< Numbers 14 >
1 Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
त्यस रात सारा समुदाय ठुलो आवाज निकालेर रोए ।
2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले मोशा र हारूनको आलोचना गरे । सारा समुदायले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी मिश्र देशमा नै मरेको भए पनि हुन्थ्यो अथवा यही मरुभूमिमा नै मरेको भए नि हुन्थ्यो!
3 Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
तरवारद्वारा मर्नलाई परमप्रभुले हामीलाई किन यो भूमिमा ल्याउनुभयो? हाम्रा पत्नीहरू र साना छोराछोरीहरू हताहत हुनेछन् । के हामी मिश्रमा मर्नु नै असल हुँदैनथ्यो र?
4 So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
तिनीहरूले आपसमा भने, “अर्को अगुवा चुनौँ र मिश्रतिर फर्कौं ।”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
अनि मोशा र हारून इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका समुदायका सबै भेलाको सामु घोप्टो परे ।
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
त्यो भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर्न पठाइएकामध्ये केहीमा नूनका छोरा यहोशू र यपुन्नेका छोरा कालेबले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते ।
7 and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सबै समुदायलाई भने, “हामीले घुमेका र जाँचबुझ गरेका मुलुक धेरै राम्रो छ ।
8 If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
यदि परपप्रभु हामीसँग प्रसन्न हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँले हामीलाई यो भूमिमा लानुहुनेछ र यो हामीलाई दिनुहुनेछ । भूमिमा दूध र मह बग्छ ।
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
तर परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह नगर्नुहोस्, र त्यो भूमिका मानिसहरूसँग नडराउनुहोस्, किनभने तिनीहरू हाम्रा रोटी हुन् । तिनीहरूका सुरक्षा तिनीहरूबाट हटाइनेछ, किनभने परमप्रभु हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ । तिनीहरूसँग नडराओ ।”
10 But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
अनि सारा समुदायले तिनीहरूलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्ने मतो गरे । तर भेट हुने पालमा इस्राएलका सबै मानिसकहाँ परमप्रभुको महिमा देखा पर्यो ।
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “यी मानिसहरूले मलाई कहिलेसम्म तिरस्कार गर्ने? मैले तिनीहरूका माझ गरेका मेरो शक्तिका चिन्हहरूका बाबजुद पनि तिनीहरू कहिलेसम्म ममा भरोसा गर्न चुक्छन्?
12 I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
म तिनीहरूलाई विपत्तिले प्रहार गर्नेछु र विनाश गर्नेछु अनि तेरो आफ्नै कुलबाट एउटा जाति बनाउनेछु जुन तिनीहरूभन्दा महान् र शक्तिशाली हुनेछ ।”
13 But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
मोशाले परपप्रभुलाई भने, “यदि तपाईंले यसो गर्नुभयो भने, मिश्रीहरूले यसबारे सुन्नेछन्, किनभने तपाईंले यिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको शक्तिबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
तिनीहरूले यो भूमिका मानिसहरूलाई भन्नेछन् । तपाईं परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने तिनीहरूले सुनेका छन्, किनभने तपाईंलाई आमनेसामने देखिएको छ । तपाईंको बादल हाम्रा मानिसहरूमाथि खडा छ । तपाईं दिनमा बादलको खामो भएर र रातमा आगोको खामो भएर तिनीहरूको अघिअघि जानुहुन्छ ।
15 If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
यदि तपाईंले यी मानिसहरूलाई एक जना मानिसलाई झैँ मार्नुभयो भने, तपाईंको प्रसिद्धि सुन्ने जातिहरू बोल्नेछन् र भन्नेछन्,
16 ‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
'परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको मुलुकमा यी मानिसहरूलाई लान नसक्नुभएको हुनाले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मरुभूमिमा नै मार्नुभयो ।'
17 So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
म बिन्ती गर्छु, कि तपाईंको महाशक्ति प्रयोग गर्नुहोस् । किनभने तपाईंले भन्नुभएको छ,
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
'परमप्रभु रिसाउनमा धिमा र विश्वनीयताको करारमा प्रशस्त हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले अपराध र अधर्महरू क्षमा गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूमाथि तेस्रो र चौथो पुस्तासम्म पुर्खाहरूका दण्ड ल्याउनुहुँदा उहाँले दोषीहरूलाई कुनै पनि हालतमा साफ पार्नुहुन्छ ।'
19 Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
म तपाईंसँग बिन्ती गर्छु, कि तपाईंले यी मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरू मिश्रमा हुँदादेखि अहिलेसम्म सदैव क्षमा गर्नुभएझैँ तपाईंको करारको विश्वसनीयताको महान्ताको कारण यी मानिसहरूका पाप क्षमा गर्नुहोस् ।”
20 “I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
परपप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मैले तिनीहरूलाई तेरो बिन्तीअनुसार क्षमा गरेको छु,
21 “Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
तर जस्तो म जीवित छु र पृथ्वी मेरो महिमाले ढाकिनेछ, मेरो महिमा र
22 not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
शक्तिका चिन्हहरू देख्ने ती सबै मानिस जसलाई मैले मिश्र देश र मरुभूमिमा गरेँ, तिनीहरूले मलाई दस पटकसम्म परीक्षा गरेका छन् र मेरो आवाज सुनेका छैनन् ।
23 not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
यसैले तिनीहरूले निश्चय नै त्यो भूमि देख्नेछैनन् जसबाट मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित शपथ खाएँ । तिनीहरूमध्ये मलाई घृणा गर्ने कसैले पनि यो देख्नेछैन,
24 But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
मेरो दास कालेबबाहेक, किनभने ऊसँग अर्कै आत्मा थियो । त्यसले मलाई पूर्ण रूपमा अनुसरण गरेको छ; म त्यसलाई त्यो जाँचबुझ गर्न गएको भूमिमा ल्याउनेछु । त्यसका सन्तानहरूले अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
25 Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
(त्यस बेला बेँसीमा अमालेकीहरू र कनानीहरू बस्थे ।) भोलि फर्की र नर्कटको समुद्र (लाल समुद्र) को बाटो हुँदै मरुभूमितिर जा ।”
26 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो,
27 “How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
“मेरो आलोचना गर्ने यो दुष्ट समुदायलाई मैले कहिलेसम्म सहने? इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध गरेका गनगन मैले सुनेको छु ।
28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'जस्तो म जीवित छु,' परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'जस्तो तिमीहरूले मैले सुन्ने गरी भनेका छौ, मैले तिमीहरूलाई त्यस्तै गर्नेछुः
29 Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
मेरो विरुद्ध गनगन गर्ने तिमीहरू सबै, जनगणनामा गन्ती गरिएका तिमीहरू, बिस वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा माथिका मानिसहरू पूरै तिमीहरूका मृत शरीरहरू मरुभूमिमा पड्नेछन् ।
30 Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
यपुन्नेका छोरा लालेब र नूनका छोरा यहोशूबाहेक तिमीहरू कोही पनि निश्चय नै तिमीहरूको वासस्थान बनाउने प्रतिज्ञा गरेको मुलुकमा जानेछैनौ ।
31 But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
हताहत हुन्छन् भनेका तिमीहरूका स-साना बालबच्चाहरूलाई मैले त्यो भूमिमा लानेछु । तिमीहरूले तिरस्कार गरेका भूमि तिनीहरूले उपभोग गर्नेछन् ।
32 As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
तिमीहरूको सवालमा तिमीहरूका मृत शरीरहरू यही मरुभूमिमा पडिरहनेछन् ।
33 Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू मरुभूमिमा चालिस वर्षसम्म गोठालाहरू हुनेछन् । मरुभूमिमा तिमीहरूका लाशहरू अन्त नभएसम्म तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका विद्रोहका कार्यहरूका नतिजाहरू भोग्नुपर्छ ।
34 In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
तिमीहरूले त्यो भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर्न लगाएका दिनहरूको सङ्ख्या अर्थात् चालिस दिनजस्तै, तिमीहरूले आफ्नो पापको नतिजाहरू चालिस वर्षसम्म अर्थात् एक दिनको एक वर्ष भोग्नुपर्छ र मेरो विरोध गर्नु कस्तो हुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनुपर्छ ।
35 I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
म परमप्रभुले बोलेको हुँ । मेरो विरुद्ध खडा हुने यो सबै दुष्ट समुदायमाथि म निश्चय नै यो गर्नेछु । तिनीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट हुनेछन् र तिनीहरू यहीँ मर्नेछन् ।”
36 So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
यसैले मोशाले भूमिको जासूस गर्न पठाएकाहरू जो फर्के र जसले भूमिबारे खराब खबर फैलाएर मोशा विरुद्ध सारा समुदायलाई गनगन गर्न लगाउने मानिसहरू थिए अर्थात्
37 those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
भूमिबारे खराब खबर ल्याउने यी मानिसहरूलाई प्रहार गरियो र तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु महामारीले मरे ।
38 Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
भूमिको जासूस गर्न गएकाहरूमध्ये नूनका छोरा यहोशू र यपुन्नेका छोरा कालेब मात्र जीवित रहे ।
39 And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
जब मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसलाई यी कुराहरू बताए, तिनीहरूले गम्भीर रूपमा विलाप गरे ।
40 Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र पहाडको चुचुरोमा गए, र भने, “हेर, हामी यहाँ छौँ, र हामी परमप्रभुले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको ठाउँतिर जानेछौँ, किनभने हामीले पाप गरेका छौँ ।”
41 But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
तर मोशाले भने, “तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको आज्ञा किन तोड्छौ? तिमीहरू सफल हुनेछेनौ ।
42 Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
नजाओ, किनभने तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूबाट पराजित हुनलाई बचाउन परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्न ।
43 For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
त्यहाँ अमालेकीहरू र कनानीहरू छन्, र तिमीहरू तरवारद्वारा मर्नेछौ, किनभने तिमीहरू परमप्रभुलाई अनुसरण गर्नबाट तर्किएका छौ । यसैले उहाँ तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुनेछैन ।”
44 But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
तर तिनीहरूले पहाडी देशतिर जाने दम्भ गरे; तथापि, न त मोशा न त परमप्रभुको सन्दूकले छाउनी छोडे ।
45 Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
त्यसपछि अमालेकीहरू ओर्लेर आए, र कनानीहरू पनि जो ती पहाडहरूमा बस्थे । तिनीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनीहरूलाई होर्मासम्म नै खेदेर पराजित गरे ।
