Numbers 17
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write every man's name 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 You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
लेवीको लहुरोमा तैँले हारूनको नाउँ लेख्नुपर्छ । आ-आफ्नो कुलबाट हरेक अगुवाको निम्ति एउटा लहुरो हुनुपर्छ ।
4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
तैँले ती लहुरोहरूलाई करारको गवाही-पाटीको सामु भेट हुने पालमा राख्नुपर्छ, जहाँ मैले तँलाई भेट्छु ।
5 It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings 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 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their ancestral houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their 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 Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.
त्यसपछि मोशाले लहुरोहरूलाई गवाही-पाटीको पालमा परमप्रभुको सामु राखे ।
8 It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and look, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe 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 Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
मोशाले ती सबै लहुरालाई इस्राएलका मानिसको सामु ल्याए र सबैले आ-आफ्नो लहुरो लिए ।
10 The LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they 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 Moses did so. As the LORD commanded him, so he did.
मोशाले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Look, we perish. We are undone. We are all undone.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मोशालाई भने, “यहाँ हामी मर्नेभयौँ! हामी सबै नष्ट हुनेभयौ!
13 Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, dies. Will we all perish?"
परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थान नजिक आउने हरेक मर्ने छ । के हामी पनि मर्नुपर्छ?”
