यहोशू 1
1 परमप्रभुका दास मोशाको मृत्युपछि परमप्रभु मोशाका मुख्य सहायक नूनका छोरा यहोशूसँग यसरी बोल्नुभयो,
And after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it happened that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and he said to him:
2 “मेरो दास मोशाको मत्यु भएको छ । यसकारण, उठ्, तँ र यी मानिसहरू यर्दन नदी तरेर मैले तिनीहरू अर्थात् इस्राएलका मानसिहरूलाई दिएको भूमिमा जाओ । तेरो खुट्टाको पैतालाले टेकेका सबै ठाउँ म तँलाई दिने छु ।
“Moses, my servant, has died. Rise up, and cross this Jordan, you and all the people with you, into the land which I will give to the sons of Israel.
3 मैले मोशालाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेझैँ यो मैले तँलाई दिएको छु ।
I will deliver to you every place that the step of your foot will tread upon, just as I said to Moses.
4 त्यो मरुभूमि र लेबनानदेखि महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म, हित्तीहरूका सबै भूमि र घाम अस्ताउने भूमध्य सागरसम्म हुने छ ।
From the desert and from Lebanon, even to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, as far as the great sea opposite the setting of the sun, shall be your border.
5 तेरो सारा जीवनभरि तेरो सामु कोही पनि खडा हुन सक्ने छैन । जसरी म मोशासँग थिएँ, त्यसरी नै तँसँग हुने छु । म तँलाई त्याग्ने छैनँ वा छोड्ने छैनँ ।
No one will be able to resist you during all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will not leave you, nor will I forsake you.
6 बलियो र साहसी हो । तैँले यी मानिसहरूलाई मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेको भूमि अधिकार गराउने छस् ।
Be strengthened and be steadfast. For you shall divide by lot, to this people, the land about which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver it to them.
7 बलियो हो र खुबै साहसी हो । मेरा दास मोशाले पालन गर्न तँलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै व्यवस्था सावधानीसाथ पालन गर् । यसबाट दाहिनेतिर वा देब्रेतिर नलाग्, ताकि तँ जहाँ गए तापनि सफल हुन सक्ने छस् ।
Therefore, be strengthened and be very steadfast, so that you may observe and accomplish the entire law, which Moses, my servant, instructed to you. You may not turn aside from it to the right, nor to the left. So may you understand all that you should do.
8 तैँले व्यवस्थाको यो पुस्तकबारे सदैव चर्चा गर्ने छस् । तैँले यसलाई दिनरात मनन गर्ने छस्, ताकि तैँले लेखेका सबै कुरा पालन गर्न सक्ने छस् । अनि तेरो फलिफाप हुने छ र तँ सफल हुने छस् ।
The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth. Instead, you shall meditate upon it, day and night, so that you may observe and do all the things that are written in it. Then you shall direct your way and understand it.
9 के मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेको होइनँ र? बलियो र साहसी हो । नडरा । निराश नहो । तँ जहाँ गए पनि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर तँसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”
10 अनि यहोशूले मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे,
And Joshua instructed the leaders of the people, saying: “Cross through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:
11 “छाउनीभरि जाओ र मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा गर, 'तिमीहरूका निम्ति खानेकुराहरू तयार पार । तिमीहरू तिन दिनमा यर्दन नदी तरेर पारि जाने छौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको भूमि अधिकार गर्ने छौ' ।”
‘Prepare your food supplies. For after the third day, you shall cross the Jordan, and you shall enter so as to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.’”
12 यहोशूले रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलहरूलाई भने,
Likewise, he said to the Reubenites and to the Gadites, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh:
13 “परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले तिमीहरूलाई भनेका वचनहरू सम्झ । तिनले भनेका थिए, 'परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई विश्राम दिइरहनुभएको छ र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई यो भूमि दिँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।'
“Remember the words, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you rest, and has given you all the land.’
14 तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू, तिमीहरूका स-साना बालबच्चाहरू र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरू मोशाले दिएका यर्दन वारिको भूमिमा नै रहने छन् ।
Your wives and sons, as well as the cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses delivered to you beyond the Jordan. But as for you, pass over with weapons, before your brothers, all you who are strong of hand, and fight on their behalf,
15 तर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई पनि तिमीहरूलाई झैँ विश्राम नदिनुभएसम्म तिमीहरूका योद्धाहरू तिमीहरूका भाइहरूसँग पारि जाने छन् र तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्ने छन् ।
until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, just as he has given to you, and until they also possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to them. And so shall you be returned to the land of your possession. And you shall live in the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to you beyond the Jordan, opposite the rising of the sun.”
16 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले पनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुहुने भूमि अधिकार गर्ने छन् । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले यर्दन वारि घाम झुल्कनेतिर दिएका तिमीहरूका आफ्नै भूमिमा फर्कने छौ र यसलाई अधिकार गर्ने छौ ।”
And they responded to Joshua, and they said: “All that you have instructed to us, we shall do. And wherever you will send us, we shall go.
17 तिनीहरूले यहोशूलाई जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले हामीलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै कुरा हामी गर्ने छौँ, र तपाईंले हामीलाई जहाँ पठाउनुहुन्छ हामी उतै जाने छौँ । हामीले मोशाको आज्ञा पालन गरेझैँ हामी तपाईंको आज्ञा पनि पालन गर्ने छौँ । परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वर मोशासँग रहनुभएझैँ तपाईंसँग रहनुभएको होस् ।
Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so shall we obey you also. But may the Lord your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.
18 तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू विरुद्ध विद्रोह गर्ने र तपाईंका वचनहरूको अवज्ञा गर्ने जोसुकैलाई मार्नुपर्छ । मात्र बलियो र साहसी हुनुहोस् ।”
Whoever will contradict your mouth, and whoever will not obey all of your words, which you will instruct to him, let him die. But may you be strengthened, and may you act manfully.”
