यहोशू 8
1 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “नडरा; निरुत्साहित नहो । युद्ध गर्ने सबै मानिसलाई तँसँगै लैजा । ऐमा जा । हेर्, मैले ऐका राजा, त्यसका मानिसहरू, त्यसको सहर र त्यसको भूमिलाई तेरो हातमा दिएको छु ।
And he said Yahweh to Joshua may not you fear and may not you be dismayed take with you all [the] people of war and arise go up Ai see - I have given in hand your [the] king of Ai and people his and city his and land his.
2 तैँले ऐ र त्यसको राजालाई यरीहो र त्यसका राजालाई गरेझैँ गर्ने छस्, त्यसबाहेक, तैँले आफ्नो निम्ति लूटका मालहरू र गाईवस्तुहरू लिने छस् । सहरको पछाडिबाट ढुकेर बस्नू ।
And you will do to Ai and to king its just as you did to Jericho and to king its only booty its and livestock its you will plunder for yourselves set for yourself an ambush for the city behind it.
3 त्यसैले यहोशू उठे र तिनीसँग भएका युद्ध गर्ने सबै मानिसलाई लिए । त्यसपछि यहोशूले बलियो र सहासी तिस हजार मानिस चुनी तिनीहरूलाई राति नै पठाए ।
And he arose Joshua and all [the] people of war to go up Ai and he chose Joshua thirty thousand man [the] mighty [men] of strength and he sent out them night.
4 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे, “हेर, तिमीहरू यसको पछाडि सहरको विरुद्ध ढुकेर बस्ने छौ । सहरभन्दा धेरै टाढा नजाओ, तर तिमीहरू सबै तयार होओ ।
And he commanded them saying see you [are] lying in wait for the city behind the city may not you go far away from the city very and you will be all of you prepared.
5 म र मसँग भएका सबै मानिस सहरको नजिक जाने छौँ, र जब उनीहरू हामीलाई आक्रमण गर्न आउँछन् हामी पहिलेझैँ उनीहरूबाट भाग्ने छौँ ।
And I and all the people which [is] with me we will draw near to the city and it will be that they will come out to meet us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
6 हामीले उनीहरूलाई सहरबाहिर नखिँचेसम्म उनीहरू हाम्रो पछिपछि आउने छन् । उनीहरूले भन्ने छन्, 'तिनीहरू पहिलेझैँ हामीबाट भागिरहेका छन् ।' त्यसैले हामी उनीहरूबाट भाग्ने छौँ ।
And they will come out after us until have drawn out we them from the city for they will say [they are] fleeing before us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
7 त्यसपछि तिमीहरू आ-आफ्नो लुक्ने ठाउँबाट निस्केर आउने छौ, र तिमीहरूले सहरलाई कब्जा गर्ने छौ । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले यसलाई तिमीहरूको हातमा दिनुहुने छ ।
And you you will arise from the ambush and you will take possession of the city and he will give it Yahweh God your in hand your.
8 जब तिमीहरूले सहर कब्जा गर्छौ, तिमीहरूले यसलाई आगोले जलाइदिनू । परमप्रभुको वचनमा दिइएको आज्ञा पालन गरेर तिमीहरूले यो गर्ने छौ । हेर, मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेको छु ।
And it will be when have captured you the city you will set on fire the city with fire according to [the] word of Yahweh you will do see I have commanded you.
9 यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई पठाए, र तिनीहरू लुक्ने ठाउँतिर गएर तिनीहरू ऐको पश्चिमपट्टि बेथेल र ऐको बिचमा लुके ।
And he sent out them Joshua and they went to the ambush and they remained between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of Ai and he stayed Joshua in the night that in among the people.
10 यहोशू बिहान सबेरै उठे र तिनका सिपाहीहरूलाई तयार पारे । योहोशू र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूले ऐका मानिसहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे ।
And he rose early Joshua in the morning and he mustered the people and he went up he and [the] elders of Israel before the people Ai.
11 तिनीसँग भएका लड्ने मानिसहरू गए र सहरको नजिक पुगे । तिनीहरू सहरको नजिक आइपुगे र ऐको उत्तरतिर छाउनी हाले । ऐ र तिनीहरू बिचमा एउटा बेँसी थियो ।
And all the people of war which [was] with him they went up and they approached and they came before the city and they encamped from [the] north of Ai and the valley ([was] between it *Q(k)*) and between Ai.
12 तिनले झण्डै पाँच हजार जना मानिस लिए र सहरको पश्चिमपट्टि बेथेल र ऐको बिचमा लुक्न पठाए ।
And he took about five thousand man and he set them an ambush between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of the city.
13 तिनीहरूले मुख्य फौजलाई सहरको उत्तरतिर र पछाडितिरको सुरक्षाकर्मीहरूलाई पश्चिमपट्टि गरी सबै सिपाहीलाई तैनाथ गरे । त्यस रात यहोशूले बेँसीमा नै रात बिताए ।
And they set the people all the camp which [was] from [the] north of the city and rearguard its from [the] west of the city and he went Joshua in the night that in [the] middle of the valley.
14 जब ऐका राजाले यो देखे, तिनी र तिनका फौज बिहान सबेरै उठे र माथिबाट यर्दन नदीलाई देख्ने ठाउँमा इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गर्न निस्के । लुकेका मानिसहरूले सहरलाई पछाडिबाट आक्रमण गर्न पर्खिरहेका छन् भन्ने तिनलाई थाहा थिएन ।
And it was when saw [the] king of Ai and they hurried and they rose early and they went out [the] men of the city to meet Israel for battle he and all people his to the appointed place before the Arabah and he not he knew that an ambush for him [was] behind the city.
15 यहोशू र सबै इस्राएलले तिनीहरू सामु आफैलाई पराजित हुन दिए र तिनीहरू मरुभूमितिर भागे ।
And they were struck Joshua and all Israel before them and they fled [the] direction of the wilderness.
16 सहरमा भएका सबै मानिसलाई तिनीहरूको पिछा गर्नलाई आह्वान गरियो र तिनीहरू यहोशूको पछिपछि गए अनि तिनीहरूलाई सहरबाट बाहिर निकालियो ।
And they were called together all the people which ([was] in Ai *Q(K)*) to pursue after them and they pursued after Joshua and they were drawn out from the city.
17 इस्राएललाई लखेट्न नजाने ऐ र बेथेलमा एक जना पनि मानिस बाँकी रहेन । तिनीहरूले इस्राएलको पिछा गर्दा सहरलाई त्यागे र यसलाई खुला नै छोडे ।
And not he remained anyone in Ai and Beth-el who not they went out after Israel and they left the city open and they pursued after Israel.
18 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हातमा भएको भालालाई ऐतिर पसार, किनभने म ऐलाई तेरो हातम दिने छु ।” यहोशूले तिनको हातमा भएको भाला सहरतिर पसारे ।
And he said Yahweh to Joshua stretch out with the javelin which [is] in hand your to Ai for in hand your I will give it and he stretched out Joshua with the javelin which [was] in hand his to the city.
19 तिनले आफ्नो हातको भाला पसार्दा लुकेर बसेका सिपाहीहरू आ-आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हतार-हतार निस्के । तिनीहरू दौडे र सहरभित्र पसी यसलाई कब्जा गरे । तिनीहरूले सहरलाई आगो लगाइदिए ।
And the ambush it arose quickly from place its and they ran when stretched out hand his and they went the city and they captured it and they hurried and they set on fire the city with fire.
20 ऐका मानिसहरू फर्के र पछाडि हेरे । तिनीहरूले सहरबाट आकाशतिर धूवाँ गइरहेको देखे र तिनीहरू यता-उता कतै पनि उम्कन सकेनन् । किनभने मरुभूमितिर भागेका इस्राएली सिपाहीहरू तिनीहरूका पिछा गर्नेहरूको सामना गर्न फर्केका थिए ।
And they turned [the] men of Ai behind them and they saw and there! it went up [the] smoke of the city the heavens towards and not it was in them hands to flee hither and hither and the people which was fleeing the wilderness it turned back against the pursuer.
21 जब यहोशू र सारा इस्राएलले धूवाँको मुस्लोसँगै सहर कब्जा गरेको देखे, तिनीहरू फर्के र ऐका मानिसहरूलाई मारे ।
And Joshua and all Israel they saw that it had captured the ambush the city and that it went up [the] smoke of the city and they turned back and they attacked [the] men of Ai.
22 सहरभित्र गएका अरू सिपाहीहरू पनि तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न बाहिर निस्के । त्यसैले ऐका मानिसहरू यतापट्टि र उतापट्टिका इस्राएलका फौजको बिचमा फसे । इस्राएलले ऐका मानिसहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्यो; तिनीहरू कोही पनि बचेनन् वा उम्केनन् ।
And these [men] they came out from the city to meet them and they were to Israel in the middle these from this and these from this and they struck down them until not he had left to him a survivor and a fugitive.
23 तिनीहरूले ऐका राजालाई सुरक्षित राखे, जसलाई तिनीहरूले जीवितै समातेका थिए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई यहोशूकहाँ ल्याए ।
And [the] king of Ai they captured alive and they brought near him to Joshua.
24 जब इस्राएलले मरुभूमि नजिकैको मैदानमा ऐका बासिन्दाहरू सबैलाई मारिसिद्ध्याए, जहाँ उनीहरूले तिनीहरूको पिछा गरेका थिए र तिनीहरू सबै तरवारद्वारा मारिए, तब सबै इस्राएल ऐतिर फर्के । तिनीहरूले यसलाई तरवारले आक्रमण गरे ।
And it was when had finished Israel to kill all [the] inhabitants of Ai in the open country in the wilderness which they had pursued them in it and they had fallen all of them to [the] mouth of [the] sword until were finished they and they returned all Israel Ai and they attacked it to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
25 त्यस दिन मरेका पुरुष र महिला बाह्र हजार जना थिए । ऐका सबै मानिस यति नै थिए ।
And it was all those [who] fell on the day that from man and unto woman two [plus] ten thousand all [the] people of Ai.
26 यहोशूले ऐका मानिसहरू सबैलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट नपारेसम्म भाला समाइरहेका तिनको हात पछाडि फर्काएनन् ।
And Joshua not he drew back hand his which he had stretched out with the javelin until that he had totally destroyed all [the] inhabitants of Ai.
27 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएमुताबिक तिनीहरूले सहरबाट गाईवस्तुहरू र लूटका मालहरू मात्र लिए ।
Only the livestock and [the] booty of the city that they plundered for themselves Israel according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had commanded Joshua.
28 यहोशूले ऐलाई जलाए र यसलाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रोमा परिणत गरिदिए । यो आजको दिनसम्म पनि त्यागिएको ठाउँ भएको छ ।
And he burned Joshua Ai and he made it a mound of perpetuity a desolation until the day this.
29 तिनले ऐका राजालाई साँझसम्मै रुखमा झुण्ड्याए । जब सूर्य अस्ताउँदै थियो, यहोशूले आज्ञा दिए र तिनीहरूले राजाको शरीरलाई रुखबाट निकाले र यसलाई सहरको प्रवेशद्वारअगि फ्याँके । तिनीहरूले यसमाथि ढङ्गाको ठुलो थुप्रो लगाए । त्यहाँ त्यो थुप्रो आजसम्म पनि छ ।
And [the] king of Ai he hanged on the tree until [the] time of the evening and just as went the sun he commanded Joshua and they took down corpse his from the tree and they threw it to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and they set up over him a heap of stones great until the day this.
30 त्यसपछि यहोशूले परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई
Then he built Joshua an altar to Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] mountain of Ebal.
31 आज्ञा गरेअनुसार परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको निम्ति एबाल डाँडामाथि एउटा वेदी बनाए, जस्तो मोशाको व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छः “नकाटेका ढुङ्गाहरूबाट बनाइएको एउटा वेदी, जसमाथि कसैले पनि फलामको हतियार चलाएको छैन ।” तिनले वेदीमाथि परमप्रभुको होमबलि चढाए र तिनीहरूले मेलबलि चढाए ।
Just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh [the] people of Israel according to [what] is written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses an altar of stones complete which not anyone has wielded on them iron and they offered up on it burnt offerings to Yahweh and they sacrificed peace offerings.
32 त्यहाँ तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको सामु मोशाको व्यवस्थाको प्रतिलिपी ढुङ्गाहरूमा लेखे ।
And he wrote there on the stones copy of [the] law of Moses which he had written before [the] people of Israel.
33 स्वदेशी र विदेशी सारा इस्राएल, तिनीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरू, अधिकृतहरू र तिनीहरूका न्यायकर्ताहरू परमप्रभुको सन्दुक बोक्ने लेवीहरू र पुजारीको सामु सन्दुकको दुवैतिर खडा भए । तिनीहरूको आधा भाग गीरीज्जीम डाँडाको अगि र अर्को आधा भागचाहिँ एबाल डाँडाको अगि खडा भए । परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई पहिले आज्ञा गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई आशिष् दिए ।
And all Israel and elders its and officials - and judges its [were] standing from this - and from this - of the ark before the priests the Levites [the] bearers of - [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh as the sojourner as the native half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Gerizim and half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Ebal just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh to bless the people Israel at the former [time].
34 त्यसपछि यहोशूले व्यवस्थाका वचनहरू अर्थात् आशिष्हरू र सरापहरू सबै पढे, जस्तो तिनीहरूलाई व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको थियो ।
And after thus he read aloud all [the] words of the law the blessing and the curse according to every [thing] written in [the] book of the law.
35 इस्राएलको भेला अर्थात् महिला, स-साना छोराछोरीहरू र तिनीहरूमाझ बसोबास गरेका परदेशीहरूको सामु मोशाले यहोशूलाई आज्ञा गरेका वचन तिनले नपढेका कुनै पनि थिएनन् ।
Not it was anything from all that he had commanded Moses which not he read aloud Joshua before all [the] assembly of Israel and the women and the little one[s] and the sojourner[s] who went in midst their.
