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 ।
The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 इस्राएलले परमप्रभुसँग भाकल गरेर भने, “यदि तपाईंले हामीलाई यी मानिसहरूमाथि वजय दिनुभयो भने, हामी तिनीहरूका सहरहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पार्ने छौँ ।”
Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
3 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको आवाज सुन्नुभयो र उहाँले कनानीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो ।
Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called 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 ।
They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of 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 ।”
The people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
6 परमप्रभुले मानिसहरू माझ विषालु सर्पहरू पठाइदिनुभयो । सर्पहरूले मानिसहरूलाई डसे, र धेरै मानिसहरू मरे ।
Yahweh sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel 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 ।
The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
8 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “एउटा सर्प बना र यसलाई खामामा झुण्ड्या । सर्पले डसेकाहरू ज-जसले यसलाई हेर्छन् तिनीहरू सबै बाँच्ने छन् ।”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
9 यसैले मोशाले काँसाको एउटा सर्प बनाए र त्यसलाई खामामा झुण्ड्याए । जब सर्पले कसैलाई डस्थ्यो, त्यसले काँसाको सर्पमा हरेमा त्यो बाँच्थ्यो ।
Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले यात्रा गरे र ओबोतमा छाउनी लगाए ।
The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
11 तिनीहरू ओबोतबाट गए र मोआबको पूर्वतिर पर्ने इये-अबारीमको मरुभूमिमा छाउनी लगाए ।
They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
12 तिनीहरू त्यहाँबाट यात्रा गरे र जेरेदको बेँसीमा छाउनी लगाए ।
From there they traveled, and encamped 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 traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 त्यसैले परमप्रभुको युद्धको पुस्तकमा यस्तो लेखिएको छ, “सूपाको वाहेब र अर्ननोनका बेँसीहरू,
Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 बेँसीका ओह्रालाहरू, जो आरको सहरतिर लाग्छन् र मोआबको सिमानसम्म पुग्छन् ।”
the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on 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 traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 त्यसपछि इस्राएलले यो गीत गायो, “इनारको मूल फुटेर निस्क्यो! यसको गीत गाओ,
Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
18 हाम्रा अगुवाहरूले खनेका इनारबारे मानिसहरूका भारदारहरूले खनेका इनार, राजदण्ड र लहुराले खनेका इनार ।”
the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled 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 that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 त्यसपछि इस्राएलले एमोरी राजा सीहोनकहाँ यसो भन्दै समाचावाहक पठाए,
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 me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
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 ।
Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and 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 ।
Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
25 इस्राएलले हेश्बोन र यसका सबै गाउँसहित एमोरी सहरहरू कब्जा गरे र तिनीहरू सबैमा बसोबास गरे ।
Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in 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 ।
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
27 यसकारण यसो भनिन्छ, “हेश्बोनमा आओ । सीहोनको सहरको पुनर्निर्माण गरियोस् र फेरि स्थापित होस् ।
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
28 हेश्बोनबाट आगोको ज्वाला दन्क्यो, सीहोनको सहरबाट एउटा आगोको ज्वाला जसले मोआबको आरलाई र अर्नोनको उच्च स्थलहरूलाई भस्म पार्यो ।
for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
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, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, 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 ।
We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31 त्यसैले इस्राएल एमोरीहरूका मुलुकमा बस्न थाल्यो ।
Thus 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 ।
Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took 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 ।
They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to 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 ।”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at 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 him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
