यहोशू 1:1-9

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

1 मोशा परमप्रभुका दास थिए। नूनका छोरा यहोशू मोशाका सहायक थिए। मोशाको मृत्यु भए पछि, परमप्रभु यहोशूसित बात गर्नुभयो। परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो,
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

2 “मेरो दास मोशाको मृत्यु भयो। अब तिमी अनि यी मानिसहरू यर्दन नदी पार गरी जानु पर्छ। तिमीहरू त्यो भूमिमा अवश्यै जानु पर्छ जुन चाहि तिमीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिदैछु।
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 मैले मोशालाई प्रतिज्ञा दिएको थिए कि म यो भूमि तँलाई दिनेछु। यसर्थ तँ जहाँ कही जानेछस् म तँलाई त्यो भूमि दिनेछु।
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

4 हित्तीहरूको सम्पूर्ण भूमि, मरूभूमि अनि लबानोनदेखि महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म तिमीहरूको हुने छ। अनि यहाँ देखि पश्चिमको भूमध्यसागर (त्यो स्थान जहाँ सूर्य अस्त हुन्छ) सम्मका समस्त भूमि तेरो सीमाना भित्र हुनेछ।
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

5 कुनै पनि मानिसले तँलाई सम्पूर्ण जीवन भरी रोक्न सक्ने छैन। म जसरी मोशासित रहेको थिएँ, त्यसरी नै म तँसित रहनेछु। म तँलाई त्याग्ने छैन। म तँलाई कहिले छाड्ने छैन।
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

6 “यहोशू, तँ दृढ अनि साहसी हुनुपर्छ। तैंले यी मानिसहरूको अगुवाइ गर्नुपर्छ जसद्वारा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना भूमि लिन सकुन्। मैले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा दिएको थिएँ कि म तिनीहरूलाई यो भूमि दिनेछु।
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 तर तँ एउटा अर्कोको कारणले पनि दृढ अनि साहसी हुनुपर्छ। मेरो दास मोशाले तँलाई दिएका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्नमा तँ निश्चित हुनु पर्छ। यदि तैंलेउसको उपदेशहरू दाहिने देब्रे नफर्कीकन अनुसरण गरिस् भने तैंले गरेका सबै काममा तँ सफल हुनेछस्।
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 त्यस व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका कुराहरू सदैव याद राख। दिन-रात त्यस पुस्तकको अध्यान गर। तब तँ त्यसमा लेखिएका कुराहरू पालन गर्न निश्चित हुने छस्। यदि तैंले यसो गरिस् भने तँ ज्ञानी बन्ने छस् अनि तैंलेजे कुरा गर्छस् त्यसमा सफल हुने छस्।
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

9 याद राख, मैले तँलाई दृढ अनि साहसी हुनु भनी आज्ञा गरेकोछु। यसकारण, भयभीत नहो, किनभने परमप्रभु तेरो परमेश्वर तँ जहाँ कँही गएता पनि तेरो साथ रहनु हुनेछ।”
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
