Numbers 3

1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

यो परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतमाथि मोशासँग बोल्नुहुँदा हारून र मोशाका सन्तानहरूको इतिहास हो ।

2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

हारूनका छोराका नाउँहरू यिनै हुन्: जेठा नादाब, अबीहू, एलाजार र ईतामार थिए ।

3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.

हारून पुजारीका छोराहरूका नाउँहरू यिनै हुन् जसलाई पुजारीको रूपमा अभिषेक गरिएको थियो र पुजारीको रूपमा सेवा गर्न नियुक्‍त गरिएका थिए ।

4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.

तर नादाब र अबीहूले सीनै पर्वतमा अस्वीकार्य आगो परमप्रभुलाई चढाउँदा तिनीहरू उहाँको सामु मरे । नादाब र अबीहूका कुनै छोराछोरी थिएन । यसैले एलाजार र ईतामारले तिनीहरूका बुबा हारूनसँग पुजारीको रूपमा सेवा गरे ।

5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

“लेवीको कुललाई ले र तिनीहरूले पुजारी हारूनलाई सहायता गर्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई तिनीकहाँ प्रस्तुत गर् ।

7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

तिनीहरूले भेट हुने पालको सामु हारून र सारा समुदायको तर्फबाट दायित्वहरू पुरा गर्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले पवित्र वासस्थानमा सेवा गर्नुपर्छ ।

8 And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

तिनीहरूले भेट हुने पालका सबै सरसामानको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले पवित्र वासस्थानको सेवा वहन गर्न इस्राएलका कुलहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुपर्छ ।

9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel.

तैँले लेवीहरू हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई सेवा गर्न तिनलाई सहायता गर्न तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा सुम्पिएका छन् ।

10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

तैँले हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई पुजारीको रूपमा नियुक्‍त गर्नुपर्छ र नजिक आउने कुनै पनि मानिसलाई मार्नुपर्छ ।”

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:

“हेर्, मैले लेवीहरूलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूबाट लिएको छु । मैले यो इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका जेठा छोराहरूको सट्टा लिएको छु । लेवीहरू मेरा हुन् ।

13 for all the firstborn are mine; on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shall be; I am the LORD.

पहिले जन्मेका सबै मेरा हुन् । मैले मिश्र देशमा पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई आक्रमण गरेको दिन नै इस्राएलका मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैको पहिले जन्मेका सबैलाई मेरो निम्ति अलग गरेँ । तिनीहरू मेरा हुन् । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।”

14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

परमप्रभुले सीनैको मरुभूमिमा मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

15 Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

“लेवीका हरेक कुल र परिवार-परिवारअनुसार गन्ती गर् । एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका सबै पुरुषको गन्ती गर् ।

16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.

मोशाले परमप्रभुको वचनअनुसार उहाँले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम तिनीहरूको गन्ती गरे ।

17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

लेवीका छोराहरूका नाउँहरू गेर्शोन, कहात र मरारी थिए ।

18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni and Shimei.

19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.

मरारीका छोराहरूबाटका वंशहरू महली र मूशी थिए । कुल-कुलअनुसारका लेवीका कुलहरू यिनै हुन् ।

21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

लिब्‍नी र शिमीका कुलहरू गेर्शोनबाट आउँछ । गेर्शोनीहरूका कुलहरू यिनै हुन् ।

22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका गनिएका सबै पुरुष जम्मा ७,५०० थिए ।

23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.

गेर्शोनीहरूका कुलहरूले पवित्र वासस्थानको पश्‍चिमपट्टि छाउनी लगाउनू ।

24 And the prince of the fathers’ house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

लाएलका छोरा एल्यासापले गेर्शोनीहरूका कुलहरूको नेतृत्व गर्नुपर्छ ।

25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the Tent, the covering thereof, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting,

गेर्शोनको परिवारले पवित्र वासस्थानलगायत भेट हुने पालको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले पाल, यसको छत र भेट हुने पालको प्रवेश-द्वारको रूपमा प्रयोग गरिएको पर्दाको देखरेख गर्नुपर्छ ।

26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

तिनीहरूले चोकका पर्दाहरू अनि पवित्र वासस्थान र वेदी वरिपरिका पर्दाहरूको देखरेख गर्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले भेट हुने पाल र यसमा भएका सबै थोकको देखरेख गर्नुपर्छ ।

27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

यिनीहरू कहातका कुलहरू हुन्ः अम्रामीहरूका कुल, इसहारीहरूका कुल, हेब्रोनीहरूका कुल र उज्‍जीएलीहरूका कुल । यिनीहरू कहाती कुलका हुन् ।

28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

परमप्रभुका सरसामानहरूको देखरेख गर्न एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका गन्ती गरिएका पुरुषहरू ८,६०० थिए ।

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

पुजारी हारूनका छोरा एलाजारले लेवीहरूको नेतृत्व गर्ने पुरुषहरूको नेतृत्व गर्नुपर्छ । तिनले पवित्र स्थानको देखरेख गर्ने पुरुषहरूको पर्यवेक्षण गर्नुपर्छ ।

33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

मरारीबाट दुईवटा कुल आएका छन्ः महलीहरूका कुल र मूशीहरूका कुल । यी कुलहरू मरारीबाट आएका हुन् ।

34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका गनिएका पुरुषहरू ६,२०० थिए ।

मोशा, हारून र तिनका छोराहरूले पवित्र वासस्थानको पूर्वतिर अर्थात् घाम झुल्कनेतिर छाउनी लगाउनुर्छ । तिनीहरू पवित्र स्थानको कर्तव्यहरू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका कर्तव्यहरू पुरा गर्न उत्तरदायी छन् । यसको नजिक आउने अन्य कुनै पनि व्यक्‍ति मारियोस् ।

39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मोशा र हारूनले लेवीका कुल एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका सबै पुरुषको गन्ती गरे । तिनीहरूले बाइस हजार पुरुषहरू गन्ती गरे ।

40 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सबै पहिले जन्मेका पुरुषहरूको गन्ती गर् । तिनीहरूका नाउँको सूची बना ।

41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

म परमप्रभु हुँ, तैँले मेरो निम्ति लेवीहरूलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको पहिले जन्मेकाहरूको सट्टामा र इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूका गाईवस्तुहरूका पहिले जन्मेकाहरूको सट्टामा लेवीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरूलाई लिनुपर्छ ।”

42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार मोशाले इस्राएलका सबै जेठा-जेठाको गन्ती गरे ।

43 And all the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

तिनले एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका सबै जेठा छोराहरूको गन्ती गरे ।

44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

तिनले गन्ती गरेका पुरुषको सङ्ख्या २२,२७३ थियो । फेरि, परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle: and the Levites shall be mine; I am the LORD.

“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका पहिले जन्मेकाहरूको सट्टामा लेवीहरूलाई ले र मानिसहरूका गाईवस्तुहरूका सट्टामा लेवीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरूलाई ले ।

46 And for the redemption of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are over and above [the number of] the Levites,

म परमप्रभु हुँ, लेवीहरू मेरा हुन् । लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्याभन्दा बढी भएका २७३ जना पहिले जन्मेकाहरूका हरेकको निम्ति तैँले पाँच-पाँच शेकेल लिनुपर्छ ।

47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):

तैँले तेरो मापदण्डको रूपमा पवित्र स्थानको शेकेल नै प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ । एक शकेलको बिस गेरा हुन्छ ।

48 and thou shalt give the money wherewith the odd number of them is redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons.

त्यो छुटकाराको मूल्य तैँले हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ ।”

49 And Moses took the redemption-money from them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

यसैले लेवीहरूद्वारा छुटकारा पाएका सङ्ख्याभन्दा धेरै भएकाहरूबाट मोशाले छुटकाराको मूल्य जम्मा गरे ।

50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary:

मोशाले इस्राएलको पहिले जन्मेकाहरूबाट पैसा उठाए । तिनले पवित्र स्थनाको शेकेलअनुसार १,३६५ शेकेल उठाए ।

51 and Moses gave the redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

मोशाले त्यो छुटकाराको मूल्य हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई दिए । परमप्रभुले उहाँको वचनद्वारा आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम मोशाले सबै थोक गरे ।
