< यहोशू 1 >
1 परमप्रभुका दास मोशाको मृत्युपछि परमप्रभु मोशाका मुख्य सहायक नूनका छोरा यहोशूसँग यसरी बोल्नुभयो,
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
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 is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 मैले मोशालाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेझैँ यो मैले तँलाई दिएको छु ।
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread on, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.
4 त्यो मरुभूमि र लेबनानदेखि महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म, हित्तीहरूका सबै भूमि र घाम अस्ताउने भूमध्य सागरसम्म हुने छ ।
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
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 ।
There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you: I will not fail you, nor forsake you.
6 बलियो र साहसी हो । तैँले यी मानिसहरूलाई मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेको भूमि अधिकार गराउने छस् ।
Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shall you divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give 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 ।
Only be you strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
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 ।
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9 के मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेको होइनँ र? बलियो र साहसी हो । नडरा । निराश नहो । तँ जहाँ गए पनि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर तँसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
10 अनि यहोशूले मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
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' ।”
Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days you shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
12 यहोशूले रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलहरूलाई भने,
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
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 word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God has given you rest, and has given you this land.
14 तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू, तिमीहरूका स-साना बालबच्चाहरू र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरू मोशाले दिएका यर्दन वारिको भूमिमा नै रहने छन् ।
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but you shall pass before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;
15 तर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई पनि तिमीहरूलाई झैँ विश्राम नदिनुभएसम्म तिमीहरूका योद्धाहरू तिमीहरूका भाइहरूसँग पारि जाने छन् र तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्ने छन् ।
Until the LORD have given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sun rise.
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 answered Joshua, saying, All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, we will 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 ।
According as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you: only the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू विरुद्ध विद्रोह गर्ने र तपाईंका वचनहरूको अवज्ञा गर्ने जोसुकैलाई मार्नुपर्छ । मात्र बलियो र साहसी हुनुहोस् ।”
Whoever he be that does rebel against your commandment, and will not listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
