put it into their store.
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 ।
And the children of Israel will not be able to stand before their enemies; they will turn their back before their enemies, for they have become an accursed thing: I will not any longer be with you, unless you remove the cursed thing from yourselves.
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 ।”
Rise, sanctify the people and tell them to sanctify themselves for the morrow: thus says the Lord God of Israel, The accursed thing is among you; you shall not be able to stand before your enemies, until you shall have removed the cursed 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 ।
And you shall all be gathered together by your tribes in the morning, and it shall come to pass that the tribe which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by families; and the family which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by households; and the household which the Lord shall show, you shall bring 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 the man who shall be pointed out, shall be burnt with fire, and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and has wrought wickedness in Israel.
16 त्यसैले, यहोशू बिहान सबेरै उठेर इस्राएललाई कुल-कुल गरेर नजिक ल्याए र यहूदाको कुललाई चुनियो ।
And Joshua rose up early, and brought the people by their tribes; and the tribe of Juda was pointed out.
17 यहोशूले यहूदाको सन्तानलाई नजिक ल्याए, र जेरहको सन्तानलाई चुनियो ।
And it was brought by their families, and family of the Zaraites was pointed out.
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 it was brought man by man, and Achar the son of Zambri the son of Zara was pointed out.
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 Achar, Give glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession; and tell me what you have done, and hide it not from me.
20 आकानले जवाफ दिए, “साँच्चै, मैले इस्राएलको परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु । मैले गरेको पाप यही होः
And Achar answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: 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 ।”
I saw in the spoil an embroidered mantle, and two hundred didrachmas of silver, and one golden wedge of fifty didrachmas, and I desired them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in my tent, and the silver is hid under them.
22 यहोशूले समाचारवाहकहरूलाई पठाए, जो पालमा गए र ती थोकहरू त्यहाँ थिए । तिनीहरूले हेर्दा तिनीहरूलाई तिनकै पालमा लुकाइएका भेटे र चाँदी तिनीहरूको मुनि थियो ।
And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent into the camp; and these things were hidden in his tent, and the silver under them.
23 तिनीहरूले ती थोकहरूलाई पालको माझबाट लिए अनि यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई परमप्रभुको सामु खन्याए ।
And they brought them out of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they laid them before the Lord.
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 took Achar the son of Zara, and brought him to the valley of Achor, and his sons, and his daughters, and his calves, and his asses, and all his sheep, and his tent, and all his property, and all the people [were] with him; and he brought them to Emec 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 to Achar, Why have you destroyed us? the Lord destroy you as at this day. And all Israel stoned him 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 set up over him a great heap of stones; and the Lord ceased from his fierce anger. Therefore he called the place Emecachor until this day.
