Numbers 17
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods of them, according to the houses of their families, a rod from all their princes, according to the houses of their families, twelve rods, and write the name of each on his rod.
“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन् र तिनीहरूबाट हरेक कुलको निम्ति एउटा-एउटा गरी बाह्रवटा लहुरो ले । हरेक मानिसको लहुरोमा आ-आफ्नो नाउँ लेख् ।
3 And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi; for it is one rod [for each]: they shall give [them] according to the tribe of the house of their families.
लेवीको लहुरोमा तैँले हारूनको नाउँ लेख्नुपर्छ । आ-आफ्नो कुलबाट हरेक अगुवाको निम्ति एउटा लहुरो हुनुपर्छ ।
4 And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to thee.
तैँले ती लहुरोहरूलाई करारको गवाही-पाटीको सामु भेट हुने पालमा राख्नुपर्छ, जहाँ मैले तँलाई भेट्छु ।
5 And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall blossom; and I will remove from me the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.
मैले चुनेको मानिसको लहुरो टुसाउनेछ । म इस्राएलका मानिसको गनगन बन्द गराउनेछु, जुन तेरो विरुद्ध भइरहेको छ ।”
6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him a rod [each], for one chief a rod, according to the house of their families, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [was] in the midst of the rods.
यसैले मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने । सबै कुलनायकले हरेक अगुवाको निम्ति एउटा लहुरो दिए । कुलहरूबाट छानेर बाह्रवटा लहुरो तिनलाई दिइयो । तिनीहरूका माझमा हारूनको लहुरो पनि थियो ।
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
त्यसपछि मोशाले लहुरोहरूलाई गवाही-पाटीको पालमा परमप्रभुको सामु राखे ।
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed, and put forth a bud, and bloomed blossoms and produced almonds.
अर्को दिन मोशा गवाही-पाटी भएको पालमा गए, हेर! लेवी कुलका हारूनको लहुरोमा कोपिला लागेको रहेछ । यसमा कोपिला लगेको थियो, फूल फुलेको थियो र हाडे-बदाम पाकेको थियो!
9 And Moses brought forth all the rods from before the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took his rod.
मोशाले ती सबै लहुरालाई इस्राएलका मानिसको सामु ल्याए र सबैले आ-आफ्नो लहुरो लिए ।
10 And the Lord said to Moses, Lay up the rod of Aaron before the testimonies to be kept as a sign for the children of the disobedient; and let their murmuring cease from me, and they shall not die.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “हारूनको लहुरो गवाही-पाटीको सामु राख् । यसलाई विद्रोह गर्ने मानिसहरूको विरुद्ध दोषको चिन्हको रूपमा राख् । यसरी तैँले मेरो विरुद्ध तिनीहरूको गनगन अन्त गर्नेछस् नत्रता तिनीहरू मर्नेछन् ।”
11 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
मोशाले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मोशालाई भने, “यहाँ हामी मर्नेभयौँ! हामी सबै नष्ट हुनेभयौ!
13 Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?
परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थान नजिक आउने हरेक मर्ने छ । के हामी पनि मर्नुपर्छ?”
