यहोशू 1
1 परमप्रभुका दास मोशाको मृत्युपछि परमप्रभु मोशाका मुख्य सहायक नूनका छोरा यहोशूसँग यसरी बोल्नुभयो,
And it came to pass after the death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the minister of Moses, 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 then arise, go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land, which I give them.
3 मैले मोशालाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेझैँ यो मैले तँलाई दिएको छु ।
Every spot on which you shall tread I will give it to you, as I said to Moses.
4 त्यो मरुभूमि र लेबनानदेखि महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म, हित्तीहरूका सबै भूमि र घाम अस्ताउने भूमध्य सागरसम्म हुने छ ।
The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity of the sea; your costs shall be from the setting of the sun.
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 ।
Not a man shall stand against you all the days of your life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with you, and I will not fail you, or neglect 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 'quit yourself like a man, for you shall divide the land to this people, which I sware to give to your fathers.
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 ।
Be strong, therefore, and quit yourself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded you; and you shall not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that you may be wise in whatever you may 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 ।
And the book of this law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shall you prosper, and make your ways prosperous, and then shall you be wise.
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 have commanded you; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord your God is with you in all places whither you go.
10 अनि यहोशूले मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे,
And Joshua commanded the scribes 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' ।”
Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and you shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.
12 यहोशूले रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेका आधा कुलहरूलाई भने,
And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said,
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 caused you to 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 ।
Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and you shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and you shall fight on their side;
15 तर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई पनि तिमीहरूलाई झैँ विश्राम नदिनुभएसम्म तिमीहरूका योद्धाहरू तिमीहरूका भाइहरूसँग पारि जाने छन् र तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्ने छन् ।
until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then you shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.
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 and said, We will do all things which you command us, and we will go to every place whither you shall send us.
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 ।
Whereinsoever we listened to Moses we will listen to you; only let the Lord our 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 ।”
And whoever shall disobey you, and whoever shall not listen to your words as you shall command him, let him die; but be you strong and courageous.
