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 trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against 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 ।
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.” 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 ।
They returned to Joshua, and said to him, “Don’t let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Don’t make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them.”
4 त्यसैले फौजबाट झण्डै तिन हजार मानिस मात्र गए, तर यिनीहरू ऐका मानिसहरूको सामु पराजित भए ।
So about three thousand men of the people went up there, 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 ।
The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them. They chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. The hearts of the people melted, and became like 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 ।
Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before Yahweh’s ark until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put 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 ।
Joshua said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived 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 surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?”
10 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ् । तँ किन घोप्टो परेर लम्पसार परिरहन्छस्?
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face like that?
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 some of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. 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 children of Israel can’t stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things 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 ।”
Get up! Sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, “There is a devoted thing among you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you 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 you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which Yahweh selects shall come near by families. The family which Yahweh selects shall come near by households. The household which Yahweh selects 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' ।”
It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed Yahweh’s covenant, and because he has done a disgraceful thing 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. The tribe of Judah was selected.
17 यहोशूले यहूदाको सन्तानलाई नजिक ल्याए, र जेरहको सन्तानलाई चुनियो ।
He brought near the family of Judah, and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was selected.
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 ।
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 selected.
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 ।”
Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please give glory to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done! Don’t hide it from me!”
20 आकानले जवाफ दिए, “साँच्चै, मैले इस्राएलको परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु । मैले गरेको पाप यही होः
Achan answered Joshua, and said, “I have truly sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and this is what I have 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 plunder a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with 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. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
23 तिनीहरूले ती थोकहरूलाई पालको माझबाट लिए अनि यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई परमप्रभुको सामु खन्याए ।
They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before Yahweh.
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 ।
Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, 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 ।
Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? Yahweh will trouble you today.” 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 ।
They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called “The valley of Achor” to this day.
