गन्ती 21
1 जब नेगेवमा बस्ने आरादका कनानी राजाले इस्राएल अटारीमको बाटो भएर यात्रा गरिरहेको थियो भन्ने सुने, तिनले इस्राएलसँग लडाइँ लडे र केहीलाई बन्दी बनाए ।
When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked Israel and captured some prisoners.
2 इस्राएलले परमप्रभुसँग भाकल गरेर भने, “यदि तपाईंले हामीलाई यी मानिसहरूमाथि वजय दिनुभयो भने, हामी तिनीहरूका सहरहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पार्ने छौँ ।”
So Israel made a vow to the LORD: “If You will deliver this people into our hands, we will devote their cities to destruction.”
3 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको आवाज सुन्नुभयो र उहाँले कनानीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो ।
And the LORD heard Israel’s plea and delivered up the Canaanites. Israel devoted them and their cities to destruction; so they named the place Hormah.
4 तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई र तिनीहरूका सहरलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गरे । त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ होर्मा राखियो । तिनीहरूले एदोमको भूमिलाई फेरो मारेर नर्कटको समुद्रको बाटो हुँदै होर पर्वतबाट गए । बाटोमा मानिसहरू अति निरुत्साहित भए ।
Then they set out from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, in order to bypass the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient on the journey
5 मानिसहरू परमेश्वर र मोशा विरुद्ध बोले, “मरुभूमिमा मर्न तपाईंले हामीलाई मिश्रबाट किन ल्याउनुभयो? यहाँ रोटी छैन, पानी पनि छैन अनि यो घृणास्पद खाना हामी घृणा गर्छौं ।”
and spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you led us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!”
6 परमप्रभुले मानिसहरू माझ विषालु सर्पहरू पठाइदिनुभयो । सर्पहरूले मानिसहरूलाई डसे, र धेरै मानिसहरू मरे ।
So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.
7 मानिसहरू मोशाकहाँ आएर भने, “हामीले पाप गरेका छौँ, किनभने हामीले परमप्रभु र तपाईंको विरुद्ध बोलेका छौँ । सर्पहरूलाई हामीबाट हटाउनलाई उहाँसँग बिन्ती गर्नुहोस् ।” यसैले मोशाले मानिसहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरे ।
Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so He will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses interceded for the people.
8 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “एउटा सर्प बना र यसलाई खामामा झुण्ड्या । सर्पले डसेकाहरू ज-जसले यसलाई हेर्छन् तिनीहरू सबै बाँच्ने छन् ।”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will live.”
9 यसैले मोशाले काँसाको एउटा सर्प बनाए र त्यसलाई खामामा झुण्ड्याए । जब सर्पले कसैलाई डस्थ्यो, त्यसले काँसाको सर्पमा हरेमा त्यो बाँच्थ्यो ।
So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. If anyone who was bitten looked at the bronze snake, he would live.
10 त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले यात्रा गरे र ओबोतमा छाउनी लगाए ।
Then the Israelites set out and camped at Oboth.
11 तिनीहरू ओबोतबाट गए र मोआबको पूर्वतिर पर्ने इये-अबारीमको मरुभूमिमा छाउनी लगाए ।
They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east.
12 तिनीहरू त्यहाँबाट यात्रा गरे र जेरेदको बेँसीमा छाउनी लगाए ।
From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 तिनीहरूले त्यहाँबाट यात्रा गरे र अर्नोन खोलाको पारिपट्टि छाउनी लगाए, जुन मरुभूमिमा छ र एमोरीहरूको सिमानसम्म नै फैलिएको छ । अर्नोन खोलाले मोआब र एमोरीहरूबिच सिमानाको काम गर्छ ।
From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends into the Amorite territory. Now the Arnon is the border between the Moabites and the Amorites.
14 त्यसैले परमप्रभुको युद्धको पुस्तकमा यस्तो लेखिएको छ, “सूपाको वाहेब र अर्ननोनका बेँसीहरू,
Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
15 बेँसीका ओह्रालाहरू, जो आरको सहरतिर लाग्छन् र मोआबको सिमानसम्म पुग्छन् ।”
even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 तिनीहरूले त्यहाँबाट बेओरसम्म यात्रा गरे । त्यो इनारमा परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसहरूलाई भेला गर् र म तिनीहरूलाई पानी दिन्छु ।”
From there they went on to Beer, the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people so that I may give them water.”
17 त्यसपछि इस्राएलले यो गीत गायो, “इनारको मूल फुटेर निस्क्यो! यसको गीत गाओ,
Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it!
18 हाम्रा अगुवाहरूले खनेका इनारबारे मानिसहरूका भारदारहरूले खनेका इनार, राजदण्ड र लहुराले खनेका इनार ।”
The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people hollowed it out with their scepters and with their staffs.” From the wilderness the Israelites went on to Mattanah,
19 अनि तिनीहरू मरुभूमिबाट मत्तानातिर यात्रा गरे । मत्तानाबाट तिनीहरूले नहलीएलतिर यात्रा गरे र नहलीएलबाट बमोततिर,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 र बमोतबाट मोआबको मैदानको बेसीँतिर यात्रा गरे । त्यहाँबाट नै पिसगा पर्वतको चुचुरोको फेदीमा मरुभूमी देखिन्छ ।
and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
21 त्यसपछि इस्राएलले एमोरी राजा सीहोनकहाँ यसो भन्दै समाचावाहक पठाए,
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 “हामीलाई तपाईंको मुलुक भएर जान दिनुहोस् । हामी खेत वा दाखबारी कतै पस्ने छैनौँ । हामी तपाईंका इनाहरूबाट पानी पिउने छैनौँ । हामी तपाईंको सिमाना पार नगरेसम्म राजमार्ग भएर मात्र यात्रा गर्छौं ।”
“Let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”
23 तर राजा सीहोनले तिनीहरूको सिमाना भएर जान इस्राएललाई अनुमति दिएनन् । बरु, सीहोनले तिनका सबै फौज जम्मा गरे र इस्राएललाई मरुभूमिमा आक्रमण गरे । तिनी यहाँसम्म आए, जहाँ तिनले इस्राएलसँग युद्ध गरे ।
But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. Instead, he gathered his whole army and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
24 इस्राएलले सीहोनको फौजलाई तरवारले आक्रमण गरे र अर्नोनदेखि यब्बोक नदीसम्म साथै अम्मोनका मानिसहरूको भूमिसम्म कब्जा गरे । अम्मोनका मानिसहरूको सिमाना किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको थियो ।
And Israel put him to the sword and took possession of his land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok—but only up to the border of the Ammonites, because it was fortified.
25 इस्राएलले हेश्बोन र यसका सबै गाउँसहित एमोरी सहरहरू कब्जा गरे र तिनीहरू सबैमा बसोबास गरे ।
Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its villages.
26 हेश्बोन एमोरी राजा सीहोनको सहर थियो, जसले मोआबका पहिलेको राजासँग युद्ध गरेका थिए । सीहोनले अर्नोन नदीसम्म उनको देश कब्जा गरेका थिए ।
Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land as far as the Arnon.
27 यसकारण यसो भनिन्छ, “हेश्बोनमा आओ । सीहोनको सहरको पुनर्निर्माण गरियोस् र फेरि स्थापित होस् ।
That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.
28 हेश्बोनबाट आगोको ज्वाला दन्क्यो, सीहोनको सहरबाट एउटा आगोको ज्वाला जसले मोआबको आरलाई र अर्नोनको उच्च स्थलहरूलाई भस्म पार्यो ।
For a fire went out from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the rulers of Arnon’s heights.
29 हे मोआब, तँलाई धिक्कार छ! हे कमोशको प्रजा, तँ नष्ट भएको छस् । त्यसले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई भगुवाहरू बनायो र त्यसका छोरीहरूलाई एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोनको कैदी बनायो ।
Woe to you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh! He gave up his sons as refugees, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 तर हामीले सीहोनलाई जितेका छौँ । हेश्बोन दीबोनसम्म नै नष्ट भएको छ । हामीले तिनीहरूलाई मेदबासम्म पुग्ने नोपासम्म नै पारजित गरेका छौँ ।
But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
31 त्यसैले इस्राएल एमोरीहरूका मुलुकमा बस्न थाल्यो ।
So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 अनि मोशाले याजेरको भेद लिन मानिसहरू पठाए । तिनीहरूले यसका गाउँहरू कब्जा गरे र त्यहाँ भएका एमोरीहरूलाई धपाए ।
After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू फर्के र बाशानको बाटोतिर उक्ले । बाशानका राजा ओग तिनीहरू विरुद्ध निस्के, तिनी र तिनका फौजले एद्रईमा तिनीहरूसँग लडे ।
Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet them in battle at Edrei.
34 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यसँग नडरा, किनभने मैले त्यसलाई, त्यसका सबै फौज र त्यसको भूमि तँलाई दिएको छु । त्यसलाई पनि हेश्बोनमा बस्ने एमोरी राजा सीहोनलाई गरेझैँ गर् ।”
But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”
35 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले कुनै पनि मानिस जीवित नरहुञ्जेल उनी, उनका छोराहरू र उनका सबै फौजलाई मारे । अनि तिनीहरूले उनको भूमि कब्जा गरे ।
So they struck down Og, along with his sons and his whole army, until no remnant was left. And they took possession of his land.
