< Numbers 31 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
2 “Punish the Midianites because of what they did to the Israelites. After that you will join your forefathers in death.”
“मिद्यानीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई जे गरेका थिए, त्यसको निम्ति बद्ला ले । त्यो काम गरेपछि तँ मर्ने छस् र तेरा मानिसहरूसँग मिल्न जाने छस् ।”
3 Moses instructed the people, “Have some of your men get ready for battle, so they can go and attack the Midianites and carry out the Lord's punishment on them.
त्यसैले मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका केही मानिसहरूलाई सुसज्‍जित पार ।
4 You are to contribute one thousand men from each Israelite tribe.”
तिनीहरू मिद्यानीहरूको विरुद्ध युद्ध लड्न जाऊन् र यसमाथि परमप्रभुको बद्ला लिऊन् । इस्राएलका हरेक कुलले युद्धको निम्ति एक हजार सिपाही पठाउनुपर्छ ।”
5 So one thousand men were chosen from each Israelite tribe, making twelve thousand troops ready for battle.
त्यसैले इस्राएलका हजारौँ पुरुषमा हरेक कुलबाट एक हजार जना अर्थात् युद्धको निम्ति बाह्र हजार सशस्‍त्र मानिस दिइयो ।
6 Moses sent them into battle, one thousand from each tribe, together with Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest. He carried with him the holy objects from the sanctuary and the trumpets used for giving signals.
त्यसपछि मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई पुजारी एलाजारका छोरा पीनहासको साथमा पवित्र स्थानका केही सरसामानहरू र सङ्केत दिनलाई तिनको स्वामित्वमा तुरहीहरूसहित हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक हजार जना मानिसलाई युद्ध गर्न पठाए । परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ
7 They attacked the Midianites, as the Lord had told Moses to do, and they killed all the men.
तिनीहरूले मिद्यनीहरूसँग लडे ।
8 Among those killed were the five kings of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed Balaam, son of Beor, with the sword.
तिनीहरूले सबै मानिसलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले बाँकी मृतकहरूसहित मिद्यानका पाँच जना राजा एवी, रेकेम, सूर, हूर र रेबालाई मारे ।
9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children, and they took as plunder all their herds, flocks, and possessions.
इस्राएलका फौजले मिद्यानका महिलाहरू, तिनीहरूका बालबच्‍चाहरू, तिनीहरूका सबै गाईवस्तु, तिनीहरूका सबै भेडाबाख्रा र तिनीहरूका सबै मालसामान लगे । तिनीहरूले यिनीहरूलाई लुटको रूपमा लिए ।
10 They set fire to all the Midianite towns and camps where they had lived,
तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका सबै सहर जलाइदिए, जहाँ उनीहरू बसेका थिए र उनीहरूका छाउनीहरू थिए ।
11 and carried away all the plunder and loot, including people and animals.
तिनीहरूले मानिसहरू र पशुहरू दुवैलाई लुटको माल र कैदीको रूपमा लिए ।
12 They brought the prisoners, loot, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the rest of the Israelites where they were camped on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan opposite Jericho.
तिनीहरूले कैदीहरूलाई, लुटका मालहरू र कब्जा गरेका सामानहरू मोशा, पुजारी एलाजार र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका समुदायकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले यिनीहरूलाई मोआबको मैदानमा यरीहो नजिक यर्दनको किनारमा ल्याए ।
13 Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the Israelite leaders went out of the camp to meet them.
मोशा, पुजारी एलाजार र समुदायका सबै अगुवा तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न छाउनी बाहिर गए ।
14 Moses was angry with the army officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, who returned from the battle.
तर मोशा लडाइँबाट आएका फौजका अधिकृतहरू, हजार जनाको सेनापति र सय जनाको कप्‍तानहरूसँग रिसाए ।
15 “Why did you let all the women live?” he asked them.
मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “के तिमीहरूले यी सबै महिलालाई जीवितै राखेको?
16 “You realize that these were the women seduced the Israelite men, leading them to be unfaithful to the Lord at Peor, following Balaam's advice! That's why the Lord's people suffered from the plague!
हेर, यिनै महिलाहरूले परमप्रभुका समुदायमाझ विपत्ति फैलिँदा बालामको सल्लाहमा पोरको विषयमा परमप्रभु विरुद्ध पाप गर्न लगाएका थिए ।
17 So go and kill all the boys and every woman who has had slept with a man.
अब सबै स-साना पुरुषहरूलाई मार् र पुरुषसँग सहवास गरेका सबै महिलालाई पनि मार ।
18 Let all the girls who are virgins live. They are yours.
तर पुरुषसँग सहवास नगरेका सबै जवान महिलालाई आफ्नो निम्ति लेओ ।
19 All those of you who killed someone or touched a dead body must stay outside the camp for seven days. Purify yourselves and your prisoners on the third day and the seventh day.
तिमीहरू सात दिनसम्म इस्राएलको छाउनीबाहिर छाउनीमा बस्‍नुपर्छ । कसैलाई मारेका र मुर्दालाई छोएका तिमीहरू सबैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका कैदीहरूसहित तेस्रो र सातौँ दिनमा आफैलाई शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ ।
20 Also purify all your clothing garment and anything made of leather, goat's hair, or wood.”
तिमीहरूले हरेक पोशाक र पशुका छाला, बाख्राको रौँ र काठले बनेका सबै मालसामानलाई शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ ।”
21 Eleazar the priest told the soldiers who had gone into battle, “These are the legal regulations that the Lord has ordered Moses to be carried out:
पुजारी एलाजारले युद्धमा गएका सिपाहीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले मोशालाई दिनुभएको धर्म-विधि यही होः
22 All that's made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
सुन, चाँदी, काँसा, फलाम, टिन र सिसा,
23 anything that doesn't burn—must be put through fire to make it clean. But it still has to be purified using water of purification. Anything that burns must be put through the water.
र आगोले नजल्ने सबै थोकलाई तिमीहरूले आगोमा पोल्नुपर्छ र यो शुद्ध हुने छ । त्यसपछि तिमीहरूले यिनीहरूलाई शुद्ध पार्ने पानीले शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ । जुन कुरालाई आगोमा जलाउन मिल्दैन, त्यसलाई तिमीहरूले पानीले शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ ।
24 Wash your clothes on the seventh day and you will be clean. Then you can enter the camp.”
तिमीहरूले सातौँ दिनमा तिमीहरूका लुगा धुनुपर्छ र तिमीहरू शुद्ध हुने छौ । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू इस्राएलको छाउनीभित्र आउन सक्छौ ।
25 The Lord told Moses,
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
26 “You, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite family leaders are to take a record of the people and animals that were captured.
“मानिस र पशुहरू दुवै लुटका मालहरूको रूपमा गन्ती गर् । तँ, पुजारी एलाजार र समुदायका कुल-कुलका अगुवाहरूले लुटका मालहरूलाई
27 Then divide them between the troops who went into battle and the rest of the Israelites.
दुई भाग गर्नुपर्छ । यसलाई लडाइँमा जाने सिपाहीहरू र सबै बाँकी समुदायबिच बाँड् ।
28 Take as a contribution to the Lord from what is allocated to the troops who went into battle one out of every five hundred people, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.
त्यसपछि लडाइँमा गएका सिपाहीहरूबाट मेरो निम्ति कर लिनू । यो कर मानिस, गाईवस्तु, गधा, भेडा वा बाख्राहरू जे भए पनि हरेक पाँच सयमा एउटा हुनुपर्छ ।
29 Take this from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord.
यो कर तिनीहरूका आधा अंशबाट लिनू र यसलाई मेरो निम्ति चढाउन पुजारी एलाजारलाई दिनू ।
30 From the Israelites; half share, take one out of every fifty people, cattle, donkeys, or sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who take care of the Lord's Tabernacle.”
साथै, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका आधा भागबाट, मानिस, गाईवस्तु, गधा, भेडा र बाख्राबाट तैँले हरेक पचास वटामा एउटा लिनू । यिनीहरूलाई मेरो पवित्र वासस्थानको हेरचाह गर्ने लेवीहरूलाई दिनू ।”
31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord had ordered Moses.
त्यसैले मोशा र पुजारी एलाजारले परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
32 This was the list of plunder remaining that had been looted by the troops: 675,000 sheep,
सिपाहीहरूले लिएका लुटबाट बाँकी रहेका ६,७५,००० भेडा,
33 72,000 cattle,
सत्तरी हजार गोरु,
34 61,000 donkeys,
एकसट्ठी हजार गधा,
35 and 32,000 virgins.
र पुरुषसँग कहिल्यै सहवास नगरेका तिस हजार महिला थिए ।
36 This was the half share for those who had gone to fight: 337,500 sheep,
सिपाहीहरूका निम्ति राखिएका भेडाहरू ३,३७, ००० थियो । भेडाहरूबाट
37 with a contribution for the Lord of 675,
परमप्रभुको भाग ६७५ थियो ।
38 36,000 cattle, with a Lord's contribution of 72,
गोरुहरू छत्तिस हजार थिए, जसबाट परमप्रभुको भागमा बहत्तरवटा थिए ।
39 30,500 donkeys, with a Lord's contribution of 61,
गधाहरू ३०,५०० थिए, जसबाट परमप्रभुको भाग एकसट्ठीवटा थिए ।
40 and 16,000 people, with a Lord's contribution of 32.
सोह्र हजार महिला थिए, जसबाट परमप्रभुको भाग बत्तिस जना थिए ।
41 Moses gave the contribution to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord as the Lord had ordered Moses.
परमप्रभुलाई चढाउने बलि हुनुपर्ने कर मोशाले लिए । परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिनले यसलाई पुजारी एलाजारलाई दिए ।
42 The Israelites' half share left after Moses had given the half share to the troops who had gone to fight,
युद्धमा गएका सिपाहीहरूबाट मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका आधा भागको सन्दर्भमा
43 consisted of: 337,500 sheep,
समुदायको आधा भाग ३,३७,५०० भेडा,
44 36,000 cattle,
तिस हजार गोरु,
45 30,500 donkeys,
३०,५०० गधा,
46 and 16,000 people.
र सोह्र हजार महिला थिए ।
47 Moses took from the Israelites' half one out of every fifty people and animals and gave them the Levites who take care of the Lord's Tabernacle, as the Lord had ordered him.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका आधा भागबाट मोशाले पशु र मानिस दुवैबाट हरेक पचास वटाबाट एउटा लिए । परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम तिनले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानको हेरचाह गर्ने लेवीहरूलाई दिए ।
48 The army officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, came to Moses
फौजका अधिकृतहरू, हजारका सेनापतिहरू र पचास जनाका कप्‍तानहरू मोशाकहाँ आए ।
49 and told him, “We, your servants, have checked the troops we command and not a single man is missing.
तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंका दासहरूले हाम्रो स्वामित्वमा भएका सिपाहीहरूको गन्ती गरेका छन् र एक जना पनि हराएको छैन ।
50 So we have brought the Lord an offering of the gold objects each man received—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—in order that we may be right before the Lord.”
हामी हरेकले पाएका सुनका गहनाहरू, बाजू, बाला, छाप औँठी, कुण्डल र सिक्रीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु हाम्रो प्रायश्‍चित्त गर्नको निम्ति परमप्रभुको भेटी ल्याएका छौँ ।”
51 Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted from them all the objects made out of gold.
मोशा र पुजारी एलाजारले सुन र सबै कलात्मक सरसामान तिनीहरूबाट ग्रहण गरे ।
52 The gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds gave as an offering to the Lord weighed in total 16,750 shekels.
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई दिएका, हजारका सेनापतिहरू र सय जनाका कप्‍तानहरूबाट आएका सुनका भेटीहरूको तौल एक सय नब्बे किलोग्राम थियो ।
53 (The men who had fought in the battle had each taken plunder for himself.)
हरेक सिपाहीले आ-आफ्नो निम्ति लुटका माल लिएका थिए ।
54 Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and took it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial offering for the Israelites in the presence of the Lord.
मोशा र पुजारी एलाजारले हजारका सेनापतिहरू र सयका कप्‍तानहरूबाट सुन लिए । तिनीहरूले यसलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको याद दिलाउने चिनोको रूपमा भेट हुने पालभित्र लगे ।
