Joshua 5
1 When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
यर्दनको पश्चिमतिरका एमोरी राजाहरू र भूमध्य सागरको तटतिर कनानी राजाहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यर्दन नतरेसम्म यर्दनको पानी सुकाउनुभएको थियो भन्ने सुन्ने बित्तिकै तिनीहरूको हृदय शिथिल भयो र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको कारण तिनीहरूमा कुनै आँट आएन ।
2 At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बना र इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको फेरि एक पटक खतना गर् ।”
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
त्यसपछि यहोशू आफैले ढुङ्गाका कर्दहरू बनाए र तिनले इस्राएलका सबै पुरुषको गिबियथ-हाअरालोथमा खतना गरे ।
4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्ने कारण थियोः युद्ध गर्ने पुरुषहरूलगायत मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुष मिश्रबाट आएपछि मरुभूमिको यात्रामा मरेका थिए ।
5 For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
तथापि मिश्रबाट आएका सबै पुरुषको खतना भएको थियो, र मिश्रबाट आउँदा मरुभूमिमा जन्मेका कुनै पनि पुरुषको खतना भएको थिएन ।
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice. Yahweh swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
मिश्रबाट निस्केर आएका सबै पुरुष अर्थात् युद्ध गर्ने सबै पुरुष नमरेसम्म इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मरुभूमिमा हिँडिरहे, किनकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको आवाज पालन गरेनन् । परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खालाई हामीलाई दिन्छु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको भूमि अर्थात् दूध र मह बग्ने भूमि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई देख्न दिनुहुन्थ्यो भनी शपथ खानुभएको थियो ।
7 Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
यहोशूले खतना गरेका मानिसहरू परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सट्टामा उठाउनुभएका तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू थिए, किनभने तिनीहरूको त्यस किसिमले खतना भएको थिएन ।
8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
जब तिनीहरू सबैको खतना भयो, तिनीहरू निको नभएसम्म तिनीहरू त्यहीँ नै रहे ।
9 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “आजको दिन मैले मिश्रको अपमान तिमीहरूबाट हटाएको छु ।” त्यसैले, त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ वर्तमानसम्म पनि गिलगाल राखिएको छ ।
10 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले गिलगालमा छाउनी हाले । तिनीहरूले त्यही महिनाको चौधौँ दिनको साँझ यरीहोको मैदानमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
11 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
निस्तार-चाडपछि त्यसै दिन तिनीहरूले त्यो भूमिको केही उब्जनीबाट अखमिरी रोटी र भुटेको अन्न खाए ।
12 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
तिनीहरूले त्यस भूमिको उब्जनीबाट खाएपछि त्यही दिन मन्न रोकियो । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति कुनै मन्न थिएन, तर तिनीहरूले त्यस वर्ष कनानको भूमिको उब्जनीबाट खाए ।
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”
यहोशू यरीहोको नजिक हुँदा तिनले माथि हेरे र हेर, एउटा मानिस तिनको सामु उभिरहेका थिए । तिनको हातमा नाङ्गो तरवार थियो । यहोशू तिनीकहाँ गएर सोधे, “तपाईं हाम्रो वा हाम्रा शत्रुको पक्षमा हुनुहुन्छ?”
14 He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
तिनले भने, “कुनै पक्षको होइन । किनभने म परमप्रभुको फौजको सेनापति हुँ । अहिले म आएको छु ।” अनि यहोशूले जमिनमा घोप्टो परेर आराधना गरे र तिनलाई भने, “मेरा मालिकले उहाँको दासलाई के भन्नुहुन्छ?”
15 The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
परमप्रभुको फौजका सेनापतिले यहोशूलाई भने, “तेरो खुट्टाको जुत्ता फुकाल्, किनभने तँ उभिरहेको ठाउँ पवित्र छ ।” यहोशूले त्यसै गरे ।
